There is glass lamp chin
nev so tough that it almost
never breaks in use. 1t is of
the finest glass; it is also per-
feet in form and action.
The glass costs several
times as much as common
glass. The chimney costs two
or three times as much as
others to make; the dealer, of
course, has to pay for it; but
he can afford to sell it as
usual. Some object to it.
Cant afford to sell it, they
say; but they can. 1t brings
good will of more value than
all their brittle-chimney profits
good profit besides.
"Pearl-top" is the chimney;
made by Macbeth & Co.,

AN EXPLODING LAMP
The Probable Cause of the Fatal Fire in
the Tracy MansiOn-A Report AInde
After n Careful Investigation,

she Tracy MnnsiOn-A Report Mnde
After n Careful Investigation.
WASHINGTON, February 6.-Fire Mar
shaI Drew to-day submitted to Chief Parvis
his report on the fire at Secretary Tracy's
house. The report was forwarded to the
District Commissioners. The Fire Marshal
says:
In compliance with your request I made
thorough examination of the burned building
Rt 1884 1 street, Northwest, owned and oc-
cupied by the Hon. B. F. Tracy, Secretary of
the Navy, and from all the evidence to be
cleaned from the hired help In the house and
from the surroundings in the library or main
room on the first floor, l am of the
opinion that, while of course there is no direct
proof that this fire originated from the explo-
sion of coal oil lamp. large double-burner
duplex lamp beng kept on table within the
circle formed by the large bay window, which
lamp was lighted every night. 1t is very likely
that when the family retired the night before
the fire that instead of extinguishing the light
the blaze was turned down low and left burn
ing, which is very dangerous practice, as the
wick is apt to become crusted. preventing a
free flow of flame and keeping the heat below
the crust, thereby causing the thin brass work
of which the burner is composed to become so
hos as to generate gas within the bowl Of the
lamp. causing it to explode.
If this was the cause, as have every reason
to believe, pieces of the lamp being found
scattered in different directions over the floor
within lines of the bay window, and taking the
surroundings into consideration, the bay win
dow being heavily curtained with silk and
lace draperies, and in close proximity to the
lamp, the three doors leading from this room
also having silk portieres with both walls and
ceilings heavily coated with hard oil and
varnish, it would take but a very short time to
enTelop the entire room in flames and it was
from the conditions mentioned, veritable
fire trap. When the fire was first discovered
The door opening from the burning room into
the main hall was closing. as stated by the
butler, James Walsh, who passed said door to
answer the ringing of the front door bell at
which he found man who told him that the
room was on fire. He ran to those doors slid
them open, and is satisfied that he closed them
immediately This cannot be so, as one of the
doors was found pushed back into the partition
and is hardly smoked, while the other one has
the face nearly burned of. In his excitement
he failed to close them. The door in question
opened almost opposite the foot of the main
stairway, up which the fire and dense smoke of
the burning varnish rushed, making it impos-
sible for anything living to have ascended that
stairway. All means of escape was thus cut off
from above so far as the front was concerned
and this column of dense smoke took but few
moments to I'll every room in the house from
the first floor to the roof, no doubt bewildering
everyone who came in contact with it.

,rRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT,

WASHINGTON, February 6.-The rules,
as they were reported complete to-day to the
House, are received with unbounded en-
thusiasm by the Republicans and even
many Democrats, not Of the circle Of Headers,
exhibit satisfaction. The situation in
nutshell is Just this: The rules give the ma
jority not only the power to enact any law
they please, but to do it more rapidly than
ever before in the history of the House.
Filibustering is absolutely abolished, and
that tells the whole story.
THE SPEAKERS POWER.
Ordinary motions to adjourn may be
made, but as soon as it becomes apparent
that motions are being made for purposes
of delay the Speaker will refuse to entertain
them, and will recognize only such motions
as will hasten business. The effect OF this is
now inconceivable. Under the interpreta-
ton placed upon the rules of the last two
Congresses, and under Speaker Carlisle's
occupancy of the chair, legislation dragged
and demagogues monopOlized the time of
the House.
All this will be changed. It is now pre-
dieted by everybody that this will be pre-
eminently business Congress, and there is
little doubt that legislation will be rushed
through at pace unknown for years. 1t is
predicted, particularly by Democrats, that
appropriations will be extraVagant. The
Republicans profess themselves ready to as
sumo full responsibility for all extrava-
gance.
One of the amusing features of this con-
test over rules is that now the parliamentary
code is before them. and embodying even
more rigid provisions against the power of
the minority than have heen exhibited in
the rulings of Speaker Reed hitherto, the
Democrats are meek as Moses, and appear
disposed to let the whole business go
through with little opposition.
THE DEMOCRATIC PURPOSE.
The unvarnished truth is that great ma
jority, if not all, of the Democrats of the
House, eoncede the wisdom of the rules,
with the exception of notoriety seekers,
whose only genius finds play in making dila-
tory motions. The purpose ofthe Democrats
is accomplished, as many of them admit.
They desired to make it appear that Reed
was bulldozlng measures through the House
against law, against the Constitution and
against common decency.
They have succeeded in establishing this
estimate OF him to some extent, and the same
odium rests upon the Republican side of the
House, which unanimously supported him.
The rules will probably be adopted Monday
or Tuesday without more discussion than is
necessary to let the Democrats have their
say, and then the House will get down to
business, and probably for the first time in a
quarter of a century keep even pace with the
Senate. LIGHTNER.

