LINCOLN. Jan. 23. (Special Telegram.)
The table of senatorial tinllotB presents
ns much of a Chinese puxzln an ever, which
everyono ran work at with no better chance
of Immeillato solution than any ono clue.
An will bo toon, thu figures for several of
tho prlnrlpnl candidates went further up
ward an tho result of new acquisitions, but
tho number of votes still masked behind
men not actually In tho rnco keeps the
ntmosphcro a trlllo hazy.
Analysis of tho few changes In readily
mado by Inspection of tho roll'cnll. Thomp
son gathered In two voton, thoso of Scott
of I'awneo and Fowler of Fillmore, that
were both In tho legislature of two yeara
ngo and at that tlmo docldedly nntngonls
tlc tn him. That Influences of tho strong
est order must hnvo been brought to bear
to work this result la tho only Inference
to ho drawn.
Two votes wero added to tho Itosowatcr
strength. Johnson of Phelps, who had yes
terday complimented Currle, returning, and
Hall of Hurt falling In with Speaker Soars.
At the sifrile' tfiho'ffyjderihnH of Jefferson'
went over to Mclklcjohn, who also added
ono other vote. Had Sonator Ilaldrlgo been
prcsont, tho Itosewater voto would havo
been 17.
Tho fuslonlsts scattered a little more to
day than at any tlmo slnco tho first ballot.
Riving n few complimentary to Merge,
Ilroady, Harrington, Hitchcock and Suther

son, tho caucus nominees. Tho (unionists
purpose adopting rules for tho caucus bind
ing tlielr members In tho futuro to stay
In lino with tho caucus decision. Instead
of thus flying nt random. The Idea bo
hind this movo Is the old hope that by hold
ing out solidly they may eventually bo
Rblo to strike a deal with eomn republican
by which they might savo to fusion
ono of the sonatorshlpg they would llko
fco much to capture.
fit il i' ii ii Still In the llliitniipr.
To n man up n treo It looks as If tho
prospect for a lopubllcan caucus were still
Indefinitely remote. At least no one has
any couftdmco In seeing it materialize this
weok. Tho friends of Mr. Thompson, how
ovor, nro not remitting their efforts to pro.
cure agreement to their proposal to go Into
caucus and nomlnnto tholr man first and
then let all others shift for themselves.
They claim to Imvo secured forty-nine sig
natures to their paper, which Is to be ef
fective when signed by sixty Beven, but
many who signed It did so because ontlsflcd
It could never get tho necessary number to
mako It effective. In the menntlmo tho
single nomtniitlon advocates nro holding
conferences for tho purpose of bracing ono
another up anil Incidentally figuring If thorn
Is nny common ground on which all cau
jet together.
About twenly-llvo members who Blgned
tho C7-I8 cnll met tonight and elected a
committee, consisting of Senator Johnson
and Representatives Wilkinson and Tweed,
lo elrculato a petition for a senatorial
caucus. Tho petition will contemplate the
Ingle nominating system of voting, and If
enough signers can bo obtained tho meeting
will bo held tomorrow evening.
Tho opposition to tho single nomination
wonts a caucus rulo that will lnsuro the
nomination of two senators simultaneously.
Bomo talk has been Indulged In the direction
of organising for an anti-Thompson move
ment, but tho Douglas county members,
whllo standing out for simultaneous nom
ination, declare (hey do not want to be
classed bb nntl-nny'body. because they nro

any particular person,

That tho fuslonlsts nro watching tho con

MONTREAL, Jan. 21. -1 a. m. One of the
most dlrastrous f.rc from which this city
has suffered bgan nt S o'clock last night
nnd notwithstanding the effort! of the en
tire department tho flames were not checked
until 1 o'clock this morning. Uy Mm tlnm
It had destroyed property valued nt be
tween $2,"0O.O0O and $1.onn.000. and was still
burning, though tlm appearance Is that the
firemen havo at Inst got It under control.
Included In tho properly burned Is the
splendid Hoard of Trade building, .which
rest over $,'00,000 nnd housed over 100
tennuts and half a dozen largo business
hotircs and two score smaller concerns.
Tho weather was cold anil tho Ilremen
wero greatly hampered In this respect.
Outside of the Hoard of Trade building
there wns not n modern structure among
those burned.
The narrow streets, nntlnuntrd bulldlnris
nnd the Inflammable nature of the stockr
they contained mado a combination which
the department wns powerless to overcome.
The fire practically but tied until It ennio
to open space,, which gave the Ilremen an
opportunity for effective work. For ntlme
it looked ns If the tlninos would spread
nlong Commissioner street to the (Irani!
ofuoo building In the course of erection
there. Crowds of people Jammed tho nar
row streets and the police could not con
trol them. Women fainted nnd their
clothes wero torn nnd a few slightly In
jured In rushes for safety.

