Whether Speaker Reed intended to
stir up the democrats of the House by
his selections to fill the vacancies on
the House committees we cannot say,
but that his action has stirred them up
is certain, especially his putting Bailey
of Texas, on the committee on Rules
and Boatner, of Louisiana, on the com
mittee on Ways and Means.

mia, in Il "leave-to-print' speech in the
Congressional Record, on Representa-
tive johnson, of the same state. 1t
was all in connection with the Pacific
Railroad funding bill, which to the
surprise of many was so badly defeated
by the House. In speech fayoring
that bill Mr.. johnson made 4 very Bit
ter personal attack upon w. Il. Hearst
accusing him of unprintable things in
unprintable language. Representative
Cooper ofWisconsin, at the time accused
Mr.. johnson of cowardice for attacking
a man who was not present, and Mr..
Mcguire seconded the accusation in his
printed speech and added slurs about
Mr.. Johnson having criminal record
at his old Syracuse IN. W home.
When Mr., Johnson arose in the House
to reply to Mcguire it was easy to see
that he was excited terribly. He began
by saying: "It is just as we'll for me to
face this matter now as later, and meet
the cowardly insinuations made against
me at the dictation of William +.
Hearst. 1t is true that thirty years
ago ! was in trouble in New York:
that ] was indicted; that | went to
California to rear new home and live
down the past but it is untrue that |
went under an assumed name" Moth
ing could have been more pathetic than
the story of his struggles to regain a
good name, told in a voice shaking
with emotion, but there was a ring of
triumph in his voice when he told of
the victory won and how "by the bles-
sings of God and the help of my good
wife / was at last able to pay back
every dollar | owed" and the House
gave him a spontaneous round of ap.
plause. OF his charges against Hearst
he said: Every charge l made is cap
able of proof. do not shelter myself
behind my Constitutional privilege
Everything say as member of Con-
gress ] am responsible for as citizen,
personally and financially. OF the
charge of cowardice against him he
said: IF either the gentleman from
Wisconsin Cooper or the gentleman
from California (Maguire) thinks l am
cowardly, let either repeat to me out
side this chamber what he has said in
side, and his curiosity will be appeased." l."
The House showed where its sympathy
was by ordering Maguire'a speech
stricken from the Record and by refus-
ing to strike out Johnson's speech

AT this weeks meeting of the Senate
committee on Foreign Relations moth
ing was said about Senator Camerou's
Cuban resolution, and that gentleman
is still out of town Senator Mills
made q speech on his Cuban resolution
and Senator Bacon also advocated its
adoption in a set speech, but neither
attracted more than passing attention
either in or out of Congress, which is
good evidence that the Cuban excite
ment has all died out, not from lack of
interest, but because of the belief that
nothing will be done at this session.

FIRE RAGING ON 1oNG ISLAND.
Several Houses and Hundreds of Cords of
 Wood Destroyed.

Patchogue, l.. l., March 31.-One of the most destructive forest fires which have ever visited Long Island is now raging at Rocky Point. The fire has al ready burned over eight square miles of the most valuable woodland in that section. Many houses and barns are known to have gone up in the flames. The fire started about noon yesterday and was swept along with tremendous force by the gale. It originated from a brush fire, started by a gang of boom CTS clearing their little settlement near Rocky Point,
 The men themselves narrowly escap- ed being caught in the flames. Twenty men started from Yaphank and Middle Island when the fire caught the woods, and they were quickly reinforced by men from surrounding Villages, but their efforts were of no avail against the flames, which spread with remark able rapidity.
 Dr. Van Horns handsome residence at Middle Island and Robert Randalrs country seat were destroyed Hundreds of cords of wood already cut were burn ed. Every effort is being made to stop the flames.

PRISONER 4 oELLAR.
Remarkable Story Told by New Britain
 Woman to the New York Police.

New York, March 31.-Mrs. Julia Blanchard, who says she resides in New Britain, Conn.,, in the Jefferson Market police court to-day charged James Clarey, of No. 11S West 26th street with having kept her a prisoner in a cellar for twelve days. She said she was piled with whiskey and drugs. robbed of her iewelry and forced to submit to indignities.
 According to her story she came from New Britain week ago Tuesday and with friends attended the Eden Musee and spent the night in 8 hotel on Sixth avenue The next morning she went out to find a district messenger office on 18th street Her search proved futile and she entered Clarey's shop to ob tain directions as to where she could find a messenger office.
 Clarey promised to summon a boy, and while she was waiting gave her q glass of milk and then some brandy and water. She became dizzy and Clarey called woman whom he introduced as his wife and told her to take Mrs. Blanchard to a room where the latter could stay until she recovered from her indisposition. From that time she was kept a prisoner until last night when she escaped.
 Mrs. Blanchard claimed that her jew elry was worth S495 She admitted that she gave an assumed name. She said she had been divorced from her hus- band.
 C1arey was arrested and in the police court admitted that the woman had been at his place, but said she was not a prisoner He had taken the jewelry, he said, as security for her board. His bill for twelve days was s7.50 per day, and S4 for extras. Magistrate Crane held Clarey for examination.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Professor 4. N. Wheeler's Lecture Before
 Phi Beta Kappa.

