A MINORITY REPORT
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF TRANS
 PACIFIC CABLE.
Paper Was Prepared by Richardson of Alabama and Among It's Signers is Chairman Hep
 burn of Committee.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-(Special )-Rep- resentative Richardson of Alabama today filed a minority report from the Hous:, Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, in which 1t is recommended that the Trans-Pacific cable be laid by private parties
 MT. Richardson framed the report at the request of Chairman Hepburn of Iowa. Those who signed it are Hepburn or Iowa, Sherman of New York and Adamson of Georgia.
 The principal reasons, says the minority report, for the private ownership of the cable as against Government ownership are the fact that the private cable Is already under way; the project would cost the Government s15,0oO003 and the private company has agreed to make a contract to sell their cable, when com- p!eted, tr the Government at a valua- ton fixed by three uninterested parties. The majority report. filed recently rec or9mended the Government construction of the cable. It was signed, among oth- CTS, by Davy of Louisiana and Davis of Florida, both Democrats. Shackleford of Missouri refused to sign either, and says he will propose an amendment.

LETTER FROM BoERS.
They Thank Congressman Cochran
 for His Efforts.

Washington, / Feb. 1S.-Representative Cochran of Missouri two weeks ago fn- troduced a resolution inviting Paul Kru- ger to visit the United States as the guest of this country. Yesterday MT Cochran received a letter signed by three members of the Boar dele gation quarter cd at Brussels, thanking him and all who are supporting his efforts for the noble interest they are taking in the two Boer republics.
 The letter reviews from the Boar stand point the causes which led up to the war and declares that Great Britain invented pretext after pretext to bring on the conflict, and that her whole purpose was to secure the extensive gold mines Of the Transvaal in pursuance of a settled na- tional policy to control all gold mines wherever possible. either by purchase or seizure in order that Great Britain might command the worlds industries. The letter. in closing, appeals to Heroic and generous America" to intervene in behalf of the Boers, and says: Since England will not permit friendly intervention, in- vite her to a congress of the nations and see whether such congress could. in the interest of peace, would be ignored. England would not dare to refuse to at- tend such a congress if called by the United States and participated in by four or five of the powers.
 "The maxims of your republic-equality. justice, liberty-have been the chief means of building the great republic, and it's highest purpose should be the preser- vation of other lands whose people as- pire to similar blessings. We shall con- tinue to hope that you and other mem- bers of your Congress. whose hearts have been touched by the noble sacrifices and brave deeds of the people of our repub- lies, may prevail upon your great country to undertake the termination of the war in South Africa"

FAVORED BY ALDRICH
HE APPROVES OF REVENUE RE.
 DUCTIoN BILL.
Hanna, However, Believes That . Large Surplus Should Be Main tained and the Senate VIII r
 Not Act Hastily.

Washington. Feb, 1s.--lSpeciai.) )--sena- tor AIdfich. .hairman of the Finance Committee. is inclined to view the House war tax reduction bill in it's present form and provisions with favor. With no un- favorable turn in Government receipts and the prospect of the appropriation bills not exceeding the present estimate, Senator Aldrich sees no reason why the full amount of the reduction proposed by the House should not be acquiesced in by the Senate.
 In this opinion, several Republican Sem ators of prominence share. One reason that influences their attitude is the de- sirability of getting rid of the war tax question entirely: putting an end to fur ther importantly and worry upon that point.
 Senator Hanna does not agree with those who hold that view. He thinks the public needs require the maintenance of a large surplus, and to that end the tax ation should be continued.
 There will be no haste in acting upon the war tax bill in the Senate. It is said Senator Aldrich thinks it wiser to with hold action for the present until more definite approximation of the appropria- tons and the probable surplus can be made.
 The reductions would not take effect un- til July l. and within the next sixty days the prospects for the succeeding fiscal year can be better estimated.

