bian postage stamps were vigorously crit
icized in the senate today by Mr.. Wolcott
of Colorado, who called up his joint reso-
luton directing the discontinuance of the

cidedly breezy speech, Mr.. Wolcott rdi-
culed the postmaster generals mercantile

George continued his argument against
the proposed amendment aud in favor Of
his own substitute. Mr.. George under

contained a heavy store Of merchandise,
mostly provisions, some Of which were
rice sugar and molasses. A foreman in
the street cleaning department discovered
the fire shortly before l O'Clock
The fremen who first came encountered
the difficulty usual In such cases, of get
ting at the fire because of the iron shutters
that protected the windows The firemen
of truck No took up their position on the
roof OF ii Une-sJory warehouse Immediately
to the west, and were engaged IN raising n
ladder to the burning building, when,
with crash, the west wall of the ware
house toppled oyer and fell on them The

STATE-HOuSE NOTES.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 2L-The formality
of voting for a stats printer was gone
through with by the Republicans this
morning Seventy-eight votes were cast,
all for George w. Crane.
Senator O'Brysn, Democrat, has not
answered to roll call in joint session since
"Wednesday. Today it is given out that
he proposes to be a candidate for United
States senator on his own account Sena-
tor O'Bryan is barely so years Of age, and
is now serving his first term IN the state
senate. He has taken an independent
course from the outset, and has gained the
respect OF the Republicans.
The Republican house, soon after being
called to order this morning, adjourned
until o'clock Monday afternoon, without
having attempted to transact any busl-
ness. The Republican house election COM
mittee, however, is hard at work, and IS
expected to be ready to report by Monday
in favor Of unseatiDg a number of popu-
lists. IN Atchison county G. A. Wood
worth, pOpulist on the face of the returns,
was elected by a majority Of % votes over
VI. K Nichols. A recount of the vote on
a local contest showed that a mistake had
been made and that Nichols, Repu blican,
had really been elected. J. X. Clark, Re-
publican, Of Linn county, has brought a
contest against j. w. Tucker, populist,
and will probably win. Tucker had 4
majority of one, but the Republicans pro-
pose to prove that he imported mum Der
of voters from Missouri.

THE WHISKY TAX.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - Chairman
Springer of the ways and means commit
tee authorized the following statement
with regard to the matter of increase at
this session of congress in the tax on dis
titled spirits:
while | cannot speak for any one but
myself, l have my opinion that there will
be no increase of the whisky tax during
this session of congress. Whatever the
house might do, the senate seems Indis-
posed to take up any revenue measure
coming from this body"
Representative Benton McMinin, the
second member Of the committee, and
also leader of the house, said:
Il have heretofore opposed the repeal of
the tax on whisky, believing that it might
well bear a portion Of the enormous ex-
psnses Of this government, including its
many millions for pensions. l don't know
what the committee on ways and means
viii do, but my idea has ever been that
when we come to revise the tariff gener-
ally We should tx the duties at the rates
That are just Having done that, we
should regulate the revenues by the tax on
whisky aud other internal taxes. | mean
by regulation, increasing it if after the re-
vision OF the tariff it should turn out that
by the revision our revenues should be
cut below the demands of an economical
administration Of the government"
Representative Wilson of West Vir-
9inIa. another member Of the committee,
has heretofore expressed himself as op-
posed to any increase of the whisky tax at
this session. Mr.. Stevens, of Massachus-
etts, has also sad that he was opposed to
it, as have Mr.. Burrows, Mr.. Hopkins OF
Illinois, and other Republican members;
so that this statement of Springer and
McMlllin would seem TO settle, until next
congress, the agitation which has been
going on in the trade and elsewhere con-
cerniug an increase of the whisky tax

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2L-The feature of
the proceedings of the house today was
the consideration Of the national quarau-
tine bill Il was opened with an eloquent
speech by Congressman Rayuer Of Mary
land, who depicted the danger which men
aced the people of this country from unre-
stricted immigration, and urged upon the
house the necessity OF agreeing to some
national law which would protect the
United States from any invasion Of its
moss deadly euemy-ch0lera
After numerous amendments had been
presented and defeated, Mr. Cochran Of

JOHN MARTINS CHANCES.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 2l.-No business Of
Importance was transacted by either
branch of the legislature today, and both
adjourned until Monday afternoon. Both
the populist and the Republican leaders
have decided to leave the muddle as 1t
now stands until after United States
senator is elected. The impression pre-
walls that the pCpulists will unite on John
Martin, a fusion Democrat. The only
straghouJ populists with any signs Of
strength are John W. Breidenthal, chair
man ofJhe Peoples party central commit
tee, and Judge Frank DOster OF Marion
county. The popuIisG senators held a
caucus this afternoon and took an iufor-
NAL ballot on senator, which resulted as
follows: Doster' y; Breidenthal, 4 Mar
tn. g. This does not, however, show the
full Martin strength, as he Is the second
choice Of many who would support u
straight populist if he could be elected.
The Democrat c-Republican combina-
tion shows signs of coming to grief Some
of the Republicans assert that under no
circumstances will they vote for a Demo
crst, and the loss Of one vote will defeat
the com biuat4On.

