Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, Feb. 81.
SENATE.


Immediately after the Senate met to-
day, Mr. Clay presented an amendment
to the railroad rate bill, which he will
offer at the proper time. II makes it un-
lawful for any common carrier to engage
directly or indirectly in the buying or
selling of coal or coke or oil or oil
products, except such as is demanded for
the use for the carrier. Railroads are
not permitted to own or control or have
any interest in coal lands or oil or oil
property. and officers OF the same and
those directly in charge Of the furnish
ing of cars are prohibited from having
any interest in such business of proper
ties. Those acts and attempts to limit
the price of coal or oil are made INSIDE
meanors by those knowingly and viii
fully making them, and imprisonment OF
from one to five years is provided for
those found guilty.
Amendment TO the railroad rate bill
were offered by Senator Gtallinger, as
well as Senator Clay.
The Gallluger ameuumeDt pToNiues
that Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as authorizing the Commission
to hear any complaint based upon an al
legged preference given to one locality
over ANOTHER, nor to set aside or substi-
tuta any rate because of any alleged
preference of one locality over another"
HOUSE.
A curious situation was made clea.' in
the House today through democratic
floor leader Williams, who read letter
from representative Van Duzer (dem.
Nevsda,) denying the authorship of a
resolution introduced in his name calling
on the State Department for report on
the conditions OF United States Consul
la,es. The House by vote decided TO
cancel the resolution in question.
A roll.call was then had on the de-
maEd of Mr.. Dalzell for the previous
question on the bill giving federal char
ter to the Lake Erie & Ohio River Ship
Canal Company, an enterprise backed
by Pennsylvania and Ohio capitalists.
The previous question was ordered,
l6S 10 81. and upon the passage of the
bill, the democrats demanded and Sc
cured another roll call, but the bill was
passed by a vote OF 1876 to 81.

FIRE TO-DAY AT THE HUB
The Historic FaneuiI Hall Was Close to the Blaze and Was Threat-
 ened For a Time
MANY MERCHANTS BURNED OUT

Boston, July 16.-Historic Faneuil hall and the market district was se- riously threatened by fire which started shortly after o'clock this morning in six-story building at Nos and 4 South Market street, not more than sixty feet distance from the Cradle of Liberty" Great masses of water were constantly poured up- on the historic building, and itSwas not even scOrched by the flames which, however, ruined the structure in which they broke out, and spread slightly to adjoining buildings. These included the places at 28 Merchants row and No South Market street, the former occupied by the Buckeye Reaper company, the General Express company and the Fear Sears Meat company while the latter was occu- pied by Cobb, Bates & Yerxa, grocers. The building where the fire started was occupied by Tosi & Tabaldi, wine keepers and Italian restaurant pro- prtetors. All attempts to save this structure failed, as the fire had too great headway. It was feared at first that several Italian cooks and walters who roomed in the upper stories had been burned to death, but later it was learned that after hard struggle they escaped.
 The loss was estimated at $50, ,00O, the heaviest damage falling upon Tosi & Talbadi.

Mayor Thoms Issued Orders to the Police Department to Put a Stop
 to the Game
BASE BALL MEN WARNED
Superintendent Beach Gave Them Notice To-Day That There Will
 Be No More League Games.

There will be no more professional baseball in this city for time at least was the order given out by Su- perintendent Beach this morning to Manager Harry Durant and George Strobel, treasurer of the Waterbury baseball team. The superintendent acted on orders from Mayor Thoms, who received the complaint early this morning.
 Although the mayor refused to state what person made the complaint It IS rumored that it was Rev Frank D. Walter, pastor of the First Methodist church. The clergyman lives at 132 Chestnut avenue and reporter of the Democrat endeay0red to find him at his home this afternoon, but 1t was sated that he was attending funeral service in another part of the city. Wa terbury is the only city in the state that allowed professional ball to be played on Sunday.
 When Manager Durant sprung the plan of playing Sunday ball it was thought that the City league managers would make protest, but as long as Treasurer Strobel stated that he was losing money the City league willing ly gave up the grounds to the Wa terbury team for two Sundays month.
 It is said that much influence was brought to bear upon Mir Walter who has been objecting strenuously since the first Sunday professional game was played, to have him change his attitude. Only this morning the mat ter was discussed with him for more than an hour, but the minister could not see why baseball should be allowed in Waterbury on Sunday when 1t Is a direct viola tion of the law.
 Mayor Thoms stated to-day that when professional baseball in this city was first talked of he was of the opinion that the clerky would not stand for 1t.
 Two games have been played one with New Haven two weeks ago, and one yesterday with New London The Rama yeskerday attracted about .2,VQ0 fans. 1t looks as If amateur ball will hold forth for the remainder of the season.

