cation for membership to the Interstate

them from any other recognized clup
were shut out. Consequently several local
hounds that have been purchased from
San Francisco and elsewhere were not al
lowed to enter. Gus and Joe Adams
hounds, Tipperary Lass and Black Jack,
which are barred from Interstate parks,
were shut out, though the bar will prob
ably be removed shortly, as the hounds

RARE OLD MANUSCRIPTS
AND BOOKS DESTROYED
Fire at Chicago Entailing Loss of
Nearly Three Quarters of a
Million.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE five-story brick
building at the northwest corner of Wa
bash avenue and Madison street, occu-
pied by the book and stationery firm of A.
c. McClurg & Co., was, with it's contents,
totally destroyed by fire to-day, entailing
a loss of nearly $65O,OOO, of which 100000
was on the, stock; The insurance was
about $3.50 600. McClurg & Co. carried one
of the largest stocks of rare old books and
manuscripts outside the great libraries.
The fire was started by an explosion of
gas on the third floor and spread with
amazing rapidity. The firemen from the
first had no hope of saving the building,
and directed their efforts to preventing
the flames spreading. Considerable diff
ficulty was experienced on account of the
low water pressure, many of the hydrants
being partly frozen. The temperature was
several degrees below zero. and a bitter
north wind was blowing. Many of the
firemen were severely frost-bitten.
About two hours after the fire started
the Madison street wall fell out, tons of
debris crashing into the street and break
ing many large plate-glass windows on
the opposite side. Several of the firemen
had narrow escapes.
Mandel Bros dry goods store across
the alley suffered a loss of about $4,000.

Attorney Generals
Advice to Gage.
SAID THEY SHOULD BE PAID
TWO COURSES OPEN FOR THE
GOVERNOR TO PURSUE.
Bills for Advertising Constitutional
Amendments Should Have
Been Sent to the Con-
troller.
HEADQUARTERS,

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 12.-In refusing the claims
of the newspapers for the advertising of
constitutional amendments, Governor
Gage did not act on the advice of Attor-
ney General TREY l.. Ford. The only
consultation he had with his legal adviser
was over the telephone, and it was a short
one.
He asked his limits under the law, and
the Attorney General gave him these:
Mr.. Ford advised the Governor that he
could adopt one of two courses. He could
allow the claims and have them tested by
the Controller, and the Controller, by re-
fusing to sign the warrants for them,
could at once bring the matter before the
courts and there make it a question of
law.
DECLINING this course the Governor
could refuse to allow the claims and then
they would come before the Legislature
and would have to depend upon the de-
cision of that body for payment The
first was the strictly legal course The
latter was one involving purely questions
Of fact, and necessitating a fight before
the Legislature.
Personally, I was in favor of allowing
the claims to be passed by the Legisla-
ture," said the Attorney General tonight,
land then If the Controller refused to pass
them they could be fought out in the
courts.
II advised also another course which is
possible under the law. The Governor
may refuse to pass the claims, as a mem
Der of the Board of Examiners, thus COM
pelling separate bill to be introduced for
the advertising account of each paper.
did not advise the Governor to follow
either course. merely suggested the two
methods possible.
Soon after l spoke to the Governor
over the telephone, was called up by
Judge Post, my head deputy, who, in my
absence, acted as a member of the Board
of Examiners He asked my advice on
the matter and l gave him my authorities
and told him L would stand by any ac-
ton he might take. 1 should have been
in favor of testing the matter through
the Controller.
Il think it is the easier way and
shorter, but the case was out of my
hands when | outlined to the Governor
the courses open to him to pursue. So far
as the claims are concerned, | believe
those authorized by Governor Budd
should be paid, and l so advised the Gov
ernor, as that is a mere matter of con-
tract. They were ordered by the chief
executive and the amendments so directed
to be published were printed in good faith
by the newspapers. / think they were
valid contracts, and I advised the Cover
nor in the brief talk we had that he
should allow them.
L do not care to pass judgment on the
opinion touching this matter which was
rendered by my predecessor in Office"

BOLD BURGLARY

Thieves Loot a Cap
tain's Cabin.
MnMrv AMI IEMEI ny TAKEN
MONEY AND JEWELRY TAKEN
CRIME WELL PLANNED AND
BOLDLY EXECUTED.
The Police Are Notified and Efforts
Are Being Made to Apprehend
the Perpetrators of the
Robbery.

Captain James F. Sleeves of the Amer
lean ship James Drummond, reported at
the Harbor Police Station last evening
that his cabin had been entered by burg
lars, who got away with nearly SOU IN
coin and two bracelets valued at $3.50.
Two officers were Immediately detailed
to return to the ship with the Captain,
and brief investigation of the interior OF
the cabin disclosed undisputable evil
dences of the work of daring thieves
Despite the fact that there was watch
man on board at the time the burglars
got away with their plumber unseen, and
the robbery was not discovered until the
commander returned to his vessel from a
trip up town.
The thieves evidently had carefully
planned their visit, as they did not
go aboard until the crew had either lett
the ship or gone to bed. AS soon as the
Waterman had gone below on a tour or
inspection, they steathily sneaked up the
gangway and hid in a dark corner until
a favorable moment, when they entered
the cabin and perpetrated their crime.
The money is said to have been in SOW
ereigns and the stolen bracelets are de-
scribed as being Of Chinese workmanship
In their hurry to get away, the thieves
overlooked the captains barometer,
telltale compass and other articles used
in navigation.
The Drummond is anchored at Howard
pier No. 1. She arrived here on
the 18th of January, with a general cargo,
and after discharging will sail for Cork.

that it is a mastery document.
