If Senator Hoar fulfills his promise
to bring up the question of the amend
ment Of the rules, his motion will be
stubbornly resisted by the Democrats.
Those Of them who favor the changes
proposed will not assent to them on
the eve of the tariff fight.
The new senator from Kentucky,
Hon. w. ]. Deboe, probably will be
sworn in tomorrow
The house programme contemplates
adjournment for three days from Mon
day and Wednesday. Should the con-
ference report on the Indian appropri-
alton bill reach the house it will be
considered. A suggestion. to take ac-
tion on the bankruptcy tol passed by
the senate is being thought over and
may reach some definite shape before
the close of the week.
The tariff bill as amended will not be
given to the finance committee tomor-
row. No meeting Of the committee as
originally intended will be held, be-
cause Of the absence of Senator Platt,
of Connecticut, a member of the SUBJ
committee on tariff. A meeting prob
ably will be held Tuesday. The Repub-
lican members will, in the meantime.
continue their efforts to have the Demo-
Gratis fix time for reporting the bill.
The latter, however, persist in declaring
that they will enter upon no agree

examine it. The Republican subcom-

TREaTY'S FaTE IS UNCERTaIN.
Opposition Lacks Four Votes

WASHINGTON, May 2-The senate
will resume business in earnest Mon-
day. and the week bids fair to be one
of important results. According to
agreement a vote will be taken on the
arbitration treaty on Wednesday. 1t
is also quite probable that the commit
tee vacancies will be filled and that
the tariff bill will be reported to the
senate.
For the rest, Senator Morgan will
probably call up his Cuban resolution,
the sundry civil appropriation bill may
be passed, and Senator Hear has given
notice that he will move to have the
committee on rules discharged from
the further consideration of his amend
ments to the rules for the limitation Of
debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the
fate Of the treaty, and it now looks as
if the margin would not exceed two or
three votes. whatever the result may
be. There are a few unascertaind
votes which will decide the result A
canvass made yesterday shows forty
votes certain for the treaty and twen-
ty-five certain against it. Twenty nine
votes in opposition are sufficient to de-
feat it, but the opposition do not know
just where these four votes can be
found. There will be considerable spar
ring over the treaty before the vote is
taken, but no prolonged debate is ex-
pected.
The consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill has been postponed
until Senator Allison. who will have

Reference to the city directory shows
that three Of the grand jurors have left
the city, which cuts the number drawn
for this important duty down TO twenty
Under the circumstances, it is probable
that another Of the number will be ex-
cused from serving, and this will leave
but nineteen of the number drawn
available should they all be duly served
and not exempted from service by one
reason or another. Under the law
sixteen grand jurors constitute quor-
um, and it takes an even dozen to re-
turn an indictment. For this reason
it is possible that when the members
who have been summoned appear be-

there was no just gro1nd fbr the talk
that has been floating about as to the
manner in which the grand juries have.
been drawn. Under the law, the six
Judges Of the district court, the mayor
and county assessor are empowered to
select names of 300 citizens, from which
list the grand jurors are drawn. These
lists are generally made up in the
month of June each year.. and after
being signed by the several Judges, the
mayor and assessor, are filed with the
clerk of. the court The name of each
of the 300 is written separately on a
small card and the entire lot placed
in a box similar to that from which
petit jurors are drawn In the district
court When a grand jury is needed,
the clerk of the court draws from the
box or wheel twenty three names, and
these constitute the grand jury for
that term of court. The list Of 300
names Is generally selected from the
city directory by the Judges and then
submitted to the mayor and assessor.
When the list is agreed upon, 1t is then
signed and deposited with the clerk of
the court. In june 1895, the last list
was made up and filed with the clerk.
Last year it was decided there were

VERY Ike A c|NC CASE.
Young Woman Found Near
Hazel Park Badly Injured.

