NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The Herald, re-
fsrring to the new Senate, says the Pacific
States send representative men. Booth
does not take from the Senate so high a
reputation as he brought into it. His sue
cessor, General Miller, is Q new man, but
reports speak highly Of his character L
ability. Ii is pleasant to know that he was
a distinguished commander under Thomas,
and bears on his person scars Of cruel
wounds. We shall never tire Of welcom-
ing the brave men Of our army to u
honor their fellow citizens may give them.
Colonel Fair, who comes from Nevada, will
be an interesting character, representing
as he does one Of the new and stupendous
fortunes growing out Of the developments
Of u Pacific Empire. While Fair will
probably not attempt to ornament the de-
bates of the Senate, he knows one subject
well-mining industries-and his advice
will be valuable to Commissioners.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 1o.-A fire broke out
yesterday morning in the hve-story iron
front building, Nos. so and es New
Church street, originating among a guam
tity Of waste in the cellar Of the building,
which was occupied by the Western Elec-
trio Manufacturing Company as a maniac
tory. The fire rapidly gained headway,
and spread to the first and second floors.
About 100 men and boys, and over thirty
women, were employed in the building,
and 1t is the greatest wonder none were
injured, as the smoke was almost thick to
suffocation. Some of the men were
slightly singed in dashing down the stairs.
The girls were panic stricken. All were
employed on the top floor, and the smoke
was too dense to permit their exit by the
stairs, but q young man named Herbert
who ran through the building, giving the
alarm to his fellow workmen, came to
their rescue, guided them to a fire escape
and all were saved.
