Their condl-. tionils that ef "confusion worse confounded." Hilarloua Clarkaon. (New York Commercial Advertiser:) Gen. Clarkson is, 'of course, delighted with the news from Iowa that the Alll-exm men are getting ready to go to St. Louis and vote for McKinley.

The eicmeral has bent, all his energies throughout the campaign to keeping his candidate, Senator Allison, from becoming a first-choice man, his theory being that the flrst-cholce man would be discarded after one unsuccessful ballot, and a man taken up and nominated. Certainly there is nothing in this desertion of by the delegates in his own State to indicate that he is likely to be placed in the perilous position of a first-chplce candidate. Clarkson must be almost hilarious over the beautiful situation. A Tough (Chicago The are struggling" to solve the problem, "What is It is a tough conundrum, but until it is answered, no statesman jumps up to remark, "I am a Democrat." Even the New York Sun fallB to shout, "Democrats, get together," for when they do the air is fun of hair and imprecations. James Park yesterday, where only a few hours before happiness ana gooa cheer reigned supreme.

As related in The Times yesterday morning, one of the booths had been destroyed by firs soon after the encampment closd. About 11:30 o'clock Thursday night one cut the Japanese lanterns In the Dhonosrranh hnnth nrpsided over by Mrs. Fred Burnham, caught fire. George lynn, wno was seated in me- rear vi the Spanish booth, which adjoined the phonograph booth, rushed forward and with the assistance of others stamped the Incipient blaze out, as they supposed. Shortly after 1 o'clock Officer Mc-Clean, who was guarding the grounds, saw a tiny blaze curling up from the phonograph tent.

He-ran toward it, and mounted Officer Arguello, who had seen the fire from Adams street, soon Joined him. The tent was all ablaze when the officers reached it, but they went to, work heroically to save, what they could. McClean seized the east flap of the tent, and was instantly enveloped in flames. His moustache was singed -and he was burned about the face and hands. Arguello was burned on the face in-attempting to tear the west wall of the tent down.

By dint of hard work the officers prevented the spread of the fire, but the tent was entirely destroyed. In it were stored a number -of valuable zarapes, Turkish-rugs, and other valuable articles, some of which had been brought from the other booths and placed in It for safe keeping. All these were damaged, most of them destroyed, and the damage Is variously, estimated at from $200 to $600. One of the women who had much to do with the success of the said "The loss will be borne out of the profits of the encampment, and it may eat them all up, and it is very disheartening:" i The general theory which prevail is that a piece of the burning lantern fell among the heavy blankets. it smoldered until it blazed Shortly before 11 o'clock the tamale booth, which was one of the most beautiful in the grounds, and was presided over by Mrs.

Walter S. came near being destroyed by fire. The deco-ratlona over the entrance caught fire from a Japanese lantern; but two plucky women with brooms and tin plates beat the fire out. FOURTH OF JULY. Programme of the Literary Part of the Celebration.

Cyclone Cellar Wanted; 4 i (New York Tribune:) There are 2300 Republican voters now on the rolls of the McKinley League of Ontario county. L. Herendeen, president of the organization. Is authority for the statement that 90 per cent, of the party In the county are for McKinley, and yet State Senator Raines, who, with Congressman will represent the district in St. Louis, refuses to say that he will vote for McKinley on second ballot.

This refusal has caused a vigorous denunciation of Raines throughout Ontario, and has stimulated the growth of the McKinley League In a remarkable way. Clubs are being formed in every election, district, and the leaders are absolutely confident that every delegate to the next State convention will be against the discredited machine. Less than 20 per cent, of the Republican voters of the county took part in the primaries to elect delegates to the convention at which Raines was chosen. Urging Senator White. (Washington Star:) The silver wave which Is sweeping over the country in the Democratic ranks, and the consequent talk, of candidates, is bringing many men to the front.

Senator Vest himself has friends who believe that he should be the nominee. One of the latest suggestions is the name of Senator White of California. His friends urge that his nomination would leave no doubt that the West would be solid for the ticket. They also urge that his record on the silver question- has been steadfast; that, while he has been outspoken for -silver, he has not been obnoxious, and that there would be less opposition-to him among eastern Democrats than to any other man. Boles and Bland.

(Iowa State Register:) The.New York Journal published large pictures of ex-Gov. Boies and ex-Representative over the question it sent to each of them: "Would you accept the nomination for President, if it were tendered to at the Chicago convention, on a free-sliver" 16-to-1 platform?" Ex-Gov. Boies answered that he -would accept, but ex-Representative Bland went still further in his answer: "Yes, and would be elected!" Why not nominate both of them, for the head and tall of the free, silver Democratic ticket? Boles and Bland will yoke up well together. Botea is partial to the B's, as Indicated the fact that his, ticket has hitherto oeen Boies and Bestow every time he has been nominated, and there is no doubt that Boies is now willing to accept Bland for the second place on the free-sllver Democratic national ticket. Kentucky's Trolley OIT.

