SAN FRANCISCO PAPER BURNS.
Firing of Bombs Stars Fire in Plant Of
san Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco. Nov. 10.-Shortly be-
fore midnight fire started in the big
clock tower on the Chronicle building,
as a result of the firing of bombs to an
nounce the election results, and the
flames spread with such rapidity that
the entire fire apparatus of the city
was summoned to the scene. Owing
to the great height OIL the flames, it
was impossible to reach them, even
with the combined forces of the water
towers, and the familiar superstruct-
ure of the building was speedily re-
duced to debris, which toppled in blaz-
ing sections to the street below.
The fire found its way down to the
roof, and a considerable portion OF
that part of the building was burned
before the weak water supply sue
ceeded in quenching it. In the towel
was located the Photographic depart
ment and below it on the top floor wal
the composing room, in which are 10
Gated many linotype machines. II
what extent these were damaged /
not known.
1t is believed that the library, tn
most valuable of its kind in the ives
has been practically destroyed. In

offices on the lower floors were d.
luged with water poured upon the u
per part of the structure.

ARMY DESERTIONS
DURING LAST FISCAL YEAR $3.50
QUITE THE SERVICE.
Major General Alnsworth in His An
nual Report Devoted Much Atten-
ton to the subject-canteen Not
Likely to Be Restored-Easy and
Luxurious Life of Soldiers Criticized.

Major General r. 9. Ainsworth, the
military secretary, in his annual re-
port, devoted much attention to de-
sertions from the army. Those who
know how the canteen came to be
abolished, he states, are not hopeful
of its restoration; there is no likeli-
hood of any such increase in the sol
diers' pay as will Offset the greater in
ducement offered in civil pursuits; the
comforts and even luxuries that are
furnished men in our service are even
now criticized by some as being not
only extravagant, but injurious in their
effect on men whose real business 1t
is to march and fight, encountered
with few comforts and no Injuries;
and the discipline and instruction TO
which the soldier is now subjected are
not likely to be relaxed in the future.
He continues:
Our people have little real interest
: in the army in time Of peace and from
me earliest days of the republic have
been accustomed to look upon 1t as
= more or less unnecessary institution.
: Enlistment in the army in time OF
= peace is not uncommonly regarded as
. evidence of worthlessness on the part
!. of the recruit.
" 1t is safe to predict that assertions
from the army will continue to be ex-
cessive until there shan have been
- radical change of public sentiment
toward the army and until the de-
" serter shall come to be regarded as
the criminal that he is, to be ostra
In cized and hunted down as relentlessly
e, as any other transgressor of the laws
lg There is no reason to look for such
n, change of sentiment in the near tut
ed ure. and there are some who believe
in that the change VIII never come unit
