ARLINGTON ABLAZE.
Heavy Damage Done to Business
Buildings.


PORTLAND, OREa., March 21.-An
Arlington Oregon special says A
fire broke out this afternoon at three
O'Clock in town. 1t was first discov-
cred in Fl. S. Comforts drug store,
and before anything could be done,
the flames passed beyond control
The fire then caught D. S. Sprinkle
and Company's store building
and burned the whole block, in
Guiding the Arlington Times
building, restaurant building, J. @.
Adams vacant building, the building
of M. G. Harris, J. G. Haskins, an
old blacksmith shop, and the County
Jail. In the meantime it had spread
to the opposite side of the street and
burned Kirby's hall, J. B. Woods
furniture and provision store,a "a build
ing owned by NJ. V. Harrison, and
Condor & Cornish's bank. The latter
was brick and not totally destroyed.
Here the fire was stopped by NJ. v.
Harrison's brick building. For
a time it looked as though
the whole town was going,
but by the desperate work on
the part Of every one, the fire was
kept within the limits mentioned. A
large number of people were in from
the country to attend the Democratic
Convention to be held here to-mor-
row. and these men rendered con-
siderable assistance. The cause of
the fire is unknown. 1t is impossible
to give a correct estimateiof the losses
tonight, but they will probably OK.

Important Proceedings on the
Labor Question.


WASHINGTON, March 21.-In the
House to-day, Randall presented the
resolutions Of the Philadelp phia Board
of Trade, declaring that the Mills
tariff bill, if it should become law,
would prove injurious to many i'm
portant and long established indus
OF the country. Referred.
The Hou:e then went into commit
tee of the whole on the bill referring
to the Court Of Claims for the adjust
ment of the accounts of laborers,
workmen and mechanics arising un-
der the eight-hour law.
Rogers, OF Arkansas, in opposing
the bill, said that it would involve an
expenditure Of nearly $40, 900, 900. The
proposition was ill-considered, and
vicious in its tendency.
Tillman of South Carolina regarded
the measure as an attack upon the
Treasury. The most humiliating
thing to him in connection with Con-
gressional matters was the way mem

would plunge Ireland into sea of
disaster and trouble, the end of which
no one could foresee.
