FIFTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.

Summary of Daily Proceedings I'm
the Senate and House.
The session of the senate on the I'd
was occupied in discussing the Panama
canal question and James P. Clarke, the
new democratic senator from Arkansas,
in a speech Endorsed every position
taken by the president in connection
with the Panama revolt. The commit
tee on appropriations reported in favor
of loan of $4,600000 to the st. Louis
worlds fair. In the house the resident
commissioner from Porto Rico was
given authority equal to that of a dele
gate from a territory and he introduced
bill to declare the citizens of Porto
Rico citizens of the United States.
In the United States senate on the
Sd the proposed appropriation for loan
of $4,600,000 to the st. Louis exposition
was attacked in debate full of sarcasm
and thrusts. A mass of correspondence
was received from the president con-
corning Colombian affairs. In the house
bills were introduced providing for an
increase in salaries for postal clerks in
first and second class offices and for
the reorganization of the consular serv-
ice.
The proposed loan to the ST Louis
exposition of $4,6OO,O 900 was up for dis
cussion in the senate on the 4th, but
instead the senators INDUCED in po-
litical debate. In the house the diplo-
matte bill. carrying 1888, 900. was
passed, and the agricultural appropri-
alton bill, carrying total of $5,711 ,24O,
was reported.

New Canning Factories.

The Gulf & Ship Island road ex-
poets to establish no less than a doz-
Ell canning factories along its line
within the next few months, and a
promoter has been employed to or
ganize stock companies among the
citizens Of the various towns along
the line, the railroad taking a good
portion of the stock in each enter
prise thus launched. The truck
farming industry is being given a
simultaneous encouragement, and
the towns along the road will be an
important factor in the early fruit
and vegetable market during the
spring and summer. 81.

Blocks of Buildings With
Irresistible Force.

Baltimore, Md, Feb 8, a. m. Mon
day-At this hour the fire is utterly
beyond control and the residential dis
tricts are in imminent danger.
The burned area is three-quarters of
a mile long and from two to eight
blocks wide. More than fifty blocks of
business buildings have been con-
sumed.
The Monumental theater is burning
and the fire has reached Jones Falls
Directly opposite lies the old residen-
tial section of the city. 1t is thought
nothing can save it.
The f1remen are absolutely power
less to- stay the sweeping of the
flames. Almost all the telegraph Of
fees are burned and the city will soon
be cut off.
While it may be days before an ap-
proximate estimate of the damage can
be made, it is believed that the loss al
ready aggregates $100,000,O0O.

Killed for One Dollar.

Because Sherman Fox would not
pay a debt of one dollar he was shot
and killed, last week near Arkabutla,
in Tate county, by companion
named Andrew Brown. The latter
had been empowered to collect the
debt, which it is claimed Fox owed
to negro woman, and Brown was
urging immediate payment, declar-
ing that if it was not settled by the
following day he would kill Fox.
The parties met the next morning,
and true to his word Brown shot Fox
down, death resulting instantly. He
is now in jail at Senatobia.

Inc financial district, including
banking and brokerage firms on South
and German streets, seems to be now
doomed, and scores of the city's lead
ing. financiers and business men are
scurrying in and out Of their Offices,
bearing packages or placing valuables
in conveyances.
During all these hours the pyrotech-
mic display has been magnificent and
imposing beyond the power of painter
to depict. Vast columns of seething
flame are shooting skyward at varying
points of the compass and the firma-
ment is one vast prismatic ocean Of
golden and silver-hued sparks. Great
multitudes of people line the streets,
awestruck with the panorama which
is being enacted before their eyes.
Absolutely Beyond Control.
At 10:4O o'clock the roof of the
building occupied by the Associated
Press took fire, and the employees were
compelled to vacate, though they had
time to take away with them their
telegraph instruments, typewriters and
other valuable equipment. They found
refuge in a branch office of the West
ern Union Company, on Gay street.
The prospect is that this office will
have to- be vacated in few minutes,
as the flames are breaking west and
east and volumes of sparks and blaz-
ing cinders and splinters are flying in
every direction. At this hour the fire
is absolutely beyond control and all oc-
cupants of buildings in the center of
the city are rapidly moving their val
uables

Infanticide on the Increase.

The crime of infanticide, hereto
fore somewhat unknown in Missis-
sippi, especially among the whites,
seems to be on the increase. Within
the past week the bodies of two muir
dered babies were found by the
Jackson police, and a similar find is
reported from Aberdeen, where the
dead body of young child was
found in the yard of a citizen living
in the northern part Of town. In
neither of the three instances have
clues been found to the identity of
the perpetrators,

MULES Die with Pneumonia.

The cold weather Mississippi has
been experiencing is proving some
what fatal to live stock, which is un-
used to such extremes of tempera-
ture. Report comes from Laurel
that a carload Of thirty fine mules,
en- route to that place from st. LOU
is, were stricken with pneumonia,
and twelve of the number died dur
ing the journey, while the others are
in bad fix. 1t is claimed by the
.consignee that the mules were al
lowed to lay over day in the stock
yards at East st. Louis while the
thermometer at that place was near
the zero mark.
