Rio DE JANEIRO, Feb. 5.-A mob
made demonstration yesterday before
the residence of Gen. de Fonseca, presf
dent of the provisional government, in
favor of a dictatorship. They urged
Fonseca to accept the position of die.
taJor for period of five years. Fon.
SEGA aid not put in an appearance, but
caused the mob to be dispersed by the

Politicians Discuss the Approach.

l.
ing Opening of Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. s.-The approach Of
the opening of parliament next Monday
has revived political questions of all
phases and degrees of importance and
started the political discussion which
for some time has remained
stagnant, or at best moved
sluggishly. While no one can be GER
tain as to what the session will bring,
there is a general feeling that 1t will be
prolific OF surprises. Some persons are
predicting dissolution at the end of
the session, but that is altogether I'M
the Conservative ranks over the
Parnell commission support, bpt this
is regarded as even more improbable
than dissolution. All agree, however,
that the session will be one Of great
Importance and this belief Is strong
with the party leaders, who have in.
structed their respective whips to urge
full and constant attendance of mem.
bers into read ness to grapple with any
question that may arise. 1t is not
thought possible to push an eight-hour
bill through at this time, and
Messrs. Bradlaugh, Labouehere, Nor
ley, Lawson, Burt and others favoring
the measure are strongly opposed to any
attempt to pass it for the present, be-
lieving that the matter has not been
sufficiently agitated to justify its intro
ducti0n with the expectation of gaining
adherentS to the principles from among
those who would naturally turn their
backs upon it in the absence of full
understanding of the situation

Superheated steam the Primary

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. S.-Yester-
day Commissioner Douglass received
letter from Gen. Roseerans introducing
Norman Wizard. the government steam
expert, and inviting the commissioners
to allow him to make an examination Of.
Secretary Tracy's house with view of
determining whether the steam heating
arrangements had anything to do with
the fire. Accordingly Fire Marshal
Drew and Mr.. Wizard made an eXamina-
tion to-day and found that the felt pack

Ing through the register no doubt set
fire to something near it and caused
general cOnt1agratiOn. Mr.. Drew thinks
that this is the best solution of the
problem of the fire, and there is little
doubt that the Superheated steam caused
the fire.
MIR. TRACY LEARNS THE DETAILS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN response
to a request from Secretary Tracy,
Chief Paris, Policeman Chattell and
Fireman Wright went to the White
House to-day and had talk with him
about the circumstances connected
with the burning of his home and the
death of his wife and daughter
last Monday. The secretary feelingly
thanked them for their Invaluable as
siStance TO him and their courage and
heroism in entering the burning build
ing at the risk of their lives. He then
inquired with great particularly into
the details of the fire, and when that
part of the narrative relating to the dis
cOvery of Miss Tracy's body was
reached the secretary became very much
affected. Secretary Tracy is rapidly
gaining in health, and will probably go
Oh trip down the Potomac on the Dis
patch, some day next week, to be absent
several days. He expects to be at his
desk in the navy department Monday
morning.

BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. S.-The lot
terry bill was not reached for the second
reading to-day. The only consideration
of the bill was on the amendment pro-
posed by Lilly to strike out the require
ments which virtually confne the bill
to the Louisiana lottery and to
leave 1t so any company
may do business In the state.
This amendment was voted down by
vote of 81 to "a. Cole then moved that
the bill be returned to the senate on the
ground that it is unconstitutional, as it
contains more than one subject, being
revenue bill and also bill
for the establishment of lotteries.
This motion was declared out of order.
as 1t would require suspension of the
rules to get the bill before the house.
Immediately following came resolu-
ton introduced by MIR. Roney, calling
for the appointment of commit

that members are being induced to
vote for the bill through bribery. On
motion Of Thompson, of Cass. the COM
mIttee was also instructed to report the

The committee was instructed to be-

of petitions and remOnStrances poured
In from all parts of the state to-day, and
were read 10y the clerk. Thus far it is
estimated that larger number of
names have been signed TO petit

the bill than to remonstrances against
1T. one petition alone from Fargo favor
ing the bill being signed by President
Vonnelda. of the board of trade. and
LOCO of the representative citizens of
the city and county. Protests have
come from the same place deHOuncing
the bill and the Louisiana lottery, but
they do not bear so large a number OF
names. Charles M. Pollock, the framer
of the prohibition bill, has arrived here
to work against the lottery bill. He Is
seconded by several ministers and
number of citizens. Among the pre-
tests against the lottery bill was one
from Mayor. Newman, of Fargo. who
placed it on a level with gambling
and houses of prostitution. At
this Stevens sprang to the floor
and said: 81 see that this protest
is signed by the mayor of Fargo and
that he speaks of houses of prostitution.
l move you that committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the question and
report to this house whether or not is
fact that May or Newman has not been
virtually licensing houses of prostitu-
ton in Fargo" This motion prevailed,
and Messrs. Stevens. Moore and

REDWOOD FALLS, Minn., Feb. s.
Judge Webber will hold special term
OF court on the 18th of this mouth, at
which time Clifton Holden. who was
convicted Of the murder of Frank
Dodge. will be sentenced. The supreme
court recently refused to grant
Holden new trial, and as he was
found guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree he will undoubtedly be sentenced
to death. On Feb. 20 Judge Brown will
argue for new trial for William Rose,
who has been sentenced to be hung for
the murder of Moses Lufkin. Holden is
very unruly and depressed. while Rose
is more hopeful, and declares that his
friends will avenge his execution.

DAUPHIN EFT AL. ARE SILENT.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. S.--The officials
of the Louisiana Lottery company con-
tinue to be silent as to the lottery bill
now before the Dakota legislature. A
local afternoon paper, which is by many
believed to have been inspired, yester-
day gave the following answer to
readers query: "Does the state lot
terry contemplate renewing to North Da-
kOta and establishing a branch there?''
The only response which. after due
inquiry, can be made is that the Louis-
lana Lottery company's present char
ter does not expire until 1895; that it
may seek renewal thereof at its pres
ent dOmicile: that the managers of the
conditions under which North Dakota
makes its tender, not having seen the
bill which has passed the senate; that
they will not decide in any way upon
the inducements held ont by North
Dakota until the conditions have been
maturely considered.

"The gas works has exploded"
Just as ii bells had ceased tolling
tn hour of i last evening the earth un-
der the greater part of the city of ST.
Paul trembled as by seismic shock,
a1d presently came rumbling roar
that told of an explosion. The sky was
dark at the time, and was Immediately
lighted In the direction of DaytOn's
bluff by vivid tongue of frs shooting
heavenward. which instantly died
down to give place to steady iurid
glow. A moment later fire alarm was
sounded, and ten minutes had not trans
pired before the announcement was
made that the gas works had blown up.
The verification of the story proved that
the accident was a serious one, costing
the life of one man, the severe
injury of five others and damage TO the
works to the extent of $4,000. The glow
on the sky directed thousands to the
spot, aud disclosed to their view the
western end of the gas plant in sadly
demOralized plight. The roof had been
blown to flinders. The end and side
walls we're leveled to the street, but for
the piles of debris. and through the
steam and smoke could be seen the in
terror of the condensing room, all brill
iantly lighted by the flames playing
about the eastern end of the building.
While the fire department directed its
energies TO the subduing of the flames,

Gus volunteers, searched the ruins and
removed the debris to
