their great sorrow, that w. F. Lucas
had received stroke of paralysis, and
fears were entertained for his recovery
Five days later almost to.a minute, he
was affected with second stroke.

had past aud his life was only Q ques-
ton Of days. On Sunday evening
when the sun shown golden oe'r the

SMALL FIRE LAST NIGHT
Explosion Of Lamp Causes Blaze m
 sixth ,venue sporting House.

The explosion of lamp In one of the rooms over La Fiesta cigar store, on Sixth avenue, occupied as sporting house, last night created blaze that for a time was threatening. As it was, the entire second story of the building was gutted, though the rooms below, occupied by La Fiesta cigar store and saloon, were not damaged, except by water
 Though the alarm was given at once after the explosion took place. about To o'cloek, the fire srread so rapidly that 1t had extended to every room on the second floor of the house, causing the explosion of another lamp before the water was turned on, which was less than one minute after the first tap of the bell. The first to get water on the fire were those who hap pened to be In La Fiesta, below the place of the fire. at the time, who used the small hose belonging to II. A. Bauer, next door. making connection at the tap under the sidewalk in front, but Hose Company No. I was not far behind. Notwithstanding the start t had. in an incredibly short time the fire was put out. The building was burnt through on both sides. though the roof was yet intact.
 The loss will approximate siooo, the furniture, carpets and partitions having been entirely destrt yed, besides much Of the clothing of those living in the apart ments. Everything moi destroyed by fire was damaged by water. The loss of the proprietols of La Fiesta will amount to about sIoo, all caused bv water.

CHAMBER CONDEMNS
 THE GR(NJT BILL Committee Appointed to Vis-
 it Juneau.
TIRED OF INDIAN RULE
Judge Day Talks Straight rom the shouider-0thers Follow Suit Brady severely Censured.

The Chamber of Commerce held d spe- eIaI meeting last night for the purpose of discussing the bills introduced In the pres ent congress affecting Alaska. and more especially the Grout bill, which provides that the secretary of the interior may de- tail the governor or secretary of Alaska as the delegate to congress. Among those present were; Dr. Keller. presiding; Messrs. Day, Burkhard, Kelly, Kaufman, Bevins. Woodruff. Peterson, Peoples and Mayer.
 Judge Day proposed that mass meet ing of the citizens should be called to ex- press a strong opposition to the Grout bill. The Presbvterlan church has been running Alaska for many wears, and while he had nothing against that church, he was abso- lutely opposed to any church running the political affairs of the community n which he lived. The question was wheth- CT we wanted at Washington q representa- tive of the Alaska Indians or a representa- tive of the whites, and he was in favor of the whites.
 Mr. Mayer agreed with the previous speaker, as also did Mr. Woodruff, the lat ter stating that 1t was now about time to take action in opposition to Mr. Brady. and he felt sure that nlne-tenths of the whole white population of Alaska were of this opinion.
 The idea of a mass meeting was not fur ther discussed, however. lt was thought advisable to first take the opinion of other Alaskan communities in the matter, and for this purpose Messrs. Woodruff and Peterson were appointed a committee to visit Juneau and Douglas Island taking with them the GFout and other recently proposed Alaskan measures, and confer with the Juneau chamber and leading cit- lzens upon the course to be pursued In the premises.
 MeSsrs Woodruff and Peterson leave for Juneau this morning on the steam tug Res olute.
