yers for the defense who s~cathingly
denounced the factiOnal fight in Tn"
republican ranks Of North Carolina
which he said was responsible for
Rlackburn'S Indictment. He said that
all the leaders of the party in this
state do, is to fight for SpOils. Contin-

the hearts of his countrymen, but
turning the phrase it could be said
that he republican party in North

Why has not he been put on the

up to Van Ness avenue, including the
entire business section and all the
hotels has been entirely destroyed,
and the district running north from
Golden Gate avenue, and lying be-

street also has been burned. China
town is gone. The fire is raging on
Mob Hill. l hear that parts of Mob
Hill are entirely wiped out. The fire
has crossed Van Ness avenue east of
Union street, and everything in that
district is gone. Certain parts of Mob
Hill are still untouched, though very
seriously threatened with fire raging
around Union and Franklin streets
with every prospect of continuing, 1t
now looks as if the entire city will be
burned before the fire stops. A sec
ton bounded by Union and Octavia
streets and Golden Gate avenue and
another lying between Market and
and Fillmore streets are about all that
is left Of the city north of Market
street, which has not yet been burn
