SAN FRANCISCo'S FIRE.
RumOr that a Discharged EmpIOye
Burned the baldwin Hotel.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-Nothing new
developed to-day in connection with the
Baldwin Hotel fire. The ruins are being
searched as rapidly as their dangerous con-
dition will permit. No bodies have been re-
covered since yesterday. but the stencil
arising from the debris is almost conclusive
proof that at least one more body will be
unearthed shortly The revised list of dead
and missing is as follows:
Dead-Jonathan l. White Lewis Meyers.
Tate Pryor and j. NJ. Leighthead.
Missing-John j. Carter and Charles Nc
Cartney.
Manager Lake, of the burned hotel, says
that many of his recent guests have not
called on him since the fire for their mail
or to inquire about their personal effects,
and it is believed that some of the persons
occupying rooms were not registered at the
office There are rumors of incendiarism in
connection with the fire. the crime being at
tributed to a discharged employe. who it is
said had made threats to burn the place.
Two fires were discovered In the hotel and
its annex on Friday night of last week. but
both were eXtlnguished without doing any
damage. Another theory of the origin of
the blaze is that 1t was the result of the
carelessness of the cooks and walters, who
are alleged to have INDUCED in revel in the
kitchen on the night before the building
was burned. The fire wardens will investi-
gate the tier to-day.

at the Baldwin, is in bed at the Hotel Lang

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-The annual re-
port of Paymaster General T. Fl. Stanton,
Of the army, shows an expenditure of $23,-
499, 1863, an increase of $2,326,SO4 compared
with last year. General Stanton says the
rapid increase of the army gave rise to
many questions as to the law governing
payments to volunteers which the depart
ment has endeavored to adjust satisfactor-
lily. The mastering out and scattering Of
troops has imposed additional work upon
the pay department. He recommends an in
crease in the regular force for the pay
corps saying: 81 earnestly recommend that
to the regular pay corps of the army there
be added three assistant paymasters gem
eral, five deputy paymasters general and
twenty majors and paymasters; the promo

TAKING LIVE MASKS.

New York Herald.


One often observes, when reading of the
demise of a celebrity, that a mask was taken
by Mr. So-and-so, the celebrated sculptor,
soon after the death. says the Strand, but
really very few people know how this is
carried out They might have sone idea that
plaster of paris is put over the dead man s
face, but there the idea ends.
A mask from life is taken almost precisely
in the same way as after death, save that
much greater care has to be used as the

to undergo, the sensation being most dis

table, and towels are placed around his
neck and forehead to prevent the plaster
going where not intended. The face is slight

of the skin. Care has to be especially taken
with the eyelashes, as otherwise In subse,

city registrar, was indicted on four counts
by the grand jury to-day, charged with

in the employ of the city. Bosch was for
merly superintendent of the street sprink-
ling department, and the offenseS with
which he is charged were committed by
him while in charge of that department. it
is said. Bosch surrendered and was re-

1.e..on. Of the war ON the Sea.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga special to the
World from London says: Captain Mahan,
of the United States navy, publishes in the
Times the first of four articles on The War
on the Sea and It's Lessons He attaches
immense Importance to the bringing OF the
Oregon from the Pacific to the Atlantic, be-
cause it showed the grip the American fleet
had on Cerveras squadron and the conse-
ouent power to move an army to Santiago
without fear. He pays a high tribute to
Sampson for his successful bottling of Ger
Vera's squadron at Santiago, an operation
fraught with difficulties, doubts, uncertain
ties and more akin to the wiring down of
champagne in unbreakable bands than the
mere showing of n cork into a bottle. AS
to Camaras move to the Philippines, if he
had persevered though the American fleet
was quite safe, it might have necessitated
a temporary abandonment of Manila bay.
He then enters into technical considera.
ton of the momentous problem whethet
the individual size of ships or their number
should be the aim of naval powers. He
comes to the conclusion that. other things
being equal, numbers mean an increase of
offensive power. The article has excited
the iveliest interest in naval circles, where.
owing to it's inevitable technicality it is

LAVIGNE BESTS TRACY.

Bout at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-George La
vigne gained the decision over Tom Tracy
tonight at the end of a twenty-round fight
at 142 pounds or under. The fighting was
clever and interesting throughout, but lacked
the excitement which usually accompanies
contest between two such opponents of pugil-
ism. Lavigne did decidedly the most work,
being aggressive in every round, forcing
Tracy about the ring and compelling him to
use all his cleVerneSS and stiffness of foot
to avoid the little champions rushes. Tracy
did not seem to be at all chagrined over the
adverse decision and took it all good
naturally. The crowd was as large as any
that has assembled in Woodwards Pavilion
since the Walcott-Greene fight, probably six
thousand persons being present.
