WESTERN UNION OFFICE. Crossed Wires Start a Little Blaze Up
 in the Cupola.

in the Cupola.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Two wires crossing and forming a circuit are supposed to have caused fire in the Western Union building this morning about 4 o'clock. About that hour Officer Patrick Weldon of the Second precinct saw flames issuing from the rear of the cupola of the Western Union building and immediately turned in 8 still alarm at the Fulton street engine house.
 At 9 o'clock the engines ceased pumping and the employees of the building went to work clearing up the wreck. Neither the operating or battery rooms had been dis turbed, but the stairways and hallways were filled with ashes and water. The entire damage will not exceed $1,500, which, of course, is fully covered by insurance.
 The cause of the fire was undoubtedly the crossing of two Western Union wires. By crossing they had formed circuit, and as the copy paper was of an oily nature it was easily ignited.
 At the time the fire broke ont there were about three operators on duty, the remainder having gone home. The only other occu- pants of the building at the time were half dozen girls employed in the restaurant. who sleep in the building. At first they knew nothing of what was occurring, but as the firemen got to work and the water began to descend from the cupola they became aware that something unusual was happening. The operators went with their work but someone looked in the girls dormitorJ and yelled "fre." In few minutes six spectral figures, clad in flowing robes of vir gin white, were rushing wildly about thu halls calling upon someone to save them They were soon quisted, and having donnet their everyday attire went about their work

 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-The National league, through A. G. Spalding, John B. Day and John I. Rogers, make an address to the public to-day. Itreviews the history of the league since its organization in 1876, and then explains that the reserve rule was ne- cessary to the welfare of the game; further, this reserve rule that the seeding players have said so much against, they were incor- porated into . central tribunal of sixteen di- reetors, who will have the power to transfer players with or without their consent from one club to another. This is the same as the eserve rule. The address, in part, says:

Sir Henry James, Argument in Be- half of the Times Before the Parnell Commission.

Sir Henry James, Argument i'm Be-
 half of the Times Before the ParnelI
 Commission.
 LONDON, Nov. 21.-The argument in be- half of the Times by Sir Henry James was continued before the Parnell commission to- day. Referring to the moonlighters in Ire. land he said that they acted more like bur- glars than like police of the league. Sir Henry referred to the murder of Policeman Brett, by Allen Gould and Larkin hear Man. chester in 1867, and said that the murdersrs had been held up as heroes worthy of imita- tion. Mir. Davitt, himself had unveiled monument to their memory. and there was ample evidence that the example of these murderers had been landed as worthy of be- ing followed. Continuing Sir Henry referred to the difficulty the Times had experienced in getting evidence relative to the transao- tions of the inner councils of the league, and for this reason Attorney General Webster had not been able to prove the statements he had made in his address in opening the case for the Times. Sir Henry complained that Sir Charles Russell, Mir. Parnell's' counsel, members of the Parnellites implicated in the charges made by the Times whom he had promised to call to testify.
 Presiding Justice Hannen interrupted Sir Henry at this point, remarking that Sir Charles had only said that they would testi- fly if the court and counsel for the Times wished them to.
 Notwithstanding Justice Hannen's state- ment Sir Henry James eontended that direct promise had been made that MT. Will liam Redmond should be called. The most important witnesses on the Parnellite eide of the case, Sir Henry declared had wilfully ab- sented themselves. The court here ad- journed.
