Important improvements.

The march Of progress and improve
ment is kept up all over Waco. No
sooner had dirt been broken for the
handsome passenger depot the Cotton
Belt is erecting at the corner of Mary
and Third streets that an impetus
was given to other improvements.
On yesterday the plans and specifi-
cations of two story block in the
same vicinity, prepared by Messrs.
LarmOur & Herbert, were approved
and accepted, and work on the new
building will begin in a few days.
The block will front S21a feet on
Third street and $50 feet on Mary and
will contain nine stores on the ground
floor, the upper story being fitted up
as = hotel. The block is to be built
Jointly by Messrs. Wiley Jones, J. w.
Mann and Sid Olive and will cover
the ground occupied by the old Wiley
Jones livery stable. The space be-
tween the building and the new de-
pot will be we'll paved and macadam-
lied thus making an excellent street
or, practically, it will be moving
Mary street north to the rear of the
depot. This will be big improve
ment to the lower portion of town.

FIREMAN IN MASS MEETING.
Important Action Taken by the
Department Last Nirht.

Department Last Night.
The Waco Fire Department held an
important mass meeting at their hall
last night. The meeting was called
by chief A. M. Prescott, on q request
to him signed by upwards of twenty
members, who desired the meeting to
have discussion Of the action of the
city council in indefinitely postpon-
ing action on the building of the
new fire station. Chief Prescott pre-
sided and Secretary w. r. Stills kept
the records. At the outset of the
meeting Chief Prescott explained the
purpose for which 1t had been called,
and further, he deprecated any hasty
action OH the part of the department,
which would injure its efficacy or
destroy Its prestige. He urged re.
newed appeals to the council for the
building of the new station.
The chief then invited every men,
Der present to express himself upon
the subject and many responded.
Some were in favor of taking imme-
diate steps to express their disappro-
baton of the course of the city coun-
Gil in ignoring their petitions and
sighting the recommendations OF
their chief. Cooler heads cOunseled a
wiser course, and pleaded for another
appeal to the council. Among those
who spoke on the subject were Ben
Alexander, E. F. Reese, j. r. Wilkes,
Toney Hoeffher. Chief Prescott, John
Fall, Herbert Little, Will Stills, Bob
Yeates and others. AT the conclusion
of the discussion, Secretary Will Stills
offered the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That committee of five
be appointed by the chief to wait on
the city council at once, and demand
of that body some satisfaction within
the next thirty days regarding the
new fire station, and if no satisfaction
be given then, that the department
proceed to disband.
The department passed thanks to
Mr.. j. T. Wilson for hot coffee and
lunch furnished the boys after the fire
last Thursday night.
The mass meeting then adjourned

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb. 9-Gladstone returned yesterday
from Italy, and Harrington from Monte Carlo.
They arrived In Paris within one hour OF each
other, but did not travel together thence Since
their political severance they have been
In public together, although In the house OF CON-
mons they frequently sit next TO each other and
converse in friendly manner. Harrington yes
terday arrived unnoticed- Gladstone had a mag
nifcent reception at Dover, also Ia London at
Charring Cross station. "The Grand Old Man." as
the liberals love to call him, looked as hale and
vigorous as ever. He will have plenty or work at
the present session, which, IL Is runored,
WILL BE A STORMY ONE.
There Is already much speculation about the
meaning OF the urgent whip sent to the govern
ment supporters TO be In their places. One tory
organ alleges that the government proposes to ask
parliament TO declare that no man who has been
imprisoned shall sit in the house; p proceeding
which already, IN the present state OF things,
would disquaify about SIX representatives or Ire
land. This Is probably a case OF the wish being
fatner TO the thought The real meaning OF the anx
ETY. OF the government 10 have majority the very
first day OF the opening OF parliament is because
the Irish members threaten to bring forward the
Imprisonment of their colleagues as a matter or

NOT POLITICAL MOVE.
Surprise I'm England AZ the Resignation
Of LOrd Dufferin.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Lord Dunerin's resignation OF
the viceroyalty OF India comes as a surprise
to every body here. His action has nothing TO do
with politics. and is dictated solely by personal
and family considerations. The appointment OF
Lahsdowne TO succeed him is thought in some
quarters a rather rash step. He owed his appoint
ment to Canada solely TO the fact that he was a
strong supporter In parliament OF the Interest OF
the landlords In English politics. The only thing
he ever did TO distinguish himself was TO resign a
subordinate Office under Gladstone because he dis
approved a very moderate measure In the interests
or tenants, known as the compensation for dis
turbance bill. Lord Stanley, Of Preston, the new
g0vernOr-general OF Canada, Is also rather q non-
entity in politics, either as speaker or admins
traitor, although personally popular; far more
popular, indeed, than his brother, Earl Derby, 10
whose earldom he win some day succeed The
presence OF Stanley In the cabinet gave little
strength TO the government; hence he Is shelved
by being appointed to an ornamental post.
