Washington, Jan. 21. At the close
of the morning hour, Mr. Stanford
addregsed the senate in support of his
bill to provide the government with
means sufficient to supply national
wants of a sound circulating medium
through the instrumentality of a land
bureau.
Mitchell asked Stanford whether,
under the proposed bill, any large cor
poration that was a large owner of land
land-grant railroads, for example
could not borrow to half the assessed
value of the lands. Stanford replied in
the affirmative. Morrill inquired
whether there was to be more than one
place in each state where money was to
be loaned by the government. Stanford
said the idea was to have an agency of
the land bureau in every large city and
town of a state. Morrill suggested that
would entail a very large expense, and
Stanford replied the agencies would not
be necessary in every state. Pfeffer
made a long speech in advocacy of the
bill, which was then laid- aside, and the
La Abra bill again taken up, but with
out disposing of it, the senate went into
executive session and soon adjourned
until Mondav.

The Anarchists Again Before the Courts
A British Steamer Destroyed
By Fire. .
Austin, Tex., Jan. 21. General May
bry has just returned from the Rio
Grande.. He called on Garza's fatherT
in-law and urged him to use his influ
ence to have' Garza surrender to the
United States troops. The old man
promised he would. General Maybry
argued that if he surrendered to the
American troops this government can
demand that he have a fair trial should
he be extradited and turned over to
Mexico, but that, if he does not surren
der he will be captured within ' ten
days. Garza's wife, General Maybry
says, is quite pretty ind rather putric
ian in appearance.. She Beenis very
proud of her husband; who evidently
has impressed her with the notion that
he will eventually be the rtiler of Mex
ico. The youn'ff wife does not doubt his
success. Garza was undoubtedly traced
to Corpus Christi last week, and it is
barely possible that he may have been
in San Antonio, though General May
bry doubts it. The . great, majority of
the people near the Rio Grande are in
sympathy with him. Garza keeps his
men so well scattered in squads of not
over twent or thirty, that General
Maybry thinks it is not likely that they
can be "forced together for a general en
gagement of much consequence.

A Water Famine in Chicago. .
Chicago, Jan..21. This city is suffer

Elevators are closed down and fires are
banked to prevent the explosion of boil-,

New Yoek, ,Jan. 22. The. Record"!
Washington special says the administration-awaits
a report from Minister
Egan as to the intentions of the Chilian
government. "The minister has been in
structed to call on the cabinet at SantU
ago for an immediate categorical answer
to the question whether Chili has any
intention of making a favorable response
to the demands of the United States,
either now or at some other time: An
answer to the demand is expected hourly
but up to this eveniag none has been
received. .Dispatches have come from
Minister Egan, but none of them has
conveyed any information of a nature to
change the condition of the ' contro
versy. A definite declaration ' of the
Chilian government, that if if is given
time r'o allay the feeling at home it will
withdraw tha offensive note and will
make an apology fof the Valparaiso out
rage', will be accepted by our govern
ment in good faith, and every oppor
tunity will be afforded the distracted re
public to make good its pledge. A re
fusal to answer Egan's "request, one way
or another, will have but one meaning.
,In sending to Minister Egan its demand
for a categorical answer Irom Chili, the
administration has deliberately ignored
the presence of Minister Montt, as the
representative of the Santiago govern
ment. ; -'..'!:'' ,..) ..
To Show Who is to Blame: '.
Washington,. Jan, 22. No dispatches
were received today at either the state
or navy; departments in regard to the
condition of affairs in Cbi'i. At the
meeting of the cabinet today the Chilian
question was discussed. . It is impossible
at this writing to obtain any official in
formation on this subject, but it is gen
erally understood the cabinet has prac
tically decided to submit, the matter to
congress early next week in order that
congress, as well as the country at large,
might know the exact status of the con
troversy. While such a course would
not in itself indicate the termination of
diplomatic negotiations for a settlement
of the matter in disputed it would eive
the public through congress an opportu
nity to determine which country, is re
sponsible for the present unsettled state
of affairs; - ,
A SURGICAL 1XSTUTK "BURNED. '
Several People Meet a Horrible Death.
Isdianapolis, Jan. 22. At 11:45 p.
id. an alarm, of fire was sent in from the
I the corner of " Meridian and Georgia
,j streets. Being in the heart, of the
j wholesale trading district, people natur
! expected a great fire, but when the box
1 at Illinois and Louisiana streets' was
( pulled and in a moment the second and
j third alarms were heard, it was plain
! the conflagration was a dangerous . one.
Every piece of fire-fighting apparatus : in
i the citv was " "quickly "on: the run,
and upon their arrival the fireman
were horrifiied to see flames leap
ing from the 'roof an! 'fourth-flour
windows of the 'National Surgical
Institute, located on the corner of Illi
nois and Georgia streets, with extension
on the latter street. About 250 cripples
were in the institute at the time. The
! building was almost totally enveloped
; in flames, and the order was "Let the
J building burn, . but save the people:"
When the fire was discovered it was
confined to the Georgia-street building,
I but soon swept across the alley and both
j buildings were soon enveloped in flames.
On the third and fourth floors horrible
work was done. . The buildings were a
network of narrow halls, entrances and
stairways. ' ;
In the small rooms throughout the
building were from one to. four beds, all
occupied by patients, many perfectly
helpless. When they became aware of
their peril,' they "were "frantic in their
efforts to reach places of safety. Every
effort was made by the firemen, police
and ambulance forces to rescue the in
mates,, and many acts of heroism and
daring were performed. The surgical
institute was a veritable fire-trapJ In
one room were two women, " both of
whom perished. In another there was
a man whose ' lower extremities were
paralyzed; although unable to walk, he
dragged himself to a window at the rear
of the building and threw 'himself out.
He dropped about , eight feet to the roof,
then to another, and finally rolled off to
the ground, saving himself from death.
The entire rear half of the Georgia street
building fell in. The debris filled com
pletely the first story, and when the
firemen began, their search for the dead
they were obliged to commence- work on
a level with the second floor. It will be
several days .before they can reach the
bottom. :