NEGROES CAN'T STAND IT.
The Conditions at Panama Are Not
 Suitable to Them.

Washington, July 16. - Perfect sanitation and cleanliness are prov ing fatal to the West Indian negroes employed on the Panama canal. AL though Colonel Gorgas. and his assis- tants have banished yellow fever and other tropical levers which made the canal zone one large burying ground for the French canal builders. they have found that sanitary precautions taken in the quarters occupied by workmen make the Jamaican negroes especially susceptible to pneumonia and other throat and lung troubles. West Indians are not accustomed to an abundance of fresh air and we'll ventilated, cleanly quarters. Living for generations in small huts where large families crowd into rooms tightly closed against the night air, the negroes from Jamaica and other tropical islands have developed lungs with cramped capacity and especially susceptible to change of temperature.
 The officers in charge have found that the West Indian laborers can not be induced to eat sufficient whole some food to keep them in good health even when supplies are fur nished them at cost price and meals are made attractive at great expense to the canal commission.
 Chief Engineer Stevens of the ca nal commission, Governor Magoon and other men identified with the work on the isthmus have agreed that lack of lung capacity and insuf- ficient nourishment, rather than lazi- ness, are responsible for the inability of the West Indians to perform an amount of work equal to that done by white laborers from Spain. The negroes are paid only so cents a day, while the white men from Spain and Cuba are paid twice that amount and many of the bosses on the canal work are of the opinion that the white men really do much more than twice us much as the colored laborers.
 The Spaniards have been found to be thrifty and cleanly in their hab- its. They take their families to the isthmus and maintain homes in NuOiEcont tAtfdh and good food is served. Most of the Spaniards now employed on the isth- mus went there from Cuba, but they are natives of Spain who had ob- tained employment in Cuba. It is ex- pected that Spain will grant the com mission permission to take large numbers of Spanish laborers to the isthmus.
 To abandon negro labor. according to the commission, would be practi- cally impossible. But Chairman shonts and other members of the commission fell that 1t Is unsafe to depend on any one class of Iaborer and because of the unsatisfactory re- suits with negro labor are not only turning to the Spaniards but will probably try Chinese labor later as 1t is not believed that sufficient span isrds can be had to meet the demands when the canal work becomes more advanced.

Story of the shooting.

St Petersburg, July 16.-Addi- tional details of the assassination of General Kozlov of the headquarters stan In the park at Peterhof on Sat urday, prove beyond question that the murderer believed he was killing General TrBpoff. The tragedy oc- cured at 9:20 in the evening in the presence of several thousand persons who were listening to the music in the English park, below the grand chateau, adjoining the park of Alex ander palace. where the imperial family and General Trepoff reside. A young man, dressed in the clothes of workman. seeing General Kozlov, who resembles General Trepoff. gazed long and earnestly at the generals face and then took photograph from his pocket to compare 1t with Kozlov's features. as if to make sure of his identity. The man then drew a pistol and fired four shots point blank at Kozlov, who fell mortally wounded and expired on the spot. The assassin turned to flee, but Prince Andromiroff seized him and turned him over to the police. who thronged the park. The crowd shouted Lynch him." But the pris- oner was conducted safely to police headquarters. When he was searched Trepoff's photograph was found in the assassin's pocket. leaving no doubt regarding the identity of the person he intended to kill. The as- snssin refused to give his name, all though he openly ayowed that he was a member of the social revolutionary organization. and the police have not yet been able to find out his name.
 General Kozlov was not involved in politics. He married grand daughter of the famous Field Mar shal Count Alexander Suyaron.
