A FIRE BRIGADE FOR THEATERS.

TO the EditOr OF The Tribune.
SIR: In presence of the fearful shock the
public has received and the desolaon carried into the
of many families by the burning OF the Brook
lyn Theater the aabsorbDg thoughts of New-fork to-
day must DE concentrated on the problem how
to meet or avert such another calamity In
the future 1t is a problem which catastrophe
aftor catastrophe has never taught us completely TO
solve. Indeed there are public halls ana places of
amusement all the country built ana being Dnt Us
il their destruction by fire in the highest degree I'M
probable, and consideration their infatuated archtects
never entertained. Will you allow me, Sir through the
columns OF your wdespreadng newspaper to direct the
thoughtful to what has been done elsewhere 70 foue
against such terrible emergcnciesi
II is evident that hreengines are almost worthless
against burning thcater because the few minutes whch
must eapse before the nearest one can reach he spot
are more than sufficient to let the swift flames wrap the
fmsy tinse and nder OF the scenes in inevitable de-
struction Many theaters constructed with an IRON
curtain. which can be dropped between the stage
and the auditorium. This in some degree pre-
vents panic, and allows the audience, even when
the fire has caught firm hold, few more precious
minutes to escape. Many other schemes might Dc
enumerated principally architectural which AFFORD sae
and easy egrcss to excited audience but my oDec
writing you is rather draw attention in few words

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE House in the
morning hour to-day began the consideration OF the bill
which provides that the Union Pacific Railroad shall
make pro rata passenger rates and fares with the
burlington aud Missouri Railroad. This bill practically
makes the Burlington and Missouri road branch Of the
Union Pacific with the full privileges OF the latter road
supported strongly by Mr. McCrary Of Iowa and by
considerable number Of Congressman through whose
territory the road Those who favor the bill argue
that it the intention OF the original act that the
Burlington and Missouri road should be part OF the
Union Pacific hut that the latter taking advantage of
clerical In the organic act has to this day defeated
the purpose OF that act
The friends Of the Union Pacific upon the floor ind-
Gated belief that he passage Of the bill would reduce
the OF the road They based their opposition
upon this ground IN order defeat by postpone
ment They endcavored to take advantage OF rule OF
tine House which provides tina; any bill making appro-
prlatons Of public property or affecting Government
shall first be considered I'm Committee OF the
whole. They claim that this pro rata bin would reduce
the OF the Union Pacific and consequently I'M
pair the securities Of the road held by the Goyernmcnt
"a well reduce the amount required by law TO be set
aside the sinking fund. which IL five per cent OF the

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THR TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Tde Republicans are con-
6dent tonight that the country will accept the in
auguration Of Hayes as the rghtfu solution of the
Presidential complication. They believe that the
Democrats, by their conduct since the cleo
ton. have excited distrust and ALARM
The worst features in the conduct of the
Democrats are stated as follows First, they
endeavorcd TO bribe Hayes elector in South Caro-
lima to betray his trust, and made direct offer to
HIM of large sum Of money. Second, they made
similar corrupt proposition TO one OF the Hayes
electors in Louisiana Third, they tried Opurchase
one of the Republican members of the Florida Board
of State Canvassers, in order TO secure majority
the board and have the electoral vote of the State
returned tor Tildon. Fourth, they induced the Gov
ernOr Of Oregon to trample upon the laws of his
State and upon his own oath of office, and give
certificate of election to Democrat who had no
shadow Of legal right to the certificate. 1t is held
here that Gov. Hayes has received 1S5 lawfully cast
electoral votes, and there is no Republican in Wash
ington tonight who does not believe he will be in
augurated President of the United States.
