FEARFUL CRASH.
Disastrous Fall Of a Wall Of the United
States Hotel, Washington.

Killed.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-The city was
startled just at dusk by report that the
old United State Hotel had fallen in, and
buried large number of people. The fact
proved to be that few people were killed,
though q very considerable portion of the
building fell. The hotel is one Of the oldest
in the city, and while formerly quite well
known. of late it rates about third class.
It fronts on Pennsylvania avenue. between
Third and Four-and-a>half streets. It
was the back building, about fifty by
forty feet, which fell. The rear wall,
been bowed outward, suddenly pushed out,
and caused the entire rear of the building to
fall, This started the side walls, and the
whole back building of the hotel fell In q
heap. The lower floor contained the kitchen
and dining-room. There were few people,
probably three or four, in the latter, and six
in the kitchen, including Mrs. Belden, the
wife of the proprietor. She was taken out
about II O'Clock, alive, out apparently dy-
ing. Above the first floor there were,three
floors of guests and servants rooms. Few
were occupied, and the occupants of these
were believed to be on the avenue, as the
rooms were hot and the street in front
was very comfortable. The police and
Fire Department, with two of the District
Commissioners, were soon on the ground,
and large relief force. was organized and
worked with great energy. The Electric
Light Company came on the ground,
and quickly ran wires from its lines and
put up lights, which made it easy to work
intelligently. At intervals the whole COM
pany were directed to be silent, that the
cries of such as were alive could be heard,
that their situation could be described by
those able to talk from under the ruins. At
midnight three have been removed alive,
and it is feared three are dead. There are
some who were on the books of the hotel
who are missing, but it is not believed they
are in the ruins,

Letter From ParneII to the National

ures.

LONDON, August "A letter from Par.
nell to the local Secretary of the National
League of Ireland has been made public.
Parnell says he anticipates as the outcome
of the Parliamentary Committees report
that an important Improvement in the con-
dition of the laboring classes of Ireland
will be affected. The officials of the Local
Government. Board have given evidence
confirming the report circulated by the
Irish party that a measure will be
prepared giving the local authorities
power to take or lease land compulsorily,
even il not attached to laborers' cottages,
for the purpose of letting it to laborers at
moderate prices. The measure will also
empower the authorities to make repairs in
the cottages. A return has just been made
to Parliament in regard to the operation of
the Irish Arrears of Rent Act, According
to the landlords by the farmers
has been wiped out under the act
since 1882. OF this large amount Ulster
gained ESQ. 900 in remissions of rent;
and Munster, $500, 600. The Nationalist
papers, commenting upon this return, state
that the land act has already secured to
the farmers permanent reduction of rent
exceeding f500,000 yearly. The Bishop
of Limerick, Earl of Belmore and other
members of the commission which has
been considering the condition of educa-
tion in Ireland, state that the curtailed
rents were better and more regularly paid
last year than at any time since the Par
nell agitation began. The relations now
existing between the landlords and tenants
are amicable. The primary schools estab-
lished for the benefit of the tenants are
every-where appreciated. The Government
is resolved upon large reduction OF the
forces in Ireland.

A HUMAN SQUIRREL. N
The washington Pension Clerk who
Dive. IL in n Tree.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-W ashiugton is
the only city in the country that can boast
of citizen who lives up tree. This denis
zen of the tree tops is pension Office clerk,
named A. B. Hayward. He is a rather
good-looking man of middle age and intel
ligent appearance, and wears full beard,
and dresses with good taste. Heis pleasant,
and treats his numerous visitors courte>
ousiy, and takes pleasure in entertaining
them, which is rather surprising to many
who expect to find him cross, Grabbed
and exclusive person. He does not go to
extremes, however, and shows no signs of
crankiness, except in his singular choice of
place to dwell. The tree is very large
walnut, and stands near the top of hill.
The dwelling consistsof stanch platform.
eighteen feet wide and tbirty-five
feet long, built around the trunk of
the tree and supported by four heavy TIM
bers. The platform is thirty-one feet from
terra-frma, and in the center of this the
little house is built. The upper portion is
covered with canvas curtains, with wooden
rollers in the bottom, which can be hoisted
by means of ropes to any distance desired,
occupant from rain or sunshine. 1t is
reached by closed staircase, fitted mp with
hand-rails, which reaches nearly TO the
ground. The ascent of the first six feet is
made by step>ladder, which can be drawn
up aud placed ON the first landing or plat
form, ard the door closed and locked. He
gives several reasons for living in such a
place. He says it is desirable for sanitary
purposes, and he enjoys the quiet and the
beautiful scenery. His health is impro ved,
and it is cheap.

Kee7 the Surplus.

Mr.. Blaine is distinct and emphatic
on one subject, if he is tricky and eva
sive ON others. He wants the surplus
revenue, rolling up at the average of
$1Oa,0Uo, coo yearly. to continue.
"No dollar has been wasted" cries
MIR. Blaine, AMI so he insists that the
accumulation of the great corruption
surplus shall not cease.
What is Mr.. BIaine's excuse for hang
ing on to the surplusP 1T is applied to
the reduction of the debt" he says,
'.and the consequent relief of the bur-
den o. taxation"
So in order to pay rapidly and injuri-
ously to the banking interests of the
country debt which bears an interest
of three OIL three and one-half per cent.
he insists on piling the burden of
taxation on the people of to-day heavi-
ly enough to raise 500, 900, 600 year
more than the Government needs!
In his defense of the surplus Mr..
Blaine stands alone. The Republicans
affect desire to wipe it out. The
that pretended object. The Tariff bill
of the Keifer Congress was passed un-
der the false pretense that it would re-
duce the surplus.
Mr.. Blaine is therefore in conflict
with his party. More than that-he is
in direct conflict with the platform of
the convention which nominated him.
The Republican party pledges it
SELF" says the Chicago platform, ito
reduce the surplus, not by the vicious
and indlscriminate process of horizontal
reduction, but by such methods as will
relieve the taxpayer without injuring
the laborer or the great productive in
terests of the country"
Now comes Blaine, the candidate,
into the field and repudiates the plat
form. The Democrats cry out against
the surplus, he says, but we will keep
it where it is. "Not dollar of it is
wasted"
The surplus is needed to carry out
the magnificent Blaine policy. It is the
capital of Jingoism, the hope of the
bu .aneers, the life and soul of Free
Lance Administration.
