San Francisco, Feb. 8 —David Bennett Hill of New York is about to make the strongest bid of his lite for the Presidential chair and Maurice Schmidt bas arrived here to commence the work of organizing the State in his interests. Schmidt may be unfamiliar to the latter-day politicians, but those who reme uber the “goud old days” when Chris, Buckley ‘was dominat will ‘readily recall Schmidt the early time Comstock broker, as one of his most active and most able lieutenants. After Buck ey’s retirement Schmidt went to New York where he has re mained off and on ever since: To his iutimate friends he bas since his recent arrival in this city declared the purpose of his visit and has told of the xceat fight Hill proposes to put “ap broughout the country. Schmidt was selected for the Oalifornia field because of his intimate and practical acquuintance with the-local conditions ind similarly qualified envoys have been sent, to every other part of the Union, thus inaugurating a sweeping and far-reaching crusade. As it is almost a certainty that Rocsevelt will be the next Republican nominee for Pres ident, the contest for supremacy four years from now will bea mighty keen one, with Hill at the head of the Democratic ticket, “Teddy” will know that ne bas a fight upon his hands.

One House Entirely Destroyed and A other Somewhat . jured. An alarm of fire was turned in at about 12:30 o'clock today and it was bat a short time till the firemen were en their way to new Chinatown with their hose wagons, in which direction volumes of smoke could be seen ascendiog skyward. Hose Company No, 1 found on arriving at the scene that two houses, occupied by Ohinamen, we.e on fire. One of the buildings was almost entirely destroyed but th» fire men succeeded in saving the other by turning on the water, and it was not damaged much other than that done by the water. The house which was destroyed, as well as the one that was saved, belonged to Mrs. Ge rge W. Reeke aud was not considered to be of much value. How the fire started is not known and perhaps never will be as the flames had gained coosiderable headway before they were noticed. The house that was saved by the firemen is now the only one sta .d— ing on that side of the street, the others all having been burned down at differ ent times during the p: st few ) e.rs, While Pennsylvania Engine Company No 2 was ou th-ir way to the fire the horse that was pulling their wagon wus anable te get it up the bill, and in tree was broken. As Ovumpany No. 1 bad the fire ander control :No. 2 Company returned their hose wagon to its house but many of its members helped to put out the fire. While the firemen and Chinamen were engaged in putting out the fire and helping to save various articles from the burning buildings, a number of boys delighted themselves by throwing snowballs at them. Arrests will surely follow if this is attempted again, as it is indeed enough for our firemen to risk their lives, g&t covered with mad, etc, without being compelled to put themevlves up as targets for hoodlums to throw at.

San Francisco, Feb. 8 —David Bennett Hill of New York is about to make the strongest bid of his lite for the Presidential chair and Maurice Schmidt bas arrived here to commence the work of organizing the State in his interests. Schmidt may be unfamiliar to the latter-day politicians, but those who reme uber the “goud old days” when Chris, Buckley ‘was dominat will ‘readily recall Schmidt the early time Comstock broker, as one of his most active and most able lieutenants. After Buck ey’s retirement Schmidt went to New York where he has re mained off and on ever since: To his iutimate friends he bas since his recent arrival in this city declared the purpose of his visit and has told of the xceat fight Hill proposes to put “ap broughout the country. Schmidt was selected for the Oalifornia field because of his intimate and practical acquuintance with the-local conditions ind similarly qualified envoys have been sent, to every other part of the Union, thus inaugurating a sweeping and far-reaching crusade. As it is almost a certainty that Rocsevelt will be the next Republican nominee for Pres ident, the contest for supremacy four years from now will bea mighty keen one, with Hill at the head of the Democratic ticket, “Teddy” will know that ne bas a fight upon his hands.

One House Entirely Destroyed and A other Somewhat . jured. An alarm of fire was turned in at about 12:30 o'clock today and it was bat a short time till the firemen were en their way to new Chinatown with their hose wagons, in which direction volumes of smoke could be seen ascendiog skyward. Hose Company No, 1 found on arriving at the scene that two houses, occupied by Ohinamen, we.e on fire. One of the buildings was almost entirely destroyed but th» fire men succeeded in saving the other by turning on the water, and it was not damaged much other than that done by the water. The house which was destroyed, as well as the one that was saved, belonged to Mrs. Ge rge W. Reeke aud was not considered to be of much value. How the fire started is not known and perhaps never will be as the flames had gained coosiderable headway before they were noticed. The house that was saved by the firemen is now the only one sta .d— ing on that side of the street, the others all having been burned down at differ ent times during the p: st few ) e.rs, While Pennsylvania Engine Company No 2 was ou th-ir way to the fire the horse that was pulling their wagon wus anable te get it up the bill, and in tree was broken. As Ovumpany No. 1 bad the fire ander control :No. 2 Company returned their hose wagon to its house but many of its members helped to put out the fire. While the firemen and Chinamen were engaged in putting out the fire and helping to save various articles from the burning buildings, a number of boys delighted themselves by throwing snowballs at them. Arrests will surely follow if this is attempted again, as it is indeed enough for our firemen to risk their lives, g&t covered with mad, etc, without being compelled to put themevlves up as targets for hoodlums to throw at.
