BIG FIRE All DAWSON CITY.
Loss of a Million Dollars Caused by a
Drunken woman UpsettinG a Lamp

Especial to The Baltimore SUM
Victoria, B. c., May 21.-Sunday.-
news has just been received here that
the main part of Dawson City, Yukon
territory, was destroyed by fire April
26th, causing a loss of 81, 600, 900. In
all III buildings, including the Bank
Of British North America, were burned.
The fire occurred in the city's bust
ness centre, beginning nea the opera
house on the water front. 1t vas driven
rapidly by a strong north wind, des-
crossed the street, burned through and
spread over to the second street. Ev-
cry building that was touched by the
fire burned like finder, as the logs were
dry as powder. The fire spread so rap
idly that the people were panic-strick-
en- and unable to saw anything.
Among prominent concerns burned
out were the Royal Cafe, DOnohue &
Smith, Mcclellan & McFeely, the Par
sons Produce Company, the Madden
House, Hotel Victoria, Mcdonald block
and the Bank of British North Amer
lea.
The fire came at a time when mills
and dealers in building materials had
exhausted their supplies and were wait
ing Tile Op6LluS vi 10 re-
plenish them. The result is a famine"
in all kinds Of building material and
furniture. Doors are selling for $35
each, door locks IS each and other ar
ticles in proportion.
The fire was caused by a drunken
woman upsetting a lamp. There is no
shortage of provisions.
(By Associated Press.)
Victoria, B.. c., May 22.-No further
details of the Dawson fire have been
received. The only accident known to
have occurred befell a fireman who
was severely hurt about the head by
a blazing log which was blown from
a burning building. 1t is stated that
the woman who upset the lamp which
caused the catastrophe and other oc-
cupants of the house ave been arrest
ed and may be severely dealt with.
Riley, Toklas and Hume, the men
who brought out the news Of the fire,
are reported to lave collected hun
dreds and even thousands of dollars
as private mail carriers for the prompt
delivery of the communications of
which they Were bearers. One Of these
was addressed TO the inspector of the
Bank Of British North America and
considerably reduces the amount Of
the banks loss by the fire. 1t is under
stood that the record of the bank
notes consumed was destroyed with
1hern. but il is nevertheless quite pos
sible that this Will not mean lost

The Bond OF Nick PolftZ Increased.
Walter silvia Out on !
Ounce Bound over.

o Ounce, colored, who was arrest
ed on Saturday on a warrant charging
him with making and passing counter
felt money, was brought before United
States Commissioner S. p. Collier, at Il
o'clock yesterday morning, for a pre-
liminary hearing. AT his request the
hearing was continued till 4 p. m, TO
allow him TO secure counsel and sum-
mon witnesses. He was committed TO
jail and was again brought before Com
missioner Collier at 4 p. m. He was
unable to secure counsel and had not
summoned his Witnesses. The exam
ination was then proceeded with. Ounce
was informed that he was indicted for
making and passing counterfeit money,
and was asked how he would plead.
He pleaded not guilty.
Mr.. T. j. Gore was then sworn as a
witness for the. government. He tes-
tihed that Ounce came into his store
and frequently played the nickel in the
slot machine. He found that some
body was beating the machine with
counterfeit nickels and led slugs. On
one occasion he caught Ounce playing
cad slugs into the machine. He con-
fessed to M. Gore tina he had made
the slugs to eat the machine, but was
made to return money that he mad thus
gotten with the slugs and promised not
to play them any more. Mr.. Gore
showed a number of counterfeit five
cent pieces and slugs but could not
testify whether Ounce eve played
anything but the Slugs.
Ex-Deputy Sheriff William Guion,
colored, testified that he was a porter
at Mr.. Cores store, when Ounce was
caught at his trick of beating the ma
chine, and he testified to about the
same facts as Mr.. Gore.
After hearing the two witnesses,
COMMISSIONS Collier bound Ounce
over in a justified bond Of 81, 900 to an
pear for trial at the mex term of the
United States court, which convenes
here June 9Th. He failed to give bond
and was sent to Jail. On the way to
jan the prisoner was taken to Mr..
Cr~onenberg's photograph gallery and
his picture was taken for the govern
ment.
While the hearing in Ounces case
was going on, Walter Silva was brought
befor" Commissioner Collier, and was
accompanied by his ounsel George
Rountree, Esq, and Marsden Bellamy.
Esq. They gave bono for Silvia in the
sum of $500. with the accused's father,
Mr.: Joseph Silvia, as surety. He justi-
lied the sum of $500.
Upon being acquainted with the ma
ture OF the case against Nicholas Po-
ntz, Judge Purnell, of the United
states district court, telegraphed on
sunday and instructed Commissioner
Collier to increase Polit's bond from
$4,000 to 5000. Judge Purnell regards
the case as a very important one. as
the accused will be indicted under two
counts-making counterfeit money and
having counterfeit money in his keep
ing. The term of imprisonment is ten
years on each count, making twenty
years as the possible punishment, hence
Judge order to increase the
bond.

xoRTHEaN PREsBYrERIANs
Attitude Of Cofored Delegates from ihe
south In the General Assembly.
Question of Soufhern Outra.es

