FIRE AND FROZEN WATER PLUGS.
Cost Chicago Stove Repair Firm tho
Whole of Its stock.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-The Northwestern
Stove Repair company's factory was
entirely destroyed by fire last night.
When the fire engines arrived il was
found that the water i'm every fire plug
in the neighborhood had been frozen,
and fifteen 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 water had been
turned on, the flames enveloped the en-
tire building. The firemen, however,
kept the fire confined To the stove fac
tory. The damage done TO adjoining
buildings was entirely by water.
The Northwestern Stove Repair COM

on the contents of their establishment
at 100000. and on the building
at $l25.000 The exact amount of insur-

Treasury PortfoiJo-Aiso His Political
Aniiixtiops-A New Candidate.
Chicago, Jan. 25.--Ex Governor Alt
geld was given complimentary ban
quet at the fremont House Saturday
and in the cause Of his speech made
statements which II they are true with
the conclusions he draws therefrom in
dicate that there Is a lot Of work for
the ballot reformer yet TO do In these
United States. Said statements and
conclusions also would seem To indicate
that the Australian ballot law, instead
Of being a perfect humanity speaking
bar against fraud is a wide-open gate
through which IL Is dead easy" TO drive
whole professions OF frauds. In brief he
claimed that Ohio. Illinois. Indiana
Kentucky and California were carried
for Mckinley by the most outrageous
fraud that was ever attempted in the
United States-that's about the size of
his charges.
Declares Ohio Carried ny Bryan.
In the course OF his speech he said:
I'm Ohio there were nearly 200. 900 more
votes counted In 1896 than there was in
1892, which would indicate an increase
of population In that state during the
four years Of very nearly million peo-
pie. whereas in reality there has not
been an increase OF third OF a million
in that time. In other words
IL Is clear that In Ohio over
$4,000 fraudulent votes were counted
and as returns show that Mckinley had
only majority of $4,000 in that state II
is certain that Bryan carried Ohio by
over 10000. In Illinois in 1892 practically
ly every legal vote was cast. yet In 1896
there were 243,000 more votes counted
than in 1892. During the whole of the
past history OF Illinois our population
past history of Illinois our poulation
had not reached 100000. In the ten
years from 1880 TO 1890. during which
our growth was greatest, the popula-
ton of the state increased only about
$50, 900.
Says IL shows MOnstrOus Frauds.
Yet. according to the late election re-
turns. the population of this state has in
creased In four years-from 1892 to 1896
nearly 100000. This shows the mon
strously fraudulent character of tn
whole proceeding. 1t should be said
that, Notwithstanding these fraudulent
votes. Mckinley did carry Illinois, but
only by a small majority. But II is
certain that he did not carry Ohio, or
Indiana, or Kentucky, or California,
and IL is doubtful II he carried a number
OF other states credited to him." An
other claim the ex-governor made was
that the vote for Mckinley included the
negroes, the ignorant foreigners and the
plutocrats. while the real bone and
sinew of the American people and of
real American institutions voted for
Bryan.

"Wednesday. The time of the senate aft
er o'clock today will be devoted TO
eulogies upon the late Speaker Crisp.
and the time previous TO that hour aft
er the disposal OF the routine morning
business will be consumed by Turpie in
q speech discussing the Cameron reso-
luton. IT is known that Senator Tur-
pie will take radical ground favorable
to Cuban recognition, and II is limited
that he will take occasion to criticise
Olney's position sharply.
Bill for a Monetary Conference.
Turpie's speech may prove TO be the
first OF several on the Cuban question.
but the committee on foreign relations
Is manifesting no disposition to press
the resolutions to a vote. Tomorrow
Chandler expects to secure vote on his
bill providing for the representation Of
this country at an international monetary
conference. There will be several short
speeches and more or less running de-
bate on the measure, but il is believed
that all substitutes and amendments
will be voted down and the bill passed
before the close of the day set for it's
consideration. Cameron has a substi-
tute requiring the government to take
the initiative in calling a conference.
which may give the movers of the
original bill more or less trouble.
Has Morgan Changed His Position?
Morgan will make a strenuous effort
10 prevent the Nicaragua canal bill
from losing it's place as the unfinished
business on the calendar. and ii is un-
derstood will submit amendments which
will meet the demands % those who
hold that the bill requires further work
by committee i'm view OF the new posi-
ton of Nicaragua as developed by
Senior RodrigueZs letter. Which would
seem 10 indicate that Morgan is not SO
bellgerent now as he was Friday when
the Rodriguez letter was announced in
the senate, when he wanted this min
lister to send his statement back to
his government"
Feature of the House Programme.
The most interesting feature of the
house programme for the coming week,
unless the Nicaragua canal bill should
receive consideration (Which in view of
the recent complications seems entire
ly imprObable). will be the fight against
the conference report on the immigration
bill. Bartholdt of Missouri. who made
an Intellectual attempt TO prevent the
bill from going to conference, Will lead
the opposition TO the bill as agreed on
by the conferrees. There seems to be lit
tie doubt that the friends of the measure
will be triumphant in the end. as the
sentiment in favor of an immigration
bill i'm the house Is, as shown by the
votes on previous occasions. in a strong
majority. Nevertheless Bartholdt pro-
poses 10 do all In his power To defeat the
conference report.
