QUAY Case IN THE SENATE
Voted "a to % to Consider
the Resolution.
DANIEL OPENED THE DEBAT
Resumption of Discussion Of the Ha-
waiian BiIl-Pettigrew's Boer REESE
lutiOn-Foraker Replies to Veste

Washington, Feb. 26.-Today's ses-
sion of the senate was unusually inter-
esting from the very beginning. In
spite of vigorous and influential opno-
sition, Penrose, of Pennsylvania, sue
ceeded in getting the Quay case before
the senate. and during the afternoon
three notable speeches were delivered.
After sharp parliamentary squabble,
Penrose moved that the resolution in
volving the seating of Quay be taken up
for consideration. On an aye and no
vote the motion prevailed, "a to %.
The majority was SO decisive as to
cause some surprise. 1t is known that
some senator's who will vote, if the op
portunity be offerd, to seat Quay, today
voted against the consideration of the
case, while on the contrary others who
voted for consideration probably will
vote against seating him. The vote
cannot, therefore, be regarded as a test
of Quay's absolute strength in the sem
ate. Following the taking up of the
resolution, Daniel, of Virginia, deliver
ed speech in which he vigorously sup
ported Quay's right to seat. Vest, of
Missouri, and Foraker, of Ohio, deliv-
cred notable speeches anent the Ha-
waiian government bill. Both were
constitutional arguments, Foraker's
being a reply to that of Vest.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26.-One woman

injured and property valued at $780,
900 was destroyed by fire which broke
out tonight in the heart of the whole.
sale millinery district. The burned
area covers nearly two acres. The wo.
man killed was Clara Cohen, 26 years
of age, seamstress in the employ of
Harris and Bernard Cohen. She met
her death by jupming from the fifth
floor of the building in which the fire
started. Among the most seriously
hurt was Clara Udor, who fell from the
third floor of the same building.
The fire started in the third floor Of

BIG STEAMSHIP ASHORE
Wreck Of the Californian Of
the Maine Coast.
PASSENGERS ARE ALL SAFE
The Vessel Went on Reef in the Har-
Dor of Portland, Maine, During a
Heavy Storm.

Portland, Me-, Feb 27-The big Allan
line steamship Californian, which left
her dock at midnight, went ashore on
Ran, Island ledge, just outside the
harbor, few minutes after the pilot left
her this morning All the passengers
are safe, though still aboard. Most of
the local seafaring men are of the
opinion that the rocks have penetrated
the bottom of the vessel in several
places, and they doubt very much if she
can be saved. The vessel is valued at
So, 3,0O0,000; the cargo at $500, 900.
There are six cabin, five intermediate
and 10 steerage passengers, beside a
crew of rs men.
The Californian was in charge of
Pilot Edward L. Parsons, and at the
time he left her the wind was blowing
hard from the southeast, and a heavy
rain was falling. Pilot Parsons left
the ship on reaching the bell buoy of
Cushing's Island Point, after he gave
the officers of the ship the course. Ten
minutes later the Californian was hard
and fast aground on Ram Island ledge.
This is reef that runs out from Ram
island and the ship had gone several
points off her course when she struck.
The ship is lying under the lee of Ram
island, on the ledge, and although the
waves are breaking with great force,
the long ledge acts as a breakwater and
protects the ship. The local officials
foated. The conditions are now fav-
orable.
The Californian was bound to Glas-
gov by way of Halifax. Captain Barc-
lay says that the hold is full of water,
the fires are extinguished, there is a
heavy sea, but the passengers are per-
fectly safe. The cargo. of 5000 tons
consists manly of meats, lard, apples,
cheese and grain. The greater part of
the cargo was probably insured by the
consignees. 1t is not known whether
the ship was insured.
The steamship California, now
named the Californian, was built on
the Clyde and launched in 1891. She
is built of milled steel, is classed AL
in Lloyd's special survey, and with ad-
ditional Strengthening over Lloyd's
requirements to comply with the de-
mands of the admiralty for transport
service. Her length is 400 feet, beam
46 feet and depth of hold 80 feet 8
inches. Her tonnage capacity is 5000
tons. She is divided into eight COM
partments, the bulkheads of which are
all carried to the upper deck. These,
with the cellu4 ar double bottom, insure
the greatest amount of safety in case of
accident.

