A CHURCHS ANNIVERSARY.

One of New York's historic churches,
the Broadway Tabernacle, celebrated
its sixtieth anniversary recently. The
which is located in the heart
of the Tenderloin, was the outgrowth
of a great revival movement. 1t had a
stirring history during the Civil war
and no church in the country was more
closely engaged in the great moral con-
hict with slavery for twenty years pre-
ceding Lincoln's emancipation. One
Sunday night 100000 was raised after
the usual services to equip a regiment
for the front. During the riots of July,
1863, it was with difficulty that mob
was prevented from burning the build
ing, so pronounced was the attitude of
the members. The church has the
unique reputation of having given
$500, 600 to objects of benevolence during
twenty-siX years. 1t is a dingy, time
stained structure, located at Thirty
fourth street and Broadway, within a
stones throw of the Waldorf-Astoria

PANIC CAUSED BY FIRE.
Employees Ofa Chicago Clothing House
Narrowly Escape Cremation.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Fire last evening
destroyed the building at the inter
section of Milwaukee and Ashland
avenues occupied by the Continental
clothing store. High winds famed
the flames so iercely that the stl uc-
ture was consumed in an incredibly
short time. Great excitement fol
lowed the discovery of the fire and a
panic seized the employees when it
was found impossible to reach the
street by the stairways. Windows
were smashed and men and boys
leaped to the awnings which were
spread by citizens in the street be-
low. The awnings served as life
nets and half a dozen employees
leaped safely into them and dropped
to the sidewalk uninjured.
The Continental clothing store was
owned by j. n. Nusbaum. He valued
it at $50, ZOO and he carried an insur-
ance of so per cent. of that amount.
The loss is practically total. The
building was valued at $4,000 and
the loss is estimated at $4,000 with
full insurance.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Democratic Senators Will Try to Talk
1t 10 Death.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The demo-
cratic senators and their co-workers
n the senate who are opposed to the
ship subsidy bill did not hold a for
nal conference Thursday to decide
lpon a course to be pursued with
reference to that measure, as had
oeen announced they would do, the
explanation being made that it had
been discovered that the opposition
was still so determined as to render
/ formal meeting unnecessary. While
here was no caucus, however, there
was a general exchange of views of
The minority senator's which enabled
The leaders to form definite opinion
1t the close of the day of the position
Of the opposition as whole.
The decision reached is to continue
The debate upon the bill for present,
with the hope of being able to keep
i going until it will become neces-
sary for the republican majority to
take up the appropriation bills and
Dther measures which should pass
before March 4.
They say that they have speeches
assured for eight or ten days, and
that there are probably other SEN
ators who will prepare speeches
within that time. Among those who
will talk are Senators Daniel, Caf-
ferry, Berry, Kenney, Allen, Money,
lindsay, Butler and Pettigrew. Sen
ators Clay and Turner also will make
speeches in addition to those they
have already delivered on this ques-
ton.
1t is expected that Senator Caffery
will talk at least two days. The op-
position also count upon speeches
from the republican side of the
chamber, Senators, Allison, Perkins,
Spooner and McCumber being includ-
ed in the list of probable speakers.
The canvass of the situation has
convinced the democratic leaders
that there are half dozen or more
republican senator's who would like
to see the bill defeated, even in its
amended form, but they do not eX-
pect their votes against the bill if it
should come to vote. On the other
hand, they count upon the loss of
some of their own membership in
support of the bill.

PROF. SLABY's PREDICTION.
Claims that a Revolution in EIectricA
DeveIopmenI Is at Hand.

Berlin, Jan. 31.-Prof. A. Slaby in
the course of a remarkable interview
on THE Coming Electrical Revolu-
tion" which is to appear in the forth
coming number of new technical
periodical, asserts that his recent in
venton, multipleX wireless teleg-
raphy, will produce a very great
transformation in existing methods.
1t will be possible, he declares, to
apply the principle to submarine
cables in such way as to send hum
dreds and even thousands of mes
sages simultaneously on the same
wire, thus enormously cheapening
rates.
Prof. Slaby believes that the prob
lem of direct production of electricity
from coal will be solved. Germany,
he predicts, will be the foremost ma
ton of the twentieth century in
technical production, and electricity
will be the poor mans source of pow
er and light.
He is confident of the success of
the electrical express locomotives
now being constructed in Berlin for
a speed of two hundred kilometres
an hour

a JOINT CONFERENCE.
uiners and Operators Meet TO Arrange
Wage Scale for the Ensuing Year.

