that we ought to go into the business and

COURTS-MARTIAL.
Code Of PunishmenlS Prepared by the
War Department.

New YORK, Feb. 16 - The Tribune's
Washington special says: A code of pun
ishments for enlisted men convicted by
couTts-martial has at last been prepared at
the War Department and will soon appear
as general order 1t mentions nearly every
offense possible under the several articles of
war. aud prescrbes the maximum punish
ment for enlisted men and non. commits
stoned officers. The nature of the punish
ment is in general less severe than the rec
ords show as being usual. Hereafter the
fact of previous conviction will be taken
into consideration. The order prescribes the
maximum limit, and eXtenuating circum-
stances are supposed to grade down the pun
ishments accordingly. Equivalent pun
ishments are announced thus: De-
tention of pay may be substi-
tuted for four times the amount of
forfeiture of pay. two days confinement at
hard labor. for 81 of forfeited pay, one
water, or two DAYS confinement at hard la
Dor for 81 of forfeited pay, provided that no
man shall be placed in solitary confinement
for more than fourteen days at time or
more than eighty-four days in one year, nor
shall such confinement be repeated within
fourteen days. A similar code will be pre-
pared for the navy.
Nothing has been received at the War De-
partment from General Miles regarding Col
onel McKeever, against whom the former
has declared his intention of filing charges.
III is believed in some quarters that Secre-
tary Proctor's approval of Colonel Forsyth's
acton will discourage General Miles from
making further charges. Colonel McKeever
says he will go TO Chicago, where he is Or
dered as Miles Adiutant-Genera, and the
Secretary is quoted as encouraging no re-

OF the cruelty of the Turkish grandee.
Defterdar Bey, who married the daughter of

related in Egypt. He had, it is said, tame
lion, usually lying at the foot of his divau,

Sometimes he allowed it to worry his slaves,

piqued himself on the simplicity and prmi-

dom from European habits and notions.
During the period OF his command in the
Upper Country soldier robbed poor woman
of n little milk. That woman, not foresee-
ing the result, laid her complaint before the
Bey, who demanded her to point out the cul-
prit. This being done, the soldier was or
dered to be laid upon the ground and his body
ripped open. The milk being found in his
stomach, the Bey paid the complainant and

The robber had been punished; but had
he been discovered to be innocent, the same
punishment would have awaited vou.''

PENDING BILLS.
Important MeaSugG3 to Be Pushed in Con-
greSS the Present Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The energy dis
played by Congress during the past week in
acting ION the general appropriation bills
has had the result Of placing these meas
ures in state Of forwardness that compares
favorably with the record of the preceding
Congress in the short session. The Copy
right Bill is unfinished business before the
Senate. Hale has stated his intention to
call up tie Diplomatic Appropriation Bill
tomorrow, but, as ,he friends of the Copy
right Bill are confident that their measure is
in such shape that it cannot consume
much more time, 1t will probably be brought
to fiual vote before the diplomatic bill is
taken ur.
The Republican caucus list of measures
selected Tor consideration in the intervals
between the discussion on appropriation
bills is us follows: Indian Depredations
Bill, Nicaragua Canal Bill, Pure Food and
Conger Lard bills, Army Reorganization
BIZ, lnters tate Commerce Bill, Land Court
Biz, Bankruptcy Bill, Revenue Marine Bill
and Pacific Railroad Funding Bill How far
in this programme the Senate may proceed
will depend on the amount of time occupied
by the appropriation bills.
In the House 1t Is confidently expected
that by the end of the week the General De
fciency Bill will bc the only one of the
regular annual bills unacted on. 1t is the
intention 70 finish the consideration of the
Indian Bill tomorrow, and it will be ar
ranged that the Postottice and Agricultural
Appropriation bills shall follow in the order
named. The Shipping Bill. which for about
two weeks has remained pending as un-
mashed business, Will then be again brought
up. The silver question still remains the
most absorbing topic Of discussion among
the members OF the House and there Is
constant fear on tlepart of the conservative
members that it may at some unexpected
time be sprung on the House in an unlocked
for shape. The silver men are confident
that the bill will be reported to the House
before the end Of the week, and the Republic
can caucus, which has been called for to-
morrow, may have some influence on the
course to be pursued in regard to this meas
ure by the mai0rity.

