FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Outlook Is Not Favorable That We vii
| Get Chemical Engine.
The chief of the fire department, the
subscription collector, and several
members of the board of fire delegates
held an informal meeting last evening
to consider the matter of the proposed
fire improvements for the city. They
find that the $4OO subscribed by the
council. the $500 from the Hook and
Ladder Company and the 500 from the
Columbia Hose Company, together
with all that can be relied upon from
the merchants subscription list, the
total is still $3.50 short of the necessary
cost of the improvements. Unless the
additional $3.50 is secured before next
Tuesday. the board of delegates will
officially abandon the plan at their
regular meeting that evening.

Tho above is not encouraging to
those who haye earnestly endeavored
to get reduction of insurance rates
through the purchase of additional fire
apparatus. In fact it is discouraging

The proposition was made by the un-
derwriters that if certain improve.

be made on insurance rates on bnsi-
ness risks below the bluff. People
were asked to subscribe 10 per cent of
the amount of their insurance pre-

one year, to pay for the required i'm
Some complied with |
this request, while others refused to |
subscribe anything. Because of the |
failure to receive a full subscription,
the board of delegates and subscrip- |
tion committee find themselves with |
only about 80 per cent of the required |
amount to make the improvements.
Now will the property owners of the

Dr. will they make up the $3.50 that are
needed?

In order to avoid the charge Of mill

President Mckinley and Secretary
Root are considering the advisability
of withdrawing troops from Cuba and
Puerto Rico. There are now in Cuba

Puerto Rico 10S officers and 1925 men.
In his annual report, just submitted
to Secretary Root, Brigadier-General
Wood, commanding the department of
Santiago, declares he has too many
troops. Secretary Root telegraphed
General Wood today to make supple
mental report as to the number OF men
in his department and the number
which can with safety be Withdrawn.
Instructions were sent several days
ago to General Brooke, commanding
the division in Cuba, to report upon

Successful Minstrelcy.

Beach and Bowers minstrels gave q
very amusing and laughable per-
formance in the Voet last night. The
entire company of 1S is composed of
artists and the orchestra is as good as
ever appeared in theater in this city.
The first part OF tn performance was
minstrelcy and was up-to date in every
detail, All the turns were good, and
the Jokes new and fresh, regular
sidesplitting puns that kept the audi.
ence convulsed with laughter. The
second part of the performance was a
continuous round of pleasure, and in
troduced number of specialties that
were entirely new. Among them
were the Indian club swinging, which
was fully worth the price OF the show
bicycle riding that could not be ex-
celled, and tumbling that could only
be done by artists in that line. The
performance closed with an exhibition
of trained dogs that was very clever
and brought forth abundant applause

MORE ANXIETY.
FOR ENGLAND
An Uprising Of the Ba'
sutos Is Threatened.

NEW YORK, Noy. S.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
danger of BasuSo uprising is now
admitted to be imminent, and this will
affect General Buffers plan of cam.
paign and may render necessary the
mobilization of the second army corps.
The Basutos have a large force of
mounted warriors, armed with rifles
and highly skilled mounted infantry,
and they have an innate passion for
fighting and strong animosity towards
the Dutch.
Certainly with the Free State at war
with England, it is impossible for the
British troops to police the Basutoland
border or take any but ineffective pre-.
measures for averting a
dire catastrophe. The black menace is
now the darkest cloud that is settling
over South Africa.

Without waiting for General Wheaton
to reach his destination, General Mac
Arthur has commenced his advance,
while General Lawton has been COM
PEELED to remain inactive because of the
fact that the heavy rains have sub

The effect of the delay in General
Wheaton g movement aud the advance

the officials fear, that Aguin,.ldo will
again escape from the cul be sac in
which it was hoped to corner him.

Wednesday evening, November 8:

yet. A slight bombardment did no
damage. Information from Maleking
shows that place was safe October q.
Colonel Plumber had successful en-
gsgement near Fort Tuli, October 81.
General White reports by pigeon
post that the wounded and some civ.
ilians from Ladysmish have been re-
moved four miles down the railroad by
arrangement with General Joudert, to
neutral place to save them from the
bombardment. Ninety-nine wounded,
from Dundee have been sent in under
a flag of truce. They are all doing well.

and $1,000 Fine.
The eliminating scene in the long
drawn drama of litigation growing oul
of the Occur d'Alene labor troubles
was enacted in the federal court q,
Moscow, Idaho, Monday afternoon,
when 10 men found guilty of interfer-
ing with the United States mails near
Wardner during the riots of April 29
were sentenced by Judge Beatty each
to serve % months in the United States
prison at San Quentin, CAL, and each
to pay fine of $1,000, with the excep-
tion of Dennis O'Rourke, who, on ac-
count of his youth, gets off with 20
months and a fine of $1,000.
Promptly at O'Clock the prisoners,
in custody of the officers, entered The
crowded courtroom. The accused re-
sponded as their names were called by
Clerk Richardson. Judge Beatty then
arose aud addressed them saying:
"This is the hour haye set for your
judgment. You have been indicted by
u grand jury, convicted by trial jury,
and it devolves upon me to pronounce
your sentence"
. Counsel for defense arose and made
a motion that Judgment be suspended
for 20 hours, pending the procuring of |
evidence which the prisoners hoped |

Judge Beatty declined to grant. saying
that the trial had been thorough and
fair, and he had fully decided on what
he should do. Then a motion for. ar
rest OF judgment was made, defend.
ants claiming that the charges upon
which they were convicted were not in
accordance with the law; that the
count of conspiracy and the count of
the mails were joined in
ihe Indictment; that the trial for these
Lcts should have been a separate and
distinct procedure; that the jury was
,uilty of misconduct, and that the
'ourt had admitted evidence contrary
o law.
Judge Beaety overruled the motion
md proceeded to summary of the
ases preliminary to pronouncing sem
ence. He spoke of the lamentable
ature of the affair, expressing con-
iderable regret for the prisoners, but ]
aging he had to perform his duty of
nforcing the law.
