The other right Dry Jones

the Senior was game, but had bad
cold, told one of his best and topped il
off with the old war song:
"Manly's Battery is on the Line,
Look out, boys, Oh, how they shine"
That was one bean too many and the
Senior crawled under his blanket.

Method Suggested Of Ama1gamating FIJI the SoACa11ed
Reform Forces
Reform Forces.

CHICAGO, March 12.-The Times
Herald tomorrow will publish the fol-
lowing: An effort Is to be made to
effect a permanent analgamation of
all the factions which were allied in
the support Of w. J. Bryan. Several
conferences have been held recently
In Chicago, at which the situation was
discussed and a decision reached that
some step should be taken to prevent
the threatened disruption of what may
be termed the reform ! forces. The
April number of New Occasions. a
radical magazine published in Chicago,
voices the sentiment of those who shave
been in conference, in an address which
calls for the abandonment of old party
lines and an organization under the
name Of the American parity.
The editorial proposes a novel meth
cd Of forming a party platform and or
ganization. It suggests that at noon
on the Fourth of next July the
American people meet in their respec-
tive townships, precincts or voting
places and organize by voting precincts
all over the United States Each pre-
cinct to elect one representative to a
congressional convention to be held a
few days later; each precinct also to
perfect permanent organization.
At the congressional conventions one
representative is to suggest who should
be chosen as a member of the Peoples
congress He should be selected not
for his oratorical ability, but for his
capacity to think. Select men who
are willing to abide by the will Of the
majority" the editorial adds, "and.

ARBITRATION TREATY UP.
No Conclusion Reached by the Sen
ate Committee.

No Conclusion Reached by the Sem
ate COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE SEN
ate committee on foreign relations was
in session today considering the arbi-
tration treaty. Two members Of the
committee, Gray and Mills were not
present. The question of amendments
to. the treaty consumed most of the
time. The committee adjourned at
1890 p. m, after an hours session to
meet again Monday. Chairman Davis
would make no announcement concern
ing the days work, beyond the fact
that no conclusion was reached.
1t is the expectation of q majority Of
to, conclude their work on the treaty
on Monday and that they will be able
to report to the senate at the first ex-
ecutive session after that date. The
retirement of Senator Cameron reduced
the opposition in the committee to two
members. Messrs. Morgan and Daniel,
who today manifested just as strong
feeling on the subject as they had
formerly displayed, and while they
did not indicate an intention to delay
a report for the senate for any great
length of time, they made 1t quite clear
that they would continue their oppO-
sition when the treaty had been taken
UP in the senate.
1t was stated in the committee that
the present administration was Just as
anxious as its predecessor tos secure
the ratification Of the treaty, and to
secure 1t promptly. 1t is understood
that the treaty will not be reported
without amendments, but the members
of the committee refuse to diyulge the
character of the amendments which
will be made. 5-y,

HALF-MlLLI0N FIRE.
Groceries and Spices Destroyed by a
Chicago Blaze.

CHICAGO. March ia fire broke out this
evening in the building occupied by the John
A. TOlman company, wholesale grocers, at
the corner OF Michigan avenue and Lake
street. and, driven by a strong northwest
wind, soon spread to the upper stories of
the building at 10, II and IA Lake street. oc-
cupied by Chase Sanborn's coffee and spice
house. When the fremen arrived flames had
spread throughout the entire upper part Of
the building in which it had started and was
rapidly eating its way to the southwark
Second and third alarms were at one turned
in, which were supplemented by a special
call for ten engines, but despite the efforts
Of the fremen the flames spread rapidly for
time. On the Michigan avenue side the
iremen were badly handicapped by the loss
Of the water tower. which fell into the flames
on account of some accident to the steering
apparatus. On the opposite side of the ave-
nue. the buildings occupied by Bell, Conrad
& Co. and the Thomson & Taylor Spice COM
pany caught fire several times, but were not
seriously damaged.
At one time during the fire explosions Of
canned goods caused considerable excitement
and gave rise to the rumor that quantities of
fireworks were stored in the buildings After
three hours hard work the fire was under
control. The loss of the Tolman company
will probably be s175, 600, and that of Chase &.
Sanborn 100000 Both firms are fully in
sured.

report made in Havana regarding this
engagement was that force Il rebels
