Instead of 150 feet above mean high water.
Mr ( Aombes explained that if the bill was

Mr * McGrcary , democrat of Kcnlucky ,
from the committee on foreign affairs , asked
unanimous consent for the passage of the
senate resolution for the appointment of a

which opens at Antwerp May 5. Ho made
a statement to the effect that the resolu

Mexico under suspension of the rules This
bill has been the special order after the
second morning hour for two months , but
since the tariff fight began the house has
never passed to the second morning bom ,
other business having constantly intervened.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois demanded a second.
The republicans , ns n rule , declined to vote
and Iho quorum wns broken , 117 to 1. Sir.
Cannon made the point of no quorum. Aftei
n few minutes It became apparent that the
domociats nlonij could not muster n quorum
Mr Joseph withdrew the bill and the house
went Into committee at the whole on the
pension appropriation bill Mr Dolllver of
Iowa look the floor. Ho would not have
obtruded himself In this debate , ho said ,
were lie not In receipt of letters complaining
In terms that o\clted his sympathy with the
present management of the pension ofllco
Mi Hepburn of Iowa declared the late con-
fodoiato slates contributed not ono dollar to
the payment of pensions. Of the $150,000,000
Internal revenue tax the south paid lo's than
$9,000,000 Of the $177.000.000 customs re
ceipts the FOiith paid but $1000,000 , of the
miscellaneous receipts , less than $ J,000,000.
"So that , " said he , addressing the southern
inemhotM , "you contribute less than $15,000-
000 to the revenue * of the government. How
do you get that back $9,000,000 relumed as
Biigai bounty , $5,000,000 In pensions and
$5,000,000 JB a deficit in postal receipts. You
therefore receive hick I.OOO.OOO more than
you conttlbutc. You contrlbuo not a cent
to northern pensions What difference does
It imiko to you what we do with our money '
( Republican applause ) The first proof of
hostility to the pensioners by thu administra
tion. Mi Hepburn found In the fact that
( jrover Cleveland was president , second that
Iloko Smith was secretary of the Interior
When Hoko Smith went Into olfico , ho con
tinued , 507,000 applications were pending
The applicants were dying at the late of
17.000 a year. Instead of adjudicating these
cases , the dcpaitment went back and sus
pended 12,000 pensioners , whoso eases were
In lawyers' hands How did this record com
pare with that of his predecessor , who In
the previous six months allowed 110,000
clilmsf Ho denied that there wcro any
Cteat number of fraudulent pensioners.
IT S ONE GREAT DIFFICULTY.
Mr. Enloo ot Tennessee , who followed , sild
there was always one gloat difficulty In dis
cussing the pension question A larga
amount of money was Involved A largo
number of votes wore Involved , consequently
there was n strong temptation for the demu-
goguu to exercise his calling Because the
demooiutlc administration sought to strlko
from the pension rolls those who were en *
Utled neither to the government's gratltndo
nor bounty the republicans assailed the presi
dent , secretary of the Interior ami Commls
sloner Lochren As an evidence of the exist
ence ut fraud Mr Enloo said thoio had been
170 convU-llons of pension claims agents , for
inanufactuilng testimony In pension cases
Mr. Enloo had read a letter from Coiunils-
Blonor Lochrou , under date iff Miiiclt C , 1891 ,
eaylns thoio were between S.OOO and 10,000
pension cases at present uuilei Investigation
where therp was stroiia ; presumptive ovl
OC""C of fiaud.
f Mr Tuwno ? of Minnesota continued the
debate In onppsltlon to the pens'on policy ot
the administration. H.kJj ? T .
Mr. Uiildwln ot Minnesota gavi ) A humorous
doseilptton of the war dogs of the other
Hlile. Mr Dolllvcr was only prevented from
> hurglng on the sctrletl ranks of touclUon
nnd of having himself enshrined on Ihe pen-
slon roll by his tendet youth Caution whoso
old iigi' years ago enabled him to cscjp ? the
draft , and Plckler , who now refused to
( smooth the front of grim vlsugcd war. ' In
the luino of God and a suffering people , "
ho concluded , "let us have peace , " ( Laugh *
tcr and applause. )
Mr Cannon concluded the debate for the
Hftfnionn In the C'uirt"1 of his speech he
ilrcw General Black Into nn t subtle col
loquy Mr Cannon tt pnrnr-.c Vein to cim-
lull , douera ! BUik lu UK Utter i : ui ail it oC
Mr. Cleveland's pension policy. All his
finesse , however , availed him not. He first
asked General Black whether , when he was
commissioner of pensions under the former
Cleveland administration , the president's
pension vetoes did not originate In the
pension ofllce.
General Black answered frankly that It
was the custom of tlio president when a pri
vate pension bill was passed to senjl _ It to
the commissioner of pensions for a state
ment of the facts In the case. By him It
was referred to the proper division , an ofil-
clot statement of facts made and It was re
turned to him nnd ho examined the case ,
gave hH opinion an to whether the claimant
was pensionable under the general law , and
his general Impression ns lo whether the
bill should be vetoed. It then went back
to the pro3ldent and ho vetoed It or not as
ho cliono. AH to the matter of the de
pendent pension bill veto by Mr. Cleveland ,
lie hid no recollection na to vvhethei It was
leferred to him or not.
"I am to understand then that vou en
dorsed all the pension vetoes of Sir. Cleve
land ? " ankcd Mr Cannon.
"You seem to understand that , " replied
Mr. Black , "because you wish to clinch a
conclusion you have nlrcndy prepared. "
HIS EFFORTS IN VAIN.
Mr. Cannon then sought , by a series of
questions , to drive Mr Black to a positive
expression as to vvhethei the latter endorsed
Mr , Cleveland's foimer pension policy , but
General Illnck refused cither by direct
answer or otherwise to divulge what had
taken place between himself and Mr. Cleve
land when he occupied n confidential i elation
to the president. At last , being unsuccess
ful , Mr , Cannon sought to get nil expression
upon the pieecnt pension policy.
General Black replied rather shortly that
he declined to bo treated a a a witness any
longer. He hud already given his opinion
of ( ho democratic idea of pensions.
"The country , " replied Mr. Cannon , "cares
not three hurrahs In hades what the demo
cratic party thinks , what It would like to
Know Is whether the policy of Grover Cleveland -
land is a just one. I believe my colleague
( General Black ) does himself an Injustice
v U/n he seeks to make his own magnificent
war record cover a malicious and wanton
attack upon his comrades "
The committee then rose and the house ,
at G 4j p. m. , adjourned.

