Th * amendments to the ircn schedule today shared the same fate as those to the ooal schedule yesterday. They wore overwhelmingly defeated , and iron ore remains upon the free list. The re- mainderxjf the afternoon was spent in tbe discussion of amendments looking to tbe free admisuion of machinery used in the manufacture of cotton goods. Just before the house adjourned the advo cates and opponents of the Income tax upon ihe democratic side were arrayed arainst each other , the latter atlemptlng to prevent Mr. McMillin from reading the internal revenue bill to the house. Aided by ICxpali lean * . The republicans Joined hands \vith the Income lasers and defealed the small band of democrats who pledged themselves to use every effort to prevent the internal revenue hill , containing the income tax , from being placed on the Wilson bill as arider. . Mr W ilson , cha'rman ' of the commillee , who is in sympathy with them , allowed ihe debate on the Robbins amendisetil to run on without interruption today , it was said , for the express purpose of consuming time , so thai Ihe committee anendmenls which he has lo offer will , when he again la es me floor , prolong Ihe debate until Saturday night , and thus shut out the possibility of the internal revenue bill being offered as an amendment lo Ihe Wilson DilL A great deal sf bitter feeling exists , however , and should the program be followed it will unquestion ably Icaa to charges of bad faith. At tbe opening of the session this morning , the speaker announced the appointment of Messrs. Cogswell and Compton as directors of the Columbian hospital for women. The senate amendments to the joinl reso lution authorizing justices of the sunre.no ecarl of tbe Dislrict of Columbia to have the privileges of the congressional library ac- rcrded justices of the supreme court of the United States were , on motion of ilr. Blair of .New Hampshire , agreed to. Theliouae then resolved itsalf into com mittee of the whole for the further consid eration of the tariff bill. Two "hours and fifteen minutes for the debate on the iron ore schedule remained. Mr. Taylor of Tennessee offered as an omendment to the panning amendment of Mr. Oatcs , placing a duty nf 40 cents a tenon on ore , the provisions of the McKinley law which makes the duty 75 cents per ton. Opened tlie Debate. Mr. Beltzhoover of Pennsjlvania opened the debate with a sensational denunciation of the Wilson bill. Every compromise on a question of principle , he said , involved a surrender of rishl und had ended in ignomln. ious lailure , Hisiory was filled with striking illustrations of this fact. If the Wilson bill became a law it would bo a failure. Pre tending to be neither prelection nor tree trade , it has the faults of both , and the merits , of neither. Pretending to protect one industry in his districl ( steel ) , it dis- \crimiuates against another ( chains ) . He was in laver of protection to American la bor. [ Republican applause. ] Every dem ocratic platform froui t he foundation of the government until 18112 had declared for pro- tion to American labor. "How about ihe plalform of IS7G ? " inter rupted Mr. Hall of Missouri. "Did not it denounce the protection system ? " "I mean , " replied Mr. Beltzhoovcrthat aU the platform declarations of the party tended in that direction. " "Were you not elected on tbe platform of 1S92 , which declares protection to be a fraud and a robbery f" asked Mr. Goldzier of Illinois. "I was. " replied Mr. Boltshoover , "but I was elected upon it as construed by Mr. Cleveland and the New ' York World. " fLaughtcr.j j Ho went on to explain thai the New York I / World maintained throughout the campaign 1 that the platform had been adopted by"u few radicals , reinforced by the "snapper" delegaiion from New York and others op posed to Mr. Cleveland's nomination.

