Eos's Amertcam Theatre and ne
MereasstiIe LSbraru burned. n,

PHILADELPHIA, February 25.--At
half past twelve o'clock this morning, a
dense smoke was observed pouring from
the windows ofthe property room ofFox's
American Theatre, in Chestnut street
above Tenth. The flames burst through
the roof and rear and in a few minutes
the fire had spread to the front of the the
atre and the rsofs of the houses adjoining.
At ! o'clock the fire had spread to the
Mercantile Library building in Tenth
street, above Chestnut, and also to sever
al stores and Rogers wagon warehouse
in Chestnut street. Before the firemen
were aware Of any immediate danger to
the latter premises, the flames shot out
through the roof, and minute later, from
some inexplicable cause, floor after floor
tumbled in, and the entire structure was
enveloped In fire. The next building to
the wagon factory is the fireproof granite
building Of the New York Mutual Life
Insurance Company, and here the pro
gress OF the flames was checked.
Rogers wagon factory is owned by C.
j. Rogers of Morristown, N. ]. The
building is damaged to the extent of $15,-
600. The loss on Fox's Theatre is esti-
mated at S150,000. The valuable csllec.
tion OF books, particularly those on the
south side Of the Mercantile Library, has
been considerably damaged. The loss i.
variously estimated at $4,000 to $4,000

QUO WARRANTO AND NEW ELEc
TION BILLS TO BE PRESS

WASHINGTON, February 24.-In the
Democratic caucus tonight Mr.. Clymer
presided in the absence of Mr.. Lamar, and
after brief discussion 1t was agreed that
two bills shonld beintroduced in the first
legislative hour of the session Monday.
one to provide for new election by the
people in May, the President OF the SEN
ate to be President of the United States
in the meantime, and another providing
iof writ OF quo tcGrranto for Mr.. Til
den, as outlined in these dispatches last
Digit. The caucus unanimously agreed
that these bills should be brought to a
vote in the House and their adoption
urged by the Senate. 1t was held that.in
view of the situation of affairs, the Re-
publicans in the latter body could not re-
fuse to let both bills become laws. Prior
to the meeting of the caucus meeting of
the New York delegation was held, at
which 1t was also agreed unanimously to
support these two measures. Only two
members of the delegation were absent,
and they had given their adhesion tothem
There was nothing said in the caucus
about further delay, but it was agreed to
go on on Monday and refer the South

THE REPUBLICAN PLAN.
Special despatch TO the World.

WASHINGTON, February Ex-senator
Sherman returned here this morning from
his visit to5Hayes. He was summoned by
telegraph for a consultation with the Re-
pubIcans on the election of new Presi-
dent of the Senate from the list of Sena-
tors who hold over. It is proposed that
either he or Morton shall be selected, for
it has been decided to elect q new Presi-
dent of the body without regard to any
contingency arising in the Presidential
count. There is no doubt, though, that
the Republicans of the Senate have de-
cided on two plans to controvert the re-
suit of any fihbustering policy in the
Heuse, One is to invite the House to
joint convention in the Senate Chamber,
whenlF Ferry will declare the result, ,wheth-
er all of the House is present or not. The
other, as stated last night, is to elect
Morton or Sherman as President of the
Senate, and have Grant resign on Satur-
day. The vacancy contemplated by the
act of '92 will then exist, to be filled by
the President of the Senate until new
election by the people is held.

THE CAMPAIGN FUNDS AND THEIR
DISBURSEMENT.

Special Despatch to the Baltimore Sun.
WAsHINeroN, Feb. 25-Republicans are
making the statement that their cam
paign fund was only about $3.50, 900
while the democratic campaign fund was
$500. 900, of which amount they say Mr..
Tilden contributed $500,000, and Mr..
Hewitt 100000. The assessments made
on the Office holders aggregated much
more than $50. 900, and it is known that
considerably more than that sum was
spent by Mr.. Chandler in the State of
New York alone in the vain hope of
overcoming its democratic majority. As
to the democratic fund, it did not in all
probability exc eed one fourth of Il Q
amount at which it is stated. The
bulk of both camps ign funds was speL
in the State of Now York, and in the
States of Indiana and Ohio before the
October elections, as it was very well un-
derstood on both sides that the great
struggle was in these three States. The
repu blicans did spend some money on
the Pacific slope, and as it turned out il
was literally bread cast upon the waters.
The democratic committee gave no at
tention to the Pacific States. If they
had there would have been no trouble
about either California or Oregon
Neither party sent any funds of the
least consequence to the South. Repeat
edly the republican managers in North
Carolina came here and almost begged
Mr.. Chandler for money on their knees,
but without avail, and SO with the re-
publicans in Mississippi and other States.
Mr.. Chandler considered that there was
no need for the republicans to send
money South, because as he said, if the
federal bayonets did not carry enough
States to elect Hayes they still had the
returning boards to fall back upon. The
result shows that old Zach knew what
he wastalking about.
