Mr Lore of Delaware commended tina, the

The debate was continued by Messrs.
Hatch of Missouri and Burrows of Michigan
IN favor of the proposed distribution of ap-

The proposed revision was then read by

Mr. Springer made several attempts to
abolish committees which he deemed useless,
declaring that some of them did no business
except select clerks; but his efforts were un.
successful.
Pending an effort on his part to abolish the
committee on expenditures in the various de-
partments and to create one committee on
the expenditures of the executive department

DISASTROUS FIRE.
jacksonville, Fla., Visited bv the Flames
The Losses Estimated at Nearly Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. II.
The fire which broke out Wednesday night
in Hubbard's warehouse, spread to Abel
block in which were the Herald newspaper
Office, Hazen's billiard parlors, Kurtz Bros.
and several other stores. The building in
the rear of McCombes. Hubbard's and
Abel's blocks on the wharf with their con-
tents sre destroyed. Hubbard's loss is esti-
mated at 100000. Other losses are esli-
mated at over 100000. The papers of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of Florida were des-
troyed. 1t looks as if Jones & Bowen, whole
sale grocers, and Kohan Furchgott & Bene-
dict, wholesale and retail dry goods, would
be burned out. The fire is the most disas-
trous Jacksonville has ever known.
The fire on Bay street was stopped this
morning at Kohn Benedict's store. About
2 A. NJ. portion of the front wall of Abel
block fell, crushing four colored firemen,
one Of whom was instantly killed. The other
three we're badly, but not fatally, injured.
white fireman, named Gof, was badly cut
on the head by falling brick. During the
day man working among the debris was
sufocated by smoke and carried to the hos
pital in helpless condition. The fremen
are still playing on the smouldering ruins.
The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900; insurance,
$3.50, 200.

CALIFORNIA DYNAMITE.
The Plot Against Prominent Citizens and
the Chinese.

SAN Francisco, Dec. IL.
Most of the prominent citizens were seen,
Wednesday, concerning the dynamite plot
Most of them view it in a seriOus light.
Mayor Bartlett says: "Some days ago Chief
of Police Crowley informed me Of the exis-
tence of such plot, but did not aparehend
any danger. was inclined to believe it was
simply movement for discouraQing Chinese
immigration. They are hair-brained fellows
who probably would not hesitate to inauger.
ate a reign of terror in the Chinese quarter,
and if once started they might be impelled
to 60 farther than they expected.
The comment of the Bulletin in reference
to this affair is worthy of attention. 1t says
"Disorder of any kind would be welcomed
by those who favor a continuance of coOlie
immigration. 1t is about the only condition,
ut this time, that can save them from discom-
fture. The best investment that the Chinese
Six Companies could make is starting dyna-
mite melodrsma of an anti-Chinese move
ment. Should this become associated with
disorder the Chinese Six Companies would
stand chance to win."
Further charges of misdeamor have been
entered against the prisoners, the object be-
ing to have the matter thoroughly ipvesti-
gated.
Henry Weisman, one of the four dynamt.
ers arrested on Tuesday night, was released
on $1,000 bail, Wednesday evening. Follow
ing his Liberation a meeting of the German
branch of the anti -Coolie League was held. at
which over 20O0 persons were in attendance.
Weisman WAS one of the principal speakers.
He denounced Coroner O'Connell. On a call
for show of hands O'Connell was deposed
from the presidency of the anti-Coolie League.
Matters are now in quiescent state and no
trouble is expected.

A CUBAN SCHEME.

Men Put Under Surveillance in New

NEW YORK, Dec. II.
Steamer City of Mexico, lying at Boards
street, Brooklyn, was boarded by Custom
House officers Wednesday, and large guam
tity of arms and ammunition was found in

placed in charge of the ship to await action

King of Spain the revolutionist party in Cuba
and the United States have renewed their en-
deavors to give her freedom, and the loading
OF this steamer with arms is but part of what
is said to be 40 extensive scheme to seize the
island. 1t was said Wednesday night that
the scheme of sending the City of Mexico has
been considered for some time. Itis claimed
that complete understanding has been ar
rived at that 1t was the intention of the peo-
pie who are behind the matter, to take on
here number of men, to drop down to New
port News and there get more who have been
sent there, and then proceed to Florida, where
still more men were to be taken on. The
steamer was then to proceed to a small island
near the southeast coast of Cuba, where the
landing would be made and the arms trans
ferred to Cuba, secretly, in steam launches
which were on board. The captain was not
on board Wednesday night, and other officers,
as well as Custom House officials, would give
no information.
Capt. Whalen at the Barge Office said, ,"We
got the case here through the surveyors office
and really do not know anything about it,
beyond the fact that we have man in charge
on board. The ships will undoubtedly be
libelled, but for how much l cannot say, as
that comes under the marshal's office" On
Alexander dock no one who knew the present
owner of the vessel could be found
The first officer of the City of Mexico said
he had been frequently on vessels that carried
arms to various ports and that these goods
were always sent to fill orders. He denied
that any rifles or carbines we're on the City of
Mexico, and asserted that the vessel had vio-
lated no law.