A Corner in a Safe Deposit Vault Richer
Than Most Gold Mines.
Besides these hOardings, these vaults con-
tain the accumulated wealth of personal
nature OF all the millionaireS OF New York
City. They no longer leave their stocks and
bonds in their office or house slfes, but take
them TO the vaults. In many of the vaults
are kept the family jewels and the expensive
plate of gold and silver-this last being
taken to the homes whenever an entertain
ment is to be given and returned at once to
its place of safety in the vaults. Hundreds
of millions of dollars are kept in these places
of security, and some most interesting tales
might be told OF the customs of men OF
wealth in visiting the vaults and counting
their wealth. Probably the most interesting
place is the vaults OF the deposit company
which contain the enormous wealth of the
VanderbiltS, in stocks and bonds, and much

Astors. eX-Mayor Grace and many other

William III. Vanderbilt was not so secre-

srecial to THE MORNING CALL

SEATTLE, Feb. ia New Westminster
special to the Post -Inteligencer of this city
says This city was to-day visited by
disastrous confaeration, which destroyed in
the neighborhood of $500, ,OU0 worth of prop
erty and caused the death of John
McCannon. a member of the Volunteer
Fire Brigade. At 8 o'clock this morning
George Pittendrigh, manager at the Bell
Telephone Company's Office, was awakened
by smell of smoke, which on examination
was found to come from the rear of the
premises occupied by f. Slirsky,
matchmaker and jeweler, on Co
lumbia street. Pittendrigh at once
gave the alarm by telephone, and in
two minntes the fire brigade turned out, but
it was over twenty minutes before a stream
of water could be brought to play. By this
time the whole block of buildings was ablaze,
along with the stables in the rear of the
telephone company's building, and
private residences. For two hours
the firemen fought the flames, and
were just getting them under con-
troll when an explosion in the rear of one OF
the stores occurred. 1t broke almost every
pane of glass within radius of half mile
and burst all the hose pumping on the fire.
The Masonic Temple, next adjacent,
had, up TO this moment been con-
sidered absolutely safe, but the
breakage of the windows caused draught
which sucked the flames inwards and in
moment the whole interior of the building
was afre. 1t was four-story brick build
ing, with a stoHe front, that had been
erected at cost of $4,000.
The building contained the lodge rooms
OF the MasOns, Odd Fellows, knights of
Pythias, offices of the Southern Railway
Company. Bourchier, Croft e. Maulette,
real estate; Morrison, Barris, Turbul & CO.,
contractors, and the Provincial Registry
Offices, besides the stores of d. Lyall & Co,
stationery; Ogle. Campbell & Green. dry
goods, and A. N: Herring, drugs, Nothing
was saved out Of this building but papers
from the Registry Office.
While fighting the flames at one of the
windows in the western wall, the whole
side Of the building fell in. and fireman
named Mckannon was buried under two
broash Gl tFck o St Ne SaE was 16sa out b and
he died to night. Another man is
reported to be buried beneath the ruins.
Floods Of water were poured on the Masonic
block continually, this work being assigned
to special party, but ten times the
amount Of water would have had
but little effect on the fire. Her
rings drugstore caught about this
time and blazed with a dazzling light.
Everything that bravery and the strength
of men could do was done by the fire.
OF water turned to steam almost be-
fore they reached the skirts OF the
frlghtful sea of flames, the whole sky was
afiame with lurid reflection. 1t was stated
that the light was seen at Blaine and

Position on the Silver Question

OF silver. The Governor declares that
Cleveland has greatly strengthened the
Democratic party in the North and East.
Russell says the silver question is geograph-
lcal rather than political, and the apparent
support of Democrats to tho proposition for
Tree coinage arose from their desire to kill
the Force Bill. The Governor adds: II

party against free coinaper
