been known as the Windsor about three years, since John A. Stevens assumed it's management. Before the building of the Metropolitan Opera House it had the largest seating capacity of any theater in the coun- try-about 3, 100. The theater was regular death trap. The parquet floor was some half dozen steps below the entrance and three deep galleries of finder box construction lined three sides of the auditorium. Some two years ago the building was condemned by Inspector Esterbrook, because of bulging walls, but this element of danger was after ward remedied. Had the fire ever broken out when the theater WAS crowded the loss of life would have been terrible. The exits were few and entirely inadequate. The total loss by the fire is estimated at $25O, ,0OO.

New Rules for the Senate.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The Senate com mittee on rules to-day finally adopted the new rules recently agreed upon by the sub committee. No material changes were made except such as simplify in matters of form and phraseology. A code of joint rules was agreed upon to be submitted to the senate and if admitted by that body to be submit ted to the house for it's approval. Among the more important of these proposed joint rules is one meant to prevent general legisla- ton in appropriation bills. Another defines the duties and limits the powers of confer ence committees. It provides that they shall not be permitted to amend the text of any bill only upon the subject or thing upon which there is disagreement between the tWo houses Another joint rule adopted by the committee provides that during the last ten days of the session in each house busi- ness from the other house shall have prece- dence. They also propose joint rule pro- hibitinR the sale of liquor of any kind in the capitol building or on the grounds.

Carlisle says he feels as confident of his nomination on the first ballot tomorrow as he ever felt iii regard to any human event, and Mir. Cox says he is still in ths field. Sixteen members of the New York delegation met again to- night and by vote of eleven to five decided to present the name of MT. Cox to the eau GUS tomorrow night and to support him to the end if the fight narrowed down to Car isle and Cox. Opposite conclusions are reached by the friends of Messrs.
