Hani to ( ict n Ministry to Look After
MADRID , May 23. The position ot tbo
cabinet U the theme of most anxious dls-
cuKfllon on all sides. Some of the government
organs think the ministry should meet the
Cortes tomorrow , endeavor to secure the
adoption of such bills as are pressing and
then suspend the session ns soon aa possible.
Others think a ihange of policy expedient
and , In fact , Inevitable. All admit this dif
ficulty of appointing n ministry to carry on
tha business of the country.
The cabinet sal In council this evening
until S o'clock and It waa decided to appear
before the Cortes tomorrow and give explana
tion * of the Tetuan-Comas Incident of Fri
day , tvcn If the liberals should alisent them-
delves. A special committee of the Cham
ber of Deputies will be Instructed to consider
the budget bill.
LONDON , May 24. The Standard's corre
spondent at Madrid says :
In the conference held on Saturday between
the president ot the stnale , the premier anu
Senor Saganta with reference to the Tctuan-
COnias Incident the president eaid he would
not be Justified In Interfering , as * the affair
had not occurred In the Senate chamber , but
In the lobby. The premier declared that
the opposition ought to bo satisfied If the
duke ot Tcttlnn announced In the Senate
chamber that he never Intended to slighter
or give offense to the liberal minority. He
added that the government could not dis
pense with the duke of Tetuan's services en
minister of foreign affaire , because he alone
was acquainted with and able to conduct
Important and delicate pending negotiations
with foreign governments ( meaning Amer
ica. )
Senor Segasta promised to give his fol
lowers , conciliatory advice , but said be must
be governed by their dec'fllon. ' Accordingly
he summoned a meeting of the liberals , who
were In no conciliatory temper. However ,
after a prolonged discussion they gave a
vote of confidence to Senor Sagasta , with
lustrucllons to settle the conlllct on UK
understanding thai they would not cntet
lie Coites until the government had llvcr
lioin such satisfaction as Senor Segastr
Icemetl proper.
The dissenting conservatives declared thai
liey would follow the decision of the lib'
rale , and therefore ministerialists only have
ecu present In Parliament since Friday
'he premier , on receiving the reply of Senoi
Sagasta , went to the place to Inform tin
, uoen regent , who summoned ft counacl o
nlnisters.
The crls's has withdrawn popular attcn
entlon from the attitude of the United State ;
enate , which a majority of the newspaper :
and the ministers affect to consider wllhou
mportance as bearing on the Immediate re
atlons of the two countries.
LONDON , May 23. The Madrid corrc
pondcnt of the Times s > ays : Seldom In thi
ilstory of the Cortes has an event createi
nich a sensation as the Tetnan-Comas In
cldent. It Is difficult to conceive how a stall
nd experienced statesman like the duk <
of Tettian could have so completely lost hi
self-control on so blight a provocation. I
s believed that Senor Sagasta Is willing t <
lo all ho consistently can to minimize th
lldlcultles of the situation , but It seenii
mpcesible that the duke of Tetuan shouli
retain his portfolio.

the "depository" at Rochester has been , dls
continued and the Issue of new publication
has been greatly restricted.
The report says that the mcst of all to b

then elates that notwithstanding the liar
times the sales during the year have beei
slightly larger than those of the pr'ci'dlni

