Rocuxstee, N. ¥., Jan. 12—A fierce fire is | aging here at this moment (noon). The Hiram Sibley seed house, a ten or eleven-story building, covering nearly a whole square, bounded by East Main, Stillson and North avenue, is a huge mass of flames. Nothing but the walis can be seen, while the flags tower up far above any biock in the city. ‘The heat from tho fire makes it almost impossible for firemen to be of much use in saving adjoining build- ings, and it is feared other fires will follow. ‘There is no report as yet of any lives being lost.

Sr ABBETT’S MESSAGE. Gov. | Matters Called to the Attention of the New Jersey Legislature. Tazstos, N. J., Jan. 12.—In his message to the legislature Gov. Abbett says: ‘The financial condition of the state was never better. For the first time since 1885 the fikeal year has closed without any floating debt. Under the liberal laws of the state many new corporations have been created, largely increasing the re- ceipts from fees for filing certificates and the amount of tax payable by miscellaneous corpo- ns. ‘o new tax has been levied upon any cor- poration and the people still continue free from the imposition of any direct state tax for governmental purposes. If the future needs of the state require fur- ther revenue, the taxes upon corpora- tions can fairly be increased until they pay equally with individuals. In view of the ex- cellent condition of state affairs I do not feel called upon to ask the legislature for any ad- ditional tax either corporate or individual for the ordinary expenses of the state government. “The commissioners appointed to repre- sent the state at the world’s fair report that in order to make a creditable display they must have a further apptopriation | in addition to the £20,000 heretofore given them by the legislature. In this connection I call attention to the fact that the net amount of money spent by the state in the exposition at Philadelphia was over £74,000, and in view of the greater distance of Chicago from this state the expense will naturally be greater. I am satistied that the exposition will be a suc cess. I feel that if New Jersey is to be repre- sented at all at Chicago every reasonable step should be taken to make its exhibit and that of its citizens creditable to our state. I therefore — recom- mnd that the legislatur> carefully consider the report of the commission and make such further appropriation as they may deem proper.” Se HARD WORK FOR SCOUTS. Troops on the Kio Grande Experience Un- pleasant Weather. Sax Astosro, Jan. 12.—The scouting opera- tions of the United States troops on the Rio Grande frontier have been attended during the past two days with great hardships owing to the severe norther, accompanied by rain, that has been blowing.

No news of any kind has been received from him ut the military department headquarters here for the past forty-eight hours. He is sup- plied with twenty days’ rations and an experi- enced scout. Porfiro P. Garcia, general manager of the affairs of ex-Gov. Gonzales of Chihuahua, Mexico, arrived here last evening. He states that there was no sign of a revolutionary up- ising in that state when he left there and that the Garza movement is looked upon as | msigniticant. ‘The people there, he states, are well sutistied with the administration of Lauro Carrilla, the present governor. poo, ena STOLE AN EXPRESS WAGON.

Curcaco, Jan. 12.—An express wagon belong- ing to the United States Express Company was qyictly and very coolly taken possession of and driven off by a slightly built young man, wea ing a gray overcoat aud a derby hat, about 6 o'clock last night.

Tackrell, from Newport News, December 27, for Liverpool, was coming up ‘the Mersey her steering gear failed and the vessel became unmanageable. The Bulgaria rapidly drifted rt toward the Huskisson pier head, agai which she collided with such force that her bows were stove in. The forward compartments immediately filled with water.

