Lynn, Mass, Jan. 24.-The great An

touched upon by Bishop William Law
renee in his sermon at st. Stephens Me-
borial church (EpiscopaD here today, at
ter his confirmation. He said:
I'VE are this month rejoicing in a re-

the poets LAY sung of the days when
nations shall settle their disputes, not by
force of arms, but by reasoning and mu-
tual forbearance. Here and there some
great statesman and his fellows have
caught a glimpse of the light of national
brotherhood, but he could not lead the
poet to see it as he did. Sentimentalists
have uttered their vagaries and true SEN
timents nave spoken with clear notes.
The idea of arbitration between nations
has been spurned as visionary, impractic-
al. not in harmony with human nature.
We have been told that mans passions
must break for some time; that only by
war can chivalry and sacrifice and patti
ence be sustained. even now we hear
some UGH wild talk, but these voices are
drowned in the great acclaim of welcome
to this harbinger of peace, whether the
present treaty is ratified or not is of I'M.

treaty has been seriously proposed an(

THE SUNDAY SESSION AT SALEM
Purely IA erfunctor Matter-Mitch-
ell Not Sure of His Ground.

Salem, Or, Jan. 24.-Seyen members an
sWered the roll call at the Sunday session
of the Davis house tonight. The session
was purely perfunctory, and after a few
minutes wait the house adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow.
The close of the two days recess shows
no change in the hard fight over the reso-
luton to notify the governor. Senator
Mitchell has remained in Salem With most
of his iieutenantS and has been actively in
tefviewing senator's. To pass the resolu-
ton it is absolutely necessary to have 10
besides Brownell, who is sick. Mitchell
had not obtained them Friday, and there
is no apparent change in the situation to-
night. If the resolution comes up III the
senate tomorrow afternoon, and il prob
ably will, the prospect is that it will be
beaten. But the vote is known to be ex-
ceedingly close, and no predictions can be
made with assurance hat it will be veri-
fled.

not certain that all the populists would

there are six such, and possibly seven.

PosTMAsTERs ARE NOT CONFIRMED.
Likelihood That Eleventh Hour APP
pointees VIII BE Left Out.

Washington, Jan. M.-The present IN
cumbents of the postmasterships at
Montpelier and Silver City, Idaho. which
recently became presidential offices, oW-
ing to the increase in the amount of
business done there, are not likely to
have their hopes of receiving presiden-
tial commissions realized. The president
acted promptly enough, and sent their
names at once to the senate, but the
nominations have been hung up in the
committee on postoffices and postroads,
and there seems to be a very small proc
ability of confirmation between this and
the 4th of March.
Senator Wolcott, the chairman of the
committee, has gone to England on a
bimetallic goose chase, and several 9TH
er members Of the committee are away
from Washington on various personal
matters. For some time a quorum of
the committee has been lacking, and
even with a quorum present the general
feeling seems to be to wait for Mr.. VOL
colt to call the committee together.
Even if he returns before the 4th of
March, it is probable he will be too busy
With monetary matters to consider SO trl-
vial an affair as the calling together
of a committee which has for its sole
object the confirmation of democratic APP
pointees for misunderstanding.
Certainly strong opposition exists
among the republican senators to con-
tirming any of the eleventh hour APP
pointees Of Mr.. Cleveland, thereby rem
| dering it impossible to fill these offices
with republicans for practically another
four years. Fully 800 nominations OF
presidential postmasters are now pending
in the senate committee on postoffiees
| and postroads.
If they are not confirmed, President
Mckinley, when he enters the White
house, can without any necessity for re-
moval appoint their successors, and he
senate will Undoubtedly confirm them
the next day. No civil service formali-
ties will have to be gone through with in
connection with these appointments, and
from present appearances, it will be vel
for those presidential appointees who are
now waiting for confirmation to pack u
their traps and get ready to move very
shortly after the 4th of March.

General Weyler has received his bap-

all the inhabitants should leave their
homes within two hours. The village be-
ing deserted, the torch was applied, and
all the houses, about 300 In number, were
destroyed.
The captain general then proceeded TO-

the road to Guines. Copaste was reached
after nightfall, and a corps of guides was

Weyler, with the main Spanish column

A STOVE FACTORY DESTROYED
Water Was Slow In Coming Because
OF Frozen Nyurnnts.

Chicago, Jan. "a. - The Northwestern
Stove Repair ~Company's factory at Nos.
225 to 22S Twelfth street was destroyed by
fire tonight. When the fire engines ar
rived it was oun that the water in every
plug in the neighborhood had been frozen
and Is minutes elapsed before a stream
could be brought to bear on the flames.
During this time the fire spread with such
.rapidity that the residents in the vicinity
of the fire began to move their household
effects out of their homes. Finally, when
the water had been turned on, the flames
enveloped the building. The firemen, how
ever, kept the fire confined to the stove
factory. The damage lone to adjoining
buildings was entirely by water.
The Northwestern Stove Repair Com
pany is owned by Robert L. and Ralph S.
Greenlee. They place the damage on the
contents of their establishment at $500, 600
and on the building al $125, 900. The exact
