S;m Francim'o, Nov. 23.--Tin- Baldwin
Hot< I caught fire < ii ly this morning and
was entirely destroyed.
There were MOO pioplc, guests and em
ployes in the hotel when the fire broke
out and a nunibe.r of these are thought to
have lost tehir lives. J. AV. White was
on<*of the victims hut before he gave up
hi- life the gallant fellow saved the lives
-of three women.
The tire i- .-aid to have started in teh
kitchen, located in the basement on Ellis
street. The fire worked its way up through
tlie fine to the sixth floor and before the
Hirst alarm wan sent in the fire gained
great headway.
Thousands of people were attracted by
the succession of alarms and the glare
from the burning building, and before the
police sjn tchtd .ropes they almost, block -
aded the four streets.
For yeat - the Baldwin has been regard
ed by the fire department a« the most
dangerous fire trap In San Franc!ffl*>_ It.
was built of wood, six stories high, with a
narrow, tortuous hallway. II is a wonder
that half of the people In the hotel cs
•eaped. They were slow Io awaken. 'Many
'Were d.’izi d and stuplfied by the smoke
when the police, firemen and hotel em
ployes. hurrying through the hallways,
kicked open the. doors and notified the
people of their great danger. When they
managed to reach the windows and the
fire escapes there were no ladders and
many attempted to Jump from the win
dows. but were warned not to do so by
the crowds below. Then firemen got up
ladders and commenced to take people to
the ground, rescuing many in this manner.
In the interior of the hotel .an explosion
in the theater caused fti.it portion of the
building to. cave In. This explosion also
extinguished tlje electric lights through
out the building. There were many peo
ple in the tipper hals ami corridors at that
time nod the firemen and the policemen
'were trying to lead them to the Market
and Bower street windows.
The entire top of the hotel was a blaz
ing mass and those on the streets below
could see through the smoke along the
eornicis the forms of men and women
crouched and clinging to the woodwork,
which was already beginning Io smoulder.
Streiims from thirty engines were being
poured upon the burning building from |
every point of advantage, but without any
apparent effect.
Explosion folowcd explosion: the roof of
the building collapsed taking with it back
into the building a number of thoec cling
ing for life to the.attic gables.
Three women appeared on the cornice of
the Market street side. The firemen could
not reach them with the ladders and they
stood helpless and -ensaming with terror.
Suddenly White came out of the window
carrying a small rope. With this he lower
ed the women into the arms of the fire
men who were waiting a* the windows of
, the next floor. then he started down the
rope, band over hand. Half way down
the rope parted and the man who bad just
staved three lives was dashed to the pave
ment 100 feet below.
•'Lucky" Baldwin had a narrow escape
from iwrfcshlng. \tnid all the din he
slept ]H'avrfully until his room was broken
into and he was dragged from his bed.
One of the most thrilling incidents of
tlhe fire was the rescue of L H Christie by
Fiirtn.ni Keough. For a few minutes
Christie ran to and fro on the cornice of
the Fifth floor, seeking tn vain for some
way to escape the rapidly approach ins
flames. Fireman Keough, after many ef
forts. managed to reach him and bring
• him down In safety.
■The Baldwin Hotel has been known and
dtviuled for yeans .by the firemen and the |
'insurance people as the worst kind of fire ’
trail. I: was stated oft er that there were
jio fire wall in it‘except those Inclosing the
(ihentvr. and no insurance, company would
write a risk on the building except for a
<u«ll amount and at a heavy premium.
Tlw total cost of the hotel, including the
grout d ->nd furniture was three million
dollart.
In the building was the 'Baldwin theater.
The street floors of the immense building
•were occupied by hotel offices, bar room
rtnd a number of stores. In the basefnent
was ar. elaborately fitter case. Mr. Bald
win stated today that he carried a hun

