BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK.
Confiagration Down Town Entailing a
 Property Loss of S25O,OOO.

New York, June 23.-Fire that caused the loss of $25OOOO, and called out most of the firemen in the city, broke out this afternoon in the large seven story building at the corner of Greenwich and Laight streets. The flames taxed the firemen to their utmost and the in- terior of the building was destroyed.
 The first floor and basement were oc- cupied by the wholesale wine and liquor firm of B. Dreyfus & Co.,, and from the second floor to the roof R. Dietz & Go. carried on the manufacture of metal lamps, lanterns, oil and gas stoves. This concern has a branch in Chicago. Adjoining the building on the west, and forming an L around it Is the United States bonded warehouse of Walker & Williams. Hundreds of bar rels of spirits and whiskey are stored in the warehouse and the firemen kept their attention toward this building and prevented it catching fire.

ROYALY AT THE OPERA
GALA NIGHT AT CONVENT GARDEN
 AN HISTORIC EVENT.

The Occasion Rivalled the Jubilee Pro-
 cession-For Miles Around the Garden
 the Streets Were Choked With Hamani-
 ty-A Mingling of Royalty and Nobility
 Scarcely if Ever Equalled.
 London, June 23.-To-night was gala night at Covent Garden opera house, where the whole programme and per- formance reflected the greatest credit on MT Maurice Grau. The event fairly rivalled the procession as an attraction to Londoners. For miles around Cov- ent Garden the streets were crowded;l and the crush of carriages was so dense that many men, wearing gorgeous uni- forms and covered with jewels, had to walk for long distances amid the vary- ing comments of the crowd. Many oth- CTS, like the Duke of Marlborough and the Duke of Devonshire, drove to the opera house in state carriages, with coachmen and footmen resplendent in state liveries.
 At length the royalty began to arrive. the Princess of Wales coming first. Her costume was white, embroidered with silver. Upon her head she wore beautiful diamond tiara, pearls around her neck and a. long bow of orders across her bodice. As she en- tered the royal box the audience rose and the band played the national an- them.
 The rest of the party then filed in ! the box, each preceded by the Earl of Lathom, walking backwards. Among them were all the visiting princes and all the English royal family except the queen, the Empress Frederick and the l Princess Beatrice
 As soon as they were seated the cur4 | tain rose, disclosing the entire cast of the opera, among them Madame Melba and Nm. DeReszkes, grouped upon the stage. Then followed such rem
 dering of the national anthem as it
 never had before,' followed by a care-
 fully arranged programme, including l the second act of "Tannhauser, the third act of Gounod's Romeo and
 Juliet" and the fourth act of the I 'Huguenots."
 The efforts of the singers and the
 orchestra were received with the great
 est enthusiasm; and the performance surpassed in every way the famous l gala performance given at Covent Gar-
 dens for the Emperor of Germany.

THE PROTEST OF JdPAN.
Her Attitude on the Hawaiian Question
 Causes Uneasiness at Washington.


 Causes Uneasiness at Washington.
 Washington, June 23.-The protest of Japan against the proposed annexation of Hawaii is in such definite terms and is directed so squarely At the transac- ton as to cause the committee on for eign relations to feel that the entire matter should be handled with the ut most circumspection, as the only way in which complications of serious na- ture can be avoided.
 While there is no disposition on the part of the majority of the committee to weaken in it's support of the treaty, there is a general feeling that the friendly relations which have existed between Japan and the United States call for great deliberation and especial care in proceeding in the matter Hence the appointment of the sub-com- mittee to consider all the details, the decision to keep the proceedings of the committee from the public and the probability that the committee may not be able to report during the present ses- sion of congress-,
 With reference to this latter point it may be stated as extremely probable that the matter will be held in abey- ance by the subcommittee until con- gress convenes in regular session next December, for the double purpose of permitting the committee to make it's | investigation as thorough as possible and to permit the executive to exert his | best efforts through the use of diplo- | macy to persuade Japan of the unwis- | dom of her course.
 It is understood in this connection | that this delay is in accordance with 1 the wishes of the administration, as intimated to members of the senate The opinion was expressed in the com- l mittee that a document of the charac- l ter of that filed by Japan would, if pre- | sented by a nation more nearly the equal of the United States, lead to very serious difficulties, but there is gen. eral desire to extend unusual consider
 ation towards the Asiatic state, not l only because of the uniformly friendly
 relations existing between that coun | try and this, but also because it is felt
 that Japans success in her war witt China may have had the effect of arous
 ing a spirit of combativeness which is not warranted in the opinions of the members of the committee by her rela
 tive size and importance as compared | with the United States.

pROGRIGSS ON THE TARIFF.
Senate Disposes of All Paragraphs in the
 Raw Wool Schedule.

Washington, June 23.-After contest lasting throughout to-day the senate completed the paragraphs of the wool schedule relating to raw wool and ad- vanced into the features relating to manufactured woolen goods. The day was devoted largely to a discussion of the effect of tariff rates in the price of wool and the speeches were on technical lines in the main.
 At one point MT. Hoar diverted the discussion by reference to William J. Bryan's opposition to the tariff. This brought Senators Mantle, Allen and Stewart to the defence of MT. Bryan. MT. Teller was drawn into the contro- versy and in a few remarks warned his former republican associates that their hopes of prosperity from this bill would be blasted

on the east side, and was discovered by
DR. Detail, who was attending one OF
the patients. The fire walls of the build
ing did not extend to the roof and as a
consequence the fire travelled under the
roof and dropped sparks below. The
piers being divided by solid brick walls,
the progress of the flames was slow, but
steady, about ten hours elapsing before
it was checked. Portions of the section
were saved, but the major part was
gutted.
The asylum water service was excei-
lent, and was REINFORCED by engines
from the fire department of Macon, thir-
ty miles away, which were brought here
on a special train. DIR. Powell, superin-
tenlent of the asylum, estimates the
loss at about $4,000, including buildings
and furiture, upon which there is insur-
