was going on. In doing SO his head
struck lamp hanging from the cell
ing, overturning it. The oil imme-
diately caught FIRE and, everything in
the room being dry and of an infiam-
mable nature, the room was soon

BY this time the confusion was of
great that people began scrambling in
a wild endeavor Co reach the door,
Women and children were trampled
under foot, and, as there was only one
exit to the hall, and the fire being be-
tween the majority of the crowd and
the door, many rushed headlong into
the flames. The dead are:
Mrs. John Buick and two children, Mrs.
OySsey and two children, j. J. Buick and
daughter, Mrs. Smelling, Mrs Howard and two
children, w. o Heart and wife, Mrs.

badly injured. They are: Mrs. Fl. +.

| tional Cash Register company. of this
city, formerly of Dayton, O.; Benja-
min Heilman, and his wife. OF Brook
lyn, who were on their wedding tour;
Edmund Walsh, porter. badly
burned.
The Victims.
Mrs. Fookes jumped from the third
story window above the main floor on
Steuben street, striking on the roof of
the balcony on the main floor and roll
ing off onto the sidewalk. a fall of
go feet She received internal injuries
and will die.
Mr.. Heilman jumped from window
on the same floor, but jumped clear of
Z e balcony, falling on snow bank.
Mrs. Heilman also jumped, but struck
the balcony and likewise rolled
off into the street below. All
three came down, it seemed,
almost together. Mrs. Heilman's
fall was broken somewhat by striking
on the heads and shoulders of three
men who were passing Mr. Heiiman
was badly burned about the chest and
was internally injured. He may die.
His wife is badly burned about the
face, her nose is split open and she
was cut on the ankle. She will re-
cover.
Edmund Walsh. a porter, who. as
soon as he heard the cry of fire, went
through the house alarming the guests,
found his escape cut off on reaching
the upper stories. He succeeded in
getting out on the roof of the center
annex, and with Edwin Murphy, an
other employee, was rescued with the
aid of ladders. Walsh's hair was
singed and his hands and arms were
badly burned. He was taken to the
hospital.
Rapid Spread of the Flames.
The fir started in the basement on
tn 1ddway side, directly under the
elevator shaft and spread with the
rapidity of lightning. No one had
time to save anything above the main
floor, and before the affrighted guests
Aou ChCAbCu upon the sLree Us
the flames had broken through
the roof The elevator shaft las
adjacent to the Broadway stair y av
and the flames cut off the egress of
the guests in the northern end of the
hotel in which nearly two-thirds of
the guests were located. Those who
were not able to get past the elevator
shaft so as to pass down the main
stairway on Steuben street were with
out hope of escape for some minutes,
until their way was directed to the
servants stairway in the north section
of the structure.
There We're many thrilling escapes
and it is surprising that the casualties
are SO few when the sweep with which
the fire spread throughout the guest
floors of the main building is onsid-
cred.
The Loss.
The loss on the building is estimated
at S1l5o00; fully insured Messrs.
Herty & Moore, proprietors of the
hotel, place their loss at 5000; their
insurance is $780, 900.

RESULT OF THE DEBATE.

 Now that the Horr. Harvey debate is finished, it remains to be seen what the effect Of 1t will be upon the coun- try. Mir. Harvey came out victorious i; that point is settled, though it does not follow that the advocates of the single standard are going to admit their error. The fact of Harvey's victory, however. is likely to have a marked effect upon public sentiment; it is likely to in- fuence many, not among those who have been public opponents of free coinage but among the masses who have quietly watched the contest to derive enlightenment from it.
 Of course the goldites do not admit shat MT. Horr was worsted, but their actions confess defeat for their cham pion.

In every platform of the party for al-

ln every platform of the party for al- most quarter of century?
 It ls sad by many that the tariff as a party question is no longer an issue. That may be the Democratic way of looking at 1t. If the Democracy of 1896 decides to erase it from the platform so much the better. That act would sim- ply be an open confession that its free trade fallacies have proven too weak to be further followed. But protection is not discarded policy with the Repub- lican party and cannot be made so by any manner of means.
 The incoming congress may not be able to do any thing towards the restor- ation of unadulterated Americanism to the policy of the government, but the principles which have become dear to the heart of every Republican voter will abide with the party until the op. portunity is presented for the return to the lines abandoned to the people in moment of unaccountability. The peo- pie want not only restoration of the amount of labor done under the pro. lection oi American industries, but they want the old wages-and greater, If possible.
 The governmen given the country by the Democracy has in no degree shown that protection was a false theory. On the other hand, it was demonstrated beyond the possible power of the party to again deceive the people on the sub. ject, that protection was the one great bulwark of safety that stood between the progressive American and and the degraded conditions prevailing in Europe.
 Protection will still be on the Repub- lican banner, no matter what Demo. cracy may do to divert the public mind from that subject.
