Shortly after o'clock Sunday morn
ing the fire bell was rung and the de
partment turned out as rapidly as the
late hour would warrat. The fire. was
first discovered in the rear portion Of
the building occupied by the Caldwell
Millinery Parlors BY the time the fire.
men were on the scene the flames had
spread with such rapidity that 1t was
evident the building and those immedi,
ately adjoining were doomed. Good
hard work by the fire department un-
der Chief ThorD and the foreman of
both companies confined the fire to
three buildings and prevented its
spreading in all directions. This, how
ever, would have been impossible with
the wretched water pressure available,
had the usual high wind prevailed.
The firemen were handicapped from
the very beginning by an inadequate
supply of water and by weak pres
sure from the hydrants. The hose
company did all that men could do I'M
der the circumstances, while the hook
and ladder company rendered most val
liable service by preventing the flames
from entering the narrow windows of
the Sebree brick. The wall of this
building stood well, although it was
quite badly cracked by the intense
heat. Across the street every window
in the Isham & Hoover brick was
cracked as were those in the Masonic
building. The roof of the opera house
was also ruined by flying cinders. The
old MOsby saloon building, now Occu-
pied by the Arcade restaurant was
saved by good luck and exceptionally
clever work by the fire department, as
was also the small building in the
rear of the Elite falcon. Both were
repeatedly on Ere. The usual remarks
in disparagment of the fire department
and its methods were rife among the
non-working sidewalk element, but
The TRIBUNE ventures the assertion
that no volunteer department in the
west could have dole better with the
means at hand. 1t is also asserted that
some persons expressed great satisfac-
ton at the result of the fire because a
saloon had been destroyed. Possibly
this sentiment may be good christiani-
tv, but it is very poor argument for
the building up of a prosperous town
in which all interests must of necessity
be more or less identical The loss on
the four buildings was complete, there
being no insurance. These belonged to
Fahy Bros. Considerable of the stock
and fixtures of the Caldwell Millinery
ParlOrs, the Elite saloon aud Mark
kim's restaurant were saved. The
losses sustained, as nearly as can be es-

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 21.-The pro-
tracted struggle for the United States
Senatorship which has been going on
in the Maryland legislature for the
past week was practically terminated
tonight by the Republicans in caucus
nominating Congressman George l..
Wellington to succeed Senator Gibson.
His victory was decisive, and there
seems to be no room for doubt that he
will be elected in joint session tomor-
row.
Tonlghts caucus met at o'clock and
a stormy debate ensued over a motion
introduced by Speaker Mudd to make
the action Of the caucus binding as a
party measure. To this Senator Ran
dali offered a substitute to the effect
that it should be binding only upon
those who had no conscientious scru-
pies against voting for the nominee
Both were withdrawn finally and bal

roll it was found that Wellington had
secured 40 out of the rs votes present.

Of changes We're made, all with the
idea of adding to its attractions One
of the changes was in the prize given
for the best county exhibit. Last year
the premium offered was $780, and thir-
teen counties exhibited. This year 500
will be allowed for this purpose, and
the amount will be paid in proportion
to the various points of excellence
Another change was the establish
ment Of a premium for an exhibit in
GLIDING all sorts Of farm grain, grasses
and vegetables. This premium is to be
competed for only by farmers of the
state, who must exhibit only the prod
ucts of their own farms This display
will be similar to the county exhibits,
except that it will be by individuals
A large cash premium will be given in
this class, but the exact amount was
not fixed yesterday.
The horticultural display was consid-
cred. Larger premiums will be offered
for the purpose of bringing out exhibits
finer than ever.
The department Of woman's work will
be greatly enlarged, the entire annex
to the main building being devoted to
this department. Circular letters will
be sent to the ladies of the state within
few days urging them to assist in
making this feature a success.
Changes We're also made in the cat
tie, sheep and swine departments Pre-
miums were enlarged and new classes
were made for the purpose of increas-
ing the interest among the agricultur-
lists of the state and charging the dis
plays in these lines.

withstanding the compromise to post
pone the senato rial election till next

balloted today separately. The vote
in the two houses of the legislature for
senator today, thus voting separately,
is summarized as follows: Hunter

Isle Dem), 4; McCreary Oem), 81;
Buckner Dem.), l. Stone Oem), /; A.

that Of Stage, who voted for Wilson.
Populist Darlington voted for Black
burn, and at the Democratic caucus
this evening pledged himself to vote
for Blackburn. Populist Poor voted for
Bate, but is counted for Hunter in the
final vote.
In the senate Blackburn received 10
votes, against Is for Hunter
The leaders on both sides feel very
nervous tonight. The detection from
Blackburn was unexpectedly large, and
1t is disappointing. The Republicans
are out of humor with Stage for pledg-
ing to not vote for Hunter until Feb
g. after Wilson's seat in the house shall
have been filled The situation looks
strained, and revolutionary tactics may
be resorted to again. Republicans do
not feel very easy, but are more hope
full than the Democrats Voting will

HOUSE COMMITTEE TAKES FAVOR
ABLE ACTION ON THE MAT
TER.
TO JAPAN, BY WbY OF HAWAII.
THERE is SOME QUESTION AS TO
THE AMOUNT OF SUBSIDY TO
BE VOTED.
STATION ON MARSHALL ISLAND.
TO JAPAN, BY WBY OF HAWAII.
STATION ON MARSHALL ISLAND
Provided the German Government
Makes No Strenuous OBJ
lection.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. - From the
action of the house committee on COM
merce today there seems to be littl.
doubt that bill authorizing the Pa
cific Cable company to lay a cable
from the Pacific coast to the Hawaiian
islands and Japan will be favorably re-
ported within a short time. The COM
naittee directed a subcommittee to pre-
pare bill embracing certain changes
deemed desirable in the bill outlined
by the company. There will also be
a conference between membrs and the
state department officials regarding ar
rangements for a cable station on the
Marshall islands, which are owned by
Germany The principal points Of diff
ference between the cable company and
the committee are the amount of gov
eminent subsidy to be granted and the
time to be allowed for laying the cable.
1t is proposed by the company to have
the cable working to the Hawaiian
islands in eighteen months and com
pleted to Japan in three years The
bill to be drafted will reduce this time.
The subsidy asked is $1S0O00 a year
for term of twenty years, the govern
ment to have free use Of the cable in
that time. In the course of the discus
sion it was argued thatt the subsidy
asked was too large in view of the
estimated cost Of the work, S., SOC. 600 to
$IO00,000, and the probable amount of
government business which the com
mittee estimated at from $4,000 to 500
600. The suggestion was also enter
tanned that subsidies might be granted
by the japanese government, and pos
sibly China. The bill to be framed
will probably reduce the subsidy. 1t
will also embrace provisions to secure
to the United States government the
right of way in the use of the cable.
James ;. Scrymser, president, and f.
l.. Bayliss, vice president of the com
pany. have written Chairman Hepburn
accepting suggestions made by the com
mlttee that the company shall deposit
in the treasury 100000 in bonds to be
forfeited in case it fails to complete
the work within the specified time;
that the rates between the United
States and the island of Oahu shall not
exceed 70 cents per word and $150 to
Japan and China; also that after TWEEN
" years government messages shall
be carried at press rates, not to ex-
coed one-quarter Of business rates.
Mr.. Bennett, of New York, has asked
Secretary Olney for opinion whether
ii would not be necessary to make a
treaty with the German government to
secure the right to establish a cable
station on the Marshall islands
