The Columbia Fe male College building, one of the oldest and most thoroughly equipped college v structures in South Carolina, was dis covered .to be on fire Friday morning. The building was damaged to the amount of $5,000. The fire originated in the roof over the fourth floor dor mitory of the western wing and was dif ficult for firemen jto get at. It is sup-4 posted to have been caused by a defect ive flue and to have been burning dur ing the night. It had great- headway when discovered. The young ladies, over 100 of them, were at "morning study" in the chap el. When the alarm was sounded there was contcrnation,'but the girls were not panicky . . Many of them lost all of their wardrobe,' jewels, watches and other eflects." ..hey were all gotten out of the structure and the citizens hastened to throw open their homes to them. They are all quartered in private resi-; deuces in Columbia. The firemen fought the flames for two hours and a half before they extinguished- the fire. .The buildiding was insured for $27,000 and the furniture for 2,500. Uloped Wltlva Twelve-Year-Old Child.

Government of Monopolies The People's party conference called to meet in St. Louis pec. 28 and 29, was well, attended. The call for a meeting of the national committee in cluded an uvitation to members of the Reform Press and others who felt dis posed to confer with the committee. jWhen the meeting was called to order (by Chairman- Taubeneck about 300 Populists were assembled to take part ia the proceedings. , The result of the. meeting was the, issuing! of an address setting forth the situation and urging the necessity pi keeping! up the fight Wgainst the encroachments of organized (monopolies, The following, is a full Itext of the address: !

The gold power and bank ing interesls are insisting through the President and his ' secretary of the treasury that the enlarged issue of our currency supply shall be given- -exclusively into thevhaiids of the banks; that silver shall be excluded, all treas ury notes retired and that gold alone shall be the legal tender thus making the monetary question an issue which must be met at once. .

This is justice, right and equity. But Shy lock j is displeased with this kind of work and hasfiaken several cases up to the SupremeJ court and expects that august (j?) bod will re verse the judgmentsof these dftuitable district judges in favor of the confisca tion and redemption policy uracticed. by the majority of the DistrrcWcourts. The people, however, irited a money snaric usury taker, ana a man who cared more for the affair I of New or gov- York city than for Kansas, j ernor,and a plutocratic corno! tion at- torney, who rendered thVI Jecision above referred to, for.ju( fes oi take the consequences, and ougbt;rnot to murmur.

The Roywllsts Completely Crushed in Their Attempt to Overturn tho Government. ." Sah Fkaxcisco, Cal. The rtenmer Alameda brings I the following news from Honolulu: Bob Wilcox and Sam, Notrlein led half a thoueaud Kanakas and half-white royalists in open revolt rgainst the Hawaiian Kepubhc Sunday, -Jan. 6, on the shore mx miles from the city. . The rebels were foiled in their plan to surprise the city. A fight took place at Diamond Head between the police and rebels in which Charles Jj, Carter a prominent young man, fell mortally '' wounded. When a strong 'force was sent out from the city the rebels retreated to the recesses of the Volcano Ridges, and several were killed by shot and shell. Many prisoners were taken, indiuding John Lane, a half-tvhite, ho shot Parker. On the 9th the troops attacked Wilcox and sixty of the enemy in a vftlley and routed them with a loss of two killed. None of the troops were injured. The insurrection iscompletely crush ed and 4he rebels have entirely -dispersed: The majority of the men have come in from the front. One hundred Are still guarding the entrances of the valley and looking Iot Wilcox and his men. Nothing his been heard of any rebel in the mountain for twenty-fonr hours. Wilcox's force, like Nowlein's has unquestionably dissolved. He has probably escaped through Kalihi to wards Ewa, and is scekiug to get off the islaud. Militnry operations are probably at an end The guanliug of the city under martial law m:iy be con tinued some days longer. The royalists were supplied with arms and ammunition from vessels. Grave alarm was caused at the4sme time by large bodies of Japanese laborers on the plantations rising up in mutiny. Young Carter died on Monday morn ing. The effect of Colter's death at thl outset was salutary in creating un- -usual ardor among the loyal citizens to crush the enemy. Large numbers of doubtful persons eagerly canie forward to shoulder guns for the government.' Hundreds have offered their services as special policemen and otherwise.! Th$ volunteer troops are nearly up to theif full strength of 300, and have done se vere work fdr four days in the field and on guard duty. Over 500 - men ol . the civic guard, many of them elderly have kept the town thoroughly imrolb " . ed for four nights. f and no pesron has passed an important Etrcet corner at night without being halted and scru tinized. It has been impossible for any insurgent to get through the town and give aid to the army from this side. Including the regulars, police, volunteer troops, special police, sharp shooters, citizens' guard aud other volunteers the total number of men carrying arms for the government, is not less than .1,200. Word came of a violent mutiny of 200 Japanese on the plantation ' at Waimea, Kauai. They left an Ameri can for dead on the field. The griev ance of the Ewa Japanese, who have mutinied, was that the police had laid ed a nest of gamblers among them. The 20,000 Japanese in Hawaii are deeply .excited by the victories Over China and feel very important and su perior. ; No doubt the late rumors of insurrection also acted as anr addition al ferment, making them ready for an outbreak at the slightest provocation. This is probably one of the elements of insurrection that contributes to make it of some importance to keep here a naval vessel of the United States to protect the $25,000,000 worth of property owned by American citi zens.
