the plaza where the conflagration oc- cured, and hundreds of horsemen and bicyclistS rode with the department from the station to the fire. After the fire was extinguished the crowds gath cred on Washington street to witness the further exhibitions giveA by the department. Some difficulty was ex- perienced in handling the crowds by the officers. There was considerable excitement and the people were bound to see every movement made. The off cers were finally compelled to stretch ropes to keep the crowds back.
 At 10 o'clock in the morning the streets were cleared for another gal loping parade by the cowboys and they entered heartily into the sport. They were given permission to do the thing up right and as the world has learned to know the cowboy as we'll by his six shooter as his big sombrero and spurs the visitors were not surprised when the long line of broncho busters charged like rough riders firing right and left. It was a typical illus tration of sports on the range and was greatly enjoyed.
 The next event was an exhibition iduueI CllIlDlIlS peIIOrmance- The ldC- derS were run up on the Heyman build ing and some good work was done by the members of the hook and ladder company. This was followed by a water test between the Pioneer hose cart and horses and a team from the department under Captain William Evans. The run was made by each for 300 feet. 15O feet of hose laid and water turned on.
 The horses made the distance first and the water was turned on in thirty seconds from the time the signal for the start was given. The hose team, which was composed of picked run ners of the fire department, made record of thirty-two seconds. It was fine exhibition and the firemen added to their laurels for fast work. The praise of the multitude was given them and it was well worth the long wait to see.
 Following this the department kept open house all afternoon and evening, serving beer, sandwiches and other ed- ibles to all visiting firemen and their friends. Every stranger that entered was introduced and made to deliver a short speech, all of which added to the jollity of the occasion.

MIR. QUAY'S APPOINTMENT
Question of Seating Him Occupying
 the Attention of Senators.

Washington, Dec. 7.-The question of i MT. Quay's appointment by the gov ernor of Pennsylvania to a seat in the United States senate in the absence of action by the legislature of Pennsyl- vania is occupying a great deal of at tention among senators. While sena- torial action on this class of questions is in favor of not seating a governors s appointees to the senate, yet the case is regarded as an open one, and the records of senators on former cases is not generally regarded as necessarily an indication of how they will vote on the question of MT. Quay's admission. Every case of this class differs in some detail from every other case, and as the vote is on the general qualification of the senator to his seat, senators feel free to exercise their judgment in view of all the circumstances in the case. There is no disguising the fact that there is very general feeling that MT. Quay is likely to receive far more fla vorable consideration because of his ! long connection with the senate and because there are political reasons that will induce republicans to vote for him if they can find any reasonable excuse for doing so.
 There were features of the Corbett case which make it fail as a criterion 1 Ion, xH-lir fa Nf hn vote on MT. Quay's case. In that case the vote was 19 to 50 against seating MT. Corbett. The vote was as follows:
 Against seating MT. Corbett-Yeas: Allen. Bacon, Bate, Berry. Burrows, Butler. Caffery. Carter. Chiffon. Clay. Cockrell, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Faulk- ner, Gallinger, German, Gray, Hall, Heitfeld Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada. Kenney. Lindsay. Mcbride, 1 McMillan, Mallory, Martin, Mills, Mitchell, Money, Nelson, Pasco. Pen rose, Pettigrew, Pettus, Platt of Con necticut, Rawlins, Roach, Shoup, Stew art, Teller, Thurston, Tillman, Turely. Turpie, Vest, Warren, Wellington.
 In favor of seating Mir. Corbett: AL drich, Allison, Baker, Fairbanks, For aker, Frye, Hanna, Hansbrough, flaw ley, Hoar, Lodge, Mantle, Mason, Nor Till. Perkins. Sewell. Turner, Wetmore. Wilson.
 | If MT. Quay is seated, the case will | doubtless be accepted as a precedent for seating gubernatorial appointees. although the senate might refuse ad- mission to some one else because of some difference in the case. California and Utah, with republican governors, and Delaware with a democratic gov ernor, lack representation of one sena- tor in the United States senate be- cause of the failure of the legislature to elect, and in case MT. Quay is seat | ed the governors of these states will undoubtedly make appointments, pro vided action is taken before the legis- lature of those states meet again.

THE SENATE SESSION.

Washington, Dec. 7.- The routine proceedings of the senate today were enlivened by a cOlloquy between Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire and MT. Hale of Maine over a bill introduced by the former to promote athletic sports at the military academy at West Point and the naval academy at An napolis Both senators became face tious and at times sarcastic over the growth of athletics at American col leges. and MT Chandler advanced the proposition that the cultivation of such sports as foot ball and similar sports at the government academy ought to be given the sanction of law. The senate will hold no further sessions until Monday.
 Mir. Harris introduced i'll the senate joint resolution providing for the 1inl- itation of the time for which a presi- dent shall be. elected to one term of six years and making the terms Of mem- bers of the house four years.

STIRRING NEWS
Early Important Happenings in South
 Africa.

London, Dec. 7.-General Buffers ar rival at Frere is held to indicate that all preparations for an advance to the relief of Ladysmith are complete and that stirring news will soon be re- ceived.
 The fact that Lord Methuen is an nounced as resuming his command at almost the same moment is interpreted in some quarters to mean that battles will be fought simultaneously in Natal and at Spytfontein. It appears doubt full, however. whether General Me thuen's force is yet ready for what will evidently be a heavy encounter.

I ask the American people to stop and think what that may mean to this country in times of high political excitement and party strife and passion

TO ANNEX CUBA IN THE END
The Ultimate Intention of the Ad'
 ministration.

Washington, Dec. 7.-President Me KinIey has two distinct policies in re- gard to Cuba One, intended for the people of Cuba, is the policy of grant ing autonomy and independence to the people of the island. The other is not intended for general circulation This is the policy of annexation. eventually, the absolute ownership of the island, it's resources and control of government as a territorial annex to the United States. The president personally fla vors the continuance of the quasi-mil- itary government under the auspices of the United States until such time as it may be deemed expedient to submit the question to the Cuban people. By General John R. Brooke. the military governor general of the island, and the four commanders of the military de- partments of the island have made re- ports giving their reasons for favoring one or the other form of government.
 With only one exception the military commanders have reported that in their judgment the people of Cuba are not and will not be for many years capable of governing themselves. Their sentiment is for annexation.
 The exception is General Fitzhugh Lee. military commander of Pinar del Rio and Havana provinces. Some lead ing Cubans in Havana and Mantanzas hold to the belief that General Lud- low, who commands the department of Havana city, is favorable to in dependence. The view entertained in Washington by the president and his advisers, and based upon verbal re- ports from General Ludlow, is di- rectly opposite-for annexation. The policy of benevolent assimila- tion'' which he is to apply to the peo- tion and education does not contem- plate the appointment to office of agi- tators who are leaders in the Cuban army. The plain people will be weaned from the influence of their old leaders.
 It is settled, generally. that the force of United States troops will be materially reduced within the next two or three months. General Woods plan, as it is understood by the presi- dent and the members of his cabinet, favors the withdrawal of all the troops in the island, with the exception of one squadron of cavalry in each province and augmentation of this force with a squadron of native cavalry.
 Senor Quesada, the Cuban repre- sentative at this capital, was at the White House today. He complimented the president on the wise report of Secretary Root.
 "The report will have good influence in Cuba" he said. ''The declaration in the report that the Cubans will be left to settle their own future was es- pecially pleasing he said. All of which would seem to show that Senor Quesada, in the pure and undefiled yer nacular of the west, doesn't know much"
