Friends OF the union station bill pro-

propriations Committee Will meet the

ferees arI that the bill viii pass in
that form.

chusetts Avenue site The House re-
duced this to $1,000. 600 each.
In conference the Senate representa-
tfves offered to split the difference, Civ
ing each road $I.250. 900. and $4,000 ad-
dItfonal for the Pennsylvania as part

CHARGE OF COLLISION
I,ESSI ,ER PROTESTS IS FALSE
QUAY LOSING GRIP
ON STATEHOOD WHIP
Combination Which Favored Admission of Terri
tories Said to Be DSintegratlng

The President Of the Senate must de-
eide whether Senator Quay has the right
to hold the floor IN the morning hour at
the conclusion of the morning routine
business.
The Senator attempted to take the
floor at 12:4O today for discussion Of
the omnibus Statehood bill. He was op-
posed by Senator AIdricb under TIE claim
that r1ile I of the Senate made It neces-
sary for him to obtain unanimous con-
sent.
President pro tempore Frye announced
that he would be pleased to hear Sena-
tor AIdrich on the subject, when Sena-
tor Quay withdrew his motion in order
to permit Senator Scott to de. ver a
speech on his joint resolution proposing
a change in the present pension laws. p
Nevertheless the question viii coma
up again tomorrow, when 1t must be de-
cided. It is important inasmuch as it
viii decide whether the discussion Of
the Statehood bill viii preclude the pas
sage Of ali other matters.
Senator BuTnham today resumed his
speech in opposition to the Statehood
bill
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-01-27

It Is the program Of the opponents Of
the measure for Senator Lodge to follow,
with Senator Bard next on the rostrum.
Senator Kean also has a speech prepaT
ed antagonistic to the bill.
Word was passed this morning that the
day had arrived for Senator Quay 70
make his attempt to force a night ses-
sion. It was learned that Senator Quay
had sent notice for all Statehood Sena-
tors to be here today.
Senator Beveridge is quoted as saying
that II this action is taken the other
side would be ready to proceed.
Emphatic denial has been made by the
Democrats to the charge that disinte-
grafton is beginning in the combination
favoring the admission Of Arizona and
New Mexico. The charge. however, has
not been made by the members of the
Committee on Territories having charge
of the bill. and therefore the defense is
generally regarded an unfavorable sign
amounting almost to a contrary admis-
sion. It is now believed more firmly
than before that Senator Quay is cx-
: periencing difficulty in holding his votes

DEALERS RESENT
DEMANDS OF BUYERS
In Accord With Movement
to End Commissions.

The chief subject of conversation in
market circles today was the publica-
ton in The Times yesterday OF the res
-olu64eE adopted by the Retail Butchers
ana Meat Dealers Protective Assoeia-
ton. condemning the practice Of paying
commissions 10 the purchasers for ho-
tells, restaurants and private families
The acknowledgment on the part OF the
dealers that such a practice exists and
their appeal TO The public to assist them
in stamping it out was the first expIana-
tion Of the prevailing high prices in this
city for all kinds OF provisions.
IN charging that the practice forced
all dealers TO rob the customer 10 pay
the steward. the association but gave
expression TO condition which the in
dividuaI dealer has been helpless to re-
sist. It has simply been a question Of
competing with other dealers in paying
commissions for trade or getting out Of
the business.
For years considerations have been Of
fered buyers for the large hotels for
the trade which they controlled, but it
Is cnly within the past few years that
-'enteTprisiug" dealers have sought out
the buyers for even small families and
offered them a liberal consideration for
any business that they might be able
10 control. The practice once started
other dealers were compelled 10 adopt
the same course or abandon the trade.
One Of the features Of the bushes:
which has provoked the seveFest cFiti-
cIsm is the hardship it has imposed OF
those unable TO pay the prevailing ex-
cessive prices. All sales are based upoI
retail price which is general through
ont the market. Those who purchase il
considerable quantities demand dis
count, and it is on this very class o
business that the commissions have Z
be paid In handling produce. therefore
the dealer has 10 figure the commission

his prices sufficiently high TO cover this
commission, his legitimate business ex

AMERICA PEACEMAKER
IN ACRE IMBROGLIO
Brazilian and Bolivian Representatives
Seek Our Good Offices.