AFTER SCALP

 Sneraps Usurpati0n. Sent Inspector to Investigate the Private Character of Prospective Applicant for . Job-Bris- tow is Penitent.
CAUSE O's HE COMPLAINT

Washington, Feb 1s-(Special.)-An of- fcial sensation expected soon is the ferced resignation of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow.
 Senator Scott of West Virginia Is ex- ceedingly active in pushing grave charges against the man who appoints the fourth class postmasters. and 1t Is said some- thing will drop isoon It may be that severe reprimand will be the only out come of the affair. but there are those who predict the retirement of MT Bris- tow.
 Senator Scott filed his charges some time ago. It is we'll known in official circles that his complaint lies In the fact that a postoffice inspector was sent into the Senator's district recently to inves- tigate the private character of prospec- tive candidate for a postmastership. The Senator believes MT. Bristow ordered the ins pector to do the job. He has charac' terized the official act as the grossest usurpation of authority he has ever en- countered, and he declares he will not rest until he has seen the offending As- sistant Postmaster General punished. Senator Scott IS ngnter, ana when ne made the declaration, official Washington began to look to see what would happen. Now 1t is said the Fourth Assistant has admitted sending the inspector. admitted he was wrong in so doing. and simply says he had no official ground for his act.
 The President has the charges under consideration and has conferred with Postmaster General Payne. Senator Scott Is backed in his fight by the entire West Virginia delegation. Milt Saul.

SHUT OFF BY FLAMES
A LARGE LOSS OF LIFE NAB
 RoWLY AVERTED.
Great Treadwell Mines Catch Fire and the Men in the Shafts Escape Death Only by
 superhuman Efforts.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1S.-The great Treadwell Mines on Douglass Island were assailed by fire on Tuesday, February Il. and large loss of life was prevented by the almost superhuman attempts of everybody who could reach the scene to stay the progress of the flames. The steamer Dirego, reaching port this morn- ing brought particulars of the fire.
 The Alaskan-American compressor building was entirely destroyed. Thirty eight thousand dollars worth of stamps and mill plates and 120 stamp mill with the engine room were saved. More than 100 miners were in the lower workings and in imminent danger of death.
 H. c. Hall. superintendent of the Mexican Compressor, discovered flames issuing from one corner of the huge structure. The flames gained headway rapidly and before even the hose in the compressor room could be brought into service the entire interior of the building was a mass of flames. From the com pressor the fire spread to the hoist and tramway and before warning could be
 
 shaft house was on fire and the lower end of the 120 stamp mill was burning furiously.
 The tremen confined their efforts to the mills adjacent to the compressor build ing, and though their clothing frequently caught fire and their hands and faces were badly blistered. they finally got the fire under control after several buildings had been destroyed.
 In the meantime the flames in the shaft had been burning rapidly and Swans Barquist, one of the men working on the 300 foot level, was the first to gain knowl- edge of the fire above He shouted warning to the miners on the 40 foot level.
 After some delay an old gallery com municating between the new and old workings was discovered and after hard struggle in the smoky, gas-laden levels the men reached the bottom ot the pit in safety. In the meantime with the help of additional fire apparatus from Douglass the fire had been confined to the compressor building shaft, shaft house and a nearby mill building These were destroyed. Then the Dirego left for the south she was not certain that all the men in the mine had escaped, but the mine officials believe they did.

 On the other hand Pittsburg was car ried by those opposing the State and city administrations. the independent Repub- licans having formed coalition with the Democrats under the head of the Citizens Party. In the other cities as stated local issues were fought out Scranton elected P. w. Postello, Democrat. for mayor. Wilkesbarre elected a Republi- can mayor. Charles H. Price. Reading gave 300 majority for Edward heager' Democrat. for mayor.
 At Harrisburg, Vance c. Mccormick the Democratic candidate for mayor is elected by 2,c2O majority. Mccormick is but 29 years of age and was captain of Yale's football team of 1892 At Lam caster the anti-Quay Republicans joined with the Democrats against Chester Cummings the Quay Republican candi- date for mayor. but Cummings was elected by nearly 1,2OO majority.
 At midnight a conservative estamite at Pittsburg indicates that the administra- ton has saved five out of nineteen select men and twelve out of hfty-one common councilmen. Republican City ChalI man T. O. Brown comedies the election of Larkin Citizens, by about 5000 majority but would give no figures on councils.

ADVANCE IN RATES.
Fire Insurance Companies Compelled
 to Take Action.

New York Feb. 1S-The Journal of Commerce tomorrow will say that at d largely attended meeting of fire insur- ance companies held Tuesday afternoon d resolution was adopted providing for an advance in rates throughout the United States east of the Rocky Noun tains with the exception of New YO4 K City and in its immediate vicinity.

Entire Province of Catalonia May Be
 Involved.
