BULLER POPULAR
CROWDS GATHER TO CHEER DIS
CREDITED WARRIOR.

London, Nov. 30.-The Devonian
dinner al which General Butler pre-
sided at the Hotel Cecil tonight was
the scene of great enthusiasm, and
a remarkable tribute to the personal
popularity of the discredited general.
But it passed off without any actual
enforcement demonstration. Long
before the hour fixed for the reception,
the great court yard of the hotel was
crowded with Bullerites. The arrival
OF General and Lady Audrey Butler
was the signal for enthusiastic cheer.

INTERESTED IN CONTRACT
PRESIDENT REMOVES OKLAHOMA
CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The presi-
dent today appointed Thomas B. Ferg-
uson governor of Oklahoma, vice Will
liam M. Jenkins, removed. In TAX
ing this action the president attached
to the papers the following memoran-
DUN:
Governor jenkins OF Oklahoma is
hereby removed because of his i'm
proper connection with a contract be-
tween the Territory and the Okla
homa Sanitarium company. The de-
cision is based purely upon his own
written statements and his oral ex-
plantations of them at the final hear
ing. One of the duties of a territor-
ial governor is to enter into contract
with some person or corporation for
the keeping Of the insane of the ter
ritory. Governor Jenkins made such
a contract with the Oklahoma Sanitar-
ium company, a corporation, the pro-
motors of which reserved $4,000 of
it's stock for the governor and subject
to his orders.
"In his explanation the governor
says he told the promoters at the
time they desired him to sanction the
contract, that it was an important
contract and that I had some friends
whom I would like to have interested
in the company, to whom l owed some
political obligations, which I would
not be able to pay by appointment or
anything Of that kind The stock
was delivered to a banker subject to
the governors order, and was turned
over to these friends, whose political
services the governor thus sought to
reward. The extent of the favor to
the governor or his friends is suggest
ed by the fact that the only known
sale of stock since the contract was
given out was at double the price
originally paid for it.
GAS the performance of the con-
tract was to be the sole bsiness of
the corporation, it is obvious, either
that the territory was obligated to
pay far more than the service was
worth, or it's helpless wards were to
have the enormous profits contemplat.
ed taken out of their keeping.
"The governors confessed relations
to the matter disclose such entire
lack Of appreciation of the high fiduc-
larry nature of the duties of his Office
as to unfit him for their further dis
charge.
"a sound rule of public policy and
morals forbids a public servant from
seeking OF accepting any personal
benefit in a transaction, wherein he
had a public duty to perform.
"A chancellor would not for one mo
ment retain q trustee, whose, dealing
reserved an advantage to himself"

CHAMPION WRESTLER AFTER
PUGILISTIC HONoRs.
JEFFRIES IS CHALLENGED
To Defend Championship and Con-
tend for Good Side
Bet.

Cleveland, Nov. 29.-Tom Jenkins,
champion wrestler, intends to turn
pugilist and tonight issued a challenge
to James j. Jeffries to meet him in a
glove contest for the worlds cham
pionship and a reasonable side bet.
Jenkins has long been known to the
public only as a wrestler, but he is
equally skillful with gloves and he be-
1ieves that the greater financial
emoluments accruing from the ring
would warrant his adopting. pugilism
as a profession. He does not intend,
however, to give up wrestling entire
ly but will meet all bonefde chal-
lengers in both wrestling and boxing.
Manager Touhey will leave Cleveland
for San Francisco Monday morning to
e Jeffries in the matter of a match
with Jenkins.

CITY HALL BURNED
STARTED FROM DEFECTIVE
ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE.

Denver, Nov. 30.-Fire which start
ed on the fourth floor of the Denver
city hall this evening practically gut
ted the building, destroying much
property and probably a large amount
of valuable records. Three firemen
are said to be missing and it is feared
they have persisted in the flames.
The origin of the fire is not abso-
lutely known but it is supposed to
have been defective electric light wir-
ing. The building contained all the
city Offices except that Of the police
department and included the central
fire station and city Jail. It was of
stone, six stories in height. It cost
nearly half a million dollars but was
built in 1890 and has much deprecated
in value. 1t was insured for $4,000.

STILL ALIVE AND WELL
PRISONERS WILL NOT BE KILLED
UNDER ANY PRETExT,

Sofia, Nov. 29.-According to a let
ter dated Dubnitza, November %,
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka are still
alive. The letter further says that
at a recent meeting of the committee
held in Dubnitza it was definitely de-
cided not to kill the prisoners upon
any pretext whatever. Nevertheless,
the committee insisted upon the pay
ment of the full amount of the ran
som.
A suggestion is current in political
circles here to the effect that the
United States should force Turkey to
pay the balance of the ransom and as
soon as the prisoners are in safety,
force Bulgaria to punish those persons
guilty of their abduction.

