RFSEMBLED INFERNO.
Ninth Police Precinct Blaze of
Fire 4ra. 80 -1-s

For few moments this forenoon the in
terror of the ninth precinct police station,
in Northeast Washington. resembled an
amateur inferno, and the necessity of call
ing out the fire department given con-
sideratiOn for the nonce by Police Lieuten-
ant John c. Daley. Zigzag fiery serpents
wriggled their blazing forms through the
air, sheets of blush flame shot hither and
thither and there was a suffering of fire
and puffs of smoke.
The cause of this sudden display of mys-
FERROUS pyrotechnics was an intoxicated
prisoner who had just been arrested at
4th and C streets northeast by Policeman
Holeran. The prisoner. who gave his
name as Benjamin Moore, is a white man
about sixty-five years of age He was
found asleep on the sidewalk by Holleran.
Clutched in his right hand was a gripsack,
which he held on to like grim DEATH" as
the police expressed it.
After Moore had been steered to the sta
ton house and while giving the desk SER
geant his name. age, etc, for entry on the
blotter he asked for drink of water. A
tin cup filed with the filtered fluid was
brought to him. Without drinking the
water he opened the gripsack and took
therefrom a small bottle filled with gray
ish substance like bits of India rubber.
Suddenly the intoxicated individual threw
a piece of the grayish punk" as he called
it, into the water in the tin cup. The liquid
quickly became agitated, then 1t dubbed
and series OF sharp reports followed. Then
there was a burst of flame and the fiery
serpents whizzed and wriggled through the
air. The station was brightly Illuminated
and filled with smoke. ... ...,-
Shall l turn IN the fire alarm, lieuten-
ant?" sang out an excited patroiman.
No" exclaimed Lieut.. Daley, kicking the
cup of blazing water into the street and
leaving column of smoke and sparks in
it's wake. .-4
IT can set glass of whisky or beer on
fire with my punk" exclaimed the half
drunken man, land you bet l have scared
some 'batty' DRINKS most to death by turn
ing the liquor they held in their hands into
bubbling, blazing fire.

THE FEDERAL BUILDING ISSUE,

The friends of the Young Hotel
proposition say that the purchase of
the hotel by the government would
give the city an adequate and central
federal building without delay; that it
would distribute among vacant or par
TALLY vacant business structures the
store and office tenants now in The
hotel that it would enable the other
hotels to do a good business the three
now Gripping each other; that 1t
would obviate a long wait for federal
accommodations.
The opponents of the scheme say
that the purchase of the property for
federal uses would deprive Honolulu
of the large structure the government
would otherwise build; that two fine
buildings are better for the city than
one; that it is wiser for Honolulu to
have a million and more of dollars
spent for local real estate and among
our own mechanics, tradesmen, arti-
sans, supply dealers, etc, than to have
1t go to one citizen; that this one citi-
zen is withdrawing his investments
from here and would take his 81, 400, O0C
to California;; that the Alexander
Young Hotel, If not needed now, will
be badly needed If the tourists flock
here.
The friends of the measure rejoin
that there is no assurance that the
government would build a large or
central structure; that a side location
for the postofIice would be inconve-
nient to citizens; that If a structure
were put up, the government would
probably bring it's building materials
and artisans from the mainland, thus
minimizing the monetary benefits &C
cruing to the city; that If Mr.. Younl
took his $1,4Oo,0OO from here he would
leave what he had built for that O.
a greater sum; that the accommoda
lions of the city, public and private
are ample for all the tourists who ar
| likely to come
And there the matter stands waitin
for solution.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

This is the age OF research and experiment,
when all nature, to speak, is ransacked by
the scientific for the comfort and happiness OF
man. Science has indeed made giant strides
during the past century. and among the-by no
means least Observation-Disclosures in medicine
comes that of THERAPI0N.
This preparation is unquestionably one OF the
most genuine and reliable Patent Medicines
ever introduced, and has, understand, been
used In the Continental Hospitals by Ricord'
Rostan, Jobert. Velpeau, Maisonneuve, the WELL
known Chassaignac and indeed by all who are
regarded as authorities in such matters, in-
GLIDING the celebrated Lallemand, and Roux
by whom II was some time since uniformly
adopted. and that II is worthy the attention OF
those who require such remedy we think there
Is no doubt From the time of Aristotle down
wards, a potent agent In the removal OF these
diseases has like the famed philosopher $

ered--of transmitting the haser metals into gold

! and safely TO expel from the system the poisons

PEACE POSSIBILITIES.

The news that the Baltic fleet VIII
be recalled and that Russia, because
OF emergencies at home, may make
peace with japan, does not take an
observant public by surprise. Critlcs
have often said that Rojestvensky
would have no business in the East
without Port Arthur as a base, and
now Port Arthur floats the enemy's
flag. Furthermore II has been believed
for some weeks that the internal state
of Russia il worse than the censored
dispatches indicate. The reforms de-
creed by the Gear must have been the
result of extraordinary pressure from
the people; and what Is probable IL
VASE growth of the latent revolution
airy spirit. Even IL local conditions are
not so acute as this, Russia, beaten
everywhere in Manchuria and relying
upon a fleet. the commander of which
admits in advance must be smashed to
pieces by the superior guns of the Jap
anese, would be likely to make them
appear as badly as possible SO as to
have an excuse for ending the war.
AND surely the war promises Russia
nothing of glory or other recompense.
So far as Manchuris. is concerned it
cannot be recovered while the Japa-
nese sea-routes are open; and Russia
has no power to shut those routes up
on which she feels that she can Sc
curely rely. Why go on, then, with
hopeless struggle, marked by ever
recurring loans and by a widening OF
breach which the Gear may yet wish
to bridge to his own advantage?
The diplomatic situation is this:
Shall Russia take the risk of being
checked in Asia altogether or shall she
undertake compact with Japan by
which the latter shall have free hand
in Korea and China. and Russia free
hand in the direction of India? The
case has almost become one of saving
some outlets or losing all. And there
to consider also.
! To be sure the peace news Is not
| final. 1t may or may not be verified;
| but the chances are pretty good that
| the war Is nearly over. Kuropatkin
| cannot go south without meeting a
| barrier of forts in every defensible
town between Mukden and Port Ar
| thur; and il he got to the latter point
by that time a repaired fortress would
confront him. And what would be the
