NEARLY A HOLOCAUST.
Early Morning Fire in . Crowded Lot
ing HOuse.

Early Morning Fire In CrOW0e0 Loog-
ing House.
About $50 o'clock yesterday morning IRE
broke ont in the Juanita lodging-house, two
story frame building on the corner Of Third and
Pike, and before the IRE department which re-
sponded quickly, could place the flames under
control, the house and furniture was damaged
to the extent Of about 81 SEQ.
Mrs. Ida Chaplin rents the whole Of the upper
floor from Mr.. Michael Phillips, the owner. and
converted the same into lodging house. About
the hour mentioned the landlady discovered
the hallway full Of smoke. and fierce flames
were darting up q narrow stairway from the
ground door, and were eating their way rapidly
to the garnet and roof. An alarm was given.
but many of the iodgers were slow in respond
ing. as they were taking their usual late Sum
day morning sleep, and for some there was q
narrow escape.
The North .sttle engine was promptly on
the ound, as was also the chemical from head
quarters, and one or two other engines came
I airing around the corner to the scene OF the
fire. The fire was under control inside of i've
minutes after the department arrived. and the
firemen worked heroically. Tney would plunge
up the abrupt stairway into the dense, hot
to stagger out again in few seconds and fail
down when they reached fresh air, bleeding at
the nose. vomiting and coughing.
Captain Stanton acqitted himself. and re-
ceived round Of applause, wnsn he rescued
Mrs. DR.. Martin, who, with her husband oc-
cupy rooms in the building, by placing ladder
to the window, and carrying herself and child
10 the ground. Mr.. Seaman. who, with his wife,
lived in room 10. awoke to find al avenues of
escape except through the window shut of.
Grasping his wife around the waist, he jumped
twenty feet the sidewalk, and alighting on his
feet both escaped serious injury.
The fire caught in q back room on the ground
floor, which was used by Japanese restaurant
for q storehouse. Juit how it caught no one
seems to know, but when discovered fifteen
gallons of coal oil in the little room were feed
ing the fames which burned with terrible
rapidity the dry pitch Of the old building.
IF the fire had taken place at night" said
Chief Kellogg, lit is certain that some one
would have been burned. 1t was one of the
hottest fires ! ever fou ght, and ii we had ar
rived a few minutes later the smoke would have
been cleared away and the building would have
gone up"
Mrs. Chaplin, the laniIady, was Frustrated
with fear and was removed to room "A, Abbott
house, where she lay In low fever all day.
She had $500 insurance on the furniture in the
place and it 10 thought that her loss will not
much exceed that amount The Minneapolis
boot and shoe store. a Japanese restaurant
cigar store and q billiard hall under the lodg-
Ing house also lost goods by breakage in NOV
ing and by water.

Mr.. FLICK CALLS MR.. COOPER A
DIRTY DOG.

Afr. Lewis Opens the Oratorical

Chairman Morrill-Mr. Sawyer De-
MES That He Denounced "Of1cious
Outsiders" Who Were Stirring Up
Strife
WASHINGTON, Sept 11.-Right at the
beginning Of its session this morning the
special House committee investigating the
charges against Commissioner Raum had
the usual daily tilt Mr.. Lewis, demo-
cratic member, rising to question of per-
sonal privilege, said he had been credibly
informed that while he was engaged in
conversation with Mr.. Smyser, who was on
the stand the other day, the chairman had
said that his lewis, conduct was not gen.
tlemanly, and be wanted a retraction.
Chairman Morrill, said that he had no
recollection Of having made such a remark.
and Mr.. Sawyer also denied that he had
nounce officious outsiders who were seeking
to inter meddle and make bad feeling in the
committee.
FLICK AND COOPER HAVE TILT.
Later in the proceedings. while Mr..
Cooper was upon the witness stand, Rep
resentaJive Flick, who took Mr.. Smyser's
place, sharply oueried, "You knowlyou are
on oath, don't youg"
Mr.. Cooper resented the implication con-
veyed by this question, and Mr.. Flick con-
tinued: "You have sworn moment ago
that you could take those books and sustain
these charges
Mr.. Cooper-I said | believed it. That
suggestion of yours was ungentlemanly
cowardly and mean.
COOPER CALLED A DIRTY DOG.
Mr. Flick-And l say that you are dirty
dog.
Mr.. Lewis became involved in the quarrel
also by endeavoring to help Mr.. Cooper and
Chairman Morrill, was for q time unable 10
restore order. By recess time, however,
mutual explanations and apologies were
made and the offensive personalities were
withdrawn.
As to the main purpose of the investiga-
tion. no more witnesses for the prosecution
were present and Mr.. Cooper was summoned
to the witness chair by Commissioner
Raum, who endeaV ored to extract from
Mr.. Cooper the names Of all parties who
had given him information that led to the
introduction of the Investigation resolution,
but emily two were named, one of whom,
George B. sFlemng, commissioner Raum
said, was a discharged pension office
empioye and the author of all
the defamatory newspaper articles
that had been published. Tomorrow
at the pension office, testimony is to be
taken of l3S clerks who have been pro-
noted by Commissioner Raum, TO show
that they had not purchased stock in Com
missioner Raum's refrigerator Company.

LAND GRANT FORFEITURE.
The Conference Report on the Bill Be
fore the Senate.

The Conference Report on the Bill Be-
fore the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Sept 11.--In the Senate
this morning, on motion of Mr.. Plumb, the
conference report on the railroad land
grant forfeiture bill was taken up.
The main proposition in the report is con-
tanned in the first section, as follows: '@That
there are hereby forfeited to the United
States and the United States hereby re-
sumo title thereto, all lands heretofore
granted to any state or to any corporation
to aid in the construction of a railroad
opposite TO and coterminous with a por-
tion of any such railroad not
now completed and in operation,
for the construction or benefit
of which such lands were granted. and all
such lands are declared to be part OF the
public domain; provided, that this act shall
not be construed as forfeiting the right of
way or station grounds of any railroad
company heretofore granted"
MORGAN OPPOSES IT.
Mr.. Morgan opposed the report as a log
rolling scheme gotten up for the benefit of
all the land grant roads. He said that while
the first section professed to be forfeiture all
other sections related to separate railroads
and exempted them from the operation of
the Forfeiture section, or else gave to them
CeTU0ln peCunlary advantages. III cOulQ
scarcely be said that there was any land
forfelteited by the bill to the government in
consequence Of the failure of railroads to
comply with the terms of the original
grants. The most that could be said OF it
was that few small railroads that
had not got friends enough in the
two houses TO stand up for them
and hold up their hands were to be crucified
for the sake Of CLOSING over and vanishing
the false pretense of general forfeiture.
After speaking for over four hours, Mr..
Morgan said that he knew that the ques-
tions which he had been discussing were
going 20 their grave in the passage of the
bill, but that he had desired to give them
decent burial.
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC GRAB.
He had wished to erect headstone' over
the grave of the rights of the people on the
line Of the Northern Pacific, so that the
historic record might be read hereafter. He
had wanted to remind the people Of the
United States of the vast robbery perpe-
trated by that company and which was now
sanctioned, wound up and brought
to conclusion by the bill
He knew what the vote would
be. He knew when the republicans came
in on one side of the report, with the demo-
Gratis refusing TO sign 1t, what the result
would be. Whenever the bill was passed,
forfeiture of the Northern Pacific railroad
lands would be dead and buried, and moth
ing more would be heard about it.
Without finishing his speech, MIR. Morgan
yielded for a motion to adjourn at $3.50
o'clock.
