THE AUDIENCE IN \ PHILADELPHIA THEATRE
TAKES FRIGHT AT STAGE FIRE
Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-A terrible panic was mar
rowly averted at the Chestnut Street Opera House
tonight at the presentation Of THE war or
Wealth" At the close OF the third act Of the play
a quantity of cotton set fire on the stage
to represent the burning of a mill, and the column
OF fire that shot up from the stage and the volume
of smoke that filled the house made the scene en-
trey too realistic to be pleasant to the spectators
To add to the uneasiness of the audience the as
bestos curtain of the house sent down upon the
scene. and some in the audience shouted Fire"
The nerves of the audience had already been strung
up = high pitch by the fire upon the stage, and
this terrible cry OF Fire" IN crowded thea
tire proved too much for the spectators and a wild
rush made for the doors. Some of the cool
heads in the audience however, shouted out that
the fire was part OF the performance, and finally
the panic-strcken throng was quieted. and the
people returned their seats and the performance
proceeded During the panic three women tainted,
and carried in an insensible condition from
the house.

fBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUNE
Washington, Feb. 25-By a vote of 112 yeas to
14S nays the House of Representatives to-day re-
jected the amendment providing for the payment
OF S425OOO on account OF certain Behring Sea
claims thus reversing the action of the Commit
tee Of the Whole which, by a vote Of "a to Sc. had
adopted the same amendment half-hour before.
The majority against the proposition would have
been much larger If number Of members who
voted for it had not done so under the impression
that the claims had been adjudcated by the Tri-
bunal of Arbitration and an award made against
the United States and in favor Of the alleged
British claimants Two hours were allowed for
debate before the vote taken in the Commit
tee Of the Whole. The case In favor OF the
amendment, as submitted by it's advocates was
Unexpectedly weak, and seemed strongly to indi-
cate that the President and his Secretary OF state
had not thoroughly investigated and considered
the matter before making the offer to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, which the latter, Mr.. Cannon. OF
Illinois aptly said, snapped up quickly as .
bass does fly"
The Democratic leaders, including the ponder
Gus chairman of the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs, who advocated the amendment, all stroye
to convey the impression that the National faith
and honor had somehow been pledged to the pay
ment of the lump sum- in satisfaction OF claims
that had been adjudicated by the Tribunal OF Ar
bitration. II was sorry pretence, in view Of the
facts Of the case and II the Democratic advocates
Of the amendment knew as much as they pre-
tended to know about the facts the pretence was
utterly inexcusabe. The most charitable view OF
the matter is thet they were ignorant Of those
facts.
The speech of Colonel Breckenridge in closing
the debate in favor Of the appropriation was as
full of moral reflections one OF Mr.. PecksniTs
homilies, but it barren OF facts and destitute
OF logic. Mr.. Dingley Of Maine. appeared to be
impressed with the belief that the easier and
cheaper way TO meet the difficulty would be to
pay the bill out OF hand and be done with II. but
he did not suggest. Colonel Breckinridge did,
that il Congress should refuse TO make the appro.
pria ation and send the matter to a joint commis-
sion. 1t would be morally responsible for the per-
jures Of which the claimants would probably be
guilty in order TO substantate their claims PROB.
ably such a suggestion would not have occurred
to anybody except Colonel Breckinridge.
The speeches of Messrs. Cannon ana Hit. OF
Illinois. and Henderson. OF Iowa. completely de-
moished the Administrations British case and left
the claims without a leg 10 stand upon. Mr.:
Hits revelations fairly startled the House ana
completely demoralized the "Cuckoos.