A woman who would not give her
name, but who waaa badly bruised. evil
IDENTIFY the victim of a brutal attack,
was found in secluded place near the
harvester works, atSHazel Park, about
2 o'clock this morning, under circum-
stances which strongly suggest an at
tempt to parallel the notorious Kath-
crime Cling murder. The details Of the
assault are as yet unknown even to the
police, and, in similarity to the Cling
murder, the runaway theory is ad-
yanced.
At a comparatively early hour last
night young man named George.
Hayden reported to the police at cen
trail station that rig belonging to the
Moorhead livery had been stolen from
the front of the Shamrock saloon,
near Seventh and Pine streets.
He gave a description of the missing
vehicle, but said nothing about the
feminine occupant, which It now ap-
pears the buggy contained at the time.
The suburban police stations were
notified to keep an eye out for a rig
of the description given. and about l
o'clock this morning, Officer Hanson,
hearing screams in deserted locality
on Phalen avenue near the Harvester
works, began to investigate.
Before he reached the location of the
outcries, he was startled by the rapid
approach of a buggy answering the
description of the missing rig. The
horse wast being driven at rapid rate
by man who was evidently laboring
under great strain, and who, on
closer investigation, proved to be badly
cut about the head and face. Hanson
promptly took the rig into custody, and
at the Margaret street station the pris-
oner gave his name as Mike Needham.
Search was Immediately made for the
woman, for the screams were judged
to be those of woman, while the Off
GERS at the station closely quizzed
Needham The latter denied that he
had any woman in the rig, and said
that he secured the vehicle from Ro-
vans livery About 2 O'Clock, how
ever, the seaching police officers found
the woman who had been heard
screaming in the vicinity of her first
alarm. She had evidently been engaged
in desperate conflict with some one,
her clothing being disarranged and

still sufficient names left out Of the 900
in the grand jury box to last, and
consequently in June, 1896, there was no
selection made of possible grand jurors.
This, the official stated, would show
to the public that it was simply
coincidence as to the charge that there
were large number Of grand jurors
who were identified with the financial
interests in the last two bodies. The
lists had been made up in the summer
of 1896, and the records in the Office
of the clerk Of the courts were the
best evidence to disprove the reports
that had been circulated. After the
twenty three names had been drawn
for the term of court commencing to-
day, but very few remained in the
box, and it Is probable that the judges,
the mayor and assessor will have to
prepare new list before q sufficient
number of jurors can be secured to
make up a quorum. Whether this will
have to be done is, of course, q ques-
ton which cannot be determined until
the sheriff reports to the court this
mcrning as to the number Of the
twenty-three he has been able to find
and serve with summons to appear.

When the Jenkins and Horne buildings
had become enveloped in the conf1a-

with heavy columns of smoke were
sent 200 feet into the air. The glare
of the flames could be seen for miles,
and the streets for blocks around were

AS soon as the fire attacked these
buildings several streams of water
were turned on them, but the water
had no more effect than If 1t was not
an extinguisher. The flames from the
burning oil in the Jenkins building
rolled out against them, and in five
minutes the two beautiful Horne build
ings were burning briskly
The freGnen then left the jenkins
building to it's fate and used their unit
ed and desperate efforts to save the
Horne buildings. All the streams Of
water that could be summoned were
turned on these buildings, but they
were now one mass of fire. The fire de-
partment then turned their attention
to the surrounding buildings, but the
raging flames rapidly ate their way to

Demetrius Ralli, the Greciaa hero Of the
hour, is by far the greatest man In Athens
today. He has supplanted M Delyannis as
premier, and his counsels are more respected
himself. The truth is that Ralli, suddenly
arisen to power in the feverish feeling that
now prevails in Greece stands first and
foremost with the people, and 1t is said that
palace itself Ralli is the man to whom all
Greece is looking at the present time to re-

