EIGHT VICTIMS OF FIRE.

CONFEDERATION Mt Spokane, Wash. With
Terribly Fatal Results,
Spokane, Wash, Jan 2S.--Eight lives,
and probably nine, were lost Monday
night in the fire in the Great Eastern
block They were: Miss Alice Wilson,
aged IS, employed as 4 hat trimmer;
Maud Wilson. a sister of Alice, aged
s years; Miss Rose Smith, aged 20; Mrs.
II. G. Davies, an elderly lady from
Nebraska City, Neb.; W. B. Gordon, 4
mining engineer; Mrs. Cora Peters and
daughters Ethel and Alma, aged and
years, respectively.
1t is also thought that Mrs. Peters
son Charles. aged IL years, persisted,
but there are reports that he was saved
and taken into custody by relatives.
Mrs. Davies was living with her
daughter Mrs. J. r. Pronger. They had
rooms on the fifth floor, and were cut
off from the stairway and fire escape.
The fremen failed in their efforts to
raise life ladders to the fifth story ow-
ing to a tangle of the electric light and
telephone wires. Mr.. Pronger caught
two large wires running up the outer
wall Of the building. He crawled down
these to the fourth story and managed
to catch the top of the swaying ladder
He descended to the ground and was
followed back up the ladder by a fire.
man carrying a light ladder on his
shoulder. This was connected to the
large ladder. Mrs. PrOnger caught it
and made it fast to the outer end, and
she descended in safety. Meanwhile
Mrs. Davies had tried to follow Mrs.
Pronger, but in the dense smoke she
missed the ladder and fell to the stone
pavement. She vas 70 years of age.

OPPOSED TO DAWES PLAN,
Managers of deiphla's Failed
Bank State Their Objections.

Bank State Their Objections.
Philadelphia, Jan. 26-Messrs. Earle
and Cook the managers Of the plan
proposed for the voluntary liquidation
of the suspended Chestnut Street Ma
tional bank and the Chestnut Street
Trust and Savings Fund company, last
night issued a statement announcing
that unless the circular issued yester-
day by the comptroller Of the currency
shall be modified they will abandon the
plan and proceed solely under the as
signmcnt. They declare that the first
amendment submitted by him is unim-
portant, because the danger he points
out is provided against.
The other three amendments, the
statement indicates proves the stumb-
ling block. In the nrst Of these the
comptroller requires that the directors
tine panK siiuil noio themselves per
sonally liable to the trustee, In favor
Of the banks creditors, for all liabilities
incurred by them under the law. The
third requirement makes 1t necessary
for the trustee to enter into similar
obligation with each stakeholder Of the
bank to the extent Of his individual
liability rs stakeholder. These two
requirements, in the belief Of Messrs.
Earle and Cook, require to be done
that which in all human probability will
be impossible.
The fourth provision, the statement
continues, lis fatal" Messrs. Earle and
Cook say the comptroller In effect an,
nounCes: II will give the managers
Is days more TO obtain the additional
assents necessary, but I now announce
to those who have heretofore refused
to assent that if they will h Id out ]
will insist upon their claims being Sc
cured to them in full, principal and in
terest, in cash"
The managers then say we
have never meant to lend ourselves L"
any unnecessary or unjust preferences.
If We assent to tie fourth requirement
we will do this"

Hon Louis e. rIccomas Senator.

Hon Louis e. l1cComa5 Senator.
The disagreement amongst the Republi-
cans Of Maryland in the Legislature was
settled yesterday by the election Of Judge
McComas to succeed Senator Gormani in
the Senate. The fight has been stubbornly
fought and 1t required some plain talk on
the part Of the Administration to bring
about the election of Judge McComas.
The Baltimore Sun says: The election Of
Hon. Louis E. McComss, of Washington
county to be Senator Of the United States
for six years from the 4th of March, 1893
when the term of Hon. Arthur A. German
will expire, is the logical, natural and, on
the whole, eminently satisfactory result Of
the last three political campaigns which
have been waged in this State. 1t is all
the more satisfactory, because Mr.. McCo-
mas owes his election. not to a corrupt
coalition or combine of Democrats and
Republicans in tho Legislature, but to
clear majority Of his party associates over
the Democratic vote, which was cast con-
sistently AID unanimously for Mr.. Cor
man. Inc election OF Alr. McComas hap
PLY terminates what threatened, appar-
emily at one time, to DO serious obstruc-
tion to the work of the session. 1t clears
the way for necessary and useful lcgisla-
ton. The Republicans have just escaped
great peril. They too, have much to
learn from thu spectacle Of the dissensions
s,tu H.
shameless greed Tor power and its substan-
tial rewards which have come SO near to
making shipwreck Of their party and
s1oiling the fruits Of their repeated vic
tories. Not the least satisfactory feature
In the final result is the singing and
crushing rebuxe the politicians of both
parties who were behind the minority
have received In the election Of Mr.. Me-
COmas