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 22.-Before
tn Presbyterian general assembly to-
day Rev. w. H. Franklin. a colored
minister Of Rogervirle, Tenn. read an
excerp from a local paper which said
that no coiored member of the assem-
bly, had yet spoken in the debates on
account of the fear inspired by the re-
cent outrages in the south. not know
ing but they might be held 10 pain

Franklin stated that the article was
without foundation and that in justice
10 the colored members OF the as
sembly and the people Of p~resbyteries
Which had returned colored commits
~sioners, there should be a public de-
MIA.
Franklin explained that in the pres
b yteries of Holston and F~renchbroad.
from which he comes, there are twenty
-four white and hve colored ministers
and 5000 white and 1000 colored COM
municants, yet his overwhelming
white majority had sent him as one OF
the two ministers to represent them.
He then offered resolutions ~refuting
tn published statement and explain
ing that the colored commissioners
We're not restrained from debate be-
cause Oh leaf
Synodical committees were announc-
ed and the report of the committee on
freedmen vas read. d.
Afr the report, which was highly
congratulatcry to the freedmens' board
even though it had ended the year $40
600 in debt instead Of free from debt,
as the other boards are, the roll was
called on the apportionment of funds
to pc raised to cancel the debt. Some
Of no WaTa assessed naar r
iy 50, 900.
The freedmen report would have
been adopted without delay had it not
been for one section of it, which refers
to The recent lynchings and outrages
in he south. The case of the negro is
spoken Of as one that appeals TO us
with imperiouS insistence because of
the malefic prejudice and barbara caste
spirit that are today devising new tor
tur-s for the negroes body and new
terrOrs for his sou. We join heartily
with OUT fellow citizens and fellow
Christians of the south in horror Of
these dreadful manifestations"
One commissioner expressed a fear
thai while it was indisputable tina the
committee had mentioned nothing but
well known facts in referring to the
Outrages, it might be wise to let that
portion Of the report so out as the pro-
nouncement of the assembly until it
had been debated. 1t might be unwisa
to AXE any notice of the outrages for
fear of a~ggravating race and sectional
differences. The question was taken up
later as a special order.
Rev. Graham c. Campbell, of Burke
vile, Va, warned Presbyterians against
giving money to Booker Washington.
He said Washington was doing a
grand work; but who would carry it
on. he asked, after Washington had
gone? In many regions it had been
found hat Washington's young men
had taken from Presbyterians all their
money for the freedmen's board. The
board could spend the honey to just
as good advantage as Washington, and
was a perpetual organization.

Different committees 10 ucet-Wftd
Rumors Of fstss Recommendations
White Interview ed.

The Hague, May 22.-The disarma-
ment committee of the peace conference
meets at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. the
meets during the Afternoon OF the same
day, and III committe on arbitration
meets on Wednesday.
The chiefs of the delegations have
had frequent conferences with the view
| OF arriving at ane agreement in regard
TO the choice Of officers Of the commit
tees. but. apparently, many difficulties
have arisen, as nothing has been finally
settled.
Many false and exaggerated reports
nave been circulated regarding these
bitches. For instance. it has been said
that Count Won Munster. the German
ambassador at Paris and head OF the
German delegation. would withdraw
from the conference. Such stories must
be received with caution, as persons
hostile To the aims OF the conference
have beer busily engaged in spreading
distrust.
Andrew d. White, the United States
ambassador at Berlin and head OF the
American delegation. in an interview
here with a representative OF the AS
ISOLATED Press said he regarded the sit
uation as promising and that the first
work of organization vas we'll done,
He added:
Il am hopeful that it will be posi-
bic TO reach practical conclusions. The
skepticism of the first few days must
yield to serious hopes without, at the
same time, INDUCING in exaggerated
expectations.
THE words of Emperor William have
contributed to improve the situation. 1
think We may arrive at some result on
the subject Of mediation and arbitra-
ton. Although il is undoubtedly i'm
possible to make sue action obliga-
tory, it can be rendered at least OPP
tional. That will be immense advance.
Il am also confident that important
improvements are achievable in the
laws and usages Of war. Relative to the
reduction of ornaments. I am not in
a position to speak on the subject"
Other ambassadors interviewed ex-
pressed similar views. They seemed
convinced, however, that numerous
difficulties of detail would arise in the
various committees and the conference
would be p~rotracted.

A movement is now on foot, which
If successful. and 1t certainly should
be, will add greatly to the attractions
of Wilmington. It is proposed il a
stock company can be organized. TO es-
tablish a first class park that will be
an ornamen TO the city. The move
ment has so far progressed that plans
of the park have been drawn and land
donated for the purpose.
It is proposed to locate the park on
fifty acres Of land in the vicinity of the
first toll house, the entrance being
from Seventeenth and Market streets.
Rare flowers and handsome shrubbery
will be planted in the park and there
is TO be a fine bicycle race track, ball
diamond, tennis court, football, grid
iron, croquet grounds, swimming pool.
etc,
The park will be free TO all, except
on certain days when athletic tourna-
ments will be held and a small admis-
sion fee charged.
OF course, the park will have a sup
erintendent and it will be governed by
a president, secretary and treasurer,
and a board of managers. The num-
Der of shares of stock necessary 10 get
the park has been estimated at 400 at
$50 per share.
