Washington, January 3o.-(special.)-If not the intention, the effect of the ways and Means committee in coming out for a sweeping repeal of the war tax, means nothing other than the cold shoulder to Cuba in the matter of reciprocity. The repeal of the taxes will be welcome. but when it is done to the discredit of the House Republican leaders place them selves in an unenviable light.
 The high protectionists of the Ways and means committee were quick to seize upon Speaker Henderson's suggestion to reduce the war taxes instead of in any As<<<<~%~~~><~ to making the employees of the bureau eligible for tram Ser or retention were overwhelmingly deIeated
 By the terms of the bill the permanent organization will succeed the present temporary organization July 1. 1902, and all employees on the rolls upon the date of the passage of the act will become eligible for transfer to other departments or retention in the permanent organiza- tion. The bill also provides for manu- featuring census in 1905 and for the col  nualy.
 Early in the session a bill was passed for the protection of the lives of miners in the territories. It provides that every mine over 100 feet in depth the mine owners will be required to provide 300 cubic feet of pure air for every fifty miners.
 Mr. Hopkins, chairman of the census committed which reported the census bureau bill said that the committee pre- paration of the bill had been an endeavor to meet the demands of the House, evil denced when the bill was before the House ten days ago.
 MT, Maddox of Georgia interrupted to express the opinion that the proposed col lection of annual statistics upon cotton, under the bill, was in the interest of the spectators.
 q am sorry to hear a gentleman from the south express such an opinion" ob- served MT. Hopkins. "The collection of these statistics will be for the benefit of the planter, manufacturer and la borer"
 MT. Klutz, North Carolina, advocated the passage of the bill, urging the pro- vision for the annual collection of cotton statistics as an especial reason why the bill should command itself to members from cotton-growing states
 MT Gilett Massachusetts, chairman of the civil service commission, opposed the bill which he argued, would keep the friends of members of the Congress in office and initiate against those who in good faith had passed the civil service examination.
 Mr. Pierce, Tennessee, declared that the examination taken by census office em- pIoyes was more severe than the civil service examination.
 Mir Gillett offered, but the House re- jected, an amendment to provide that all new appointments in the census office shall be made in accordance with the re- quirements of the civil service act. and authorizing the President in his discre- tion to classify the employees in the Gen. sus office. An amendment was adopted providing that all employees of the census bureau should be citizens of the United States. The bill passed without division. only il members favoring record vote.
 At 5:1O p. m. the House adjourned.

A Prosperous Concern

Yesterday the directors of the Bull
lion & Exchange bank OF this city held
their annual meeting. The object OF
the meeting was to determine the con-
dition OF affairs and also to look into
the earnings of the institution. The
earrings for the year amounted to &c
per cent, the largest recorded in the
existence OF the concern Last years
earnings figured at IS per cent which
was considered good business. The
bank directors did not declare a di-
vidend on the capital stock but allow
ed the earnings to go into the surplus
fund, which not only gives the people
confidence in the institution, but show:
that the directors consider their earn
ings are better in the bank than II

WATERBURY, CONN, BURNED

Waterbury. Conn. Feb THE mos
disastrous fire in the history OF Wa
Iterbury has occurred. A large section
OF the business part Of the city was
wiped out. shortly after midnight the
fire. which had seemed to be nearly
under control broke out with renewed
energy. A conservative estimate
places the loss at S20O0.0OO. A special
train with fire engine from New Ha-
ven went to the scene.
The manner in which the flames
leaped from one building TO another
and even across the street terrified the
spectators. for it seemed that no earth
~ power could check them. Several
times ii looked as il the firemen had
finally confined the blaze to a certain
district. but each time a cry OF dis
appointment and warning went up
from the thousands of threats and the
! fire was seen to be breaking out else
where.
The fire originated in the upholstery
department Of the third floor Of the
store Of the Reid & Hughes Drygoods
company. at 10s-112 Bank street. The
origin is not known The fire was not
discovered until it had gained tremen-
dous Roadway.
The fire started in a drizzling rain.
with a rapidly rising wind and with
with a rapidly rising wind and with
snow. The wind was at first shifting.
but IL settled toward the east and car
ried destruction with it.
In the panic caused by the fire there
were many rumors of accidents and
fatalities. but at the Waterbury hospi-
tai at o'clock it was said that no
accidents or deaths had been reported
there.
At that hour the fire was still burn
ing though, as viewed from the hos
pital. which is on an eminence com
handing the city. it appeared that its
vigor was abating.
1t is reported that numerous thieves
were operating in houses where they
found the owners absent.
In the first district thousand OF peo-
pie packed the flooded streets. Many |
OF them fell on the icy pavement. |
and many were injured by being tram