The Brazilian minister and the BoIiv-
ian charge d'affaires again called at the
State Department today and had sepa-
rate talks with Secretary Hay relative to
the dispute Of their government over
the possession of the territory of Acre.
It is more than tacitly admitted that
Secretary Hay is endsavoring to play the
role of peacemaker between Brazil and
Bolivia; but whether he Will be success
fuI at present seems doubtful. State De-
Partment officials say that both of the
South American governments are paruc-
ularIy desirous to have the sympathy oi
the United States in The Acre dispute
and each hesitates to proceed to the ex-
treme Of war without knowing the exact
status of the feeling of the United
States.

The climax Of the meeting of the get
coal" convention al the Shoreham Hotel
was reached this morning when, in a
burst of eIoquence and with dramatic
emphasis, Representative John Wesley
Gaines of Tennessee exclaimed that it
was not inadequacy of the laws. but the
inactivity of those intrusted with their
enforcement, which was responsible TOT
the suffering incident to the coal famine.
IF this inactivity continues, he de-

which had led to the present call. He
then introduced Senator ". E Mason

In his opening remarks Senator Masor

LONDON. Jan. 27-Fire broke out in
Colney Hatch. six and one-half miles
north of London. at $50 o'clock this
morning. and Iasted-natlI sa1as--AE-Iast-
account Il was estimated that ffty-four
persons had lost their lives.
The fire destroyed the entire Jewish
wing Of Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum.
The efforts Of the fremen were direct
ed to saving and calming the patients,
Tho. naturally. were intensely excited.
Five wooden buildings were burned out.
Many dead bodies have already been dis
covered. The exploration Of the ruins is
stin going on.
Six Hundred Sleeping Patients.
The principal building burned was that
known as the anaex. It was built Of iron
and wood. There were nearly 800 women
asleep at the time. a high wind famed
the flames, which were blown about like
biIIows. The flames quickly spread, and
the whole building was soon roaring
furnace. The well Of the asylum was out
Of order aud the water supply was very
poor.
Altogether five buildings, including the
dayrooms, dormitories and doctors
+ apartments, were burned. The task of re-
moving the patients, who were greatly
/ excited, was one of great difficulty.

thirty and fifty failed to answer. It is
known, however, that some OF the
Iunatics are still wandering through the
gTo6Rds
cause Of the disaster is unknown.
Anxious friends OF the patients are ar
irving from all quarters. The officials
are enCeavoring to complete the list OF
lost.
The five buildings were each fifty by
forty feet They we're built Of we'll
dried. seasoned wood, and had corrugas-
ed zinc roof They were connected with
the main building bg a long corridor.
These buildings were heated by hot va
ter pipes from a stoke house at the
bottom of the slope, whence the flames
Ieaped with terrible rapidity.
Inmates Driven Out bysFOrce.
When the fire broke out there was a
mad rush through the corridors. Several
OF the inmates were driven to places Of
safety by sheer force, The intensity Of
the heat was such that many of the bod
les we're almost entirely consumed.
Many of the patients rOamed through
the grounds attired only in their night
clothes. It is feared that two Of the
nurses lost their lives.
There were many heartrending scenes
outside the asylum gates when relatives
and friends of the inmates came to IN
quiTe about the patients.
The buildings which we're destroyed
accommodated 800 patients.
London Thrilled With Horror.
London is thrilled with horror at the
disaster, and every new detail piles up
/ the agony. It seems that nothing was
provided for such an emergency. There
were no escapes to the buildings and
practically no water available. which
made the asylum a hopeless death trap.
There we're $500 inmates in the entire

women. having harmless vagaries and
