GREAT CONFEDERATION IN NEW
YORK MONDAY MORNING.

New YORK. Jan. 80 One of the larg.
est fires that has occurred in this city
for many months broke out in the store
of Henry Rogers & Co., at No. $40
Broadway, this morning. 1t extended
TO and destroyed the five ad jacent stores.
No $40, where the fire originated, was
five story front double building The
flames spread with astonishing rapidity,
and several accidents occurred. About
$40 a, m. President Purroy of the fire
commissioners and several tiremen were
standing on the roof of Nos, $40 and S51
when the walls we're felt to tremble.
Several men were bruised by the falling
bricks. Michael Reilly, assistant fore
man Of hook and ladder No. 8. fell and
received "A bad scalp wound, as well az
other injuries, from which he died this
afternoon. Foreman Sheridan of en-
CINE No. 8 jumped from the burning
roof of No, $40 to SAT, and part of the
wall of the latter tumbed on him. Two
Of his men pulled him from the debris,
under which he had fallen. He was
taken TO the hospital with a ba lv in
jured chest and some broken ribs. He
may die. Foreman Henry of Engine
No. 7 was hurt on the head and shoul
ders. The walls of Nos. $40 and 551 fell
at 5.45 o'clock, and the ruins covered
Broadway. Travel was stopped for sey
eral blocks. When the front wall of No.
$50 fell it reached across Broadway and
carried away the heavy iron cornice of
No, 552. Telegraph poles and wires
were sent flying, and the entire lower
part of No, 552, occupied by Frank ia
cOhs restaurant kppDpr was crushed in
The front of No. 554 was badly damaged
and the plate glass windows of No. $50

AGAINST THE PROPOSED EXTRADI-
TON TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

Senator Hawley has letter from MIR.
Serge "Stepnaik, the well known Rus
STA revolutionIst. protesting against the
ratification of the p opposed extradition
treaty with Russia by the Senate, Step.
naik" sought an Introduction to Senator
Hawley, while the latter was IN London
last summer, for the purpose of making
inquiries as to whether he would be al
lowed to state his views on the proposed
treaty before tn Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate, in case he
should visit America this year, as he at
that time contemp ated doing, Senator
Hawley informed aim that he pres med
the committee would grant him hear
ing. He has now received a letter from
"Stepnaik" saying that he will be un-
able to make the proposed trip. The
letter is accompanied by statement of
the reasons why, IL the writer's opinion,
the treaty should not be ratified. Sena
tor Hawley said t. night that he had
not read the statement, but from his
conversation with "Sepnaik' IN London
he thought it was temperate argument
opposing the ratification of the treaty
on the ground thai 1t permitted the ex-
tradition OF political offenders New
York Times.
The Nihilist leader, known as Step
naik," need have 10 fear of the satifica-
tion OF any treaty with Russia by the
United States Senate which permits the
extradition of political offenders. Eng
land and the Unit, States have never
denied the right of asylum to political
offenders and never will. Least of all
will our country give up to that worst
Of despotism. Russia, those, who, how
much so ever we may think them mis-
taken in their methods are among the
best and noblest men and women of the
world.
As q matter of fact only now
and then Russian Nihilist gets here.

Tribune, says there are only four or five

of the possible return Of these as on ac-

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. Editor: In looking over the
many improvements and different in.
terests of our Town, think the subject
of the determination of a troublesome
nuisance is to be abated or not. namely
Must the fox go? The facts are not
generally known, but none the less true.
that bounty was placed upon Mr.. Fox
year or two since. Thereupon an am.
eteur club was formed; hounds were
procured fiom all the noted kennels of
this and foreign countries and war was
declared which has been kept up with
more Ut less vigilance ever since. But
still the fox IS little ahead, which he
would no doubt have continued. had not
rule of all noted clubs been ignored.
namely: in permitting their guide to
shoot the game. Owing to this fact,
certainly two lives have been sacrificed
Friend melvin" has the skins to prove
the truth of what Nimrod has to say

or not the club will reduce their guides
to the ranks, thus giving them shovel

AN INTERESTING FIGHT.

The Democrats Of the Empire State
were in high stare of excitement last
week. The adroit move of Gov. Hill to
gain majority of the State Democratic
Committee and thus We a member of
the National Committee appointed who
would promote his little boom for u
Presidential nomination came very near
succeeding. The supporters of Presi-
dent Cleveland for a denomination are
alarmed at the strength and the political
dexterity which Governor Hill has
shown as a possible oppoDentin the race
for the Democratic nomination. The
whole machinery of the Federal admin
lstration is set in motion to make Cleve.
lands re. nomination not only probable
but positive. However, his friends see
that it will not do to try and suppress
Gov. Hill or turn him out of the party.
Hill commands the situation in New
York, If any Democrat can arouse the
enthusiasm of "the boys" and carry the
State with a rush. and a hurrah, Gov.
Hill lie the man. 1t will not do for any
politician, even if President, to try and
sit down on him, for the Governor is as
agile and cunning as fox, and when
partsans think they have him boxed up.
he isn't there.
We confess to some curiosity as to the
result of this disagreement between Hill
and the President. 1t may end in the
disruption of the Democratic party in
New York and the election of Repub-
lican president in the next campaign.
Go ahead, gentleman, it is not any Re

Death ola Leading Botan,st.

The death OF DR.. Asa Gray at the ripe
age of n at the Harvard Botanic Gar
nens in Cambridge, has removed one of
three foremost bOtanists Of the world.
DIR. Gray was the father Of the science
of botany in this country, He was born
in Paris, Oneida county, n, Y, Nov. IS
1910 and studied medicine at Fairfield
Medical College. from which he was
graduated in 1881, He did not practice
medicine but devoted himself to the
study of botany. In 1888 he received
the appointment of Bntanist to the
United States Exploring Expedition. but
resigned in 1887, About this time he
was chosen to fill the Fisher Professor
ship of Natural History in Harvard IN
iversity. In 1873 he retired from the
active labor Of teaching at the unIver-
sity in order to devote himself to science
and the care of the herbarIun of Har-
ward. 10 1874 he was chosen one of the
Regents of the Smithsonian Institute, TO
fill the vacancy caused by the death OF

THE TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-ChaIrman
Mills said yesterday that the tariff bill
weuld not be ready for two weeks. In
the meantime there would be no meet
ing of the Committee on Ways and
Means. The Republican memb RS have
declined to meet, as there is no business
before the committee. A representative
who has examined the bill as far as com
pleted thus states an outline of its pro-
visions. In general the proposed reduc
tion will be $4,000, 900 from internal
taxes and $50 100000 from customs as
follows: On wooden goods, $4,000, 600 ;
free wool, $5.000,O00; cottous and other
articles in general use. $15 900, 600; su
gar. twenty per cent. making about $40,
000, 900; steel rails reduced TO $l2 ton ;
pig iron 81 80 a ton; chemicals, large
reduction by articles enumerated. To
the free list besides wool will be admit
ed coal. iron ore, salt and lumber. The
Democratic members of :the committee
are not singly in favor of the sugar re.
ducton. If the bill should be accepted
as a whole they will permit it to remain
but should a contest be made they viii
not insist in the reduction on sugar. The
reduction of the tax on manufactured
tobacco, exclusive of cigars and cigar,
cites and other minor items, is expected
to make up the $25, 100000 from that
source
