and went to her rooming house in

Moore angrily demanded his pictures
she ran back into the house. Moore
sent d bullet into her back, and the
woman ran screaming through the
house. In Mrs. Landis' room she APP
pealed for help. This further enraged
Moore, and he fired two shots at Mrs.
Landis, one taking effect in the alb
domen. On into another room Moore
followed the Campbell woman. Mrs.
Meek, awakened by the shots, arose
from bed just as Moore entered her
room. Without moments warning
he opened fire upon her, one shot pierre
ing her back.

revolver at a crowd that followed. He
shot at a negro, but missed his mark

a policeman.

Were Dry Powder.
The fire consumed everything from
the Simmons Royal cafe down to and
opposite the Fairview hotel. All the
buildings burned like tinder, due to
the fact that they had been standing
for nearly two years and the logs
were as dry as powder. The fire spread
with such rapidity that the people
were unable to save anything in the
way of furniture, goods or clothing, so
that the losses when footed up promise
to be even greater than at first esti-
mated.
Prominent Firms Burned Out.
Among the prominent firms burned
out were:
The Royal cafe, Donahue & Smith,
Mcclellan & Merely, Parsons Produce
Co., Aurora saloon, Bodega saloon,
Madmen house, Hotel Victoria, McDon-
aid block, Bank of British North Amer

business houses.

The fire came at a time when the
mills and dealers in building materials
had exhausted their winter supply and
were waiting the opening of naviga-

suits are that there is a famine in all
kinds of building materials and furni-

Gen. Otis Dispatch.
Following is Gen. Otis cablegram:
''Manila, May 1S.-AdJu tant General,
Washington: Representa- tive of the
insurgent cabinet and Aguinaldo, in
the mountains, IL miles north San
Isidro, which was abandoned on the
18th inst, will send a commission to-
morrow and seek terms of peace.
1.-THE MAJORITY of the force confornt
ing Macarthur, at San Fernando, has
retired to Tarlac, tearing up two
miles of railway. This force has de-
creased to about $500. Scouting par
ties and detachments are moving to-
day in various directions. Kobbe, with
his column, is at Candava, on the Rio
Grande. a great majority CT the in
habitants of the provinces over which
the troops have moved are anxious for
peace, supported by members of the
insurgent cabinet. The aspect of af-
fairs at present is favorable"
Satisfaction Among officials.
Great satisfaction was expressed by
war department officials with the
news contained in the dispatch of Gen.
Otis. The belief was expressed that
the end of the insurrection was at
hand. The wisdom of refusing any
terms to the first commission, and in
pressing the insurgents, is everywhere
commended. On this account, no
doubt is expressed that the new COM
mission, which is on its way to Ma
Mia, will be ready to accept the ia
vorable terms which Gen. Otis has
been ready to grant upon the actua.
surrender and cessation of hostili-
ties.
The President Informed.
The dispatch of Gen. Otis was i'm
mediately sent to the president, at
Hot Springs, Va. Secretary Alger said
tI.at the situation was most encourag-
ing, and that it was apparent that the
FIlipinos realized the strength of the
United States, and saw that resistance
would mean determination for them
if they persisted in defying authority.
Speaking of the part taken by the
volunteers in the Philippine cam
paign, the secretary says that instead
of wishing to be home, they would not
have missed it, as it was an event in
their lives, especially rs the hard fight
ing has been crowned with success.
The secretary believes that the COM
mission which Aguinaldo is sending to
Gen. Otis will accept any terms pro-
posed by the United States.
Probabilities Discussed.
1t is not likely that Gen. Otis will
permit himself to be deceived by the
overtures of the insurgents, or that
he will give consideration to any prop
ositions which the present commission
may submit that are not sincere anG
final beyond question. 1t is not clear
to the officials here what concessions
Aguinaldo expects to receive, mas

ANYTHING TO GET OFFICE.
RENO, New, NoUeWbet /, 1905,

KENO, New, NoOs1Hbet I, 1898.
HON. F. G.. NEWLANDS, Reno, New:
SIR: If | or any other gentleman in
have with regard to the various nomina-
tons for Congress which you have re-
ceived and prevented, l would be de-
nounced as a trickster, but l refrain
from using any such term with refer
nee to yourself.
You obtained the nomination of the
Silver party to which you profess to be-
long and pledged yourself to stand by
the principles of that party and the
pledges contained in the platform not
withstanding your letter to Secretary
Gage. Your friends, Mr.. Joe Ryan, John
Dennis, and perhaps another, gave you
the committee nomination of the Demo-
cratic party for Congress. Of course you
were bound after accepting that nomi-
nation to comply with its platform and
pay the charges required for conducting
the campaign. In accepting the nomi-
nation for Congress of the Silver party
you Endorsed the platform which is
highly eulogistic of Senator Stewart,
~recounting his faithful services in the
Senate and pledging you to support him
and every other nominee on the Silver
party ticket. In accepting the nomina-
ton on the Democratic platform you
were equally pledged to support the
principles of that party platform which
denounced Senator Stewart as a non.
resident, as having accomplished moth
ing for the state, and by implication
pledged yourself to support every no1ni-
nee on the Democratic ticket. You in
dorsed the denunciation of Senator
resident when you knew full we'll that
at the time you came to the state of
Nevada he was in the Senate at Wash.
ington and you rented his house to ac-
quire a residence and run for Congress.
The Silver party platform and the
Democratic party platform made silver
hAS toioLloohA lSSbN, ia YOU WCIS lloi
satisfied with two nominations. From
the best information o~btainable be.
lieve and charge that you manipulated
the Republican convention and pre-.
vented the nomination of a member Of
Congress, and that the Republican
nominee for governor, Mr.. Mcmillan
assisted you in the scheme and declared
before the caucus of his party that he
would not run for governor if the party
nominated a candidate for Congress.
In view of the foregoing, is it unfair
to presume that you have also Endorsed
the Republican platform? The peopl.
would like to know if there is any plat
form e~mbodying any principle that 20,
would not indorse if by that means yo,
could get Office?
Yours, truly,

Newlands virtually admits that his
game was to pretend to be for Stewart
until after the election, so that he could
be elected to Congress, and then steal
into the Senate against Stewart by a
liberal use of the weapons of the flor
tunate class" to which he says he be-
longs.

ing an agreement that Newlands should
go to Congress by Stewards help, and
then be free to fight for Stewards place
in the Senate by merely asserting that
he thought Stewart was beaten.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-12

Newlands enters the race for the Sen
ate under the pretense that Stewart has
not a majority of the legislature. This
is a false p%retense made for the sole pur-
pose of breaking the fall from his
former claims to responsibility.
