"a liberal and honest government is pro-
ducing an awakening which is sure to

Skilled labor is greatly needed now, and
the demand for skilled workmen and arti-

SLAYER OF WOMEN CAUGHT

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 26.-This
city was visited today by the most de-
structive fire in its history. About
1:3O this morning, flames we're discov-
cred in the cellar of George Joffee's
grocery store, in the Pike building on
Fourth street, between Vine and Wal
nut. An hour later there was an ex-
plosion, supposed to come from liquor
in storage, and the flames soon shot
up through the roof, and from that
time until daylight the fire was not
under control. At 8 this morning the
territory between Vine, Walnut,
Fourth and Baker streets is burning
and there is little prospect of it's con-
troll in that district. AS there are over
four hundred different losses It IS I'm
possible at this time to estimate accu-
rately the total loss. It is believed
to be over three millions. Among the
losses is the United States Express
Co., Adams Express Co., American
Book Co, Telephone building, Pike
theatre, Joffey's grocery and several
other stores and Offices. AS it was
known that about twenty people slept
in the Pike building, there were re
ports of several lives lost, but it is
not confirmed. The only loss of life
SO far as known is John keenan,, night
watchman for the American Book Co.
who was caught while fighting the
fire and fatally injured.
The dicisiOn of the democrats at
their caucus this morning, 10 filibuster
for the remainder of the session if
the republicans pressed the Wagner
Butler election contest, caused consid-
erable tension on both sides when the
house assembled today. The leaders
wre alert and the fight began almost
at the drop of the gavel. After the
chaplain had delivered his invocation
the speaker was about to direct the
clerk to read the journal, when Mr..
Richardson, the democratic leader, In
terrupted him and made the point of
no quorum.
"The constitution requires the pres
ence of quorum to do business" said
he.
The speaker acquiesced, but was
able to count only 167. Thereupon Mr..
Payne. the republican leader, moved a
call Of the house and upon that motion
the democrats forced a roll call.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

How 1t Feels On Fast Train.
guarantee good work.


Mr.. Nagle. an engineer on one OF the
big roads, was asked il there was aLy
certain trick in the running Of fast
trains, says the indianapolis Journal,
and replied:
There is no difference in the rul1-
ming of fast train and the slow one.
There is one thing that man should
remember, though, and that Is not to
get nervous, no matter what turns up
before him. The engineers who run
the flyers must also be men of quick
decision, because little wavering On
their part night cause bad wreck.
Ii it is tie engineers opinion that
the train should be stopped he should
do SO at once, but if he thinks he can
get through, then all right-throw her
open and go through, but don't hest
tate. The success in running fast
trains lies in the one fact Of keeping
your mind on what you are doing and
not getting excited when something
turns up unexpectedly before you. An
engineer must always be on his
guard, for going over the ground at
sixty or seventy miles an hour he must
act quickly when the time comes, as
there is no chance to consider what is
best to do.
"The engine / run makes from ten
to twelve miles faster time than is
ordinarily run. To be able to do this I
have got to know every foot of the
road. For in knowing the track
can tell just where the long stretches
of level road are before / get to them,
and in this way / can calculate just
where I can make up any little time
that might have lost at the beginning
Of the trip. In some places in making
a run will go away ahead of my
schedule, but what I have gained here
/ will lose on some other part of the
road that is not so good,
In making fast runs it is in the
stops and slow-downs where an engine
loses time. You take, for instance, a
train that mas to be brought to dead
standstill;it will require as high as ten
minutes before it can be got well I'M
der way again, and when you are going
sixty miles an hour ten minutes counts
a great DEAL
1T seems singular, but to a person
who is associated with engines all the
time they almost seem alive This is
on account of the sensitive machinery
about them. You can't any more say
what kind of time an engine is going to
make when you start out with 1t than
you can tell how race horse is going
70 run. Some days when you take the
machine out it will worry along, and
you can't get it to running right the
whole trip, and then at other times 1t
will start off perfectly smooth and you
will have no trouble whatever. The
weather has so much to do with the
way an engine works. When the at
mosphere is damp and cold and the
oil is thick the machinery works much
harder than in dry, warm weather
when the oil remains thin Then there
is the difference in coal; some engines
will burn one kind better than another
And the way the wind blows also has
much to do with the speed that Ii

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The
house democratic caucus, today adopt
ed the following resolution: RE
solved that we shall resist by all hon.
orable means at our command, the
unseating of Contestees Butler and the
seating of Contestant Wagner, being
convinced that the republican mana
gers in the house have determined to
disre ard the large majority Of $500
votes by which Contestee Butler was
returned, and disposed of the contest
arbitrarily in blind partisanshio with
out reference to its merits, and to pre-
vent the passage of vicious measures,
which there is every reason for be-
lieving the majority have planned to
push through the house. in the con-
fusion incident to the ending of the
final session of an expiring congress.
We pledge ourselves to stand together
in support Of the demand for the pres
ence of quorum at all times, for the
transaction of business, and a record
ed yea and nay vote upon everything
upon which the house shall act up
to the moment of final adjournment.
