JUNEAU. Alaska. April 2.-Fol-
lowing the strained condition of af-
fairs in labor circles ON Douglas Is
land. the miners belonging to Union
No. l., employed IN the Treadwell
mine. have declared strike. This
decision was. reached today after the
mine omcers had refused to meet
with representatives OF the union to
discuss thu demands of the men, after
a controversy covering several days.

Acting Governor Dfxton, of Alaska,
the war department authorized two
companies OF regulars to proceed to
Douglas Island at once. The troops
under Col. Greene reached the island
yesterday afternoon. having made the
trip from Fort Seward ON the govern
ment ship Patterson in quick time.
The soldiers have taken up their
headquarters in the Treadwell Club.

Electric Light and Power Honse De-
stroyed- Loss $500, 600.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The
destruction of the electric light and
power house OF the San Francisco
Electric company at Twenty-second
avenue south and Georgia street by
fire last night plunged the city into
almost total darkness, resulted in the
injuring of five firemen and caused
loss estimated at $2,50O,0OO.
The following firemen are in the
Potrero Emergency Hospital SER
iously injured:
Capt. Thomas J. Murphy of Engine
2g
Luit. Hayden.
Lieut.. Danley.
+ Lieut.. Kelsher.
Lieut. j. De Mar.
The firemen were caught by fall
ing walls when the building unex-
pectedly collapsed. The destroyed
power house was the principal cleo
trio light and power plant. of the
San Francisco Gas and Electric COM
pany, and furnished the electric light
for large portion Of the city.
Out of the nine leading theaters,
six could give no performances. Ex-
ira policemen were placed on duty at
the temporary hall Of justice and
city prison at Eddy and Mason
streets. Owing to the darkness, the
building having no gas, no one was
allowed to enter or leave the city
prison and no prisoners were re-
leased on bail.
Fire Caused by Explosion.
The fire started shortly before 8
o'clock. It was caused. it is said, by
the explosion of a steam pipe in the
engine room, which scattered fuel oil
in all directions. The oil Immediately
caught fire, ignited the oil tank,
which exploded, and in few minutes
the entire building, with valuable
machinery, was wrapped in flames.
J. A. Britton, president of the San
Francisco Gas & Electric company,
estimated the loss at $2,500,000. He
said that 1t was 100000 struc-
ture and that over one-third of it
was destroyed. It was the main
lighting plant which distributed pow
er to all the sub-stations in the city.
Britton stated that the city lighting
system would be connected with the
! company's mountain reserve power
lines In Yuba and Sacramento coun-
ties. and he hoped to have the great
er part Of the City lighted by. tonight.

Report on Thaw's Sanity To-day

NEW YORK, April 3.-After hear
ing two experts as witnesses today,
one for the state and one for the de-
Tense, the commission which is en-
curing into the present mental state
of Harry X. Thaw went into execu-
tive session and conducted its last
mental and physical examination OF
the defendant.
Even the lawyers on pvsS sides
were barred from this last sitting,
the commission intimating that after
a mass OF contradictory expert tes-
timony- placed before it, the members
believed they would get all the infor-
nation they required from Thaw
himself.
The commission expects to report
its finding to Justice Fitzgerald to-
morrow, at which time the trial will
proceed or an order will be issued
committing Thaw to the Matteawan
for the criminal insane.
The commission remained in ses-
sion to consider its report after the
examination of Thaw has been COM
pleted. Jerome and counsel repre-
senting the defendant were notified
that they were no longer required by
the commission, and there would be
no communication of any sort with
anyone tonight. The commission un-
will report to Justice Fitz-
gerald before the court convenes to-
morning.

says: 80. 4a .sa
= The final ttage IN the Investigation
OF the Hartman situation will begin
on Thursday next when the interstate
commerce commission will hear it's
own counsel and that Of involved
railroads in explanation OF points
brought out in the testimany taken.
Following arguments the commission
will refer all testimony to the attor-
ney general with view to the insti-
tuition of legal proceedings for dis
solution of the combination existing
among the Union Pacific, Oregon
Short Line, Southern Pacific and al
He'd lines which have been found to
be competing; and will prepare a re-
port for the information of the pres
ident wherein viii be set forth steps
which the investigation shows will
improve the transportation facilities
generally, the legislation necessary to
insure more satisfactory federal regu-
lation.
A further decision of the commits
sion will be to request the depart
ment of justice to compel E. H. Har-
riman to answer questions pertaining
to his acts as private individual
which he declined to answer when he
was on the witness stand. It may
be that counsel for Hartman will
seek to avoid such proceedings by
giving the commission the informa-
ton 1t desires, but this is remote
possibility. The commission is sat
isfied that under the powers granted
1t by existing law its authority to de-
mand answers to personal questions
would be upheld.

THE DEMOCRATIC State convention which
met in Baltimore on Thursday, was in some
respects an inharmonous body of men, yet it
was able to complete the nomination of a State
ticket without an open rupture. 1t is COM
posed as follows: For Governor-Judge Aus
tin L. Crothers, of Cecil county; for Comp
troller-Dr. Joshua w. Herring of Carroll
county; for Attorney General-Mr. Isaac Lobe
Straus, Of Baltimore city; Cor Clerk of the
Court of Appeals-Mr. c. G. Magruder, of
Prince Georges county. The ticket appears
to be sort of compromise affair. 1t is not re-
garded as strong one and the Republicans, if
they make no mistakes in their selections,
have an excellent fighting chance of carrying
the State this year.

INSTEAD OF raising the Governors salary
from So, 500 to 81 900 the Tennessee Legislature
appropriates So, 500 to maintain the executive

on his satisfactory behavior, as well as silences
the opponents of higher salaries. 1t comes
to the same thing with taxpayers, but they