Disposition of the Ithuiil lllll liases a Snmll
Disillusion.
WASHINGTON , March 5-The senate held
a Miort session today , and but little business
of Importance was transacted. A brief fight
was precipitated by the intention expressed
by the vice president to refer the Bland
seigniorage bill ( which had Just been re.
celved from the house ) to the ilnanco com.
mltteo Mr btowart of Nevada opposed this
disposition of the bill and asked hat it bo
allowed to lie on the table , subject to
called up at any time This was finally or.
dered. Mr Stewart at the same time
offered a free sliver amendment to the bill
Ihe only other event of Interest was the
offering by Mr Morgan of Alabama of a
lesolutlon looking to the appointment of a
tariff commission , which
ho offered as an
amendment to the tariff bill. A number o
billstif-mlnor Importance were passed. The
McGarrnlmn bill was taken from the calendar
frnAeii ! iVernVntl ! tomorro o objection
from MIMorrlll. . An executive session of a
llttlo moio than an hour was held and a
number ot nominations confirmed
The morning hour of the senate waiaoken
up with routine business of local Interest to
various sections of the country. The Bland
silver bill was received from the house and
refened to the committee on finance.
Mr. Alien of Nebiaska presented an
amendment to the rules providing that It
shall be the duty of a committee to which u
bill , resolution or other meaauro. has been
reported to report It back within thirty days ,
ami if the committee shall fall to report in
-UTat tlme'tho senator -presenting It shall
have the light to call for a repoit under
certain restilctlon. The proposed amend
ment was referred , to the committee on
rules.
Among a numbsr of petitions presented
by Mr Cockrell were several letters from
druggists In Missouri , asking him to vote
against the Wilson bill because It lalsed the
duty on alcohol. Mr. Cockrell said ho was
astonished at receiving so many letters
from the members of one profession and all
couched in terms singularly uniform , until
ho lecoivcd the "insnlratlon of these let-
ton ? , " a circular from the Iowa State Phar
maceutical association of Dubuque , asking
the druggists to write to the senators from
Missouri directing them to vote against an
Increase of taxation on a necessity. "A
necessity In prohibition lov.a , " exclaimed
Mr Cockrell , melodramatically , "more
necessary than tea or coffee. " Ho asked
that this "cartload of petitions'1 ' bo offeied
to tlio committee on Ilnanco , so the distin
guished senator from Iowa ( Mr. Allison ) ,
who was a incmbei of that committee , mlpht
Imvo an opportunity to consldei the peti
tions nnd these piteous appeals fiom his
constituents '
Mr Allison , replying In the s-ime aaicas-
tic tone , said lie supposed at nome time tlio
finance committee , as a whole , might have
an opportunity to look Into these icprits
So fai ha had not had a chunco to look at
such matters
Mr Stow ait of Nevada objected to the
reference of tlio Bland selgnloiage bill to
the finance committee , and asked that It liu
on the table so It might be called up at any
time
After considerable discussion this \vas
agreed to , with the understanding that It
be laid before the senate tomonow.
'Iho amendment to the ruk'J ptoposed by
Mr PofTcr foi the dlscontlnuanc.o ot secret
sessions was rcfeired to tlio committee on
rules
A number of private bills wnre pa s2d ,
and at - 05 the senate went Into executlvo
session.
AVhen tlio doors were reopened , at P 10 p.
in , the joint resolution of Senator Morgan
of Alabama for the establishment of a tiulft
commission was 'offered by 'him as , an
amendment to the tariff bill mil refened to
the finance committee.
At 5 20 p m the senite adjourned.

