Clsrk's Views.

WASHINGTON. Feb 1. - Democratic
members Of congress appear to be getting
ready to lock horns on the permanent tar
iff board situation, which republican lead
ers are said to be doing little TO discourage
The fact that the democrats OF both

was disclosed today when republican lead
ers began a canvass 60 determine whether
they can muster enough votes to pass the
house bill.
II was said more than half Of the demo-
cratic senators have announced they would
oppose the measure. II also was said a
democratic conference would be held soon
and an effort made to line up the senate
minority against the bill
When it passed the house a few nights
ago this result was accomplished largely
by democratic support under Representa-
tive Champ CLARK. The senate opposition
probably viii be led by Senator Bailey. II
Senator Bailey and Representative Clark
find themselves holding contrary views. as
seems probable, the situation viii be SINH
lar TO their positions in regard to methods
Of revising the tariff.
1t was recalled today that when the two
democratic leaders spoke al the recent har-
mony conference AT Baltimore. Mr.. Clark

SAMOA HAS BIG FIRE, $4,000
MOVING PICTURE OUTFIT BURNED

APIA, March 18.-One of the most
disastrous fires that has ever occurr-
ed in Apia happened on Saturday
night last, the 18th instant, resulting
in the complete destruction of the
main part of the International Hotel
and the main store and dwelling of
Mrs. Dexter.
Mr.. Perry, of "Perry's Pictures"
fame, was running a cinematograph In
the International Hall, where he had
been playing to excellent houses for
the past month. His machine was a
Pathe Freres electric, the most ex-
pensive and up-to-date machine on
the market. The engine was out in
the yard fully 40 feet from the cine
matograph. Saturday night, as usual,
saw the house packed, and immedi-
ately after the interval, Mr.. Clarence
Kershaw (of Auckland), the opera
tor, got on the stand and was pre-
pairing a spool for exhibition, when
someone suddenly proclaimed that
something was on fire. The opera
tor saw fire under his feet, and
endeavored to jump upon it, but, I'M
fortunately, only with the result of
getting his hands, arms, head, and
face, badly burnt. Mr.. Kershaw did
everything in his power to extinguish
the incipient outbreak, and, although
severely burnt, stuck to his post.
Some time elapsed before a doctor
could be procured, but, On finding
one, Mr. Kershaw's wounds were
bound up, and he was driven to the
Government Hospital, from where
latest advices state that he is pro-
guessing favorably.
/ Audience stampeded.
At the first alarm Of fire a STAN
pede was made by the audience for
the different exits, and, although the
chairs and forms seriously hampered
the movement, everyone fortunately
got out unframed excepting for a
few minor scratches. That everyone
eot outside the burning building with
out serious accident is a matter for
great congratulation. The fire spread
with lightning like rapidity, owing to
the infiammable nature of the sur
roundings, and, in the incredibly
short space of a few minutes, the
fire had assumed complete control of
the building, and the whole edifce
was burnt to the ground, nothing be-
ing left except the bare foundation