lie sentiment. In the first place 10 advised
rebuilding Of the army SO as to continue
the war; next he advised strict discipline
to maintain internal order SO that the war
might be continued. All this met with the
approval of the people. Next he declared that
the people had been betrayed at Larissa,
which also met with popular approval and
then he declared that strict home govern
ment was necessary and that the Greeks
must prepare for desperate home struggle,
which in every sense is perfectly true.
Ralli does not propose, as he says. to lead
the people of Greece, but to let the people
Of Greece lead him. He declares he shall be
guided by the dictates of Hellenism. and says
that when Hellenism demands change of
ministers he is ready to comply. M. Ralli

est fire that has visited this city since
the memorable one of 1845 started
shortly after midnight in the immense
wholesale grocery establishment Of
Thomas c. Jenkins, on Penn avenue
and Liberty street, and at 2:30 o'clock
was still burning fiercely Three large
blocks extending from Liberty to Penn
avenue and from Fifth street to Sixth
ruins, and while the fire Is now be-
lieved to have spent it's fury it is not
yet under control. The loss will ex-
ceed $2,OOO,0O0, and is well covered by
insurance. Among the buildings de-
stroyed are Jenkins wholesale grocery
establishment, Horne's six-story dry
goods establishment, Horne's office
building, the Duquesne theater and the
Methodist Book Concern.
The fire started in the cellar of the
Jenkins building in a pile of barrels
filled with waste paper. The flames
were discovered by Watchman William
Hunter while making his rounds on the
third floor. He had smelled smoke
earlier in the evening, but believed that
it came from the outside and had paid
no attention to it. The flames had
leaped rapidly up the elevator shaft
and he made vain effort to extinguish
the fire with buckets of water. An
air draft used to ventilate the great
building famed the flames, and he
/. found it impossible to do anything. He
made his escape from the building with
great difficulty. because Of the immense
volume of smoke.
The alarm was turned in about the
same time by Officer Milton Bailey,
who noticed smoke issuing through the
windows.
AID FROM ALLEGHENY.
The fire made rapid headway after it
had started and by 1890 o'clock flames
began to pour out the Penn avenue
front. All the fire departments of the
city and Allegheny were summoned,
and the firemen fought bravely to check
the progress of the confagration. The
fire, however, attacked the immense
quantity of barreled OIL sugar, molasses
and flour that this building contained,
and by 1915 o'clock the Penn avenue
and Liberty avenue fronts were one
mass Of flames. The fire ate it's way
SO rapidly that the flremen narrowly
filled Penn avenue completely and shot
into the air 200 feet or more, presenting
one Of the most magnificent sights seen
for years. The splendid building of
Joseph Horne & Co., opposite, caught
and the firemen worked desperately to
prevent it's loss. At o'clock the Horne
roof and the flames had communicated
to Horne's immense office building adj
joining The structure was of stone
and also six stories in height. 1t was
occupied by w. P. Brier & Co., china
dealers, Bon Marche Glove company,

and they were quickly followed by the

soiled in the dirt, while her face and
hands were badly cut. The woman was
at once taken in a patrol wagon to the
central .ation for convenience of medi-
cal attendance and the full extent of
her injuries will then be ascertained.
It was ascertained, at least tenta-
lively by the officers at Margaret
street, that the young woman's name
the corner of Sixth and Pine streets.
Beyond that nothing is as yet known
as to her antecedents or her where
abouts during the evening.
The police not having Hayden's ad-
dress, were at loss to find him when
the rig was discovered, and some spec
ulation as to his identity is INDUCED
in.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the rig in which the man Needham was
found was the same one which was
stolen from Hayden, during the even
ing, but what the nature of the adven-
ture in which the girl seems to have
been, either as a willing or as an in
voluntary participant, has not as yet
been divulged. No extended inquisition
was made of the woman while at the
Margaret street station. but full in
quiry will be made at the central.
At the central station the woman
gave her name as Margaret Lamb,
living at 468 East Fifth street. She is
the same woman who attained some
notoriety in connection with the Cur
lin murder at Lake Elmo last summer
She says she was out, and had been
riding with the brother of Needham,
and that he got into the buggy and
drove her to the scene of last nights
affair against her protests. The exact
extent of her injuries had not been
learned at the time of going to press.
