Mr. Chase of Portland offered
an amendment whose effect
would be TO remove from the

ported this amendment in long
speech and was followed by Mr.. Burns
of Westbrook who defended the resolve
as reported and explained why sucn
action as desirable. Mr.. Webb of Port
land supported Mr.. Chase's amendment.

upon his minority report on the bill

The majority report, signed by nine
members, was Legislation ineXpedi-
ent," but Mr.. Walker made minority
report in favor of cutting off this 10
years appropriation for the. six years
of the term remaining after 1900. His
attempt to substitute this for the ma

gin of Portland, on constitutional
grounds, and was opposed by Messrs.

1t was a very busy afternoon and the
decks We're well cleared when the ad
journment was made. The closing fea-
ture of the day was the offering by Mr.
Weed of Monticello of resolutions of re-
spect to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Prince of Yarmouth. Mr.. Fogg
of Freeport, delivered we'll prepared
and appreciative eulogy of the late
member, who was SO well known and
so much esteemed by all. 1t was $50
and after when this was reached so
that nearly all the spectators and many
of the members had departed. The oc
casion and the eulogy deserved more
been present. When the House ad-
journed at 6.45, it was as a mark of re-
spect to the memory of Capt. Prince.
The morning session, today. will open
at o'clock. This means that a deter
mined effort will be made to close up
all the work and adjourn sine die. this
afternoon or evening. There are quite
a number of measures yet to be dis
posed of, and several fights to settle.
but there is lots of time between A.
NJ and midnight. However. Satur-
day session is probable. Then. at the
latest, good by to the 69th Legislature.

FATAL HOTEL FIRE.
Three Guests Smothered and Five
Others Seriously Injured.

Three Guests smothered and Five
others Seriously Injured.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 8.-A fire
which broke out In the Hotel R1chelieu
at 3:15 this morning resulted in
property loss of only about $4,000, but
three lives were lost and five people
badly hurt. The dead are:
AMOS LANDS, Grapeville. Pa.
GEORGE A. WATERS, Camden, N. j.
MRS. CATHERINE BOYLE. pittsburg.
The three victims were guests Of the
hotel and all were suffocated by the
dense smoke.
The fire originated on the second floor
from an explosion Of gas, and in few
minutes the building was a mass of
flames and binding smoke. The noise
OF the explosion woke most of the
guests, about twenty-five in number,
and frantic fight for life ensued.
Robert N. Thompson, of Kalaska.
Mich, a salesman for the Cadillac
Lumber company, was the means Of
saving at least six lives. In the 1irst
moments after the explosion he rushed
into the hallway Of the second floor
and tumbled over the unconscious form
of woman, whom he dragged into the
reception room. Five others, two men
and three women who had been turned
back from the stairway by the flames,
were shrieking and fighting for some
exit. Thompson forced them all into
the big room and locked the door.
Knowing that it meant death to so into
the hall, he fought the desperate men
back until the arrival of the firemen,
when all We're rescued.

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Jan. s.-Four
dead, two injured, one of these perhaps
fatally, and the loss of property of the
Southern railway to the amount of
about $4,000 is the result of a wreck,
which occurred this morning on the
Knoxville & Ohio branch of the South
ern railway, a mile. west of Elk Valley.
The dead are:

The Injured: Engfneer Goff, badly cut and
bruised; Fireman Hnskissou badly burned

Maxey. Reedy, Hoover and Dillon
were burned to death or killed under
the ruins Of three engines and a num-
her of cars and coaches Of the two
wrecked trains
This morning at II o'clock a double
header freight train crashed into a
mixed local train when both were run
ming at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
The engines met head ON, the force Of
the impact being terrible The mem
bers of the crews were unable to es-
cape by jumping. All the freight trains
on the division had been notified that
the passenger train was fifteen minutes
late, and the only cause for the disas-
ter that can be giEen is that Engineer
MaXey, of the freight train, misread
his orders. Immediately after the
crash the wreck caught fire. This city
sent fire engine, which soon had the
fire under control. The passenger train
carried about twenty passengers, none
of whom were injured

Weeks on "a South Atlantic Island.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Capt R. R.
Shaw and the crew of ten of the British
bark Glen Huntley, given up for lost.

For 154 days the eleven sailormen lived
on Tristan d'Acunha island, more than
1900 miles south by west of the Cape
of Good Hope. They subsisted on pen
guin eggs and the flesh of sea eaglets,
and shared with the seventy-two white
Inhabitants the scanty stock of pro-
visions that the captain of a passing
vessel could spare. After almost four
months of such existence the British
warship Thrush, making an annual
voyage of inspection through the South
Atlantic, rescued the castaways, and
late in November landed them in ST.
mons bay, South Africa.

SO far as the officials are willing to
admit, the dispatch shows no material
change in the conditions existing at
the time of previous advices. One
cabinet officer tonight said it contained
nothing of a character alarming. Sc
rious or exciting. There had been no
collision with the insurgents, he add
ed, and not shot had been fired. The
dispatch, however, is believed to have
been of sufficient Importance to he
brought to the immediate attention Of
the president and later Secretary Al
ger.
Secretary Long and the president
were in conference at the White house
this afternoon, presumably on this
matter. The presidents proclamation
had been published in Manila, but Gen.
Otis did not say to what extent it had
been made known to the Inhabitants
of the other islands of the group, Eor
whether it had been published at Iioi-
10. Gen. Miller has been ordered to
land the troops under his command
now on the transports there, but the
