HOTEL DEL MONTE IN FLAMES.
Fire Breaks Out In Picturesque Cali
foInia Resort.


Monterey, Cal, April 22.-That the
picturesque Hotel Del Monte was not
burned to the ground this evening was
due to the prompt and effective work
of the firemen. AS it was. the fire
gained so much Roadway before being
controlled that the complete destruc-
ton of the hotel was narrowly averted
The fire started in the rear of the
west annex, and Was ignited from
sparks from one of the chimneys fall
ing upon the roof. The high wind
which was blowing caught the sparks
and whirled them into the gable of the
roof, causing the flames to progress
downward very rapidly
Several rooms were Quilted, much
damage resulting before the hotel fire
brigade. aided by the Monterey fire
company, succeeded in subduing the
flames. For time it seemed as if the
building was doomed.
About 400 guests were in the hotel,
many occupying rooms in the wing
that took fire. Great excitement pre-
vailed, and guests threw their valua-
bles out of the windows. No injuries
to life or limb are yet reported.
At a late hour the fire was extin-
guished. but careful watch was kept
to prevent it breaking out again. The
amount of damage is not yet known
definitely. but will probably be in the
neighborhood of $4,000

the Anchor company at Park City has
arrived from Michigan, work on the
located at the mouth OF the Anchor
tunnel, viii be commenced in a few
days or as soon as the roads are in
condition to haul material on to the
ground. The erection of this plant
means much to the Anchor company,
for. aside from the saving made in do
ing away with hauling by wagon, the
mill itself viii be practically self-oper-
ating. The ore cars from the mine will
be discharged into the bins at the mill.
and a very few men viii be required to
keep it moving through the different
stages of concentration. The new mill
will have a capacity of at least 100 tons
daily. and when in good running order,
dividends ought to be in sight.

ing with a woman here and claimed her

woman for s., 600 This money has not
been paid over, however.

What Mr.. Croker Thinks.

What do you think should be the
main issue?" L asked Mr.. Croker.
Trusts was the reply. "A plat
form that has opposition to the trusts
for its chief point, and denumciation OF
mismanagementi in connection with the
war, ought to result in victory"
What do You think of Mr.. Bryan S
position?"
Mr.. Bryan is one of the ablest men.
and best speakers in the United States.
L am surprised that he should be 50
narrow. He is a bright enough man
to be able to see the folly of sticking
to the thing that beat him in 1896. Still
he made so much of it then that sup
pose he can't drop it now. He should
at least put it behind other issues that
have grown to far greater Importance
since then"

of determined efforts to prevent the
denomination to the presidency of Will
liam ]. Bryan, and some of those who
were his close friends and faithful
workers in the last campaign are now
numbered among his political enemies.
In Missouri and in various places in
the west, according to letters received
by prominent members of the Demo-
cratic club, Former Governor Stone is
bending every effort not only to pre-
vent the nomination of Bryan, but to
put himself into the front as the choice
OF the Democracy.
Campbell Would Lead.
In Ohio, James E. Campbell has
taken up the leadership that became
vacant when Calvin S. Brice died. m
mediately after the Cleveland election,
when the defeat of McKisson for the
mayoralty gave absolute proof that
Hanna, for revenge, because of McKis-
sons opposition to his election as SEN
ator, had split the Republican party.
Campbell hurried to his home and since
then has been busy planning for the
future.
He wants to be president, but first,
it is said, he wants to be governor of
Ohio again. 1t is his expectation that
if he shows that he can carry the state,
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency.
Mckinley Is His Game.
Mckinley defeated him for the gov
ernorship in 1894 His chief ambition is
to defeat Mckinley for a higher place.
Campbell has Tammany's favor. He is
a member of the Democratic club and
the friend of Richard Croker. He has
not fallen out with the state machine,
or what there is left of it, and is re-
garded by all the leaders as a strong
candidate. AS a campaigner he is said
to be one of the greatest in the coun-
try.
Speaking of him not long ago, Colo
mel Dick" Bright, for more than thirty
years sergeant-at-arms of the senate,
said:
Il have known in my time three great
campaigners. The first was Lincoln.

Harrison In the Field.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago is con-
ceded by the anti-Bryan men of the
east to be with them in their opposi-
ton to the nomination of Bryan and
they favor him for the second place or
the ticket. In the south a. dozen meE
are trying to prevent the sending of del
egations to the convention for Bryan
and the arguments they are using are
the same that are being applied in the
east, the chief of these being that it is
not good politics to nominate a defeated
candidate on the same platform that
was the cause of his defeat. Everything
that is being done in this state has in
view the arrangement of matters so

ARIZONA TEACHERS.

The Arizona Teachers Association
will hold it's regular annual session IN
Tucson commencing on Tuesday, De-
cember, 26 and lasting till Saturday,
December 80. In connection with it
will be held the joint county institute.
Professor A. J. Matthews, princi-
pal of the Prescott public schools, re-
turned yesterday morning from visit
to Phoenix, where he went to meet
and confer with Professor J D. Loper,
of Mesa City, and J. T. Hughes, of
Tucson. The former is principal of
the Mesa school and treasurer Of the
association, and the latter is county
school superintendent of Pima county,
The meeting of these three educators
and officer of the association was for
the purpose of completing arrange
ments for the above meeting.
They succeeded in obtaining from
all railroads north of Phoenix rate
of one fare for the round trip for all
who desire to attend the session, and
from Phoenix to Tucson rate for
the round trip of not to exceed $5
and probably less rate was assured.
To avoid the night ride on the regu-
lar train from Phoenix, special train
will be run, which will leave Phoenix
on Christmas morning and arrive in
Tucson in the evening
Tucson is making great preparations
for the reception and entertainment of
the teachers. AS Yavapai county
teachers held their institute at the

be deprived of rrcciY;ng their salaries
while attending this meeting but all
other teachers of the territory who
attend will be allowed their salary the
same as though they should teach

OF the Grazing Lands; Leasing the
Only Solution.
tive stage.

OF the Grazing Lands; Leasing the
Only Solution.
The question of the proper solution
of the grazing land problem formed an
important part of the deliberation Of
the recent National Irrigation Con-
gress. The frequent controversies
and fights in different sections in the
west have called attention TO the pre-
sent overstocking of many western
ranges and the necessity for some
ssadlcal change liz the administration
of the public land laws.
The Irrigation Congress strongly
supported the policy 'hae the national
government should allow the states
and territories to lease their public
grazing lands, snbjeat ta actual set
Element by home-builders, the title,
however, to remain liz the federal gov
ernment. At small annual rental of
from two to five cents per acre fer
these lands, the states would secure a
large annual revenue which could be
devoted to the gradual development
of irrigation works. This proposal to
lease the public lands is not new and
untried scheme. Large areas of west
ern lands are now being satisfactorily
leased to stockmeu, and where the
practice is in operation the stockmen
themselves, both cattle and sheepmen
are firm sYpporteps of the policy. The
great trunk railroads are leasing their
lands, and the state of Montana this
year will SECURE a revenue of 100000
from the lease of ITS school lands,
stockmen. gladly paying the rental
charged ty"the state, which gives them
the exclusive use of land, rather than
to Craze their stock on the free public
range
