districts of the fire department were
quickly on the ground, however, and
by hard work the fire was kept with
in the original limits. By 1880 o'clock
the large structure was in ruins. The
tiremen were injured by falling walls.

Bottom and Sides of the Oregon.
The ZafirO, at Che-FOO, Has Been

Washington, July 1.-The following
dispatches were received at the navy
department Saturday morning rela-
tive to the grounding of the Oregon:
"Che-Foo, June 29.-Secretary of
Navy: Anchored yesterday, dense
fog, in II fathoms, three miles south
of How Ke light, gulf of Pc Chi Iii.

on rock south How Ke light. Iris

"REMEY."
Washington, July Pinnacle rock,
where the Oregon ran aground, is
about 25 feet high, and lies three and
two thirds miles sddIth of How XII
island, and about mile and a quar-
ter n. n. e. of the island OF Sac Lu
Shan. The rock is encircled by a
shoal, and should not be approached
nearer than three cables. According
to the photographic bureau officials,
there is strong current from three
to five knots speed always prevalent
in this vicinity, and this fact, together
with the dense fog that prevailed at
the time, greatly enhanced the dam
ger in navigating the Oregon. The
officials of the naval photographers
office say there is a great rise and
fall of the tide at this point (about
ten feet, and it is possible that the
Oregon may be lifted off in this way
and set afioat without assistance.
Capt, Wilde's statement of the in
juries sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the naval
constructors here to form a definite
opinion as to the prospects of saw
ing the famous ship. They say, how
ever, the ship probably can be saved
if the weather does not become rough,
but, unfortunately, this is the season
of storms in Chinese waters.
Washington, July 2.-The navy de-
partment has received no further
news OF the battle ship Oregon,
aground off the Chinese coast.

Downing Acquitted.
tFrom the Tucson Citizen.l


 William Downing was acquitted of the charge of train robbery at Tomb stone Wednesday night. The jury was out but a short time when the verdict was arrived at. The evidence of Stiles and Burts did not have effect in the case because they were both ae- complices, and Downing disclaimed any connection with the robbery.
 There was another sensation in the trial when Mrs. Downing was placed on the stand. She denied that the horses were furnished by her husband and said that Rurts did not sleep at her house on the night of September 9. Of the testimony of Mrs. Downing the Prospector says: While much of the evidence in this case would pale the most vivid detective story, the climax of sensation was reached when Mrs. Downing and defendant told of mysterious stranger who sawed wood for them from the Sth to the 10th of Sept, 1899; how Stiles called the stranger out about dark on the 10th and they had never seen him since; how they both recognized the dead man found by Tom Waters and Amos Marion few miles from Wilcox last winter as the stranger by the shirt found upon him and blue stud in it, and by deformed finger and finger nail on the hand of the dead man. De fendant said that Stiles had told de- fendant the morning after he called the man out, that "the--had been meddling, and he had made him leave town" Defendant specifically denied each and all of the discriminating state ments attributed to him. When asked if he had ever had any conversation with Stiles, Alvord or Burts about robbing the train either at Cochise or Benson he said he ''never thought of such thing, never dreamed of such thing"

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. z
 EDITOR TRIBUNE: We had grand time at the National Irrigation Con- gress in Chicago. Hon. Geo. II. Max well was the head center, the oracle, and his influence was felt and ack- nowledged by all. There were gover- nors and mayors and bank presidents, scientific gentlemen, some of the best brains in the country, and all were unanimous in bringing national irriga- tion before the people of the United States and Congress. The subject has come to the front and come to stay.
 We have found man to formulate the bill to secure an appropriation for the San Carlos dam from this Congress, and he is at work gathering material and will soon have it in readiness for the printer. Some unwise movements have been made and have alarmed the friends of the project, but truth is mighty and must prevail" and any scheme to thwart or hinder the erec- tion of that dam will come to naught. Mir. Guy E. Mitchell corresponding secretary of the National Irrigation Association, is live mana better one for the position it would be hard to find.
 We have secured Cor think we have) two of the ablest men in the Senate, and when the bill is brought before Congress their voices will be heard.
