 WAsHINeToN, Jan. 27-The first
 discovery that fire was in progress
 was that a few large sparks were seen to fall upon the floor of the House from the roof above, which in a moment increased to quite a shower. A few members, officers of the House, and pages rushed for the door. and for g moment they seemed | to expect an explosion and see a l
 repetition of Saturdays scene in the
 British house of parliament. There |
 was no water, and no way of getting | at the fire except up the steep and | narrow iron stair case running three |
 stories up, on which two men can
 not pass each other. After some de-
 lay, however, buckets of water were
 passed up, and what came near bes
 ing 8 serious confiagration was averted. In the room to which the
 fire was confined were stored the
 records of the first session of Con-
 gress, with all she original reports of the committees, of the proceed> ings of the House, and the reports of the various heads of departments
 including some valuable reports dated 1790. The close proximity of the fire to these volumes rendered 1t almost miraculous that they were not burned. They could never have been replaced, and their loss would have been a great misfortune The members of Congress expressed sur prsse and uneasiness that there should be such a lack of means to extinguish fire breaking out in this way. The fire is supposed to have been started by electricity, as num- Der of wires used in lighting the ( hall pass the point where the fire began. LIBERTY CAN EXIST UNDER LAW ONLY.
 WAsHINGToN, Jan. 27-In refer- ence to his resolution Bayard said i he was better satisfied after the 2 lapse of day in asking the Senate now to adopt 8 resolution, because ! hat body had this morning had the 8 to affirm deliberately D what naturally and instinctively U prompted an expression en the ins | itant after receiving information of S he uucivilized, cruel, and barba- a 'ous attempt to destroy in another T ountry human life and with it S buildings dedicated to the governs 1 ment of laws. It is vain to hope o possibly to gain relief from suffer N ng by thus overthrowing law itself n it's citadel. It seemed eminently 9 ,roper, Bayard added, that the law b making body of the American e 'eople shou Id express its antago> r, lism to 8 spirit which by destroying T aw would necessarily destroy all tI Iopes of liberty that could only ex- ir st under law. a
