The republican members of the Senate com- mittee on finance resumed consideration of the tariff bill at 10 o'clock this morning and re- mained steadily at work until 1:45,when ash ort recess was take@ for lunch. They refused to see any one during the session except democratic members of the committee, who dropped in one at a time, but remained only a little while. There was no one about the Capitol who desired to be heard and the committee was enabled to make considerable —— with the bill. At the recess hour schedules A and B, covering chemicals, earths, earthenware, potters’ and glass ware had been disposed of and several pages of schedule C—metals and manufactures of iron and steel. The changes that were made from the text of the House bill are said to have been comparatively slightand unim- portant.

The articles are to be based en the sugges- tions given below. Each article may contain one or more of the suggestions, as the contest- ant may elect, provided all the points are com- prehended in the six articles comprising the series, No reflections are te be made on any of our cotemporaries beyond that implied in the fact of their enjoying only a fraction of Tux Stan's circulation. The contestants must reside in Washington or in one of the suburbs of Washington. No articles will be received later then June 20, 1890. Contestants will inclose with their essays an envelope containing name and address. The contestants, however, will be known to the judges by number only.

TODAY'S VARIED HAPPENINGS ABROAD HARRISON IN PITTSBURG, The President’s Party Received by the Mayor and Military. Prrrssvrs, Pa., May 31.—Prosident Harri- son and party arrived in this city at 7 o'clock this morning. They were received by the mayor, 4 brass band and « military company and were driven to their hotel. President Harrison held a reception at Me chanical Hall, Exposition Building, at 9 o'clock, Three thousand people shook hands with him. He was the guest of the Scotch-Irish After the reception the meeting was addressed by Gov. Campbell of Ohio. The reception at the hall lasted half an hour and at its concla- sion three cheers were given and the presi- dential party returned to Union station. A large crowd gathered tosee him lea’ He held an informal reception among the railroad men, superintendent Pitcairn acting as master of ceremonies. Upon his arrival at his car he was much surprised to find a beautiful floral tribute. It was a large set piece of pansies, immortelles, roses and smilax, The base waa about 6 feet long by 30 inches wide, It was 5 feet high, It was a representation of the seal of Pitte- burg supporting the shield of the United States. On the base was inscribed: “To Pres- ident Harrison and Secretaries Windom, Wana- maker and Rusk, with the compliments of the Scotch-Irish congress.” The President and his cabinet officers were much pleased and thanked, Mr. Hamilton, a member of the reception com- mittee, very impressively. To repeated calle for a speech the President responded by ap- pearing on the car platform aud bowing. Xe 10 o'clock the train pulled out and the Pres- dent's second visit to Pittsburg was over. o——— THE FORT WORTH DISASTER, The Spring Palace Afire and a Panic En< sues— Several Kilied. Fort Worrs, Texas, May 31.—The Grand Spring Palace caught fire at 10 o'clock inst night. The decorations were of a highly in- flammable character—cotton, live oak moss, grasses, &c.—and by 11:30 o'clock the build- ing was entirely consumed. The fire occurred while dancing was in progress and a panic en- sued. The stairway was instantly blo~ked by a surging mass of men and women. Women were running to and fro shrieking fo their husbands and children, and from the windows of the building men and women dropped to the ground, twenty feet below. The casualties, so far as learned, are as follows: A. L. Haines, chief hydrauiie engineer of the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, so badly burned that he died; a little girl, six years old, thrown from a window in the second story and killed; W. RK. Cruce and C. W. Evarts, New Orleans, were fatally injured; Mrs. Hecker, Eigin, TiL, badly hurt; J. 8. Davis, Fort Worth badly burned; Judge Cooper, Fort Worth, both legs broken above the knee; Mrs. Valeny Halle, Marshall, right leg broken above the knee; George Settler of the Fort Worth and Denver road, badiy burned; Mrs, W. A. Wiams, spine injured; Mrs. Kate Spencer, left arm broken and badly burned; Miss Leah Couts, Weather- ford, right arm broken in two places; Miss Liz~ zie Grant, Weatherford, injured internal Bissell Wilson, St. Louis, a railroad band, leg broken and injured internally; Mrs. W. R. Ken= nedy, New Orleans, badly hurt; E. H. Fadge, Chicago, jumped from third story, breaking one arm and both legs and is injured inter- nally. Within fifteen minutes of the breaking out of the fire 20,000 people were in the grounds and the scene was agonizing. Men and women rushed frantically from crowd to crowd look: for loved ones, in many cases shrieking ant crying. Many ladies tainted. The loss reach $250,000. The insurance is nominal. Among those present was Russell Harrison and his partner, Mr. Sleicher of Frank Leslie's. Just as they were talking of the inflammable mature of the decorations the cry of fire sounded. Mr. Sleicher turned to Mr. Harrison with a blanched face and said: “It's « fire; save shouted Harrison. “ where you are and pass out orderly.” The stairway upon which he stood was instantly blocked by @ surging mass of men and fainting women, through which Harrison tried to make his way to save a little child, which he and others had noticed lying asleep behind the exhibit railing in an obscure corner of the building. Mr. Har- rison stood his ground, begging the terrified women not to give way and helping to extricate $$ ——___ Treasury Department Changes.

When Benjamin Hawkins was hung Thursday at the District jail it was Warden Crocker's in- tention to have the remains interred in Grace- land Cemetery soon after the execution, and he gave orders to that effect, but the dead man’s friends were anxious to get the body and requested that it be turned over to Mrs. Brown, cousin of the deceased. Gen. Crocker only consented to do so with the understand- ing that the funeral would take ‘ yesterday and would not deferred until Sunday to make a show and attract an idle crowd. Instead of having the funeral yesterday, however, it was decided to hold the services On Sunday. Hawkins was a member of the Drivers’ Relief Association and the members of that association are going to arrange the funeral. ‘THE CHURCH OBJECTED. It was the intention of Hawkins’ friends to have the funeral from Mount Zion Church, but the members of the church objected and ar- rangemente were then made to have the body placed on exhibition at Galilean Fisher- man’s Hall tomorrow. Subsequently it was determined to have the funeral take p! from Say Francisco, Cat., May 31.—All the bodies recovered from the Oakland disaster were iden= tified at midnight. It is believed that no more lives were lost, but parties are still at the wreck searching the bed of the creek. There were thirteen drowned. Among the saved from the first car were Capt. M. P. Roberts, his neice, Mra, 8. H. “nol and her two daughters. The captain and his relatives occupied seats in the forward car, and when the accident occurred were the first to be submerged. The first thing the captain realized was that he was onder the car ventilators with one of the children— Effie—clinging to his neck and Mrs. Roberts and her elder daughter struggling im the water, Realizing his danger he calied upon them to follow and plunged through the car door, which was submerged. On coming to the sur= face he found a boat, to which be and the others clung to until they were taken ashore, Mise May Austin, daughter of Henry 8.
