A Suour Fine at THe Starz, War AnD Navy Department Burip1xe.—A fire occurred shortly after 1 o’clock this morning in the waste-paper room of the State, War and_ Nav; building, in the center-wing sub-basement. It was soon discovered by a watchman, who, with the aid of others of the force, got the fire- service in working order and soon extin- eee the flames. But little damage was lone beyond the burning of a bulk-head parti- tion at the end of a room. The damage will a exceed $25. The origin of the fire is un- nown.

A message from the President, returning without his approval a pension bill for Edwin L, Warner, was presented, read, and referred to the committee on pensions, The ground of pees eer is the fact that the beneficiary is already entitled to pension and arrears under ‘ decision of the pension office. CONFERENCE REPORTS AGREED TO. The conference reports on the bills granting right of way through the Indian territory to the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad com- pany and to the Leavenworth and Rio Grande a company were presented and agreed MES, SHERIDAN’S PENSION. The request for a conference on House amendments to the Senate bill granting a pen- sion to Mrs. Gen.

Mr. Farwell offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Interior for information touching THE BRIBERY OF THE CHEROKEE COUNCIL “by the use of whisky and money” by cattle- men and for a copy of the report of Special Agent Owens on that subject. Mr. Hoar suggested the omission of the words “by the use of whisky and money.” The resolution was moditied accordingly and was agreed to. Mr. Sabin offered a resolution (which went over till to-morrow) calling on the Becretary of the Interior for information as to the discon- tinuance of certain land offices.

Berry, of North Carolina, to be an assistant surgeon in the marine hospital service of the United States. TO DIVIDE THE SIOUX RESERVATION. Ox motion of Mr. Dawes the House bill to divide a portion of the Sioux reservation in Dakota was taken up, read, amended and passed. [The reading occupied the best part of an hour.] THE AGREEEMENT WITH THE SOUTHERN UTES. On motion of Mr. Bowen the Senate bill to ratify and confirm an agreement with the southern Ute Indians in reece and to — the necessary appropriations for carrying i into effect, was taken up and read, : Mr. Plumb moved to insert an additional sec- tion to construe the agreement as validating claims on lands that have been entered. Mr. Dawes opposed the amendment as possi- bly putting a construction on the agreements whish the Indians might not have contem- plated when they made the contract. If the agreement were to be confirmed at all it should be confirmed just as it was, Mr. Plumb explained and advocated his amendment. He modified it, however (so as to meet Mr. Dawes’ views), by making it a to entries under the mining laws, Py THE BILL PASSED. As so modified the amendment was agreed to and the bill passed. Mr, Allison then moved to proceed to the consideration of TRE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Cullom asked Mr. Allison to yield for the Oklahoma bill, but, as Mr. Allison declined to do so (on the ground that the Oklahoma bill would give rise to debate), Mr. Cullom gave notice that, as soon as the army appropriation bill was out of the way he would move to take se Se Oklahoma bill and would press it toa vote. House of Representatives. ‘THE FILIBUSTERS GET IN THEIR WORK. The last week of the Fiftieth Congress was ushered in by filibustering, set in motion by Mr. Bland, of Missouri, who raised the point of ‘THE CALIFORNIA CONTEST. ming Star. TWO CENTS.

