New York. Jan. 2-Six members of one
in fire that occurred early this morn
ing in Jersey City.
The dead are: Adolph Reich, A years
old, the father; Emma Reich, AZ years,
mother; Tillie Reich. % years: Ida
Reich, Is years; Albert Reich, IA years;
Gustave Reich, years.
Several others were injured, and it
may be that another member of the i'll
fated family will die He is the 19-year-
old son. and his body is covered with
burns.
John Conway. chief of the Jersey
City fire department, was very badly
burned. He fell through a burning
floor, and was rescued with difficulty.
Henry Reich, II years old, managed to
make his way from the house, with bad
burns on the neck, face and hands, but
he is not seriously injured.
Adolph Reich's home was 81 German
avenue, near the Hudson county boule-
ward, in the Hudson City district. He
was a real estate agent and well to do,
living in a pleasant house of three
stories.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
1t is believed the fire broke out from
a heater in the basement and worked
its way up to the third floor, where the
sleeping apartments of the family We're
located.
Henry Reich said it was late when
the family retired. the evening having
been spent in entertaining New Years
callers. Early in the morning he was
awakened by shouts.
Running into the hall. he saw the
smoke and flames in the lower hall.

aged to get out of the house in their
night clothes. Young Reich ran down
the steps and gave the alarm. When he
returned his father was nowhere to be
seen, but one of his brothers, Sigmund,
was there, badly burned. He was taken
to a neighbOring house, where he said
that some one had awakened him and
that he had jumped through the blind
ing smoke and started down the stair
case and out into the open air.
DISCLOSED BY THE LANTERN.
Several engine companies responded
promptly to the alarm, and in a few
minutes the fire was out. Then began
the search of the house. The rays of
the lanterns disclosed three charred
bodies against the wall at the foot Of
the stairs. They were those of AdOlph
Reich. his daughter, Tillie and his son,
lite Gustave. The father had fallen
upon the daughter, and his son was in
his arms. They were burned almost
beyond recognition.
In the basement of the house, the
searching party stumbled over the re-
mains of Ida and Albert, two black
ened cOrpses, with arms intertwined.
Portions of the limbs had been entirely
burned away, and the faces were horri-
bly, distorted.
The mother was found in the dining
room. She was but slightly burned.
Her face showed no look of pain. She
undoubtedly died from SuffOcation.
The bodies were sent to the morgue.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WRECK.
CAR INSPECTOR THOMPSON AND
BRAKEMAN CAIN INJURED.
Brakes On a Freight Refused to Work
Near Terrace and the Train Crash
ed Into Other Cars.
Especial to The Herald. }

Ogden, Utah, Jan. "A serious
wreck occurred on the Southern Pa
cific near Terrace yesterday morning,
resulting in the injury of Vane Thomp-
son, chief car inspector at Terrace,
and a brakeman named Cain. Thomp-
son was returning to Terrace on the
west bound freight train from Matlin,
where he had put damaged car in
shape When approaching Terrace on
the down grade the air brakes refused
to work and the engineer whistled for
the hand brakes. The train was to
sidetrack at Terrace and the switch
had been thrown. The brakes set by
hand were insufficient to check the
train and it run on over the siding and
crashed into some other cars and
engines, cars, coal sheds, rails and ties
were jumbled up in a heap. The en-
gineer and fireman saw the danger and
were able to escape unhurt. Thomp-
son, who was in a car, received quite
serious injuries. Cain was hurt about
the head, but his injuries are said to
be not so serious as those of Thomp-
son. The engineer was A. S. Huiley of
ogden, the fireman A. F. Mullen and
the conductor Fred Luty.
The injured men were brought to
ogden yesterday afternoon by special
train and Thompson was taken to the
hospital. 1t is stated that his injuries
will not prove fatal.

SOlOnS VIII Meet Together at Wash
ingtOn on Wednesday.
FORECAST OF THE HOUSE
ONE WEEK FOR DEBATE ON
CIVIL SERVICE QUESTION.
Debate Intended For a General Air
ing Of Views and No Practical
Effects viii Result-Prospects
For Hawaii In the Senate-Wol-
colts Explanation.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The time of the
house this week, after it meets. on
Wednesday, will probably be entirely
devoted to the debate on the civil ser
vice question BY general consent, the
appropriation in the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial bill for the mainte-
nance Of the commission upon which
the debate will be based, went over I'M
til after the holidays. 1t is intended by
the opponents of the civil service law
that the debate shall cover the whole
question, and they expect to develop
and exploit some very interesting facts.
The defenders of the law have made
elaborate preparations to meet these
assaults, and some interesting, If not
sensational, incidents are anticipated.
The records of individuals are likely to
be very much in evidence.
It is not expected that the debate will
be concluded this week, as Saturday
has been set aside for paying tribute to
the memory of the late Representative
Wright of Massachusetts,. General
Grosvenor of Ohio, who has been one
of the mainstays of the opposition to
the law, is very DESTROYS of participant
ing in the debate, but owing to the SEN
atorial fight now in progress III Ohio,
he will probably not be able to return
until next week. 1t is not believed that
there will be any attempt to close the
debate before he has had an opportunity
to make the elaborate speech which he
has prepared. No one seriously believes,
however, that the upshot of the pres
ent debate Will be the striking out of
the appropriation for the commission.
This proposition cannot by any means
command the full strength of the oppo-
sition, the leaders of which think direct
legislation should be enacted to repeal
or radically amend the law. The de-
bate, therefore, will simply be in the
nature of a general airing of views of
the members of the house, the only
practical effect of which will be to
place them on record for the future.
SENATE FORECAST.
The prevailing opinion among SEN
ators is that very little legislation will
be attempted during the present week
The fact that congress will not recon-
vene until Wednesday will probably be
taken by the abSentees that nothing
will be attempted until the following
week, and as g. consequence, it is doubt
full whether there will be a quorum
present in the senate on Wednesday, in
which event there will probably be an
early adjournment, and then an adj
journment until Monday. In any event,
it is not probable that any important
questions will be raised during the
present week.
The general understanding is, how
ever, that the work of the session will
begin in real earnest after this week,
and that hencefOrth there will be no
justification of the complaint of dull
ness of the proceedings.
QUESTIONS OF MOMENT.
Among the questions which will en-

