THE HOUSE.

A Question Regarding Work in
the Printing Department..
WASHINGTON, February 28.-In the
House to-day Anderson of Iowa offered
a resolution calling on the public
printer for an explanation assto why
the House order for printing reports
of the Pacific Railway Commmission
and the Presidents message on
the subject had not been car
ried out. The resolution gave rise
to sharp debate on the ground that
it was intended to criticize the public
printer. The resolutions finally
passed bya vote Of 131 to 100. The
House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the Oklahoma bill.
The House Committee on Military
Affairs agreed to a favorable report on
the bill which grants an honorable
discharge to telegraph operators who
served in the late war.
The House Committee on Indian
Affairs will report favorably the bills

gales custom House.
NoGALEs, A. T., February 28.-An-
other desperate fight with daggeis and
guns occurred at an early hour this
morning at the Mexican custom house
in this city. When the people rushed
to the scene Of conflict the night force
OF custom guards stated that large
party Of desperadoes had made an effort
to rob the custom house. There was
a large quantity of silver bullion in
the building. Later information
leads to the belief that the trouble
was between the custom house guards
themselves and a party OF line riders
belonging to the San Sabe ranch The
custom house is in town. All of the
parties had been drinking freely. A
guard, Porforers Polo, was found with
an ugly knife wound in his right breast
and bullet wound in his left thigh.
Physicians say that the man cannot
live. Polo is the same guard who
was seriously stabbed some time ago
by party Of robbers who attempted
to break into the custom house.
Nine shots were fired, but it is not
known how many were woundet, sew
eral having made their escape. Jose
Tapia, one of the San Sabe Custom
House officers, has been arrested and
locked up. A large posse in pursuit
of the others was present in this city
last night. All of the parties engaged
in the affair are reticent and the Off
cials are sorely puzzled.

New YoRK, February 2S.- The
Union Square theater, with ali its
contents, was destroyed by fire this
afternoon. The Morton House ID
joining was badly damaged On two
sides, and the Star theater was IN
imminent danger for some time.
The flames started about O'Clock
in the rear rooms Of the top floor Of
the theater. The dry woodwork of
the building blazed like shavinps. and
it was not long before the thin sheet
iron partition between the Morton
House and the theater was melted
and

Dropped onto the stage of the theater.
The scenery and curtains flashed up
and where the members of the Hs6-
rietta Company q few minutes before
hnlshed their morning rehearsal Vas
a roaring furnace. In trice. appaY-
emily tho roof fell and the foor be-
came SO hot that the iremen wera
forced SO far from the building that
their efforts were almost useless. The
damage will amount to little less
than third of a million Of dollars.
Over =
TWENTY AMBULANCE CALLS
Had been sent out prior to 2 O'Clock.
When the smoke began pouring into
the Morton House the guests and SER
wants became frantic and rushed
down stairs pell-mell, many being
severely bruised by trunks flung down
stairs at the same time. When the
firemen found it impossible to save
the theater, they directed their efforts
to save the hotel and Star theater,
which were in constant danger. and
finally succeeded in saving both.
When the burning of the theater be-
came known throughout the city, the
excitement was great and intensified
every moment by the special ambu-
lance calls being sent out. A number
OF firemen were caught by the falling
roof and severely burned, but It Is
thought not fatally.
LATEST REPORT.
The losses to the theater and hotel
aggregate $3.50, 900. Six firemen were
severely injured by the collapse Of Z

SACRAMENTO, February 28. = At a
meeting of the Board Examiners to-
day, Fish Commissioner Reuter-
asked that his accounts be passed up.
on, but owing to the absence of Gov
ernor Waterman, chairman of the
board, who is in San Barnardino, the
matter went over. The Governor
having appointed Messrs. Redding
and Orr in place Of Commissioners
Routier and Harvey, it was thought
that he would prefer auditing the ac-
counts Of the former gentlemen. The
Attorney General and the Secretary
of State think that Judge Wallace's
opinion that those gentlemen are not
entitled to their seats is worthy of
some consideration.

Decision Regarding the Salt Lake
Land.Jumping.

Ian nusJ u unhp1mRs
SALT LAKE, February 49, Judge
Zane, of the United States District
Court, rendered his opinion to-day in
the case of John H. Linck of Colorado,
who jumped thirty acres of land on
Arsenal Hill claiming that it was
open to settlement, but who was
forcibly elected by the Mayor and
police. Judge Zane holds that after
the actual settlers had received their
land, thu legal title to the remainder
of the township was in the city, but
must be sold to the highest bidder,
the proceeds going to the public
schools, as proposed in the act Of the
Legislature. The corporate authori-
ties have no right to hold land for
generations and prevent its settle
ment and occupancy. The effect of
this decision will be to cause all va
can't city lands to be surveyed and
placed on the market.
