FIRE AT FORT LYNN.

FT. LYNN, ARK Dec. 20, 1894,
Editor rTExARKANGAN;- About ! 30
o'clock this morning, the good cit
izens of this place were aroused by
the sharp crack of a number Of pis-
tol shots, and, on investigation it
was discovered that one Of the Lynn
Lumber Co.'S dry kilns was on fire.
Everybody got into their clothes
the best they could, and started on
a long swinging trot for the scene
of the fire, when on arriving Mr.,
Henry CoHrey, the live engineer OF
the saw mill was already there
with two sections Of hose, having
been to the mill to get them, In
the hurry Of dressing he got his
pants on wrong side out, and the
right shoe on the wrong foot, In
an incredible short time, under the
able and energetic directions OF
Messrs j, r. King, superintendent
Of the yard and planer and Mr..
Frank S, Tupper, superintendent OF
saw mill, two streams of water
were playing ON the fire, and in
about twenty minutes had the
monster Aend under control. For.
tunately there was no perceptlble
wind to spread the fire, therefore
the loss was small. One kiln with
about ten thousand feet of lumber
was totally destroyed, and another
kiln was somewhat damaged. The
men both white and colored, de-
serves great praise for the untirinQ
and energetic manner in which they
worked. Mr. Mahathy, of the
bridge force deserves special thanks
for valuable assistance. X.

Stories of the Gar of Russia,

ecdotes relating to the closing days
at Liyadia Of the Imperial sufferer
One of them says
zone afternoon, shortly after the

Liyada the CSar was sitting out ON
the terrace between the Caarlna
and General Tcherevne, looking
gloomily at the sea, which sparl,led
at his feet Your Majesty said
the General, how strange Is 1t that
people call this the Black Sea, It
is pure azure. 'AhT said the Gar
with a smile, If people have called
II black, that Is because IT will see
me die "
The Caar Of Russia has one set OF
80 horses, all pure white with blue
eyes, They are beautiful creatures
but deaf AZ white animals with
blue eyes always are. These white
horses are used in SNOWY process

Queen VietorIas famous cream

Brother Jonathan, with his grotess
que appearance and strange accent
is becoming almost as scarce as the
buffalo, but such is nevertheless the
case, says a writer. During the
past forty years a great change has
taken place in the manner and APP
pearance of the American people,
Today we find that the true, native
born Americans, decending from
several generations of American an
eestors are a mere handful among
the bulk Of Americas population,
They are far outnumbered by peo-
pile of foreign birth and parentage
The Irish, Germans, Swedes and
Italians taking the lead The enor-
nous influx of immigrants during
the past forty years has completely
changed the American type until
the people of the United States are
now found to be mainly composed
of German Americans, Swedish
Americans, Italian Americans etc,
etc,
Indeed there are parts of the
United States where little or no
English, is spoken, where settlers Of
nou-English 4peaking races have
made their homes who read news
papers printed in their own langua-
ge and conduct their public meet
ings in their own tongue, These peo-
pie, however, are not looked upon
as citizens of the United States
which is possibly after a four years
residence in the country-they have
all the rights and privileges OF ma
tive born Americans,
There are many other national
peculiarities which might be quot
ed as reasons for abandoning the
custom of calling all Americans
yankees. ~ Tx.

House Discussing the Carlisle Plan
Senate Doing Little.

The latest advices from Washing
ton state that the Lower House of
Congress is discussing the Carlisle
plan of finance, Republicans seem
to solidly oppose the measure. Dem
ocrats are, as yet somewhat divided
as to it, though it is possible that
they will "get together and pass
it through the House early i'll Janu-
ary because of the fear that the
next congress, which is s'Republican,
may enact a much worse law, The
fate of the bill in the Senate, is
very uncertain, as that body Gas is
shown below has so far refused to
make rules for closing debate.
The Senate is still hammering
away, discussing the Nicaragua
canal and other questions, 1t ad-
iourned yesterday until Saturday,
when it will meet and adjourn until
after the holidays.
TINE OF ADJOURNMENT.
The time of adjournment of Con
gress for the holidays will apparent
ly depend entirely upon the House.
A majority Of the members Of the
Senate would prefer to have the re-
cess begin after the close of the
Webster Stark ceremonies today,
but the word received from
the House is that such proceeding
would be antagonized there and
that the House will probably not
consent to adjournment until Sat
urday. In this event it is proba-
bic that the Senate will adjourn
from Tuesday until Saturday and
the Senators who will be left will
then adjourn over until after the
holidays in accordance with the
agreement effected in the House.

These arguments prevailed. though practical
" all the influential men Of the Sugar Trust
were active and liberal Democrats Mr.. Have

ncction with Mr. Tildens cipher dispatches. ana
others had been not less jealous Democrats.
PenuhlIcan members OF Congress did not refuse
for that reason the measure of protection they
believed 10 be needful and the argument Of the
PHILADELPHIA opponents of the Trust prevailed.
They promised TO break down the monopoly
and give the country cheap sugar, and asked
Congress to give them chance. The protective
duty OF half a cent a pound on refined sugar
was granted I'm 1890, and in March, 1892, the
Trust found It necessary TO increase It's capital
stock S25,OOOOOO, and thereby 10 buy up the
Sprcckels, knight, Franklin and Delaware
sugar reGneries. The advice Of The Tribune
was justified when they sold, and the monopoly
thus became for the first time virtually com
plcte.
The Democrats now give this completed mo-
nopoly more protection than the hepupic''nS
deemed nce,lful to insure opposition to the mo-
nopoly. The act Of 1890 moreover never gave
the monopoly year in which to buy up raw
sugar and import It free Of duty, afierward
empowering It to tax the people cent ana
half on every pound Of refined sugar, thus
pocketing somewhere from $30,OO0.oo to SOD
100000 of the money taken from the consumers
professcdly because the Government needed the
revenue. To that depth Of infamy only the
Democratic party has ever descended
