Text of the Cuban Inquiry Resolution
Adopted by the House

WASHINGTON, Feb. H. - Considerable
unnecessary excitement was caused among
tho members of the House to-day by the
rumor broadly circulated before the House
convened that important action relative to
Cuba was to be taken. Each Republican
member had been summoned to be present
1t turned out to be simply a resolution of
inquiry unanimously reported by the for
egn affairs committee last week calling on
the State Department for information as
to the condition of the reconcentrados in
Cuba end the progress made in Spain's eff
fort TO induce the Cubans to accept auton-
omy. The summoning of the Republican
members was a precaution to prevent possi-
bic amendment OF the resolution by the
minority The galleries were crowded
Among those in the gallery was Senior Que
sada and several other Cubans connected
with the Jurto. The resolution was adopt
ed without division. Another resolution was
adopted calling for the correspondence re-
lating TO the exclusion of our fruits, beef
and horses from Germany. The remainder
of the day was devoted to District of Co.
lumbia business.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal at noon, Mr.. Royse (Rep.. Ind.) pre-
sented the unanimous report of committee

Oregon sailed from her dock in this city
at 1880 o'clock to-day, carrying some six
hundred passengers and as much freight as
it was possible to place aboard. The
steamer proceeded to the mouth of the river
without accident. When just about to cross
out smoke was discovered coming from the
stored. The alarm was Immediately
given, but it was some time before the po-
sition of the blaze was ascertained Mean
while the passengers had learned of the fire,
and for a time there was CONSERVATION.
The steamer was twenty miles from suit

the situation dawned upon the fortune seek
GERS of the Oregon alone were cool, and
went among the frightened passengers, as
suring them that the fire would be extin-
guished without damage to their property.
The excitement then subsided and the crew
was better enabled to work at the bUnkers.
The fire was at the bottom of the coal, and
it was necessary to put back to port. The
steamer arrived at her dock at p. M, and
the work of unloading the coal commenced.
The fire was caused by spontaneous COM
bustion. Tho damage is very slight and

KILLED BY LIFTS"
Three Men Crushed to Death at New
York and Two More Injured.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Three men were
instantly killed and two seriously injured
one of them so seriously that he will die
in this city to-day by accidents in elevators.
Those killed are: John Degnan, a laborer
at the Hotel Waldorf Oscar Westberg
aged twenty-four, assistant janitor of the
Walton building on Fifth avenue; William
Ochs. aged twenty-five, a driver for an ex-
press company. James Foley and Thomas
Locney are the injured Foley is not likely
to recover. The accident in which Degnan
met his death and Looney and Foley were
injured occurred at the Waldorf Hotel. The
men were taking ashes from the cellar on
a freight elevator when two of the four
chains on the elevator broke and the men
were thrown TO the subcellar, three stories
below Westberg met his death in almost
exactly the same way that Mrs. Arthur C.
Levy was killed at the Holland House YES
terday. Westberg was alone in the car in
the Walton building. While making an
ascent his head presumably came in con-
tact with the second floor. He was thrown
to the bottom of the elevator, which, as ii
rose, crushed his head against the project
ing floor. Ochs was waiting for the elevator
on the eighth floor of the building at No.
5& Broadway. The gate was open and Ochs
was looking down the shaft. The elevator
descended more rapidly than he expected.
his head was caught and he was almost
decapitated

LABOR CHEAPER In SOUTH.
Dividends from Georgia Mills, but
None from Lowell Plant.

BOSTON, Feb. 1.-THE annual meeting
of the Massachusetts cotton mills, of
Lowell, was held to-day at the office OF the
treasurer. The annual meeting of the
Massachusetts, mills, of Georgia, was also
held. Reports on the years business of the
two mills stated that the mills In Lowell
had suffered from the depressed condition
of the cotton goods market and low prices,
which were below what many classes of
goods could be produced for under the rate
of wages obtaining in Massachusetts. On
the other hand the plant in Georgia max
ing goods similar to those made in Lowell
and obtaining the same prices had been
able to return fair profit. owing to the
lower cost of manufacture, due to cheaper
wages, longer hours, lower taxation and
lower cost of power. Influenced by these re-
suits the following vote was passed unani-
mously by the stockholders. In view OF the
fact that certain products of the Massachu-
setts cotton mill at Lowell can be pro-
duced at the mill in Lindale Ga, for
lower cost than they can be produced at
Lowell it was therefore voted that the di-
rectors be instructed to consider the possi-
bility of an extension of the business in
Georgia and report thereon at some future
meeting of the corporation.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. 1.-THE steamer
Islander brings news that the steamer
Clara Nevada, of Seattle. was burned in
Lynn canal and forty men, who were on
board, are supposed to have perished. The
Nevada left Skaguay for Juneau on Feb. 5
and when the Islander, which arrived from
Comox this morning, reached Juneau the
Nevada had not arrived there. The day
that she should have reached Juneau fire
was seen on the waters of the canal and
the opinion is general that the flames were
from a burning steamer. Whether the pas
sengers and crew reached land or whether
they perished is not known. 1t is feared
they met with death, as there has been a
terrible wind and snowstorm in the north
and small boats could hardly live. Captain
Irving, of the Islander. reports that the
weather has been terrific.
The Clara Nevada was formerly the Hos
Ter, which was built at Camden, N. j., in
1872, for the United States coast and geo.
detic survey service. Last summer she
was condemned by the government for the
reason that she was out of date and sold
to the Pacific and Alaska Transportation
Company, which had her thoroughly over
hauled before placing her the Alaska
line. She was considered perfectly sea-

democratic nominee for the leyis-
lature, at a political gathering at
that place. The decd was COM
mitted in n general row between

crat, and Bill Bagley, ex shoriff
of the county and the popuIlst
nominee for the legislature. Mr.
Adams had just made an address
in the interest of his candidacy

the latter, at which he became
enraged, jumped from the veranda
of the store from which he was
speaking and knocked the negro
down. MIR Adams, the murdered
man, was a bystander at the time
the melie began. Shots were
fired and the well directed bullet
of one of the participants, whose
identity is unknown, took effect
in a vital part of Mr. Adams

\ peculiar circumstance is the
fact that no one except Mr. Adams,
