 land.
 WASHINGTON, January 4.-Western mem bers of Congress who have returned to Washington from their holiday vacation say the prospects are poor for any anti-silver legislation in the House this session. Many of them having interviewed their constitu- ents come back more determined than ever to resist any interference with the ''dollar of our daddies." The question bids fair to lead very soon to an interesting discussion, to say the least, in the House, and one that will engender bad feeling between the Pres ident and some Democratic members. The Republicans in the House as a nle are very we'll disposed towards President Cleveland and are ill favor of giving him a fair show. They will to a great extent, it is said by some who are in @ position to speak for the party, favor liberal appropria- tions, particularly for the navy and for coast defenses. They are in favor of giving Secre- tary Whitney all the money he needs to car " out his plans for building up the navy and they say they will not use the argument that was advanced against them when in power, that the navy ought to be built, but the present party cannot be trusted to do it.

A BIG FIRE IN BROOKLYN.

 D.nlap's Hat Factory Destroyed and
 Two Hundred Hands Thrown Out
 of Work.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 4.-Mr. R. Dunlap, whose large hat factory, extending from No. 70 to No. 7S Nostrand avenue, Brooklyn, wes de- stroyed by fire early this morning, said, when viewing the ruins, that he should proceed as soon as possible to put up the factory again. The fire, he said, was most unfortunate, for it had thrown over two hundred employees out of employment, and must therefore cause considerable suffering. The loss to the company he thought would fall 8 little short of $200, 900. He could not tell exactly, for it was a four story brick structure, and they had good part of the brick and the grounds and foundation left. It had all the modern appliances for extinguishing fires, but the fire was so sudden that the watch man, Michael Sullivan, did not have time to use them.
 Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning Sul- livan started to make tour through the building, leaving his huge Newfoundland dog apparently asleep in the office by the stove. The office is situated on the second floor on the Park avenue side. Sullivan had hardly reached the third floor when he heard noise in the direction of the office and he started back. Before he reached the office he was met by the dog, which was in sheet of flame. The animal dashed down the stairway and was not seen again Sullivan 1ashed to the office and tried to use the fire extinguisher, but was unable to do so, ,..being driven back by volume of flames and smoke. He was severely burned about the hands and face and his hair and eyebrows were singed. He ran to the fire alarm box and sent out an alarm, which brought sever al steamers, but the flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save the building. The only way, the watchman says, that he can account for the origin of the fire is by supposing that the dog overturned can of kerosene oil, which, coming in contact wit h the stove, exploded and set the office on fire.

A Great Flood In The Lumber Runs of
 PenRSylvanfa.


 BRADFORD, Pa., Jan. 4.-A special to the Era from Emporium says: "Heavy rains for the past two days and large quantities of snow on the hills have combined to produce the most violent flood known in many years along the Driftwood and Sinnamahoning creeks. To-day millions of logs have brok- en from treir fsstenings and are going down the swollen rivers at terrific rate. It is said the loss to lumber men will approach three million dollars. At this place there is over two feet of water in many of tke streets. All telegraphie communication to the east is lost and trains on the Philadelphia & Erie railroad are obliged to flag their way east. Reports from Cameron state that the greater part of that place is under water and residents are in great fear lest their houses be swept away. A million feet of logs were torn loose and swept down Hunts run. Sawmills and dams along the creeks are in imminent dan ger of being carried away. This is night of great anxiety throughout the valley and the excitement is intense. No further idea of the loss can be estimated until daylight. The water has risen slowly"

A Newspaper Reporters Experience With
the tr,.f secretary of War.
1t must not De supposed that Secretary
Stan,o on was always unapproachable. Now
and then. when his anxiety was unusually
great. it was easy to imagine more agreea-
bic people than the war secretary. But
what terribly wearing duty was his! On
one Occasion--during the battles of the
Wilderness-a reporter OF The Chronicle.
the secretary's special favorite, had been
at the department from early evening I'M
til ; a. III. He was sure there was inlpor-
tant news. and he was determined to get
it. But not line could he get hold Of,
and the secretary declined to admit him to
the inner office. He sat in the little side
room all alone save for his cigar and the
small errand boy Of The Chronicle. who
WAS coiled up ON a chair fast asleep. He
knew the secretary was in his room, and
he would stay as long as the secretary did.
1t was II. III. when the doors opened and
Mr.. Stanton walked out. The reporter at
once stood before him.
You here yeti" said Mr.. Stanton.
"Yes, sir" was the reply.
MY boy, sent you word frequently

ing that can give to the press. Even if
l did give you anything, it is too late

ness for me and the copy by the time

door,

pointed. Say the word Start off the boy
and turn up the Light at the high desk
there"
The boy was off in second, and the
weary cross-graincd secretary took his
position standings at the high desk. He
wrote steadily without speaking a word
for ut least an hour, tearing up many
sheets and throwing them in small pieces
upon the floor and making many orasures.
the reporter was on pins and needles.
When he was through he gava the re-
porter dozen or more sl:lull ses Of copy
headed ",The Situation" Then lie said:
Nov, don't tell on ME, and come let us
go away from, here" They walked slowly
out OF the department. To the reporter it
seemed they went like s11ails. At the car
riage door they said good night. Horses
never before so galloppe(l down the ave-
nue. as did those of The Chronicle mans
carriage. The article on "The Situation"
appeared double-leaded in second edition
of The Chronicle 4 very brief while after
ward. and was the cause of wide comment.
Tor 1t carried the stamp OF authority upon
its face. 1t was teiegraphe,l all over the
country. The printers preserved their takes
OF the copy us nemrntoes, and have no
doubt they are somewhere yet retained as

only time during Mr.. Stanton's incum-
bency OF the war department that his
handwriting was seen in the composing
room Of Il newspaper Office. The article
was not published as from the secretary

The Candy Vendors Of Cuba.

The dulcero, or vender of sweets is
everywhere and at all hours. Many Of
them squat at street corners like our own
patient caramel and peanut-candy mer-
chants, but the most picturesque are the
negro mulatto, and all-sorts, who crowd
their wares into a bridge-like box which
they carry upon their heads and shoulders.
1t is impossible to tell why, but they fly
through the streets as though possessed;
and their calls, interspersed by melodious
whistling and bars Of warbling more
weird than that Of the Tyrolese, though as
sweet, are bursts of harbarous sound truly
appalling. At night these yells are sup
pressed by authority. Then the dulceros
tasten little bells to their boxes, and the
silver tinkling OF these sweetly winsorle
campaniilas mingle pleasingly with the
charming night sounds OF the happy
hearted city until the small hours when
the cen,i.lcla: at the fortresses upon the
heights have chantel answer to their
chailenyers. Edgar l.. Wakemaus Ha-
