A LOS ANGELES FIRE
A Block Worth a Quarter of
 a Million Gone.
The Blaze Was Attended by Prob ably Two Fatalities. Other Casualties Incidental 10 inc Coc-
 flagrafiOn.

Los Angeles, Sept. 1S.- Practically the entire block bounded by Ccmmer- cial, Alameda and Wilmington streets, was destroyed by fire this afternoon. The buildings destroyed were those of the Los Angeies Farming and Milling company, the Perry Mill and Lumber company, J. F. Holbrook's Pipe works, and several small dwellings. Three men were injured, two of them proib- ably fatally. James M. Dieter, en- gineer of the Perry Lumber company, and George Kn3iwlton, his assistant, were probably fatally burned, and H. B. Tebbets was overcome by heat.

 James Martin and two other men in St. Louis found mutilated currency to the amount of 8 $50. They sent it to the treasury fer redemption, but following precedent, it was con1scated by the government, awaiting the claim of the rightful owners.
 In reviewing the case, MT. TracewelI says that he does not believe that Controllers Lawrence and Bowler had any power to render decisions declar- ing that the finder Is not entitled to the money. MT. TIacewelI then points out many decisions Of state courts holding that the finder of money is en- titled to it if the owner cannot be

The Last Call is Being Most
 NObly Met.
ADMINISTRATION GRATIFIED
More Than One Third of inc Last Ten Regiments Already Filled. The South. Where Anfi-Ex- Dansion Idea Was Supposed to Be inc Strongest, Coming to inc Front

WashfngJ-n, Sept. 1S.-The admins tration is very gratified at the pro gress made in recruiting the ten regi- war department, and the president himself, had feared that the wall of the Atkinson elemeLft might have put a damper upon the enthusiasm of the young men of the country.
 But such is not the case In fact, the enlistments SC far f-r these ten regiments are greater in proportion than they were for the previous call.
 More than a third of the required number have already enlisted, and but for the orders sent to the recruiting officers, to be very strict in the medi- cal examinations, almost the entire number would have been enlisted.
 This fact is exceedingly gratifying to the president, fer he secs in this en- thusiasm a general and widespread in dcrsement of the administration policy.
 General Corbin said this morning that even in the south, where the arti-Philippine propaganda was most active, the enlistments had been sur prisingly large and in keeping with the rest of the country Especially was this true of Georgia, Texas and Alabama. Texas is second in enlist ments. Georgia and Alabama rank with Illinois
 The work cf enlisting the tive, color ed regiments will proceed with haste, for the eligible young negroes Of the south show great anxiety to make for their race a good record in the Philip pine war.

Senator PenrOse Thinks the
 Probabilities are Strong,
THE ADVERSE PRECEDENTS
VII Not Be Made fo Apply In inc Pennsylvania Case. Quay Is Not Stranger al inc Door and Then He Is Badly Needed on fhe Inside 10 Assist the Admini- SfraffOn

Washington, Sept 1S.-Senator Pen
 rose of Pennsylvania denies the pub
 lished statement that he has advised
 Senator Quay that the chances were
 unfavorable for the latter being seated
 by the senate on Governor Stones cer-
 tificate of appointment.
 "I have not made such statement
 to my colleague said Senator Penrose
 to a reporter today. 'On the contrary, believe that the prospect is very fla Vorable for Senator Quay being seatsd
 by the senate. I have not made any canvass of the matter. but it is my belief based upon what l know of sen ators' views of the o2sa,''
 In political circles the belief is gen. eral that Senator Quay will be seated. Of course, there is the adverse prece- dent in the Montana and Wyoming cases, which those who are opposed to Quay will endeavor to apply, but it is not impossible fer the senate to re- verse itself.
 Furthermore, it is pointed out by Senator Quay's friends, there are some circumstances in this case which may be expected to operate in Senator Quay's favor. There has recently been a state convention in Pennsylvania which indorssd Senator Quay in un- mistakable terms and urged his seat ing by the senate. This convention demonstrated the fact that Senator Quay has the complete mastery of the republican party in Pennsylvania. The delegates to the convention were elect cd by his supporters. The slate which he selected was confirmed by the con Vention. He himself was delegate elected from his-ewn- eeaRty. and from start to finish the convention was a complete apothsosTs of Quay. This fact will be cited to the United States senate to prove that Senator Quay is the ch5ice of the republicans of his state and that they demand that he shall be seated upon the appointment of the governor.
 Another element in the situation fa- vorable to Quay is the fact that he has been a United States senator for many years and has established strong personal ties in the senate. He is not a stranger knocking at the door with an equivocal letter of introduction, but he can walk into the senate when it is in session and salute friends on both sides of the chamber. The personal equation is a. strong one in the senate as every one knows, and Senator Quay's friends are backing it heavily in this instance.
 These who argue that he will be seated call attention to his alliance with the administration. Senators to the administration will be needed in the senate at the outset Senator Quay's convention tied him onto the administration band wagon very neatly by unqualifiedly indorsing him and the administration in the same breath, thus not only fixing Quay's position in Washington, but also shrewdtly serving notice upon some republicans in Pennsylvania to keep hands of of this friend Of the ad-

found This was the case in decisions involving a servant in a hotel in Illinois, an employe in a paper mill in another state and elsewhere.
 MT. TIacewell concludes by declar- ing that a government officer has no right to retain money under the cir cumstances.
 It is net known what effect the de- cision will have, as the treasury has fer many years followed another GUS tom, and is not now bound by the de- cision
