The coachman in the car then began
shooting and Simmons and Vance, the
other two men arrested, replied.
The fire, which seemed to have died
out yesterday, broke out with renewed
vigor in the coal bunkers, north of the

Worth, Texas, arrived in Pueblo from

that when he looked out over the city
and saw the falling buildin and the
flames shooting into the sky, nc fell upon
his knees and buried his face in the sand,
believing that the end of the world had
come. AS the result of the strain which
he was subjected to, Mr.. Coffman's hair
is now almost perfectly white.

The citizens of San Francisco are made
of the right sort of stuff. Even while
the fire still ragged, and before the build.
ings had ceased to crack and crumble,
her financial leaders were planning for
the rebuilding of the city on larger,
grander and stronger lines The San
Francisco of decade hence will far
surpass the San Francisco Of the past.
In her present distress the city has the
sympathy of the entire civilized world,
and that sympathy is being substan TALLY
expressed. On the site of the old city
will rise the new, far grander and more
beautiful than the old, in which the
whole country will feel even a greater
prido than has always been felt in that
great gem of the Pacific.

late war and what proportion OF en-
teric deaths ought more properly 70
have been described as due to pto-
maine poisoning. The secretary re-
piled that more than half the canned
meat supplied to the British troops IN
South Africa during the late war
came from the United States. He
could not say how much OF this came
from Chicago. The war Office knew
nothing Of any cases OF enteric fever
which could be classed as ptomaine

A few instances of the sexcesses
were the bestiality and brutality with
which the victims of the massacre

senator Tiilman Again Calls Up Reso-
luton Of Inquiry.
Washington. June 19.-Senator TIL
man again called up his resolution
providing for an Investigation Of the
question Of national bank contribu.
tions to political campaigns and also
TO the recent failure of the Chicago
National bank.
Speaking OF the resolution Mr.. TILL
man said that Senator Aldrich had
waived aside the resolution on the
ground that the senate had recently
passed bin prohibiting the banks
from making campaign contributions,
but Mr.. Tillman contended that such
action on the part of the senate was
not sufficient. Believing that the
banks were the principal source Of
revenue of the Republican political
committees he did not believe that
the house would pass the bill prior to
the election OF next fall Hence he
still felt the necessity for the investi.
cation provided for by his resolution.
He insisted that the resolution should
be retroactive, but confessed that he
had little hope in that direction. THE
bankers will get an immunity bath for
past offenses," he predicted.
Speaking OF the Chicago bank fail
ure Mr.. Tillman presented extracts
from testimony of Banker FentOn Of
Chicago, taken by the house commit.
tee on banking. to the effect that the
disaster was due to. loans made by
the bank to concerns in which the
president of the bank John r. Walsh)
was interested. He claimed that this
testimony showed that the comptroi-
ler of the currency had known FOR
months before the failure that the
bank had In effect loaned $15,000.00O
to its president.
Senator Hopkins replied that Mr..
Tillman had been misled by irrespon-
sible Chicago men and declared that
the South Carolina senator's 'tirade"
had proved another illustration OF the
fact that "a little learning is dan
gerous thing"
