COSTLY COTTON FIRE.
A Loss of Two Hundred Thousand Dol
lars at Mobile.


MOBILE, Ala, March 12.-One OF the
most disastrous fires that this city has
witnessed since the noted fire OF 1890
occurred Wednesday afternoon on the
upper wharf of the Mobile 6 Ohio rail-
road. which almost completely de-
stroyed the company's guiana ware
house and cotton sheds, and burned
s.67O bales of cotton intended for ex-
port. The cause of the fire is un-
known. II broke out about the mid
die of the wharf, whichis 500 feet long,
and, famed by the high wind then
prevailing, the flames soon enveloped
the entire wharf. The loss is $500, 900.
The cotton was insured for 100000 in
English companies. The balance OF
the loss is fully covered by insurance
nolices in local companies.

SENATE

WASHINGTON, March ls.-The senate
galleries were again crowded as they
have been every day since the Cuban
bellgereney resolutions have been ex.
peeted to come up for discussion and
action.
After some routine business had been
disposed of, Mr.. Sherman rep, OF
gave notice that he would from this
forward press for as early vote as
possible on the conference report on
the Cuban resolutions.
Senate bill authorizing the Hammond
q Blue Island Railroad Co. to construct
bridge across the Calumet river in
Illinois was passed.
The conference report on the Cuban
oelligtrency resolutions was taken up
at l p. m, and MIR. Hill dem, n. W
addressed the senate. lie said he
should vote to non-concur in the con-
ference report, and he proceeded with
few remarks explanatory of his posi-.
tion.
In response to query from Mr.. Hoar
(rep., Mass.) Mr. Hill said he did not
believe single law would be changed
by the passage of concurrent resolu-
tion which did not receive the sigma
tnre of the president. For that reason
he believed the resolutions in con-
current form were proper, and It was
in that light that he proposed to dis
cuss them.
At two o'clock the unfinished bust.
ness was laid before the senate and
Mr.. Pritchard rep, n. c. took the
floor in support of the right of Henry
Dupont as senator from Delaware.

Lothrop's Opera House.

The comedy drama, "The Red Spider,
or the Belle of Carbine River" was pre-
scented at Lothrop's Opera House last
evening, and the two favorites OF this
theater, Joseph J. Bowling and Miss Myra
Davis, were seen to advantage, as were the
other members OF the talented company.
The story OF the play Is a bold and thrill
ing one, interesting oil by its lively pic
lures of early Western life, and there are
some particularly interesting climaxes.
The character OF Dora, the adventurous
daughter OF the Judge, is presented by
Marie Arkwright in a very interesting
way, and Miss Myra Davis presentation
Of the waif, Roxanna Murtha, the "Red
Spider" was very clever and in keeping
with her well-known dramatic insight.
The strong character part of Dakota gives
Mr.. Bowling a good field for the exercise
of his strong ideas of melodra ma, and
very warmly was his acting received by the
large audience in attendance. His skill
i'm ferreting out the criminal in the plot
has a very realistic touch about it.
Those interesting comedians, Thomas,
Watson, McElroy and Walsh. are as enter
tanning as ever this week, and that they
please the audience is evident by the
strong approval that greets their every
act.
The other characters in the drama are
assigned as follows: Walter Vale, u. S.
Bill Hickman, w. T. Hooson; John Hun
ter, I. j. jackson; Penelope Scudder,
Miss Theresa Newcombe, all of whom
perform their p arts well.

week, and there will be the usual matt
