After the meeting Of the committee
Mcguire, Barham. Bowers and Hilborn
had consultation and decided to appear
before the committee Monday next and
ask that before any action is taken on any
measure for settlement of the Pacific roads

Mcguire was seen later and said:
"Messrs. Barham. HiIborn and Bowers are
outspoken in the matter, and expressed
their determination to do everything in
their power both before the committee and
on the floor of the House to prevent the
passage of funding bill or any like meas

difference in our politics will make abso-

FATAL FIRE IN A THEATER
Flames Discovered During the
Performance and a Fearful
Panic Ensued.
At Least Fifty Lives Were Lost by
the Burning of Building in
Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG. RUSSIA, Jan. 90
A dispatch from Ekaterinoslav, capital of
the government of that name in South
Russia, gives the details of fire that oc-
CURED in theater, causing a large loss of
life. The fire was discovered while per-
formance was going on. The spectators
became panic-stricken, and made a wild
rush for the exits. Many of them were
knocked down, trampled under foot and
rendered unconscious.
The building was of wood and the fire
spread with great rapidity. Before all the
terror-stricken people could get outside
the theater was a mass of flames. The
scene outside was terrible. Those who had
relatives and friends in the theater rushed
about wildly crying for help to save them.
Every effort was made to save those in
the burning building, but the heat was so
intense that for some time it was impos-
slble to approach the structure. Even had
it been possible to approach, the efforts to
save those inside would have probably
been fruitlcss as they were probably suffo.
Gated before the fire reached them.
After the ruins had cooled off sufficiently
q search was commenced for the dead.
Forty-nine bodies have already been taken
out A number of persons who were
known to have been in the theater are still
missing and there are scarcely any doubts
that their bodies will be found later in the
ruins

Chairman POtCers Enlightened on the
Union Pacific Plans.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20.-Repre-
sentative Powers of Vermont, the chair
man of the House Committee on Pacific
Railways, has received a letter from Louis
Fitzgerald, the chairman of the reorgani-
Zation committee of the Union Pacific
Railway Company, in which he says his
committee now presents substantially
single representation of all Union Pacific
first mortgage bonds in circulation, as well
as of all issues secured by liens junior to
the lien which secures the debt to the
United States. Continuing, Mr.. Fitzgerald
says:
This union of security holders relieves
the matter of voluntary reorganization
from every difficulty except that of defn-
ing the relatively fair provision which
should be made for the claims of the Gov
ernment.
while the necessity is pressed upon the
reorganization committee to enforce the
rights OF the tirsr-mortgage bondholders in
pending foreclosure proceedings, the
committee believes that it will be
its best Office in carrying into eff
fec such proposal for the creditabie
and just settlement of the Government
claim which may be approved or made by
the Committee on Pacific Railroads as
may be carried into the form of proper
legislation by Congress. l will be glad to
have the advantage of submitting the
further views of the reorganization COM
mittee and of affording any aid in our
power to your committees IN the consider
alton Of this matter at such early time as
you may be pleased to fix"

oned at Pretoria seem to have good friends

are coming from every section in their
behalf. Ladd & Co., bankers of Portland,

friends are urging Hill and Murphy.
Dubois is receiving dispatches from Idaho,
and Representative Catchings is being
wired daily from Mississippi.
Senators White and Perkins called at
the State Department this morning and
saw Secretary Olney again. The Senators
said to THE CALL correspondent tonight:
I'VE are satisfied that MIR. Olney is
doing everything that can be done. He
told US that he had received a cable mes
sage from Consular Agent Manion at
Johannesburg, saying that Hammond
was incarcerated and separated from
the other prisoners, but he was
being treated considerably. Mr.. Olney
defends Consular Agent Manion from at
tacks made upon him by Mr.. Wiltzie of
London, who asserted that he was incom-
petent because of ill-health and for other
reasons, and was neglecting American in
terests. Olney said when he read the
cable from Witzie he looked up Manion's
record and found that he was indorsed bv
ex-Mayor Grace of New York as an excel
lent man in every way qualified to perform
the duties of Consular Agent. He is at
Johannesburg as agent of large American
firm dealing in drills. Secretary OIney
considers him as an excellent officer, but,
in response to urgent requests from several
quarters, has cabled Consul knight at
Cape Town to go to Pretoria. 1t is forty
eight hours by rail, and he should arrive
there tomorrow. His presence, should,
we think, quiet any fears that summary
action may be taken against the, prisoners
without our Government being informed
some days in advance. Mr.. Olney does
not consider the Americans in any immi-
nent danger"
Senator Perkins says that Wiltzie of
London also wired Olney that he should
have communicated directly with President
Kruger of the Transyaal republic instead
of corresponding with Bayard and the
British.
Senator Perkins is rather inclined to
think Wlltzie Is right about this, but Sena-
tor White contends that Secretary Olney's
course was eminently proper. Mr.. White
says the British evidently have ''strong
pull" in the Transvaal country, for the
British prisoners have been sent home for
trial

