THE FLAMES AT TROY.
A Large Business Block Burned
List OF Dead, Injured and
M Kissing.

Troy, N. Y, Feb. 18.-Several fire en-
glnes are still pouring water upon the
ruins of the Burnett building.
If any victims are in the ruins it will
be impossible to reach the bodies for
hours, perhaps days. No additional
names of missing people have been re-
ported.
According to the deputy state factory
inspector, Devine, the avenues for escape
from the building were plenty.
The fifth floor, where the flames broke
out, is divided by partition into two
parts with door in the center, known as
fire door to be opened only IL such an
emergency.
The south part, where the FIRE started
was occupied By the Stettheimer Com
pany and the north part by Van Zandt
Jacobs 4 Go. From one of these two de.
partments there was a stairway leading
directly to the street.
If the door in the partition separating
the two departments had been opened
the employees of the Stettheimer Com.
| pany could have escaped down the north
stairway.
| None Of the employees o! Van Zandt
Jacobs & Go. were injured as far as can
| be learned.
The presumption is strong that the
door between the two departments was
never opened
Insurance men estimate the loss on tht
Burnett building at $4,000, two-thirds
covered by insurance, and taa ass on tht
Mccarthy building at $4,000.
Following is a list of the dead:
Mrs. Catherine Kane.

WANTS TO KNOW.
The senate yesterday adopted resolu
tion by Mr.. Allen, Populist, of Nebraska
calling OF the secretary of the treasury
for information as to the amount Of
money in the treasury on March 4, 1889
and March 4, 1898; whether there had
been decrease of revenue, and from
what cause.
HELPS THE EAST ONLY.
Senator Teller said Yesterday that there
would be no weakening on the part OF
the Republican silver senators who voted
against the consideration of the tariff bill
He does not believe that the antisllver
men will make another effort soon to get
the bill up, but says the silver men will
find way to discuss it. They claim that
tho tariff features of the bill are almost
entirely in the interest of the eastern
manufacturers, while com mparatively moth
ing is done for the west.
NEW JERSEY AND SILVER.
Senator Teller has presented petition
in the senate from the farmers institute
of Camden county, N. j., asking for the
free coinage of silver. The petition was
sent to Mr.. Teller, as the writer II the
letter stated, because the signers rJlt that
it would reach the senate through him
while they did not feel that it would if
sent to the New Jersey senators. The let
ter stated that the action of the institute
was practically unanimous, there being
only four negative votes.
PERTINENT INOUIRY.
In the house to-day Mr.. Newlands, of
Nevada, presented resolution instruct
ing the way and means committee to in
quire what effect the difference in ex-
change between gold and silver standard
countries has upon the manufacturing in
dustries of the United States. The Pa
ci6c coast, he said, was now threatened
with an invasion of the products of the
cheap labor of oriental countries and an
increase in the price of silver would take
from the oriental countries the an
vantages they possessed.
The house resumed the consideration
of the agricultural appropriation bill.