The robbery was not discovered until
about 10 o'clock today, when several
dollars worth of stamps were found be-
hind the adjoining harness shop by w.
II. Craven, which led to an investiga-
tion. 1t is thought that the thieves

YAQUlS HARD FIGHTERS.
Mexicans Lose More Than 200 in Op'
Battle.

Mexicans Lose More Than 200 in Ope
Battle.
Chicago, Feb. 28.-A special to the
Chronicle from Potam, Sonora, Mexico,
says: The Mexican Federal troops,
under General Torres, have saved Quay
mas from the Yaquis, but by dint of
the fiercest fighting of the war. and a
sacrifice of 200 soldiers. The town
here is filed with wounded, and all
public buildings are utilized. Torres
anticipated the surprise the Yaquis in
tended. The Indians were accom- panied
by 10 adventures, miners and cow
boys, who acted as commanders of sep
arate companies of 40 men each. The
had been smuggled through at Bisbee,
A. T., in load of machinery. The
gun was manipulated, the Mexicans
say, by two ex-rough riders.
Torres reached here Thursday after
noon and decided to divide his army of
700 men into two divisions. The first
and strongest, fianked by the gunboat
Democratic. left here at daybreak Fri
day morning. No scouts preceded the
force and the first intimation of the
presence of the Yaquis was a wither-
ing fire from the Maxim and rifle
volley from concealed Notifications in
a dense thicket. The first division re-
treated in confusion, and was sheltered
in the timber growth along the river.
More than 100 men fell at the first fire.
The Democrats then steamed up and
swept the thicket with her machine
gun, but evidently ineffectively. Her
forward decks were swept, and the pro-
tected upper decks peppered with bull
lets from the Maxim. Ten sailors and
First Lieutenant Rambolo, of the army
were killed. The Democratic drifted
for more than half mile until a bend
in the river sheltered her.
Late in the afternoon hill signals
showed the waiting commanders of the
first division that the second detach-
ment had reached the neighboring
heights to the southeast in it's flank
movements. A simultaneous attack
was then made from the front and
flank, and the Indians retreated. The
Maxim gun, disabled and useless, was
brought to Potam and 73 Indians, the
official report states, we're found dead.
During the first fire of the Yaquis %
Mexican Federals were driven into the
river in panic, and drowned. The
total Mexican loss was 227. The DEM
ocrata has been taken to Guaymas for
repairs.
This is the first time the Yaquis have
made use of Notifications.

I'm Northern Cane Colony.

Arundel, Feb. 26.-Colonel Hender.
sons squadron of the 1nniskillings,
with two guns, reconnoitered westward
to Mooifontein Farm, on the direct
road to esburg and Hanover. They
got close to the Beers in the hills, and
were fired on. They quickly got their
guns in position and shelled the hills.
Evidently the Beers were driven out,
retiring northward, when they came
under the fire of two other guns, sup
ported by company of Australians,
near the British western post on Dra-
COON Hill. Colonel Henderson pro-
ceeded to Mooifontein Farm, which he
now occupies. The British patrols
from Hanover also came out that far.
The Beers are not in great force.
They have been persistently followed
all day and have withdrawn a consid-
erable distance northward.

Pennsylvania Town on Fire.

Pittsburg, Feb. 2S.-At l O'Clock
this morning fire was discovered in
Wilson's billiard hall. Main street,
Clarion, Pa, and in short time an
entire block of business buildings was

$150.000. Judge W. w. Barr, the
Oldest inhabitant and prominent poll
tician, dropped dead from excitement.
The water pipes are frozen. AT 4
O'Clock this morning the fire was still
raging and not under control. Snow
was being piled up in huge piles, and
teams were used to cart it to the scene
of the fire. Huge bonfires were lit at
all fire plugs. but at late reports the
water had not thawed out. The near
est town is Edenburg, 10 miles away,
and there is no possibility of getting

BIG FIRE NEAR PARIS.
Series of Alcohol Explosions Injure
$50 People.


