WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Wash
ington birthday session of the house
yesterday was marked by the most
turbulent and dlsorderly scenes.
Mr.. Bland, clinging to the idea he
could obtain quorum for his motion
to close debate on the seigniOrage
bill, and nettled at his continued fail
ure for the past week, refused to al
low the house to adjourn over the
national holiday. When the house
met, however, although he still de-
clined to entertain any propositions
to compromise with the opponents Of
the measure, upon the representations
of certain Western representatives
that they would cease filibustering
and support the measure if he would
give more additional time for debate,
he moved that the debate continue
until Saturday. But he did not get
vote on his amended proposition.
Exciting events growing out of the
wholesale arrest of members in COM
pliance with the resolution adopted
on Monday led to disorder and tumult
which, continuing for hours, was sud
denly terminated in an adjournment.
Mr.. Cummings precipitated it by de-
clining an attempt to arrest him on
the floor. He characterized this SeS-
sion on Washington's birthday as a
farce and moved an adjournment
The appeal to patriotism, however,
could not move the supporters of Mr..
BANDS measure, and his motion was
voted down.
A serious scene followed when Cen
eral Sickles denounced his arrest.
This eliminated finally in the discov-
cry that the warrant under which
members had been arrested VS.
faulty, in that the names OF thosc r.
rested bad not been included in the
warrant. BY this time the house was
in such a tangle that Mr.. Bland
moved to adjourn. Despite the eff
forts of the Republicans to hold the
Democrats in session in order to force
them to find a way out of their pre-
dicament, the motion was carried.
When the house met Friday all the
arrested members were discharged
and the seigniorage fight was again
taken up but no quorum responded
and the house adjourned.

A Portrait of Lewis Cass.

The state department received from
the New York descendants of Lewis
Cass a half-length oil portrait Of the
general, who was secretary of war and
minister to France under Jackson and
secretary Of state under Buchanan.
The portrait is evidently copy, and
the comparatively youthful appearance
of the subject, as well as the glimpse
of embroidered wine colored waistcoat
suggests that it may have been painted
in Paris about the year 1898, when
Sumner nosed in his journal that'"Mr.
Cass is said to live in a style superior
to that Of any minister ever sent by
America. Washington Letter.

WRECKED BY INCENDIARIES.
The Great Worlds Fair Agricultural
Building Ruined.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The handsome
Agricultural building at the worlds
fair grounds was almost completely
ruined by an incendiary FIRE this morn
ing and for time other great struc-
lures were in danger.
The flames first started in one cor
ner and running up the outside of the
pillars gained Roadway in the roof
and spread towards the dome in the
center. Once having a start in the
lofty arch, its destruction was a mat
ter of short order. As the fire spread
through the dry timbers of the roof,
burning embers soon began dropping
to the floor and the supports,
gradually weakened, at last gave way,
carrying with them connected parts
of the roof, and the dome pitched in
ruins to the floor. It's fall practically
put an end to the fremen's work.
Small patches of flame still were visi-
BILE around the ragged edges of the
roof, but floods of water directed
against them soon drowned out all
danger of a spread of the fire.
The destruction of the dome left the
already partially ruined building even
more nnsightly and it now bears little
resemblance to the ornate structure
surmounted by the statue of Diana
which formed feature of the Court
of Honor.
But one theory was advanced at the
grounds regarding the origin of the
fire-that an incendiary was again re-
sponsible for the destruction. The
repeated attempts to burn the fair
buildings have been ascribed to this
cause.
The gilded statue of Diana was re-
moved about six weeks ago and so
escaped destruction in to-day's blaze.

FOUR KILLED, THREE WOUNDED
Awful Tragedy in a Railroad Depot at
Houston, Texas.


HOUsTON, Texas, Feb. 81. - In the
Grand Central depot here last night
at 10 o'clock Jim Mitchell of Rich
mond, Fort Bend county, a leader of
the Woodpeckers of that county, a
man long known as a desperate
character, engaged in a pistol duel
with Constable D. |. Sutton of Eagle
Park and as result three men and a
little child were killed in the waiting
room, and two women and a man bad
~ wounded.
Milton Sparks and D. l. Sutton, con-
stables of Eagle Lake, were in the
city as attached witnesses in a Fort
Bend feud murder case and Mrs.
Sparks accompanied her husband.
Mitchell, who was waiting for his
father and brother from Rich
mond, espied Sutton. He opened
fire which was promptly returned,
Sutton falling after firing a second
shot. Mitchell kept up his murder
GUS fusilade until he had fired six
shots. The result was that in addi-
ton to Sutton being killed, Milton
Sparks was shot to death and Dan
Gleason, an omnibus driver, also lies
dead. Mrs. Sparks, wife of the muir
dered man, was badly wounded, as
was also a child that she carried. A
brother of Sparks was mortally
wounded and Mrs. Mcdowell, an aged
lady, received one of the bullets and
her chances of recovery are slim.
1t is pretty evident that Sutton
killed Gleason while Mitchell killed
Sutton, Milton Sparks and the baby,
mortally wounded Sparks brother
and shot Mrs. Mcdowell.