When the two teams resumed play
at ..:2S and DAILY, of the army team,
made his great run of los yards for
a touchdown, President Roosevelt
jumped to his feet with an expression
OF surprise on his face, and like thou
sands of other spectators, could scarce
~ realize what a remarkable piece of
football mechanism DAILY really is,
that he could make such a phenomi-
nal run through an entire field.
The keenest interest was manifested
by all the distinguished spectators and
not one made a move to leave the
field until the game vas ended. The
presidential party left the grounds at
4:3O and went Immediately to South
Street station siding, where the spec
ial train was in waiting. It was pre-
cisely 5 o'clock when the train pulled
out for Washington. President Roose-
welt stood on the ear platform with
barred head and smiled his acknowl-
edgements to the cheering thousands.
There was an element of luck in
the victory Of the West Point eleven
this afternoon: They were outplayed
by the Annapolis team in both halves,
but it was a case of too much DAILY.
This great little quarterback ran the
army team with a judgment and
besides making the entire II points
for his team, prevented at least two
touchdowns by the most brilliant tack
ling ever seen on Franklin field. Twice
the navy unner cleared all of the
West Point team with the exception
of DAILY. The latter instead Of rush
ing up to meet the oncoming runner,
trotted slowly toward him and in this
way timed his tackling beautifully and
caught his man squarely.

sells Reported-List Of Lost
Not Obtainable.

San Francisco, Nov. 30.-The ferry
boats Sausalito and Sam Rafael col
lided tonight in a dense fog, and San
Rafael sank within Is minutes. 1t is
thought that not more than 20 per-
sons were drowned. although the San
Rafael carried between $50 and 200
passengers.
The Sausalito was not seriously in
jured, and after rescuing all the pas
sengers on the San Rafael that she
could she proceeded to San Francisco
under her w steam. The boats be-
longed to the San Francisco & North
Pacific railway. They piled between
San Francisco and Sausalito, a SUBJ
urh across the bay in Marin county.
At Sausalito a train connects for Ross
valley and San Rafael, where many
San Francisco business men make
their summer and winter homes.
There had been a dense fog on the
bay all day long, and towards evening
it seemed to thicken. Captain McKen-
zie of the San Rafael sent his ship
along under a slow bell. He was
somewhere near Alcatraz island when
the Sausalito, coming from Sausilito
to San Francisco, crashed into her.
There were but a few passengers on
the Sausilito but they were badly
scared and for a few moments it look
ed as if both ships were going down.
When it was cen that the Sausalito
was not badly injured, she stood by
the San Rafael and officers, crew and
passengers engaged in the rescue of
the unfortunate passengers of the
sinking vessel. The news of the dis
aster did not reach the city until near
ly 8 o'clock and the news spread with
great rapidity. There was intense ex-
element at the opera house where an
immense crowd was listening to Calve
in Carmen. Many people left the
house and rushed to newspapers Of
fees to obtain information about
friends and relatives who might have
been on board the vessels.
Never has a fog been thicker in San
Francisco and on the bay than to-
night. 1t was a day and night of
anxiety. In the early hours the fog
came up "as thick as mush,' and to-
night it was almost impossible to see
a boats length,
The steamer Arctic ran down the
French bark Edmond Rosland in the
early morning hours, while Encinal
and Albatross came together in the
fog. Many vessels had narrow es-
caps and fog signals were blowing in
all directions.
Most Of the ferry steamers escaped,
but one or two of them got into trou-
BILE.
Captain Mckenzie of the San Ra-
fael raj the last one to leave the ship
AS she was going down he seized a
rope flung him from the Sa~ussalito
and was pulled on board. He thinks
most of his passengers were saved.
The list of those lost will not be OBJ
tainable until tomorrow.

Security Trust Company Contends
That Condemnation Proceedings

Last summer commission, by condem-

road right of way for it's spur track
on the West side, but if the contentious
of the Security Trust company, now act
ing for client, are upheld by the court
the entire proceedings will have to be
gone over again.
In condemning the right of way and ap-
portioning to each owner of the same his
share Cf the damages accruing, the COM
mission made the city a part owner in a
number of the awards, notably one OF
500 and the other $500, division to be made
on the basis of interest that the city
might show To obtain this division and
secure it on an equitable basis the courts
would have been asked to take a hand.
The Omaha road appealed from these
two awards and now the Security Trust
company acting as assignee for d. d.
Merrill, enters a protest and asks for a
dismissal of the appeal on the ground
that the acts of the commission are in
valid. The claim is made that the award
is contrary to the order which Judge
Kelly made in appointing the commits
sion, in that it failed to make separate
assessment of the damages resulting to
each property owner.
If this contention is upheld the Omaha