WASHINGTON , May 23. On Tuesday next ,
on weeks oml a tiny after the beginning
( the session , the senate will take up tlio
arlff bill , for the paesago of which the stolen
lon was especially catted. The bill was to
lave been called up Monday , but the death
f Senator Knrle of South Carolina will rcn-
er necessary an adjournment for a day.
lenator AUlrlchwill call tip the bill , movt ?
t9 consideration and make a speech In , Us
nvor. The democratic amendment , striking
tit tlio Internal revenue features of the Bill ,
vlll bo Introduced by Senator Vest. After
his tlio course of procedure la somewhat
mleflnltc. ' S-VV'
- > \\J > *
The democrats are not clra > nslo whether
hey will permit the Immediate taking up of
ho schedules , or will permit sot speeches
scaring on tlio general policy of the bill ,
bo prevailing opinion among the democratic
coders Is against the policy of set speeches
at the bcglrnlng of the session , but they will
lot attempt to restrain Individual senatoro
vho may wish to be lieard. There are somu
[ emocratlo senators who are disposed to
dlscufB the general features of the bill , and
vho Incline to the belief that the best time
or such speeches will be while the debate
wi the bill Is young. Senator Vest dues not
expect to make a speech In presenting the
notion to strike out the revenue features ,
nit the motion may lead to debate , and If
xceptlon Is taken to It the Missouri senator
vlll bo heard from.
The silver republicans and populists will
cek opportunity during the pendency of the
bill to submit some remarks of a political
nature. and some of them may bo heard
during the week. The general sentiment
among straight republicans Is adverse to the
ncourageracnt of any general discussion of
he bill , or long speeches on the schedules ,
but no party policy has yet been decided
: pon. A caucus has been called for this
purpose to be held Monday afternoon.
OPPOSITION TO SOME SCHRDULES.
There will undoubtedly be strong opposM-
lon to some of the schedules on the part
of the republican senators and amendments
vlll bo firmly prereed. Some of these
amendments will be offered to the chemical
schedule , the llrst of the list , nnd they will
probably be reached during the present
vcelc. Other features of the bill which re
publican senators will attack are the e nf-
TectlnK sugar and wool duties and takliiR
ildes rrom the free list. Senator Petllgrcw'o
nmeirlment against trusts Is certain to prove
fruitful of much general debate when
reached.
Senator Altrich says ho will not speak to
exceed on hour in time on Monday. He will
give , for the first time , the estimate of the
epubllean members of the finance eommlt-
: eo of the amount of rc\enue the bill will
produce , and will explain the committee's
planof action , giving the reasons for some
of the more Important amendment * made.
Ills statement Is anticipated wltlf'mucu Inter
est. In reply to a question Mr.Aldrtch ,
who will have charge of the bill on bshalf of
the republican side of ihc senate , said today
that when the bill was once taken up he
would press consideration to the exclusion of
all other business except conference reports
until It should be finally disposed of.
The conference report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill will probably be consid
ered some time during the week. The con
ference committee has practically agreed on
a compromise on the forestry reservation pro
vision , which they hope will prove satisfac
tory to all parties , but whether It will or not
can only be determined when the report Ie
presented to congreM.
HOUSE FORECAST.
The iMorgan resolution recognizing tin
belligerency of the Cuban Insurgents , which
passed the senate on Thursday , will be actoc !
upon by the bouso this week. That Is the
decision of the republican leaders. Tbej
have decided to block the resolution until
the plans of the president , which are now
maturing , are more formulated. There will
doubtlecs be a demand on the part of the
minority for action , but they are powerles :
to secure consideration unless the rules com
mlttee wlU report a special order. This th (
rules committee will not do. The majorltj
will antagonize any attempt to force con-
rlderatlon with a motion to adjourn untl
Thursday. On Thursday the conference re
port on the Indian cr sundry civil bills ma ]
be ready. If one or the other Is not readj
the house will adjourn until the following
Monday.

The building was occupied for both busi
ness and dwelling purposes. In the base
ment Is an all-night eating house. The
Weber Piano company occupies the first
floor and the upper part of the building Is a.
[ urnlshcii room establishment conducted by
Mrs. Curtis.
Before the firemen readied the scene the
building was Illlcd with names. The hall
way from the nisi noor to the roof was In ,
flamcH and escape by the front \\as cut
on' . Panic seized the Inmates of the house.
While a tenant named Laniont was crawling
along the narrow sill to reach the adjoining
iiouao the body of a woman struck a largo
sign which \\as on the ciltslle of the buildIng -
Ing and toblch he clung for n support. The
sign was torn from ils fastenings nnd fell
with a crash to the street. The woman was
Mis. Howies , who bad precipitated bcrselC

it is believed that n belated tenant lit a
match In the hallway to see bis way and
carelessly tossed the still burning match
away. The fire started at the foot of the
stairs and the light well acted as a nuo
to carry the flam en to the roof Instantly.
The damage was about $2,000.
