AS TO ORIGIN.

Various opinions were given as to the
origin of the fire in the hotel. The mana
Ger claims that it was of incendiary origin
Others hold that the fire originated from
sparks from the burning armory building
being swept by the wind in the direction
of the hotel, descending the air shaft,
which was directly alongside the elevator,
and ignitiny the debris which was piled
nm in the basement and near the elevator
shaft. The idea of incendiary origin is
secuted by the guests of the hotel and by
Fire Chief Croker. Another theory is that
the fire started on the fifth and sixth
floors and thus resulted in the damage to
those floors more than to any other por'
tion of the building. The theory advanced
by the majority as 10 the air-shaft is con-
6rmed by many of the fire captains.

SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS.

Several hundred pounds OF ammumuon
stored in the armory detonated in series
of minor explosions, partly wrecklng the
walls near which it was stored. This added
terror and caused fear of greater exple'
sions to those who were fighting the
flames.
1t was not until almost three O'Clock
that flames were discovered in the Park
Avenue Hotel, directly across from the
Armory. Manager Reed, of the hotel
had been on the roof watching the fire in
the Armory, with guests Of the hotel. tie

d'LAURIN CALLS TILLMAN A LIAR

Washington, February 22.-Washing'
toms birthday was signalized in the United
States Senate by fist fight.
The day set apart by the nation to
afford the American people opportunity
to pay Citing tribute to the memory OF the
first President was the occasion of one of
the most sensational scenes ever enacted
in the Senate chamber
The two Senators from South Carolina
were the active participants in the afray.
Mr.. Tillman in the course of a speech
upon the Philippine tariff bill, made
serious reflections upon the honor Of his
colleague, Mr.. McLaurin. In brief, he
charged that Mr.. McIaurins vote ill sup
port of the ratification of the treaty Of
Paris had been cast through the aid OF
improper influence.
WAS SENT FOR
Mr.. McLaurin was not in the chamber
at the time, being engaged in committee
work. but be was sent for and appeared
Just as Mr.. Tllman concluded his speech.
Pale as ashes, Mr.. McLaurin rose to
address the Senate, speaking to question
of personal privilege. He reviewed Mr..
Tillman's charges briefly, and then de-
nounced the statement made by his col
league as "a willful, malicious and deliber-
ate lie."
Scarcely had the words fallen from his
lips when Mr.. Tillman, sitting few seats
from him, with Mr.. Teller, of Colorado,
between them, sprang at him. Mr.. Nc
Laurin, who had turned toward Mr.. Till
man, met him half way, and in an instant
the two Senators, having swept Mr. Teller
aside, were engaged in rough-tumble
fist fight Mr.. McLaurln received heavy
blow on the forehead, while Mr.. Tillman
got a bad punch on the nose which brought
blood.
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Layton
sprang over desks to reach and separate
the combatants and himself received sew
eral blows. He got between them finally
and by main strength wrenched them
apart.
Intense excitement prevailed in the
Senate andin the galleries. Senators stood
about the chamber, for the moment quite
helpless and pale to the lips. Finally,
order was restored partially, and in the
midst of intense excitement tie Senate
went into secret legislative session.
For two hours the Senate discussed the,
event behind closed doors. When the
doors were re.opened it was made known
that both of the South Carolina Senators
by unanimous vote had been declared to
be in contempt of the Senate. They were
permitted, by vote of the Senate, to
make apologies to the Senate.
Senator TiIman left the Capitol when
adjournment was taken for recess, and did
not return for the night session. Senator
McLaurin was in the chamber about s
O'Clock, but left early. Neither Senator,
when seen at his home, would make a
statement.

EIGHTEEN PERISH
In HOTEL FIRE
New York City the Scene Of Another
Biz COnaagratiOn.
THE PARK AVENUE HOTEL BURNED
Handsome ArmOry of list Regiment Mass
Of Ruins-HOtel Crowded With Guests
Attendant on Reception Of Prince
Henry Upon His Arrival.

