NEW ORLEANS, April 4.-The two largest
fires ever known in New Orleans broke
out almost simultaneously yesterday
morning, destroying eleven squares of
buildings, 1000 bales of cotton and over
So, GOO, 900 in property. Both fires were the
result of carelessness and the great de-
struction was due to long drought, the
dry condition of houses, cotton, etc. The
strong breeze that was blowing and the
insufficient size of the fire department.,
which was reorganized in January from
the volunteer to the pay system, reducing
the force to about one-tonth its former
size, contributed to the spread of the con-
fagration.

Synopsis of the Proceedings of the Past
Six DAYS.


Six Days.
WASHINGTON, April Morgan caused
a sensation in the senate yesterday by the
introduction of series of silver resolu-
tions for reference to the finance commit
tee in order, he said, to find out how sena-
torial aspirants for the presidency stand
The senate adopted the house provision in
the Indian bill authorizing the president
in future to appoint army officers as In
dian agents, but with a proviso giving
him discretion to continue to appoint
civilians where he deemed it desirable.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The whole day
yesterday was occupied in the senate by q
rehash in detail of the Indian appropria-
ton bill substantially adopted, the amend
ments suggested being chiefly in the ma
ture of increased appropriations for In
dians in particular states.
In the house the most interesting feature
was the defeat of the rules committee in
an effort to have the investigation of the
census bureau given to special commit
tee. Wilcox, chairman of the census COM
mittee, thought his committee should do
the work. and so did the house. The free
wool bill was discussed until recess and at
night session the time was consumed in
trying to get quorum and no business
was done.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The free wool
bill was further considered Saturday by
the house, the speakers in favor of it
being Mckinney, of New Hampshire;
Wilson, of Missouri; Coolidge, of Massa-
chusetts; Cummings, of New York;
Brickner, of Wisconsin, and Dearmond,
of Missouri. The only Republican speech
was made by Burrows, who closed the gen.
eral debate for his party. The house then
adjourned. Senate not in session.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The silver de-
bate called out by Morgan's resolutions in
the senate yesterday had quite breezy
snap to it, and though the resolutions go
upon the calendar they are liable to be
called up and the discussion renewed by
Wolcott on Wednesday. The debate
lasted all day, Morgan doing three hours
talking. An executive session was held.
The house passed the Chinese exclusion
act by a vote of 179 to AZ, and also bill
repeating the law requiring steamers on
the lakes, bays, or sounds of the United
States to be provided with line-carrying
proiectiles and the means of propelling
them General debate on the free wool
bill was closed by Springer, who made his
first appearance on the floor for six weeks.
He received quite an ovation. Owing to
his physical condition Bryan of Nebraska
read his remarks. The bill was then de-
bated under the fve-minute rule for two
hours, and the house adjourned.

A Flat Building Wrecked.
A two-story frame fiat building in Grand
Crossing, on Adams avenue, between Sew
enty-fourth and Seventy-fifth streets, blew
down during the early part of the storm.
Four persons were hurt-Clark Erickson,
contractor, internally hurt; Charles Ben
son, carpenter, slightly; Henry Wickwire,
plumbers helper, injured in back; John
Ladd, 16 years old, plumbers helper, col
lar bone and arm broken.
Back Broken and VIII Die.
At the corner of Sixty-fourth street and
Champlain avenue, in Woodlawn, an un-
finished frame building went down before
the storm. Three men were injured, one
Peter Blumm having his back broken and
will die. A two-story frame at 81 Perry
street was blown to pieces, as was another
at IS Nebraska avenue. Several other
men were severely hurt in different parts
of the city by flying debris.

PEOPLE INSANE WITH FRIGHT.

A Terrible Scene After the Crash-The
Rescuers-Other Disasters.
The sound of the awful crash had not
died away before the narrow street was
filled with screaming men, women, and
children. The people living in the four
houses wrecked, but not crushed as was
the one at H. were almost without ex-
ception insane with fright. One woman,
tearing her hair and screaming at the top
of her voice, went running through the
mud and rain, and was not stopped until
she reached Halsted street. In an incredi-
bly, short space of time there were 1000 or
more people crowding, shouting and cry
ing, into the little street.
Arrival of the Rescurers.
Then the police, thirty strong, under
Inspector Ross, and the firemen, under
the personal command OF Fire Marshal
Swenie, came thunder ing up in patrol
wagons and fire department vehicles. The
first care of the firemen and police was to
inspect the wrecked cottages still main"
tanning an upright position. From these
were carried several fear-stricken men and
women. Then began the digging in the
ruins for the dead and injured. Within
half an hour Horace Wygant and Mrs.
Wygant were taken from the ruins bleed
ing and crushed
Dead Children Taken Out.
Then the two Mott children, lying side

leg was pinioned by heavy timber and

And so the work went on until the list
of dead and injured reached the totals given
above. The collapsed building fronted

west of Desplaines street. It had front

CHICAGO, April 6.-The city election yes

isfaction of the politicians, as well as to
the election commissioners. For one thing
it demonstrated that it affords ample ia
cilities to the voters to retire to obscurity
Objectionable candidates, no matter how
numerously they might be nominated by
conventions. The result was the election
of fifteen straight Republicans to the coun-
Gil; six straight Democrats; four Repub-
lican and Trade and Labor; five Demo-
cratic and Trade and Labor; two indie
pendents; one Independent Democrat, and
one called neutrality-suspicious..
Ed Cullerton Beaten.
The feature of the day was the defeat of
Edward f. Cullerton, who had his name
printed on three places on the ticket and
and was the candidate of the Democrats,
The Republicans and the Labor party. He
made a desperate fight, but the voters
knocked him out. His opponent is an
obscure citizen, whose name was not very
prominently mentioned during the cam
paign. The contest was not really be-
tween Cullerton and Rohde, but between
the Cullerton and anti-Cullerton element
of the ward, and the latter triumphed.
Another Noted Alderman Left.

other of the well-known aldermen who carne
