$75o,ooo FIRE.
Cork Factory Destroyed in Pittsburg.
 Loss Covered By Insurance.

Pittsburg, Pa, February 9.-The i've story brick building at Twenty y-third street and the Allegheny Valley Railroaod, occu- pied by the Armstrong Brothers cork fac tory. was completely destroyed by fire to- day, together with the foundry and ma chinery of the shop of the Totton and Hogg Iron and Steel foundry on Twenty fourth street adjoining the Armstrong's s. The loss will reach almost $750,0O0, with in- surance covering the amount fully. The confagration was one of the most spectac- ular seen in the city for a long time. The flames of the main building of the Arm strong factory, where the fire originated, spread with astonishing rapidity, and five alarms were sounded in quick succession, calling out all the engines in the lower city to the scene. Great excitement pre- vailed because the employees of the cork factory, numbering 1500, were all at work, and it was feared that many of the girls and boys in the building would not be able to escape. Fortunately the several escapes means for the safety of all. The flames de- stroyed the Totten and Hogg foundry be- fore they could be checked. The Armstrong cork factory was the largest plant of the kind in the country, and the company has offices in most of the big cities.
 Much valuable machinery was destroyed. The companies carrying insurance in the plants may not be learned tonight.

REFUSE ID FAT
 WITH THE NEGRO
Congressman Decline Invitation To Dinner Where Co.ored
 < Colleague Is Asked

Washington, February 9-(Special. )-Race prejudice has caused the recall of invitations sent out by Congressman Charles F. Sprague, of Massachusetts, to members of the House District of Columbia committee to dine with him.
 By an oversight Sprague sent an invita- tion to George H. White, the North Carolina negro member of Congress, who is mem Der of the committee.
 Representative Otey of Virginia who is a southern gentleman of the old school, sus- pected that White had been invited to the dinner and he refused to accept Sprague's hospitality. Other members sent declina- tions ,and as it finally dawned upon Mr. Sprague that he would have to break bread with himself and the negro, White alone, get up another one to which the members Of the committee will be invited as indi- vidual members of Congress. In this way White will not be invited.
 The incident has excited much comment in the House.
 Northern ,as we'll as southern members re- fused to eat with the negro member.
 White is probably the last of the negro mebers of Congress. He goes out on March 4 and will be succeeded by Dem ocrat. i.t
 It is not believed another negro will ever be elected to Congress.

.PITCHFORK WIELDER
 CREATES A SENSATION

talk-that 1t was a mistake for our govern ment to give assurance of purpose to leave Cuba Men assert, without any apparent sense of shame, that while 1t all well enough for us to go to war for the sake of humanity, and in humanity's name, we should have left ourselves free to bring the Cuban people into subjection to us, and free to take their islands into our keeping and hold 1t as our property. Deep regret is ex- pressed because of the fact that before the world we pledged ourselves to the people of Cuba that we would not make conquest of their islands, but that we would leave 1t to them. The man who says we should have resorted to this double-dealing in April, 1899, now very logically and vigorously goes a step further and says we ought to violate the pledge we then made and take Cuba, whether she wants to come to us or not What more miserable, more inhuman, more <. unpatriotic course could be advocated? It is the climax of greed without one spark of conscience. It is the acme of ayarfce without a single redeeming feature. It is the doctrine of a freebooter of the world. It Is the code of pirate of all the seas.
 Representative Miers Indiana, and Repre- sentative Dinsmore, Arkansas, also spoke on the Philippines. The consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill went over at o'clock and the rest of the day was given over to eulogies of the late Representatives Daly of New York and Wise of Virginia.

TaIman SWeaTs By Almighty God He Will See PenSiOner
 Get Justice ATTACKS HOUSE COMMITTEE 5aa He Asserts That Sectional AnImosity Is Great. MT. Brown Makes Anti-CoIoniaI Policy Speech
 In House Which Causes
 Another Sensation

Washington, February 9.-During almost the entire session of today the Senate had under consideration the naval appropria- tion bill. Practically the bill was com- pleted when 1t was laid aside for the day, all the committee amendments being adopted but as the measure was about to be placed on it's passage MT. Butler of North Carolina precpitated a discussion of the armor plate question. In order to enable others to speak upon the matter the bill was laid aside until Monday.
 Eulogies upon the late Representative AL fred c. Harmer of Pennsylvania concluded the session.
 The passage at the beginning of the ses- sion of bill granting a pension of $50 a month to Stacey H. Coggswell, Company F, Thirteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, induced MT. Tillman of South Carolina to make some forceful comments upon the House in not taking action upon a bill pro- viding pension for Mexican war veteran who had resided in South Carolina during the CIVIL war ana nHu ndLurd1ly been III sympathy with the Confederacy. The bill had been passed by the Senate but the House invalid pension committee was de- laying final action on it. MT. Tilman said there was such sectional animosity on the part of the House committee that the members refused to take action on the bill for the benefit of this old Mexican war veteran.
 "Is the war over, or is it not?" demanded MT. Tillman with vehemence. Let us find out whether it is or not.
 T swear by the Almighty God that will not let another pension bill pass thls Senate until this old man gets justice
 The resolution offered yesterday by MT. Ber calling upon the President for in- formation as to whether the American mil ister to China had joined with the repre- sentatives of the other powers in demand ing the execution of Prince Yuan and other Chinese officers was adopted without de- bate.

