When the House met today and be
fore going into Committee of the Whole

bate on the bill shall close at 4.30 to-
morrow afternoon. The bill will then
be read by sections for amendments and
discussed under the fve-minute rule.
\ vote may be reached late Thursday.
The debate opened at il O'Clock with
a small attendance in the chamber, and
an air of Iassitude. Mr.. Gillespie of
Texas, author of the recent resolution
regarding the financial organization of
the Pennsylvania system, discussed the
relation of competition and the great
railway mergers TO industrial Commls-
sIOns in the nation at this time.
Mr.. Gillespie likened the present con-
dtiOns in railroads and other cOmbina~
tions to those which exist in many
towns and cities where a stranger finds
that, despite laws TO the contrary, gam
hing and various other forms OF vice
are not only permitted TO be conducted,
hut are apparently accepted as estab-
lished and legitimate institutions.

TIE fire started in the third story of

mated is mystery, inasmuch as the
building is heated by steam. the pipes

floor. while the flames were discov-
cred in The center of the room. There
are twenty-three men employed by the
firm, but only twelve were at work
when the fire started, about S o'clock
Three alarms were sent in, and the
street was soon filled with engines and
firemen Ladders were run up TO the
top story and at every ten rounds fire
men were placed The streams from
the hose dashed against the walls and
flew over the men in Il spray which,
freezing as soon as Il struck them,
locked them TO their posts in an icy
grasp.
Through the spray the rays Of the
sun formed a rainbow of singular
beauty. The walls o. the burning
building, as well as those on each side.
soon became sheets OF ice, and the men
and horses also found the street in
