Omaha, Feb. 3.-Shortly before z
o'clock tonight fire broke out in the
show window of the Boston store, and
five minutes later the entire building
was ablaze. The store was crowded
with clerks and customers, it being the
custom to keep open on Saturday
night. The third floor was occupied
by a night school. CONSERVATION
reigned among the people in the store
and mad rush for the exits began;
men, women and children crowded for
the street, sales girls and cash girls
leaving their wraps and other belong
ings. Everybody escaped alive, but a
number of girls employed in the
millinery and cloak department were
badly scorched and blistered, several
losing all the hair from their heads.
On the west stood st. Magdelen's
church. 1t was quickly on fire and
burned like tar barrels On the south,
across Douglas street, was the Young
Mems Christian association building,
and row Of three-story flats.
On the ground floor of the Young
Mems Christian association building,
is Thomson & Belden's dry goods
store. They suffered considerable loss.
The upper floor of the fats was cleaned
out. The intense heat from the Boston
store building kept the firemen out Of
that portion of Douglas street for half
an hour, and this gave the flames a.
chance to get across the street. So
rapidly did the Boston store burn that
the cashier abandoned the cash in the
drawer and the bookkeepers had to
leave the books on which they were
working. The safe door was open, but
no one dare to tempt death by trying
to close it.
The escape of the inmates from the
blazing finder box was all but mir
aculous- Losses: Boston store, $685.
900: insurance, $4,000. Other losses
are estimated at $50 900.

the House Yesterday

Washington, Feb. 3.-The silver ques-

today, when Bland, chairman of the
House committee on coinage, made
favorable report on the bill to coin the
silver seignorage in the treasury
AT the same time Stone, of Pennsyl-
vania, presented an adverse report from
the minority of the committee. The
Bland proposition is advanced with a
view of supplying the treasury with
$50, 100000 in silver certificates to meet
the current expenses. 1t was origi-
nally intended that the coinage of this
amount of silver seignorage would pre-
vent Carlisle from issuing bonds

Rio Janeiro, Feb. 3.-[Copyrighted,
1894, by the Associated Press. IA fresh
sensation was created yesterday by
the summary seizure of a British tug
by order of Peixoto. English friends

cabling of the captains statement and
Peixoto's reasons for making the seiz-

The action of Great Britain
over this incident is waited with much
interest. English residents here are
disposed to condemn Peixoto and grow
indignant over what they term the
ill-treatment of the Cardiff's captain;
but in all other quarters Peixoto is
considered justified in doing what he

publica is lowering arount near Santa
