MUST PROVE THE EARTHQUAKE.
a,ust Show 1t Preceded Fire to Evade
PayinQ Insurance,

Judge Hosmer in the superior court
in. San Francisco has rendered de-
cision holding that under the earth
quake clause in many insurance poll
cies, is to be included fire damage
resulting from the earthquake or DAM
age resulting solely from the earth
quake. The decision was made in the
suit of Walters against the Williams
burg Fire Insurance company in which
demand was made for damages re-
sulting from the fire of April Is last.
The court in overriding a demurrer to
the answer set up by the company,
sustains the earthquake exemption of
the policy and puts on the company
the burden of proving in each case
that the fire which destroyed the prop
erty was caused by earthquake. II
Judge Hosmer's decision should be
upheld by the supreme court, the com
pany will not be called upon to pay
in any case in which it is shown that
the fire was caused by the earthquake
and but for the earthquake the loss
would not have been caused.

MAKE PEACE
Northwest Railroad War May Be
Settled.

settled.
The Portland Oregonian says:
Negotiations are on between Hill
and Hartman. and their differences
in the northwest have practically
been settled. w. w. Cotton, general
counsel of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, last night ad-
mitted that representatives Of the
companies have been negotiating, but
he had not heard whether any final
conclusions had been reached. From
the progress of the negotiations, how
ever, and reports from Seattle, which
would indicate that the local end of
the agreement at that place had been
concluded, there seems to be little
doubt that the Hartman and Hill in.
terests will conclude their animosity
in the northwest.
If any agreement has been reached
it means that Hill is to have unob'
structed entrance into Portland and
an opportunity to acquire adequate
terminal facilities, that Hartman
will receive similar treatment in Sc
attic from the hands of Hill, and prob
ably that the railroad rate war along
the north bank of the Columbia river
will cease.

The Clock Plant.

There Is a plant, a native Of Borneo,
which is known as the "clock plant"
The name is derived from the action
Of the suns rays on the leaves, which
are three in number, a large one ex-
tending forward, with two small ones
at the base pointing sideways. These,
coming in contact with the rays Of the
sun, oscillate like the pendulum of a
clock, the larger leaf moving upward
and downward, going its full length
every f0rty-five minutes, the smaller
leaves moving toward the larger, COM
plotting the distance forward and back
ward every forty-fve minutes, thus re-
sembling the hour and minute hands
Of a clock.

RAISUu HAD TO GO
NOTED BANDIT and Followers
ROUTED FROM ZINAT.
His Great stronghold Destroyed by
Fire and Fell Into Hands Of Troops
Of the SuItan-Moorish Gunners
Proved Poor Fighters-Governme
Troops Puage the Fort.

Tangier, Jan. 7.-Zinat, Raisuli's
stronghold, was virtually destroyed by
fire and fell into the hands of the
troops of the sultan at noon Sunday,
after a short and almost bloodless
fight. Raisuli and his 700 followers
succeeded in escaping to the noun
tains, despite the elaborate prepare
lions of War Minister Gabbas.
No firing took place last night, but
at 10 o'clock this morning the artillery
opened on the town. The Moorish
gunners showed utter incapacity in
handling their guns and the infantry
fired haphazard. Two shells dropped
inside for fortress without reply and
thereupon body Of the sultan's troops
charged, shouting, and reached the
walls amid desultory shots from the
surrounding brush.
The town gates were open, but there
were no occupants of the place except
Is prisoners, among whom were four
Portuguese.
A detachment of the government
troops continued firing in the direction
of the mountains where Raisuli and
his followers were observed fleeing.
Meanwhile the other government
trops pillaged the stronghold.
No fatalities in the fighting Sunday
were reported. 1t is thought probable
that the Raisulites carried off their
dead.
The Spanish officers of the inter
national police, created by the Alge'
ciras convention, have arrived and will
take up their duties at the end of the
month.

CLEVELAND BOY BAD AGAIN.
Knock on Head Offsets Reformatory
Work of Surgeons.

Cleveland, O.-The fates seem to
have decided that 15-year-old Leo
Dean shall be bad boy, in spite of
juvenile courts, reformatories and sur
geons' trepanning.
Leo had quite a record as an incor-
rigible before it was discovered that
his perversity dated from whack on
the head he had received when child.
Cranial surgery for the correction of
mental abnormalities was just com
ing into vogue and through the instru-
mentality of the juvenile court Leo
became one of the first subjects ex-
perimented upon here. Drs. George
w. Grille and Harry H. Drysdale re-
lieved the pressure on Leo's brain and
Leo got to be very good boy in
deed.
One day he say some men taking
down an awning. The spectacle en-
chanted him and he stood gazing up
ward. A hammer slipped, fell and by
an almost incredible mischance
cracked Leo on the head in the exact
spot where fate had buffeted him in
childhood.
Now Leo is bad boy again, very,
very wayward delinquent Mrs, Gala
CHAN, probation officer, has interested
herself in his behalf and hopes to in
duce the surgeons to repeat their
work as the fates did theirs.
