CONGRESS THIS WEEK.
The Tariff to be the Leading Topic in
Both Houses


WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The programme
of business for the Senate this week is
extremely simple, the intention of the
majority being to press the consideration
of the Finance Committees tariff measure
each day, and generally until late hour
in the evening, to the exclusion of all
other than merely formal legislative
business. Some brief executive
sessions viii be held. and it is
expected that an adjournment will be
taken at comparatively early hour
Tuesday afternoon as mark of respect
for the memory of two deceased members
OF the House of Representatives but
aside from these Interruptions the entire
week viii doubtless be devoted to an at
tempt to complete the consideration of the
pending bill. 1t is very doubtful whether
the bill can be returned to the House by
the end Of this week.
Tomorrow, in the House of Renrpsenta-
tives, after the usual call of States for the
Introduction of bills, the regular order
VIII be the recognition of individual men,
bers for the purpose of Offering motions
to pass measures by a twO-thirds majority
under suspension Ofthe rules. 1t is under
stood that the first member to be recog-
nized will be Mr.. Cannon, Rep, Ill. !,
the direction Of the majority of
the Committee on Appropriations
he will then move the summary passage
of the Legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill. The reading of this
yoluminous salary bill may be expected
to occupy at least two hours, and debate
OF half an hour must be allowed upon the
question of passing it. The general Opin-
ion tonight is that the motion will fail to
receive the requisite twO-thirds vote. as it
IS known that nearly all the leading
Democrats will oppose it. Failing to
obtain passing by this means the bill will
not be called up again this week, but will
be left on the calendar, while the House
during the remainder of the week, except
on Tuesday afternoon, when eulogies are
10 be delivered on Messrs. Updegraff of
Ohio and Hawk of Illinois, devotes itself
to the further consideration of the Wavs
and Means Committees tariff bill.

A LEAKY STILL.
Immense Loss of Oil and Machinery by
the Standard Company.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 3.-At 6 O'Clock
this morning the petroleum tank in Sher-
man u Teagle's refinery, on Kingburg
Run, exploded, and the blazing oil flowed
down and spread over the creek. which
was swollen by heavy rains to the size of a
river, the oil floating into the
Standard Oil Works, which, at 8
O'Clock this afternoon, were on
nre, and sweeping cOnflagration is
threatened. Half dozen tanks are blazing
ana the reservoir of benzine is in danger.
II the benzine catches fire the extent of
tne damage sure to follow cannot be told,
several OF the Standard COmpanv's oil
tanks have since exploded, and to increase
the peril of the situation the dam that has
kept the flood of fire from running on the
river is reported as likely to give away.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 4.-The following are
the details of the oil fire announced last
night: Early yesterday morning the
water OF small creek, called Kingsbury
run, rose far beyond its usual height and
spread over hundreds of acres of low land
surrounding the leaky petroleum still of
the Standard Oil Works, located a consid
cradle distance above the cOmpany's
main works. The escaping oil and refuse
We're swept down the stream and carried
under the boiler of the Great Western
Oil Works, which were nearly sub
merged. The oil became ignited and
tloated to tank containing 5000 barrels
OF crude petroleum, which took fire and
exploded, spreading the blazing oil in all
directions, some being carried to Merriam
MOrgan's paratiine works below. which
were also fired Continuing down stream
the flaming flood next attacked the tanks
of the Standard Oil Works. located in the
valley, one after another of which took
fire. Five $4,000 barrel tanks, two 5000
barrel tanks, four stills, one agitatOr. an
engine house, five hundred feet of railway
trestle and various small works were de-
stroyed. The tanks were not all full. but
not less than $4,000 barrels of oil were
consumed. The total loss by fire is a mat
ter of speculation, but is estimated at
from $l5O0O0 to 100000. The machinery
and stills were worth 1000. Six steam
fire engines and three hook and ladder
companies worked all day and a large
force of the department all night. The
oil must all burn when once it takes fire,
as throwing water on it only scatters it
without eXtinguishing the flames. The
nremen have to direct their efforts to pre-
vent the fire from spreading. They have
been laboring at great disadvantage be-
cause much of the territory where the
coni1agratiOn is raging is covered with six
feet of water.
The fire is nearly exhausted. The CEN
tire of the cOnfagratiOn resembles chaos.
and it will take two years to restore the
works to their condition of two davs AGO.
$3OO,OOO is probably moderate estimate
OF the cOmpanY,S loss.

DETROIT, Feb. 4.-Statements come
from Grand Haven that Senator Ferry and
his brother Edward, doing business under
the firm name OF Ferry g. Brother there
and in Utah, have failed with liabilities of
several hundred thousand. The cause

stance of creditors.
a caucus of Democratic Greenback
members of the Legislature was held Fri
