Editor Haskell Was Welcomed Home by s
Di sastrous Fire Display.

Newton. Mass, May 23.-The residence of
Edward B. Haskell, one of the proprietors
of the Boston Herald, at Auburndale, was
badly damaged by fire tonight. The fire
originated in the servants quarters from an
overturned lamp. The house is an elegant
stone mansion, situated on one of the most
slightly ominences in Newton, and was built
in 1869 at a cost of $4,000. Mr.. Haskell
states that since it came into his possession,
he has spent fully 100000 on the house. 1t
contained many rare paintings, statuary
and bric-a-brac. The insurance on the
house is $25,000, and on the furniture $4,000.
Mr. Haskell arrived home last evening from
a six months trip around the world. The
fire was under control at twelve, being con-
fined principally to the second story at the
rear of the house. The water damage is
large. but many carpets and furnishings
were rescued. The total damage will not
exceed $35, 1000.

Cruiser Columbia Maintains Her Good
Record.


Philadelphia, Pa, May 22.-The
cruiser Columbia returned to her anc-
horage off League Island navy yard at

draught she developed IS 1.2 knots an

taken until color cards are worked out.

OWENS ON BRECKENRIDGE.
The Silver Tongued Orator Has a
Rival in Eloquence,
AS WELL AS A COMPETITOR FOR
THE NOMINATION..

FIR. Owens Declares that to Elect Him 1t
Is Not Necessary to Denounce Good
People as slanderers and Accuse
Clergymen of AlIying Themselves with
the Devil to Destroy the Lords An
nointed.
Georgetown, KY, May 22.-W.C. Ow-
ems, the leading candidate against Col
| onel W. p. Breckenridge for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress in the
Ashland, district, opened his campaign
i'll Georgetown, his home, yesterday.
The court house was filled to overflow
ing, and hundreds were turned away.
More than 300 women were in the audi
ence. and they all wore Owens badges.
Mr.. Owens made splendid impression,
and nearly every sentence of his speech
was received with cheers. Resolutions
endorsing him as an upright, honora BILE
citizen and a consistent Democrat
were passed by an unanimous vote.
With reference to Colonel Breckin-
ridge, Mr.. Owens said: "My candidacy
involves no sensational features. 1t is
not necessary in order for my election
that you break down the respect which
our people have always had for the
courts OF the country and persuade them
that those tribunals, organized for the
protection of our citizens, have been
converted into instruments of injustice.
Neither is it necessary to believe that ev-
cry newspaper man in the country is an
unmitigated liar.
"To elect me it is not necessary to
charge that more than one half Of our
Democratic friends and the good women
OF our district have become slanderers;
to elect me it is not necessary to tear
the vestmenrs from tne sacred altar and
proclaim that the ministers of holy rel
igion have abandoned their high calling
and entered into league with the devil
to destroy the Lords anointed. Tire

And right here want to say word

Objectionable incumb bent, will retain his

history no man in such circumstances
was ever elected by the voters of free
people to post of honor, and it cannot
be that under the blaze of the 10Th CEN
tury civilization, and here in the garden
of the gods, we have developed a more
immoral and obtuse people than the
world has ever seen. No man can hope
for verdict from intelligence and from
Vlrtue Win every moral force at variance
with his candidacy.
Il care nothing for mock heroic mar
shalling of the power of God against the
people who oppose him. Before the

the idle ckatf bfore the lightest breezes.

Washington, May 22.-The House at one
o'clock went into committee of the whole
for the consideration of legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill. A para
graph of the bill making appropriations for
the civil service commission, evoked number
of amendments, most of them striking out
more OF less of the appropriations. There
was general demand for time to discuss
the work of the civil service commission
and law, and by unanimous agreement three
hours were given to the subject. Mr.. Enloe.
Democrat of Tennessee, moved to strike out
the paragraph carrying the appropriation
for the salaries of the civil service commits
sioners and clerks, amounting to $33, $40.

out this paragraph would not destroy the
law.
In the course of the discussion, Mr. PEN

was in hearty sympa thy with the Enloe

amendment by Mr.. Platt. Republican of

tinued his argument in support of his
amendment, sixty cents ton being, he
said, at the present price Equivalent to rs
cents when the Mckinley act was passed.

called up the declaration n the Chicago
platform that protection WIS robbery and
