TANGLED WIRES
 RESULT OF STORM
Philadelphia Cut Of From Communi-
 cation With Outside World.

New York. Feb. e2.-MaiI advices from Philadelphia say that that city Is as completely shut off from electri- cal communication with the outside world as though such a thing as a tel egraph wire or telephone wire never existed. The storm was the most dis astrous sleet storm, as far as wires are concerned, that has ever visited that section. Within the city limits scarcely a single overhead wire is in working order. Poles are down in all directions. and wires are dangling from housetops on nearly every street.
 On Front street, which skirts the Delaware river. thirty big poles on one line were broken off and are lying in the street. This is but one route- There are dozens of routes leading into the city, and almost all arc badly crip- pied. Officials of the telegraph com panies say that it will be fully a week before all the routes are even in fair working condition. The damage 60 wires apparently is much worse than that inflicted by the memorable biiz- gard of 1888. although the storm does not cover nearly so much territory.
 Four persons were killed in Phida- delphia yesterday and last night Dy coming in contact with heavily charged wires. At least twenty-five horses were killed during the day by broken wires.
 Late last ni-ht a street railway company operating all the lines. was compelled to abandon its service, and at midnight the efforts of officials were devoted entirely to getting the cars then on the street back into the car sheds. By this morning. however, they had succeeded in clearing the wires sufficiently to permit the running of few cars on each line.
 Hundreds of men are at work clear ing wires. and until they are con viuced that all danger from contact with the electric light wires is past, the officials of the various telegraph companies will not attempt to operate their wircs-

SPANISH RIOTS
 STILL GOING ON

received here assert that calm has been restored at Barcelona, Saragossa and Valencia. but the newspaper telegrams report the situation as still serious. The rioters at Barcelona are devoting their energies to preventing food supplies from entering the town. In one such case the troops escorting a convoy were obliged to fire on the rioters, several of whom were killed or wounded. A serious conflict also occurred today in the center of the town.
 The efforts of the captain general to persuade the dock laborers to resume work have failed and the entire trade of Barcelona is at standstill. The revolutionary proclamations are still being circulated there.

New York. Feb. 22-For the third time since New Years day. Park ave nue. in this city. has been the scene of a loss of human life. The first was . collision in the New York Central tun- mel at Fifty-siXth street and Park ave nue: the second came in the dynamite explosion in the Rapid Transit subway on the avenue and Forty-first street. and the third today in the fire which started in the Seventy-first regiment armory on Thirty-third street and spread to the Park Avenue hotel, where eighteen persons were killed and many injured.
 It was the worst hotel fire since the Windsor was destroyed. The fire was first seen about 30 in the morning in the armory and in remarka bly, shorT time that building was afame from end to end. The firemen made their way the best they could, with the streets deep with slush, and did all pos sible to confine the fire to the armory. hEt after nearly an hour the discovery fvts made that the hotel was fire. fcame toNattend the festivities in honor of Prince Henry. More than 800 per sons were in the house.
 The fire was confined principally to the fifth and sixth floors near the eie- Vator air shaft. About the time the hotel was found on fire the lights went out. and the corridors were filled with smoke. The guests, unable to find their way through the darkencd railways. jumped from windows or ran directly into the flame swept portions os the Building. II is this fact that accounts for the large loss of life, although the hotel was not destroyed.
 The following persons lost their lives in the fire or died from injuries:

Washington, Feb. 22--Washington' s birthday was signalized in the United States senate by a fist fight.
 The two senators from South Caro- lima were the active participants in the affray. Mir. Tillman, in the course of his speech upon the Philippine tariff bill, made serious reflections upon the honor of his colleague. MT. McLaurin. Tn Erief, he charged that his vote in support of the ratification of the treaty of Paris had been cast through the exercise of improper influences MT. McLaurin was not in the chamber at the time. being engaged in committee work, but he was sent for, and ap- pcared just as Mir. Tillman concluded his speech.
 Pale as sheet. MT. McLaurin rose to address the senate. speaking to a ques- ton of personal privilege. He reviewed Mir. Tillman's charges briefly and then denounced the statement made by his colleague as a "willful, malicious and deliberate lie.'
 Scarcely had the words fallen from his lips when Mir. Tillman, sitting a few seats from him, with MT. Teller of Colorado between them, sprang al him. Mir. McLaurin, who was hall turned toward MT. Tillman. met him hali way. and in an instant the two senators, having swept MT. Teller aside were engaged in a rough and tumble fight. NJ. McLaurin received a heavy

blow on the forehead. while MT TiIi- man got a punch on the nose whicn brought blood
 Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Taylor sprang over the desks to reach the com batants and he himself received several blows. He got between them finally and by main strength wrenched them apart.
 Senators Warren of Wyoming and Scott of West Virginia. two of the most powerful men in the senate. leaped to his assistance, and. pinioning the arms of the belligerent senators. forced them into their seats. Intense excitement prevailed in the senate and the gal leries. which were thronged with people W ho had been attracted by the spirited debate.
 Everybody was on his feet Not word, however. was spoken The sen ators stood about the chamber, for the moment helpless and pale to the lips. Finally order was restored partially. and in the midst of intense excitement the senate went into secret legislative session.
 For two hours the senators discussed the event behind closed doors When the doors were opened it was made sena tors. by a unanimous vote. had been declared to be in contempt of the senate. They were permitted. by a vote of the senate, to make apologies to the senate.

