FIRE AT A PRISON
Which Gave Rise to wild Rumors and
Created Big Excitement.

CTeHteu Dig ENcltonnsubs
LINCOLN, NEE, Oct. 20.-Beween five
and six o'clock this evening word was
sent to the city that the penitentiary
was on fire.
The building is four miles south Of
this city, but the fire department was
soon on the way and escorted by thous-
ands OF people who crowded the street
car lines aud blocked the way with pri-
vate vehicles.
Rumors OF the widest nature were
telephoned in from the scene until it
was generally credited that the peniten-
tiary was being destroyed, and the un-
fortunate inmates roasted alive. AT one
time it was given out that fifty had per-
ished. 1t was two hours before the
straight story could be learned.
Fire broke out in the foundry depart
ment of the Lincoln Stove and Furnace
Company Just before o'clock. BY this
time all the convicts had been counted
and placed in their cells. The building
was entirely consumed. 1t was owned
by the state, entailing loss to the pub
lie OF $4,000
The contractors will lose upwards OF
100000 on product and machinery,
although how much the loss will be
cannot be actually stated tonight Only
partial insurance was carried. The
penitentiary proper was untouched.

TnE STANTON EPISODE.

Great Surprise and Modification Ex-
pressed in Naval Circles.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 26-The re-
moval Of Rear Admiral Stanton by Sec
retary Herbert from his command OF
the United States fleet in Brazilian
waters for saluting the flag OF Rear Ad.
miral MeIlo, the Brazilian insurgent
leader, was the sole topic oil comment
among naval officers to-day. They are
mortified and disappointed at his action
and do not hesitate to so express them
selves. Whatever may have been Stan
toms explanation for his conduct has
not yet been divulged at the navy de-
partment. 1t is assumed, however,
from what the officials say, that he was
given full opportunity to make an ex-
ptanation before the secretary's sum-
mary action. but they refuse to indicate
what its nature is. 1t is supposed Com
modore Stanton will leave Rio De
Janeiro at an early day for this country.
Gossip among the naval officers
points to the probable selection Of Com
modore Richard W. Meade. the presi-
dent of the medical examining board, as
likely successor OF Commodore Stan
ton.
Secretary Gresham has expressed
verabally to Minister Mendonca the
deep regret OF this government at the
action OF Rear Admiral Stanton and as
sured him that an official explanation
will be forwarded to his government.
The official note OF our government to
that OF Brazil informing it Of the action
OF Rear Admiral Stanton and the regret
OF this government over the incident
will be sOnt to Minister Thompson and
through him presented to President
Peixoto. Senior Salvador Do Mendonca,
the Brazilian minister. said to-day that
the action OF the United States govern
ment in removing Admiral Stanton is
entirely satisfactory to his government
and that no apologies are expected or
desired.

SAN FRAxclsco, Oct. 26.-The Pacific
Mail Company's steamer City of New
York went ashore this evening in fog,
and will probably be total loss. She
sailed for China and Japan at $3.50 p. IN.
and went down the bay under full head
OF steam. The fog was very heavy, and
from the lower wharf the heads could
be seen. About $3.50 p. m, the big
ocean steamer was lost sight OF and
half hour later the booming Of cannon
could be heard and signal rockets could
be seen as they burst above the fog.
The signal station at Point Lobos at
once sent message into town, and soon
every tug in the bay was racing for
Point Bonita. Arriving there it was
found that the steamer was hard and
fast on the rocks, having gone on them
under iull head OF steam. As soon as
tho ship struck there was scene OF
wild confusion. A couple OF hundred
Chinese in the steerage set up howl
that could be heard half across the
Golden Gate. Captain Johnson was
wonderfully cool, however, and he and
his officers soon restored order.
When the sigual lights began to flash
the observer at Point Lobos came to the
conclusion that it was the steamer
Monowai that had gone on to the rocks,
and that news was circulated all over
the city. Those who were expecting
relatives on that steamer from Sydney,
Auckland, Samoa and Hawaii at once
hocked to tho officers OF the Oriental
and Occidental line. All that theycould
be told was that steamer had been on
Point Bonita, but whether it was the
Monowal or some other craft no one
could tell.
Half an hour later the wrecked vessel
was made cut to be the City OF New
York. 1t is now reported that. the
steamer is hard and fast on the rocks.
There Is eight feet Of water in her hold,
and the tugs cannot move her. The
ioss will be half q million. No insur-
ance. All the passengers have been
taken off and are being brought back
TO this city. The log is almost thick
enough to cut with knife. There is
very little wind. Tugs will be along
side all night.
A reporter has just come in from the
wreck and reports that she is lying on
her side and that there are three or four
big holes in her bottom. The vessel
will be total loss.
The City Of New York was built in
Chester, Pa, in 1875, but was practically
rebuilt few years ago. She was sS9
feet long, 40 feet . inches beam and 20
feet inches depth.
The New York's merchandise cargo
was valued at $3.50, 900, and she carried
SlO0,OOO of treasure. There were only
a few passengers

