WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Speaker Hen
derson, who has been i'll for sew
eral days, called the house to order.
After some routine business had been
transacted the debate upon the reap.
portionment bill was resumed, Mr..
Dalzell (Pa.) took the floor and deliv-
cred speech Of an hour in support Of
the Hopkins bill.
MI. Dalzell denied the affirmation
that under the rules this was an ef-
fcient house; on the contrary it was
an inefficient house. The records
showed it. He argued at length in op.
position to an increase in the member
ship of the house and produced records
of it's business to demonstrate his dec
laration that the house, even at its
present size, is inefficient in admins
tration.
Mr. Grosvenor co. declared he would
vote for a smaller rather than a larger
house. If the Burleigh bill became a
law it turned over 25 per cent Of the
power Of the Fifty.eighth congress to
the cities of this country and stripped
the rural districts of their power.

PEKlSa, Jan. 9.-The protest of the

southern viceroys also have protested,

The objections Of the southern vice.
roys are precisely the same as those
which the court originally telegraphed
to Prince Ching and concerning which,
on the representations of Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang, the
court eventually agreed to endeavor
to make better terms after the signing
Of the note.
The court doubtless was Influenced
by the protests from the south because
it was generally felt that the dynasty
had less influence there than in the
north. sl .ge.E s.
Lii Hung Chang is invisible to the
public and his attendants claim that he
is suffering from a serious relapse.
though many persons think his relapse
is made convenience SO the signing
of the note can be delayed until the
court can be heard from again.

COMPROMISE MEASURE.

New Indian Timber Bill With a National

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The senti-
ment in Minnesota in favor Of the
creation Of national park on the
Chippewa reservation is recognized in
a bill just prepared here, amendatory
of the Nelson law. It provides that
when the Indian timber has been re-
moved from the reservation and allot-
ments made, that the surplus lands rec
manning shall be reserved in whole or
in part for forestry on park purposes.
II This provision is not mandatory,
however, as it contains an alternative
proposition directing the secretary Of
the interior to dispose Of the surplus
lands under the homestead laws. The
course to be pursued BY the secretary
is discretionary; he may reserve the
land for park purposes or dispose Of
them as directed. The provisions Of
the measure relating to the disposal Of
the Indian pine follow the lines Of the
Curtis bill and the one more recently
drafted by Represen tative Eddy

ASYLUM HORROR
Nearly Two Score Of Lives Lost
in the Awful Disaster at
Rochester, N. Y.
Iwenty-eight Bodies Recovered
and at Least a Dozen PeO-
pie Are Missing.
Flames Spread So Rapidly It
Was Impossible to Prevent
the Loss of Life.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Jan. 9.-As q
result of the destruction Of the Roch.
ester orphan asylum 20 bodies have
been recovered-26 children, l nurse
and cook. In addition dozen others
are missing. The asylum was a 3-story
structure and its occupants numbered
between 1855 and 1876.
The fire was discovered at a. m,
and word was promptly sent to police
headquarters. All the fire apparatus
was rushed to the burning building,
but before the first engine arrived the
neighbors for blocks around had gath
cred and were doing their best to res
cue the inmates.
Shortly after the fire broke out a
boiler exploded with terrific force,
completely blowing out the lower part
of the west end Of the connecting
wing, thereby cutting off the escape of
the children from the east end OF the
building. The children who were
nearest to the connecting wing were
apparently dazed by the force Of the
explosion and with difficulty were able
to take in their surroundings when
finally aroused.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The work of rescue and attempted
rescue was taken mp by many hands,
volunteers as we'll as firemen, and in
many cases was carried on in a manner
that was nothing less than heroic, but
the flames gained such rapid Roadway
and spread with such incredible speed
that it was beyond human effort to
prevent the loss of life. In few min.
utes after the fire broke out half of the
building within which the hospital
was situated was a mass Of flames The
smoke poured out from every window
and screams and frantic cries could be
heard coming from the imprisoned in
mates. The long ladders were run up
and plunging into the sitting smoke
fireman after fireman came sliding
down the ladders, bearing inanimate
forms in their arms. Most Of the chill
dren and adults carried from the burn
ing building were unconscious from
the effects Of the thick smoke. The fire
was fought from every available point,
but in spite Of that the building was
almost completely destroyed before the
blaze was finally under control.
( Caring for the Injured.
/ Ambulances from all of the hospitals
were on the ground almost as soon as
the fire companies, and houses in the
neighborhood were opened to receive
the little waits who were carried from
the asylum. The ambulances were
started to the hospitals with the more
seriously burned children. In severa
cases they were dead when taken from
the vehicle at the hospital doors.
Fireman Morris Keating went up Il
the roof on ladder to rescue 5wome1