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 20.-Rev. Father
Sherman, who is here temporarily, at the
head of the Jesuit mission, has been in
telegraphic communication TODAY with
Secretary OF State Olney, General Miles,
Senator Sherman, his uncle, and other
statesmen, urging official action in behalf
of Hammond, the American engineer
who is to be tried this week at Johannes
burg for high treason in connection with
the troubles in the Transvaal.
Father Sherman has been urged to act as
spokesman for the Yale class of '76 of
which Hammond and Sherman were both
prominent mem bers. The intimacy be-
tween the two men has continued from
childhood, when Hammond's father and
Sherman's father, the late General w. T.
Sherman, were friends and business asso-
ciates in San Francisco. When young
Sherman went into church young Ham
mond became an engineer, and is now q
mining expert for an English syndicate in
South Africa at a salary of 100000 a year

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20.-Maior-
General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
United States army, states that he has
heard nothing of the extraordinary
rumor telegraphed from Florida that the
State militia had been ordered out at the
request of the President of the United
States, as preliminary to the probable
"a
such order would necessarily pass through
General Miles hands.
Secretary Lamont had not reached the
War Department up to noon to-day,
therefore no authentic denial could be OBJ
tained from him, but all the other leading
officials of the War Department united in
discrediting the sensational rumors sent
out.
The statute of the United States which
empowers the President to call upon the
militia Of the States in certain emer-
gencies was passed the 2Sth of February
1875. It's leading provisions were incor-
porated in section 1912 of the Revised
Statutes, as follows:
whenever the United States are in
vaded or in imminent danger of invasion
from any foreign nation or Indian tribe.
or of rebellion against the AUTHORITY of
the Government OF the United States. it is
lawful for the President to call for such
number of militia of the State or States
most convenient to the place of danger as
he may deem necessary"
Inasmuch as this section REQUIRES the
President to be first informed of sim
minent danger of invasion" before taking
action. and inasmuch as no official of
the War Department through whom
the orders must be sent has received the
slightest intimation of an intention on the
part of the President to call on the Florida
militia or to request that they be held in
readiness, the whole story is set down a.

Much feeling was displayed as General

About 1000 persons assembled at the
mole to witness the departure of the retir-

MARK ELLIOTT LIVES.
The Report That He died in the Trans
radL Vas FaLse.


SANTA ROSA, CAL, Jan. 2G.-The re-
port of the death of Mark L. Elliott in
South Africa proves to have been false in
every particular. Mcdonald Elicit of this
city, brother of the man reported dead,
received to-day a cablegram from the
manager of the Salisbury Reef Mining
Corporation of London, by which company
Mark L. Elliott is employed, saying that
late dispatches from South Africa declared
Mr.. Elliott alive and well.
The letter received by the Postmaster
here announcing Elliotts death was for
warded last evening to r. P. Hammond,
who, in a telephone dispatch received at
noon to-day, declared that the signature
of John Hays Hammond to the letter is a
rank forgery.
Letters and kilograms of coincidence
from all parts of the State are being re-
ceived here to-day by the relatives of the
reported dead man, and they are naturally
very indignant at the cruel attempt at a
hoax,