WASHINGTON , March 5 The Wilson
tariff bill has been Hie subject of an earnest
consultation among the scnitois today. It
has reached a certain stage of completeness ,
and yet may bo thrown out of gear by a
single article. That art loin Is sugar , and
It was generally uiulerxtood that If a dullnlte
agreement could be reached on this ar
ticle It would then bo possible to
agree upon everything else and that
the bill could bo repeated without delay
Secretary Carlisle has been with the mem
bers of the committee mo t of the day and
met with ihem again this evening to dis
cuss ami camp-lie changes But while these
concessions Imvo been inado and the mem
bers of the finance committee and the ob

LONDON' , March C Queen Victoria , Prin
cess Dcatrlco and ex-Emprcsa Frederick of
Germany arrived In London about noon from
Windsor and proceeded to llitcklngham pal
ace.
ace.Mr.
Mr. Gladstone was busy with his secre
taries all the morning and received many
callers In addition. Among those who con
ferred with him this tnoinlng were Sir
Henry Ponsonby , the riueen's private secre
tary nnd Mr. Justin McCarthy , the leader
of the Itlsh nationalists.
Loid Hosebcry spent the morning con
ferring with the cabinet ministers and , ap
parently bised upon this conference , theio
Is In circulation a report to Iho effect that
John Morley will retain his position as
chief soctetary for Ireland.
The ciiblnot situation Is complicated by
the death of Hnron Twccdmouth , father of
Right Hon. Edward Majorlbanks , the liberal
whip , who may be a cabinet minister. Ills
name Is prominently mentioned In connec-
lou with the office of secretary of Btato for
India This would add another peer to
the cabinet and still ' further enrage the
radicals , who have already declared their
Intention to upset the government should a
peer be made premier. One of the slsteis
of the new liaron Twccdmouth Is the
Countess of Aberdeen , whoso husband Is
now governar general of Canada. It Is
said to be definitely settled that the earl
of Kimberley , secretary of state for India
and lord president of the council , will be
come secretary of state for foreign affairs ,
In succession to Lord Hosebeiy.
PAUNELL1TES COMMAND INTEREST
Intel cst now BeeniH lo center In the alti
tude of the Parnelllte pirty , as the position
of the McCarthyltes Is said to be Bottled.
They rely upon the government to give
proper attention to Irish legislation In due
course of time The followers of Mr La-
bouchere seem to have dwindled to a very
insignificant number , In fact It Is claimed
that the distinguished radical now has only
two followers. The Parnellltes who , It is
said , would act with the radicals are more
numerous , but Mr. John Redmond , their
leader , adroitly refuses to commit hinifccll
in any way. The liberal goveminent , how
ever , lias a majmity of foity In the House
of Commons , and Parnellltes and Labouher-
Itea together , allowing Mr. Labourcliero a
following of even a half a dozen , would not
bo sufficient to overthrow It.
The Chronicle sajs "One of the most
significant events of Saturday may possibly
have escaped public attention On that day
tlio gre-at steward of our empire placed his
resignation , after sixty years of service , In
his royal mistress' hands The resignation
was recorded by the queen in the Couit
Circular In the formal phrase habitual to
the resignation of a prime minister. It
was graciously accepted. Thcro was not a
line , not a syllable In it of personal expres
sion , like when Lord Salisbury , a statesman ,
who , compared with Mr. Gladcstone , IH n
mcio youngling In the great business of
parliament , relinquished olllco after vainly
attempting to coerce Ireland. The queen
notified the public of the fact of Lord Salis
bury's resignation by stating that she ac
cepted that resignation 'with much regret. '
The phrase was an oxtiaordlnary one. We
are Inclined to think It was unpiecedented
In the queen's reign. If not In the whole
Guelpli period. Her majesty , we gather ,
does not view 'with regret' the departure
from her council of the mightiest of the
living Englishmen , tlio heroic figure of his
ago and the statesman of whom our chil
dren's chlldien will speak when wo are In
the dust ; nnd there would be , we suggest ,
reasons above others why the nation should
have expected some touches of personal feel
ing from the queen when she bade farewell
to her Illustrious servant. Ho above all
others has been the safeguard of the English
monarchy and Its preservation against Its
unwise friends and open foes. Again and
again Mr. Gladstone held the bridge against
the radicals when the smallest outwoik of
privilege or endowment attached to the royal
house was attacked , and now ho goes , the
mightiest of all figures of the Victorian ago ,
unthanked and dismissed with the phrase
that covered the retreat of the feeblest of his
predecessors "
The Dally News maintains that the govern
ment will meet Parliament as strong , except
In the absence of Mr Gladstone , as before
"In ono respect It will be even stronger
The attack on the Implacable vote of the
House of Lords Will gain force by the guid
ance of a peer Lord Rosebery several
years ago Introduced a bill abolishing the
House of Lords and substituting therefor an
elective senate A inoro practicable solution
of the present crisis , however , Is the plan
formerly proposed by III lion John Morley
and understood to have been suggested by
Lord Rosebory himself , by which a p er
might relinquish his scat in the HOUNO ot
Loids and become a candidate for a seat In
the House of Commons Lord Rosebery la
expected to confront Paillament with n
stiong advanced policy If he fulfills that
e\pectallon he need not fear the result "
The Pall Moll Gazette. In an article sum

