ANNAPOLIS, Nd, 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 to-
night by the Republicans in caucus,

there seems no room for doubt that he
will be elected in joint session tomor-

Tonight's caucus met at o'clock,

ON COMMERCE.
RESOLUTION IS FA-
VORABLY Considered.
Nicaraguan Canal and Other HAT
tiers of Grave Import Under Con-
sideratiOn-The Points of Differ
ence.

WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-The house
committee on commerce today voted
to report to the house the resolution
introduced yesterday by Mr.. DooHttle,
of Washington, requesting the presi-
dent to transmit to congress the re-
port of the committee which investi-
gated the Nicaragua canal last sum-
mer. A clause was inserted, IF not
incompatible with the public inter
eSts''
Members of the house who have
talked with President Cleveland upon
the canal within a week assert that
he favors the general project, but
wants an arrangement by which the
governments risk of financial loss will
be minimiZed.
The principal points of difference
between the cable company and the
committee are the amount of govern
ment 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 completed to Japan in three years.
The bill to be drafted will reduce this
time. The subsidy asked is $3.50, 900 a
year for a term OF twenty years, the
government to have free use Of the
cable in that time. In the course Clf
the discussion it was argued that the
subsidy asked was too large in view
of the estimated cost of the work, &c.
100000 to 100000, and the probable
amount Of government business which
the committee estimated at $780, 900 to
$4,000 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
Jones Scrimner, president, and L.
Bayliss, vice-president of the company
have written Chairman Hepburn ac-
cepting suggestions made by the COM
mittee that the company shall deposit
in the treasury $780, 900 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 Honua shall not
exceed 70 cents per word and $3.50 to
Japan and China; also that after
twenty years government messages
shall be carried at press rates, not to
exceed one-quarter of business rates.
Mr. Bennett of New York. has asked
Secretary Olney for an opinion
whether it will be necessary to make
a treaty with the German government
to secure the right to establish a cable
station on the Marshall islands.

Don't Believe 1t.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 21.-Leading
Cubans here do not credit the rumor
that Spain intends to sell the island
to England They say Spain viii hold
on to the bitter end, but they have
hopes of success and predict that wi h
the arrival of hot weather and yellow
fever next month the Spanish troops
will be decimated.
Several prominent Mexic; dailies of
this city propose to follow the example
of the Universale and take the Asso-
ciated Press, finding its service su-
perior in promptness and fullness to
the old service.
The Mexican Herald, which intro
ducad the Associated Press. has made
many brilliant scoops on Cuban and
Venezuelan news and - result is that
Mexican editors find their subscribers
demanding modern and uP-to-date ser
vice.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan IA
terrific explosion occurred this forenoon
on the second floor of the four-story
brick building owned and partially oe-
cupied by English 6. Mersick, makers
of and dealers in carriage hardware
The explosion was followed by almost
instant outbreaking of fire, and in
few. seconds the three upper stories
were in flames. It is stated that there
were about forty persons at work III
the building, and it was seemingly I'M
possible for all 10 escape.
The firemen were helpless to save
the burning building and confined
themselves TO saving the surrounding
property. At this hour it is Impossible
to give the number of dead, but 1t is
estimated that one man was killed out
right, several badly injured and others
painfully burned.
The explosion blew out the entire
front Of the building and smashed the
glass in the adjacent places. II was
followed five minutes later by a second
explosion less severe than the first.
which caused the crowd to scatter in
all directions. The explosion was
caused by gas with which experiments
were being made. Some time ago
company of New York capitalists be-
gan making 3. new gas containing a
combination Of lime and salt, which is
very explosive. 1t was intended to
supply small consumers with cylinders
of gas calculated TO last six months.
Recently the gas had been tested and
found 10 be satisfactory, but highly
explosive
On the floor where the explosion &C.
CURED there were twenty men at
work.
It has been definitely ascertained
that but one person (Joseph F. Hauser,
machinist} was killed outright. The
list Of injured was as follows:
James I. Mcneil, machinist, badly
cut about head and shoulders.
Frank Richter. laborer. bruised and
cut.
Frank P. Plegear, burned; will re-
cover.
Alexis GRAY. foreman. badly burned
about the head and upper part Of the
body.
The escape from death of forty per-
sons employed in the building was
miraculous. It is possible the bodies
of several boys may be found in the
ruins. The building is totally burned.
The loss is about 100000.
Later reports say three men were
killed and fourteen injured.

The Cuban Lnntn.

