Arbuclle's Plant Burns.

Fire broke out in the Arbuckle Broth
ers' big coffee mills, at John and Jay
streets and the East River. in Brooklyn,
Thursday afternoon, and it was not until
80 in the evening that it was under con-
troll. a number of men and girls EN-.
'ployed in the mills had narrow escapes.
Half dozen sustained burns and in
juries from jumping, but there was no
loss of life. The height of the buildings
made it hard work for the fremcn TO
put out the fire. and the three upper floors
of the eight-story building were burned
out before the fire was under control.
During the progress of the fire several
of the big cylinders used for roasting
coffee exploded. The other buildings oc
cupied by the firm are six and four-story
structures, used mainly for storage. Their
contents were considerably damaged by
water. Superintendent Kell stated that
the loss. in his opinion, would be about
100000.

NEW LOAN A SUCCESS.
X. G. Dun & Co.'s Review Thinks Conf
dence Is Restored.

r. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: 1.-The surprising success of
the new loan and the great confidence IT
has given To investors on both sides of the
water and TO the business men here en-
courage many to hope that it may be the
beginning of real recovery. In twenty
two minutes at New York subscriptions
are supposed TO have been at least five
times the amount of bonds offered, and III
two hours ut London they were twenty
times the amount there offered. Consid-
ering the power which control of these
bonds gives to regulate foreign exchanges
and to prevent exports of gold, the trans
action has indeed greatly changed the
financial situation in spite of the fact
that government revenues are still deh-
cient and that domestic trade shows
scarcely any gain as yet. The industries
are not charging production, nor have
prices of farm products improved. But II

and hindrance has, for the time at least.

Attempt 10 AuJOuru the house OF
Commons Fails Ingloriously.
Lord Roseberys administration has
passed successfully through storm
which its opponents hoped would over
whelm IL, and which many of its friends
believed would require the most skillful
craftsmanship to weather. Despite the
predictions of the conservative papers and
the more or less badly disguised fears OF
the liberal organs, the Government came
out of the contest with flying colors and a
majority that surprised even those who
would AT no time admit that there was
chance of defeat. The question that pre-
cipitated the dangerous situation was
motion made by Sir Henry James TO ad-
journ in order to call attention TO the i'm
port duties on cotton recently decided
upon by the Government of India. The
cotton interest is strongly represented In
the House, and when the notice OF the
motion was given il was conjectured by
not only many conservative papers but
by some of the stanch liberal organs that
the Government, which was bound to op'
pose the desired change, would be over
thrown by the Lancashire party in com
bination with conservatives and liberals
interested in the cotton trade. The Par
nellites, too, were expected to cast their
votes against the Government. But the
result did not bear out the hopes or fears
of the political parties, for, by majority
of 100. the Rosebery ministry triumphant
ly repealed the attacks of its assailants.

Lecture by Ex-Priest Slattery Pro-
vokes a Formidable Demonstration.
Tuesday was the most exciting night in
the history of Savannah, Ga. For five
hours the city trembled on the verge of
religious riots because of the lecture of
,ex-Priest Slattery on Catholicism. The
entire white military force of the city eX-
cept the artillery was on duty. There
were ten infantry companies and the
Georgia Hussars, the latter being dis
mounted. A mob estimated TO be from
1900 to 5000, the greater being Catho-
lies, challenged their forbearance to the
extreme. But for the coolness Of Mayor
Meyers and the officers commanding the
troops blood might have been the result.
Bayonet charges were made several times
TO clear the streets, but the mob which
had gathered about Masonic Temple, one
of the prominent buildings of the city and
situated in the heart of Savannah, re-
tired only after the most stubborn resist
ance. Slattery and many of the audience
were escorted TO the hotel under strong
guard

INDIAN WAR PENSIONERS.
House Asked to Include All Survivors
of Recognized Wars.


The status Of pensioners of Indian wars
is discussed In a report made by Repre-
sentative Tawney, of Minnesota, upon the
bill introduced by Representative Her
mann, of Oregon, and favorably reported
from the Committee on Pensions. Its
purpose is TO enlarge the scope of the act
granting service pensions 20 survivors OF
the wars of 1882 10 1912 SO that it will
include the veterans of all recognized In
dian wars up TO 1886. In many regiments
serving in these wars the rolls contain
repetitions caused by re-enlistments in
different companies, and this, 1t is esti-
mated, will reduce the number of beneii-
Charles AT least 700. making the total num-
Der of the survivors of these wars about
1000. Most of these survivors are in
needy circumstances, while all are In old
age, and, as estimated by the commits
sioner of pensions. the average pension
able period cannot extend beyond about
seven years. Many of these aged men
were omitted from the act pensioning sur
vivors of Indian wars between 1882 and
1912, and for this reason this present bill
is more just, since il includes all the sur
vivors of the recognized Indian wars
prior to 1856.
