SWEPT BY FIRE.
100000 Mt Dawson City, AIaskn-
buildings Burned Number III.

Victoria, B. c., May 22.-The main
portion of the city of Dawson was de-
stroyed by fire on April %, causing a
loss of $4,OO0,0OO. In all III buildings,
Including the Bank of British North
America, were burned. The news was
brought down by l.. S. Hume, son of
Mayor Hume, of Seattle; j. Toklas and
4 third party who left Dawson on April
27 and made their way out by canoe to
Lake Lebarge and then over the ice,
having most perilous trip.
The fire consumed everything from
Timmons' Royal cafe down to opposite
the Fairview hotel, this building be-
ing as dry as tinder. The flames spread
with such rapidity that the citizens ap-
peared panic stricken and unable to
save anything in the way of furniture,
goods and clothing. The fire was caused
by drunken woman upsetting a lamp
in notorious house.
The fire came at time when the mills
and dealers in building materials had
depleted their winter supplies, and
were waiting the opening of navigation
to replenish their stock. The result is
a famine in all kinds of building ma
terial and furniture, such as sashes,
doors, locks, hinges, etc. The few ar
ticles still remaining outside of the
burned district have quadrupled in
prices. Doors are selling for $35 each,
door locks, eight dollars each, and
everything else in proportion. Nothing
in the way of rebuilding can be done
until the opening of navigation, several
weeks from now, as there is not over
1900 feet of lumber in the place.

the gold will be recovered, for before
the ashes had time to cool the manager
of the bank secured miners to search
them.

PARIS ON THE ROCKS.
Liner Goes on the MnnncIes
on the Cornwall Coast - PRs-
sengers and Crew All Right.

Falmouth, May 22.-The American
line steamer Paris, Capt. Watkins, from
Southampton and Cherbourg for New
York, struck on an outlying ridge of
the Manacles early Sunday morning at
a point half a mile from where the
wrecked Atlantic transport liner Mo-
hegan lies, and five miles from Falmouth.
The Paris,which sailed from Southamp-
ton Saturday, called at Cherbourg and
picked up so passengers. She left Cher
bourg at six o'clock Saturday evening.
Soon after one o'clock Sunday morning,
at high tide and in dense fog, she ran
ashore. From the first there was no
danger. Lifeboats and tugs were soon
literally swarming around the vessel to
render assistance. A majority of the
passengers, who numbered $780, were
brought to Falmouth. whererthey OBJ
tained lodgings fer the night. Capt.
Watkins reported that his ship was ly-
ing comfortably in smooth water and
that there was no occasion for any
alarmist reports. He reported the pas
sengers and crew all well.
1t is said that Falmouth pilot boat
a
telling the captain that he would put
the vessel on top of the Mohegan if he
did not alter the course of the ship.
The warning, however, came too late,
and the Paris struck on ridge to the
westward of the Manacles. 1t is sug-
gested that as this is only their sec
ond trip from Cherbourg the officers
of the Paris were not familiar with the
course. The crew of the Paris is still
aboard the vessel. 1t is believed that
the steamer has a large rent in her bot
tom in the forward part of the ship.
Tugs are standing by her and will as
sist in an effort to get her off the rocks.

from Queenstown. The Paris was rechris-
tened the Yale when impressed into the
service of the United States navy during
the recent war with Spain. on her last
regular trip before she entered the service
of the United States there was considerable
anxiety lest she might be captured by
| Spanish warships, but Capt. Watkins re-
ported when he reached New York that no
Spanish vessels had been seen during the
trip. Her welcome was a very generous
one when she arrived, as her cargo con-
sisted mainly Of guns and ammunition. AS
| soon as the vessel was unloaded Capt.
Watkins and crew, 375 men all told, signed
| contracts for war service and she was
| turned over to the navy department. Dur
| ing the war she was commanded by Capt.
| Wise and captured the Rita, a blockade
runner, and did especial service as a trans

M. DUssAND, a French scientist,
formulates the theory that if phono-
graphs were made larger they would
repeat the sounds more loudly. He
says that-the longer the furrow in the
wax, the louder the sound, and he has
constructed a phonograph with cyl
inder of increased size that revolves
with correspondingly greater rapidity,
in order to obtain this result. In an
experiment, an ordinary instrument
was made to repeat sounds into the
new one; on making ths larger phono-
graph emit the sounds, they were
found to be much louder than the orig
inal. instead Of fainter.

THE use of barbed wire is increasing
largely in Southern Italy. 1t is used
for trailing vines, and is found of great
service in keeping thieves out of the
vineyards after dark. The vines be-
ing in many cases only a few feet apart,
it is matter of considerable difficulty
to avoid the barbs, even in the day
time, and at night it is practically inn
possible. The wire need be only of
the lightest kind, as the lengths used
are comparatively short and no cattle
have to be contended with.