(New York Tribune:) Kentucky, which has the finest women and horses, with some eood mon am inxiina a. very poor and second-class article of currency, sne probaihiy won't get, being rescued in some jprovldentlal Wav from the cnnswmpnpoa' nt Vtai. folly, But if she should get it. It will hoc xane ner ong to nna out that the Blue Grass Intellect Is much In need of occasional' clarification, this being one of the occasions. Her trolley Is and one of her political trains will presently be in the ditch.

Stevenson Still Mentioned. (New York. Mall and Express:) It Is believed that a great deal does depend nnon th panrDHfl-fA Tn a mnn Silver Dick Bland of.Missourl or Horace Boles of Iowa, for example. It would be extremely uimcuit lor Eastern Demo crats to give even tne pretense of nominal support. It is this feeling that is giving so much Impetus to' the.

(Toledo Blade:) Senator Brice is a sly old fox: He gives out that he will maxe no runner effort to control the Ohio convention, and at the same time his secretary is sending out circular let ters to leading gold Democrats ot the State telling them to "forward at once, as soon as chosen, the name, postoffice aaaress, occupation and business con nection of each delegate to the Stare convention." Mr. Brice is not the man to admit defeat before fighting a battle. The Heated World. (Chicago Inter Ocean:) The New York World could hot coax or threaten or force a letter from McKinlev. so it fishes up art old letter in which McKinley expressed an opinion favorable to silver In 1890 and works itself into a rage over it.

It Is as If a profligate, after squandering his patrimony in riotous folly, should turn about and abuse his brother for making necessary repairs tome iamny mansion.

There is-this to he said about it, however; that it did not stop bo suddenly as to leave everybody high and dry who was couriting on Its successful Issue.

IITWILLING- TO AID THE PROPOSED YOSEMITE RAILROAD. The Town May De Left In the Cold. Dlacuaaion Over the Reorganisation of the Northern Paclrto The Southern Pacific and the Santa Ana and Newport Line. A dispatch from San Francisco says.

A. L. Stetson and the other men In terested In the proposed railroad from Merced into the Yosemite Valley are very indignant at the refusal of the citizens of Merced to meet them halfway In the matter of terminal facilities and rights-of-way. General Manager A. L.

Stetson of the new road in talklnsr about the attitude of the Mer ced peopft toward his company, said: The people of Merced do not seem to be in sympathy with our enterprise and If that is bo I am opposed to building Into that We will have a meeting here on next Tuesday to defi nitely decide on our route. We had In tended to build a bridge over the Merced River at Snelling and run fourteen miles south Into I rather think now we will not touch Merced at all, but keep on the north side of the river altogether. Starting at Snelling we probably will run twenty-four miles west to the Southern Pacific's main line at or near either Ceres, Keyes, Turlock or Delhi. In that event we will change the name of the company to the Yo semite Valley Railway Company. East of Snelling we will run up the Merced Klver Canon to the Yosemite vauey.

am certain Congress will grant us permission to cross the Yosemite Na tional Park. Col. S. B. M.

The Herald this morning says: "There is much discussion among those concerned in the reorganization of the Northern Pacific Railroad as to the form of charter the company is to have, or whether It is inadvisable to foreclose the property at present in view of the fact tTiat Congress has failed to give the company a new charter. A story is afloat in Wall street to the effect that the failure of Congress to pass the expected legisla tion was partly due to the efforts of the bondholders of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad.

The res olutions authorizing the new charter, which were before the committee of Congress, stipulated that all property claims against the Northern Pacific were to be settled. According to the report the bondholders of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern had a claim of about $5,000,000 which the Northern Pacific had refused to readjust. The bonds of the Seattle road would guar antee the principal and interest of the Northern Pacific and when the former road was sold some time ago it was bought in by the Northern Pacific for The outstanding bonds amounted to $6,000,000. According to the report, the Seattle bondholders were so Indignant that they determined to block things at Washington. It is said one of their representatives appeared before the committee and ex plained that they were unable to get any satisfaction from the reorganization Committee of the Northern Pacific road.

The sale of the Northern Pacific road is to take place next month but as no action in regard to the new char ter was taken at this session of Con gress it Is considered likely that the sale will be postponed. A charter might be obtained from one of the States, but it would lack many of the valuable rights that are enjoyed by the old com pany under Its present charter.

Life Saved by Quick Action of Motorman.

But for the presence of mind and strength of hand of a motorman on the Traction line yesterday, a deaf old man might have gone to his long account, crushed under the, wheels of the heavy car. As one of the Traction cars was going north on Hill street yesterday, it stopped at Fifth street to allow a' Fifth-street car to pass. Just as the Traction car started up again, an Old1 man going diagonally across the street from the park to the northeast corner of Fifth and Hill streets, started to run. In order, to dodge a buggy coming from the north. He ran directly in front of the car.

