DEATH BY FIRE.

NEW YORK, March olive persons
were burned to death and three others
dangerously hurt at fire early Sunday
morning in seven story Bowery lodg-
ing house. The fire was first discover
ed shortly after two O'Clock. Smoke
was pouring from the windows of the
fifth floor and the flames were making
rapid progress. The lodging house
was cut up into 1872 rooms and 80 of
these small places were occupied when
the fire broke out.
The Railways were instantly filed
with a crowd of excited people. Po-
licemen forced their way to the upper
floors in an effort to rescue some of the
helpless.
The firemen put out the flames be-
fore much damage had been done to
the building. After the fire was out
search disclosed the bodies of five vic
tins on the fifth floor, where the fire
did much damage.

Senator Ross on the Quay Case.

Having stated at length his interpre-
tation of the law and explained his
views thereon, regarding both the gen =
eral question of filling vacancies in the
Senate, and this particular case OF Mr..
Quay, Senator Ross reaches these con-
illusions as to the meaning of the Con-
stitution:
First That the Legislature shall elect
the Senators for the full term, and fill all
vacancies which happen or exist when it
Is in session and capable of acting.
Second. That it does not assume that
the Legislature will fail to discharge its
duty nor attempt to make provision for
such failure nor does it appoint two agen-
ces to fill the same vacancy.
Third. That the executives power to
make temporary appointments is clearly
confined to supplying for limited time
those vacancies which happen during the
recess Of the Legislature and which the
Legislature has had no opportunity to fill.
Holding these views, should disregard
the oath have taken to support the Con-
stitution il should vote to seat Mr.. Quay.
The people of Vermont will be in
clined to agree with Uncle Jonathan in
the views he expresses, and approve
his judgment and his fidelity to his
oath,

HOLYOKE GIRLS COASTING.
Some Use Drooms, Others Pans, Whi1e
for Some n Single or Less
Sufnces,

This winter the students have found
vent for their superfluous energy in
coasting. The smooth, hard crust Of
snow of last week made coasting with
sleds or without most delightful sport.
The back campus offers a favorable
field for this exercise, as there are prac-
tfcally no trees.
Brooms are the favorite sleds, al
though some of the students have found
pans equally exciting. By peculiar
way of doubling themselves UP the girls
find it an easy matter to ride down hill
on q broom, and, In fact, the sport Is
much enhanced by the unexpected an
ties OF the broom; sometimes 1t viii dig
itself into mound of snow and send
It's rider In mass few yards ahead.
The brooms are especially useful as car
rya1s. A large broom will comfortably
seat two girls, and companion Is In
weighed into dragging them around.
The pack horse generally gets her run
by suddenly splitting the broom riders
To use pan for sled requires moro
skill than to use broom, because the
rider curls her feet'up into the pan and
can only push Off with her hands, some
thing In the manner of a tub race. 10
takes only slight lurch to tip the pan
over, and then the girl tumbles In a
sqealing bunch, while those behind pile
on top of her. Shingles are somewhat
more unsatisfactory, as they are too
apt to leave their rider half way down
the hill, either to go on without any
Gteed, or start all over again. If the
rider has had swift start she generally
prefers 10 go to the bottom of the I'M
cline without the shingle.-Springheld

THE PARIS FIRE.

PARIS, March 9.-Brief reports were
sent out yesterday Of the destruction
by fire of the historic Theatre Francois.
1t was narrow escape from fearful
holocaust. Had the fire broken out
half hour later it would have been a
repetition OF the Opera Comique ca.
tastro phe, as a crowd OF women and
children had already gathered at the
doors awaiting the opening for the
matinee when the alarm was raised.
Had the performance begun few prob
ably would have escaped, owing to the
rapldity with which the flames spread,
settling the fate of the building before
the fremen could even get to work.
The staff of the theatre and several
actors and actr sses had arrived, and
the scene shutters were busily prepar-
ing the stage for the matinee when
passers by perceived smoke curling up
from the windows near the roof. An
alarm was given and men rushed inside
the building shouting "Fre." A gem
eral scramble for the doors ensued
among the staff, and at first it was
thought all had escaped. But it was
found afterward that several persons in
bhO uppOA olOAlOo, lnCluuluB mllbb, 16u-
riot aud Dudlay, had been forgotten.
During the confusion thieves cut sew
eral paintings out of the frames and
got away. In one case. the police &C
tually assisted them under the impress
sion that the thieves were workmen
from the Coincide Franchise.
The actual cause of the outbreak has
not been determined, as the alarm
came from the outside, but the back of
the stage was first consumed, the
scenery burning like finder. Owing to
arrangement of machinery, the iron
curtain could not be lowered and the
auditorium was quickly involved.
The only victim of the fire was Mile
Henriot, beautiful young actress of
nineteen, whose photograph has been
displayed in the shop windows along
the boulevards as type of beauty,
She came of theatrical family and her
mother has been filling an important
role at the theater Antoine.

