\ GREAT FIRE AT KEY WEST.

More Than Fifty Buildings and a
 Million Dollars Worth of Property
 Destroyed.
 KEY WEST, Fla, March BOA fire start ed in the San Carlos theater at 10 o'clock this morning and soon got beyond the con- trol of the fremen. 4 fresh wind blowing it quickly Tapped up building after building At 1:3O p. m. over fifty houses had been burned, including Masonic Hall, three or four cigar factories and the bonded warehouse containing nearly $25O, 900 worth of tobacco. Officers from the United States steamships Brooklyn and Powhattan blew up some of the houses with powder. The fire worked it's way northward, but it's course has been so peculiar that it is difficult to foretell the result. MT. Curry's warehouses have been consumed. The heat was in tense as to drive the frsmen back. This added to the lack of engines and water sup ply will probably result in the total destruc- ton of the city. The buildings of promi- so far consumed are Sawyer's, Bab cocks, Gates, Perry's, Bartt's and Platter sons; the residences of United States Mar shal Williams, MT. Lester and Mir. Brown; the San Carlos theater, the store of Someri- an & Hayman, dry goods; Otto, drugs; Sari- ot dry goods and groceries; Cash groceries; Bartlum, groceries; Brooks, livery stables; the cigar manufactories of Seidenburg, Dal- pino, Saria, Canat and Vols, and the Russell House. The fire was got under control after the destruction of more than million dol lars worth of property. The insurance is less than $100,000. Among the buildings destroyed were several warehouses contain ing tobacco and other valuable merchandise.

 Noise reigned supreme at the big Union armory on Meadow street all day yesterday and far into last night. The occasion was the opening day of the biggest and best dog show ever in New England. Big dogs, little dogs, medium sized dogs and dogs of every conceivable shape and size used their lungs to the best advantage yesterday morning when they found themselves prisoners in the little SKI kennels fast tied and likely to re- main so for some time to come. Even the large and handsome St. Bernards added their tongue to the din. The pug dogs, who boast of an aristooratic and honorable pedi- gree, did not deign to bark or howl. It would be unmannerly. They lay in their pretty cages and received the praises of the ladies in manner which showed plainly that they expected it for their good conduct. The arrangement of the judging pens is different

 From the Committee.

Though an Adverse Report Game
 From the Committed.
 WASHINGTON, March 30.-More than an hour was spent by the Senate in executive ses- sion this afternoon over the nomination of William Merrick to be judge of the United States court for this district. The nomina- tion was reported from the Judiciary com mittee with an adverse recommendation The party lines were not drawn, however, one or two Democrats voting with the majority and at least one Republican with the minority The contest in executive session was confined exclusively to members of the Judiciary com earnest. The sternest opposition was on &C., count of Judge Merrick's age, he being with in a few years of the retiring age. Messrs. Edmunds and Evarts very strongly urged MT. Merrick's age as ample reason why he should not be confirm ed. They thought the principle of appoint ing man to 8 life position within four or five years of the time he would by law be placed on the retired list was reprehensible and that it was pensioning an officer after very little service to the government. MT. Hoar, also of the Judiciary committee, spoke for Judge Merrick and took the opposite ground. During the debate the at titude of Judge Merrick tow ards loyalty to the government during the late war was mentioned very earn estly. He was charged with being south ern sympathizer and with having winked at the riots in Baltimore in the spring of 1861, when the Massachusetts troops were at tackled. When vote was finally taken the nomination was confirmed, 29 to 16. Consid- erable interest was manifested by the Com mittee on Finance concerning pub ication in the New York Sun to- day of dispatch as to the report of the committee on the nomination of Spear to be collector of inter nal revenue in Vermont. The committee threaten to inquire as to the avenue through which the report reached the press.
