A THNENENT HOUSB BLAZE.
Sixteen Persons Painfully Burned
in New York Fire.
TERRIBLE GAS EXPLOSION.
a Union Pacific Train Rolls Down an
Embankment.
One Passenger Killed and Twenty Others
Injured, Three of Them Seriously
AMan Killed by the Rio Grande
at Castle Gate.

New YORK, Feb. Ga fire caused by
gas explosion in the cellar destroyed the
double fiYe-storY tenement house on West
Thirty ninth street this afternoon. The
building was occupied by twenty fami-
lies. John Peterson, gas inspector, was
killed, and sixteen inmates OF the house
painfully burned. One or two of them
may die. Peterson had been sent into the
cellar to repair leaking pipes. He had
been in the cellar twenty minutes when
John Waschman, who occupied the first
floor. heard him grooming, and taking up
a candle he started towards the cellar. As
he opened the door a sheet of flame shot
out, and then followed a laundering re-
port.
Waschmann and his clerk, John Man
ming, were thrown into the street. Nc
Laughlin, another employee, was hurled
twenty feet and lay unconscious. The
big tenement shook with the force of the
explosion. There were wild shrieks of
terror from every floor, and screaming
women and children rushed to the WIN
dows and fire escapes.
Out of one hundred or more persons
WHO lived on the upper floors few can tell
how they escaped. The iremen who
came on the first alarm found the build
ing ablaze. A second and third alarm
were ordered. Scaling ladders were
placed against the side of the building,
and long extension ladders raised to the
roof. Down these the tenants swarmed.
The pecuniary loss is about $50, 900.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. 6.-[Special. i
This morning there appeared a small ex-

of its being was to represent the princi-

big FLOOD IN AUSTRALIA.
The Town of Ipswich, Queensland,
Swept Away.
LOSS OF LIFE VERY HEAVY.
The City of Brisbane Submerged
Under Twenty Feet OF Water.
Telegraphic Communication Is So Badly
Broken That Only scanty Informal
ton About the Disaster in Queens
land Is obtainabIe- Foreign Notes.

SYDNEY, Feb. 6.-At Ipswich, Queens
land, twenty-five miles from Brisbane,
twenty-five persons are known to have
persisted in the floods, and it is feared the
loss Of life will be much greater, as the
swollen river is covered with wreckage
from which a horrible stencil arises
doubtless caused by bodies of human
beings and animals entangled in the
mass. The water is rising steadily in
Brisbane, the lower districts being COM
pletely submerged. In the lower por-
lions of Main street it is twenty feet deep.
The shops and contents are almost a total
loss as the floods came on so rapidly that
only small parts OF the stock were re-
moved. All inhabitants are crowding to
the higher parts of the city.
In consequence of the interruption to
railway and telegraphic communication,
only scanty information about the disas-
ter in other parts OF Queensland is obtain
able. In marlborough in March county,
thirty persons were drowned and most of
the town is under water. The town was
deserted by two-thirds of the inhabitants
Tiaro, another town on the Mary, is also
under water. Tonight the water around
Brisbane began falling. The city is still
isolated, however and little news is got
from the nearby towns. The list of the
dead grows hourly, many bodies being
found in houses which were supposed to
have been deserted.

KILLED ON THE RIO GRANDE.

Castle Gate

William A Reese Cut to Pieces Near
Castle Gate
CASTLE GATE, Utah, Feb. 6.-LSpe-
cial. IA man by the name of William A.
Reese met his death today on the track
two miles below this town in horrible
manner by being literally cut to pieces by
a freight-train.
It appears that he lately came here
from Winters Quarters, where his home
and family are. presumably to seek work.
He has been drinking heavily OF late aud
was last seen at Helper. 1t is evident
from the place that he was found that he
was on his way back to CASTE Gate,
taking the railroad track as the ST Dad
to get there.
When within two miles of ( mines he
must have got sleepy and So down, or
was drunk and fell down across the track
but how long he remained in tina posi-
ton nobody can say. The grade is little
steep just there, and when the freight
came rushing along, when in sight of the
man lying across the track, the engineer
could not bring the train to standstill
until Reese was dragged 500 feet from
where the engine struck him to bridge
where he was ground to pieces,
small portions of him being scat
tered on the frozen snow and
ice on the river. What could be found
was gathered up and brought to Castle
Gate, and an inquest will be held tomor-
row before II. j. Shultz. justice and act
ing coroner for this place.

PINE RIDGE TROUBLES.
The Men We're Murdered in Cold Blood
by the Indians.
Two Sticks and His Band Comprise Two
Families of Villains Which Have Been
Run From Several Camps.

OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. ga special from
Hermosa, S. D., to the Bee says: Edward
Stenger of Stenger & Humphreys, beef
contractors, just in from camp on Pass
creek, says the bodies OF Bennett, Kelley
and Royce will arrive tonight and be
buried here. James Bacon and Will
lam Kelley, boys 16 years old and guests
at the ranch over night, were taken
in charge by their father and uncle and
removed to their homes. ten miles south
of Pine Ridge. Two Sticks and three of
his band were fed on the night of the sec
ond by Rodney Royce camp cook. 1t is
supposed the Indians had side arms con-
cealed on their persons and after partak-
ing of the hospitality of the camp, MUIR
dered the whites in cold blood.
The report that the men were having a
drunken frolic is most emphatically de-
MED by Mr.. Stenger. The Indians stole
four saddles, sixteen horses and killed
span of work horses. Two Sticks and
two of his band are dead, killed by the
Indian police and friendly Sioux. Two
Sticks' band comprised two families of
outlaws which have been run from several
camps and seemed to belong TO no regular
tribe and lived by themselves.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