EBgland's Peril and Defense.

A noticeable circumstance regarding
the effect of Englaud's successes in
South Africa is that the London stock
market refuses to respond to the up
ward impulse important military VIC
tories would naturally give securities.
The reason is found in brooding APP
prehension of the hostility of European
powers, particularly France and Rus
sia. And the latter powers, it is gen.
orally conceded, are restrained from
taking advantage of England's predica-
ment in South Africa by the attitude
of Germany, on whose friendly neu-
trality in war with Great Britain
they are unable to count. Could the
German Emperor be won over to their
side to the extent of promising neu-
trality, the Beers would undoubtedly
find allies speedily. France and Rus
STA come in contact with England in
various parts of the globe,-in India,
Egypt and other parts of Africa. With
respect of these powers the elements
of an "irrepressible conflict" exist in
their purposes in outlying parts of the
earth. The opportunity to strike Eng.
land is when she has her hands full in
South Africa, and when the bulk OF
her military forces are massed there
If the Beers could GO on indefinitely
resisting England, gaining victories
over her armies and tasking her mill
tary strength and resources, France
and Russia could stand complacently
by and see England's power for ag
erosion or resistance broken by thu
wasteful conflict. But if England sub
jugates the Beers within a few months
a vast army seasoned by such terrifi,
warfare as has been waged in Soutl
Africa, would be released for strength
ening her outposts all along her "fa
flung" line of colonial possessions
The golden opportunity to strike will
have passed, and to Germany will b,

every question of policy-like, for ex-
ample, proposition to study the matter
of providing security against possible
annual or semi-annual loss from floods,
rising to $3.50, 900 in the course of one
brief hour recently-would be ripened
off in committee and the natural fruit
of its conclusions presented to the main
body. But in town meeting all these
important matters are pitched into an
arena in which 1000 men are smoking,
talking, standing, sitting, the whole
budget OF business kicked about for an
hour like foot ball on the gridiron.
Finally, matters that would require the
serious attention of wise and expert
enced men, for many days, to deter
mine right-subject only to the in
herent human tendency to err-are
voted up or voted down, often more ac-
cording to the impulses or passions Of
the assembly than to sense or reason.
The average town meeting is very
much of a farce.

A High and Lofty Tumble.

Senator Hoar has been acting his
lifelong role in the opposition he has
made and stirred up against the admin
istration's Philippine policy. He is in
the habit of going off half-cocked, kick
ing up great Robbery, and then facing
right about in support of men and
measures he has violently, and vituper-
atively, opposed.
In 1884 Mr.. Hoar was moving heaven
and earth to defeat the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine for the presidency, He
stoutly charged that Blaine was guilty
OF all the sins in the Mulligan deca-
logne. No honest man could support
for an Office person 80 honey-combed
with corruption as Mr.. Hoar painted
the man from Maine. Mr.. Blaine was
nominated. Then Mr.. Hoar turned a
double summersault, became the candi-

denounced those whom he had stirred
up against him, but who were abiding
in the conviction the evidence and the
preconvention arguments of Mr.. Hoar
forced upon them.

judged grounds, enlisted in the war
against the administration policy.

ENTERING LADYSMITH.

LONDON, March 7.-Several corre-
spondents describe the entry of Gen.
Buffers column into Ladysmith on
March 3.
The streets were lined with the gar
rison and all the civilians who were
well enough to stand the sun gathered
to cheer their deliverers. Gen. White
and his staff ON horseback were in
front of the town hall, the shattered
tower and broken walls of which fur
nished fitting background to the inn
pressive scene.
Gen. Butler and his staff headed the
troops, escorted by the irregular horse,
and the Dublin Fusiliers, owing to
their distinguished gallantry and loss
es, led the van. They were greeted
with storm of appreciative cheers.
Gen. Warren followed, leading the
Fifth Division. All branches of the
service were most enthusiastically &C.
claimed.
One correspondent describes it as
one of the most splendid and most
moving spectacles he ever saw,
it being as affecting as the Queee's Ju-
bilee procession, as magnificent as
| Carr's entry into Moscow and as enthu-
siastic as Admiral Dewey's welcome in
New York.
Twenty-Five thousand men of all
arms, blistered and tanned, caked with
mud and bloodstains and as ragged as
sweeps, passed for three hours before
Gen. George Stewart White, cheering,
laughing, shouting and tossing their
helmets into the air. The emciated,
yellow faced garrison, whose uniforms
spoke of the weeks of starvation the
men had undergone, cheered in return,
The pipers of the Gordon Highlanders
played their bags. The women and
children waved their handkerchief and
cheered.
Two battalions of the Devonshire
regiment, who had separated in Indie
five years ago, broke ranks and the ole
comrades rushed into onel 'another's
