The fire which caused the alarm from
Box 1913 at 4;55 o'clock this morning
proved to be the fercest that has occurred
in the city since the Main-street fire last
winter. The first alarm was quickly fol,
lowed by the second and third, but before
any water could be thrown the flames had
gained such headway that no thought of
saving the building and stock were enter.

keep the fire from spreading to the adjon-

The building burned was one of the
many buildings which constituted Proctor

the moulding room, where about 1,So0
candles We're being moulded, and down into
the press rooms and the saponifying house,
where several large tanks and tubs were
filled with grease and tallow, and also into
the engine-house. Upon this ma
terial the fire burned so fiercely
that for over three hours the entire factory
remained in imminent danger of being
consumed, and it was not until several
hours later that it was entirely extin-

even exceed that sum.

New York Press To-day on the Army
Appropriation Bill.

National Associated Press TO the star
NEW YoRK, April 1.-The Herald alluding
to the debate ON the Army Appropriation
Bill says: "Garfelds defamation about its
being revolutionary to D IS such bills is
Eighty and stiltcd nonsense"
The Sun says: 'The issue is clearly made
up on the question whether elections in
America shall be free or whether they shall
bo ruled by the bayonet. Monarchical Eng
land iealously guards the ballot from any
interference of the soldiery under any pre-
tense"
The Star SAYS: "The real revolutionists
are not those who would expunge the infa-
nous enactments, but those who oppose
this abolition"
The Times says: The programme of the
Democrats is revolutionary"
The Tribune says "A fight for free
ballot, the Democrats call it, What they
mean is a fight for an unlimited ballot"
The World says: "rhe Stalwart theory
OF the American Executive veto power
goes good deal beyond anything ever
dreamt of either by the founders of Amer-
can independence or by the builders up of
English liberty. 1t was Samuel Adams
maxim throughout his stainless career as
Chief Magistrate OF Massachusetts that
'The duty of the executive was to execute
the laws, not to make them"

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
An attempt will be made in the present

bill will provide for the establishment of

willing to surrender the grants provided
settlers are permitted to come into the Ter
ritory Persons interested IN the Missouri,

secure the passage of the bill.
MINISTER SEWARD.
The Administration is in pickle about
Seward, Minister to China. The Chinese
Legation here has no authority to treat for
a modification of the Buringame treaty to
restrict Chinese emigration; and it is nee
| essary to have representative of the Gov
ernment at Pekin, familiar with Chinese
affairs, to do the work properly. Seward is
well enough qualified for the task, but the
serious charges made against him, and
which have not been dsproven, might de-
stroy his diplomatic usefulness, even in
such far distant country as China. Sew
ard wants to go back, but Evarts does not
know whether he ought to send him or
not.
