TUESDAY EVENING. FEB. "A, 1906.

FOLLOWING the rebuke which was
administered to the President on the
matter OF the arbitration treaties last
Saturday, it appears that the Senate Is
preparing to give him another. round OF
censure this time because of his famous
constructive recess appointments,
Between the regular and special sessions
of the Senate last year there was no in
terval, but taking advantage OF a "con'
structiye recess Mr.. Roosevelt reap
pointed and then renominatsd MAJOR
General Wood, DIR. Crum, the, colored
collector Of the port of Chsrleston, and
a number of ether officers. His right
TO declare the existence of a recess met
with denial in many quarters, but the
Senate apparently conceded the right
for it confirmed the nominations. Now,
however, the judiciary committee is
about to consider a report declaring the
President had no right to construe a
recess. and the report was written by
Senator Spooner, who was until Satur-
day one Of the Presidents NEST valiant
supporters The Crum case is the one
upon which the report is based, as 1t Is
4 l..
in response to a resolution introduced by
Senator Tillman asking for an opinion
on the right of the President to make
constructive recess appointments. The
report, however, goes further than even
Senator Tillman could have anticipated,
for not only does it deny that the Presl-
dent had any right to declare that re-
cess existed when the TIVE sessions were
merged, but it recommends limitation
be placed upon the Presidents power to
reappoint men whose nominations have
been before the Senate and have not
been confirmed, no matter whether the
reappointment is made in actual or CON
structive recess. Senator Spooner has
not yet submitted the report to the judi
ciary committee. There is considerable
doubt as to what effect the adoption OF
such a report by the Senate would have.
1t would probably be in the form of a
resolution, and might be accepted as
merely guide foE future action though
IN some quarters it is held that if such a
resolution is adopted it will invalidate
the recess commission of General Wood
and give him rank as Major General
only from the date Of mis- confirmation.
Many other officers would be set back in
grade in the sane way.

PREsIDEST RoosEvELT's speech in
New York last night was guarded, and
he said nothing that any one cares to
challenge. His references to the south
contained nothing to which this section
was not fully entitled, and were no more
pregnant of the feeling that should pre-
vail than was uttered on southern soil
by the late President Mckinley. Why
should there be any north, south, east
or west in country where all pay their
quota to keep up a government for the
people? The President said nothing ~
regard to the negro problem that had
not been stated and recapitulated time
over and again during the past forty
years. Education, equal rights before
the law or any privilege granted the col
ored man will not of themselves make OF
him a good citizen. He is his own
architect in that. Nature has invested
him with a power by which he can
evolve into responsibility, il he will but
use it.

aud ut 3 o. clock the building was entirely
Quilted entsiling loss OF $3.50, 900.
Three hundred guests had narrow es-

safely removed from the path of the
flames. Five fremen have been in
jured. Twenty extra engines have
been called for Shortly alter the strength
of the fire department had been hurled
into the fight against the BrevoOrt fire,
alarms were turned in from l05 west
Monroe street and from Clinton and
Adams streets, where high buildings
are burning. Alarms are being turned
in from all over the city. Forty small
fires were fought successfully during
Monday night but nearly every one
entailed great suffering on numerous
occupants. The FIRE in the Bre7oort
House was''csused by crossed wires. Two
explosions in a light shaft at the top OF
the building added to the terror of the
guests.

Panic at Fire.

Twenty-four families we're made hone-
less by fire in Chicago yesterday which
destroyed the four-story fiat building at
l6e Webster avenue, eutailing loss Of
800, 900. There was panic among
the occupants of the building, but il is
believed all escaped. There were many
thrilling escapes from death, the most
astonishing being hat Of Mrs. A. ].
Donaldson. After throwing her child to
safety, Mrs. Donaldson jumped headlong
from secsnd-story window. A fireman
caught her by the shoulders and turned
her so that her feet, instead of her head,
struck the pavement. Mrs. Donaldson
tainted, bur was soon revived, and was
none the worse for her remarkable sx-
perience.