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-The joint
conference of the operators of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and western Penn
sylvania, called to fix the price of
mining for the scale year beginning
april |, 1901. convened here Thursday
with more than 500 miners and opcr-
ators in attendance. The first ses-
sion was brief, the conference adj
iourning until to-day Immediately
after the committees on rules, Gre
dentials and permanent Organization
had been appointed. The real work
of the conference will begin to-day
with the appointment of the scale
committee.
The permanent chairman of the
conference will be Walter Mullin, of
Ohio, president of the Massillon
Operators association. The secre-
tary will be w. b. Wilson, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Work.
ers. The operators and miners of
Iowa and Michigan will not be ad-
mitted to the joint conference. This
was settled last night by the commit
tee on credentials after protracted
discussion.
No one will venture a prediction as
to whether an agreement will be
reached by the joint conference. The
miners are guarding their position
with extraordinary secrecy and the
operators are doing likewise. 1t is
known, however, that they are wide
apart and some of the operators eX-
press doubts as to the outcome. The
only point upon which there is abso-
lutte unanimity of sentiment among
the operators is that no advance will
be conceded. The miners must rely,
therefore, on securing concessions
in other directions, but just what
these concessions are cannot be as
certaned. 1t is apparent, however,
that the miners will make vigorous
effort to secure the adoption both of
the run-of-mine basis and Il uniform
differential between pick and ma
chine mining.
A single miner delegate from West
Virginia has made his appearance
and will ask for an opportunity to
lay before the conference the condi-
tions of that state, but it is not prob
able he will be heard in open conven-
ton

RAN INTO A HURRICANE.
A Venezuelan GunbOat Has a Terrible

San Juan, Porto Rico, Feb. l.
The Venezuelan gunboat Restaura-
dor, formerly the Atalanta, George
Gould's yacht, which left New York
January "a, for La Guayra, Venezue-
la, arrived here Thursday. Her com
mander, Capt. Jeremiah Merithew,
reports that the gunboat struck a
fearful gale off Bermuda last Sunday
which continued for three days. Coal
and water were exhausted and the
mahogany deckwork was burned as
fuel. The waves ran mountains high.
The boats were stove in and the jib-
boom, bowsprit and spars were lost.
For 4s hours Capt. Merithew was on
the bridge. Finally the bunker floors
were burned, but this scarcely served
to keep up steam and the last avail
able fuel had gone into the furnace
when the Restaurador sighted Ell
MORO. Capt. Merithew had to burn
his last barrel of pork to get the gun
boat into port.

A RUNAWAY CABLE CAR.
Caught Up with Two other Cars and
Caused Injury TO u Number of Peos

New York, Jan. Stripping up
Lexington avenue at breakneck
speed last night a runaway cable car
caught up with two other cars and
pushed them ahead in a mad run
that lasted for 20 blocks before the
cars were under control. Then 1t
was found that four persons were
hurt seriously and a score slightly.
All three cars were crowded with
the rush from down town, and win
dows were crashed in, platforms
wrecked and the passengers tossed
wildly about. In the race that first
started with one car and wound up
with three iammed and locked to-
gether, the only person not IN the
cars who was hurt was an express
man. His wagon, laden with pack
ages, was sent flying, and the oil
lamp on the wagon exploded, scatter
ing flames.
So while police and crowds chased
the flying cars, other policemen and
other crowds fought confiagration
in their wake, and dragged stupe-
fed expressman from beneath piles
| of blazing boxes, trunks and pack
ages.
OF those injured on the cars all
were passengers, as many OF them
were standing up clinging to straps.
With the swaying and the jammed i2-
terors they could not protect then-
selves, and sometimes they were half
out of the broken windows, and at
ether times piled in heaps in either
| the front or rear. Those most
d; vigorously hurt were men and wo-
men who were thrown to the floors
and trampled on. The others, who
were in their seats, suffered greatly
from bruises and cuts from flying
| glass.

ANIMALS CREMATED.
Seyenty-fve Inmates of "zOOo are
Burned to Death.

Baltimore, Jan. 31.-With pitifui
screams of fright and groans of in
tense pain, the rs or more animals of
all descriptions confined in cages at
Frank c. Bostock's "Zoo," which was
in winter quarters in the old Cyclic"
rama building in this city, were
burned to death last night. \ fire,
which probably originated from
badly insulated electrical wire on the
outside of the building, caused the
confagration which, once started, in
an incredibly short time enveloped
the entire structure. The flames
spread so rapidly that it was impos-
sible for the attendants to rescue the
helpless animals, and with the eXcep-
ton of one elephant, one camel, two
donkeys and a pack of hounds, the
entire herd was lost.
The fire was discovered a few min
utes after the evening performance
had ceased. Had the attendance
been as large as usual, which was
light because of a snow storm, it
would have been impossible to have
emptied the building as quickly, and
loss of human life would have doubt
less resulted. AS it was there were
two members of the audience and the
attaches in the great building.
SO rapid was the spread that
those were compelled to seek safety,
and got away as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Bostock estimates his loss on
animals at about $2OO,O0O The build
ing could probably be duplicated for
SIS 900 or $4,000.

near Koweit, on the Persian gulf, be-
tween Arab sheilths and Binrashid,
who calls himself king of Arabia.
Binrashid had 10000 men, partly
armed with rifles, while the sheikhs
had 10000, all mounted and carrying
rifles. Binrashid marched on Ko-
welt and the sheikhs advanced to
meet him. The battle, which was
fought by night, lasted from sunset
until dawn. Binrashid charged re-
peatedly, but he was completely
routed by the sheikhs, who captured
a great quantity of booty.

of Chamberlain q Co., of Chicago, to
remove the wreck FIR nothing and to
give the government 3 per cent on

One contractor proposed to raise it
