The scene OF COnilagration resem bles chaos.
aud gentleman well informed on such
matters says 1t will take two years to re-
store tho works rs they were two days ago.
Colonel Paine, treasurer Of the company,
thinks that not more than 5000 barrels of
oil Were lost, and says the loss cannot be
stated till the flood subsidies, and u careful
examination has been made. The fire IL
still burning In spots, and tonight lights
III the wrecks OF ten receiving tanks, twenty
TO thirty stills, and other smaller works
mostly enumerated last night. Three
hundred thousand dollars Is probably n
moderate estimate of the COmpany'S loss.

IL Is estimated that 2}OOO,OOO

from lumber yards. The Valley railroad is
several feet under water for miles and its

under water, which reaches within a few

FERRY's FIX.
DErRolr, Feb. i.--lt is impossible to gain
definite inlormationrcGarding the financial
condition of Ferry e Bro, at Grand Haven.
Reports are conflicting. A late dispatch
10. night declares that attachments put on
the ilrm's property represent only q small
amount, and it is not understood that any
assignment has been made, Their paper,
however, Is alleged 10 have gone TO protest
a. several places, Senator Ferry s
representatives at Lansing were also
served with process last night in a suit for.
an unpaid bill OF 81 300 for room and board
bill for the month Of January at hotel
there. The senator has been absent from
Lansing all the week, and it is well under
stood that he was seeking to tide over linan-
ciel difficulties but the extent is unknown.
THE wEEE's WORK.
WAsulNGroN, Feb. 6.-rhe programme
of business tor the senate this week is eX-
tremely simple. The intention of the ma
iDrity being to press consideration of the
finance commission and tariff measure Sach
day until II late hour in the evening, TO the
exclusion OF all other than merely financial
legislation business. Some brief executive
sessions will be held, and it is expected that
adjournment will be taken ut compare
lively early hour Tuesday afternoon, as II
mark OF respect for the memory OF two de-
ceased members of the house. But aside
from these Interruptions the whole week
will doubtless be devoted to the attempt to
complete consideration Of the pending bill.
1t Is very doubtful, however, whether the
bill can be returned TO the house by the
end OF this week; tor, regardless of many
disputed tariff questions which remain I'M
acted upon, there will be renewal OF last
session in regard to various features Ut the
original framework of the bill, which, as it
passed the house, related solely TO raduc-
lions of internal taxation, Tomorrow in
the house, after the usual csll of states for
the introduction VI bills, the regular order
will be recognition OF Individual members
Tor purposes of OlcrirE motions to pass
measures by twothirds majority under
