WHAT WILL BECOME OF 1T.
That's the Question AgItating Congress
on the Currency BIt.

That's the Question Agitating Congress
on the Currency BiIi.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--Tho coming
week promises to be a most eventful one in
the house of representatives. 1t will not
only determine tho fate of the Carlisle
currency bill so far as tho lower branch of
congress is concerned, but in the event of
the defeat of the measure 1t will have a
far-reaching effect on the currency ques-
tion and on the policy of congress and tho
administration.
The democratic house caucus, which
viii convene at o'clock tomorrow after
noon, unless postponed on account OF the
death of Representative Post, will be the
first important step, and it is expected to
test whether any bill can command a ma
jority. auI what form of bill 1t will be.
The rule fixing the future course of de-
bate will not be introduced until Tuesday
and its terms will depend largely upon
tho events of the caucus.
Ii had been hoped 10 get n final vote by
Tuesday or "Wednesday but Springer, who
is in charge of the bill. says il may be
necessary 10 lot the debate run through
the week. There are evidences, however,
that a coup d'ctat Will be put into cxecu-
ton by Tuesday by those opposed to
the bill. This will be motion
TO strike out all after tho cnactIng clause,
which would be equivalent to a motion TO
kill the bill. IL was by a stroke Of this
kind that tho Morrison tariff was sum-
marly killed long before its friends had
anticipated tho final vote.
The leaders of the house have been con-
suited aud have agreed this move Is regu-
lar and in accordance with the rules.
They are expecting the move, although 1t
is not known positively that il will be eN-
ecuted. II an early vote is thus precipi-
tatcd and all Of the bill after the onactIny
clause is struck out, II would do away
with the live-minute debate rule and put
a summary end TO the trouble.
II. however, motion TO strike out
should fail TO secure majority. the five
minute debate would proceed until tho
final vote was taken. There is no pro-
gramme for the week beyond the cur
rency bill. as this measure will exclude
tho consideration OF everything else until
it is settled.

FATAL FIRE IN TORONTO
The GlOba Building and Several 0.her
Properties Destroyed.
ONE FIREMAN WAS KILLED
Many OF His Companions. tnclud-
ing lChief Arda agh, We're
Seriously Injured The
Financial Loss Heavy.

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. GA few minutes
before ) O'Clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the basement of the Globe
building, on the corner of Yonce and Ado
laide streets. The alarm was given but
before the first reel arrived the flames
were pouring from every window from
garret to basement. As the wind was
blowing briskly from the south and tho
ilrc threatened TO spread, another alarm
was given and the entire fire department
was soon on the spot.
Chief Ardagh. of tho fro brigade, and
some of his men mounted cornice run
ming around the first story of the Globe
oilice and we're breAking the windows to
introduce tho hose when the northwest
wall from the cornicc up, five stories high,
fell with a crash.
The men leaped into n pile of bricks.
Chief Ardagh was badly wounded about
the head and he was removed in n cab.
Robert Bowar received such injuries he
was taken to tho hospital where he subse-
quenty died. Charles Smcdly. Francis
FORSYTH, Robert Foster, James Davidson
and Harry Saunders are severely injured.
The Globe building, erected in 1889 at a
cost of $4,000, with plant valued at S6o,-
900, was soon complete wreck. Tho
Toronto Lithograph company, which
occupied floor in the building, loses all
it's presses and much valuable stock.
From the Globe building the flames
crossed the street to Harry Webb's res
tauraut and that building was gutted
from roof to cellar. Loss on building So0,-
coo; on stock, $4,000.
The wind then changed, blowing from
tho east, and Mckinney d Co.'S new
wholesale dry goods store was soon
wiped out of existence, entailing n loss of
5000 on the building and 100000 on the
stock. The World and Nel0s have each
offered their services to the Globe to
enable them to produce their edition as
usual.

by the Japanese Immediately after cross
ing of the Yalu river.
The Japanese, though outnumbered two
to one. attacked this force and dispersed
it completely. The Amoor corps, to which
the formidable movement for the relief of
Moukden was entrusted, has ceased to
exist and though the runawayS have been
traced for 90 miles, not the slightest sign
of an organized body has been found by
the Japanese pursuers. The first and Sec
ond Japanese armies are without doubt
within easy communication.
The cold in Mauchuria is intense, the
average temperature in the extreme
northern outposts being 10 degrees below
zero. The soldiers suffer many discom-
forts and many of the laborers have died
from exposure. Fresh supplies of thick
clothing and the like are going forward in
great quantities.
Every effort Is being made by tho Off
cials in the interior of China to conceal
the truth with respect to the loss of Port
Arthur. On the huge bulletin board out
side tho viceroy's residence at Nanking
was posted, Nov. %, a notice declaring
that tho Japanese had been defeated with
10000 slain and that the war was about
at an end.

