The area of total destruction !« Washington, Feb. 1.—After an eventful legislative experience beginning with the present session of congress and covering abotit two months the bill for the reorganiaatlon of the United States army Ed Ita last stage in congress and now to the proaident for his signature, final step Wis taken in the senate, where, by a vote of 33 to 25, the confer ence report on the bill was agreed to. The houae of representatives already had agreed to report. FOR TEN DAYS. Jiee between Flret arenue, the East riTer, Thlrty-Hret and Thlrty-aecond etreets. Njarly half the block aouth of Thirtyfrit.' street was alio destroyed, together with a Taat expanae of lumber yards and coal and wood sheds extending southward from Thirty-second atraet and along therljar front. There had been an exploalon in the "ftmoonln the cigar box factory of the William wlcke company on the northeast corner of Thirty-first street and First ay enae. It waa followed by a serlooa panic and the fujary of a large number of the employeee. The fire, however, waa auppoaed to hare Wen thoroughly extinguiehed, when ahortly after 7 o'clock laat night it buret forth from the rain with such fury that flnmea who had juat arrived were forced to abandon water tower No. 8 and Art engine No. 21 and run for their liven. The fire engine was subsequently crushed under the falling of the wall of the Thirty-second atreet side of the building and remained there a shapeless maas of wrecked machinery. Though the fire abounded in thrilling incidenta, none was more sensational than the gallant effort made by the men of engine 21 to save the splendid team of graya which had been caught under the terrific back draft of the fire before they could be detached from the engine. The effort waa only partially successful. One of the horses-had to be ahot, and Chief Croker aaid ~the other would probably have to ahare the same fate. Housekeepers, proprietors oH | tela and boarding houses will *•11 VD buy for future use at thi prices. SPECTACLE WAS MAGNIFICENT ONE According to the statement of Hackett, one of the gang, which has since been largely corroborated by investigation, the gang were in Adams, Mass., on t;he night of the Fosburg murder. They went there to strip the brass from an engine and pump in a factory in that town. On the following day they left the vicinity. 04 Inch Cream Damask, BOo qoa^|? 70 inch Cream Damaak, 60c quality foe j TO Inoh C ream Dazs&xk. f*c (jnalitv for . SdH 60 inoh Damuk Led F.order.

I'm treating you juat as I would treat one of my own. boys if I found him with something that would do him harm. But, boys, you must not stay in this business any longer. I give fair warning to you. Just you close up and get out of this business. You are harming yourselves and othe* boys, and I won't let you do that. If you don't get out of this, boys, I'll be around in a few days and just break up your wicked little shops for you." The conference report was kept before the senate coflsUntly, even the shipping aubeidy bill giving way. Opposition to the bill continued to bo vigorously expressed. Mr. Teller making an extended speech in criticism of the war department and of the measure in general. An opposition developed on the Reuublican side to the raport, based on the alleged freedom which the conferees had taken in introducing new provisions. On the finnl vote several Republican senatora voted with the Democrats against the report. After the arrest of all of the gang except Qulnn in November, Robert L. Fosburg, the father of the murdered young woifan, was Sent for to see the prisoners. For some reason, however, the son, Rob-' ert S. Fosburg, went instead to Taunton and saw the gang in the jail.

Previous to this time Patterson hod admitted that he was in the vitality of Pittsfield at the time of the mu4|ler and said, "Yon may fix up this wire matter, but you can't fix up the Pittsfield affair." Although Quinn is'at large, the local police believe they can locate him. They state that the hat found at the Fosburg house is exactly like the one worn by for some time previous to the date of the murder. After the army bill was disposed of the aenate, on motion of Mr. Frye, resumed consideration of the shipping bill and voting was begun on amendments. The amendment insertiug 15 years for 20 years as ihe utmost limit that compensation shall be paid pursuant to the act was agreed to. Another amendment agreed to changes the period within which new vessels must be completed.

U South M»tn street, Fittstaa. •tarts la Bastaaee a gala in Qood Cincinnati, Feb. 1.—Among the visitors at Ruhlin's training quarters at the Country club, last evening was a constable from the adjoining suburb of Carthage. This gave rise to the report that "Denver" Ed Martin, who is sparring with Ruhlin, bad been arrested on the same chargc as Jeffries and Ruhlin last Monday night. Although the rumor proved to be false, it caused quite a stir in this city among the promoters of tlie fight. Martin is to fight Frank Child* ten rounds as the preliminary to the Jeffries-Iiuhlin contest. Childs is in hard and close training on the Kentucky side of the river, where he ia safe, and ft la not likely that Martin will be arrested unless Childs can also be reached. The sale of tickets yesterday aggregated $4,- 700, making a total of |45,000 to date. Ruhlin remains at his country quarters, hard at work and does not come into the city.

The house passed the fortifloations bill and made fair progress with the postoffice appropriation bill. In the general debate on the former bill Mr. Lanham of Texas spoke on the future of the Democratic party, making a strong plea for a united Democracy. He counseled the burial of the hatchet and the welcoming back of those who in the last two presidential campaigns had declined to support the nominees of the party. The talk of shelving Bryan was premature. Mr. Lanham said. He had fallen with his back to the field and his feet to the foe. He was a splendid American citizen and a Democrat. It was improbable that he ever again would aapire to the nomination, but it was too early to discuss thp candidates of the future. Mr. Lanham said that if Mr. Cleveland and other Democrats, whose grest abilities no one could deny, really a defeat of their party was necessary to bring back to its old moorings those who had stood fast by the party s candidates and platforms might show charity. Those of the Democrats who had left the party In 1806, but had returned In 1900 had been welcomed with open arms. He had welcomed the return of Hill, Olney, Cockran and the others who had rallied to the rescue of the republic in the late campaign. Divided the Democrats could not succeed. The party had split on the silver question. Mr. Lanham pointed out that no matter how firm the Silver Democrats stood to their faith in the present conditions the hope of bimetallism would be long If the silver question should not be s disturbing question in the next convention, what obstacle was there to complete reunion? . m'L+A JM &« laat of Um honeoholdera emerged 'torn tin door Um piper* preoedlng the ooffln ut Dp • wall of piercing dlamela, nuking the Terr air qnl»er with the polgn enoy of their grief.

The stock market agnin showed evidences of unrest, and all business interests are affected by the report that Major Ladd will be relieved as treasurer and all the other departments will be turned over to the Cubans. Cuban, Spanish and American business men are uneasy, and cable dispatches have been sent to Washington asking that Major Ladd be detained. Among the Cubans generally no great interest is manifested, though the opinion is widely prevalent that independence is near. The opinion is general that the announcement of definite action in turning the iriand over will be followed by a great business I panic.

Y., Fob. 1.—When Brie flier No. 5 from New York dashed into the Union station in this .city at 11:15 o'clock last night, passengers who crowded the platform were horrified to see the mangled, bleeding bodifcs of two men impaled upon the engine pilot. A patrolman hurried to the engine cab to notify the engineer, but he was on the opposite side oiling the locomotive and did not learn of the double tragedy until he came around in front of the pilot to oil the other side. It is thought that the men were struck at a grade crossing three miles below the city. The ghastly figures were quickly covered with blankets, and a patrol wagon hurried them to the morgue. Many women at the station fainted at the sight. This morning vissitors at the morgue identified the men an James Kelly, a saloon keeper, and L. D. Simons, a laborer, both Elmirans.