CONGRESSMAN BROWN CAUSES
 SENSATION IN THE HOUSE

Washington, February 9.-The considera- ton of the diplomatic and consular appro- priation bill in the House today developed a sensation when Representative Brown of Ohio, standing in the center of the Repub- Hcan side of the chamber, made a speech strongly condemning a colonial policy and urging that Congress should at once give assurance to the Filippinos that the pur- pose of the United States was to give them independence. His announcement that he would advocate a resolution to this effect was loudly applauded, particularly on the Democratic side, and at the close of the speech, many of his Republican associates crowded about him and congratulated him.
 MT. Brown said: "A colonial policy will be radical departure from the course which our government has consistently ad- hered to in its splendid career of more than a hundred years. A colonial policy will be maintained at the cost-greater than any sum of money can be assured-of violating principles which we have cherished as the very life of free government. A colonial policy will require us to govern without the consent of the governed. A colonial policy will destroy the high ideals which we havesso proudly followed from our be- ginning as a nation.
 Congress has never yet announced to the Filipnos what the national purpose is with respect to them If this body will tell them now, tell them explicitly and solemnly that 1t is the fixed determination of this nation to establish it's authority in their country and that when this end shall be reached they shall have chance to become, in due time, free citizens of a free government; if Congress will say this to them and say it now, we may confidently expect that their rude weapons of warfare will fall from their hands and they will sue for peace-peace which they will know means more for them than anything ever held out to them or to their fathers in any genera ton.
 This declaration would now be oppor- tune. It would be at this time wise act which the government is strong enough to perform without having its motives ques- toned by friend or foe. Even the most de- luded Filipino could not misunderstood it. It would go to him as he would know and as all the world would know, in the day of our triumphs and his defeat. This declara.- tion by Congress would now go to the F'ili- pinos as great nations amnesty to them.
 'sWhy not proclaim this to be inhabitants of the Filppine Islands, and why not pro- claim it now? It may be answered that this is about what we really intend to do. It may be asserted that as we are now going, and without pledge or a word from us, the ultimate end of our occupation of Fili- pino territory will be Filipino freedom and Filipino government. But we have not said this to the Filipinos. We have carefully and studiously refused to say this to them.'
 As to Cuba.
 Mr. Brown also referred to the talk fa- yorabIe to holding Cuba, and said:

An Early Runaway.

As an early starter in the way
of excitement this morning, the
first thing to occur was runaway.
@. Rulisou was driving down Pixies
Peak avenue and the horse not be-
ing satisfied to remain in the street,
undertook to take possession of the
sidewalk. Mr. Rulisou not being
willing to have the horse occupy
both the street aud the sidewalk,
USED the persuader which is gener-
ally applied in such cases, but this
only seemed to make the animal
more determined to have its own
way in the matter. 1t made dash
for Morris, the jewelers., window,
but fortunately was checked before
reaching it. The horse then
started for McGuire's door, but
upon reaching it turned to the
right and Knocked down the dunn
my which was standing in front of
the store, and then made for the
street.
AT this time it became detached
from the vehicle, carrying the har-
ness aud shafts with it, Upon
reaching the corner of Nevins'
plumbing establishment one of the
shafts penetrated the body of the
horse, iutlicting serious injuries,
which will probably cause its death.

SPAIN ON EVE
OF REVOLUTION
General WeyIer Has Placed Mad
rid Under Martial Law.
THE MINISTRY WILL RESIGN

Washington, Feb. l5-It was re-
ported here this morning that
General Weyler had not only pro-
claimed martial law in Madrid /,
but had posted his troops in such
a manner as to command every part
of the city.
There is a supposition that these
proceedings are to prepare a coup
for Weyler whereby he can over
throw the government. He has
been making speeches for two
years. trying to convince the peo-
pie that he is the only man who
can successfully establish a'perma-
nent government.
1t is generally believed that this
latest action will overthrow. at
least the ministry, if not the gov
ernment.

BADLY MUTiLATED.
Montgomery Revenue Bill Past
ed With 400 Amendments.

Denver, Feb. 15-After abor-
ing with the bill since the third
day of the session, the finance
committee of the house this morn
ing finally reported the Montgom-
cry revenue bill The bill was so
mutilated that even its father, the
speaker, could not recognize it.
The committee recommended 200
amendments, and these with hav-
ing cut out number of sections
made the bill appear like an en-
tirely different measure. The
reading of the amended bill took
up most of the time of this morn
ing's session.
In the senate there was a squab-
BILE over the precinct option bill.
The author of the measure wanted
it to be placed on the calendar for
consideration following the Subhs
electrocution bill. By large
majority the senate decided that
the bill should not be placed on
the calendar for any specified
time