lives while an equal number received
injuries more or less serious. The loss

Working for the Appropriation.
AVobkington, Jan. 22. Representa
tive Hermann is doing . some earnest
work toward obtaining congressional re
cognition for bis portage railway project
at the dalles of the Columbia, for which
his bill was recently introduced. This
bill .is a repetition' of the substitute
reported by him in the fifty firet con
gress for the senate ship railway bill. In
view of the well-defined ; purpose of this
congress to reduce appropriations and
especially to discourage all new projects,
Mr.. Hermann expresses the opinion
that, so far as the house is concerned, it
will be morally impossible to get any
thing for a great undertaking like a ship
railway or a canal, and says he believes
it to be his duty to concentrate all his
efiorls for the $431,000 appropriation
through the regular river and harbor bill
for a portage railway to circumvent the
rapids of the Columbia, between The
Dalles and Celilo. He has telegraphed
the board of trade at The Dalles that a
delegation will be heard, and has urged
that statistics be forwarded.. He today
moved 'in the river and harbor com
mittee that a hearing on this project be
given, to Tony J oltner, of Portland, now
here with the democratic national com
mittee, is "bringing every possible influ
ence to bear upon the committee. . He
has submitted to CDttgresS and the com

Washington, Jan. ' 22.. Joseph P.
Bradley, associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States, died at 0:15
this morning at his residence, of general
debility. His deatli was not unexpected
as it was known for some months that
he was far from being well. An attack
of grip last spring left him in a much
debilitated condition, from which he
seemed to rally. During the greater
part of the present term of court he was
unable to be present, and with his de
clining years, and the cold damp
weather preyailing it was .impossible for
him to recover. Two days ago he rallied
and it was thought he might shake of
the illness, but yesterday he began sink

On the' Verge of Dissolution.
Omaha, Jan. 22. There is plenty "of
evidence that the Union Pacific and
Northwestern trafic arrangement is not
being lived op to and is on the verge of
dissolution. The . Union Pacific has
brought to. Omaha a number of con
signments from Colorado, billed for
Chicago, but instead of turning them
oyer to the Northwestern at this point,
they have been sent over the Missouri
Pacific to Kansas City , and thence to
Chicago, an unnatural and roundabout
route. , This has been going on for some
