which threatened' the destruction of
the general hospital at the Presidio In
which thero nro over seven hundred
patients broke out at four-flfteen
O'clock this morning In the hospital
laundry. A. general alarm was sound-
ed and besides the regular post Are
organization a hundred soldiers turned
out to flght tno (tames. The laundry
building -was destroyed but by tre-
mendous efforts tho flro was confined
to that building aid! did not reach tho
hospital a few yards away.
Some friction having arisen be-
tween the Chinese and tho authorities
On the question of tho location of the
new Chinatown n moetlng was hold
today with the object of straightening
out tho difficulty. Present woro Chi

mittee on Chinese. Tho Chinese rep-
resentatives declared that they wero
acting unofficially and only wished to
bring about somo arrangement that
would bo satisfactory to all concern-
"ed They expressed pleasure at tho
kindly treatment that had been ac-
corded the Chinese refugees. It was
explained to thsnulhat there was not
the least disposition to oppress the
Chlneso or to drive them from the city.
The foreign diplomats suggested that
tho Ideal condition would bo for their
countrymen to settle as they pleased
but Admitted that congrpgJUIon in same
locality would perhaps b& better for
practical purposes. They thought that
tho only way to remove the Chinese
from old Chinatown would bo to give
thorn a plaro olsowbero that would bo
acceptable for their purpose when
they might bo willing to mve. Somo
of tho land in Chinatown Is owned by
"Chinese who have said that they would
rebuild and lawyers say that it will
bo difficult to refuse them building
permits If they can show that thoy
propose to conform to all legal re-
quirements. Tho meeting closed to-
day without any definite result having
been obtained. Tomorrow Mr. Reuf
will tour the city to look for an ac-
ceptable permanent location for China-
town and will report to the general
committee.

mineral ontrloa la been filed In
Comanche county iJtKtt In Klowti 40.
and in Caddo 39. There nro a few
other such filings In other ocuntles
according to Mr. Wenner's opinion but
the list would bo. Very small compared
with tho countioa named. As U:o ma
jority of theso mineral claims art for
placox mining It may he fairly oatl-
Tun tod that oach mlnoral claimant has
filed on twenty acres of land or a total
of 31840 acres of school land coVored
by mlnoral claims. It is this amount
of land! that tho Wwrron amendment to
tho statehood bill seeks to take away
from tho territory and glvo in Hon
thereof; land In oxtrem postern Ok-
lahoma of little value In comparison
with tho lands in the mineral fields.

Whil wholly In sympathy with all
.moYomonts for tho relief of tho San
Francisco ftufferers. L. V. Baxter.
Buporlntondent of public instruction of
Oklahoma considers that It Is going
too far to rc.i the sohoOls of the coun-
try to ralso funds for tho rebuilding of
San Francisco schopls. Tho general
relief work Is commundnblo. but ho
considers thai when it comes to tho
matter of schools. It would bo moro
fitting to do tomethlng for the relief of
Indian Territory. Inasmuch as congross
withholds tho rollef which would bo
brought about by statehood. Ho fa-
vors an organized movomont to so-
ocre tho enactment of romo sort of
sckool laws for Indian Territory.
"California a rich state has school
laws ample to provide her with a fine
sy8tom of schools" ho said. "Indian
Territory has none onn got neno fnd
can hnvo no schools of any sort ex-
cept whero thoy nro provided by local
authorities. In San Francisco thoro
woro something ovor 460000 pooplo.
In Indian Territory thoro nro ovor
750000 ipooplo all wltlwut tohool lnws
' j kUoo man untn oongross shnll
hav passed tho statehood hill. It Is
a safo ostlmato that thoro tre 100000
children In Indian Territory without
the benefits of schools If tho condi-
tion of San Francisco ns regards
schools Ig doplorablo then tho condi-
tion In Indian Territory 1 doplorablo
to tho superlative degree. For tho
obtaining of la'v for Indian. Territory
tho sympathy and aflsUfauco of the
children of tho United States should
bo interested lotting then know that
congress is withholding rom Indian
Territory boH law and schools. San
Francisco relief stud statehood
both propurly rush meastiros and It
would havo been a good thing If ns I
havo boon suggested tho atatohood
bill had been attached to the moas-
uro recently rushed through oongresa
to piovhlo means for tho relief of San
