Mir Sexton and Harry Wheeler were to leave last night Tor Fl Paso. joining the other marksmen there. The delay in the departure or the Arizona members is due to tele- gram received from the executive officer of the big government rifle range at Caldwell saying that owing to unprecedented rains at Caldwell lt would be necessary to postpone the matches until further notice.

DOUGLAS FIRE
 DESTROYS COAL

Fire that resulted early yesterday morning from spontaneous combus- ton in the coal bins of the Interna- tional Laundry company on Twelfth street between C. and H avenues, in Douglas, caused a loss which C. A. Nichols, president of the company, estimated at $4O00. There was some insurance on the building but none on the coal, and most of the loss came from the latter source.
 The alarm was turned in at 4:O5 o'clock and the fire department was soon on the scene though the wood en roof of the brick building which houses the huge coal bins was already ablaze, and the great piles of coal, containing hundreds of tons, were a mass of smoke and fire The flames made no headway after the firemen arrived, though it took until o'clock to extinguish them. When the fire men reached the scene the laundry building. west of the bins, was threat ened. but the blaze was confined to the coal sheds.
 This is the third fire the company has had in the past year, all originat- ing from spontaneous combustion, though the other two were not seri- ous During the past several weeks the company has been receiving coal for the coming winter trade and it has been shipped in open cars. Much of it was rained on while in transit and was put into the bins while wet, which is said to have been the cause of the spontaneous combustion.

MEXICAN IS KILLED BY

DOUGLAS, July 3O.-Ramon M. Garcia, aged 35, was almost instant ly killed while standing in front of the bake oven in his bakery at Agua Prieta, opposite the Hotel ModernO. An electrical storm accompanied by a heavy rain was in progress at the time and the man was killed either by a stroke of lightning or by a cur rent of electricity that entered his body through the electric light wire held in his hand.

PENALTY FOR FOLLY New York Tribune:

The Austrian terms are severe. A major power has been reduced to a very minor power. The ancient Hapsburg motto was: "Austriae est imperare orbi teTrarum." Now Aus tria is a shadoW-a state hardly able to walk alone. But it must not be forgotten that Austria willed her own destruction. She precipitated the war il the hope of securing a firmer grip on her restless subject peoples. She sinned deliberately. The peace treaty disemberment is the penalty she pays for her illimitable folly.

LLOYD GEORGE AS A PARTY

The effect of coalition in Great Britain has been to awaken the or dinary functions of the existing po- litical parties and to loosen all party ties. In such case, in any country, what happens? Personal influence is magnified, and personal strength counts as against party strength. In Great Britain we find the proof of this in the practical disappearance of every name, in connection with the government, except that of Lloyd George; and it is not surprising to hear that steps are being taken among the English politicians to or ganize a new party in which MT. George will be practically the whole thing"
