NOISY IN THE HOUSE.
O'DrieD Questions Premier BaIfOur
Regarding ROOseveIt's Letter.


Regarding ROOseveIt's Letter.
London, Oct. 22.-William O'Brien
created a great deal of excitement
among his fellow Nationalist in the
House of Commons to-day by question
ing Premier Balfour regarding Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to the conven-
ton of the United Irish League at
Boston. Mr.. O'Brien asked the pre-
mier if he had observed that Mr..
Roosevelt sent a letter, and, whether
in view of future friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain he could make any announce
ment that this country was not dis
posed to learn wisdom regarding Irish
affairs from the head of a great and
friendly nation.
The Speaker promptly ruled the ques-
ton out of order, to the evident cha
grin of the Nationalist, whose excite
ment increased as Mr.. O'Brien contin-
ued to press his point. He urged that
this letter of President Roosevelt was
an international fact of the first impor-
lance to the future of Great Britain.
and that it would not be a friendly
thing to the head of a great nation
that his letter should be treated as if
the House of Commons was disposed
to "avenge an insult to the chief secre-
tary for Ireland and his removables. "
The Speaker maintained his ruling
and Mr.. OBrien tried to move an ad-
Journment of the House to discuss the
matter but the Speaker ruled that it
was not a matter of definite impor-
lance. Thus foiled. MIR. O'Brien said
he hoped it would be noted in America
that American as well as Irish opin-
ion was gagged.

Responsible for Accident to FRESH

Railroad Commissioners Find Him
Responsible for Accident TO FRESH
dent.
Boston, Oct. 22.-In a report upon the
accident in which President Roosevelt's
bodyguard William Craig. was killed
and the President and Secretary Cor
telyou were injured, at Pittsfield last
month, made public to-day, the Board
of Railroad Commissioners find that
the responsibility for the accident rests
with the mortorman of the electric car
which ran into the Presidents vehicle.
Euclid Madden was the motorman.
His name is not mentioned i'm the re-
port The commissioners find that
the car was going at reckless speed
and hold that the management of the
street railway was at fault in not es-
tablishing rules to regulate the speed
of cars at a dangerous point like that
at which the accident happened. The
report says
THE mortorman had good reasons
to believe that the effort which he
was plainly making to reach the
Country Club before the carriage met
with the approval of passengers, in
GLIDING a prominent director of the
company"

UNIONIST ELECTED.
He Gets Parliamentary Seat by Very
Close Majority.

London, Oct. 22.-The following re-
suit is announced of the by-election to
fill the seat in the House of Commons
for Davenport rendered vacant by the
death of E. ]. c. Morton LiberaD:
Mr.. Locke, Unionist, 3,7S5; Mr.. Bras
sey. Radical, 3,757.
Both sides made strenuous efforts
during the campaign and the polling
was attended by much excitement. The
result was received in the House of
Commons with cheers from the Con-
servatives.
This Unionist victory in a consti-
tuency which has returned two Liberal
members in all contests since 1892, will
be very welcome to the government, al
though it only obtained a small ma
jority, because it will be regarded as a
popular Endorsement of the govern
ment's education and Irish policies,
both having figured prominently in the
election campaign. The borough also
contains a considerable Irish popula-
ton. The Liberals had confidently
counted upon the return of Lord Bras
sey's son.

A DOCK FIRE.
Grain Vessel Causes Disaster On
Buffalo Wharves.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 22.-Fire tonight
destroyed the freight shed of the I'm
ion Steamboat Company on the Ma
rine slip, near the foot of Michigan
street One of the big Lehigh Valley
propellers, which was unloading grain
at the marine elevator, directly oppo-
site the sheds, was pulled away from
the dock with her upper works ablaze,
and it was with great difficulty that
other vessels succeeded in escaping the
flames which swept across the slip and
to the opposite side of Buffalo river.
A downpour of rain, which began soon
after the fire started, probably saved
a disastrous conflagration along the
water front. The total loss is esti-
mated at SIS 900

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Four of the five
bodies taken to the morgue from the
fire in the plant of the Glucose Sugar
Refining Company last night have been
identified.
1t is almost certain that several more
bodies are lying in the ruins, but the
heat of the debris has prevented fire
men from making any search to-day,
and the exact number is not known.
Seventeen time checks were not re-
turned to the superintendent during the
day, but five of the men holding checks

switchman declares that he saw
four men slide down a water pipe, and
it is known that one man jumped into
the river and made his escape. This
diminishes the death list to twelve,
granting that all the holders of the
missing checks were killed with the
exception of men who have been seen
to-day.
The total loss was 100000 fully in
sured.
The fact that there was but one fire
escape on the building has determined
several city officials to order an in
vestigation to determine whether any
blame lies with the city building in
spectors.

BOTH COMING AND GOING,

It is reported that movement IS OF
foot IN the financial department, OF the
city to overhaul the physicians, lawyers
dentists, and members of kindred protes-
sions in the matter OF the payment o.
license taxes. What particular shape the
move will take remains to be seen. l ne
physicians, lawyers, etc, are classified
and graded, in so far as the letter of the
law is concerned Ike all other busl-
nesses Section S of chapter ID Of the
t;icnmonc City Ordinances, provides for
them as follows:
Il physicians. lawyers, dentists. artists,
veterinary surgeons, and measurers or m
| spectors of lumber shall be divided into
elk classes and pay 4 license tax, If in
class first of 500; second. s15; third, soc;
fourth, SEQ; fifth So sixth. $40.
The method of grazing the respective
tax-payers under these several ciassih-
cations by all accounts is very arbi-
trary one The committee having the
matter in charge select those they think
ought to go into the respective classes
and put them there, nolens volens.
Speaking on the subject for MS p1o1es-
sional brethren last night prominent
physician said that the system was a
very arbitrary one and amounted to I'M
posing 2 double income tax. The city
first imposes a tax of l per cent on in
comes and then levied license tax sup
posed to be graded according to the same
income.
