Y., March 8.—Shortly after 9 o'clock Sunday morning the rooit disastrous confirgration that has ever visited Utica, broke out in the extensive shoe manufactory of If. J. Holbrook 4. Co., on Catharine 'tree". The flames spread with fearful rapidity, and soon the building was in a mass of flames. The fire departm-nt r»- spi ndad promptly to tlie alarm. The flra jommunicaied to the wbolaaale clothing esablishme t of J. Rockwell & Co. and tba Ttlra City National bank. The flames raged uriously, and asaistance was telegraphed for, which was responded to by the departments of Rome, Whiten bore and Little Palls. In a short space of time the flie had reached the stwre of N. C. Newell & Son. dealers in paints, etc., which proved itself to la exoellent bur ing material. The drug store 3f John B. McMillan, next adjoining, was also burnod, and tho office, press roQin, etc., Df Ti e I'aily Observer, ii tlio samu building, was completely gti tod. Nothing was sav.d ?xcept th D Illes Tho wholesale grocery house of Comstock Bros and the store of James Snyers & Sen, dealers in hardware, belting, etc., and tha plumbing establishment of E. Martin were completely wrecked M B. furniture warerooms was laid in ashes, and P. J. Cray, insurance office, Clominzer's barber shop and Truston's billiard room were completely burned. Many other •stnhlisbmants were badly injured by water. The heat on the opposite side of the street was intense, and a large quantity of plate glass was destroped. The flro was under control about 1 o'clock P. M The loss is variously estimated at o:ie and one half to two million dollars. Th ) origin of the fire is a mystery, but it is supposed to nave caught in tho engine room of the Holbrook's tu ld.ng.

The weather wii very stormy from the first day aft r leaving Liverpool. As they neared the grand banks of Newfou dland they ran Into a fleet of icebergs and a heavy, fog bank at the same time. During the ensuing night, just aa they believed all dang r past, they crushed into a tremendous iceb irg, staving an immense hole in their bow. The vessel had water-tight compartments, or she would undoubt diy have sunk immediately. It was morning before they got free from the ice, and the pumps bad to be kept constantly going during the remainder of bDD voyage to keep the steamer afloat. z u_A CAIRO*-'  \ JJ J D9X19* \ G/B*nl Sue/J/ C: Mlnlelif^ cq co |^KoDelr^-^^ Keneljp Ipg^d^ j Euieh^' Dqngoft v & JSy j J e Uamtt J Sln.

Washi nqton, March 3.—In the house of representatives 8a. unlay afternoon, Representative John Anderson, of Kansas, availed himself of the latitude of a general rixba e to d scuas the question of postal telegraphy. He reviewed the testimony which has 1 * e ■ taken by the senate committee on post ofllces and post roads to show that the Western Union company has a practical monopoly of the telegraph business, and called the attention of the house to the query, "Whether, instead of making heavy and indefinite appropriations for tel graphic service rendered by private corporations year after yiar and decade after decade, it may no; bo cheaper, wiser and better for the government to build and operate lines of its own?" He summed up the constitutionality of the question as "not one of power, but of $80,000,000," and said: "This constitution has been so frequently played on many different measures and so often exposed that I turn from it with the remark that the ardent so licitude for the integrity of the constitution evinced by the Western Union, the Htandarif Oil company, the land grant railroad bur* lai s and the whole host of corporation pi ra es, would be amusing if it were not so nau-tat.ngly disgusting, and possibly war rants tne hope that this noble charter of iilD erty, whicn had a mighty time of it befor. they w.-re born, will yet now, and in some feeble, way manage to struggle down th centuries."

Washington, March 3.—"This is a lasy congress," is ths current and common expression frequently heard hers during the past few weeks. Congress lias now been in session three months, the full term uf its second session, and has one appropriation bill (West Point) in the senate, one (naval) in committee of the whoV, and two (post office and agriculture) on the calendar, with ten that have not yet left committees. The res-ults of the labors of toe house up to the prpsjnt time are the passage of forty-one bills, including seventeen pension bills passed at Friday night's session and eleven joint resolutions which have been sent to the senate. Of theso, five bills and nine joint resolutions have been passed ty I lie senate and sigred by the president, and are now laws. There are now three bills that havn got the right of way in the hous« as special or ders, as follows: The Mexican veteran pension bill, the bill to remove burdens on the merchant marine, etc., and the interstate commerce bill. Either of ti.osa is likely to occupy thD* available time of the house for a week, after allowing for the time occupied on Mondays by the call of states, suspensiou of rules, etc. WllolfSHlP Ml'1 Ut*. .11,1,-lot , Hull, « y t Co.. 602 Arch H'nvi. 1*1 iSa C p i v i j T? 1 W ampule A Co., 418 M«rket alivel, PtiUadsi. pliia. „ , The Voltaic Belt Co., oi Marat,alt, Mich., offer to send Dr. Dye's Celebrated Yoltaia Belt aud Eloclric Appliancea on trial, fcr thirty days, to men. old and voiin?. with no'vnns debility, lost vitality, and mat r other diseases.

This afternoon a careful estimate ol thn strength of the Democratic opposition was made and it is found to be easily eqnn to tho task of blocking all tariff legislation for the yoar. This conclusion is rea.'hed after an actual count, which brings to ligh the fact that fifty members of the majority will vote with the Republicans. Thirty-flv. would be enough; so that the fate of the bill is not involved in much doubt. There is m possibility of overcoming tbe hoptless di vision. It has been found that I lie concession made by reducing the number of the articles to bo placed on the free list has beei a profitless bid and will attract not so many Votes as could be counted upon the fingers o. one band. The fact that the Democratic ojpo ition has effected a formal organisatioi leaked out Saturday afternoon. It will Ui solid and irreooncilable and will stand precisely where tbo Republicans stand upon thi tariff. It will listen to no overtures and will re ist as a matter of principle any and every effort to interfere with the exist in); tariff. It is impossible to estimate thn gravity of this spot. At a late hour Satur day night, it was rumored that Morris.ui had ri solved to adi #oal and fait, and if necessary lumbor, to the sacrifices ba has mode in thrf matter of ths free list. He is said to be counting upon tho probability of cap uiing Republican Votes, but tho Repub li. a'is laugh at the idea, and declare tha when the bill is presented they will go in to strik» out the enacting clause and vote for the motion to a man. Such a motion is not debatable, so that if the Democratic opposition is strong enough thy bill may be killed ill half an hour. CONDENSED NEWS.

The action is brought, by Miss Fortescue (late of tbe Savo theatre) against Lord Oarmoyle, eldest son of Bail Cairns. Efforts are still being made to settle the matter out of court. There is, however, little probability that an ar rangement will be come to, the plaintiff feeling that, as her acquaintanceship with the defendant has beau freely d.scussed, both in society and in the public press, she has no alternative but to bring tie matter before a court of justice, so that similar publicity may be given to ths circumstances attending tbe severing of theco inection. The statement of the plainLifl's claim has not yet been put in, but there is reason to belisve that the damage will in all probability be laid at £50,000. It will bo urged that no less sum than this will compensate tbe lady tor loss of position in society to which sbs would have been entitled as the wife of a peer, and iu anticipation or which she retired from the stage.

In the end, the stronger weekly in a town would be loi c'ed into the combination. But wben this occurred generally these weeklies would be as much within the poss.bie power of the Western Uniou, of which Mr. Gould is said to tDe chief owner and controller, as are the dailies now.

To my mind, that measure is a glaring wrong, glittering with impertinence, a.d tbe weekly press of the nation had better wake up.