GAVE THE WHOLE SNAP AWAY.
How Conspirators Against the Hawaiian
Government Lost


Government Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 6 6.-Per
steamship China) Honolulu. Dec. 81
The preliminary examination of the al
legged conspirators took place last week,
and three of them have been held for
trial without bail. The main witnesses
for the prosecution were spies in the en-
ploy of the government who wormed
themselves into the confidence of the
conspirators, and when tho proper time
came gave the whole gang away.
According TO the testimony of the witt
nesses for the government there was a
deliberate plot to obtain possession of the
government buildings, and all the promi-
nent supporters of tho republic were to be
surprised and arrested at their homes By
the details of the conspirators. The gov
ernment detectives even obtained COM
plete lists of all those who were TO be ar
rested. Among them were President
Dole, his cabinet officers, the members of
the executive and advisory councils, the
newly elected members of the legislature,
of the custom house, the army and the
police officials. The conspirators claimed
to have 2,C00 stands of arms and the sun
port of the natives, but this developed the
fact that the natives took no stock in tho
affair, and that the conspiracy was simply
gotten up by n gang OF discontinued
whites and half whites.
President Dole has received an auto
graph letter from President Mott of Chilli
recognizing the new republic.
Rev. Douglass p. Barnie of Austin,
Mass. has been offered the pastorate of
the Central Union church here, the largest
and finest in the city.

sensational Events Along the Line OF
the T.. a. Il.
RENO, Pa, Jan. G.--Snow slides cover
ing five miles, a few miles west of Lock
Haven, on the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad, blocked traffic this morning.
While a freight train, east bound. was
running along the base of the snow capped
AlleghenIes, with the ice-bound Susque-
hanna below, it was suddenly submerged
by an avalanche of sleety snow.
The train was covered almost its entire
length. Crews from the east and west to
the number of several hundred men came
to the rescue and worked the train
through the snow slide for a distance of
five miles.
Meanwhile the Erie mail train, with a
n large number of passengers, lay
at this place for eight hours.
The mail train ran tho gauntlet
and scraped the white wall which pressed
threatingly against each side, almost
crushing the train. Tho train was in i'm
minent danger of being engulfed or
hurled down tho bank into the river.
Hundreds of men are standing ready to
rush to assist engulfed trains tonight, as
the danger is great.

Tacoma People Serve Notice on the Pope
Not to Como Out That Way.
TACOMA, Wash, Jan. Ga meeting at
tended by fully 1000 persons was held in
Armory hall this afternoon under the
| auspIcious of the A. p. A., the knights of
Pythias, Odd Fellows and Sons of
Temperance 10 protest against the recent
edict of the pope, placing the latter three
secret societies under the ban of the
Catholic church. G. w. Van Fossen,
president of the state A. p. A., made a
speech of a half hours duration review
ing the papal interference in the affairs
OF European countries and the United
States.
G. w. Gallagher, Congregational min
lister, spoke in behalf of tho Odd Fellows.
He declared this order was thoroughly
Christian and eminently humane in teach
ing and practice. He briefly reviewed it's
history and enumerated its charitable
deeds. Why the pope did not want Cath
olics to be Odd Fellows was because the
Catholic church, to exist, must confine
the mental visions of its members to the
narrow channels of ignorance, supersti-
tion and fear. To go into Odd Fellowship
broadened a mans mind and therefore
untitled him to be Catholic.
ANON' Ds l. iNahACiys a. SOukIcpdAiOudi
minister, spoke briefly as Son of Tenn
perance. 1t stood the pope well in hand
to place temperance under the ban, he de-
clared, since four-iifths of the keepers of
the dives, saloons and gambling joints
are members of the Catholic church. He
was willing for any man to hold whatever
religious views he pleased, but the pope
and the Catholic church must keep their
hands off American institutions.
State Senator Ed Taylor. a Knight of
Pythias, created merrment by charging
Van Fossen and Representative Fred Tay-
lor, president and secretary of the state
A. p. A., with brIbiug the pope to issue his
edct SO as to drive all Catholics from
other societies into the A. Z. A., the only
society left not under the ban.
The senator said the pope's edict had
made A. p. AS out of 55O00.000 Profess
tants and a half of 100000 Catholics in
the United States. The Catholics who
upheld it were ignorant. Half the Catho-
lies who upheld it were ignorant.