The third en- ginecr, Robert Richardson, A SHORT SESSION Neither Branch of Congress Oocupies a Great Deal of Time. THE HOUSE IS VERY BRIEF. Several Bills Were Passed by the Senate. FORTIFICATIONS AND DEFNSES ‘Mr. Dolph’s Bill and the Dissent of Senator Berry, a Member of the Committes. SENATE, Among the departmental and other com- munications laid before the Senate by the Vice President were three agreements for the cession of their lands made with the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians of the Wind River reserva- tion, in Wyoming, the Indians of the Pyramid Lake reservation and the Kickapoo Indians of Oklahoma. ‘They were all reforred to the com- mittee on Indian affairs. Many petitions in favor of the loan of $5,000,- 000 to the world’s fair on condition of its being kept closed on Sunday were presented und re- ferred. Mr. Manderson, from the committee on ublic printing and on behalf of the 5 joint committee of both houses, reported a bill for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents; and said that it was the result of a great deal of investiga- tion and labor on the part of the special joint comuittes, “ite would ask the Scnnto to take it up for action at a very early day. TO BUY FORTIFICATION SITES. Mr. Dolph, from the committee on coast de- fenses, reported a bili for the purchuse of sites tions; also a bill to provide for for- tifications and other seacoast defonses, and they were pluted on the eniendar. Air. Berry, a member of the committee on efenises, said that ho dissented from tho report of tue latter bill, which carried with it p tion of 123,000,000 extending over & period of eleven years. 4{u view of the fact that the revenues of the government were hardly sufficient to meet the ordinary expenditures, and in view of the fur- ther fact that there was an almost universal demand for relief from excessive taxation, ke had not been willing to report in favor of a bill carrying such a very large appropriation. Dolph said that the Lill bad been amended in committee and that, as reported, it only carried an appropriation of $100,000.00, $10,000,000 to be avuilable the first year and ¥9,000,000 a year for ten years. It adopted the plan which had been found so effective in respect to some of the river and harbor improvements, making a lump appro- priation. it bad recer {dhe approval of two successive Secretaries of War, of the chief of ordnance under two administrations and of the Doard of engineers of the city of New York. It was the most economical proposition in regard to coast defenses that had ever come beiore Congress. _ He undertook to say that the hundred mi lions provided in the bill would go as far asa hundred and fitty millions appropriated in the ordinary manner. Mr. Chiltou, another member of the com- mittes on coast defenses, said that he con- curred with Mr. Berry in hie opposition to the report. A large number of bills providing for public buildings were reported and placed on the calendar. CLAIMS UNDER THE EIGHT-HOUR Law. Mr. Perkins introduced a bill to remove the statute of limitation in respect to claims under the eight-hour law. Referred. Mr. Hale offered an order directing the archi- tect of the Capitol to report forthwith the con- dition of the Senate end of the Capitol in re- gard to its ventilation, drainage and plumbing and to state fully whether any defects exist which affect unfavorably the sanitary condi- tion of the building. He waid that he did not offer the order with a view to casting any cen- sure ou the architect of the Capitol, o faithful and competent officer; but he had been informed that there was a condition of affairs in the basement or sub-basement of the Capitol, that was dangerous to Senators and employes. He had also been informed that the city board of health had been invoked and had made an inspection, and found a conditjon of things’ that might well re regarded as alarming. If that were the case and if extensive changes were needed—new plumbing and new grading—the hands of the supervising ar- chitect ought to bo upheld and etrength- ened and larger appropriations ought tobe made. The order was agreed to. BILLS PASSED. The Senate then took up the calendar passed the following bills upon it: For the relief of the heir and legal represent- atives of James C. Booth, formerly shelter and refiner of the Philadelphia mint (refunding the a paid by him for two silver bars lost or stolen.) For ‘the relief of Betts. Nichols & Co. of Philadelphia (to pay a draft on the treasury as- signed in 1861). Appropriating $60,000 for a public building at Bradtord, Pa.

Mr. Morgan offered @ resolution calling on the State Departmont for information as to the distribution and presont condition of the fund paid in under tho convention with Mexico, having reference particularly to the Weil and La Albra claims. to.