Mr. Wilson closed the debate on the iron schedule. Every argument made for plac ing coal on the free list applied to iron ore. The Development of tne iron ore industry during the last few years ojtstripped any thing the world had ever known. He-salt of the Voting. The votes were then taken on pending amendments , first upon that of Mr. Taylor to that of Mr. Gates , to restore the rates of cxlstinc laws on ore. . > cents per ton. Only one democrat , Mr. Swanson of Virginia , voted with the republicans in favor ot this proposition and it was iost by a vote of 137 to 07. The other vote was upon Mr. Gates' amendment to make the duty 40 cents. This shared the fate of its predecessor al- ILough many democrats , including most of the democratic members from Alabama , West Virginia aud Pennsylvania Toted for it , along with the repuijlicans from the iron producing states , the rest of the republi cans adhering to thair policy and refusing to vote , but when the announcement was made that it vras lost. 59 to 109 , they did not make the point of no qSorum. Mr. Jlobbins , democrat , of Alabama then offered as an amendment , to add to the para graph placing agricultural implements on the free list , "all articles used in th < 5 manu facture of cotton , including machinery and equipments. " Mr. Payne offered an amendmc-ut to the amendment , a reciprocity provision in con nection with the paragraph placing agri cultural articles on the free iisL Mr. Wilson made the point of order that the amendment was not germane. The chair overruled the point. Arc-atncnt. for Itecproclty. ! Mr. Payne insisted that if the American market vras to be open to the free entry of Canadian or other agricultural implements these couutries should open their mar kets to similar articles from this country. This amendment was in line with the famous amendment adopted by tbe commit tee with reference to petroleum. Canada levies a duty of S5 per cent on agricultural " implements. Replying to Mr. Wilson's statement yesterday concerning the re ciprocity clause of the Canadian tariff , he denied that free coal wosld compel them , under that provision , to admit our coal free. Mr. Brecicinridge , democrat , of Arkansas said the reciprocity proposition was basert on a desire to assist our producers , bat it , failed to take into consideration our consumers. Mr. Draper , republican , of Massachusetts spoke agzinst the amendment , Mr. Hopkins , republican , of Illinois followed in the same line. line.Mr. Mr. Hare , democrat , of Ohio presented and advocated an amendment to tbo sub stitute to transfer agricultural implements to the dutiable list at !

The protest which Lord Cromer , the British consul general and Minister plenipo tentiary'made to the khedive , accompanied , it is said , by a demand for au apology , was wade on the asroct orders of the Earl ot Bosebery , the secretary of fctate for foreign affairs. Kaglancf H IJctfrmln . It is now stated here that Lord Cromer has been instructed to ask the kbedive lo dismiss Herr Pashivi. On ihe other hand , it is stated the khedive has most em phatically refused to submit to tsuch a public humiliation , and it is believed by ihose who know ihe khedive lhat he will re sist to the utmost the alleged insulting demands made by the British government. England is equally determined that the re pute of the British officials and administra tion is directly concerned in the dispute , and if the khedive remains on the throne , he will have to make some sort of a retrac tion. tion.When When the sirdar of the Egyptian army , Brigadier General Parha , telegraphed to Lord Cromer , the British minister plenipo tentiary at Alexandria , the khedive had un reservedly irilicised the discipline and effi ciency of the Egyptian troops , Lord Cromer imineJlately telegraphed to Lord Roseberry , with the result that he was instructed to take the action already referred tola this dispatch and which amounts in substance to a demand for an apology from the khe dive , under threat of removing him from the throne if be does not do so. Hacked Cp by 1 . aoc-n. The English population of Cairo is greatly excited at the present aspect of ailairs. and it is distinctly said that the kcedive in doing what he did acted for a selfish purpose , on direct promptings , carefully weighed and discussed , and coming from a foreign power antagonistic to England , and especially so far as to tne occupancy of Egypt by Eng land is concerned. It is understood the for eign power referred to as having been be hind the young khedive.ln the attitude he has assumed toward the Egyption troops and their English officers is no less than France , and thai the khedive has been as sured thai he will receive the support of France should England make any deter mined effort to oust htm from the