POWDER EXPLOSION KILLS 300 PEOPLE.

PETERSBURG, Ind, Nov. IA terrible
couiagration occurred at Winslcw, Pike
county, this state, this morning. The
whole town has been wiped out of exis-
tence. The houses were all frame struc-
lures and the fire spread with such rapid
itv that all the efforts of the people to ex-
tinguish 1t proved unavailing. Not a
house is left standing and 400 pei ons
are homeless. There IS no fire depart
ment and no provision was made for the
sudden coming of such a calamity. How
the fire originated has not yet been ascer-
tanned but it is supposed it was caused
by a defective tlue. Several houses were
close together and though once the fire
had O much Roadway, it was impossible
to isolate it. There will be much suffer-
ing among the people.

REPUBLICAN MENDAClrY.
Crooked Work to Head OF Debate
on Election Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin the senate
the resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Plumb for daily meetings of the senate
at 10 a. m. and for recesses from $3.50 to
p. IN. was taken up. Mr.. Reagan
thought that senators might just as we'll
be frank with one another. They all
understood on both sides that the object
of the proposition was to choke off de-
bate on the elections bill. and prevent
Its full, free and deliberate consider
alton. If that were the purpose of the
majority it had the power to carry it
out. This resolution was the first step
in this direction, and would he in har-
moDy with the purpose of the bill in
reyolutionizing the government and in
taking away from the states the exercise
OF powers and the performance of du-
ties which had belonged to them since
he foundation of the government.
Mr.. Morgan also argued against the
resolution. For himself, he said, no
matter how mnch his physical powers
might be taxed by the long hours pro-
posed, he would TRY to keep along with
the pro ceSsion." but he should insist on
having the company of his friends on
the other side. They could not expect
to 60 to their committee rooms. or their
houses, and smoke their cigars in peace
and comfort, while Democratic senators
were at their post of duty-''on the
picket line" They would have to have
company, and if Republican senators
adopted the resolution, they would have
10 expect to carry it out, aud so he gave
notice now that, whenever he believed
that quorum was absent from the
senate chamber, he should make that
point, and have absent senators called
back from their places OF delightful ra-
tirement, so that they should be at the
pains of listening to the arguments
which it cost Democratic senators so
right, and he had merely risen for the
purpose of serving that notice.
Mr.. Blair alluded, sarcaStically, to
"the perpetual drone and whimper of
those dull Democratic orators that did
not get audiences" and suggested that
If they wanted to be heard they would
nave TO make speeches more interest
ing.
Mr.. Morgan-I did not complain OF want
OF audiences The galleries have been full
Mr.. Blair-I do not doubt but that there
have been arrangements made to fill the gal
lerles. But the senator complains that there
are not senators to listen to the speeches.
NOW suggest to him that instead of resort
ing to his physical powers Of endurance. he
and his friends should give US an exhibit of
their intellectual power.
Mr.. Morgan replied to Mr.. Blair, and
suggested that if there was weakness
on the Democratic side of the chamber.
it was because the senator from New
Hampshire had his seat on that side
and had "watered the stock" No Dem
ocratic senator, he believed, had found

WRAPPING PAPER.
A Meeting of the Western Man
ufacturers Decide to Shut
Down

ufacturers Decide to Shut
Down.
CHICAGO, Dec. ia meeting of the
Western Wrapping Paper Mill associa-
ton. which virtually controls the wrap
ping paper interests west of the Allie
gheny mountains, began here this MORN
ing. About thirty mills were reple-
sented in the meeting. The executive
committee. through the chairman, re-
ported to the association, and advised
that all sales should be made through
the agents of the mills, also that shut
down of the mills be ordered to take
effect Dec. "a and so remain until
Jan. Z, 1891. These questions were
referred to the committees for consider
alton and report By a compilation
made from reports made by the repre-
SentatlieS of the association there is to-
day on hand in the siXty-four mills 367
tons of straw and wrapping paper,
which, 1T is said, amounts to a little
more than one days run. This evening
the meeting decided that the entire pro-
duct of the mills in the association
should be sold by the agents of the or
ganlZation instead of by the statesmen
of individual mills. Arrangements were
made for keeping the committee of the
VI SdiilAdlIOl lHlOTlleu from week TO
week Of the operations of every mill,
enabling the standing committee to is
sue such orders as will conduce to gthe
good of the membership as a whole.
The shutdown recommended by the eX-
ecutive committee was also agreed to,
but restricted to two weeks. Before
adJourning, the association voted an ad-
vance of 5 cents per 100 pounds in the
price of roll paper. In discussing the
shutdown, Judge Kingman, of Cedar
Falls, To-, stated that Iowa had a very
strict law covering such a thing as a
trust. and he feared should Iowans COM
ply with the spirit of such action as was
proposed it would be construed as i'm
violation of the Iowa law, and the fear
OF penltentiary was staring unlawful
proceedings in the face. A speech by
Chairman Castle settled the matter,
however, in opposition to Judge King
man. Chairman Castle said the dealers
had recently declared the organization
could not hold together thirty days
longer. To teach the dealers lesson,
he added, shutdown would be most eff
fective, and one was thereupOn promptly

BUFFALO BILL SICK.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Lieut. e. W.
Chadwick, who was one of the govern
ment officers sent out with Buffalo Bill
to arrest Sitting Bull, is in the city on
his return trip.
"Cody's plan for the arrest of that
willy old Indian" said Chadwick, "was
one of the most daring things I ever
heard of. and it is probably fortunate
thing that the government courier over
took Cody with dispatches counter
handing lis orders. Think Of Cody ar
rayed in dress suit, silk stockings and
patent feathers, riding with nine fol-
lowers into the very heart of the Sioux
camp. His plan was to draw the atten-
ton of Sitting Bull and take him out of
the camp. If the bucks gave chase
Cody was going to protect his body be-
hind that of Sitting Bull and threaten
AAe ladtaF1 with the death of their