At the Capitol the Chilean situation is looked Upon as grave. The reports of the testimony taken at San Francisco have been read with greet Ynterest by Senators and Repro- sentatives, and some of those who have heretofore been extremely skeptical have suddenly come to the realization of the fact that war with Chilo is a probability. They have not been able to get full information on the subject and the reports that have been circu- lated recently that Chile was on the point of making an apology have led them to believe that the matter would bo settled. Tho testimony taken by Judge Advocate Goneral Remey bas proven startling to them and the Chilean situation has been the subject of very serious discussion at the Capitol today. Besides the testimony published showing the’ extent of the outrage information has been received in an under- grourid way that there is no foundation for the reports that Chile has assumed a more friendly tone and that prospects of a speedy settlement are being held out. It is known! positively from the beat possible authority that | this government as received no intimation of | Peaceful overtures from Chile, ‘THE PRESIDENT DEEPLY MOVED. President Harrison has been deeply moved by the reports from San Francisco. He expects that as soon as the investigation is concluded & brief of the testimony and report will be sent to him by wire. If the report is of the character which the testimony thus far taken indicates it will he will send it to Congress at once, together with the correspondence be- tween this country and Chite. AT THE CABINET MEETING. At the cabinet meeting today the President expressed the opinion tbat the situation was more serious than it has beon at any previous time. After looking the correspondence over very carefully he finds nothing in it that indicates the least regret on the part of Caile for the outrage. He re- gards the so-called “‘unofiicial” reports that } Chile would apologize as rumors given out for the purpose merely of allaying popular feeling. | Officially there has been no intimation of an amicable disposition on the part of | Chile. _As far as this government knows, as far | as the President himscif knows by oiticial com- | munication or by unofiicial intmmation. the Chileans are as uniriendiy,arrogant and offen sive in their attitude as they bave been at any time. The testimony taken by District Attorney Carter in San Francisco in the care of Fireman Shields of the American merchant steamer Keweenan, which is given in abstract in anotl part of Tue Stan ioday, is causing a reviv of the war feeling aguinst Chile. Some people donot accept the caso as a worthy one, most men in official life are | to accept it as indicative of | feeling prevalent in Chilo aga Americans. ‘That there is a brutal tendency whenever people of this country are. to be logally or Mlogally bandied in Chile ie very evident, they say, from the testimony of the officers und men of the Kewecnaw. SHIELDS NOT TO BE AN ISSUE. Itisnot probable that the administration will make an 1asue of the Shields case. for there isagrave doubt as to his citizenship, and some authorities are inclined to question the merit of the case. However, it is considered that there is enough in the re- port of the district attorney to form a gvod stiffener to the war policy of this government, and there can be no doubt that the details of Shields’ story wil! inflame the public to a great extent. Shields’ citizenship 18 doubted in the absence of evidence to show that his father—with whom he came to this country while a minor—was ever naturalized. Such an act on the father’s part makes a citizen of the son, as in the case of | McKenstry, the other seaman of the Keweenaw, who was arrested in Vaiparaiso. A CHILEAN’S OPINION. | A Sram reporter had an interesting conver- sation this morning with a well-known Chiican, who came to this country to be charge d'affaires of the Washington legation under the Balmaceda regime. The victory of the | insurgents occurred during his passage north, and on bis arrival here he found himself to be a diplomat out of a job. He was sitting in one of the offices of the State Department this morning when the re- porter met him. When asked his opinion in regard to the Shields case, he said, with a shrug: “Ido not place much stock ‘in that story. It is sensational. My theory is that the man was drunk and abused the police.” ‘But they were evidently brutal to him, for his comllition showed that he had been horri- bly beaten,” urged the reporter. “You cannot tell what may happen toa! drunken sailor in a foregn town,” said the Chilean, on the defensive at once. “Ihen, too, you must not be surprised at anything done by the Chilean police.” “Why?” was the natural query. THE CHILEAN POLICE FoRcE. “Because they are the poorest in the world. Tassure you the Americans have no idea of how wretched our police foree in Valparaiso is. It is composed of the worst class of men, and they are regarded with the utmost contempt by ail classes.” ® “Does that.excuse them for brutality?” was asked. ‘hat can you expect of a police force that is composed ‘of such'men? To bea policeman is the last resort fora man in Chile, It is the lowest occupation in the country. Here and elsewhere it is an honor to be a policeman; but there, bah! the pay is but $18 a month in Chilean money, or €9 in yours. The lowest peon on’ the farms cts more money, besides his food and shelt@. repeat, what can you expect of such police- men?” “Whose fault is it that there should be such a force?” asked the reporter. “Ido not attempt to say, but I insist that your people here do not realize the state of things in Chile,” replied the diplomat. “Does not the charge of brutality revert back upon tho government if it does not provide a wr police force?” “1 cannot discuss that point. I merely re- gard the Shiclds’ case as unworthy of promi- nence.