this world or the next. (Laughter)
"How about those who vote for it ig.
norantiy," asked Mr.. Palmer.
They will 90 to the bad place, toe"
replied Mr.. Stewart, iii they had the
means OF knowing what was in the act
they would have known it.
Mr.. Palmer remarked that he had
been told the bill was printed.
"Yes," replied Mr.. Stewart, then
turning to Mr. Palmer he said: "Do
you know all that is printed?"
Mr.. Palmer admitted that he did not,
but" he said biandly, 81 hope II those
who favored that act 90 to Shoel that
those who voted for it igrorantly will
20 to purgatorv at ioast."
"Why should a man 20 to purGatory
who did not sin wilfulIy," asked Mr..
Stewart. "rhere must be evil intent
in order to commit crime"
"fhere is such thing as criminal
ignorance" suggested Mr.. Palmer.
"If am guilty Of criminal ignor-
ance." replied Mr.. Stewart, II have so
many senators and members with me
that am willing to 20 to the bad place
with them"
Mr.. Stewart was denouncing Eng
lands influence in American legislation
in the further course OF his speech
when Mr.. Palmer again interrupted
him.
Mr.. Palmer said he had listened dur
ing this debate with feeling OF humi-
liation that he never expected to suffer
to the imputation "that We arc under
the influence OF England. l have sup
posed that this country was iudepen-
dent"
"That shows how much you are mis-.
taken," said Mr.. Stewart.
II am not mistaken. l protest that
this array OF English influence and
English power in the American senate
is humiliating TO all OF us. My ances-
tors fought England in every war. My
constituents arc not fearful Of England
in war or in peace. Instead of shrink
ing back into deprecated currency,
we challenge England on every land, in
every port, on every sea-we are Ameri-
cans. These appeals to our fears are
thrown away"
II am very glad the senator shows
spirit" said Mr.. Stewart. "If he had
knowledge equal to his pluck he would
be a very considerable man. Laugh
ter. He reminds me of the admiral
who boarded railway car-his courage
exceeds his discretion" Laughter.
Without finishing his speech, Mr..
Stewart yielded. aud at $40 the senate
took recess until II o'clock tomorrow
morning.

WAsnlNGrox, Oct. 90. - Tho pro.
rramme OF the managers Of the repeal
bill in the senate is to get to voting
some time during tomorrow on the
amendments to the bill, finish the work
on the amendments on Saturday and
Yoto upon the bill itself Monday.
This schedule, is, OF course, subject to
change. When it was arranged it was
supposed that Senator Stewart would
conclude his speech tonight. This he
did not do, and if he should wish to pro-
coed tomorrow it is possible that it will
become necessary to change the plans
so as to defer the vote upon the amend
ments until Saturday.
Senator Jones will require only a
short time to conclude and Senator
Allen will not speak at great length.
senator Wolcott will make n fifteen
minute speech and Senator German
NAV also make a brief statement.
There may possibly also be n few other
shorL speeches before the close OF the
debate. Senator Faulkner, after again
canyassins the senate this evening,
thought it would be possible il MIR.
Stewart did not extend his remarks tor
too great length OF time to begin tho
voting by 8 or o'clock tomorrow.
The opinion prevails in the senate
that the house will pass the bill when
it il sent over with very little delay,
and the senators are hopeful OF con-
Guiding the business Of :he extra ses-
sion by the middle OF next week.
Whether there will then be recess
or an adjournment will depend upon
the committee OH ways and means.
Ii the Democratic members OF that
committee are OF the opinion that the
tariff bill will be in shape for presenta-
ton before the time for beginning the
regular session, recess is more prob
able than an adjournment. Otherwise
an adjournment will take place.
There was well defined report in
circulation about the capitol to-day that
there had been an effort made to have
the Democratic managers in the senate
postpone voting upon the bill until
otter the Virginia election, upon the
theory that the passage OF the bill at
this time would have the effect OF in
jurng the chances OF the Democratic
party in that state. 1t appears that the
Virginia Populists have made their
fight in this campaign almost entirely
upon the silver issue, and have made
such headway as to render the Demo-
cratic managers somewhat anxious.
The suggestion appears to have received
some consideration, but when it was
represented, upon the other hand, that
the immediate passage OF the bill wonld
have a good effect in Massachusetts and
New York. it was thought best to let
the bill take its course.

THE CHINEsM LAW.

Not Probable that there will be Report
Before December.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 26.-The sem
ate committee on foreign relations met
this morning to consider the Chinese
question with view to action upon the
house bill amending the Geary law SO
as to extend for six months that time
in which Chinese laboEers can register.
Secretary Gresham in attendance and
affordlng counsel, and it is understood
he wus questioned upon the attitude OF
the Chinese government upon the SUBJ
iect. The committee considered the
question OF cost OF deportation OF the
Chinese residents OF the country, which
the secretary OF the treasury places at
$l00O0,000.
The committee did not reach any
conclusion concerning the bill and it
would appear quite probable that it
will not be reported to the senate be-
fore the beginning Of the regular session
in December.
There is a disposition on the part oil
the committee to investigate all the
facts bearing on the question and also
to give the people Of the western coast
an opportunity to be heard thoroughly.

WASHINGTON, D. G., OcL 2G.-It is
understood that a rough draft OF the
proposed tariff bill is now in the hands
of President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle for their perusal.
What has been done on the tariff bill
now is subject to changes, but it is
thought that all those things which
have been definitely decided upon by
the subcommittee will stand through
the final revision OF the bill, Gays the
evening paper. Some OF the features OF
the bill are radical.
The woolen schedule is the Springer
FREQ wool bill, which passed the house
last Congress, incorporated into the bill
practically without change. There is to
be radical cut made in the glass
schedule. There will be n considerable
enlargement OF the free list by the addi-
ton OF raw materials and heavy cut
in all duties which are not properly
revenue duties. The idea of tariff for
revenue only is adhered to quite closely,
but this application may not be made
to coal. Iron ore goes on the free list
ana LneTe IL u very COhslueIdDlo SuAN
ing down OF the entire iron
and steel schedule. The tax on
whisky will be increased not
above twenty cents, but the exact
amount OF the increase is not
decided. An increase in the beer tax is
practically decided on. The sub-com-
mittee have not quite made up their
own minds on the sugar question, but
they are practically determined not to
try to get any revenue out of sugar.
Either an income tax or an inherit
ance tax will be provided to increase the
revenues.