Copies of Former Annexation Treaty
Transmitted to the Senate
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The president
this afternoon, in response to resolution
adopted last Friday, transmitted 10 the
Senate copies of the annexation treaty
negotiated between representatives of the
United States and King Kamehameha in
1915, together with correspondence relat-
ing thereto. The correspondence in
cludes the letter of instructions from Sec
rotary OF State Marcy to the United States
minister to Hawaii, Greggs; Greggs'
narrating the circumstances of the ne
gotiation of the treaty and condition of
affairs on the island at that time; the
minister report of the death of King
Kameharneha and the accession of his
successor to the throne, the subsequent
decline of annexation sentiment under
the new kingdom and finally Secretary
Marcy's letter to the minister expressing
disapproval of the terms of the treaty as
negotiated. Although the letter OF Sec
rotary Marcy was written nearly forty
years ago this is thought to fairly present
the views OF this administration upon the
question of the annexation of Hawaii.
In it he objected to immediate incorpor-
alton of the islands into the United States
as an independent state and said: "Under-
stand me as proposed by the people and
that in which the present rulers are dis
posed to concur, is annexation from pro-
lection, and that their intention is, those
islands shall become part of our terri
tories and be under control of this gov
eminent as fully as any other of its ter
ritorial possessions. Should the SOW
ereignity of these islands be transferred
to the United States the present govern
ment would, as a matter of course, be
superseded by or at least subjected to the
federal authority of this country"

IN THE HOUSE.
FiIibustering Prevents Either the Anti
Option or Bankruptcy Bill Coming Up.

Filibustering Prevents Either the Anti
Option or Bankruptcy Bill Coming Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN the House
filibustering against the anti option bill
began before the reading OF the journal.
Mr.. Kilgore of Texas raise the point OF no
quorum. A glance around the chamber
convinced the speaker of the correctness
of the point, and he directed the clerk to
call the roll.
Filibustering continued, and while Mr..
Kilgore's opposition seemed directed
against the anti-option bill this measure
was of but secondary importance. The
primary object is the bankruptcy bill,
which it is understood will be called up
today when business is allowed to pro-
coed. The epublicans who sustained
Kilgore had another point in view, to pre-
vent the calling up OF the war claims bill,
involving about $500, 200. The journal
was finally approved and the House pro-
ceeded to business.
Mr.. Bum moved to suspend the rules
and pass bill appropriating 1872, 600 for
the relief of the heirs OF Adelicia Che
teau. Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, de-
manded a second, and as no quorum
voted, on motion OF Mr.. Kilgore a call OF
the House was ordered. The call showed
the presence of a quorum and tellers were
again ordered, and again no quorum
voted, and again call of the House swas
ordered. After some other roll calls the
House adjourned without having reached
the anti-option or bankruptcy bills.

A civil suit involving $3.50, 900 was decided

New York and Chicago wholesale firms.
The heaviest local creditor was the Mer-

The verdict today was in favor of the

CATHOLIC HIERARCHY.
Annual Dinner of the Catholic Club in
Philadelphia.


Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-The Catholic
hierarchy of the United States represented
at their annual dinner of the Catholic
club tonight Cardinal Gibbons replying
to the toast 'sChurch and State said:
''For my part believe the relations be-
tween church and state are as close and
cordial as we should desire. For it is to
be feared that as soon as the govern
ment commenced to support churches it
would dictate to US what doctrines to
preach, and in proportion as state patron
age increased, devotion and patronage of
the faithful would wax cold. If it is a
great wrong to muZZle the press. it would
be great wrong to muzzle the pulpit.
Thank God we can all say in this free
country, with the apostles, tThe word of
God is not bound. -
Archbishop Ryan in an address opposed
any union of church and state, as it is or
dinarily understood. In conclusion he
said: 81 hope the Catholic hierarchy will
be worthy Of this glorious country which
in future it will religiously rule"
Archbishop Corrigan said a few words
of thanks in response to the proposal to
his health.

GHOST DANCING.
Matters at Pine Ridge Agency Are Said
to Be in Bad Shape.

ST. PAUL, Feb. ga special to the
Pioneer Press from Sioux City, Ia, says a
government official from the Pine Ridge
country, who was in the city today ,Nsays
matters on the reservation are in much
worse shape than indicated by dispatch es
relative to the recent troubles. He says
all dispatches have to be inspected and
edited by Agent Brown before they are
sent out. This was done with the dis
patches about the murder of the four cow
boys. Their murder was the result of
ghost dancing, in which many of the In
dams are engaged. When the weather

SILVER LEGISLATION.
No Further Attempt on the Subject VIII
Be Made This Session.

Be Made This Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Especial. 1T is
generally conceded here that the vote in
the Senate today on Hill's motion renders
it certain that there will be no further
attempt at legislation on the silver ques-
ton this session. Western senators will
resist any proposition to repeal the Sher-
man law unless something better for the
silver interests of their section is effected.
Congressman Oferrall, who has just re-
turned from long conference with Mr..
Cleveland, says the president-elect did not
mention the silver question, which would
seem to indicate that reports that Mr..
Cleveland demands action on this ques-
ton at once are untrue.
Filibustering in the House today pre-
vented the calling up of the Utah bill,
but Mr.. Washington will press the meas
ure at an early day. He hopes to get in
under committee call, and says Speaker
Crisp is anxious to have the Utah bill
