SIX SMOTHER TO DEATH.
Accidental Asphyxiations in Different
Parts of San Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 22.-Six per-
sons were asphyXiated by gas Sunday
night, and the coroner concluded that
the cases were all accidental. In most
instances a window was open in each
room in which gas was escaping and
the coroner called the attention to the
fact that it is popularity supposed a
fatal result can not ensue where fresh
air also has entrance.
John Lundin, railway foreman, and
Percy Nelson, a laborer, were asphyX-
lated in a Sacramento street lodging
house. They were to have started for
Los Angeles this morning. James Ty-
son, aged rs years, and formerly a
miner, died at 272S Howard street. A
rubber tube attached to a gas stove
had rotted and allowed the fluid to
escape. Miss Jennie Crowley, a laun-

TRADE REPORT.
Report

New York.-Bradstreet' Report
says:
Holiday and retail business gener-
ally is reasonably active, wholesale
and jobbing trade correspondingly
quiet, while manufacturing industry
slackens for the above reason, but al
so because of low water in streams or
efforts to readjust operations to chang
ed conditions of demand and supply.
Cold weather is still an important stim-
illus to heavy wearing apparel and
footwear. There are several continu-
ously encouraging factors noted.
Prices, all things considered, show
ed marked steadiness, confirming re-
ports of closely held supplies.
Seasonable quietness does not affect
building material, which, judging from
permits issued at leading cities, is
likely to be active next spring. Petro-
leum is at the highest point in years,
due to increased domestic demands
for fuel and Strengthened condition of
old fields of supply.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week aggregate 3,363,035 bushels.
Business failures in the United
States for the week numbered 239.

men and police reserves from three
precincts had the utmost difficulty in
getting the people out to the street.
The fire started on the third floor,
and when the firemen arrived the first
second and third floors were in a
blaze. The third, fourth and fifth
alarms were sent in rapid succession
and about an hour after the fire start
ed the two mines" alarm was sound
ed.
Battalion Chief Coleman had enter
ed the building with number of men,
including Lieutenant Jones and Father
~mitn, the fire department chaplain,
They were about 25 feet inside, when
the fire came through the walls and
the building shook. The firemen saw
the danger and dashed out. The chap
lain escaped, but a beam fell and hit
Coleman and Jones, pinning them to
the floor. Father Smith, with three
dragged out Jones, who had managed
to stagger to his feet. Jones, in pull
ing himself out, felt for Coleman. He
found him so pinned he could not res
cue him, but got his helmet, which he
put on, and escaped. Within a min
ute the entire rear and side walls
fell.
After the building had been totally
destroyed the body of Chief Coleman
was found wedged under fallen debris
in such a position that the firemen
were unable to reach it.
Coleman was made a battalion chief
last August. He won the Bennett
medal for bravery eight years ago for
rescuing two women from boarding
house fire in East Tenth street. Rich
ard Joyce, fireman who was appoint
ed only 10 days ago, was. reported
missing after the fire was out. He was
last seen in the building just before
the walls fell.

MOST UNUSUAL CRIMES.
Two Robberies and Murder on Freight
Train.

Stockton, Gala most unusual rob-
berry and murder was committed re-
Gently on a freight train about five
miles north of this city at what is
known as Castle switch. Three men
boarded the tram at some point sew
eral miles north of there, probably at
Gait, as the men had been seen drink
ing in a saloon of that town after
they had quit work on a ranch near
New Hope. The murdered man Is be-
lieved to be A. s. Richards of Ban
croft, Idaho, who, in company with
e. A. Lewis and a negro, started for
San Francisco on the freight train.
Shortly after passing Lodi, Rich
ards is said to have pulled a revolver
and robbed Lewis. who was thrown
from the train and had an arm brok-
en-. The negro is credited with parti-
cipating in this robbery, and it is be-
lieved that Richards failed to divide
the spoils with the colored man, who
turned on MS companion and, after
robbing MIN, threw him from the train.
Richards fell under the car wheels
and his body was cut into several
pieces. Coroner Southworth was in
formed and took charge of the case
The negro disappeared and, although
several officers have been searching
for him, up to late hour he had not
been located.

TO PREVENT WAR.
European Powers Have Taken a Hand
in the Matter.

IN the MATTER
Washington, Dec. 23-Diplomatic
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States. The first step
has already been taken by several for
eign powers through their representa-
tives, who have informed General
Reyes of the futility of any attempt
by Colombia to retake Panama, de-
claring that it will result only in pre-
cipitating the Bogota government in
to war with the United States and
that the result of such a catastrophe
Colombia herself must realize.
If this is not sufficient, the repre-
sentatives of these countries at b.
gotta will be instructed to inform Pres.
ident Marroquin that Colombia may
expect no sympathy from the Euro
pean powers in any movement she
may make on Panama, which would
inevitably involve her in war with the
United States. The members of the
diplomatic corps have been informed
by General Reyes himself that he fears
he can with difficulty check his people
much longer.

IRRlGATE WASHINGTON LANDS.
Mr.. Newell Says 1t Is Largest Project
in the World


Washington, d. C.-There was a
joint meeting of the senate and house
irrigation committees recently. The
arrangement was for the purpose of
giving Mr. Newell, chief of the recla-
nation service, an opportunity to pre-
sent his views regarding irrigation
work and Investigations in various
states. In Washington an investiga-
ton is being made of the Big Bend
project, which, MIR. Newell said, is the
largest irrigation project in the world
According to his statement, it would
irrigate between l 100000 and 2,O00,OU0
acres o. land, and so far as the inves-
legations have gone the cost would be
staggering and could only be compared
with the Panama canal in magnitude
But the land reclaimed would be well
worth the cost of reclamation. He
said it would be several years before
the department could fully determine
whether the project was feasible or
not.
