DANGEROUS GASOLINE
Destructive Fire In an Alabama CITY
Causes CONSERVATION For a Time.

DcStruCtlSc ElTS HI Ah my
Causes CONSERVATION For a Time.
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2I.-The ex-
plosion Of a gasoline stove In the
basement of the Metropolitan hotel
yesterday afternoon, was followed by
q fire which burned that building and
the Hewlett block, adjoining, caus-
ing a loss Of about 100000. The in
surance amounts to about three
fourths of the loss. After two hours
hard work by the remen the flames
were beyond control and fearing the
entire block, including the Potter
buildings and the Morris hotel would
be swept away, a telegram was SEN
y Montgomery asking for aid. An
hour later, however, the fire was un-
der control and the request for help
from Montgomery was countermand-
ed. Everything IN Twelfth street
from First to Morris avenue is a
wreck, but a strong fire wall back of
the Hewlett building and the Metro
politan hotel prevented the fire from
extending any further in that direc-
ton. The Berney bank recovered all
its books, money and fixtures from its
: building and a company OF mifftia wns
called out to guard the coin and kept
back the crowd. A number of guests
in the Metropolitan narrowly escaped.

cur? 1t ought to be a subject OF re-
joicing that the political contentious
of these times are in such strong
contrast to those of a century ago.
History is certainly not being re-
peated in this respect.
1t is difficult at this day to under
stand the feeling which prompted
the deliberate and persistent attempt
to overthrow this first administra-
ton of our government, the trial
administration under the constitu-
ton, indeed the test of the constitu-
ton itself. It's failure would have
destroyed all hope of a permanent
union and a successful republic. The
administration should have been sus-
tanned even if its errors were many
and great. 1t should have been re-
membered it was a test of man $
capacity for self government under a
republican constitution, and it should
not have been forgotten that there
were no precedents to guide its ac-
ton, for there had been nothing in
all the past like the government just
organized; nothing in ancient or
Lmoasrp times with which it could be
compared. It was then fRe pas~iu%.~
duty of every liberty loving citizen
to rally to its support, that a govern
ment by the people should be sus-
tanned and given a fair and friendly
trial.
But Washington's mistakes were
neither many nor great. Consider
ing the difficulties which confronted
him, and the dangers which sur
rounded him from whitman without,
seldom, if ever, has greater wisdom
or sounder judgment been displayed
in government, than was shown by
| the first President of this republic.
| The furious opposition, which so un-
ceasingly assaulted him, was neither
wise nor patriotic and vas entirely
without excuse or reasonable pretext.
The triumph of Washington over this
opposition saved the republic and
gave greater proof of genius as a
statesman, than the greatest vic
/ tories in the field of war ever gained
for him as a general. Great as he
was in the camp he was far greater
in the cabinet.

Although Wall street is somewhat
impressed with the belief that the ex-

a decided impetus to speculation. there

this idea.

UPPER HOUSE
The Seating of a Quay Taken
Up For consideration.

Washington, Feb. 24-Yesterday's
session of the senate was unusually
interesting from the very beginning.
In spite of vigorous d influential op-
position, Mr.. Penrose of Pennsylvania
succeeded in getting the Quay case be
fore the senate and during the after
noon three notable speeches were de
livered.
After a sharp parliamentary SQUAD
BILE. Mr.. Penrose moved that the reso-
luton involving the seating of Mr..
Quay be taken up for consideration.
On an y and no vote the motion
prevailed, 81 to %. The majority was
SO decisive as TO cause some surprise
1t is known that some senator's who
will vote. if the opportunity be offered
to seat Mr.. Quay, yesterday voted
against consideration of the case,
while on the contrary, others who
voted for consideration, probably will
vote against seating him. The vote,
therefore, can not be regarded as
quite a test Of Mr.. Quay's absolute
strength in the senate. Following the
taking up of the resolution, Mr.. Dan
lei (Dem., Va delivered a speech in
which he vigorously supported Mr..
Quay's right to a seat.
Mr.. Vest Dem, MOI and Mr.. EOr-
timer
speeches aneht the Hawaiian govern
ment bill. Both were constitutional
arguments, Mr.. Foraker's being a re-
ply to that of Mr.. Vest.
At the night session Mr.. Sulzer On.
" vigorously opposed the bill. as un-
warranted and unconstitutional and
against the rights of the Porto Ricans
and the policy and traditions of this
country.
THE road to Imperialism" he said.
"is a hard road to travel under the
constitution. We want no Porto Rican
stepdaughter in the Union. but n
grand galaxy of sister states enjoying
equal rights and equal prerogatives
under the constitution"
The others who spoke were White
On. c.. for the bill: and Messrs. Lloyd
fMo9, Little (Ark.1. w. E. Williams
tIlls-l, Burnett lAla.), Stark (Neb).
Ryan and Green pa. DAILY On. j.,
and Gilbert (Ky.) against h bill. AT
9.SJ the house adjourned.
