Another Fatal Fire.

PHILADRAPHIA, February PA fire,
broke out in the insane department of
The County Aims House, West Phila-
delphia, tonight. The flames spread
rapidly, and before the 800 inmates
could be released, ninteen of them were
burned to death. Theaothers were left
to roam about the grounds at viii and
many OF them were picked up by the
oIneers throughout the city. The
buildings at II O'Clock tonight were
SUI burning and the-other departments
are In great danger.
PHILADELPHIA, February 12.-Eighteen
raving maniacs were burned to
9 p In the insane department. of
bioeRley,s Almshouse, on the west side
ol tne achuylkill- River, tonight, in the
connagratlon which needed nothing to
make 1t the most horrible disaster of
the kind ever known m the history Of
the city. The fire originated in a wing
OF the old building of the insane de-
partment at Blockley, which fronts to-
wards the Schuykill River. This wing
Is l45 feet front and 6cfeet deep con-
nected on the south with the main build
ing OF the old structures of the insane
department, which runs south 400 feet
to similar wing to the one in which
the disaster occurred. In this north
building, where the fire broke out, there
We're sixty separate cells for violent
patients, twenty on each floor. In
addition to this there was aslarge room
on each of the three floors, on which
cots for twelve men were placed, all Of
which were occupied when the fire
broke cut On the north side, of the
corridor, which runs from east to west,
was dry room heated by
steam. This room, which was about
ten feet square was directly alongside
the middle stairway leading. to the
floors above and below. Here the,
flames originated, but from what
cause is not known. At the time
there were insane patients in. each
OF the. twenty cells on these
three floors, ten in the large
room. ON the first floor and twelve in
each of the large rooms on. the
second and third floors. From all
accounts to be obtained -. it
appears pretty certain that the first
alarm was given by an insane patient
on the first floor of the main building.
This man, Joseph Nadine, occupied a
room adjoining the stairway and drying
room, with about twenty other quiet
patients. About $50 o'clock, he saw
smoke issuing from above the door
which opened into the wing in which
the cells were situated He ran to abig
iron-grated door, fronting on the main
corridor of the building and cried out,
fire lo This fearful sound reached the
ears of Joseph Schroeder, the attendant.
on the ground floor, who was in his
room, directly opposite the one from
which Nadine had given the alarm.
Mrs. Umpstead, W no has general charge
at night, said it was about O'Clock
when the alarm reached her. She
hastened to- get all the patients from
the main building.

other two remained above ground, to
draw up the mud and dirt through the
manholes. Between Halstead and

11ore Chinese Problems.

WASHINGTON, February 12.LThe
Secretary of the Treasury to-day sent
to the House reply to the resolution
of that body, asking information as to
what regulations and instructions had
been issued by his department relating
to the right of Chinese to enter the
United States. ''The regulation
numbered five, the r Secretary says,
'.relates to Chinese subjects, not
laborers, desiring to come iuto the
United States from countries other than
China. 1t does not embrace Chinese
residents in countries other than
China. To hold that Chinese sub
jects, resident in foreign countries
must obtain permission and a certificate
from the government of which they are
subjects, would be to compel them to
go to China and there obtain a certifi-
cate, which. if they had long been resi-
dents in another country, could not
even then be obtained. Section 6 acteof
1884, evidently applies only to Chinese
persons other than laborers about to
come into the United States for the first
time. Any other construction would
lead to the absurd conclusion that Chi
nese merchants, who resided in San
Francisco many years, and who
have occasion to visit Victoria or
the Sandwich Islands, shall be COM
PEELED to perform the impossibility
of procuring a certificate comfortable
to Section 6, from the Chinese govern
ment, of which they are subjects. Con-
gress could not intend to take away
from Chinese merchants residing in this
country, the rights granted them by the
treaty. There can be no just pretense
that any fraud can be practised by
giving to such merchants a certificate
of Identification by the collector OF
customs at the port of departure and
making such certificate prima facie
evidence of the right to return

600 be appropriated for railway post
office car service. o
Horr's amendment was adopted.
t Nichols offered an amendment APP
propriating 1886 ,764 for necessary and
special facilities on trunk lines.
Alter brief and noisy debate by
Nichols, McComas and Money, in favor
of the amendment, and by Townshend
in opposition, it was adopted.
On motion of Horn, the appropria-
ton for railway postofice clerks was in
creased $4,000. hGe 59
Townshend gave notice that on
those three amendments he would
demand yea and nay vote in the

Townshend offered an amendment
providing that upon all publications of
the second class, when sent by the
publishers thereof, or from the office of
from news agencies to actual subscrib-
ers, shall, after July, 1885, be entitled to
transmission through the mails atlcent

crease of postage. Agreed to. irr,a
On motion of 'Eownshend, an amend
ment was adopted directing the Secre-
tary of the Treasury at the future let
tings of contracts for the manufacture
of stamps, etc., to, put in bids for the
bureau of engraving and printing.
Pending further action, the committee
arose.
Townshend moved that the House
take a recess until s, but White (Ky.)
made point of no quorum, and call
of the House was ordered.
During the roll call, White Ky being
absent in one of the cloak rooms, un-
animous consent was asked and given
to dispense with further proceedings
under the call and the House took re-
cess until o'clock.
House, evening sesSion-Not more
than two dozen members were present
when the House met, and proceeded in
committee OF the whole TO the further
consideration of the postofRce appro-
priation bill.
Holman raised the point of order
against the paragraph allowing adj
ditional compensation for the transport
tation of ocean mail in American
steamships.
Hewitt New York; argued that the
proposed legislation did not change the
existing laws. The bill was really a re-
trenchment of expenditures.
Randall SAID the provision in question
greatly increased the expenditure of
public money.
Dingley thought the provision clearly
in order.
Bayne considered the provisoion mani
testify changed the exciting law, and
not only that, but it was departure
from the policy of the government,
which was to pay fair compensation
and no more for carrying the mails and
the theory of subsidy entered into the
question just so far as it was depar-
ture from that policy.
Pending a decision, the committee
arose and the House took a recess until
10 O'Clock tomorrow.