Quick as thought, the motorman reversed his motor with hand, while he leaned forward and grasped the old man, pushing him back off the track with all the strength of the disengaged arm. The old man was struck by the car step, which rolled him over in the dust He Bprang up at once, saying that he was unhurt by the accident The car had only moved forward six 'feet after the motor, was reversed, but had It not' been for the quick action of the motorman, the luckless pedestrian would inevitably have gone under the car. When the old gentleman was dusted off and Interrogated, it was seen why he had thus tempted Providence. He was deaf, and had not had -time to ad-Just the ear-trumpet which hung around his neck. He gave his name as P.

C. Cook, but declined to give his address. In the future, one deaf old gentleman will probably try to make his eyes replace his ears when he is traveling on the tracks of electric cars, as it might hi long before he happened on another motorman with so much quickness of wit and strength of arm.

In the case of the Southern California Railway vs. Legge, a condemnation suit now on trial in Deparment Three, before Judge York, the Jury went to Pasadena yesterday, in charge of a deputy sheriff, to! view the land in controversy. the absence of the Jury the court listened to arguments by the attorneys in the case upon an important question of law.

Counsel lor the railway company seeks to exclude testimony offered in behalf of the defense to establish the value of the property sought to be condemned. The question involved relates to the measure of damages and involves the interpretation of a section of the code. The points raised are of great importance In all cases where it is sought to condemn a portion of only a piece of real estate. Substantially the same question was recently argued, though not yet decided, in a suit by the Southern Pacific to condemn land at Pomona. Gates'a Insanity.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLING FROSI THE PEOPLE'S STORE, He Waa at the Head of the Dress Goods Department In A. Hamburger Son' Establishment. Goods In Court.

Judge Smith's department was occupied throughout yesterday In the trial of L. Lewith, charged with embezzling goods from A. Hamburger Sons' mercantile establishment in this city, commonly known as "The People's Store." A Jury waa secured early in the forenoon. The dress goods and trimmings were brought into court in trunks, and the bar presented the appearance of a fancy dress goods department on a limited basis. manner in which the attorneys and experts inspected and handled the fancy silk plaids and velvets would have been convincing to one not familiar with the circumstances that a bevy of new women were to be togged out in the most approved style by their male admirers.

D. A. Humburger, of the firm, was the first witness called. He identified a number of pieces and was as nearly positive as a man could rsasonably be regarding the other odds and ends of woman's attire. He admitted that only a part of his time was piven to the store here, the firm being also iater-ested in establishments In San Francisco and New York.

The further admission was made that he is a lawyer and regularly admitted to practice in this State, but he declared that he had not practiced law nor opened a law book since 3883. These admissions were drawn out by the defendant's attorneys under a severe cross-examination. T. A. Genn and W.

E. Chamberlain were witnesses for th prosecution. The latter has been connected with the firm in this city for nearly ten years, nnd occupies the. position receiver and marker of goods. He positively identified the goods as havius been taken out of the dress goods and auxiliary departments.

Lewith was in charge of the dress goods department and had occupied that position for about a Ir will be remembered the goods were discovered in two trunks at his home in East Los Angeles a little" over two months ago. T. A. Genn has not been connected with "The People's Store" for a few months, bit identified some plecs of goods as having been in the establishment during his employment by the firm. Hamburger and Chamberlain's valuations of goods were very on the several articles.

In one or two instances Genn's was much higher, a piece of fancy-harred silk being valued by him at J2.6D a yard; the others valued at per yard. The cause will be resume-! at 10 o'clock- this morning, and it may be finally submitted to the jury this evening. BROOKS'S SIGNATURE, His Clerk Wrote Cloaer to Nature. Arguments Tuesday.

A deposition of Lincoln Smith Was Introduced, and several witnesses, were, put in the box and gave" evidence tending to bhow the utter unreliability of the deponent for truth, honesty and veracity. A certain letter having been Intro duced, alleged to have accompanied the check for $150, and stating that the cnecK was in full payment for all eer vices, was disproved by the testimony of L.

F. Rotsler and that of Brooks in his own behalf. Rotsler testified that Brooks was in Washington at the time the letter and check were received, and that he indorsed Brooks's name upon it and went to the bank and had it en tered to his (Brooks's) credit. He de clared that no such statement as that alleged regarding it being in full payment was written in the letter; that had such been the case he would not have cashed the check without telegraphing Brooks for instructions. Some explanations were now called out In regard to the witness signing checks without any other designation and in lac simile of Brooks's individual Fiena ture.

He declared that he attended to all correspondence, cashed and wrote checks and always lirned Marion Brooks" In the best Imitation possible of his chief's signature during the year ne was nis omce. As the indorse ment on this check was in Brooks's best handwriting, the ability cf the witness's penmanship was doubted, and pen and Ink were produced, and Rotsler Immediately wrote out the signature readily and life-like. It was examined by all the attorneys, and a bread smile went round. Brooks Immediately wrote his name, but Rotsler had beaten him; Brooks wrote a little nervously, ana au aeciarea mai nis cierx Had dis tanced him in the reproduction of his usual signature!