Telegram to The Dee ) A tire which broke
out hero this morning destroyed the preater
portion of the city lyinf ; below Gold
street In the 'east end. The flro burned
over three blocks , and to the fact that there
was scarcely any wind blowlnc H due pie
saving of the city from cr-tlre destruction.
Fourteen buildings on the north side and
three on the south side , covciinu u space
two blocks long , were burned.
The flro started In n two-story frame struc
ture on the north sldo df Main street below
Gold , and ns It and the adjoining
buildings weie constructed of resinous pine
and had been throughly seasoned by years of
occupancy , the flames spread with amazing
rapidity and soon wcro beyond the contiol of
the firemen.
Stai ting as It did at an early hour , C
o'clock , nml spreading so quickly , but llttlo
tlmo was given to the occupants of many of
the hoiibos to save much else than their
lives , and many nnriovv escapes are reported
The lire consumed the establishments of
H McIJonald , harness , Star and llullock ,
hardware and miner ; ) supplies , Demonth ,
Whalen & Graves , furniture ; Gib Stone ,
fuinltnre ; R. Hoffmann , clothing ; Nathan
Colman , wholesale cigars , O. Nelson , furni
ture and haidware ; 7 M. Duller , jewelry"
Fink's pawnbroklng shop , John Gllckauf ,
buber shop.
The fire burned for three hours , ami al
though the city Is splendidly equipped for
fighting fire , the firemen could not stop its
spread and the fact that \herc H n clear
space between the ground burned over and
Chinatown alone prevented that pail of the
town and tbo depots and freight bouses of
the KIkhorn from being burned also
Thebest estimate makes the total loss
$125,000 , with a total Insurance of $33,000.

The loss Is distributed olhong the follow

Springfield , $3,250 ; London and Lancashire ,
$1,250 , Phoonlt , $500. Practically all of
this Is total loss.
The cause of the fire Is unknown , but It
Is supposed to have been a defective Hue.
The water supply was so very short that
but ono stieim was tinned on the flro dur
ing the first forty minutes. Even this had
no pressure. This allowed the flro to get
beyond control. A largo part ot the burned
territory will bo rebuilt at once.
The | Lead City fire department rendered
valuable assistance.
This Is the most severe blow Deadwood
has received since the memorable morning
In November , 1879 , when starting In a llttlo
shanty on upper Sheunan utieet , a fire
spread to the business portion of the town
and did not stay Its progress until nearly
the entire place was destroyed
At that tlmo the city contained a popula
tion of nearly 7,000 people , and for n few
days the distress was appalling. Although
unneeded and unasked for , General Sturgis ,
then In command at Fort Meade , sent a
train load of supplies from the post for the
needy and a detachment of the Seventh
cavalry to preserve order. From num
erous pints of the countiy | on
that occislon came numerous offers of
substantial abslstanco , but the business men
at a meeting called for the purpose abso
lutely refused to accept n cent and set to
work to rebuild the city. From the ruins of
a mining camp sprung a substantial , well-
built city which has prospered and thrived ,
ami on this occasion It Is likely that , profit
ing by thu example set them In formci years ,
the citizens will .strive unaided to rebuild the
