Fire on a Rrltish Steamer.

NEW YORK, Feb 13.-The British steam
ship Ardanhu, with cargo of hemp from
Progreso, Mexico Feb. D. narrowly es
capped total destruction from fire that
broke out in her ward hatch while riding
at anchor in the upper bay just off Toinp
kinsville at midnight Not until holes had
been cut in the deck and the compartment
where the blaze originated filed with
water did the Grew feel that the vessel was
out of danger. The cargo, valued at 5000,
is almost total loss, while the damage to
the ship will approximate as much more.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE
Senator HawIey object. to Increasing the
National HOLIDAYS.

AhollNaybs
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13--It was expected
that the tariff bill would come up in the
senate yesterday, Mr.. Morrill, chairman
of the finance committee, having given no.
tice of a motion TO that effect But the
subject was not mentioned during the day
and the entire session was given to routine
business. Considerable progress was made
on the deficiency bill, and the item of fed
eral court expenses brought out strong
criticisms from Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Till.
man and Mr.. Vest against the fee system.
1t being the anniversary of Lincoln's
birth, Mr.. Hale sought to have the bill
passed making Lincoln's birthday a ma.
tional holiday. There was objection, how.
ever, from Mr.. Hawley on the ground that
national holidays were becoming too fire.
quent. Mr.. Hill, of New York, took oc.
casion to state that he intended to propose
Jackson's s birthday as a national holiday.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. PETER

Cleary, Minnesota Republican, who used
to illustrate his remarks the charts pre-
viously employed by Mr. Towne, from his
own state, and by them sought to refute
the arguments In favor of free silver made
by Mr.. Towne. Messrs. Dolliyer Brosius
and Brunn also opposed the bill, while
Messrs. Mcmillan, Bailey, Underwood and
Cox spoke in favor of free coinage

one of the first banks of England. He

served two years for forgery. The crime
to which he pleaded guilty yesterday was
attempting TO pass a forged check foi

Sea voyages are usually deemed promot-
i've of health. SO they are in most cases.
But 1t may well be doubted If the shaking
up aboard ship, which people of very fragile
Constitution and weak nerves get, Is not
prejudicial if its effects are not averted or
nullifed by medical safeguard. The
best, IL we are to believe the testimony of
ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for
health, pleasure or business, iss Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters. lnvalids, commercial tTav-
elers, sea-captains, and yachtmen concur in
recommending this fine defensive tonic. So
do emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants
of malarious regions, and all who are ex-
posed to the rigors or hardships of climate.
For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble,
nervousness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and
constipation 1t Is eminently efficacious, and
commended by the medical fraternity far
and near.

GREAT BURSTS OF SPEED.
They are Expected at the Detroit Drying
Club Meeting Next Month.

1t has been the constant claim of owners
and drivers of the limited number of stars
OF the trotting and pacing world, that the
system of heat raciug in vogue in this coun-
try las a tendency to prevent the public
witnessing the extreme flights of speed of
which the leading horses are capable, except
by the unsatisfactory method of contest
with the watch
AT the blue ribbon meeting of the De-
troit driving club, which opens Saturday,
July Is, there will be an attempt made to
overcome this old time difficulty by new
and novel plan which this club will be the
first to offer to the public. The purse of
81, 500, offered for free-for-al PAGERS will be
divided into two parts. On the opening day
all the horses entered will start in dash
race of one mile for $1,000, and upon SUBJ
sequent day of the meeting all, except the
winner of the dash, will contest for the re-
mainder Of the purse in regular heat race.
There are in this race, Coleridge, 2.O54;
Frank Agan, 2:O52l; Saladin, 2:O5s4; Ru-
bernstein, 2:0615; w. w. p, 2:O615; and
Aileen, 2:0719, any one of which is likely to
step mile close to the worlds record.
With the entire purse in lump sum at the
end of single mile, and no second or third
heat to worry about, what mile these six
great horses may show. When thousand
dollars lies in the difference of head there
is liable to be desperate finish. Dash
races pure and smnle have naver haan n,
favor with DRYERS, for the sole reason it is
claimed. that too much depends upon a
single break or misstep. The plan of the
Detroit driving club gives bad actors a
chance later on i'm heat race, and should
prove popular alike with horsemen and the
public.