Professor A. M. Wheeler last evening found an unusually large student audi ence present at the College street hall to listen to his masterly discussion of the Eastern question.
 Professor Wheeler said he had not come to solve the Eastern question The newspapers have given the impress sion that this is a conflict Of creeds. Professor Wheeler took the still broad CT view that it was a conflict of civiliza- tions. In brief but lucid summary, he recounted the history of the conflict between the eastern and western civil izations. In the fourth century the east invaded the west. and were only stopped after bloody conflict by Charles Martel at Tours. The west in turn invaded the east in the crusades and still later the tables were turned and the Turk crossed the Bosphorus and approached even to the confines of Austria. But gradually the Turks have been driven back. From the eighteenth century Russia has borne the great re- polling force. Not for love of Chris tianity, nor for love of humanity, but that when the "sick man. died she might have the lions share of the SnOils

COMMISSIONER CHANT HOME.
He Sat With the Hoard of Public Works
 Last Evening.

He Sat With the Hoard of Public Works
 Last Evening.
 The members of the board of public works were agreeably surprised last evening when Commissioner George M. Grant, who has been on an extended visit to the Pacific coast, walked into the room and took his place at the ta- ble. When greetings and congratula tions had been extended the board set tied down to work.
 The first business was concerning Ar gyle street, which was referred back to the court of common council last week. Commissioner States moved to rescind the former vote and to adopt the fol- lowing:
 That the board report to the com mon council a layout of fifty feet, and that the grade be ordered at once"
 The motion was seconded by Commis- sioner Kegelmeyer who said that the matter was one of great importance to the Winchester Arms company, which had considerable property unprotected from fire in the vicinity. The motion passed unanimously.
 Superintendent Ives reported that the stone crusher at Westyille and the port able crusher for the street work, as we'll as the road roller, were in condition to use The Westville crusher will be started next Monday for the purpose of preparing material for new streets.
 A motion was made by Commissioner States directing Superintendent of Streets Ives to top-dress Arch, Rosette and Cain streets and Winthrop avenue, in compliance with the order of the court of common council.
 This motion was amended by Com mission McGann referring the proposed work to the committee on streets with power to order such work completed as the department has funds to carry out. The amendment was carried.
 The attention of the board was called by Sidewalk Inspector Brennan to the fact that there were a large number of uncompleted orders for sidewalks, and he asked the board to fix a time when all the work now under way should be completed.
 Commissioner McGann remarked that probably the board would cease to exist by August 1, and he would suggest that day as the time when all the work now under way should be completed. The motion of Commissioner McGann was unanimously adopted.
 James Gallagher of No 51 Monroe street applied for an appointment as section boss to take charge of a gang of men employed on the streets. The application was filed.
 Concerning the statement reputed to have been made by Inspector Pigott, charging the commissioners, and par ticularly James E. McGann, with inter- fering with the work on the new Grand avenue bridge, the commissioners said there was no foundation for the state ropntS

POUGHKEEPSTE OUT OF TT,
Probability is That the Big College Race
 Will Take Place at New London

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, March 31.- Chairman w. F. Booth of the local regatta committee, said to-day that the committee decided to withdraw the of- fer which it had made for the college boat races. He said that the college authorities had had the matter under consideration for some time and as they had not accepted it, but showed a dis position to put the races up at auction to the highest bidder. he felt that pub lie sentiment would not sustain the committee in holding out the offer any longer.
 This action on the part of the local regatta committee probably means that the great triangular varsity race between Yale, Harvard and Cornell. which is to take place next June, will be rowed on the Thames course at New London.

NEWSPAPER OFFICE WRECKED
By Burglars in Attempting to Blow Open

By Burglars in Attempting to Blow Open
 a Safe.
 Charlotte, N C., Jan. 2-The Observer building sustained disastrous loss by fire tonight, the result of an explosion in the office of the business manager of the job department on the second floor. The explosion was the work of safe robbers, who attempted to blow open the safe in that office. The paper stock in the room was instantly ignited and the fire spread with such -rapidity that the men in the ewspaperaeomposing rooms barely had time to get out, losing their coats, hats and other effects. e.
 . The second, floor was wholly, and the third partially gutted. A new book bindery plant had just been put in on the second floor. and this was entirely de- stroyed, and all the presses were more or less burned, besides the loss of a s3,000 stock of paper. r
 The Observers battery of Mer.en- thaler typesetting machines was swept by the fire, belts burning off and the keyboards smoltered. The loss is fully covered by insurance. The police claim to have a clew to the safe blowers. The combination knob and its outer works were blown from the safe and the hinges were missing, but the door withstood the shock.
 The Observer will appear in the morn ing as usual. sF.f5so sstf
