Nearly every expression is stated with an If -

of the chief Office, which in turn depends on
the action that may be taken on his address,
There is a general feeling in favor of Powderly,
and yet there are enough differences of opinion
as to methods of reaching the same end to
make 1t pretty lively in the convention. All of
this will appear in time.
A large portion of the morning session was
taken up with a debate over the report of the

The Freight-Rat War.

CUTTING RATES WITHOUT MERCY AND DIsRE-
GARDING THE INTERSTATE LAW.
CHICAGO, Nov. ia local paper says: Some
of the roads are undoubtedly making rates on
west-bound traffic from New York below those
inaugurated by the New York Central day or
two ago. The latter tariff is on the basis of so
cents, tirst-class, New York to Chicago Yes
terday some shippers were furnished with a
memorandum quoting the following rates;

of the memorandum is that it states that the
above rates are subject to change without no.

final, as but one eastern committeeman, Mr..
Philip Dwyer, had full power to act for his
club. The others this morning will have

WHY THE TRENCH Is NOT FIXED.

Commissioner Webb speaking to STAR re-
porter to-day about the complaints respecting
the condition in which the eiectric-light wire
trenches ON Pennsylvania avenue have been
left said that the delay in remedying the mat
ter was due to the fact that it was suspected
that bad packing had been putin by contractors.
Hence the authorities had ordered the trench
to be reopened. Even without this delay, he
said it was necessary to let the trench be some
time before putting the pavement down over
it, SO the earth filling would settle properly.
Otherwise it would cause the asphalt pavement
to sink

THEIR PARTr THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE
TIE coSTSoI-N THIS THEY ARE INITIATING
THEIR OPPONENTS, WHOSE WISDOM, THEY sAx,
HAS BEEN PROVED BY THE RECENT ELECTION.
A number Of the wiser heads in the demo-
cratic party are counseling against any effort
to hold small majority in the House. 1t is
understood that Senators Beck and German
think the party would be better of in the mi
nority, and that with the entire responsibility
upon the republicans during the next
Congress the democrats will have
q much better chance in the congressional cam
paign two years from now. The idea of organ
izing against the admission of new states into
the Union they are said to regard as unpopu-
lar and likely to be hurtfuL It would be better
FOR the democrats themselves to undertake the
admission of some of the territories this
winter. It is said that the President has ex-
pressed an opinion that it would be
UNFORTUNATE FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO HOLD
THE HOUSE.
Two years ago 1t was generally believed by
republicans that they could elect majority Of
the present Congress. There was a great con-
fict of opinion among some of the man
ayers as to the advisability Of making
the effort: It was finally decided that
they would try only to reduce the
democratic majority, and by leaving them
the responsibility for the tariff and some other
embarrassing quections, let them work out q
defeat for this year. The men who advised
this course plume themselves on its success.
Some OF the democratic managers remember
this, and are in favor Of adopting the same
tactics. 1t is almost certain that the men who
until yesterday were eager to make the fight
and get the House, if possible, will yield to
better judgment.
HOW THE COUNT STANDS.
1t is generally conceded that Fisher has been
defeated in the tenth Michigan district and
that De Haven, republican, has been elected
over Thompson in the first California. To
overcome this the democrats would have to re-
ceive the certificates for all the doubtful dis
tricts in the south. This would certainly be re-
garded with suspicion by the country at large.
Altogether it seems likely to-day that the DEM
ocrats will not attempt to organize the House.
Some OF their best men concede republican
majority.
ABOUT SEVEN REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
1t is entirely probable that The Stars fig
ures, based on returns several days ago, will
turn out to be correct. The republicans will
have four Representatives in California, three
in Connecticut, all but two In Michigan, one in
West Virginia, and three in North Carolina
Taulbee's district in Kentucky may have gone
republican. This would make the republican
majority about seven.
At republican headquarters they refuse to
give the figures, merely claiming majority.

Prominent Men Charged With Theft.
SENSATION AT SPRINGFIELD, MO-, OVER ARRESTS
FOR GRAND LARCENY.

FOR GRAND LARCENY.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-A special to the Post
Dispatch from Springfield, Mo. says a sensation
was created there to-day by the arrest Of A. Sill
verberg, NJ Summerfeld, L. Freund, John and
A. F. Brown, wealthy and prominent Hebrew
citizens, on charge of grand larceny. The
warrants were issued on the affidavits of
A. Seinberg, of Kansas City, agent for a
wholesale clothing dealer, who charges them
with stealing nearly $4,000 worth Of ready
made clothing. The charge grows out of the
transfer by a man named Gordon of stock
of goods to the parties arrested for a
nominal consideration. Fraud and conspiracy
is charged. Silverberg and Summerfield are
each worth 100000 and are connected with
some of the best Hebrew families in New York
and Chicago.

An alarm of fire was turned in from box No.
124 shortly after o'clock this afternoon, which
brought out several fire companies and num-
Der Of insurance agents to the paint store of
w. H. Butler, on @ street, adjoining the city
post-ofice. The fire started in the cell
lar, and had it gained any Roadway
the entire block, including the post-offce,
would probably have been consumed. The
building is owned by the estate of the late
Luther Martin, of the firm of Martin Butler.
Since the death of Mr.. Martin his partner has
conducted the business. When the fire oc-
CURED several Of the employees were in the
rear part Of the store measuring gasoline,
while the driver of the store wagon, James
Cleary, was in the cellar with lantern look
ing over the stock Of benzine. While thus en-
gagged he was
STARTLED BY THE APPEARANCE OF A BLAZE,
which seemed to cover the entire floor of the
cellar. His face was scorched by the flames
before he could drop the lantern and get out
to the sidewalk. His outcry attracted the at
tention of those in the store, and J. D. Living
stone, a painter, who was present waking
purchases, was the first person to enter
the cellar, where the flames among the many
barrels of oil threatened to cause an explosion.
His presence Of mind and activity no doubt
saved the building from destruction. There
were several barrels OF sand, sueh as used by
painters in the cellar Mr.. Livingstone, with
the assistance of the colored porter, Phil, sue
ceeded in nearly extinguishing the flames with
this sand. Fearing that the fire would go fur
Their an alarm was sounded, which was promptly
responded to by the fire department.
WHEN THE FIREMEN ARRIVED
the flames were still creeping along the floor.
and were making their way to the oil barrels
when water was thrown in. 1t took but few
minutes then to entirely extinguish the fire.
A barrel Of gasoline and several boxes were
taken from the building. When it was learned
that the flames were confined to the cellar. the
insurance men were anxious for the firemen to
cut off the flow Of water, and do as little dam
age as possible in that way. Mr.. Butler, the
proprietor, is out of the city, and the store
Drew. fire marshal, was soon upon the scene,
as were Chief Paris and Commissioner Wheat
ley.
COL. DREW STATED
that the fire was no doubt caused by the Ian
tern in the cellar in the midst of the vapor from
the gasoline, which descends instead of ascend
ing, as other vapors do. Gasoline, he said, is
more dangerous than powder in a fire. The
damage, he thought, would be very light. The
driver who held the lantern when the fire
started said he thought that some of the gaso-
line leaked through the floor to the lamp
are all on the ground floor and in the
cellar. Over the store is the
Red Mems hall The fire in that locality
attracted a large crowd Of persons, including
many business men whose interests are in that
locality. The building and stock is fully in
sured in the National Union, the Firemens and
the Metropolitan insurance companies.