WILSON ESCAPES.
Insurance Swindler Makes a Bold Dash for
Liberty.
By' Associated Press.
Tifton, Ga., Nov. 23.—Dr. Hugh Wil
son, implicated in the Worth county in
surance swindle, who was confined under
custody of the law at his home near Tif
ton, has escaped, and the efforts of the
officers so far to locate him have failed.
Wilson pretended to be badly injured as
the result of a wound received from one
of his captors w-hen he was arrested some
weeks ago. His physician advised that, he
be confined to his home, as his condition
hardships of jail life.
*' Wilson, guarded by two officers, was
thought secure at his home, but hesproved
himself more than a match for his two
guards, and while they were watching at
the front and back entrances he made
good his escape through a hole in the
floor.
It will be remembered that Dr. Hugh
Wilson with his accoplices, Patterson and
Ramsaur, the agents for three life insur
ance companies, attempted to swindle
three companies out of 7,500 by insuring
the life of a man already nearly dead with
consumption.
It appeared in the evidence before the
grand jury that .Mrs. Wilson, wife of Dr.
Wilson, was made the benficiary of one
of the policies for $2,500. The company
wrote J. K.»Patterson their agent, asking
who Mrs. Wilson was. To this letter Dr.'
Wilson, who acted as amanuensis for all,
answered and told them that Mrs. Wil
son (his wife) was the nurse of 'Wadkins,
the man insured, and waited on him when
he was ill,
Pattenson and Ramsaur were safely
lodged in jail, but Wilson escaped, and'af
ter a two-day’s chase was overtaken and
captured, but not until a load of buckshot
had been fired into him. His physicians
pronounced him too badly wounded to be
carried to jail, and he was left at his
home under guard. (
But it seems that he decieved both his
guards and physicians as to his true con
dition, and the guards were kept outside
his room door. He cut a hole through the
floor, underneath the carpet of his room,
and made good his escape, leaving no
trace behind him.
AVilson is a South 'Carolinian and a re
cent convert to the Republican party. He
came to Worth county last year to accept
the post office nt Sylvester.

By Associated Press.
Port Townsend, Wn., Nov. 23. —The
number of lives lost in the rush to Alaska
in search of gold will probably never be
known, and the manner in which hundred®
of persons who have met death in the wilds
of Alaska will ever remain the subject of
speculation among friends and relatives.
The latest reports tell of the fate of
eighteen persons who are said to have
been, killed while trying to enter the Kus
kokwill river last June on the little steam
er Jesse. The story has just been brought
from that section in a letter to Barneson
& Chilcote, who were part owners 'in the
wrecked steamer.
The letter was written by a hunter and
trader on the Nunivak Island, one hundred
. miles from the mouth of the Kuskokwill,
and in it he claims to have positive infor
mation that all hands were rescued from
the steamer and that they reached the
shore in the breakers only to meet death
at the hands of savages.
According to Marsten’s letter, his wife,
who is an Indian woman, paid a visit to
her relatives at the mouth of Kuskokwill
river shortly after the wreck of the Jesse.
While there she attended a feast given by
the Indians during the progress of which
the Indians got drunk on‘a kind of liquor
made by themselves. While indulging in
the general debauch they quarreled over
the possession of certain articles taken
from the murdered shipwrecked crew.
Her suspicions were arounsed by seeing
them in possession of many valuable arti
cles of wearing apparel, watches, breech
loading rifles and an abundant supply of
provisions. She made inquiry of her old
grandmother, who related to her how,
when the Jesse and the barge Minerva
went ashore, the Indians assisted in saving
the Whites and the cargo of the -barge and
after the w’hiites had established a camp
the Indians had demanded pay for their
services. They wanted nearly everything
the whites had, not leaving them enough
to last the party through the winter. The
whites offered a reasonable amount, which
did not satisfy the Indians, who immedi
taely commenced planning 'to take posses
sion of everything.
'A council was held and it was decided to
kill all the whites, which was rone the
next night while they were asleep. The
'bodies were taken to the sea in canoes and
thrown overboard. Nothing w'.i known of
the fate of the unfortunate prospectors for
nearly a month after the wreck, when sev
eral of the bodies came 'ashore badly de
composed.
The Indians then reported that the Jesse
and the -barge had been wrecked and that
all had been lost.
Report was made to an agent of -the
Alaska Commercial Company, who visited
the scene and identified the ‘bodies of Cap
tain Murphy and Rev. Mr. Webber, a Mo
ravian missionary, who. with his w-dfe and
nfaiild, joined the expedition at Dutch har-»
bor and was going to establish a mission
among the savageee Who murdered him.
It is further stated that the Kuskokwill
Indians threaten to stop the whites from
prospecting in the Kuskokwill country, as
they claim it is their hunting an.l fishing
reserve.
TEN HOUR LAW.
Roosevelt is Strongly of the
Opinion that it Should
Be Enforced.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 23.—-Governor-elect
Roosevelt has held a conference with sev
eral labor officials and other men inter
ested in social -and labor problems. There
were present Henry W. Hite, general sec
retary of the United Garment Workers of
North America; William Derflinger, of
Typographical Union No. 6; Henry Wess
man, ex-secretary of the International Ba
kesr Union; James Reynolds, general sec
retary of the University settlement; Geo.
Gufiton, editor of a periodical devoted to
economy questions, and others.
Col. Roosevelt expressed the opinion that
it will be best to enforce the existing
statutes affecting the labor problem rather
than to make new statutes. He agreed
given to the state factory inspection de
partment should be the chief means of
improving the workshop conditions in the
meeting of sanitation and child labor.
The suggestion was made by one of the
conferees -that tbe inspection of scaffold
ing should be taken from the jvolice and
given to the state fateory inspection de
partment. The governor-elect’s attention
was called to the fact that -the ten-hour
law for surface street railways is almost
totally ignored. Col. Roosevelt expressed
himself forcibly on this subject and favor
ably received the suggestion that this law
should be enforced by the state factory in
spection department. It was suggested
that the factory inspection law be so
amended that all shops must obtain a per
mit or license before -they can become a
“scene of industry.’’ Such a law is said
to be in successful operation in Massachu
setts. It was argued that such a lAv
will enable the inspection department to
more readily supervise workshops. 'Col.
Roosevelt assured the labor officials that
he would enforce every statute bearing on
the labor question.

