FROM WASHINGTON.

1t is not expected that action will be
taken by the senate on the river and harbor
bill before the house acts on the tariff bill.
mediately taken up and passed by the
lower house of congress. 1t was not orig
inal design of the majority of the house. or
the president. that the river and harbor
bill should go to the white house before it
was seen what would be done in the way Of
tariff reform. If the tariff bill should pass
the house the river and harbor bill is to be
sacrificed; but if the house should refuse to
pass the tariff bill, then the river and har-
Dor bill may become law. 1t is held by
the administration that one carries with
it propositions to reduce the surplus suffi-
GENTLY without the other, and that it would
not be advisable to have both law in the
same session of congress. Besides this.
the president prefers that there should be
no river and harbor bill passed until after
the campaign.

A disastrous fire visited Des Moines last
week by which the Daily Leader Office and
the office of the Homestead. an agricultural
paper published in the same building. were
destroyed. A boy was cleaning the forms
with benzine, some of which was split on
the floor, and he stepped on part of match
which set the infamable mass on fire. The
flames were quickly carried to the third
door cutting off the printers and several
girls in the bindery. They escaped by the
roof, two men sliding down telegraph
poles and receiving shock of electricity
en- route which nearly paralyzed them. Mr..

escaped with his life. He waited second
to grab a roll of free trade manuscript
which he had been writing at his desk on
the second floor, and was pursued closely
by the flames, which had cut off escape
from above. The street door being
fastened by some means, he broke open a
feet behind him. About fifty people were
in the building, all of whom were saved.
This is the second time the Leader has
been burned out within two years. Every
thing belonging to the Leader Office was
destroyed, including the subscription lists
of the weekly. The daily lists were in the
safe. The postoffice adjoined the building
and all the mail matter was removed in con-
fusion, but the fire was confined to the
Leader Office. The losses are as follows:
The Leader, $4,000; the Homestead, S.