vote would stand SO for BoxweI, SO
for Mason and three scattering and
there would be deadlock on organiza-
ton. The Democratic steering COM
mittee was busy all night looking after
the unpledged members.
All who would sign the pledge roll
were induced to do so. The Hanna
men express no confidence in ma
jority for Boxwell, but say they ex-
pect to elect him by not having ma
jority of votes for any candidate.
The opposition tonight claim the de-
feat of both BoXwell and Hanna. They
claim they will organize the senate
and house tomorrow.
Mayor McKisson, Allen o. Myers
and all at the joint headquarters ex-
press the same opinion. Governor
Bushnell was also of the same belief
and he stated that the defeat of the
BoXwel ticket in the house and of
Hanna for senator would not have any
effect on the party. He thought the
party would do as well with any other
good Republican in the senate. He
added that Senator Hanna never con-
ferred with him during last years
campaign and that the party would
not tolerate bOSSiSm.,

AN EXCITING RIDE.
Experience of a Theatrical Company
With a Car Afire

w I'LL d OtI A1IS
St. Louis, Jan. "A theatrical company
playing IN Old Kentucky left Kansas
City at midnight last night on a special
train of three coaches over the Wabash
en- route TO st. Louis. An hour after
leaving, the front end of the baggage car
was discovered to be on fire The engineer
crowded on all steam TO make a siding at
Fleming station, ten miles ahead. This
wind famed the flames until they could
be heard above the roar of the flying
train. When the siding was reached the
baggage car was a loss and was left to
burn. The company lost its scenery and
thre valuable horses. Nobody was in
jured and the train of two cars arrived at
the union station this morning.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-03

gage early attention are: The Ha-
waiian annexation question, the claim
Of Mr.. Corbett to a seat in the senate
from Oregon, the immigration and the
financial question. In all probability,
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions will meet during the present week,
and the chances that an early report
on the COrbett case will be ordered are
good, though it may not be favorable.
The Republican side of the chamber
will not be a unit in Mr.. Corbett's in
terest. Senator Burrows of the COM
mittee which has charge of the case,
is preparing an exhaustive speech an
tagonistic to Mr.. Corbett, and the op-
position are counting upon the assist
ance of still others from that side of
the chamber. 1t is not believed that
there will be any serious antagonism
to the immigration bill, but there may
be considerable time consumed in
speeches upon the subject.

voting strength they will change their
policy and take up the question of an
nexation on Senator Morgan's resOlu-
ton to that end. There is no doubt
that a majority of affirmative votes can
be secured and that u resolution of this
character can be passed if vote can
be reached.
NOT LOST HOPE.
The present indications are that the
treaty as such will fail of ratification
by from two to six votes. but friends
of the agreement have by no means
lost hope that they will succeed in Sc
curing the entire so votes necessary to
ratify. They claim that they have been
making Roadway in securing votes dur
ing the recess and are hopeful of still
adding to the number. They now as
sert that a solid vote may be expected
from the Republican side of the cham
Der and that several Democrats who
have been claimed by the opposition
are now on the fence and liable to come
to them The circumstance which has
done most to improve the chances OF
the treaty is the conduct of the Eu-
ropean powers in apparently preparing
for the partition of China. Many SEN
atorS feel that this is an event which
calls for prompt action on the part of
and there is no denying that this view
has made some impression upon SEN
ators who have heretofore been classed
as doubtful.
WOLCOTT'S EXPLANATION.
The promised explanation by Senator
WoIcott of the result of his bimetallic
mission to Europe is expected, when
made, to open up the discussion of the
attitude of the administration on the
silver question, and the debate may
even be sprung in advance of his
speech. The pronounced free silver
advocates are determined to secure a
test vote during the session on the sill
yer question, and Senator Teller has
decided to introduce the Stanley Mat
thews resolution of the 45th congress,
declaring for the payment of bonds in
silver, with this end in view.
Senator Wolcott will, in all probable
ity, make a simple, straightforward
statement, avoiding all cotroverted
points as far as possible, but there are
other senators who will not be content
to allow the matter to drop there, and
they will seek to open the entire ques-
ton of the position of the administra-
ton toward international bimetallism.
Mr.. Wolcott does not expect TO be able
to present his statement before the
18th of the month

ANNEXATION TREATY.

1t is probable that Senator Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, vii make an effort during
the present week to get day fixed for
taking up the annexation treaty, and
there is no apprehension of any objec-
ton to naming a day in the early flu
ture. The plan of the supporters of the
treaty is to take the question up in
legislative session on a resolution of
ratification and to debate the treaty
for a few days in executive session,
pursuing this course long enough to de-
termine their strength and commit
those who profess to be with them. If
they find that they have the necessary
two-thirds to secure ratification, they
will press on to the end, but if they
discover themselves to be deficient in