along the aisles they viewed each face, but
in many cases without avail; for the forms
and faces were unrecogniZable. BY dinr
OF questioning many sutTs rers were induc-
ed to reveal their names. Many OF the
patients recognized the voices of friends
and relatives, aud moHned an appeal for
aid in their awfully intense suffering.
At $3.50 o'clock Ia second train arrived

The financial loss to the railroad COM
pany Will be very large. Nothing remains
of the wreck but mass of twisted iron.
Estimates of the loss vary at from $75 coo
to $50, 900. A track has been constructed
at one side of the ruins, and trains on both
the Alton aud the Big Four are running

tions are made to A. A. Harris which can
not be suImounted; he has a record as a
rebel soldier The fact that Bailey Z.
Waggener is railroad attorney puts him
beyond the reach of harmony, while j. %:
Watkins, being a millionaire railroad
builder and money loaner--cannot
secure the support which some other man
might obtain. Something must be done
and done at once, and it is believed by
many that it has been done. That some
thing is simply a virtual settlement of the
difficulty by bringing a new man to the
front, aud his name will be Edward
Carroll of Leavenworth. The knowing
ones are predicting that the Republicans
will nominate either Ady or Perkins on
Monday night; that when the vote is
taken on Tuesday every Republican and
every Democrat will vote for Carroll and
that he will be elected.

THE ELECTORAL MESSENGERS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The certificates
of all the states of the votes cast for presi-
dent and vice president ought to be in the
hands of the president of the senate By
Monday next. AS a matter of fact, four
teen states have failed so far TO comply
with the law, and many Of those states
which have complied have done so in so
slipshod manner that if the late election
had been close an official ascertainment
of the result under the constitution and
laws might have been made almost i'm
possible, and the whole government
might have been thrown into chaos.
Many OF the messengers have come utterly
unprovided with credentials. Kansas was
one Of the most conspicuous offenders in
this respect. The populist delegated to
bring on the vote of the state was pre-
ssnted to tue president OF the senate by
Senator PETER, Congressman Simpson and
one of his colleagues. who vOuched for
him: but their voucher, In the absence of
the slightest scrap OF writing from the
electoral college. was not the kind of
voucher the treasury department required
in order to give him his mileage aud per
diem for bringing on the vote. As Senator
PETER finally and sOrrowfuliy said:
''The ouly thing left for US to do
is to pay his way hack to Kansas our
selves, and trust to the state to relm-
burse u.s."
This is not the only case of the kind.
Many of the packages brought by the mes
sengers have had nothing on the outside
TO indicate their contents. 1t is a marvel
of good luck that none of these packages
were torn open and thus rendered invalid.
Some of the messengers have been unable
to say that there was sealed and inGorsed
package inside the outer envelope. The
packages may contain the electoral vote,
or they may not.

MAYOR GLEASON BOUNCED.

NEW YORK. Jan. 21-An exciting scene
occurred at the mayors office at Long
Island City this morning, when the police
sent word to Patrick Gleason, holding the
mayoralty chair, that he must take his
orders from Mayor-elect Sanford and
vacate. Mayor Sanford, with half a hun
dred of his followers trailing out behind
him, advanced on the mayors office
where Gleason was. Mayor Sanford de-
manded from Gleason the books and pa
pers Of The Office. Gleason sprang to his
feet, and said:
You will not take possession of this
Office unless you do so over my dead body.
] am the lawful custodian of the peoples
rights, and do not propose to surrender
this Office without an order from the su-
preme court"
Gleason shook mis- fist at the crowd, and
the crowd became angry. The chief then
made grab at Gleason, caught him by
the collar. and said:
Il will not allow any violation Of the
public peace
q yield 20 force" said Gleason, and,
amid the widest uproar, he was hustled
out. He turned TO Sanford and shouted:
"Well, you take this Office by mob force,

THE CAUCUS.

The Republican senatorial caucus did
not pan out tonight as expected, A
quorum was not present. and nothing
formal could be accomplished. 1t was
made apparent that the silver issue will
not be made party issue during the re-
mainder of this congress.
An endeavOr was made to arrange the
order of business to be taken up in the
senate when the anti-option bill shall
have been disposed OF. Nothing will be
placed in order that promises to give rise
TO party controversy. Aside from the
appropriation bills. iE was decided that
one of the first matters to be brought to
the front will be the opening of the
Cherokee strip, and the reimbursing Of
the Indians for tie lands taken. Next in
order will be the interstate commerce
bills. Further than this no definite
arrangements were made.
