New YORK, June 6.-About half-past 6
this morning fire broke cut in Tony Pas
tors Theater. AS the flames gained rapid
headway, three alarms were sent out. The
theater is in the, Tammany Hall building,
and adioins the Academy Of Music, which
at one time was threatened by the flames.
By dint of hard work, however, the firemeii
succeeded in preventing this, and at S:45
the fire was got under control. Both Tam
many Hall and Tony Pastors Theater was
wrecked, and the whole inside OF the build
ing is in ruins. Only the front on Four
teenth street remains. The damage can not
be less than $50 900. The fire started in
the scene room of the theater, and the
flames were burning fiereely when the firemen
arrived. The proximity OF the Academy OF
Music was an additional danger.

BUTTE, MONTANA. SATURDAY JUNE 9, 1888

II j 4
with the nomination for Vice President,
and this done, the majority of the delegates
would leave for their homes on the night
trains. 1t being necessary for the conyen-
tion to take recess without Vice Pres-
dent. the Indiana men were smart enough
to seize upon the advantage and make the
most of it. Promptly sending their men
out through the hotels, they claimed that
the unexpected delay of twenty-four hours
was victory for the opposition, and that
the state would yet be broken. They re-
newed their visits to other delegations. and
repeated their now well-worn arguments.
Some anxiety was felt by the Thurman men
when it became known that another meet
ing OF the Ohio delegation was called for.
this evening. The fear was expressed that
they would try to revoke the action BY
which Thurman was endorsed, but no sucf
action was taken.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

Senator Morgan Assails the Republican,
for Making Political Capital Out of the
Fisheries Treaty : Sparring in the
House.
WASHINGTON, June T. In the Senate,
Morgan asked leave to offer a preamble
and resolution setting forth the report OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Sherman objected to this introduction.
Morgan demanded the right to speak on
the motion to refer.
The chair held he could not be permitted
to speak until unanimous consent was
given for the introduction. The resolu.
ton was given.
Cameron: Imove to proceed to execu-
tive business.
Morgan: do not yield the floor for that
purpose. This important treaty has been
made the mere political football OF great
party for the sake OF advancing the inter
ests OF a certain gentleman in the national
convention to be held in Chicago. Despite
the ruling of the chair against him, Morgan
maintained his ground and read the ad-
dress delivered by him on the subject in
executive session. One OF the sentences OF
his speech was: 'The Senate may make war
necessary, as l am very much afraid we are
doing here to-day" The action of Repub-
lican Senators, he said was doubtless with
view of exciting the antagonism of Irish
voters to the President because Of his al
legged subserviency to British influences.
That charge ranked with injustice. Con
gress, he said, had given the President the
power which all Presidents possessed since
1850, to wage war on paper on British
commerce. If the President had pushed it
to the point OF real war, the country would
ing failed to do So, he was charged in the
report of the majority of the COMMITTEES
on Foreign Relations with usurDing and
abusing constitutional power. The reso-
lutions went over without action and after
routine business the Senate adjourned til
Monday.

THE COAST CROWD.
All Booming Thurman Who viii be
Nominated To-Day, Doubtless, by Ac-
clamation.

ST. LOUIS, June 6.--This was an off day
for California and the Coast which sank al
most into insignifcance compared with the
previous day when they were the center ol
attraction. The East monopolized every.
thing to day, and the Coast was not heard
from. The representatives were rather
| still in the convention as each man had his
work mapped out and they applied them
selves industriously to pushing home in
terests. Free coinage and free ships was
the shibboleth that inspired the Pacific
delegates and owing to the late meeting of
the committee on resolutions which lasted
| until 3 O'Clock this morning. Coast dele
gates came in slowly one by one, Maurice
Schmitt was the first to take a. chair, his
natty attire set off with an immaculate
white neektie transposed for the time being
as he wore a section OF red bandana en-
circling his shirtless collar in a true lovers
knot.
THURMAN CROPPED OUT
all over him, and he spoke Thurman for
first and last choice. Colonel Tarpey
not visible during the session, but report
ers found him at headquarters. where he
was engaged collecting points for his
speech in the nomination of Thurman
tomorrow. The address will be brief and
pointed and the merits of Judge Thurman
will be set forth as the old Roman from
Columbus-the strongest in the party
to-day. The Coast delegation has already
distributed six Thousand bandanas and
it looks as though they had contracted to
supply the entire convention with the
crimson emblems of their candidate for the
second place. When Maurice Schmitt took
his seat this morning he was tianked by two.
monstrous packages, addressed to the
California delegation, contained bandanas
enough to decorate every delegate in the
convention. In q few minutes they we're AL
distributed and the clubs began to demand
colors, to
ADD TO THEIR REGALIA.
Thur,oan leads this evening and there is no
change in the situation, which indicates bis
nomination tomorrow. At the
morning session California will take the field
again and the enthusiasm promises to run
high during Colonel Tarpey's
speech, as the magnanimOus action uf the
gentleman from California, IN everything
connected with the convention, has elicited
only the most favorable comment.
COLORADO AND IDAHO.
Colorado was entertained last evening at
the Mercantile Club. where Colonel j. c.
Townsend, general passenger agent of the
Missouri Pacific. presided at the banquet
that included the best edibles and drinka-
bles that could be provided. Idaho is Civ
ing little notice to politics and the dele
gates are booming the new Ceur d'Alene |
district, for which they predict a great fu-
ture in the way OF gold production. Idaho |
is Internationally for Thurman and will
entertain the name OF no other candidate. |

Thurman's Strength.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE Herald (ln-
dependent Democratic), will say tomorrow
concerning Thurman's nomination that
the name of Thurman will strengthen the
national ticket will not be denied by his
most confirmed partisan opponents. Every
vote that the revengeful monopolists will
throw against him will bring a thousand
suffrages that no lesser candidate could
have commanded.

volume of applause when the opening SEN

that plank, the convention fairly rose toits
feet and cheered wildly for q full minute.

The Democratic party OF the United

renews the pledge of its fidelity to the
faith; reaffirms the platform OF
