in Death.
Tributes From Men Who Knew Hin In
the House, the senate and tho
Cabinet

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27--.Tho senate met
with tho gloom which the intelligence of
Blnine's death All hour before would nat
urally cast ovcr the body and over the capi-
tol. The sad sventwas approp' lately noted
in the opening prayer of Chaplain Butler.
Az soon as the reading of yesterdays jour
nal was complete, Hale rose and announced
the death. He said: I'VE are again sum-
moned into the presence of death. A very
great man passed from earth. His long
illness, in some measure prepared us but
the dread event will carry sadness and
mourning throughout all tho United States.
and will awaken interest wherever civilized
man lives on the face of the globe. This Ia
no time or place for me to spesk in detail
of his oistinR Ruished career. l do not think
there is ono senator here who would not
dsem It fitting shat we make u precedent at
this time. and that, although Blaine. ct tho
time of death, was private citizen, this
body take immediate adjournment"
Cookrell made the formal motion for ad-
motion and declared the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
In the opening prayer the houss chaplain
referred to the death of Blaine in feeling and
sympathetic terms. Then amid profound
silence Milliken. of Maine. who represents
Blaine's old district, rose and said: 1T be.
comes my sad duty to announce tho death
of James q. Blaine. for fourteen years
prominent and leading member of the
house. Every position he held he gilded
with the light of genius, and he has given
to the rublio service for generation such
devotion and such industry and such labor
as brought him to death to-day. l do not
doubt every member of the house will be
glad to pay him the tribute of respect by
adjournment"
Holman. of Indiana said: "The death
OF james g. Blaine will profoundly I'M
press the sensibilities of the country.
Great in statesmanship, known not only to
our country but to the statesmen of the
world, and not only great in statesmanship.
not only one of the illustrious cha actors
which illustrated the value of free institu-
tions, but beyond that he was great in the
field of literature. As the historian of the
grandest epoch in the history of the world
he did his work we'll. II would seem, Nj.
Speaker, to be em,nently proper and fitting.
with the announcement of his death, here
on the theater of his great achievements.
that the house. out of res ect to his
memory, should adjourn" Tho motion
was az eed to and the house adjourned.

Gov. Richards, speaking yesterday Of Mr..
Blaine. said: II share with my fellow citi-
zens Of Montana a profound respect for the
memory Of James q. Blaine. II 10 not
enough to say that he was the foremost
statesman OF his aRe-hs was more
than that, for the impress Of
his individuality upon the age
in which he lived will become part OF it's
history as we'll a. the measures he origin
ated and tho causes no cham rioned. He
will stand higher in the history of his conn
try than Clay or Webster. with whom he
has bsen 80 often compared, for the states
manship OF to-day involves questions Of
more complex character requiring genius OF
superb type for their mastery. MI. Blaine
combined these elements Of greatness to a
remarkable degree. He lived largely in ad-
vance of his age and the future will ap-
preciate him accordingly, and place his
name high in the list of lts honored sons.
Another generation will come and 90 be-
fore this country produces a man combin
ing such marvellous qualities of head and
heart floating upon the top
wave of public esteem, challenging
the affectionate regard of his political
enemies. yet doomed to defeated ambitions
and blasted hopes"

Expressed by Members of Both Houses
His Associates Few.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The death Of
Blaine occaeioned great regret among the
members of the diplomatic corps. and they
will probably attend the funeral in body.
But seven of those who served with Blaine
in tho senate are remaining. They are
Senators Allison, Cockrell, Dawes. German,
Mitchell, Morrill, and Ransom. T.. E.
Hale, Jr., senator + som Maine, who perhaps
stood nearer to Blaine than any other man
IN Washington. was too greatly moved by
personal sorrow that came to him to ex-
press his views concerning the life and
work of the great party leader.
The acquaintance of Frye. the senior
Maine senator, with Blaine, was
of very long standing. Said he, II was
member of the Maine legislature whom
Blaine was speaker of the Maine house and
have been closely connected with him ever
since. think he was the most brilliant
man ever knew. The ravages of time and
yicissitudes OF political life are strongly ac-
centuated by the fact that in the house,
composed of 332 members to-day. there are
but twelve members who served in the
house with Blaine in the Forty fourth, or
prior ongresses-Homan,O O'Neill, OF Penn
Rylvania, Harmer, Hooker, Blount, Burrows,
Springer, Forney, Culbertson, Bland, Hen
derson, of Illinois and Ketcham."

block. All were two-story frame oulld-
inps and the lower floors were occupied
by various stores, markets and saloons.
The money loss 10 estimated at upwards
OF 100000, with some insurance. The
horrible and deplorable feature OF the
fire is the loss OF human life.
Shortly alter the flames had been got
ten under control by the tiremen, II was
reported that Mira. Shields and three OF
her children had persisted in the flames.
Al first it was hoped that she and the
little ones had been taken to the real
dence Of friends in another part oil the
city. but as time goes on and no trace oil
them can be had, the terrible thoughts
OF their death in the flames seems to be
a horrible reality. Nfrs. Shields was
seen on the sidewalk with her babe In
her arms shortly after the alarm was
sounded. 1t is supposed abe missed
the other children and rushed back into
the building to find them and WAS
overcome by the dense smoke: The build
ing burned like finder, and in less than
twenty minutes the whole square was
in blaze. There were several narrow
ESCAPES, one or two having to jump
from the upper windows in their night
clothes, but all are accounted Tor but

DUBLIN, Nov. 2S.-John N. Earns,
described as a grocer's assistant out OF
employment, has been arrested on sus-
picion OF having murdered Patrick
Iced, brick layer, who was found
shot and killed late last night near
Rogerson's quay. The police, who had
been working up the case Of the box Of
dynamite found outside tho walls OF
AIborough barracks, saw three men,
said TO belong to Cardiff, near the quay
mentioned last night. Some time later
revolver shots we're heard, and when
the police reached the spot they found
one OF the men, Reed, dead on the
ground. Ills two companions had dis
appeared.
Reed was we'll known 10 the police "a
a member of a secret society which has
long given the authorities serious
trouble and the police believe that Reed
was shot by his companions because
they feared he would divulge important
secrets regarding several outrages which
occurred during the past year, and it
was intimated that Reed may have
known who placed the dynamite near
the Alborough barracks. The Iftdspen-
dent says that extra police have been
placed on duty at all public buildings
and that coup may be expected at
any moment.