New York, Feb. 22.-For the third Tune
since New Years Day, Park Avenue, THIS
CITY. was the scene of loss of human life'
First was the collision in the New 1orK
Central tunnel, at Fifty-sixth Street and
Park Avenue; second came the dynamite
explosion in the Rapid Transit subway
at Forty.first Street, and the third, today
was fire which started in the Seventy
first Regiment Armory, at Thirty-third
Street, and then spread to the Parke- Ave
nue. Hotel, where eighteen persons were
killed and many injured.
If was the worst fire since the WINDSOR
Hotel was destroyed. The fire was hrst
seen at about l:SO O'Clock in the morning
in the armory, and in a remarkably short
time that building was ahame from emo 10
end. The fremen made their way as Des'
they could through the streets, deep Wild
slush, and did all possible to conine the
fire to the armory, but after they had been
at work nearly an hour the discovery was
made that the hotel was on fire.
HOTEL CROWDED.
The hotel was crowded with guests who
had come to attend the festivities In honor
of Prince Henry. More than 500 persons
were in the house. The fire was confined
principally to the fifth and sixth fioors'
near the elevator and air shaft. At about
the time the hotel was found to be on fire
tie lights went out and the corridors were
filed with smoke. The guests, unable 10
find their way through the darkened hall
WAYS, jumped from windows or ran olrec1'
" into the flameswept portion OF the
building. 1t is this fact which accounts
for the large loss of life, although the no.
tel was not destroyed,
The fire in the armory started on the
third floor, on the Thirty-third Street slde'
where there was a tier Of rooms occupied
by different companies in the regiment
Within five minutes the whole structure
was beyond saying, and ten minutes later
the roof fell in with terrific crash. There
was no one in the armory at the time ex'
cept jsnitor and his family. They escaped
by going through scuttle-hole in the rool
and thence along the battlements on the
Thirty.fourth street side to safety on the
roofs of houses TO the east. This passage
was attended by much danger, owing to
the icy condition of the roofs. Six alarms
were turned in for the fire, but in spite OF
quick response the armory was soon
doomed to ruin. The prevailing gale made
it impossible to check the flames.

Considering the re- strictions on the use of the city water works for the purpose of sprinkling it would be good idea for the business men to start the sprinkler.

Steamer City of Pittsburg Burns Near Cairo With
 Great Loss of Life.
Men, Women and Children Perish in the Flames and Find Watery
 Grave.

The City of Pittsburg, one of the finest boats in Ohio and Lower Mis- sissippi service, was burned to the waters edge at an early hour yes terday morning at point about twenty-five miles above Cairo, Ill.,, on the Ohio River.
 For ten hours after the disaster there was no relief, the rescued and injuried lying on the bank, mean while, with inadq quate clothing and without medical attention. Conflicting estimates received from the scenes of the accident and from near by cities indicate that the loss of life will run from fifty to sixty, about evenly divided between pas- sengers and crew. Many of the missing are unidentified and most of the saved are injured either by burn ing or from exposure.
 Several of those rescued died from exhaustion soon after they were brought ashore. Among these was Captain Sylvester Doss of Cincin- natl, an old pilot, who was making the river trip on a pleasure journey At the same time he was engaged in writing book on Famous River Disasters.
 Accounts from the survivors indl- cate that the most pitiful scenes att tended the burning of the vessel. There were many children on board i, all asleep at the time the fire broke out. The vessel was at once headed for the shore, but the damage was done ia such short time that the passengers had no time to dress nor to give attention to the frightened and stampeded children, most of whom were lost while pitifully cry ing for help.
 The burned boat had reputation among river men as being a "hoo- doo." She had suffered many minor accidents and reverses since she was launched in 1889. She was owned in Plttsbure and was full insured.

SMALLPOX.
A Sporadic Case in Charge of the
 Board of Health.

A man by the name of Burns was discovered few days ago with a we'll developed case of smallpox, which it is said he took CD at Holly- wood. Rurns was boarding with the family of J. H. Clark on Depot street when the discovery was made.
 Dr. Scott, president of the board of health had tent built on vacant lot in East Paragould, where the case was put under quarantine. This offended the residents of the neigh borhood where the quarantine was established, and after some effort Dr. Scott procured vacant lot from Jake Lambert to which the patient was removed. The case is now under strict quarantine, which will be maintained until it is discharged by Dr.. Scott.
 Mr. Clarke, his wife and two chil- dren and two men who were boarders in the house were exposed and will be held as suspects, under strlcs quarantine until danger is past.
