MIR. BARKER,S PAPER.

Wharton Barker Speaks on the Inn
 portant Issues of the Day at the
 Republican League.
 The Republican league rendered an in- formal reception to MT. Warner Barker of Philadelphia last evening, at the club house. NIT. Barker is member of the Union league, Philadelphia, of which his father was one of the founders. He is a banker In that city and a noted scholar and orator, as well ss statesman. He read very interesting paper in which he dis coursed on the tariff, free silver, reciproc- ity, commercial union with Canada and the demoralizipg tendencies of trusts. He believes that both gold and silver should circulate, but that as long as other nations will not join in a cooperative movement he is in favor of stopping the coinage of silver until some anicsble arrangements are reached. He also favored free lumber from Canada if Canada would take Euf- fcient of our produce in exchange, and free wool, such as is not grown in this country.
 An informal discussion followed, which was participated in by Julius Twiss, John s. Fowler, General Greeley, E. B. Fogg, George Maltby and Colonel Fox. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

 NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Fire caused by @ | gas explosion in the cellar this afternoon destroyed the double fve-story tenement

 The grocery of John Waschmsn and the
 liquor store of Gallus Eyer were on the ground floor of the building. The gas in the cellar beneath the grocery had been leaking and the Eqitable Gas company had sent Inspector Peterson to see what the trouble was. He went into the cellar and had been there twenty minutes when Grocer Wasohman heard groans in the cellar, and lighting a candle started to investigate. James Man ming, an express driver, shouted that the cellar was full of gas. The grocer Laughlin, his clerk, took the candle from his hand and walked towards the cellar. | As he opened the door a sheet of flame shot out in his face. Then followed laundering report. Wsschmann and | Manning were thrown into the street and | Mclaughlin was hurled ten feet and lay | unconscious. The big tenement shook | with the force of the explosion.
 There were only women and children In | the building. Wild cries of terror at once | arose. Of the one hundred or more per fell how they escaped. The shock worked most of them into frenzy. They madly fought with one another for vantage ground, and many of the wounds received were caused in the rush to e;caps. The firemen who came on the first alarm found the building ablazs. Scaling ladders were placed against the side of the building and the extension ladders were raised to the roof. Down these the tenants swarmed. An Italian woman living on the fourth floor abandoned her two-yesr. old babe in its cradle. The little one was afterwards 
 Heroic attempts to rescue Inspector Peterson were made by the fremen, but they were driven back by the flames. Many of the victims of the explosion were to the hospital and others were ,ared for by physicians at neighboring houses and drug stores. For nearly an hour the fire burned furiously. The sur buildings were saved with great 1ificulty. The tenants saved nothing ex- ,ept the clothing they were in.
 The building is owned by Francis Kel- ogg, whose loss is $50. .000.
