Every Step Being Taken to Preclude
Possibility a! Any Fire
Disaster There. .
Special to Evening Review.
Portland, Jan. 6. Precautionary
measures on part of the city officials
are beiu taken to prevent any theatre
fire di- isters here similar to that which
occur, '.d in the Iroquois theatre, Chi
cago, last Wednesday. Today the city
council passed an ordinance establish
ing a commission to investigate theatres
to see that they comply with all require
ments for protection to patrons In cases
of Sre. The ordinance also requires
the stationing of a fireman and police,
man at each theatre during a per
formance, at the expense of the theatre
management.
IROOllOIS THEATRE CURTAIN.
Refused to Work a Week Before the
Disaster Took Place.
Chicago, Jan. 5. Evidence showing
grosser criminal neglect than anything
previously developed was given under
oath today in the fire department In
vestigation of the Iroquois horror.
Joseph Daugherty, who had charges of
the curtain, swore that two weeks ago,
during a matinee performance, there
was a fire on the stage' and that when
he attempted ''to lower the asbestos
curtain it w as stopped by the same ob
struction thi-.t prevented its operation
last Wednesday, the fatal afternoon.
The curtain manager declared that he
protested at that time, but that no
attention was paid to his warning. In
his opinion, if the curtain had been run 1
down during the fatal matinee, the
lives of many If not all the victims of
the dlsastermlgbthave been saved. It
was only by the merest chance that a
panic was averted as the result of the !
first tire. The skylight at that time,
he said, was securely closed.

It Is exceptional to find a family
where there are no domestic ruptures
occasionally, but these can be lessened
by having Dr. King's New Life Pills
around. Much trouble they save by
their great work in stomach and liver

but cure. 2.V, at A. C. Marsters & Co.,

of the Bouse of Representatives is a
charred mass of debris and cannot be
repaired in time for the approaching
session of the legislature.
The fire, which started about 10
o'clock, was not extinguished until ft
o'clock this evening, The supposition
Is that the Qre started either from a
lighted candle carelessly left burning,
or from an electric light wire.
The valuable volumes of the State
library, located near the fire, were re
moved and the State offices were hastily
emptied. The funds of the State
Treasurer's office were loaded on a
wagon and carried to a downtown bank
for deposit. Governor Cummins laid
aside his gubernatorial dignity and,
clad in rubber boots and rough coat,

Prominent Democrats Banquet
in New York.
DISCUSS NATIONAL ISSUES
Present Administration is Shown to
Have Many Shortcomings''
and Abuses.
New York, Jan. 5. The feature of
last night's banquet In honor of newly-
elected Mayor McClellan, of this city,
and attended by the most prominent
democrats of the country, was the
characteristic speech by David B. Hill,
who took occasion to roast Roosevelt
and his administration In a vigorous
manner.
He designated much of the policy of
the administration as ostentation and
called the army and nary establish
ments particularly the former
"spawning grounds of popinjay aris
tocracy." He said that commissions
were handed out to favorites of friends
or relatives of persons In the exclusive
set, regardless of bow St Buch recipi
ents were for a command In the army.
He recouuted the well-advertised fact
of the Washington belle who, during
and just subsequent to the Spanish war,
would Invite her young men admirers
to a pink tea, and bestow upon the
choicest of them commissions as second
lieutenants In the regular army. As
was afterward proved, the commissions
had been placed In her judicious hands
by her patron, who happened to be none
other than a man In the front seat of
the "stay-at-home vehicle" of the
army, or In other wordB, an oflloer of
nearly the highest rank in Washington,
I Among the other things Mr. Hill
said are the following:
"The plain truth ts that during the
present administration promotions In
the army have been hawked around and
bestowed here and there as though they
were personal or partisan gratuities to
be granted or withheld at the pleasure
of the appointing powers, regardless of
other considerations. This has created
much discontent and brought the army
to the verge of demoralization.
"The considerations to which I previ
ously alluded, and others to which I
need not refer, have been steadily and
surely creating a profound conviction in
the public mind, and especially among
thoughtful men, that a change In the
personnel in the present administration
is not only desirable but Imperative.
The signs of the times indicate on every
hand that the business Interests of the
country do not feel safe under existing
conditions.
"It Is not true that the growing oppo
sltlon manifested everywhere among
business men to a continuance In power
of the present regl me at W h I ngton has
arisen because of the asserted hostility
of the national administration to the
unreasonable demands of the monopoly.
That explanation, for obvious reasons,
is daily put forth at the white House
and Is Indicative of the cunning of the
desperate politician. The fact it that
the average business man has no re la- j
tlons with monopoly and is Independent
of its Influence. He foresees the evils
of misgovern meat rapidly accumulat
ing. He discovers that several of the
great departments of the government
are reeking with corruption. He re
calls the fact that It was only an aroused
public sentiment which compelled cab
inet officials to take serious notice of
grave charges of misconduct.
'In regard to the money question,
our differences are greatly exaggerated
and much misrepresented. There ought
not to be any difficulty at this time In
framing a financial plank acceptable to
every Intelligent and reasonable demo
crat. "
Mr. Olney mode an eloquent speech,
fn which he said:
"In matters 0! foreign policy, the
democratic party will stand for Inter
national morality and decent Inter
national conduct; for observance of
treaties' and obedion:e to international
law; for respect for the rights of every
nation, however small; for refusal to
take, by stealth or by robbery, what
we have no right to get except by con
sent of the owners; for continuing our
traditional role as the defender of the
weaker states of the hemisphere in
Htcud of becoming their spoliator; for
minding our busiuess general!, with
out meddling with the International af
fairs of foreign countries, and without
making rumors aud trlval oventB the
pretext for military demonstrations la J
foreign ports. , '
In matters domestic, the democratic
party will repudiate the 'stand pat ,
policy, and will advocate both economy 1
in expenditures and such tariff reform '
and revision as industrial conditions
and the interests of the country at
large demand. On that view It will
stand for a reasonable relation between
governmental revenues 'and govern
mental requirements; for clean admin
istration and ollicial conduct free from
every suspicion of graft; for amend
ment of existing tariff schedules in the
interest of the country.
"Mr. Chairman, the man of all men
most thoroughly representative of the
national policy I have indicated, the
most capable and sure of making them;
effective the opportunity being given
the man of proved courage In his con
victions, who never yet turned his back
upon the approach of. public duty at
this time, but a New Yorker by adop
tion, if not by birth and one whom
New York hizi always delighted to
honor, that man Is Grover Cleveland,
whose record In the past ts an all-sufficient
guarantee of his action in the
future."
Among the very prominent men
present last night were: Richard Ol
ney of Massachusetts; David B. Hill, of
New York; Congressman De Armond,
of Missouri; Chas. A. Towne, ex-Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania; Wm.
A. Gaston, of Boston, and Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall.
Several men of national renown sent
letters of regret, among whom were:
Grover Cleveland, Judge Alton B. Par
ker, Senator Gorman, of Maryland and
Senator Morgan, of Alabama.
A Very Ooso Gall.

every joint ached an every nerve was
racked with pain," writes C. W. Bel
