PLAYERS PREVENT A PANIC.
A Disastrous Fire in a Theatre mt
Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Jan 22.-E. H. Sothern
and his company aided largely in prevent
ing panic in big audience tonight dur
ing fire that finally destroyed the Grand
Opera House and several surrounding
buildings. and catailed a loss of about a
half million dollars. After the play of
Hamlet had progressed about half an
hour the strong smell of smoke that had
been generally noticed for few moments
vas suddenly followed by streams of
smoke. anI quickly by flames coming ap-
parent!y from the floor
Mr.. Sothern advanced to the frcnt of
the stage and entreated the people to keep
calm. as the danger was not pressing In
the mean time the opera house was being
emptiod Of the excited, but not stampeded
audience. The occupants OF the foremost
rows Of seats were helped over the stage
by Mr.. SOthern and members of his com
pany and easily reached back street
through the stage door. Many men and
women left so abruptly that oyercoats
and sealskins and other rich garments
were left behind to the flames. In ten
minutes from the first alarm the building
was enveloped in flames. Everybody es
capped, no one even sustaining an injury.
Mr.. Sothern lost costumes which, he
said, were worth at least $50 200, not in
cluding the special armor, etc, made for
him in England. and costing $1,000. His
scenery he valued at $4,000, making his
total loss, as he estimated 1t. $50, ,000, with
small insurance He had intended putting
on the play of Camille after leaving
here for which his wife, Virginia Harmed,
had been rehearsing. but the scenery for
this play was also destroyed. Mr.. Sothern
was quite calm and cheerful despite his eX-
citing experience serious financial loss,
ard the entire upsetting of his future
plans, although he has by no means re-
covered his health from recent injury.
The local German theatrical company
had its home in the Grand Opera House.
where it gave Sunday performances. The
company lost all its scenery and COS
tunes.
The headquarters building of the Gin
cin1ati fire department was badly wreck
ed and much of the valuable apparatus
destroyed The fine new Butler Build
ing, around the corner On Sixth Street,
was destroyed. Rosenthal's printing
works, Achert & Hinkle, photographers,
and Max Wocher. surgical Instruments,
are among the firms who are the prin-
cipal losers. The fire attained full de-
structive fury more speedily than any
conilagration here in years.
Vine Street in front of the Grand Opera
House was soon sprin!lled with persons,
some hatless and cOatless. others with the
costumes of the play with which they had
hastily quilted the stage. The heat from
the burning buildings made Race Street
impaJsable for a time
Mr.. Harry Rainforth. one of the lessees
of the opera house. says he thinks the
fire originated in the engine room.
Il
ceeded in checking the flames and ap-
parently had them under control.

CATION OF the readmission OF the Waters
Fierce OIL Company TO do business in Tex

with. The majority report exonerated Mr..
Bailey of all wrongdoing and condemned
those who have criticised his action in
reference to the transaction.
There were a number OF strong speeches
made against the adoption Of the report.
1t was charged by some of the speakers
that Mr.. Bailey had packed the investi-
eating committee and that there had been
no real investigation; that every witness
before the committee was a friend of Mr..
Bailey and that the whole proceeding was
a farce and conducted strictly by Mr..
Bailey and his friends in the formers in
terests. The majority report of the com
mittee was finally adopted by vote of
20 to Al.
The House and Senate proceeded to vote
for United States Senator Immediately
after the adoption of the report vindi-
eating Mr.. Bailey. In the Senate q votes
were cast for Mr.. Bailey and votes for
A. Y. Atlee, of Laredo. In the House 10
votes were cast for Mr.. Bailey. 1 for VI. VI.
Crane of Dallas, 2 for Horace Chiffon. and
l for John NJ. Reagan. The House and

A BLESSING TO MANKIND
Mr.. Justice Brewers Tribute TO
Queen Victoria.
The Toted Jurixt Euiogizc< Eng
lands Dead Ruicr. Declaring That
Her Action Ayerted War Between
Gr"nt Hritain and :he United states
Her Strength of Character.

Mr. Justice Brewer introduced his lee
ture TO the class CT 1902. Columbian Uni
versiry Law School, last night. with an
eloquent e,logy in memory Of Queen Vie
toria He spologized fer trespassing upon
the time of the students by explaining
the Importance CT such an event to the
world at large. and especially to those
engaged in the study of law.
After stating that the reign OF Queen
Victoria had always been OF interest
to him, not only because OF his associa-
tion with Lord Russell, but also because
Of the fact that he was born on the same
day that the Queen ascended the throne,
actions of Her Majesty that were par
ticuiarly indicative of her wisdom and
personal influence
Her refusal to reinstate British off,
Ger in the army who had been discharged
from the service because of an assault
upon lady, even when petitioned to do
so by some of the greatest public men in
England. was mentioned as an evidence
Of the strong mindedness OF Eugland's s
deceased monarch
Her personal influence over the army
Mr.. Brewer illustrated by a hitherto un-
published action of the Queen, which was
communicated to him by the late Chief
Justice Lord Russell. In the early years
of the Queens reign the custom of duel
ing among officers was in vogue to as
great extent as it is in the German and
French armies of today. An incident of
this character having reached the ears
of the Queen, she sent a note to an
officer in the army in which she said that
man who participated in a duel was not
honorable. The purport of this message
was circulated and The best testimony of
its results, said Mr.. Brewer is the pres
ent marked aversion in the British army
to these affairs of honor.
The last action illustrative of Victoria S
greatness was her refusal to sign Lord
Russelrs ultimatum to the United States
after the famous Mason and Slidell con-
troversy. Her calm and careful pro-
cedure in this case said Mr. Brewer. to-
gether with the conservative and just ac-
tions of Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward.
averted war between Great Britain and
the United States.
The appeal of Mr.. Justice Brewer for
the admiration of the students for this
noble Queen was most sincere and elo-
quent. His conclusion marked the end of
a speech that was received with marked
attention and fattering applause. 1t was
in part: Il want to say with all solemnity
that Queen Victoria was the greatest
blessing God has given to any nation."