Paris, Feb. 28.-As result of fire
that broke out this morning at ST.
Quen, a suburb of Paris, in a collection
of alcohol and oil stores, series of ex-
plosions occurred, spreading the flames
until q block of six immense ware
houses was involved in huge con-
hagration.
A great concourse of spectators had
assembled and had approached too
near, When suddenly the explosions
occurred. A large number of people,
including some firemen, were more OF
less injured. The last explosion oc-
Cured at O'Clock this afternoon, when
it was thought that much danger had
been averted. Thirty persons were in
jured by flying debris. The official
compilation shows that $50 were hurt,
and quite number seriously.
The fire broke out at 8 O'Clock, from
some cause as yet unknown, and had
obtained firm hold before it was dis
covered. 1t progressed without excit-
ing incidents during the morning, and
at O'Clock had been gotten under con-
troll. At O'Clock, however, tho fall
ing walls permitted the flames to reach
number OF alcohol vats, and then the
explosions began to take place. The
block of warehouses was almost sur
rounded by unoccupied ground, over
which the burning alcohol spread when
the buildings collapsed, resembling a
sea of flames, and causing CONSERVATION
throughout the district. People in the
dwellings near by began hastily remov-
ing their furniture. The suffocating
heat and fumes seriously hampered the
work of the fire brigade. A number of
engines were sent from Paris to assist.
The firemen worked fearlessly, and
more than once were precipitated to the
ground by falling roofs and walls.
A detachment of soldiers aided the
firemen in emptying the adjacent
houses of furniture. Ambulances were
busy in carrying victims to the neigh
boring hospitals.
Fortunately the flames did not reach
the immense reservoirs of petroleum.
The loss is estimated at 100000
francs

SPRING TRADE ENLARaINa.
General Distribution Is Of Fairly Good
Volume.

~0h6HAA - Va 1toA
Volume.
Bradstreet's review of trade says:
General distribution of trade is Of
fairly good volume, although affected
by weather conditions and holidays.
Spring business is enlarging at many
markets East and West, the presence
of buyers being encouraged by special
passenger rates. A softening of prices
of speculatively dealing staples is to be
noted, but the reactions are of narrow
extent.
Foreign demand for wheat remains
small, American stocks are large, and
farmers are reported holding supplies
back, and crop-damage scares are dis
counted by mild weather. The
strength of corn has been feature, for
eign demand being of good proportions,
and this has furnished a supporting
element in the wheat market.
There is larger volume of business
in pig iron at some markets, but less
at others, and prices OF that product
are quite steady.
Structural iron continues active, in
dicating heavy building operations the
coming spring and summer. Foreign
iron markets retain all their old
strength, and lower ocean freight
would, it is argued, bring about a
great enlargement of our export trade.
Copper is quieter, but steady in price
and tin notes a further advance in SYM
pathy with foreign speculation. Hard
ware is improving in distribution at
the West.
Business failures for the week num-
Der 163, as compared with 1919 week
ago, and 220 in 1899.
The strength of staple values is
feature of Canadian trade. Retailers
will carry over some stocks of winter
clothing. Industrial activity is very
marked, Canadian factories running to
their fullest capacity. Business fail
ures for the week number %. against
85 last week, and 80 in this week
year ago.

Beers Are Concentrating at Bloemfon-
tein.
London, Feb. 28.-The Beers are
assembling an army near Bloemfontein,
with which to dispute the invasion of
Lord Roberts.
This intelligence comes from Pre-.
toria by way of Lurenco Marques. The
commands are described as ''hastening
from all quarters of the two repub-
lies" No estimate is made of their
numbers, but the withdrawal of the
Beers from most of the places where
they have been in contact with the
British, except the district near Lady.
smith, may raise the resisting force to
10000 men. This figure assumes that
the Beers have between go, 600 and TO-
600 men in the fiela.
The gathering of this army across
the path of Lord Roberts gives signifi-
canoe to General Cronje's steadfast de-
fense. He has engaged the corps OF
Lord Roberts for 10 days, and has given
time for the dispersed Boer factions to
get together and to prepare positions to
receive the advance of the British when
Lord Roberts moves forward.