throne. Abb-is Pasha , the khedive , is most tena cious of all pertaining to his personal dhr- nity. and the previous crisis , which was really less serious thau the present one. showed that he was able to resist Lord Cramer for a long time. . FOIJ HISMAIICK'S K Kitcafirp Preparations .Makln tn Welcome illin to Germany's Capital. BERLIN , Jan. 24. It is reported today in the lobbies of the Reichstag tbat Prince Bismarck will arrive in Berlin on Friday , January 25 , in order to enable him to be present at the emperor's birlhday celebra- lion on Jannary 27. Ii is now definitsly announced that Prince Bismarck will arrive in Berlin at noon on Friday nest , The prince will alight at the Lehrte or Hanoverian railroad station , where he will be received with great pomp. The route from there will be through the Brandeburg gate at the west end of the Cntcr der Linden , to tbe imperial castle. Special trains will be run to Berlin on Friday and Saturday , and most of the cities in southern Germany will be decorated. Berlin wdl also be decorated and illuminated at night ; the students have announced their intention of turning oat en- masse , and windows along tno route leading to the castle from tha railroad depot are being rented at high prices. Different municipal bodies and very many of the Ber lin societies are preparing to honor tbe chancellor , who , on his way lo Ihe castle , will be surrounded by mihlary and princely pomp of the most elaborate description. In short , the entry of Prince Bismarck into Berlin after so loug an absence promises to draw immense crowds of people to this city and to be one of the mosi elaborate evenls ever witnessed in Ihe German capital. The emperor has addressed a second letter to Bismarck thanking him for his accept ance of the wine which Ihe eaiperor scnl him and for his announcement of his iu- lenlion of visiting him find paying his respects. In his letler the emperor also invites Prince Bismarck to attend the im perial birthday fetes. It is reported that Count von Waldersee proceeded to Fried- richsruhe at the emperor's desire directly after the ruconeiliation was decided. One accouni says tne emperor intended to make .1 few advances to Bismarck on Christmas , but delayed nisflnal decision until last week.

In addition , Ihe armmeal and h'ttincs of the war fahins now in hand are being rabidly pushed forward at the different dockyards and in the private sal { yards where govern ment ships are being constructed. The new style of armament is based upon the principle that tbe next naval war will be a tet of maneuver' g skill and that coal endurance will play prominent part in such tactics. As a result tbe new ironclads will be superior to any of the existing ships ia regard to coal capacity , thus rendering them independent of co.tlms stations at a critical moment.

The pqor farai , on which is tbe insane hospital , is located seven miles from this city and word concerning the disaster did not reach here until 10 o'clock this morning. The building burued was an old two-siory frame structure which was as dry as tinder. To add lo the inflammable nature of the place many of the partition walls were padded with cotton and some of ihe bed clothing was of collon bat ting three inches thick. This was be cause only the incurable insane who had been returned from the state asylum were kept there. These patieals were nearly all violent lent and the great amount of cotton padding was to prevent them injuring themselves. The building was heated by a furnace whictiwas last summer condemned by a local expert as unsafe , but no attention had apparently been paid to this warning and last ntsht s tire undoubtedly re sulted from neglect to replace ihe furnace with a batter one. It is thoughn to be certain thai the fire started from a de fect in the furnace , as there were no stoves in any of the roams and great care was er- ercised that no matches should be allowed in the building. > "otmil Too Liite. Mr. Holcomb , the steward , says he first knew of the fire when alarmed by Mrs. Hib- bard. the only inmate who escaped from the ouilding. He was in the main building which stands but three feet distant from the "crazy' ' houss. When he got out doors flames were bursting from all the -windows of the frame structure -and it was a mass of flames inside. He burst opan a door , but was driven back by the flumes which in a few minutes had bamed the building to the ground. The main building was saved by pouring on water vrbirh the heat of the fire melted from a huge snos- drift alonside Ihe build ing. No one saw the eicht people who were burned to dealh , and whether they made any effort to escape can never be known. There seems to have been no at tendant of any kind in the building where the insane people were locked up. BLAZES.