STABBED BY THE FATHER.

Bloody Ending of a Bitter Feud Between
Girl and is Cut by the Angry Parent
Both Men Arrested.
Cries of horror brought Officers Young
and Charming to the corner of Carson and
Twenty-seventh street, Southside, shortly
before o'clock this morning. John
German, aged %, and employed as
a rougher in mill, was lying on the
sidewalk In pool of blood that flowed
from ghastly wound in his back little
above the heart. Standing over him and
fourishing blood-stained knife was james
Dolan.
Both men were Immediately locked up
in the Twenty-eighth ward station house,
where Germans wound was dressed.
His condition was pronounced serious
by the attending physician, and his recovery
is doubtful.
A long and bitter feud has existed between
German and Delan which terminated in the
bloody affray this morning. Dolan has
been paying attentions to Germans daught'
er, and the father violently opposed the
suit. Both men live in row OF houses at
the foot of South Twenty-seventh street,
and last night when they met on the street,
some angry words were exchanged between
them, followed by blows. Dolan whipped
out a knife and stabbed the other.

How Indians Act When Introduced TO Opera

How Indians Act When Introduced TO Opera
and Ice Cream.
A few summers ago one of the surgeons
connected with the Army Medical Museum
was delegated to make trip to the
far West and witness the eelebrat-
ed "Snake Dance" Of the Moqui
Indians, ceremony of that nation
which occurs every three years, and look
into its realism. Living rattlesnakes are
used in this dance, and the careless manner
in which the Indians handle them would
astonish the boldest "snake juggler" of the
side shows. The doctor witnessed the
ceremony and was very kindly treaIed by
all the big chiefs. ard, in fact, all the tribe.
Last week five OF the head men of the
tribe were on visit to Washington for the
first time, never even having seen railroad
train until they left for this city. They
arrived in good shape, and the Army Sur
geon determined to reciprocate the hospi-
taIities he had received from them when in
their country. Thursday night the doctor,
with few friends, had the Moquis at the
opera to see "Amorita" The party oceu-
pied two boxes. The Indians enjoyed the
performance very much in quiet way
until the appearance OF the two little
"coons' in the second act when they be-
came so much excited that they attracted
the attention of the whole audience.
After the second act they were taken to
the doctors house in the West End, where
they were given little feed of ice cream,
etc. Never having tasted frozen milk be-
fore, it was a queer sight to see them make
way with it. Some could not get enough,
and shoveed it in by the spoonful, while
one old chief quietly ate his with a knife.
spreading it on cake like butter, and any
thing he did not care to eat would be pitched
under the table, regardless of polished floor
and Turkish rugs. After they had fed each
one made a speech.

Protest Against the Outrages hecentH
Inflicted by the Turkish Troops.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, August 2.-The Armenian
colony in the city of New York and adjacent
cities held large meeting tonight
and discussed the Turkish outrages
against the Armenians. DR.. M. S. Ga
briel, President of the colony, was
the principal speaker. He said that
the recent massacre of 400 Armenians
bv the Turks was a blow against
Armenians the world over. The massacre
and the consequent resignation of
the two Armenian ministers and
the Armenian patriarch, the speaker
said, had severed the ties between the Turk
ish Empire and the Armenians. War was
declared by the Turkish Government against
the Armenian nation and would 60 on until
the Armenians became Russians or an inde-
pendent State.
The Armenian colony in, the United
States is growing in number and power, and
the Armenians were right to expect from
the Armenian colony an effective movement
in favor of the Armenian cause.
DR.. Gabriel suggested that petition be
sent by the colony to the President of the
United States, calling his attention to the
Turkish outrages against the Armenians,
and asking him to direct the American
Minister at Constantinople to do all he
could for the Armenian cause. The meet
ing decided to send such petition to Presi-
dent Harrison.

A Sly Scheme TO Hoodwink the World on

Sly Scheme to Hoodwink the World on
the Siberian Outrages.
BERLIN, August 2.-The Russian papers
announce that transportation to Siberia will
be abolished as judicial punishment. They
omit to mention the fact that it will be
maintained as now without judicial SEN
tence.
The latest notable instance Of this kind
is the case of the celebrated novelist, Glyeb
Uspiensky. He was arrested at night, being
taken from his bed, and was confined for a
month in a secluded prison. Amy knowledge
of his whereabouts was refused his friends
for long time. Finally they were told he
had been sent to Sartov, pending the pleas
ure of the police. 1t is supposed that his
offense was writing letter to the Czar in
support of the memorandum sent his Majesty
by Madame Tzebrikova.
Uspiensky holds high literary position
in Russia, where he is as prominent as is
Daudet in France, or Howells in America.
This, however, availed him nothing, for he
was treated as q common criminal.
