A RUSSIAN Town DESTROYED By
FIRE.-Advices from Stephan, town
in the government of Eolhynia, Russia,
show that nearly the whole village has
been destroyed by fire. The flames
spread with great rapidity and the in
habitants saved only 4 small part of
their furniture, bedding and other
household effects. Five thousand
persons encamped in the fields about
the burning town, each family stand
ing guard over the property they had
hastily removed While thus encamp-
g a cyclone broke over the place,
breaking up the rescued property and
sweeping By far the greater portion OF

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
SENATE.

The credentials of John F. Gear 6 S
Senator-elect from the State Of Iowa to
succeed Senator Wilson, whose term
expires March 18th, 1895, were present
ed by Mr. Wilson and laid on the table.
a bill tc relieve the real estate left
i'll the District by Elizabeth Townsend,
deceased, an alien, from the escheat to
which it might be subject under the act
of March 8, 1887, restricting the owner
ship of real estate in the territories to
American citizens, was passed.
Mr.. Harris moved to proceed to the
consideration of the tariff bill.
At the same moment Mr.. Allen, who
had offered q resolution yesterday in
regard to the arrest of Coxey and his
two subordinates, and which resolution
had gone over till this morning, rose 10
claim precedence for it.
The Vice President suggested to Mr..
Harris whether bis motion was in order
until after the close of the morning
business.
Mr.. Harris thought that his motion
was in order at any time, even imme-
diately after the reading of the journal.
Mr.. Allen consented to his resolution
going over until tomorrow on condi-
ton that it would then occupy the same
position it now did. With that under
standing Mr.. Harris's motion was put
and agreed 10, and thereupon the tariff
bill was taken up for consideration and
Mr.. Hoar addressed the Senate in op-
position to it, this being the opening of
the sixth weeks debate upon that
measure.
During the course Of Mr.. Hoar's
speech he charged the democrats with
being false to the oaths and the trust
which their party had reposed in them.
Mr. Gray in an excited manner said he
would not permit such statement to
60 unchallenged. 1t was not the
province of the Senator from Massa-
chusetts to say what the duty of demo-
cratic Senators was and for one, Mr..
Gray did not propose that he should do
it.
Mr.. Hoar replied that he did not
propose to be inundated by the 'blus-
ter" of the gentleman from Delaware.
Mr.. Hoar corrected his unparliament-
airy expression and said Senator" in
stead of gentleman" Mr.. Gray sought
to reply aud amid Mr.. Hoar's declina-
ton Of any further interruptions Mr..
Gray succeeded in saying that he was
willing TO leave the country to judge
who had been indulging in buster.
Mr.. Hoar reoined that that was ex-
actlv what he Wantcd-the country WaS
only waiting for an opportunity TO pass
Judgment on the conduct OF the demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Gray found it impos-
sibe to suppress Mr.. Hoar and finally
called him to order, his point being
that he was out of order in charging
Senators with being false to their oaths.
Mr.. Gallinger, who was in the chair
stated that he would not assume the
responsibility of deciding the point and
recognized Mr.. Hoar, who continued
his speech.

WHACK AT WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-Rev.
Mr.. Haldeman preached Sunday night in
the First Baptist Church, New York.
His text was : "The Head of the Wom-
an is the Man." After. declaring that
both God and nature had made woman
subject to man, Mr.. Haldeman made
this prophesy of the outcome of woman
suffrage: 1.-The whole area of the fran
chise would be flooded with unintel-
ligence, superstition and lawlessness,
under the direction of alien forces. 1t
would build legislation on basis as
brittle as clay, and add an inherent
weakness for which no moral force or
feminine culture could compensate. 1t
would shock the whole human fabric
by introducing capricious factor
against which all the laws of nature
and natures God had been in operation
during 5000 years; aud would demand
that the world should meet and sustain
in one generation the crash which such
reversal of ages would entail, and
would, sooner or later, invoke the NOR

SOME OF the employees of the ribbon
manufacturers il Paterson, Nj, went
10 work yesterday, but only upon the
solemn promise of the employers and
the police authorities OF that town, that
they should "oe protected not only
against all assaults on their persons and
property, but against all assaults upon
their national liberty to work and to
employ labor" What do people who
live under monarchical governments
think of American libcrty when they
read such statements? Why, life in
this country is travesty upon freedom
Liberty here means disregard of law on
the part of the vicious, and fear of en-
forcing ii. on the part of the executive
officers, lest they lose some votes.

The FEW who are so mean that they
would impose the whole burden Of the
governments expense upon the poor,
by taxing the necessaries of life, so as
to exempt their own surplus incomes
from taxation, are employing all the
various, many and powerful means at
their command for attaining their OBJ
ject. If the duties be decreased, so that
the cost of living may be reduced, there
will be deficit in the revenue, and the
simplest, easiest and least burdensome
means by which that deficit could be
made up, would be to lay slight tan
on the surplus incomes of those who
to pay it, would not be deprived of
single terrapin in winter or a single box
of Strawberries in April.

THE CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN VAL
LEY RAILRoAD.-Hon. Chas. Price, Of
Salisbury, N. c., as counsel for the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad Com
pany, has filed an answer and served
notice of motion to be heard by Judge
Simonton at Charlotte, n. c., on June
II, to vacate the order Of Judge Simon
ton appointing Gen. John Gill tempo
rary receiver Of the railroad company.
The motion also asks leave for the
North State Improvement Company,
which built the road, to intervene as
party to the suit Watson & Buxton
are counsel for the North State In
provement Company, and Cowen &
Cross and Ricaud & WE'LL for the re-
ceiver. A member of the bondholders'
committee of the Cape Fear and Yad-
kin Valley Railroad stated yesterday
that the committee had anticipated the
above action, and had consequently Sc
cured majority of the bonds of each
division of the road, and, in his opinion,
the bondholders were to be congratu-
lated on Cne SUCCESS vi Tue Coll III
getting the road out of the hands of the
North State Improvement Company, as
would appear fully when they made
answer to the petition. Although hay
ing a majority of the bonds, the COM
mittee is anxious to get all the out
standing bonds, to shut of, expensive
litigation. 1t is stated by the commit
tee that the examination of the books
by experts demonstrated that money
which should have been applied TO the
payment of interest upon the bonds had
been diverted to the North State I'M
provement Company, and that it is alb
solutely necessary to GUST that company
from the management of the road, to
preserve the property.