The fire started nt 8:03 p. m. In the
premises of M. Saxo &. Sons, wholesale
clothiers at Letnolno nnd St. l'eter streets.
Tho streets were deserted nt thnt time
nnd tho fire had gotten n good headway be
foro tho first alarm was sent In. Tho fire
men found the building, n three-story stone
structure, a maBs of flames. A second and
third nlarm was sent In Immediately, but
before tho nenrest reinforcements reached
the scone the llamcs had leaped ncross St.
I'oter street, which Is very narrow at this
point, and nttiirked the big fHe-slory stoim
building occupied. by II. A. Nelson & Soil's
company, dealers In fancy goods. Hero It
Bpread as rapidly ns It had In tho Saxe
building. In nn Instant It seemed the cn
tlro building wns a joarlng furnace.
The warehouse of Heardmoro & Co., tan
ners, adjoining Nelson's to tho south, was
next attacked, and from there tho llamcs
communicated to the establishment of Sil
verman. Houlter & Co., wholesale hattcrn
nnd furriers. Hero another Inflammable
stock ndded to tho fierceness of the flames.
in tho meantime tho llamcs had continued
down St. I'oter street on tho side they
started to St. I'aul street, Hiking up tho
premises of J. Hordeaux & Co., Jobbers in
hats nnd caps. St. l'eter street for an en
tlro block wns n mass of flnmcs on either
side. i
1'iitllo r.tTorln In Smr Hoard of Trade,
During this tlmo n great fight was being
mado to save tho big Hoard of Trade build
ing, erected eight years nso at a cost of
$000,000, and ndloinlng the Nelson building
on the north side.
For a long time the efforts of tho brlgndd
wore successful, a plentiful supply of water
keeping the oxposed portions cool. Hut
tho flames had extended nlong tho north
sldo of St. I'aul street, going west from Sil
verman, Houlter & Co.'s, licking up hulf a
dozen concerns In Its way, until It had
reached tho big wholesalo fur establishment
of lames Corlstlno d Co. This Initialing ex
tended nil the way from St. l'nul street to
tho Hoard of Trade building nnd tho flnmcs
nppenred to go through It llko n tinder
box. When tho rear wall of this building
wns reached It was seen thnt tho Hoard of
Trade wo'ilil hnvo to go, too.
Solid sheets of flame sprang out nnd up
nnd seized hold of tho big building In a
doen places, driving tho Ilremen back.
The newer nnd more modern structure
burned moro slowly (linn thoso which al
ready had fallen prey to the flames, but
tho firemen could not stay tho march of
the devouring element.
Ily this time every pleco of fire-fighting
apparatus the city possessed was lu use.
Two water tower which had failed to keep
tho blaze out of the Hoard of Trado build
ing wero shifted around to St. I'aul street,
but hero ngaln they wero too late.
lielft Into WhnliNiili DUIrlet.
The lire spread across tho narrow street
and attacked tho premises of Thomas David
son & Co., manufacturing tinsmiths, then
spreading both east nnd west. From the
north sldo of St. I'aul street tho flames
leaped across the street nnd destroyed the
premises of Thomas Davidson &. Co.. the
dry goods establishment of II. Levy und half
a dozen other concerns. On Lemolnn street
tho 'extonslvo wholesalo grocery store of
Laporte, Martin & Co. took fire. After the
Ilremen had abandoned nil hope of saving
tho Hoard of Trado building they concen
trated tholr efforts mainly on this building
for the spread of tho flames In this district
would mean tho loss of tho entlro wholesale
dry goods Bection.
At 1:30 the tiro was under control.

serious conditions. His acquaintance with

In tho footsteps of tho three Ocorgcs."
Tho Cologne Volks Zeltung emphasizes
that Kmperor William's visit to Kngland U