THE CHAMPION WON'T HURRY

Springfield. Ohio. Feb. 22..."I will de- fcnd the title to the championship against anybody in the world. but mo- body can force me to fight till I am ready. and I think the public will let me know when it is time to figh: again." said Young CCrbett tonight as he read the Associated Press bulletin announcing the victory of Terry Me Govern at Louisville.
 'I am glad McGovern won. I think it disposes of his claim that he was not in condition when he fought me at Hartford last Thanksgiving. I beat him in two rounds, and he asserted that he was not in condition. Now 1t takes fifteen rounds for him to put Dave Sul- livan out. and Sullivan was never better than a fourth rater. I beat Me Govern fair and was the first man that ever made him break grounds. I can do it again any time. but l am not going to be forced to fight

he uttered the last word Sullivan stsrted ia rise. bu. did not get higher than a low crouch. The instant his knee was off the floor McGovern came after him. and Sullivan, hardly know Ing what he was about. went down again.
 The referee promptly declared him cut and McGovern the victor. Sulli- van attempted to question the decision. but FitZsimmons would not listen to him. After the fight Fitzsimmons said: Sullivan was down more than ten sec ondr before he tried to rise. He was on his knee fully five seconds before I began to count, and had he stood up when ] said nine ani been saved by the gong. I would still have declared him ont. He was down and out for keeps"
 Preceding the fight challenges b the winner were received from Eddie Gardner. Austin Rice, Harry Harris. Young Corbett and Abe Attell. Sam Harris McGovern's manager, said Me Governs next fight would be with Young Corbett. if the latter held to his challenge.

BOTH WERE GOING
 M'GOVERN STAYED
The Northampton Had a Hard
 but Winning Fight
His Desperate and Successful Eff fort to Stay in the Front Rank by the Defeat of Dave Sullivan.

Louisville, Ky. Feb. 22.-Tcrry Me Govern defeated Dave Sullivan tonight in the arena of the Southern Athletic club in fifteen rounds of as desperate fighting as was ever seen. From the first tap of the gong until the end, it was slap-bang, hammer and tongs, nearly every second. both men work ing away with all the energy they possessed. McGovern. knowing that the fight meant his position in the front ranks as q fighter, was after his man every second. In a majority of the rounds he was on the aggressive. and Sullivan was forced to do far more de- fensive work than his opponent.
 He put up wonderful fight, how ever. was game to the core and ios- the fight more through q blunder of his own than because he was knocXed out. When the finish cane. however. he was groggy and going fast. The chances are that he would not have lasted many more rounds. even had he risen to his feet before Fitzsimmons called ten.
 In the fifth round Sullivan was at his best, He forced the fighting, es- pecially in the last half and had Me Govern plainly going. The latter walked in very unsteady fashion as he went to his corner. and nothing
 
 enabled him to come out in shape for the sixth round. He came out strong. however. and although there were times when Sullivan seemed about to turn the tide his way again. from that time on McGovern kept steadily. but very slowly gaining the upper hand. He fought ever forward. and Sullivan was gradually but surely going back ward. Sullivan was badly punished. his left ear split open. his lips cracked, his nose well pounded up and his right eye partly closed. The latter hap pened early in the fight. ana McGovern paid particular attention to it through out.
 During the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth rounds Sullivan was slowly going. McGovern was at him like a wild cat every instant. He gave him no rest and Sullivan was, whenever possible. hanging on for his life.
 The end came when the fifteenth round was nearly over. McGovern had forced Sullivan into corner. He landed a storm of right and left swings and, catching Sullivan with the left square on the jaw, sent him down on his back. Sullivan was up like d flash, but did not rise from his knees. He was confused, groggy and nearly out. Fitzsimmons counted nine and as

 Become a Favored Nation
Fixed by the Republican Members of the Ways and Means Committee. The Action Is Regarded as Vic tory for Those Favoring Treaty.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The republi- can members of the ways and means committee. who have been considering the question of concessions to Cuba at several meetings during the week finally reached an agreement this after noon which is considered victory for those who favored q tarif concession to that island.

 By the terms of this resolution the proposition agreed on by the repub- Ecan members of the committee will be submitted to a republican caucus. to be held next Tuesday This action is practically the proposition submitted d few days ago by Representative Long of Kansas. except the amount of the concession is cut in half. and the coz dition precedent, that Cuba enact our immigration laws, is added. The ac- ton by the committee this afternoon was preceded by q conference at the White house between the president and Representatives Grosvenor of Ohio. Aiessrs. Russell of Connecticut and Dalzell of Pennsylvania, all of whoIh have heretofore stood out against any form of reciprocity provisions. The action of the republican members was unanimous.
