 BOSTON, Feb. 7-The shoe district of
 Boston was visited by disastrous fire to-
 night. The total loss Is upwards of $30,- 900.
 The building, which was brick, six stories in height was occupied by boot and shoe manufacturers and machinery ware house. and contained large stocks of goods upon every floor. As the shoes were mostly in pastebosrd boxes the Iwater loss will bs very heavy. A. W. Clapp & Co.,, boot and shoe manufacturers, occupied the first floor and portion of the second and third of 275 Congress street. J. H. Russell & Go. occupied the balance of the second floor as boot and shoe warehouse.
 George F.

It is to give the individual losses with any degree of accuracy, but 1t is thought the total will aggregate between s30O,OO and $35O ,00O The damage to the building, which Is owned by John Diokie of Philadelphia, will be about ST. poo. How the fire started is mystery. The entire building is equipped with au- tomatio eprinklers, but evidently they tailed to accomplish their designed pur- pose, although the existence of the fire was first announced by automatic signals n the building.

 Presenting His Credentials-Legali-
 ty Of the Election Questioned.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Judge John Mar tin, aenator-elect from Ksnsar, was on the floor of the senate to day. His advent opens anew the gossip concerning the legality of his election, and the probability of his being permitted to take his seat. Senator P. fer to day said that owing to the lateress of the session and the fact that Mr Perkins understood the legisla- ton of interest to the people of Kansas and had it we'll in hand. he had suggested to MT. Martin that he refrain from pre- senting his credentials until toward the close of the session. Hr. Martin will prob. ably follow this advice. Mr. Peffer said he believed there had been legal election, but if the senate decided otherwise fl would simply result in an appointment oi

Lecture on Robert Browning.

Few men have made so exhaustive 8 study not only of the works of Robert Browning, but of Browning himself, as Dr. Kelley, who is to lecture upon this sub ject to morrow evening in the First N. E. church. Dr. Kelley himself posses true poetic thought and appreciation, thereby being peculiarly adapted to analyze and explain this great poet, who, though so widely read, Is not always so thoroughly understood. So much praise has been written of Dr. Kelley's lecture that it Is hard 10 discriminate in the matter of selection.
 The Round Lake correspondent of the New York Tribune wrote: "The lecture on Browning en nchsnted the community here" And the New Tor k Christisn Ad vocste said: cone hardly knew which to admire most, the great poet or the poetic critic and biogrsDher."