opened up a game of craps with another

TO throw Perry and his partner out. They
objected and the reverend gentleman
drew a long knife, which stopped all argu.
ment. Calvin took Perry bodily TO Jail,
but the other d.sturbcr escaped.

dress-The AdjutAnt- Generals Report.
LAWRENCE, Kan, Feb. S7.-The at
tendance at the state q. A. r. encamp-
ment was largely increased to-day
The morning was taken up with bust
ness meetings of the various organiza-
tions. In the q. A. R. session, Depart
ment Commander Campbell read his
annual report This stated that
amid the disheartening conditions
which had prevailed throughout the
country during the year just passed
this department had held its own well.
During the past year he travelled "a, 900
miles and delivered forty-nine adj
dresses. The national encampment
amended rules and regulations so that
a comrade might be reinstated in the
post from which he was dropped by
making a written statement to that
effect and on receiving a majority
vote of those present at any
regular meeting upon the pay
ment of one years dues. A post
other than the one which dropped MIN
must follow the usual formalities of
requiring petition and report of com
mittees. The auxiliary of the w. r. G.
had been of decided advantage to the
order. Many of the posts in the Kan
sas department could not exist with
out the aid of the corps.
The adjutant-generaps report shows
that the IA posts in this department
had mustered only 4sl recruits
during the first and 800 during
the last six months term-s77 in all.
December 81 there were 1G, III members
in good standing-5O7 less than Deem
Der 81, 1893 In suspensions and REIN
statements there was a net gain of 40G

PANIC-STRICKEN.
Fire Starts in a Building in the Fac
tory District at Chicago.
CHILDREN TRAMPLED DOWN.
Two Hundred Children In Building Near
to tho Flames Make Mad Rush to
Get Out-Eleven Picked Up
Unconscious,

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Fire started about
Q o'clock to-day in the heart Of the
west side factory district in the five
GGISNg auissls A4AsbnAn Ss;xd.i,E ~ sGS
South JeffsYsoR street la the buAd-
ing were the Kaestner knitting works,
the Pioneer Paper Co., and the Bach &
Hertz Feather Co.
The building was crowded with men
and women employees and the rapid
spread of flames resulted in panic in
which loss of life was narrowly averted.
About 100 women and girls, In addi-
ton to large number of men and
boys were at work, and in the stampede
many were knocked down and badly
bruised. The women were rescued by
the firemen and it is thought no one
was killed.
The burning building was hanked on
either side by big manufactures, and
soon the efforts of the firemen were di-
rected entirely to fighting the spread
of the flames, the Kaestner building
being beyond help. The flames, how
ever, spread to the south portion of the
Crane elevator works. A brisk wind
famed the flames and the loss to the
elevator company was heavy. Five
dwellings which were clustered in the
vicinity were totally destroyed, and
the flying embers started numerous
small fires in buildings several blocks
away, but these were all put out.
A panic which probably resulted in
the loss of life occurred in the Lancas-
ter caramel factory on Harrison street
several blocks from the fire. Two
hundred and twenty children were at
work in the factory and when the
fumes from the Kaestner building
were seen some one sounded an alarm.
A wild rush for the exits followed. the
children becoming crazed with terror.
They rushed down the stairways,
trampling under foot those who had
fallen, and several boys jumped from
second story windows. Help was sum
moned and eleven children were res
cued, unconscious, by the ambulances.
1t was feared that three of them were
fatally injured.
The fire was pronounced under con-
troll at IL o'clock, having been confined
to the Kaestner building and the south
portion cf the Crane elevator works.
The total loss will probably not ex-
coed $4,000 well covered by in
Surance.
