FIRE IN WASHINGTON.

Two Ffremen Are Killed and Four
Others Injured
Washington, May 20. - A confagra-
tion which resulted in the loss OF al
most a quarter of a million dollars and
in which two fremen were killed and
four seriously injured by falling walls,
occurred in this city about o'clock
last night. Twenty -one buildings with
their contents were totally DESTROYED
in the space of about two hours. The
burnt district consists almost entirely
of commission and wholesale jobbing
houses in the square bounded by Louis
lana avenue, Ninth and Tenth streets.
The fire started in branch station of
the Postal Telegraph company located
on + street, and is supposed to have
been caused by lightning, a severe
thunder storm having just passed over
the city. The buildings were filled with
mass of intlammable material which
made it difficult for the firemen to cope
with the progress of the flames which
spread with great rapidity. After two
hours hard work the flames were un-
der control. The list of dead and in
jured, all of whom are tiremen, fol-
lows:
Dead Giles. - Griffin. Injured,
Joe Mulhall,, J. McIlwe, Arthur Don
aldson. In addition to the above four
others are missing. 5=

My Dear Sir: 1t is the duty Of the
leaders of political parties to express
themselves without any equivocation
on principles Of religious freedom
which underlie our constitution. Cath
olics are devoted to both the great po-;
litical parties of the country, and
every individual is left entirely to his
own conscience. We are proud to say
that in the long history Of the govern
ment of the United States the great.
Catholic church has never used, or
perverted its acknowledged power, by
seeking to make politics subserve it's
own advancement. Moreover, it is our
proud boast that we have never inter-
fered with the civil and political rights
of any who differ from us in religion.
We demand the same rights for our
selves and nothing more; and will be
content with nothing less. Not only
is it the duty Of all parties distinctly
to set their faces against the false and

Df late; but much as would regret the
entire indentitication of any religious
body as such with any political party,
am convinced that the members of a
religious body whose rights, civil and
religious, are attacked, will naturally
and unanimously espouse the cause OF
the party which has the CO rage open

religious liberty according to the CON
stitution. Patience is a virtue, but it
is not the only virtue; when pushed
too far it may degenerate into pusi-
lanimity. Yours faithfully,

Prospective Deadlock

Cleveland, May 2O.-The Impression
is becoming prevalent that deadlock
will occur in the Methodist Episcopal
conference over the election Of two
new bishops Five ballots were taken
today without a choice and the cleo
ton is apparently as far away. as ever.
It is evident that there is a strong ele-
ment in the conference opposed to the
election Of more bishops and this ele.
ment is believed to have been voting in
a scattering way for the purpose OF
precipitating a deadlock. "A motion was
made without a second to postpone
further balloting indefinitely, and it
is said the motion will be renewed to-
morrow.
