Appropriations for Postofiice mt fort-
ress Monroe and Other Purposes.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April l.-spe-
cial al.-Representatiye Tyler appeared be-
fore the River and Harbor Committee
this afternoon, and made an argument IN
favor OF the deep-water channel for NOT
folk, and the Improvement OF the west
branch OF the Elizabeth river. AS the
latter project will cost but $1,000. Mr.
Tyler Is very hopeful that 1t Will be al
lowed. IL is feared. however, that the
committee will not feel disposed TO mase
an appropriation for the Norfolk channel
at this session. 1t is understood that the
river and harbor bill. as II has been
framed by the committee. carries an
amount IN excess OF that contemplated py
the House leaders. and the total Is being
reduced by eliminating all items MOI con-
sidered necessary.

TTLLMAN ron PRESIDENT.
An Exponent of tho Financial Hsresies of
the Silver Party.

WASHINGTON. d. G.. April Special
There seems to be no doubt that Senator
Tilman considers himself a possible can
didate for the presidency upon a Silver
Democratic ticket. There is also no doubt
that out Of the whole Democratic mem
bership Of the Senate there Is not man
20 little qualified for the position 20 which
he seriously aspires as the violent, poDu-
listic and anarchistic senator from the
Palmetto State. At the same time. how
ever there is nothing unreasonable in
Mr.. Tiiman's candid1'y. II the Demo-
cratic platform is 10 contain a free-sllver
plank. then the party should take as its
standard bearer man like Tillmdn. who
thoroughly represents n the financial and
political heresies which are advocated by
the free-silver men.
TiIman will formally launch his boom
about the middle of the month, when he
will address the free-silver Democrats of
Colorado, al Denver. lie Will then pro-
cesd TO the South, making speeches at
several points en- route.
He thinks the South and West will COM
bine In the next election and vote for a
silver man, and IL they do THIS he sees
no reason why he should not be the man.
II is an absurd proposition, but ii serves
to show the direction in which the silver
movement is dragging the Democratic
party.

COLON FLAME-SWEPT.
OYER ONE-HILF OF THE ENTIRE
err DEsTROYED.
The Water supply Was small. and the
Fire Ragged for a Time
Unchecked.

COLON, March 29.-Tbe following are
fuller details Of the disastrous fire whlch
began here Monday morning. March I'D;
The fire began at 4:30 o'clock In tie
morning, and every house south OF
Seventh street Except the Grand hotei
Suisse. Daniel de Castro's store, ana the
Pacific Mail Company's ofice) down 10
the Panama Railroad Companys station
were burned, rendering homeless and des-
tltute hundreds OF inhabitants. who are
threatened with starvation. over one
half OF the city was burned.
WHERE THE BLAZE STARTED.
The flames were first discovered on the
lower floor Of Tuck Chong cos de-
posit warehouse, situated at the north
west corner Of Eighth and Cash streets.
In the portion occupied BY some CHINA
men, and had there been any means Tor
suppressng the flames the fire could have
been confined to that building. IheIe
being no water on hand, no fire brigade,
and nothing whatever to check the flames,
they quickly envelOped the entire house
and the adjoining one, belonging 10 Senor
Arcia. Thence they spread westward 10
Bolivar street and northward until they
approached the building formerly belong
ing to the late Mrs Medal.
THE FLAMES SPREAD.
The wind being from the north east. the
flames then spread over TO the western
side of Bolivar street, burning a China
mans store. Up TO that hour $50 +. Nj,
two hours after the alarm, not drop OF
water had been thrown on the names. A
hose was then run out from the Pacific
Mail Co.'S wharf, but before steam could
be gotten up on the wharf engine, the
oil nd n =
tackled i'm their westerly march the rear
OF Emilanis' cafe. then the dry-goods
store OF Mr.. De Lsser. 1.-The Crescent"
and spread to DR.. Hafemanns soda-water
factory and drug store.
THE CITY IN DANGER.
At that moment the entire city appeared
to be i'm imminent danger. and change
OF wind would have caused its complete
destruction. After burning Hafemann's, $,
the flames spread northerly attacking
Lam Sangs store-house and Charles
Foulk's dry-goods store. They were,
however, checked in their northerly
course by the vacant lots in that d-rec-
tion. In Bottle alley three buildings TO
the northward were burned, and the
flames were then arrested by another va
cant lot between Mrs Leach's cafe and
Toledane's deposit warehouse.
a successful effort was made to save
the Grand Hotel Suisse and Daniel de
Castro's store.
The number Of houses destroyed is
eighty-six, and comprises half the city.
The value of property and merchandise
IS estimated at 100000, of which $50, .
600 is insured.
The Panama Railroad Company dis
tributed on Monday bread to the poor,
and on Tuesday the Government sent over
two carloads OF provisions, which were
also given TO all who were in need.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The House IN

Melted the consideration OF the suhuIy

zion of the provision for the Bureau Oh

Bingham tR pubican), OF PennsylVahia,
desires to amend. Before the Dill shaH

an hours debate at the suggestion or
Mr.. Haney Republican, OF Nebfaska'
upon the amendment making provision
for Howard University (colored. or
Washington. SO IT is among the strong
probabilities that the bill will not De
finally disposed or until late tomorrow.
The only material amendment made TO
the bill to-day aside from the one relat'
ing TO Howard University was one
directing the Secretary OF War 10 expend
$1,000 at the new military post and board
OF Spokane Washington.
RAP AT WILSON AND MKINLEH.
The discussion Of the bill was interrupt
cd several times by political interjec-
tions. Mr. Grosvcnor (Republican), OF
Ohio. charged the Wilson tariff law with
being responsible for the condition Of the
Treasury which forbade many necessary
appropriations from being made.
Mr.. Patterson ODemoc-aD.of Tennessee,

land.
DANGEROUS CRANKS.
Mr.. Bowers ORepublican), Of California,
referring 10 the attack upon the silver
men, made yesterday, read a series Of
burlesque resolutions. declaring the silver
Republicans dangerous cranks, who
should be expelled. He asserted with
much heat that the silver miners and
mine owners had as much right TO be
represented on the floor Of the House for
the benefit OF their interests as had
manufacturers and bankers.
The House at $40 adjourned until to-
morrow.

tition with them. 1t Is the purpose OF the
American trust TO secure contracts FOR

such plates can be furnished cheaper and
Of superior quality " American steel
works than by the European msnufac-
turers.
A circumstance that should not be lost
sight OF in connection with this move
ment 10 extend the steel trade OF the
country TO European markets. is tho
feet that 10 thought IS given by the pi1
ieclors Of the scheme 10 tho matter OF
tariff protection. The men concerned In
the trust simply proclaim that steel can be
produced I'm the United States at as little
cost as anywhere IN the world. This is
especially significant ri time when the
Republicans expect 10 secure control or
the Government upon the assumption
that the industries OF this country require
protection.

1he company IS not ranked as a very
large or important one in Insurance cir

probably not be excessive. The company
was only about a year old, having been
Incorporated in February 1885.

issued policies for cas premiums for
amounts not greater tina 5000.
