A Destructive Contiagration in the Ohio
Metropolis Last Night.
CINCINNATI, Feb. l0.--A fire which caused
loss aggregating $275,000 occurred here
this evening. It broke out in the building
occupied by Ezekiel & Bernham, auc-
tioneers, and by the ware and sales rooms
of the American Oak Leather company.
The building, which was five stories high,
was on the east side of Main street near
Hammond. On :he auction firms side of the
building were large amounts of goods from
all over the country. including valuahle
paintings, and rough estimate OF the loss
on these is $l20.000 It is thought the
leather company's loss will be $1,000. The
building was worth $G0,000. Before the
fire was under control the Commercial bank
building, next to the burned structure
caught fire. Later falling walls crushed it
to the ground, totally destroying it and
causing loss of $4,000. At 10 O'Clock the
fre was under control.

WASHINGTON, Feb l0.-Secretnry Blaine
had a conference with the president this
morning regarding the trade relations with
Canada. AS he was leaving the White
house representative of the Associated
press showed him the published statement
that he was about to retire from the cab
met. He read it slowly and then said with
deliberation: ut is entirely false. There
il not a word of truth in it. These stories
are being circulated by idle persons who
have nothing better to do and / ask you to
deny them in the most positive terms, as
the statement ia an internal lie." Ques-
toned as to the other rumored changes in
the cabinet Blaine said: II do not know
ANYTHING about them. suppose these ru-
mors are started by the same mon who set
atloat the one about me. There seems to be
no foundation for them.

TARIFF REFORM.
The First Of the Bills to Be Devoted to
That Purpose.

The First of the Bills to BE Devoted to
That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-There has been q
substantial agreement by the wool special
committee of the democratic majority of
the ways and means committee on the pro-
visions Of the wool bill. The changes to be
made in the bill drafted by Springer are
not formally made up but very substantial
reductions are made in the duties on wooden
manufactures rs proposed by Springer's
bill. Inc advalorem duties on WOODEN
manufactures of all kinds. including cloths,
dress goods, carpets and all other wool
articles imported under the Mckinley law
and on which rates were left unchanged by
the Springer bill, have been cut down
wherever excess of 40 per cent and the
bill on wollen goods is about five per cent
below the uniform rate of 40 per cent fixed
by the Mills bill.
Under this agreement wool ia made free,
as proposed by the Springer bill; all duties
on woolen manufactures. where 40 per cent
changed; where more than 40 per cent they
are reduced to that rate, SO no WOODEN
duties will be higher than the Mills rate,
and those on the cheaper grades of goods
will be less. Under the Mckinley law the du-
ties range from 30 to 60 per cent, SO there is
ieuuGIioA VI ~ pes Celt luaOe from Lne
highest rate now imposed, and the average
rate is brought down to about 35 per cent.
On shoddies and waste the agreement
adopts the Springer rate of 30 per cent
against the present rate of thirty cents
per pound. All compensatory duties of
course, ere taken off, MS raw wool is made
free. SO the present per pound and per yard
duties will be abolished if the bill becomes
a law. and only ad yalorenl duties will be
retained.
Members of the committee say the wool
bill will be the principal measure reported
and tho examination of it's provisions will
show not only that no step backward has
been taken i'll tariff reform. but that n
step in advance of considerable Importance
has been taken and that on the wool
schedule. regarded by all tariff reformers us
the key to the protective system, reductions
are made greater than those proposed by
th . democrats two years ago.

In Favor OF Statehood.

WA sH1NeToN, Feb. 10.--rhe house COM
mittee on territories gave a hearing this
morning to delegation of citizens from
Utah in favor of the passage of the bill in
troduced i'll the house by Delegate Cain,
and similar bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Faulkner. providing for local
self-Rovernment for Utah and for the cleo
tion of territorial officers. Among the per-
sons present were ex-Gov. West, Mr.. Smith,
lawyer, of Ogden and Judge Judd. for
merly associate justice of the territory.
The force of their arguments was that the
present government Of the territory was In
adequate, corrupt and impractical. Charges
were made by the spokesmen that tho ot1i-
government more for their own personal
sggrandizement than for the good OF the
people.

Postmaster Geo. w. Marsh has received
reply to his letter OF complaint regarding
the recent change of the time card on the
Union Pacific. by which Mullan mail is de-
layed nineteen hours at Wallace. The re-
ply was from Assistant Superintendent
Vaille, of the railway mail service, stationed

Wallace ana Mullan, the mail route termi-
mating at Wallace, and the company being
bound merely to deliver the mail six times a

the wagon road, although neither the
Union Pacific or Northern Pacific roads

passing and narrowly escaped death. A
vast amount of debris was carried down BY
the avalanche. This is the first slide of
any consequence that has occurred the
present winter. Two years ago seven men
were killed at the Custer mine, when an
avalanche of extraordinary size and power
swept down Custer mountain. No such
calamity is probable this winter, although
few heavy rains would start thousands of
