How Mr.. Randall Obtains Favors.

Washington Special.
''Sam Randall is one of the few public men
who come i'll here, remarked Treasury official
to-day, swho never takes a seat while they are
in the building. When Mr.. Randall has any re-
quests to make in the way Of asking an appoint
ment or the consideration of any business he al
ways stands up. though he takes particular pains
to have the person addressed sitting down. Mr.
Randall studies into the causes and effects of
everything, and it is this that makes him so sue
cessful as politician He takes advantage of
every point and he has found that he has often
got promises out Of officials by standing up
that he would not have secured if he sat down
and entered into social conversation with
them"
Mr.. Randall, il is said, is student of Vidocq
who always impressed upon bis officers the I'M
portance of standing up when they desired to Oh
tain confessions or admissions from their prison
ers. This is one of the principles on which the
secret service of the Postofiee Department is
managed, and explains why nearly all the per-
sons arrested by postotfice inspectors confess
their guilt

IN ENGLISH HOLOCAUST.

Twelve Persons Cremated in a Tenement
House at Plymouth, England, and Many
Others Killed or Seriously Injured in
Their EndeaYors to EscaPe--Heroic In
cidents.
LONDON, December IA fire, which
caused frightful loss of life, occurred
last night at Plymouth. The fire broke
out in tenement house in Love street,
narrow thoroughfare in the slums de-
voted to sailors lodging houses, cheap
taverns and tall rickety tenements. Most
of the occupants of the tenemcnts were
asleep when the fire started. Those who
were awake or were awakened by the
tumult made frantic efforts to escape,
In most cases their terror 0verpOwered
their reason, and they escaped from the
burning building only to meet death on
the pavement. One man was instantly
killed and crushed beyond recognition by
jumping from a fourth-story window to
the sidewalk. Many of the dodgers threw
mattresses and other articles of bedding
upon the ground and jumped upon
them from height of forty feet.
One child was killed in this way, and sew
eral men and women had legs and arms
broken. The fire escapes were crowded
with household goods and were useless.
Many pitiful sights were witnessed by the
large crowd assembled in the street, but
powerlcss to help. One ledger, young
man named Rockford, chung to window
sill for several minutes with his little
sister under his arm. If he had
been alone he could have
dropped to the street in COM
paIative safety, but the child had
swooned and was dead weight AT last
he had to let go his hold, but managed to
fall in such a way that the little girl fell
on top of him. Both his legs are broken
and his spine is injured. lie il also ter
ribly burned about the face and hands BY
the flames which surrounded him befort
he fell. The child is also badly
burned, but will recover. The nre.
men worked heroically. Severa
of them were detailed to enter the build
ing, which was then Veritable furnace
of fire, and rescue the survivors. These
Hfe-savers plunged into the seethine
flames. followed by the ppemen, who
kept PLAYING the hose upon them, and
upon each other. In this way several
lives were saved. After the fire was ex.
tjngujshed twelve bodies were found
burned to crisp. Two dodgers art
still missing.
