THE CANADA FIRES.

Canada is receiving a baptism by fire. the
ike OF which has never been before known
in the history of conlagrations, and which.
at frst glance, seems to Set at defiance all
or our previous experience, and to demon.

TO prevent the rapid spread of flames as is
WOOD The Quebec fire, of Tuesday, May
80, burned over seventeen streets, DESTROYED
some seven hundred houses, rendered home
less about seven thousand persons. and in
volveda loss of nearly million of dollars
Here 1t was easy enough to say that the fire
was the result of carelessness, that its spread
was due to the fact that wooden buildings
were crowded together in locality peoull-
airy exposed to The winds, and that by so
cong the people of Quebec simply invited
the fire. 1t was easy enough to bemoan
the carelessness of allowing children to
play with matches in barn in an exposed
locality, the folly of crowding tinder.boxes
SO close together, and of providing an ade-
quate supply of water for an emergency
which might have been anticipated, and
then dismiss the subject with a little Of
pity for the houseless and homeless, but
with good deal of contempt for the short
slghtedness of the people of Quebec, and
with the expressed hope, which at the
same time lily concealed a sneer, that
better use would be made of this bitter ex-
perience than was made of the similar les-
Son taught ON the same spot exactly thirty
years before.
Then came the fire at Kingston, Mon.
day June ~ by which property to the
amount OF quarter of a million of dollars
was destroyed. Here the buildings were
not all of wood, but those of brick and
stone went down before the DESTROYER
equally with those of wood. The Quebec
fre stopped only when it had DESTROYED
everything in It's path, but this one was
only stayed by removing with gunpowde,
the buildings in its reech. Here too was
an inadequate supply of water.

A Dead Lock Probable.

The debate in the house on Saturday af
ternoon furnished pretty clear indication
that dead lock between the two house,
upon the appropriation bills is certain, and
that neither of the political parties is likely

but showed how indefensible the position
OF the democrats is us regards these bills
they very clearly proved that for demacog-
zeal purposes the democrats have dcliber-
ately set to work to cripple the govern
ment, and while they constitute majority
IN one branch of the government they set
at defiance the other branch.
The president has very clearly defined
his position in the message which he sent
to the house late Saturday afternoon. In
that he notifies the democrats that if the
appropriation bills are not passed and
signed by June Both next on the unexpend-
ed balances made available until the an
preparation bills are passed, the entire ma
chlnery of the government will be suspend
ed. II will then be impossible TO send a

docks, vessels, mills, warerooms, and
stores and dwelling houses almost without
number destroyed some three thousand
persons rendered houseless one person
burned to death others seriously injured I;
and the actual pecuniary loss involved
about a million of dollars. 1t was not
wooden buildings alone that were burned,
but, as the telegram states IL, the houses
were "mostly of brick and stone" and
stone buildings with iron shutters, sup
opposed to be iireproof, burned like tin
der"
Running through all the details of these
fires, we find that the experience of the
past is confirmed. We find, notwithstand-
ing the first appearance, that 1t is rcpeti-
ton of the lesson taught by the Chicago
and Boston and the Rutland fires. There
is something for the people of Rutland to
learn, and they cannot heed it too soon.
II would seem that "fire proof buildings
are myth. Perhaps they can be con-
structed, but they never are. A building
to resist, of itself, such fires as visited
Chicago, Boston, Quebec, Kingston and
St. Johns, has, perhaps, never yet been
constructed, ard probably never will be.
They are altogether too expensive luxury
to hope for, aud, in any event, would be
too rarely constructed to be of any protec-
ton to the community at large. The best
appointed fire department, with the most
perfect OF machines and enough Of them,
manned Ivy the moat stalwart and enduring
Of tiremen, or worked by tireless steam,
are powerless in emergencies like these, in
emergencies such as Rutland has too often
seen, without an ever ready, constant, and
adequate supply Of water Al Quebec we
find that "the supply of water was scanty
"and utterly inadequate to the emer-
geDcy;" at Kingston there wsa no water,
and gunpo wider made the barrier to the
flames and al St. Johns, the telegram
says, the ''aqueduct wateE had been shut

We all know how it is in Rutland. We
know what it is to have ~ inadequate sup

the aqueduct water shut off, not as at St
Johns to repair the engine, but to Obtain
during the night a supply of water sufll

The desperate efforts OF the Radicals

by BELKNAP is pitiable. They assert
with tremendous attempt at exultation
that there have been certain charges
made against prominent Democrats-.Gov.
HENDRICKS and Hon. SAM RANDALL.
The first gentleman has come out with a
card denying IN toto the charges trump
ed up against him, and demanding
Investigation. As yet the latter has
said nothing, bnt nobody believes
what is alleged against him, viz; That
he has been mixed up with the corrupt
actions of Mr., RoBEsoN, Secretary, Of the
Navy. However, if he has, he ought not
only to be expelled his seat in Con-

Adverse Report on the Harper's Fer
nv ArmOry.

Special dispatch 10 the Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON. March 6.-The House
Committee on Military Affairs has de-
cided adversely as to the eIpediency OF
re-establishipg a national armory at
Harper's Ferry. The inclination TO ia
yor the re-establishment of the armory
at Harper's Ferry, not ouly because 1t
was selected for that purpose by wash
ington. but on account of It's healthy ana
delightful location. its vicinity to the
capital, its magnificent water power, and
the Intelligence, skill and inventive
powers which distinguished its mechan-
les during the time it was in operation.
They say every feeling would prompt
them to restore the place to its original
use if imperative consideration OF econo-
nv did not forbid it, Had the applica-
ton been made Immediately after the
close of the war it would have been
more favorably considered than it can
be at this time. But extensive buildings
have been erected at Rock Island, Ill.
and national arsenal established there
as substitute for the public works de-
stroyed at Harper's Ferry.
The committee allude TO the fact that
within the last two or three years eight
or nine OF the arsenals of construction
east of the Mississippi have been discon-
tinued, and are now used simply as de-
pots for the care, preservation and issue
of warlike stores. They say that the
opinion of many is that all the national
armories might with proprety be dis
pensed with, and reliance hereafter plac-
ed upon supplies furnished from the
extensive private manufactures OF the
country. They do not undertake to con-
cur in such a policy, but say that it pre-
sents consideration worthy of attention
against incuring the expense of an addi-
tional armory or arsenal of construction.
In reference to the expediency of author
izlng the Secretary OF War to repurchase
the property at Harper's Ferry when
sold under the decree of the court to sat-
isfy the United States tors debt due for
the purchase money, the committee are
of the opinion that it is not necessary to
vest any such power in the Secretary OF
War, as the existing law gives such a
power to the solicitor OF the Treasury,
should he deem it for the interest OF
the government to exercise that power
in this particular case.
