OPORTO's HOLOCAUST.

A Brutal Struggle Among the Audience
 in the Mad Rush f.r Life.
 OPoRTo, March 23.-The bodies of sixty. six victims of the theatre fire were exposed for Identification yesterday. Many heart rending scenes were witnessed. Beside the bodies there are also ifty-three heaps of un- recognizable remains. Several projects have been organized for the relief of the families of the victims.
 It is reported that some Americans and Englishmen were burned. Electric lights have been provided to enable the searche.s to work without interruption. The fire origi- mated from the blowing of an unprotected gas jet against the scenery. Thsscene shifter saw the fire and rushed to lower the curtain, but before he could reach it the burning scenery fell on the stage. There was panic immediately.
 In the cheaper parts of the house the attend ance was principally of the rougher class, in cluding many sailors and dock porters, who pitilessly crushed down the weaker people in their rush for the doors, using their fists, shoes and knives, and mercile sly slashing their way to the front. Girls, children and women were literally butchered.
 The principal actress saved herself by jumping from @ window. The other mem- bers of the company found an easy exit to the street. The burned theatre. which was formerly circus, was constructed of wood The authorities are blamed, because archi- tecls had condemed the building.

THE QUARANTINE BILL,
Governor Hill, in Approving the Act, Pays
 His Respects to MT. PIatt.

Governor Hill, in Approving the Act, Pays
 His Respects to MT. PIatt.
 ALBANY, March Ex-Governor Hill has ap- pl oved the Fassett bill amending the quaran- tine act. He submitted to the senate a mes sage with his approval, saying that the bill as originally introduced was objectionable, as it would give the health officer all fees re- quired, except certain specified amounts paid to employees. It was deceptive ill this respect, as it pretended to reduce the officers income. As amended on motion of Mr. Linson, how ever, the income really limited to SlOOOO, and this obviated the objection. There is, says the governor, one objectionable clause. providing that the secretary shall not be ap- pointed by the commissioners, but by the president of the board. This was evidently inserted in view of another pending bill, wherein 1t is sought to legislate into the office of president of the board a notorious member of the pi esent board, whose term as quaran- tine commissis ner has long since expired. But as such latter bill is not very likely to become a law, it does not seem proper that the one objectionable clause should be per- r1itted to defeat the whole bill, though that may have been one of the purposes of it's re- tention. reform in quarantine matters has been steadily resisted in the legislature during the past three years, and the present bill affords reasonable assurance that with a change of officials, which it is believed cannot be much longer postponed, the quarantine de- partment will hereafter be better admin istered. There does not see m to be any serious constitutional question, and the bill is there fore approved.

 Burlington Strike.

CHICAGO, March 23.-The strike of the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy engineers and firemen has now lasted twenty-five days, and the 1,L63 engineers and 1.OG3 firemen have lost all chance oi future employment on the railroad. It has been a costly strike to the Brotherhood, as the following estimate will show:

 It is estimatel that the loss to the Burlington company is ill the neighborhood of s, ,000 GOO, while the damage to business interests along the line of the road through an interruption of shipments is beyond ejaculation, but cer- tainly very great.

A Remarkable Clock Which Mary.a=i

WAsHISGToN, March 23-A patent for a new clock or chrononeier has just been granted that is attracting consid -rable ten- uon hers. It is the invention of ". H- and J. D. Gray, of Maryland, who claim that it can be made to run, if necessary, for years after being once wound up Other special features of this timepiece are that it is also luteiy nniseless when in operation and does away entirely with the pendulum and balance wheel nov used in clocks and watches The running gear, inc.ud ng both the striking and time mechanism, consists of Lut six wheels, and it requires only one spring to propel both of these attachments By the use of 8 partial self winding spring connected to two of the whee.s the in, entors utilize the power wasted by frict- on in ether timepiA ces, thus enabling the clock to run a much greater length os time with the same motive power, ur by once winding it up.

RADICALISM IN ENGLAND.
THE MEANING OF THE LOCAL Gov-
 EMINENT BILL.


