NFw York, Dec. 2I.-The newspapers
devote much space to the terrible fire and
explosion In Barclay street. It is utterly
impossible to form any idea Of the loss Of
life until the ruins are cold. At this hour,
$3.50. several engines are working on the
debris; the fire is practically out. The
number Of lives lost by explosion and fire
is still undetermined, but 1t Is believed
full 40 bodies now lie buried beneath the
ruins. Bodies of Q man and boy were
taken from the ruins on the sidewalk this
morning. One hundred workmen, be.
sides firemen. are now digging in the ruins.
Police Is need to keep the crowds from
pressing down upon them.
The total loss is $42S. 900: insurance
$325. 900. we'll disiTibuted among 81 east
ern and foreign companies. A legal point
has been made by Representatives of some
insurance companies which have risks on
asmuch Is by the terms Of the policies
the companies are responsible only for
damages occasioned by fire. and the ex-
pl0sion occurred before any fire was dis
covered, the value Of property destroyed
must be based upon its condition at tho
moment between the explosion and the
fire which 1t occasiOned.
Two men who rescued two girls say
they had heen told by the wOrkmen In the
starch room on the second floor that the
fire was caused by the upsettirg of ker-
oscne lamp in the room. They asserted
that the finely powdered starch used In the
manufacture OF gum drops was explosive,
and the explosion was caused in this way.
They did not believe the boiler exploded,
asserting that II 1t had it would have
blown up the sidewalk under which 1t was
situated. A man named Stein says he
went down into the boiler room only
about five minutes before the fire Oc.
CURED, to obtain a can of water. Hartz.
bach was then at his post raking out the
fires. This afternoon the boilers on Bar
clay street side were uncovered, and the
boiler inspector, HartOn, made a careful
inspection of both boilers. which ale un.
injured. The cause of the explosion 10
therefore more mysterious than ever.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-One of the
southern Democratic senators who is q
friend to the President, In conversation
this evening, said he has every reason to
believe that on the Resembling of con-
gress President Hayes would have . ma.
jority in favor Of his nominations. "You
see," continued the senator. that In q lit.
tie over year the senate will be Demo-
cratic; of that there can be no doubt; Ar
kansas. South Carolina, Alabama and Cal.
| ifornia will add each . Democratic sens-
tor. We may lose one from Connecticut,
and there Is a probability that the election
In Indiana win give Republican in place
of VOORHEES,. but Ohio will Offset that by
the election of . Democrat In place OF
Matthews. At any rate. the senate will
be Democratic on the 4ih 0f March. 1879,
and that will be less than IL uoeths from