MORE TIME FOR
CONSIDERATION
Has Been Asked by the Span
ish Peace Commission
ers and Granted.
IT IS A GOOD SIGN.
•
That They Intend to Yield to the
Demands of this Country—No
Time Set for Meeting,
By Associated Press.
• Ports, Nov. 23. —At the request of the
request of the .Spanish peace commission
ers there will be no joint session today,
pending instructions from Madrid.
The date for the next meeting is not
fixed. The postponement is regarded as a
hopeful sign that the treaty will 'be signed.
While the Madrid government has not
received the text of the American ultima
tum, the Spanish ministers have received
quite enough by telegraph to enable them
to instruct the commissioners to retire
were such their intentions.
The belief was expressed by several of
the American commissioners in conversa
tion today, that before the expiration of
the time fixed by the Americans, Monday
next, the Spaniards will acquiesce with the
United States’ 'Philippine offer and that
ultimately the treaty will be signed by all
the Spanish commissioners.
The course which Rios, the president of
the Spanish commission follows is still un
certain, as he continues to “play to the
gallery,” but a leading member of the
American commission .believes that he will
sign with the other Spaniards. In any
case his place on the commission can be
speedily filled, probably by Leon Castillo,
the Spanish ambassador here.
(Senor Montero Rios sent a communica
tion to the American commissioners last
night asking a number of questions. The
most important of them and to get an an
swer to which the latter undoubtedly had
written, was tucked away in the middle of
the letter. It asked, in effect, if the
Americans really meant that the ultima
tum must .be answered by Monday. The
Spaniards were assured that such was the
intent and answer that has cleared the
air. A member of the Spanish commission
today assured the correspondent of the As
sociated 'Press that the next meeting of
of the commissioners will take
place on Friday and Saturday and
that Spain’s answer then will be the last
that she will make and that it will be a
definite conclusion of the matter in hand.
This utterance is looked upon .as indicating
that Spain will sign the treaty of peace.
SITUATION REVIEWED.
Evidences that the Spaniards Will,Yield to
the Demands.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 23.—A dispatch to the
World from Paris says:
That Soain has decided to yield to Am
erican demands regarding the Philipines
is shown by the act that twenty-four
hours after the so-called ultimatum was
delivered she has asked for an explana
tion of the effect of her surrender upon
the comparatively minor features of the
negotiation.
Montero Rios, president of the Spanish
peace commission, seht to President Day
of the American commission, at noon
Tuesday a request for the elucidation of
the following points:
1. Whether or not if the Philipines are
ceded to the United States that'nation will
take them free of all subsisting rights and
obligations.
2. Whether or not the American offer to
give Spanish ships and goods the same
privileges in the Philippines as American
ships and goods is intended to cover ves
sels and goods of other nations in accord
ance with the “open door” policy.
3. Whether or not in return for the re
lease by Spain of prisoners charged with
political offenses connected with the in
surrections in Cuba and Porto Rico the
United States will liberate the Spanish
prisoners held by the Togallos and the
Cubans.
4. What previous treatties referred 'to
in the American note are to be revived.
s—Where5 —Where the United States desires to
land forcible stations. .Whether in the
Spanish colonies or on the peninsula.
6. Whether or not the American sug
gestion that if Spain should accept the
propositions conferences on other points
would follow meant that if the propositions
were not accepted the conferences would
not be continued.
The World’s correspondent has no au
thority to say regarding the second ques
tion that .while the United States will ad
mit general commerce free to the Philip
pines Spain alone will have the privilege
of the intercoasting trade.
Concerning the fifth question it may be
said with the utmost confidence that the
United Statee government has no inten
tion of asking for a cable station on the
peninsula.
As to the sixth question the American
proposition does not mean that the-confer
ences would cease if the terms were not
agreed to.
The World correspondent hears that
Montero Rios, having sought the advise
of the French foreign minister as to the
wisdom of trying by dilatory tactics to
throw on the Americans the responsibility
for a rupture of the negotiations, has been
strongly advised not to take this course,
but to yield to American demands.

