flats ON is; 'st.th side Of the street as
ihey fell ard shook the buildings to
their very foundations. The fall made
a sound ike thunder, startling people
for blocks away. Many of the enor-
nous poles were broken in three pieces.
The fat house was so badly blocked by
the wreck that until nearly midday
egress or ingress was impossible.
The entire line of poles on the west
side of Park avenue, from Fifty-ninth
street to Seventy-ninth street, went
down, incumbering both street and
sidewalk. The poles on One Hundred
and Twenty-ffth street, between First
and Third avenues, are down. The
debris blocked the One Hundred and
Twenty-ffth street cable road for sew
eral hours.
At an early hour telegraph wire
broke in front of lis Chambers street
and fell across an electric light wire and
received its current. The wire fell on
the horses of an Eighth avenue car and
killed one of them instantly. Two or
three fires were caused by the broken
electric light wires, but were ex-
tinguished with trifing damage.

sENAToR-ELEcT HANseRoueH.
Said to Have Been Pledged in Writing to
Do Certain Things-ExtraOrdinary Re-

Do Certain Things-E Extraordinary Re-
ports,
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 2I.-It is
claimed that Senator-elect Hansbrough
was compelled to make written pledges
of the most extraordinary character to
secure his election.
BY the first of these alleged agree
ments Alexander Mckenzie is to be con-
suited with reference to the distribution
of the patronage throughout the State
and no appointments unsatisfactory 70
him are to be made. Colonel Ball and
one or two other trusted leaders In
Fargo are have control of the patron
age in that district with McKenzie's
consent. This power, it is said, is to be
used for the upbuilding of the element
which started the war on Pierce, and is
now supposed to be dominant in the
State. Such men as Ex-Governor Miller,
George S. Winship and George w. Good
win, who were the leaders in beating
the lottery scheme last winter, are to
be crushed out and refused recognition
of any kind if the stories in circulation
are to be believed. Mckenzie is once
more in the saddle through the aid of
the Farmers and Prohibitionists, who
stood with him in breaking down the
caucus system in the Republican party.
The other feature of the story is that
Hansbrough was required to submit
his views in writing to the Democratic
caucus before that body would pledge
its support. He submitted four separ-
ate letters. Three were returned unac-
ceptable, while the fourth was accepted
as satisfactory. The views asked for
were with reference to the tariff, the cleo
tions bill and prohibition. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Hansbrough so modified all
previously expressed opinions and
altered his attitude on the tariff and
elections bill that his candidacy became
acceptable to the Democracy.
Another feature of the alleged COM
pact with Mckenzie is that Hansbrough
will aid in the election of w. F. Ball to
Casey's seat in the United States Senate.

Marshall, Alliance, against Rood, Re-
publican. The report on the case was
signed only by the Alliance members
of the committee. 1t recommended
that the contestant be given his seat.
Mr.. Reed explained that the minority
of the committee had not been able to
attend the session and had not had the
time to prepare a report He said the
majority of the committee had been
pushed ahead by the Alliance leaders 10
make its report so as to be able to mus
ter the more men against Mr.. Ingalls,.
1t had not been able in the short time it
had considered his case to give either a
complete or an honest report. He asked
that action on the report be deferred to
give him time to prepare the minority's
report.
A dozen Alliance men were at once
on their feet. Mr.. Washington was
recognized. He said the Republicans
had come into the House with the
avowed purpose of obstructing the pro-
ceedings with dilatory motions and fill
clustering speeches, so as to keep their
two men, who had been elected by
fraud, in their seats until after the vote
had been taken on Senator. He was
glad to see that the Speaker did not
propose to allow any such practice in
the House, and he moved the adoption
of the report.
The debate proceeded for about an
hour, when the previous question was
ordered vive voce, and the report was
adopted on call of the House-yeas,
96; nays, %.
Mr.. Warren introduced resolution
inviting Senator Ingalls, to appear be-
fore the House and deliver an address
on the issues of the day. The yeas and
nays were called for, but the Speaker
did not hear them. He put the motion
and declared it lost.
Mr.. Warren introduced resolution
extending the greeting of the House to
the loyal members of the Illino is
Legislature, " and calling upon them to
stand fast in their support of Mr..
Oglesby for the United States senator's
ship.
The Speaker declined to order the
yeas and nays and declared the motion
lost.
A resolution was adopted providing
that ballot on Senator be taken in the
House at noon tomorrow.
The House at o'clock adjourned.

with passenger train bound north on
the Union Pacific railway at point
near Irving, sixteen miles south of here,
with great loss of life.

