DISASTROUS FIRE.

Burning of the National Theater at wash

in the Burned Building.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 27.-
Fire which broke out between one and
two O'Clock this morning on Z street,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, the,
flames of which were not extinguished
until half past four, is still smouldering-
The site upon which stood one of the,
largest theatres in the city is now mass.
of ruins. All of the front and side walls
of the National Theatre, which also con-
Ter & Jones, have fallen. The scene at,
this hour beggars description. W. W.
Rapelo, owner of the theatre, estimated
it's value at 100000, and says the insur
ance amounts TO $4,000 The furni-
ture, scenery and other properties Rapelo
valued at $4,000
Lolita, the actress, owned $4,000 of
the theatre stock.
Miller s Jones estimate their loss at.
$4,000, part of which is covered by in
surance.
The tailoring establishment and con-
fectionery store underneath the billiard
room were also destroyed, but the losses
do not exceed 81, 500.

Good houses greeted them nightly.

Guiding the manuscript of his new play,
GA Maynard Woman" which was to-
have been produced next season.
All the members of the company lost
their wardrobe, properties and special
scenery. The loss to the company ex-
ceeds $4,000.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Matthew Brady, the engineer and watch
man had his sleeping quarters in the sec
ond story. When Officer Penney, who
turned in the alarm, returned to the scene
of the fire he discovered Brady at the
window of his room, and barely saved his
life by placing a ladder in position to en-
able him to escape.
The flames caught on the back of the
building of the Harris House, but beyond
burning the cornices and Window-fram
did but comparatively little damage. The
entire loss by fire will probably not ex-
coed 5000, 900. The Jackson House,
Brache's French Restaurant and Eek
STEMS saloon, all east of the theater
building, were considerably damaged by
water.

The emancipation of the slaves 10
Brazil is a prospect which appears likely
to be realized in the near future with
out ill-feeling or resentment on the part
of the owners. The chamber of depu.
ties is engaged in discussing the details
OF the scheme with a practical good
sense which augurs success. The king
has already e~mancipated all government
slaves. so the question now only
concerns those held by private
owners. The bill now under de-
bate proposes the immediate lib
Grafton Of all slaves over 60
years old. 1t is believed that this pro-
Vision alone will turn more than 100, 900
slaves into freedmen. But since TO
many worn out in service ~self-support
might TO anything but a boon, il is
provided that the masters must take
care of the sick and infirm among them,
and provision is made for the labor of
those still able to work. A new regis
tration is to be made of all slaves under
go years, with an exact valuation OF
them, according to ages.
IL is provided that certain payments
from the emancipation fund shall be
made by preference for the liberation of
tHe nlaNca VI lnOSc planters WHO VIII
free their slaves after FIVE years service,
on receiving outright half the valuation
of them IS compensation. Another
clause which has done much to satisfy
the planters, IS the one that imports
free labor for plantations at the govern
ment's expense Thus it is probable
that the planters will so far accept the
plan for five years service and half
compensation that the years 1890 and
1891, should the present bill be passed,
will witness almost universal omancipa-
ton.