Question,
TRADE IS VERY DULL
> And the Outlook is Bad in New Eng'
land—Wants the Industrial
Commission'Established.
By Associated Press.
Boston, Nov. 23.—At the annual meet
ing of the associated state board of trad<
President Charles S. Adams said:
“The war being practically ended laboi
and capital have a right to demand that
their interest shal not be jeopardized 01
. prosperity delayed by any doubtful ter
ritorial expansion.
Trade will follow the flag only asweart
able to a.u: mpetition of other nations
I and we cannot deny them commercial
i rights to our colonial possessions without
» expecting to receive the same treatmenl
in return. K
!, “What this country needs is market ex
pansion for our products and the best way
' ot secure that result is by making known
to all markets that we manufacture and
i can furnish the most desirable and besi
goods for the money that are produced in
I any industrial centre.”
President Adams referred to loss
’ suffered by the United States in saving
freight and passengers carried to foreign
i countries in foreign vesels and said that
■ our statesmen ought to find the remedy
and speedily apply it Jo the expensive evil.
He also recommended that the Massachu
setts state board of trade continue its ef
fort to bring about the establishment of
the proposed national department of in
dustry and commerce..
The commision on manufacturers re
ported that the committee on business is
in even- worse condition than it was a
year ago. The worsted and woolen busi
ness is also very dull.
J. iH. Parker, of Lynn, described the
present condition of the shoe trade. Con
stant cut downs in wages in New Eng
land had resulted in reducing the con
suming power of the people.
The speaker protested against the con
tinual effort to reduce wages, for it was
suicidal to business.
Mr. Crcshore, of Peabody, reponding for
the leather trade, stated that the volume
of the leather business was growing less
and less for there was a tendency to carry
it where 'bark could be obtained more
cheaply. The leather workers, he said,
are in much the same condition as the
textile workers.
THEY GO TONIGHT.

■ The -Macon football team wiill leave to

The Macon boys went to Jacksonville
last year at the same time, but were de
feated by a score of 12 to 0. This year
they are determined to wipe out that score
and intend to defeat the Jacksonville boys
if possible.

A Short Session—Petition of Carnival Asso
ciation Refused.
The city council held its regular session
last night. All of the aidermen were
present except Aiderman Winship, who is
in Florida. The session was one of the
shortest that has been held in some time
and it only lasted fifteen minutes.
Only two petitions were presented at the
meeting. The petition of the merchants
requesting that the sidewalk signs which
had been ordered removed to be allowed
to remain. Mrs. Bannon also filed a pe
tition for damages as a result of her son
who was riding a bicycle, running into a
hole on Fifth street and sustaining seri
ous injuries.
The committee on public property re
ported favorably on the petition of the
Boston Bloomers baseball club for the use
of the park on Thanksgiving day. The
team will play a team of JJnited States
soldier.!.
The petition of the Macon Carnival As
sociation, for the appropriation of m ore
money to help defray the expenses

gave as its reason that it was too near
the end of the year and that the money
»in the treasury was rather short
No ordinances or resolutions were in
troduced and the council adjourned on
motion.
