HEROIC POLICEMEN
Save the Lives of Twelve Persons
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 5-To the heroism
of Chicago policemen twelve persons
owe the fact that they are alive to-
day. Seven of them were rescued
from a burning building at the rear of
go West Twelfth street at midnight
last night, and about the same hour
the ether five were carried from a
burning cottage at the rear of IS Lib
erty street. In the latter case a mother
and her four small children were un-
conscious from the smoke.
officers Buckley, Hall and Fitzgerald
of the Maxwell-street station broke in
the door of the Liberty street cottage
and found Mrs. Louise Older and her
four little ones overcome by the fumes.
The woman was taken to the hospital,
where she recovered consciousness, but
could not be pacified until her children
were shown to her alive and also re-
covered The fire caused but slight
damage, despite the dense smoke which
resulted.
Officers Alden and Fay of the Max
well-street station saw flames issuing
from Benjamin Spiro's confectionery
stand at 263 West Twelfth street. and
they rang in an alarm. When they re-
turned the flames had spread to X.
Ishams jewelry store at 265. The Off
GERS broke down the door of the store
and, running to the apartment they
knew the family was sleeping in,
aroused Isham and his wife. They
were in a condition of stupor and were
unable to help the officers with the
children. Each officer seized two of
the little ones and carried them to the
fresh air, where they were revived
Isham staggered around in a dazed
condition and was showed forward by
the officers SO that he found the way
to the street officer Alden seized Mrs.
Isham and carried her in a semi-con-
scious condition from the store and
was followed by Fay and Schmidt with
the two remaining children. The dam
age by the fire was trifing.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
A Movement to Bring the Question
Up in the House.

CHICAGO, March ia special to
the Tribune" from Washington SAYS
There is to be an immediate revival
of Hawaiian annexation talk, and this
time the movement originates in the
House. The desire on the part of the
House to take up the Hawaiian ques-
ton has led to an extraordinary agree
ment, by means of which annexation
will be discussed at length during the
nominal consideration Of the Postoffice
appropriation bill, Chairman Loud hav-
ing consented to yield an abundance of
time for this purpose. Two Republic
ans-Adams of Pennsylvania and
TaWney of Minnesota, and one Demo-
crat, Williams of Mississippi-ha
been given time to speak, and will i'm
prove the opportunity by making rat
Ting addresses on the subject
Adams and Williams are both mem
bers Of the Foreign Affairs Committee
which will have the consideration of
the annexation resolution when it
comes up in the House, and Tawney
visited the islands last summer and is
overf1owing with personal information
in regard to their commercial and poll
tical value to the United States.

That is the gentleman's privilege,
under the rules" said Boutelle.
Il object to the latter remark" said
Loud, and ask that it be stricken from
the record"
1t was finally arranged. by unani-
nous consent, that the bin should be
considered as soon as the Postoffice
appropriation bill was out of the way.
IMMIGRATION BILL.
Danford (R.) Of Ohio, Chairman of
the Committee on Immigration, called
attention to the fact that he had given
notice some time ago that he would to-
day call up the immigration bill. He
asked what the parliamentary status
Of the bill was, and the Speaker in
formed him that it was on the Speak
er's table. and could be called up at any
time when privileged matter was not
before the House
POSTOFFICE BILL.
On motion of Loud, the House then
went into Committee of the Whole and
took up the Postoffice appropriation
bill.
Loud. in charge of the BILL explained
it's provisions briefly. 1t carries SJS,-
962 800, being 1858, ,391 less than the
estimates, and s., ,296, ,962 more than
the appropriations for the current year.
Bromwell (R) of Ohio made an ex-
tended speech against the appropriation
for special mail facilities from Boston
to New Orleans.
COTTON INDUSTRY.
The general debate was not confined
to the subject in the bill.
Griggs CD of Georgia contributed
some remarks upon the mooted ques-
ton of the relative advantages pos
sessed by the cotton manufacturers OF
the North and South, to prove that the
advantages possessed by the latter
were not due to the longer hours of
labor of their operatives. He predicted
that the South in the near future would
manufacture, as we'll as grow, the cot
ton crop of>the world. He warned New
England that she must abandon the in
dustry
Griggs criticised some utterances OF
Speaker Reed and Dingley, and ere
ated much enthusiasm on the Demo-
cratic side
At the conclusion of his speech an
arrangement was made to close the de-
bate at 3 o'clock tomorrow
Walker of Massa chusetts said it was
happy day for the Republic when a
Southern member arose on the floor
and spoke of the great industries of
the South in competition with those OF
the North. 1t was a day he had been
waiting for since the Pilgrims landed.
No section would rejoice more that the
South had entered the lists than New
England

petition temporarily" said he, 1--WE may
have to reduce wages temporarily; we
may have to lose some departments of
our industry permanently. but we glory
in this Southern competition, because
it shows that cementing of the common
country we love so Well" (Applause. J
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Tawney (R.) of Minnesota then got
the floor and replied to speech de-
livered by Johnson (R) of Indiana
several weeks ago against the annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian Islands. Tawney
said:

think active investigation should be
deferred, in order to permit the ad-
ministration full opportunity to press
its own investigation through the Ma
val Board of Inquiry.
After the decision was reached not
to go on with the inquiry to the ex
tent of summoning witnesses, it was
suggested that steps should be taken
by the committee to secure from the
Navy Department all information in
its possession, and the suggestion was
adopted.
1t is said that the postponement was
secured by Senator McEnery joining
with the Republicans, and that Sena-
tor Chandler voted with the opposition
for an immediate investigation

HOMICIDE AT WASHINGTON.
Dennis J. Canty Shoots and Kills
George S. Rye.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Dennis
j. Canty formerly a clerk in the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and later
a partner with. Herman Van Sender,
Private Secretary to Secretary Carlisle
in the late administration, in the stock
and grain business. to-day shot and
killed George S. Rye, a speculator,
whose home is in the West, in front
of the Ebbitt House, on F street. near
Fourteenth.
1t is assumed that the killing grew
out of some stock transactions, and
perhaps may have been caused by the
failure several months ago of Canty
& Van Senden.
The firm was not a member of the
Stock Exchange, but did a considerable
business among the smaller class OF
spectators.

Secretary Long Disapproves OF the
Courts Findings,

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Lieuten-
ant Commander James D. Adams, at
tached to the coast defense ship Mon
terey at Mare Island, California, was
acquitted recently by general court
martial of the charge of drunkenness
on duty Secretary Long being of the
opinion that the circumstances of the
case as disclosed by the evidence,
justified a different conclusion, issued
an order to-day disappearing the find
ings of the court, and administering a
sharp reprimand. Inasmueh, however,
as the findings of the court are bind
ing on the department, the officer has
been released from arrest and restored
to duty. The common law rule that

III the House to-day, is out of the way.

bill was demanded by public sentiment
all over the country. He said there
