A Warsaw dispatch says that the
railroad telegraph operator at Moscow
reported on Saturday night that great
incendiary confagration was raging
there.

the rebels fed headlong, throwing
down their arms. Two hundred of them

their barracks by Cossacks.

Washington, Dec. ambassadors

of the House of Representatives to-

gathered early and the corridors were

There was no lack of spectacular
features to the opening of the Fifty
ninth Congress. Nor did it lack bril-
liancy Veteran Congressman, men
who had fought many a campaign.
and who had years of experience in
the House of Representatives to their
credit, the heroes perhaps of many
an exciting debate, fraternized with
their colleagues whose records were
similar to their own. New members
of Congress, tyros in the patronage
game, who had just made their first
appearance in the national legsla-
tive halls, were introducer by their
fellow members to the celebrities of
the House.
There were congressman every
where. The Speakers lobby was full
of them, the committee rooms had a
few, the smoking rooms more, and
] even on the Senate side of the big
building Congressman were to be
found this morning. They were for
mer Congressman, too, men who had
been left at home by their constitu-
ents. They came here from force of
habit and to renew old acquaintances
! and once more to see the opening OF
the House. Some of the former mem
bers seemed to be as happy as the
new members. Happy, perhaps, be-
cause their troubles were at an end,

The delegation from New Jersey,

floor of the House exchanging greet

stories of the last campaign, which
had been so disastrous to the bosses
in other States besides New Jersey.
Representative Parker and Wiley
were among the early arrivals; Mr..
Howell and Mr. Fowler were not far
behind; Mr. Gardner and Mr. McDer-

FIGHTING A MANIAC
One Man Held a Thousand
at Bay Two Hours.
After Wouuding Nine Persons and De-
tying the Police, the Lunatic
Killed Himself. A Desperate
FusiIiade.
Fusiliade.
(By the Associated Press }

San Francisco, Calf, June I'll
After holding one thousand persons at
bay for two hours in Eddy street early
today, shooting and wounding nine
people and defying the police, Thomas
Lobb, maniac, killed himself. The
insane man was barricaded in his
room on the fourth floor of the United
States hotel.
Lobb went to the hotel last night.
This morning he began throwing furn-
iture from the windows to the street.
Several persons narrowly escaped be-
ing struck. He then began firing,
using a shotgun. He placed $50 and
500 bills in the muzzle of the weapon
and fragments of the paper were scat
tered over the street. A big crowd
gathered quickly.
Police Lieutenant Green rushed
squad of police to the scene, among
the officers being five members of the
crack rifle team of the department.
They were unable to accomplish any
thing, however, as the maniac was
strongly intrenched in his room and
appeared to have an unlimited amount
of ammunition.
1t was determined that he must be
captured dead or alive, and all the
rooms adjoining the one he occupied
were filled with armed officials. "A
lively fusilade was begun through the
door. transom and walls of the mad
mans stronghold, to which he re-
sponded with remarkable rapidity.
officer Hutchins descended from the
roof to the room window, while other
policemen made an attempt to force
the door. When Hutchins saw the
maniacs attention was diverted, he
gave a pre-arranged signal by firing
his revolver. Hearing the report from
an unexpected quarter, the murderous
lunatic rushed to the window, which
was open, and literally blew off the top
of his own head.
Thomas Lobb was about 20 years
old. He was a carpenter from Benson,
Arizona.