AND THEY DIDN'T VOTE. ‘The 251 members who responded to their names faded away when the vote recurred on the motion to table the motion to reconsider, and only 12 were found recorded in the affirm- ative, while a cypher represented the negative vote. Againacallof the House was ordered. THE WHEELS EFFECTUALLY BLOCKED. There is little prospect that the House will transact any business this afternoon. The spirit of filllbustering is rampant on both sides oi the chamber, the Republicans being deter- mined upon preventing the consideration of the contested election, and a majority of the democrate secretly countenancing any methods which may result in delaying the consideration of the Cowles’ bill. Some anxiety is felt as to the appropriation bills, and hostilities may be so far suspended as to permit of the disposi- tion of the deficiency bill. CAPITOL - TOPICS. FLOWERS FOR SENATOR BLAIR FROM THE W. C. T. U. The Women’s Christian Temperance Union of the District, on behalf of the National W. C. T. U., remembered Senator Blair to-day. On the Senator's desk wasa beautiful bouquet of La France roses, and accompanying it was a note stating that the floral token was “‘in grateful ackno} tof his brave champ plonahip of Senate bi favoring prohibition, na, woman's ballot,and the resolution ing against sectarian interference with the public schools of the nation, The note was signed by Mrs, La Fetra, president of the local organiza- SENATOR HOAR’S REPLY TO SENATOR DANIELS. In the Senate Saturday after Taz Stan's re- port closed, Mr. Daniels continued his speech against the resolution to investigate alleged election outrages. He had said that a majority of the popular vote at the last election was for Cleveland. Mr. Hoar replied that whether more people in the United States were in favor of Grover Cleveland for President than for Benjamin Harrison was a question the com- mittee wanted to investigate. He also quoted from Senator Morgan’s article in the Forum to show that the latter was opposed to rule by the majority provided that majority was composed of negroes, In view of the constitutional right to vote he declared there was no such person aga negro. He complimented their bravery, intelligence. and constancy, but reminded them that if they failed to treat the negro properly there would come a time in the south when there would be enacted a scene of blood- shed and atrocities unequalled by the French revolution. THE BLACKBURN-CHANDLER ALTERCATION. It was reported at the capitol to-day that the Senate will be called upon to take ofticial action with regard to the Blackburn-Chandler en- counter. It was said in the Senate to-day that Senator Blair, Mr. Chandler's colleague, pro- poses to introduce a resolution of censure upon the Senator from Kentucky. NOTES. On motion of Mr. Cummings, of New York, an amendmont was adopted to the deficiency billin the House Saturday afternoon for the payment of an extra month’s salary to Senate and House employes. Senator Vance was in his seat Saturday for the first time since the operation was performed which removed his diseased left eye. “DISTRICT DAY” WASTED. Mr. Hemphill’s Ineffectual Effort to Get up District Business in the House. To-day was supposed to be District day in the House, but a small minority was not in- clined to proceed with local legislation, and a filibustering movement led by Mr. Bland, of Missouri, and Mr. O'Neill, of Indiana, was put inoperation. The extra hour, from 10 to 11 o'clock, set apart for the consideration of measures called up by members in alphabetical order, was wasted by the filibusterers. During the temporary lull in the proceedings, Mr. | Hemphill, chairman of the District committee, asked unanimous consent to proceed to the consideration of District business. It was his intention to call up the bill providing for the temporary erection of overhead wires alon; Pennsylvania avenue between the capitol an the White House, and also to the pension build- ing, to facilitate the transmission of telegraphic dispatches in connection with the — ceremonies, It was also his desire to call up the Rock Creek park bill, the District trust bills and several other local measures. Mr. O'Neill, of Indiana, objected and dilatory tac- tics were resumed. The House District committee will hold a nee er morning to consider such bills as have passed the Senate, with a view to = i — = the — — and, if possible, em through under a suspen- Hon of the rules. THE DILATORY TACTICS started by Mr. Bland in the House last Satur- day and resumed to-day are directed against the Randall internal-revenue bill. The defi- ciency appropriation bill is still pending, and so long as that bill continues before the House the Randall bill may be kept down. Mr. Crisp also wants to get his California contested-elec- tion case out of the way, and there was a con- test fot the right of way between the appropri- tions and elections committees, THE REPUBLICANS SEEM DETERMINED to keep Mr. Fulton in his seat, even if the re- mainder of the session has to be consumed in roll calls, Mr. ) after a le, secured enough votes to up the contested-election case. The republicans eng Cleese Messrs.

Loxpox Feb. 25.—The future course of the Parnell commison entirely depends on Judge Hannan’s view of the legal,issues about which the court has given no indication yet. If he thinks the letters are the principal issue, speedy termination is probable. If he con- siders them only incidental there may be an indefinite prolongation. The Times is still selling the reprint of “ Parnellism and Crime,” 8 fac simile of the letters, thus showing it has not abandoned its belief in their geuuineness. Attorney-General Webster, the Zimes counsel, telis his private friends to suspend judgement, saying he HAS 4 TRUMP CARD LEFT. The Unionist members keep up their spirits, thinking Piggott was bribed by the Parneilites, and that his hesitancy business was a put up job. | Webster is expected to treat Piggott as a ostile wituess on his re-examination, The hext witness is expected to be an American, who says he saw in Sheridan’s hands a letter identical with that printed in the Times, An- other well-known American on the Times staff testifies to having seen a similar letter shown about in America. The other side will say that the demand created the supply in the Ameri- can market for forged letters, : > WILL LIGHT ALL THE GAS WELLS. Preparing a Fine Spectacle for the President-elect near Pittsburg. Prrrssure, Feb. 25.—A spectacle peculiar to western Pennsylvania and similar to one got- ten up for Mrs. Cleveland when she and the President passed through this city some two years ago, is being prepared for President-elect Harrison and his party to-morrow morning. It has been arranged to have the train halted for a few minutes at Jeanette and have all the wells lighted in the entire neighborhood. the glass manufacturers of that city have arranged for the exhibition and have received assurance that the party will stop there to-morrow morn- ing. ee Oe A Large Flouring Mill Burned. Leavenwortu, Kax., Feb. 25.—Keliy & Lysle’s flouring mill was completely destroyed by fire, together with a stock of 2,000 bar flour, atan early hour this morning.

Humes, who has been partially insane for over a year jt and has been under the surveillance of his ‘iends, committed suicide last night. His term of office would have expired in a few weeks. For some time the mayor has acted queerly, but only his intimate friends knew that his mind was seriously affected. He had for years been a as a citizen, several times having n elected mayor. joe No New Trial for “Red Nosed Mike.” Wiixesnarere, Pa., Feb. 25.—The motion for a new trial in the case of Red Nosed Mike, con- victed of the murder of Paymaster J.

Herena, Mont., Feb. 25.—Two children named Calahan, at Belmont, were burned to death yesterday and a third will probably not survive.