CHTLTS CRISIS.
Admiral Tore Talks Inteligently
Of the Revolution.
THE TROUBLE WITH The PRESIDENT.
No Hope For Him If the Army Joins the
Navy in Revolt, Which an Argentine
Dispatch Says the Army Has
Done.

PARIS, Jan. 26.-Admiral La Tore, Of
the Chilian navy, noted as the capturer
of the ironclad Huascar in the war be-
tween Chill and Peru, has been sent by
President Balmaceda, of Chilli, to Eu-
rope to supervise the building of war
ships for the country. In an interview
he denied that the Gillian navy had
been unfairly treated as compared with
the army in the distribution of Peruvian
war honors. There was no animosity
he said between the army and the navy.
The two bodies hardly ever meet, and
there was small chance of feeling of
jealousy existing between officers OF
the two branches of the service.
The Admiral did not know why the
navy should lead the revolution in Chilli,
except that the chivalrous notions of
the officers might make them readiest
to respond to an appeal for revolution.
The naval officers, he said, must have
acted on generous impulse. Being far
from the immediate center of affairs,
they must have been carried away more
by sentiment than by any real knowl-
ege of the situation.
Admiral La Tore further said that if
the army joined the movement the end
of the revolution would only be mat
ter of a few days He thought con-
flict between the army and navy en-
tirely improbable. The navy, he said,
could not easily blockade the whole
coast owing to its great extent, while
the Admiral of the British feet would
eventually object to the blockade by
calling the attention of the commander
of the blockading fleet to the fact that
he must not interfere with the COM
merce of neutral powers.
The conflict between President Bal
maceda and the Chilian Congress, said
Admiral La Torre, might have arisen
from suspicion that the President was
trying to influence the public mind and
intrigue in favor of the man whom he
wished to succeed him in the Presi-
dency. President Balmaceda was also
accused Of having broken promise to
effect municipal reforms, In addition
to the cause of irritation was his action
in dissolving the special session of Con-
gress.
Admiral La Torre believes the revoiu-
ton will be speedily settled. He is of
the opinion that President Balmaceda,
as soon as he sees the current of feeling
really against him, will withdraw from
the Presidency.
CHILTs PRESIDENT OUT OF LUCK.
BUENos AYRES, Jan. 26.-Late intel
ligence from Chilli say the troops hither-
to faithful to President Balmaceda have
Joined the revolt.

Weight Of the Earth.

AS matter of fact, the earth has no
weight. Weight is the pull of gravity
toward a center and when speaking Of
the weight Of the earth we must con-
slider the pull Of gravity towards the
sun, and in that respect the earth Is
equally poised All parts Of the earth
pressing toward the earth's center
equalize each other, so that a tow line
would pull the earth thousands Of miles
out Of its orbit. Rather than penetrate
an atmosphere Of another body so thin
that no animal life could exist in It, our
earth would make great circuit to get
around 1t. The almost impercePtiblS
attraction of one of the other planets
pulls our earth thousands Of miles out
of its regular path.--St- Joseph Herald

narrow Escape of Two Hundred Men in a
Wyoming Coal Pit.
EVANSTON, Wyo., Jan. 25.-The fan
house of No. coal mine, three miles
from here, burned at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. 1t was a dry wooden
structure and was consumed rapidly.
This destroyed the means of supplying
fresh air to the 200 men men working
beneath the surface The camp was in
a panic at once. The mine lamps were
extinguished and the men scrambled
for the opening. Nearly all were we'll
nigh exhausted on coming to light With
air shut off from above, the limited sup
ply in the shafts and rooms was soon
used up and all began to smother. Doz-
