Ex-Comnissioner Sparks-Randail De-
fends Him and Thinks the Adninistra-

ington News.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-In committee oi

bill was resumed. Several hours debate
took place in unsuccessful efforts to reduce
the appropriation relating TO special agents
of the land Office from $10O. 600 to $500, 600
Mr.. Laird, of Nebraska, bitterly de-
nounced the past policy of the land office
under General Sparks, whom he ssvagely

Mr.. Randall, in the debate on this amend
ment, said the present administration had

of the economies; all of the reforms of Gen.
eral Sparks he said, ''seem to have taken
wings. / don't know why"
On motion of Mr. McAdoo, of New Jer-
sey, an item was inserted appropriating

DUBoIs DEPoT, PENv.. June 21.-Three
thousand people homeless, upward of ST.
900, 600 worth of property destroyed and the
entire business portion of the city in ruins
Such in substance, is the result of the great
conf1agration that had its inception at the
Baker House and ceased only OF its own ac-
cord when darkness covered the prosperous
of Dubois. Brick buildings considered
fre-proof, succumbed alike with the
wooden structures, and $50 business places
and dwellings covering thirty acres of
ground, are in ashes Persons who were
worth 100000 and $500 are alike in dis
tress and receiving aid from neighboring
towns. At the fair grounds number of
tables are set, and the sufferers are fed by
the hundreds
In the early stages of the fire several
burning buildings were foolishly blown
up by dynamite, which only added
to the fury of the flames. The borough
for two years past has had no active fire
department., and when the services of such
were needed, only very poor array of SOL
diers could be found to do battle 1t was
reported that several lives were lost. but at
this writing only few broken limbs and q
number of serious bruises sare known.
Generous aid is desired, and il Is arriving
on every train. More is needed, however,
