Claims Stay Of Execution is Not Valid in
Case of Foreign Cr. ditors.

new insolvency law was raised by Attor-
ney George 4. Brown In the Appellate
Court today. Mr.. Brown is attorney for
Rellog 81 McDougail Of Buffalo who OBJ
tanned jucgm mt and execution egainst
Charles X. Sweet who, on Saturday last.
filed voluntary petition in insolvency.
in the Appellate Court. The stock of
goods was To have been sold under the
evnution last Saturday but after the
pet tion was filed an order staying the sale
as obtained.
Mr.. Brown asked TO have the stay
taken off. claiming that the statute pro-
viding for the STAYING of execution In in-
solvency only applied where the discharge
In insolvency could be pleaded to the suit,
Kelly & McDougsl 1t was argued, were
non sidents and the statute concerning
wera residents Of this state or who be-
came parties to the insolvency proceed
ings by filing claims
There was no probability that the hold
ers OF the execution in the present case
would flle proof Of claim, Mr.. Brown
urg,d, and they were entitled 10 have the
b,i eft Of their execution.
4 ILomas Il. Mcdonnell said that IL Mr.
Frown's contention was right the foreign
or ditors would get all OF a debtors assets.
Mr. brown relorted that II the Legisla
ture had not looked cat for local creditors
his clients were not to blame. The court
held the case for advisement.

FIRE PANIC IN A THEATER.
Butte Audience Started Rush for
the Doors.

Butte, Jan. IA fire, supposed to be
of incendiary origin, broke out in the Bos-
ton dry goods store, in the Odd Fellows
building on Broadway, adjoining the Ma
guire opera house, about 8 o'clock last
night.
Before the fire was extinguished the
stock was practically a total loss. 1t was
insured for $25 900, which is believed to
be the full value. The dense smoke pen
etrated to the upper part of the building,
where Thomas Steet, a paralytic, and his
family, lived. They were rescued with diff
iculty.
Smoke also penetrated to the opera
house, where "Under the Dome" was be
ing given. AS Manager Hagan started for
the stage to advise the audience to with
draw quietly, some one rushed into the
gallery and gave an alarm. There was a
rush for the doors and some women faint
ed and were slightly trampled. No one
was seriously hurt. The attaches of the
theater acted with great GOODNESS, and
this probably prevented a more serious
disaster The play was not ended.

ADVERSE TO CORBETT.
Senate Committee Follow Precedent
in the Mantle Case.

| Washington, Jan. l5-The senate com
mittee on privileges and elections has de-
cided to make an adverse report on II. W.
Corbett's claim to a seat in the senate
from Oregon. The vote was to 3. on
(rep.) J, who was absent, was counted, upon
his authority, in oposition to Corbett.
There were two votes, the first being
upon the motion to declare Mr.. Corbett
entitled to his seat, which was supported
bv Messrs Chandler, Hoar and Pritchard
(rep), and opposed by Messrs. Gallery
and Pettus (dem.), Allen (pOp.), and Bur
rows (rep.) of Michigan. Senator Spooner
was puaired with Senator Turpie, the for
mer for and the latter against the motion
The motion was then made to declare
Mr.. Corbett not entitled to his seat, and
was carried by the above vote reversed
The voting was preceded by quite gen
eral discussion, based upon the report pre-
pared by Senator Pettus on behalf OF the
opposition. This report took the position
that the question involved is practically
the same as that involved in the Mantle
case. and this case should be allowed to
stand as precedent. Senator Pettus made
an argument in favor of establishing
principle of action in such cases and al
lowing it to stand, taking the position
that there was danger in not taking the
same course every time the political com
pleXion of the senate changes.

CONDITIONS OF CHINAs LOAN.

With Certain Safeguards.

London. Jan. lS.-The Pekin correspon-

Yesterday Sunday Sir Charles Claude
Macdonald, British ambassador to China.
in the course of an interview with the
Tsung Ii Yamen (board of foreign con
troll, stated that England was willing TO
assist China to liquidate the japanese in
demnity and would provide a loan of fl2,-
000,0 at par, to run for 30 years, the in
terest to be per cent net, including sink
ing fund. The conditions are AS follows;
First The opening of the three treaty
ports, the fallen Wan, SiangIn and Nan
Ming, thereby increasing the customs rev.
enues. Second A declaration that no
portion of the Yang Use Kiang valley shall
be coded to any other power. Third: The
right to extend the Burmah railway
through Human province (the most south
western part of China).
In the event of her default China is to
place certain revenues under the control
of the imperial customs On this basis the
negotiations will proceed China regards
them as advantageous, but fears the
threatened opposition of France and Rus
STA, and especially to the opening of Ia
lien-Wan and Manning.
The Times, commenting on the report,
suggests that Siang-In, which the CORE
spondent describes as in Human, is tele-
graphic error and means either Slang
Yang, in Hu-Poi province, or Slang Tang,
in Human province.
