Fire.

This committee met with Chief Cline
and City Engineer White. Bills to the
aggregate of s442.12 were recommended
for payment.
A resolution was adopted ordering
new wheels for the chemical engine,
and another to purchase gum boots for
the force at a cost not to exceed SS5.
Chief Cline presented a report, In
which he recommended that the old
style fire boxes in the department be
traded in for mountaineering boxes,
the object being to prevent a mix-up
when two or more boxes are pulled at
once. The Chief also called forcible at
tention to the importance of citizens
turning in alarms remaining at the box
to direct firemen where to go. This is
always important in cases Of what are
termed "inside fires," and is equally
important in many other cases on foggy
nights.

New York, Nov. 29.-The Journals

''The German emperor is about to

cal operation.
"This is the reason why he is now

manifests itself chiefly in a profusc
discharge which compels him TO keep
his right ear swathed in cotton. AS
long as the discharge continues the
emperor's health is fairly good, but
when it remains suppressed for con-
siderable time, the pain causes him to
become violent and half-distraugh
The emperer's illness belongs to "a

THE dcsirability of undergoing the

affection existing between the emper-

and Mules.

Storm Encountered on Cape Flat.

ally Pounded to Death
--Others will Die.

Seattle, Nov. 29.-With cargo
of dying horses and mules and fifty
five empty stalls the United States
transport Victoria returned to port
late last night. She was forced by an
unprecedented stress of weather off
Cape Flattery to turn back from her
voyage to the Philippines. OF the 40
horses and mules carried by the Vic
toria, taken on board November %,
tiftytive were literally pounded to
death against the sides of their stalls
in the storm and the remaining ami
mails are so badly bruised that the Off
Gals of the vessel believe that many
cannot be saved. The Victoria sailed
for the Philippines November %. AS
the straits We're neared u high and
dangerous sea was encountered and
the ship pitched and rolled heavily,
shipping seas fore and aft. The stress
of weather increased as the Victoria
advanced toward the open ocean. On
the morning of November 81 the YES
sci Vas just outside the straits with
her head to the wind. At o'clock she
was tossing on Il crest of waves de-
scribed in the log as mountain-high

binding mist. The transport labored
heavily during the night and early
next morning steamed away to the
west, but began to roll so dangerously
that her head was again brought
around to the wind. This day was IL
repetition of the preceding one, with
the addition of terrific squalls. The
rolling and pitching of the ship now
began to have it's effect upon the ami
mails confined in their stalls. They
had been pounded from side to side
until they were in state of eNhaus-
ton. Several died during the night
and next morning, and the constant
attention of Veterinary Surgeon
Payne and stock hands seemed power
less to save them. Under such cir
cumstances it was deemed best, after
consultation between Captain Michaels
and his officers, to return to Seattle.
During the trip in several more horses
died, bringing the number up to fifty
five. The bodies of the animals We're
weighted and thrown overheard.
Purser Lockwood was seen today and
said that during thirty-siN voyages he
made across the Pacific he had never
seen such Il stress of weather as en-
countered by the Victoria. The
furthest point reached was 200 miles
west oil the cape. While the storm was
at it's height the oil bags We're entirely
empticd and everything was done to
ease the motion of the ship. Aside
from the loss OF animals no other dam
age was done, the Victoria behaving
splcndidly.

Pockets in the Stocking

New York letter: Stocking pockets
are the latest fad, says Il dry goods
man. They are MADE to hold Il roll of
bills, icwelry aud Nalliab!es that can
be stored away in Il small! space. The
pockets are worked into the top OF
the hose, above the knee, and are
made with a fastening so that there is
no danger OF their contents falling
out. There are so masy sneak thievs.;
who steal from bed rooms while the
family is at dinner. from carriages
and from other places where women
are obliged to leave their money and
iewelry when they are not in use. that
some safe receptacle about the cloth
ing of the owner is an absolute neces-
sity. Pockets are not generally found
in women's dresses, and the stocking
pocket has suggested itself TO some
inventive genius. 1t looks as ii thest
new pockets would be as safe as any
that could be devised.

bitterer pangs caused by a separation
from those he loved best, rather than
appeal to those who would have
helped him had they known of his ne

Sergeant Anthony's suicide has sug-

OF providing a fund to be expended in

Jesse w. Seligman has started such
a fund with a subscription of $1,000.
