A REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.

A caucus Of republican members of the house
was held in the hall Of the house Immediately
after adjournment. Mr.. Robson presided and
Mr.. Miller, Of Pennsylvania, was secretary
Speaker Keiler offered a resolution which, in
effect, declared that the republicans of the
house would proceed to consider the tariff bill
on Tuesday next, Immediately after the naval
appropriation bill shall be disposed of, and
that it shall have precedence over all other
legislation excepting appropriation bills, until
brought to vote. The resolution was adOpted
after brief speeches from Messrs. Kelley, Nc
Kinley, and Haskell in explanation OF its
provisions and probable effect. Mr., Kasson
spoke, but not so much on the merits of the
bill as to urge a full and constant attendance
Of republican members during the debate
1t was agreed that there shall be four hours
of general debate ON the bill-two hours to %
side-and that the amendments shall be de-
bated undeTsthe five-minhte rule.
While there was perfect harmony in the
caucus, and generally expressed desire to
pass the bill, and so effect a revision Of the
tariff several members expressed their inten-
ton to amend it, and there was an evident
disposition to have it understood that there
would be demands for notifications from re-
publcans when the bill gets under way The
estimates given in explanation of the effect of
the bill put the total reduction Of revenues
from customs receipts at SIo,OOO,OUO; the re-
duCtiOn on sugar alone ST., 100000, and the re-
duction ON wool at $2,0O0O0O. The estimated
specific reduction is put at an average of II
per cent. There was nothing in the senate
bill, or any other than that reported from the
ways and means committee, which will be
laid before the house in printed form on
Monday with three columns of figures oppo-
site each item in the schedules, to show tho

"The work of examining the hotels is pro-
crossing slowly" said Mr.. Esterbrook, super
intendent of buildings, yesterday to a World
reporter. "You see the open weather allows
the work on new buildings to continue, and
the district examiners are watching them to
see that no infringement of the law is made.
Owing TO this, Of course they have no time to
devote to the inspection ofhOtels, and what in
spections are made are done in their spare
time"
Rep ports of district inspectors made yester-
day show that five hotels had been examined,
aud upon these reports Mr.. Esterbrook or
dered the necessary repairs to be made Tho
Merchants hotel, at Nos, 80 and IL Cortlandt
street, was inspected by Inspectors j. Ester
brook and II, Leiarge. The. c.hotel isativ e-story

as follows You are hereby directed to provide
additional means of egress in case of fire, by
erecting outside iire-escapes in front ON Cort-
landt street, taking inlthe four center win
dows, with balconies and ladders complete for
each story, and drop ladders to the ground.
You are further directed to remove the parti-
tions and doors in the line ofpassageway lead
ing to the rear stairs so as to make it free and
clear of all distractions and TO permit per-
sons to pass in case of necessity"
Fire escapes were ordered on the Warren

occupied by HOyns Bros, at tho northeast
corner of Canal and Elizabeth streets. The
Summit hotel, ut the corner of Canal street
and the Bowory, is owned and occupied by

The horrible results of tho Newhall house
fire have aroused the authorities Of nearly
every city in the Union to tho necessity of
compelling proprietors of hotels, and owners
or custodians of buildings in which large num-
bers of people are employed, to provide proper
means for the protection of life in case of fire.
Nothing of the kind, however, seems to have
been done in Washington. And yet horror
like that in Milwaukee occurring here would
cause more profound sensation than in any
other city ON the continent.
