adding to the distress of the homeless.
In several instances people in houses
refused to admit women and children
in distress and the militia broke down
the doors with the butts of their rifles.

There are many complaints that
storekeepers are charging the home

by the military authorities to investi

Arthur Jones, a teamster, was ar

10,000 Acres Burned Over.
San Francisco? April 27.—After' a
careful survey*' the engineers of the
board o? public works estimate that
the area swept by the fire is about
10,000 acres, or about fifteen square
miles. There are few cities in the
world where so much valuable prop
erty was contained in an equal terri
torial area. "Within thd district were
nearly 100 banks alone, some of the
finest office buildings outside of New
York, thousands of mercantile ancj
manufacturing establishments, abd
about 250,000 inhabitants, together
with about 25,000 transients.
These faets may give some idea of
the size of the. ruin and of the loss
involved, but they also emphasize the
small loss of life from earthquake, fire
and shooting. For the death list may
npt go over 700 and will almost cer
tainly reach 1,000. This is a striking
proof of the masterly manner In which

PROTECTION TO LABOR ONE OF

'J'.K
Large Audience Enjoys Addreps of
Secretary of the Treasury Before
Missouri League of Republican
Clubs at St, Louis-—Masterly Dis
cussion of Republican Meals.
St. Louis, Mo., April 27.—a repre
sentative audience of Missouri repub
licans, greeted Secretary of the Treas
ury Leslie M. Shaw in Exposition Mu
sic hall last night and hailed him as a
prospective candidate for^ president of
the United States.
Mr. Shaw said in pfirt:
"Pol}tica\ parties are indispensable
to republics. Forrilulated political
principles belleyed in, well defined and
clearly expressed, political policies ad
hered to are essential to the perpe
tuity and progress of the nation.
'Permit-meto refer briefly to one of
the affirmative principles of the repub
lican party a principle that was ns
correct and as capable of definite
statement in the days of "thomap Jef
ferson as in the days of Theodort
Roosevelt a principle that has never
been put in operation in this country
without bringing prosperity to all otir
people, and that has never been aban
doned without universal ruin. On the
historic correctness of these proposi
tions let the republican party stand rr
fall.
Protection to Labor.
"The republican party believes1 in
protection to American labor. Origin
ally it was thought that our industries
needed protection- until they should
tlclpated that adherence to the policy
of protection would create a standard
of wages fully 50 per cent higher tiiafi
that of any ..other country, and more
than 100i per cent higher than the av
erage,standard of the world. Had'con
ditions continued as early protection
ists supposed they would, and bad all
the world opened its markets to. all
people on equaTterms, the expressed
thought of the fathers would have
been verified In our experiences. Pro
tection, however, has been beneficial
in unexpected ways. It ".has created a
scale of wages and established a stan
dard of living to which "the outside
world is a stranger, and renders nec
essary the continuation of protection
or the abandonment of these high
standards.
Producers and Consumers.
'.'Let me state the principle more
clearly. Every industrious citizen is
a producer. He may ^produce a day's
work when he sells in the labor mar
ket. He may be a consumer of labor
and a producer of farm or of factory
products. He may produce changes of
merchandise or exchanges of credits,
or he may produce transportation. Any
one who by. his efforts adds to the sum
total of our production, or In any way
incj-ea^ps,,the aggregate of. our com
merce^ is a producer. Then we are all,
whether Industrious or not, consumers.
We consume food and clothes and

The Campaign of 1896,
'""Mi
Des Moines,' Aprjl 27.—George D.
Perkins of Sioux City, cindidata for
governor In opposition to Governor
Cummins, made his first public aj
pearance In the. "enemy's country"
last night. He addressed a large audi
ence in Foster's opera house in this
city, and It is expected Governor
Cummins will answer him tonight, as
his friends have a house engaged,
though .no announcement of a meeting
yet Is made.
The Polk county primaries will be
held, next Tuesday, and Perkins'
friends are making desperate efforts
to make a good showing In Cummins'
home county. For that reason Mr
Perktns was brought here for a speech
On the stage were about a hundred old
soldiers, and as Mr. PFerklns entered
each veteran rose to his feet anl all
who could get near him grasped his
hand.
The people of Des Moines gave the
Sioux City candidate a cordial rec\?p«
tlon. Former Governor Frank D. Jack
son presided and introduced the speak
er.
"They talk about the i?sue being
railroads, if you please," said. he
They may try to throw dust in your
eyes about the corporations, but I tell
you that there is ho man who stands
for one single proposition as .'does the
present governor of Iowa, and that-Ifr*
the Immediate ,revision of the tariff,
anfl-Ursplte of all the prosperity Of tfife'
United States he proposes to deWaha
that IoWa stand with Massachusetts
In demanding that revision."
Mr. Jackson urged that this wap the
only issue, and said nothing would
more stimulate the immediate revision
of the tariff than for Iowa to single?
out the one man who represents this
idea and elect him for governor for a
third term. HO compared Governor
Cummins to the man, who rocked the
boat at the picnic party and turaed the
picnic into a funeral
Pays Respects to Cummins.
When Mr. Perkins arose to speak
the applause was hearty and continued
for some time. Mr. Per Kins said he
deeply regretted the republican party
in the state was engaged In such a
bitter pre-convention fight. It had
been the custom in Iowa that after a
governor had two term* he would re
tire and give back, the office to the
people who gave it to him.
"I don't know as I have achieved*
much of a reputation as a fighter,'
said Mr. Perkins, "but if I haven't
something of that sort in my makeup
wouldn't be here tonight. I am here
to defend my record from insinuations.
I am here by executive order to de

against the company I keep. It Is said

PERKINS WIN8.IN RINGOLD CO UN
•VTY RENOMINATION OF
HEPBURN A88URED
Des Moines, April 27.—(Special).—
Mr. Perkins won a victory over Gov
eirnor Cummins in Ringgold county
yesterday. The primaries in that
county were held yesterday afternoon
and, up to midnight, with Mount Ayr
and Washington townships to be heard
from, Mr. Perkins has 79 delegates in
the county convention to 32 for Gov
ernor Cummins. ', The vote in Mount
Ayr was close, but it was thought at
last reports that that township had
also gone for Perkins. There will be
132 delegates In the county convention,
of which 67 constitutes a majority.
Thus Mr. Perkins will have the con
ventlon by a handsome majority over
Cumthlns.
The result of the contest takes away
any lingering hope Governor Cummins
may have had of carrying any of the
twenty-nine counties in the southern
three tiers of counties in the state.
More than that, it makes it certain that
Colonel Hepburn will be nominated
for another term in congress without
opposition, for the result in Ringgold
eliminates Mr. Smith from the congres
sional race.
