SIZED UP.

The correspondents take the same
view of the Wilcox salary bill that was
expressed some days ago in this jour
nal. An evening Wilcox paper mad
vertently prints this general Washing
ton dispatch. which. as our readers
will see, contains a strong solution of
truth:
There is to be no general salary grab,
although many congressman and Sena-
tors are convinced that they should be
better paid. and would vote themselves
more pay IL they were not afraid their
constituents would object While Sena-
tors and Congressman VIII not get more
pay, the passage by the Senate of thu
Hoar bill making substantial increases
in Judicial salaries probably means that
those jurists will be well paid hereafter.
for the House is likely to follow the
Senate's lead. In this connection the
effort OF Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii TO
curry favor with the President by In
Producing a bill increasing the Cniet Ex-
ecutive's salary simply causes amuse-
ment. Wilcox came here as the repre-
sentative Of the native party in Hawaii,
but he has since concluded that 1t IS
more polite to stand with the party in
power, so he Is now Republican" but
the Republicans do not recognize him
cordially.
This Is cheerful sign that the Dele
gate from Hawaii has been fairly sized
up by his colleagues and by the Wash
ington correspondents. The object OF
his Presidential salary bill and the bo-
gus quality OF his Republicanism. be-
ing clear. after this his influence at the
capitol will not necessarily disturb the
friends OF good government.

PHASES OF THE FULLER CASE.

The assumption of the San Francisco
detectives that the murderer of Nora
Fuller Is still IN that city does more
credit to their zeal than to their intel
ligence. When the body of the stran
gied girl was found she had been dead
for at least three weeks; and ii was
obvious that the recourse of hiring
house IN which to kill her was taken
so that the ghouI who did the deed
should have a long start of the police
by the time his crime had been dis
covered. 1t is inconceivable to any one
but San Francisco detective that the
man. with three weeks chance to get
away. should stay in the city-a place
where he was well known. and take
chances OF arrest and conviction on a
capital charge. The odds are a thou
sand to one that when the agent of
Umbsen & Co. entered the house of
death and found the body of Nora Full
Ter. the stranger who had taken her life
was In some other quarter OF the globe.
But this reasonable theory does not
keep the detectives from throwing sus-
picion on every man who had any ac-
quaintance with Nora Fuller. To show
themselves diiigent in the quest. they
have coliared a lawyer who. having
done some business for the young girls

INVESTIGATING VICE.

Hunting ducks with a brass band Is
nothing to the statement, given out at
the judiciary building. that the grand
Jury will investigate evil resorts at
Iwilei next week.
BY that time the birds will have
flown and the cages been closed.
The way to get at the private invest
nents in vice In the Iwilei quarter is
to look into the raid which occurred a
short time ago. note what the police
and reporters found and review the ev-
idence which led TO several convictions.
The next step should be to find the
owners and managers of the implicated
property and go for them in the name
Of the law. These owners or most Of
them were personally exposed in

With one feature of the current crit
icism OF Professor Pearson's attacks on
the miracles. there will be general as
sent. The professor had no. right to sit
in a university chair and whittle it to
pieces-the chair was not his. Having
convinced himself that the miracles
were fanciful. Prof. Pearson should
have left the UNCONVENTIONAL college

validity and gone into the field of inde-

to those who put him there and earn

This country has too much politics
for its own good, and would like to es-

mean anything more than a waste OF

1t Is hardly probable that Congress
can settle the negro question in the
South without enacting a general law
combining the voting privilege to those,
otherwise qualified. who can read and
write the English language. Such a
law would eliminate a class of voters
who are a danger to the commonwealth
and encourage education. at the same
time giving the Southern States relief
which they have long felt compelled to
seek outside the law.

The temperature of the earth is es-
timated to be at least 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit at a depth of fifty mites,
and in many places comparatively high
temperatures are found very near the

is one Of the great problems now in
the minds of engineers. With the di-
rect and economical conversion of heat
into electricity on a large scale, which
is looked for in the near future, the
earth's hot spots should become i'm

FATAL FIRES.
Eight Italians Suffocated, This
Morning, at Boston.
Five Men, Two Women and Ore
Little Child Perish.
Three Others Taken to Hospital and
VIII Probably Die.

Boston, Jan. 29.-Eight Italians were
suifocated in tenement house fire or
Flee. street in the North end. this
morning. Three others were removed
TO the hospital and will probably die.
The poor Italians must have died like
ats in a cage. for the second and third
floors of the tenement. mere hovel
were Uttered with bodies.
The fire started in a laundry on the
ground floor and the dense smoke
poured up through the building. -Four
on the second floor managed to reach
tn, windows and jumped to the ground
hut three were so seriously injured that
they will die.
The firemen rushed into the building
as soon as possible. but there was no
one TO save when they reached the ia tai
floors
The fire must have been smoulderine
some time before ii was discovered, al
though the flremen made quick work OF
Il when they got there.
The work of taking out the bodies
commenced at once. Four men were
first brought down the narrow stairs
and laid in an adjoining store. then
came three women. followed by the
body of Il little child, all having met
death by suffocating smoke. although
one man and woman We're somewhat
burned about the head.
The tenement was of the poorest
class. and even the immediate neigh
bors of the unfortunate occupants could
not tell their last names.
The fire was one of the most CHASTITY
that has occurred in the city for many
years.
IL was 1.30. this morning, that citi-
zeh saw the smoke coming from the
windows and hastily turned in the
alarm. 1t seemed as If the fire depart
ment would never get there but at last
an engine whirled around the corner.
The firemen hardly stopped to see the
srouldering blaze on the ground floor
but burst in the door OF the stairway
leading to the floors above and
rushed up.
But the smoke had already done its
deadly work. Then came a hasty call

II being so early in the morning there
was but little crowd to hinder the work.

laid on the floor.

summoned but there was nothing for
them to do. Nearly all the victims We're
Partially dressed, but their clothing was

Washington. Jan. 2S.--The state de-
partment, today, received dispatch
from the United States representatives
in Turkey regarding the case of Miss
Ellen NJ. Stone, the American mission
airy held by brigands. and her COM
panion Nine. Tsilka. Its contents We're
disappointing. the captives not having
been released. as was hoped would be
the case from the manner in which the
negotiations looking to that end had
been progressing lately.
Officials are averse to discussing the
case freely but it is understood the
hesitation of the brigands in bringing
the matter to prompt conclusion is
due to their distrust of the attitude as
sumed by the Turkish authorities.
The ransom money demanded has not
yet been paid. The state department
will continue to exert every effort to
secure the release of the women but
immediate prospects are less reassur-
ing.