 Will Effect--A Similar Measure for Scotland and Ireland Only Q Question of T:me-Other Foreign Gossip.
 LONDON, March 23.-The local government bill, as it is legally entitled, continues to be the chief subject of dis cussion in the press of the entire kingdom. It begins to be seen that there is a big home rule plan behind it. In fact, it is frankly stated by the advocates of the b.ll that the extension of the system to Scotland and Ireland is merely a matter of time Should the proposed change prove in it's test as valuable as it appears to be in theory, the policy of the opposition will be to make few, if any, amendments, so as not to de.ay the progress of the measu @.
 The most surprising feature of the whole matter is the fact that tg.e most radical change ill the English governmental plan known m modern times meets with little or no opposi- tion from any direction The newspapers, Radical and Conservative, unite in indorsing the measure and in heaping encomiums on Mir. Ritchie. This can be explained only by the fact that the far reaching results of the change proposed are not grasped. Whel. the city of London for instance, is made county by itself and turned over to the people to govern. the change from the present system of things, when neariy all the responsible e otfi,iais are appointive, can be imagined. When the control of the police, of the lcens- ing of all pubic privile ,es, those pertaining t, railway corporations included, etc., s taken away from parliament and the crown and placed directly in the hands of the people, to be administered by those whom they choose to elect, London will be placed almost exactly on the basis of an American city. So many great questions are involved in the bill that it is scarcely possible anything can be done with it at this session. It has come to stay, however, and will keep statesmen busy for a long time to come

A Strange UDheayal.

TULLAHoMA, Tenn, March 23.-A strange upheaval occurred on the farm of MT. Eoff, on Duck river, Coffee county, a few days ago. A strange rumbling noise was heard by the residents of MT.

There were thoughts of an earthquake, and many were badly scared After the nose subsided Mr. Eoff found, a few hundred feet from the house, s, s,range cause for the unusual dis turbance and nose. He found for meas ured distance of forty-eight feet that large chunks of rocks, weighing ten tons, had heen shattered in many instances, and in other in- stances they were split in twain The work was done by no human hands, and there is nothing to indicate that it other than an upheaval and explosion of unknown elements 1ndergrOund.

A Good Reason for a Queer Suit.

CHICAGO, March 23.--Mrs. Sarah B. Brom- well, of some note as Sp:rituaIist medium, is suing in Judge Collins court to have a decree of divorce granted her six years ago set aside, on the grounds that she was insane at the time. In her petition she says she was confined in the Batavia insane asylum in 1879, but in short time was returned to Chicago. She says that she was not adjudged insane until March, 1887, and consequently the divorce should be set aside. The real cause for the proceedings is that her husband died two years ago, leaving considerable estate which she can inherit if she can get the di- vorce annulled.

SPEAKER CARLISLE,S VIEWS.
1o Denies the Authenticity of Re-
 gently Published Interyiew.o

gently Published "Interview.'
 WASHINGTON, March 23.--The attention oi Speaker Carlisle being called to what pur- ported to be an interview with him published Ill a Philadelphia paper, he disclaimed all re- sponsibility for the publication. He sad he had not been interviewed at all on the suo- jects mentioned, and that while there were some statements contained in the publication from which he did not dissent, there were others which entirely misrepresented his views. He said he was opposed to the repea of the duties on sugar, and believed that there should be moderate and reasonable reduc- tion of those duties, as ill cases of many other articles subject to tax under the customs laws. He regarded the duties on sugar as almost en- tirely revenue tax, and believed it was one of the duties that should be continued for that reason.
 MT. Carlisle said that when the question came mp ill the house it would be found that the revenue reformers were the best friends of the sugar interests, and that the high pro- tectionists would advocate and vote for much greater reductions than any proposed in the Mills bill or ever contemplated by the ma .or- ity of tae committee of ways and means
 "The contest will be between the revenue reformers on the one s.de contending for moderate reduction only, with proper classi- fcation, and the representatives of other pro- tected interests who want the greatest part of the reductions of the revenue to be taken off sugar, tobacco, and perhaps whisky"
 MT. Carlisle said further: II have never expressed nor intinated doubt as to the proprietv of placing wool on the free list. 1t is the first necessary step toward securing cheaper clothing for the people and at the same time enabling our manufacturers of woolen goods to compete successfully with their foreign rivals, and regard it as one of the most important provisions contained in the bill to be reported from the committee on ways and means"