NEW YORK. Jan. GA local paper
says:
The Cuban junta in this city has
practically removed it's headquarters
to Washington. Now there is no
gathering Of the clans unless some
thing of unusual interest happens.
Carlos de Cespedes, nephew of Cen
eral Quesada, is now in Cuba. having
landed with large party of flibuster-
ers. While General Quesada himself is
in Venezuela.
There was a small gathering at the
Junta headquarters last night. Henri
ques Mrujillo, editor of Ell Porvenir.
and Benjamin Guerra, were among
those who visited the headquarters.
Mr.. Guerra said that all the Cubans
wanted was recognition. He said: "If
we could get recognition from the
United States government we could
speedily accomplish the rest and Sc
cure our freedom. Annexation comes
later but [ believe that the majority
of Cubans hope for annexation. II
should come, because we recognize that
commercial ties, the ties of youth and
kindred interest bring US into close
communion with the United States"
All of the CGbans say that the re-
ports from the patriots in Washing
ton are most encouraging and that
they hope to gain recognition shortly
and bring about annexation later.

HAVANA. Jan. 21-An incident of
Maxine Comes copntermarch through
Havana province is reported today. Day
before yesterday he was encamped with
1900 men at the plantation of Amalia.
While there he sent for the administrator
of Port Aguilate, and told him that he
came to destroy that place with dynamite
in view of its disobedience of his orders
against grinding sugar cane. But he
added if the garrison would retire from
the plantation he would agree not to do
this. This was agreed to and the garri-
son retired, but only as far as San jose
Port Aquatic is a fine estate and Gomez
has given a written order not to burn it
out of respect to the administrator and
owner, the aged Spanish patriot, Manuel
CalVe.
Gomez has travelled toward and arrived
at Guayabal, fifteen miles south of
Havana, and near the line of Pinar del
Rio province. The movements of Gomez
westward again are believed to be due
to a call from Maceo for help to relieve
him from a critical situation in Pinar
del Rio.
The administration of Port Aguilite has
arrived in Havana, having been provided
by Gomez with a passport which carried
him through the insurgent lines and in
sured him against molestation. He re-
ports that on his way he found the in
surgent leader Colunda with 800 men be-
tween San Francisco Paula and COttOro
six miles from Havana.

VENEZUELA.
Cabinet Discussing a Case of Much
Interest.

Interest.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21-A dispatch to
the Herald from Caracas, Venezuela,
says:
The cabinet is now discussing
case which has attracted much atten-
ton here. 1t involved the introduction
of manufactures from England into the
republic and is the first step, perhaps,
in practical application of the sugges-
ton that commercial warfare be
waged against England and all Euro
pean countries. George Turnbuu of
Boston, who claims part ownership in
the great iron mines in the Imataca
mountains, not far from the Oronico.
and within the territory contested by
England. started for Great Britain with
mining machines and material, which
we're consigned to a firm in Ciudad
Bolivar.
In the course of his voyage he
stopped at Barbados. where he dis
embarked with his material. There he
chartered a vessel and had her mani
fest approved, his destination being
La Cuayra.
When Mr.. Turnbuu arrived at La
Guayra, the collector of customs said
that all was right and he dispatched
a deputy to see that the English ma
terial was properly re-embarked for
the mines, Mr.. Turubull taking a tug
for Bolivar. There, when he offered
to pay the duty ON the machines he
was told he had violated the law in
not going to the point originally ap-
pearing in the manifest. He was
further informed that his act was re-
garded as an invasion of Venezuelan
territory and that it was probable
that his machinery would be confis-
Gated.
The mines near Imataca are in ter
ritory covered by the Manoa grant.
owned by an American syndicate and
including nearly 100000 acres. The
grant was made by President Crespo
for the purpose Of developing the
country now claimed by England.
The prize offered by the Jews
paper, Pregonero, in its fight
for commercial boycott against
Europeans. has been awarded
to one who makes a proposal that a
standing notice shall appear in the
press generally telling citizens OF
Venezuela who purchase British pro-
ducts that they thereby increase Brit
ish power.

BROWN AND THE TRIBUNE.
The Senator Ordered His Paper to
WASHINGTON Refnre the ELECTION.

The Senator Ordered His Paper "a
Washington Before the Election.
A good story is going the rounds very
characteristic of the chief actor therein
Senator Brown. A few days after the
caucus. when the Tribune had got well
under way in its fight against him, Mr..
Brown cody and in the most business
like manner possible sauntered into the
business office Of that journal, so the
story runs, and requested that the adj
dress of his paper be changed from 20I
Brigham street to the senatorial cham
bers, Washington, d. c. The clerk was
astonished at he audacity of the thing,
under all the circumstances, said clerk
having been assured that Brown was a
gone gosling as far as going to the SEN
ate was concerned. However, after he
got over his establishment, the occur
renee was quickly phoned to the edi-
torial rooms and a reporter was in
structed TO write up a funny article
telling how Arthur got left, to be pub
lished this morning.
In view Of Browns triumph the ar
ticle will not appear and he will find a
few copies of the Tribune waiting him
when he reaches the capital.
