ARMY INCREASE PROBABLE
Legislation to This End Is
Deemed Necessary by the
Administration.
Questions Arising as a Result
Of the War Not Likely to
Be Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The curtain
rang up at noon upon the closing session
of the Fifty-ffth congress. The war
and the fruits of the American victory
carry in their wake many problems
which the national Legislators must
solve. But though many questions may
press for solution the brief space cov-
cred by this session, which expires by
limitation March 4, precludes the proba-
bility of much being accomplished be-
yond the passage of the regular money
budgets, the legislation for the increase
of the regular army, which the
Administration Deems Necessary
to meet the obligations imposed upon
the country by the result of the war,
and probably the enactment of law to
give a permanent territorial govern
ment to the Hawaiian islands. This
covers all the important legislation
which the congressional leaders expect
to see enacted at this session. 1t is al
most the unanimous sentiment of the
members that no attempt should be
made to legislate concerning the posses
sions acquired through the war with
Spain at this session.
There are earnest advocates of the
Nicaraguan canal who will arrive to
secure its passage now, and they
May Possibly BE Successful,
but neither it or any one Of the meas
ures like the pooling bill, anti-scalpers'
bill, ETC., which have strong friends,
will be allowed to interfere with the
bills, the passage of which have been
deemed absolutely necessary to prevent
an extra session. The leaders at both
ends OF the Capitol have put their heads
together and the work of the session is
to be entered upon with the idea of
avoiding an extra session. With this
purpose in view the appropriation bills
are to be given the road at both ends of
the Capitol and pressed through with
all possible haste.

Colonial Indebtedness.
MADRID, Dec. 5.-The government
has not reached full decision regard
ing the Philippine debt, but the Official
Gazette publishes an announcement
that the drawing for the redemption of
the Cuban bonds will occur on Dec. 10.
The speculation in the Cuban and
Philippine debts on the bourse has seri-
ously displeased the cabinet. The rise
in those securities is attributed to the
report that the government will devote
the indemnity received from the United
States to the colonial indebtedness, re.
garding which no decisive steps have
been taken by the ministers.

LOSS IS FULLY A MILLION
Rogers-Peet, Home Life and
Postal Telegraph Company
the Sufferers.
Desperate Efforts to Save VAL
liable Papers Prove Of
Little Avail.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-In binding
rain storm the massive block of build
ings on Broadway, 253 to 259, and in
cluded between Murray and Warren
streets, was almost destroyed by fire.
Within three hours more than 81 ,00O, 900
worth of property was destroyed.
The fire began in the 5-story brick
building occupied by the mems furnish
ing firm of Rogers, Peet & Co., ON the
southwest corner of Broadway and
Warren streets. Adjoining the Rogers
Peet building and south of it was the
magnificent white building of the Home
Life Insurance company, IA stories, and
next to this was the brown stone build
ing of the Postal Telegraph company,
20 stories, erected at a cost of millions
only few years ago. Within few
minutes after the discovery of the fire
the Rogers-Peet building was roaring
furnace and an alarm had been turned
in which brought
More Than Score of Engines
to the scene. 1t was but short time
when the flames had eaten through the
wall of the Home Life and were roaring
high above that lofty structure. Thou
sands of people had gathered on the
scene and the binding glare of the
flames lit up the lower part of the city.
Even in the downpour the great crowds
of people grew and the police reserves
1nl OF o,,I
kept the people back for blocks. Great
showers of sparks were carried in all
directions by the gale that blew 60
miles an hour. 1t was picturesque
fire. The Home Life Insurance build
ing was occupied by that company and
large number of prominent men in
various lines of business. Every effort
was made to
Save the Valuable Papers
stored in some of the Offices but many of
these were lost. The Offices of the rapid
transit commission were on the ninth
floor Of this building and it is believed
that all the plans and schemes of work
with which the commission have been
working this many years have been de-
stroyed. In the Postal building as we'll
there were many serious losses Of pri-
vate nature and when the flames reached
the operating room of this structure,
which they did within the three hours
of the outbreak, the one or two solitary
operators who remained at their posts
were compelled to flee for their lives,
leaving unsent messages at the keys.
The fire burned even more fiercely in
the Home Life building
Owing to the Great Height
of this structure and in an incredibly
short time the upper half of thismagnifi-
cent building was in flames. The water
towers in the street were only able to
throw their heavy streams into the
lower part of the structure, and the
firemen, though they worked with great
bravery and untiring energy in the
binding smoke and heat, could do lit
tie in the face of such a fierce sweep of
fame and gale. 1t was only question
of time when the Postal building, so far
as the upper stories were concerned,
went the way of the others.
The estimate of the losses by Chief
Bonner was 81 200, 900, with probable
ity of a still further loss.
