Six Lives Lost and the Total Destruction
of store Building and the Stock of
Goods-Financial Loss SI5O,OOO.

YUMA, Ariz., Aug. 3L-The most dis
astrous fire in the history of Yuma
broke out at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning in the second-story of the E.
F. Sanginetti's merchandise store, re-
sulting in the loss of six lives and a
total destruction of the store building
and stock of goods. The fire depart
ment, which responded promptly, was
unable to cope with the flames, owing
TO the lack of apparatus. A crowd of
men were carrying goods from the
building when the second floor fell
upon them, killing SIX and more or less
injuring many more. The loss is esti-
mated at $3.50, 600; insurance $50, OOO.'

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 30.-Nelson
b. Clarke, of Boston, who has lust ar
rived here from Santo Domingo, con-
firms the recent *dvices as to the situ-
alton OF affairs in that repu bic but he
adds that the revolution is so essen
tally national and devoid of personal
political element that the adherents of
Jiminez are advising him not to come
to Santo Domingo for the present.
What the people are clamorlng for is
not mere change in the political per-
sonnet, but good government, with
financial solvencye with which they
associate the idea of American annex
alton or protectorate. This, Mr.. Clark
adds is the sole present object of the
revolution and the industrial and COM
mercial conditions are such that the
entire nation indorses the annexation
scheme as the only real solution. The
government censorship prevents corre-
spondents from cabling the truth and
the same applies to Hayti which sym.
pathetically desires the suppression OF
the revolution.
CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, Aug. 3d.
News has reached here from Santo
Domingo, confirming the report of the
defeat by the revolutionists on Gen.
Peppin in command of a government
force who lost 80 men killed and h ad
40 of his soldiers captured. In addi-
ton, Gen. Peppin was compelled to
abandon convoy of provisions.
Further fighting has taken place
near Monte Christie between the revo-
lutionists under Gen. Davarro and the
government troops commanded by Gen.
Guelito. Details of this engagement
have not reached here.

ing attorney OF Ogemaw county. Last
Saturday her counsel, ex-Chief Justice
Allan B.Morse filed his brief. After stat.
ing the fact of her election and qualif-
cation, he says:
Nov comes the attorney general Of
this state and says that she is an usur-
per, and cannot hold the office. What is
the reason given? Does the constitution
OF the United States or the State of
Michigan prohibit her from exercising
her duties? No. Does any law OF the
state prevent her? No. Was there any
irregularity in her election, or has che
failed properly to qualifyy No. Is
there any legal or moral reason why her
election should be declared void. or
affecting her right to hold the office?
No.
There is only one reason assigned and
that is: God made her woman instead
Of man. This might have been good
reason in the dark ages OF the law when
women were little better than serfs,
but in the light of our day. and in our
state, where women are now equal before
the law. not only in personal and prop
erty rights; but in all the essentials OF
freedom, it has no foundation in COM
mon sense, justice or law
Does Mrs. Abbott require an enabling
act from the legislature Of the state to
practice her chosen profession? Can
she defend man for murder, but not
prosecute him for stealing whip?
When she was admitted to the bar Of
this state. when she received the certiA.
cate to practice law in all the courts of
this state, she was the equal OF any man
in her profession. She was given the
same rights and privileges.
Is this quality to be destroyed because
the Legislature has not said In plain en-
actment that she can hold the Office OF
prosecuting attorney, whose chief, il not
only, duties are those connected with
the practice OF the law? This seems to
be the contention of the attorney geu.