Kmperor William's message announcing
Queen Victoria's death to his mother wns

LONDON. Jan. 23. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. 1 London to
day was garbed In mourning nut of respect
to the memory of Kngland's lamented queen,
but tho air und deiiii anor of people of all
classes suggested i.ither a cheerful Interest
nnd oxpeetniiry rather than grief, ami tho
complete nnwdty of 'the Mutation, tho en
ticing prospect of gorgeous and stately
pageants, und the struuge sensation of tho
nation's once more seeing n king on tho
throne, quickly deadened their conscious
ness of the loss the nation has sustained.
Some time must elnpso before the great
sovereign Is seen In her t run proportions.
In tho meantime the city that wns her eftp
Itnl for sixty years Is moro Interested In
her successor. I saw tho king drlvo to
Murlbnrough houso on his arrival this
morning. Ho was In n closed seml-stato
carriage, in deep mourning, wenring a black
frock coat. Willi broad black stripes on his
shirt cuffs, and carried an umbrella with
a black handle. A crowd gathered nlong
tho route, and nil uncovered as liu passed.
The horses proceeded nt slow trot nnd tho
king leaned out of the window, acknowl
edging the salutations of his subjects. It
wns 11 West Knd fashionable crowd mainly,
and the ladles testified their recognition of
bU new station by courtesylng to thu
ground ns If at court. This effect wi:s pe
cullnr, but the king looked solemn and
dtgnilled and somewhat oppressed. Thero
was a perreptiblo Increase In Uio con
desicnslon of his bow, as Ihero undoubt
edly wnn in the respectful nwo with which
his subjects gued upon him. Tlio duko
of York followed In tho ncxt'vnriiase. Ho
nppenred to bo In unaccustomed gocd spir
its, and bowed with extrcmo affability,
though ho usually Inclines to stiffness and
reserve.
ICiiiKT I.onpn III I'reeiluiii.
Tho king seemed lo tnke his olovntlnn
with dubious feelings. Ho gains 11 largo
income und thu prestlgo of bovcrelgnty,
but loses his froodom nnd Incurs an onerous
responsibility. Ho must abandon his pleas
nnt trips to Hamburg uud Mouto Carlo.
Ho con no longer go In mufti to stay lu his
"ooms at the Jockey club for the New
market rnco meetings. Ho must glvo up
his sociable habit of turning into tho Marl
borough or Turf club In tho afternoon or
lato at night for bridge or bacenrnt. Thoso
delightful and cosy country houso parties,
whero everything wus provided for his en
tertainment, must In tho futuro be few nnd
far between. Ho will have, on tho other
hand, plenty of opportunities for cultivat
ing tho Joys of domesticity, for which ho
hns never developed a taste. Tho "duko of
York, on tho contrary, iluds his Income
Jump from $30,000 to 1100,000, whllo slmul
aneniiHly his anomalous status nf nnvliiL
ponaltles of royalty without possessing nny
of its privileges worth having disappears.
A privy counselor present nt tho proclama
tion council says ho king uln,i0 u m,ttst
admirable Impression by his speech, which
wns considered tactful nnd delivered with
dignity. His explanation nf his ndoptlon
of tho stylo of Kdwurd VII, ns was pre
dicted days ago, shows his Ingonulty In
putting n gocd faco 011 a somewhat awk
ward business, Tomorrow ho will bo pro
claimed king at St, James palace, In hla own
presence, and subsequently at four other
points of metropolis. Thun ho will return to
Osbomo when tho body of tho queen will
bo .removed to Windsor early next week, to
llo in state, colllned, lu Waterloo cham
ber, tho day prior to tho Interment, Friday
week. Thero will bono lying In stiito at St.

Tho king's first sthto appoarauco will

I'lrnl Hlnlr AiieiiriiiiiT,
Premier Salisbury's nbeenco from Osborm
during tho last moments of tho queen re
mains without public explanation, and
caiibes widespread speculation In court
political circles. According to Information
that como through ti sure channel, Salis
bury remained nvny owing to strained pei
sonnl relations between him and tho king.
Tho Times editorial today on tho new king
partly offers a duo to tho mystery, whero
It says, "ivo fhitll not pretend there b.
nothing In his lencthv career, which thru,.
I who respect and udmlro him could not wls'i
oinerwipe.
Theso warning words aro said lo icf
not to tho Mordaunt ruso of thirty jrnr
Hgn, nor even to the 'friinby Croft nenndn!,
but to tin more recent eplsodo conccrnliu
which Salisbury on behulf of tho quec i
read the prlnco n severe lecture, which tie
counts for their now reported unfriendly
relations. Tho serious nspect of this matter
Is that under such a condition of things
Salisbury's tenure of premiership ennnot
endure long, and then tho unionist govern
ment will go to pieces.
