But for the efforts of John Greg

1ieved to be dead beneath the tottering

dead: Bartholomew Sparkoeietz, 80

There fire is thought to have started
from sponstaneous combustion among
some old rags in the basement. The
building stood at 1lV2-1458 Indiana
avenue and was a four-story brick
structure. The flames quickly spread
to the upper floors by way of the ele-
vator shaft and stairway The highly
inflamNable nature of the stock caused
the building to fill with dense smoke,
rendering escape difficult for employees
on the three higher stories. The oc-
cupants of the building became panic
stricken and rushed to the windows.
Those who went to the front where
there was a fire escape, were able to
escape On the south side of the
burned structure, however, many of
the frenzied women leaped out of the
third story windows to the roof of
shed. 1t was at this point that most
of those injured suffered. On the north
side of the building several young
women escaped down ladder raised
by Mrs. George Caldwell and Mrs.
Rend, residents of the neighborhood.

GENERAL H. G. OTIS.
Dimes With the President and
Talks of the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-PreSident
Mckinley and General Harrison Gray
Otis, who arrived here yesterday from
the West, had an extended conference
to-day on affairs relating particularly
to the campaign in the Philippines
They are long personal friends. and the
opportunity of discussing questions Of
Importance in which they are mutually
and deeply interested was enjoyed by
both. During the afternoon General
Otis took luncheon with the President,
subsequently went driving with him,
and this evening. in company with Ad-
jutant General Corbin, dined with him
at the White House.
Late tonight. when asked by a rep
resentative of the Associated Press
about his conference with the Presi-
dent, General Otis replied:
Really there was nothing significant
or specially important about it. We
discussed pretty thoroughly The situa-
ton in the Philippines and in a rem
iniscent way talked of incidents in the
war OF thirty years ago in which we
both had a part. Beyond that there is
little to be said. I may say that the
President is quite satisfied with affairs
IN the philippines, as they are being
conducted by Major General Otis He
has implicit confidence in General Otis
and That confidence is not misplaced
General Otis, who, by the way. is not
a relative of mine, combines the ak
cellent qualities of the lawyer, the
diplomat and the soldier, and I have
not doubt that he will prosecute the
Philippine war to a successful conclu-
sion.
THE President is fully determined"
continued General Otis. ito put down
the instruction in those islands. His
mind IS made up on that point. Ar
rangements have been perfected to fur
nish Major General Otis with all the
men he may need to bring the rebellion
to successful conclusion. The volun~
teers who have distinguished them
selves as soldiers have seldom done,
are being brought home as rapidly as
possible. They fought brilliantly long
after the contract for their services mad
expired, but they fought willingly and
without single. complaint as mobiles
always fight"
General Otis was asked whether his
conference with the President to-day
had any reference to the rumor that
he might take place in the Cabinet.
may say as to that" replied the
General, decisively, that not the
faintest suggestion has ever been made
to or by me upon the subject by the
President. There is absolutely no
foundation for the story
General Otis will remain here several
days. and then will go east before re-
turning to his Los Angeles home.

TURNER WON.
Knocked Out Cocker Tweedie in
the Eighth Round.

STOCKTON, July 3.-Rufe Turner,
the colored Stockton boy who is seek
ing honors in the lightweight class,
knocked Cocker Tweedie, of Australia,
cold in the eight round of what was
to have been twenty-round fight.
1t was a hard fight from the very
start, with Tweediel outpointing the
colored boy in boxing in every round,
so that there is no doubt that the de-
cision would have been his had both
stayed the limit. The knockout blow
was on the back of the left jawbone
and almost under the ear, and was
the fourth swing which Turner had
made at his jaw, three of them being
successfully blocked.
Tweedie turned half round and fell
with the glove still at the point of
the chin, showing that he had not
placed it back far enough by about
five inches to catch and block the force
of the blow.
The referee, James Fox, of the Re-
lance Club, of Oakland, counted
Tweedie out and declared Turner the
winner. Later in conversation with
Instructor Eckert, of the Stockton Ath-
letic Club, he declared that he thought
Tweedie faxed the fall and the fight
on his own part. For time he be-
lieved that he had the right to declare
all bets off, and so it was noised about
but as he had left the ring when he
made the second part of his decision
bets stand. Fox declared that Turner
was not a party to the fake. but that
Tweedie. and his friends were. Many
at the ringside agree with Fox that
there was no necessity for Tweedie go
ing out, while others are as strongly
of the opinion that the knockout was
clean and legitimate.
The preliminary between Frank
Crowley, of Marysville, and Al Doyle,
of San Francisco, was decided a draw.
