THE FIGHT AGAINST SINGLE Hearing the the Hyattsville Commissioners. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Mantzono’, Mv., July 26.—The Hyattsville single tax fight was transferred from Hyatte- ville to Marlboro’ this morning, when the ma- jority of the town commissioners appeared be- fore Judge J. B. Brooke in the circuit court of Prince George’s county and file their answer to the rule issued against them upon the petition of Charles A. Wells, Louis D. Wine and others of Hyattsville, who prayed that a writ sioners compelling them to correct their assees- | ment by rest the assessment on improve- ments on the lands in said town, and to com- plete said assessment by an assessment of tho personal property in id town. The relators ‘were represented by L. W. Habercom, R. Ford Combe and Marion Duckett, and the respond- ents by Charles H. Stanley and M. H. Lever- son. THE COMMISSIONERS’ iSWER. The answer of the commissioners states that: 1. It is trae that, as in said petition, that by an act of the legislattre of Maryland | the village of Hyattsville became incorporated, asin the sald petition is mentioned, and the said corporacion was invested with certsin cor porate, legislative, judicial and executive powers, which said legislative powers were vested in five commissioners, clestes by the Iswfal voters of said town, in manner aforesaid as by law pro- vided. It is also true that said act was amended by act of assembly 1890, chapter 355, as int the said petition is alleged, and the respondents al- lege that J. H. Ralston, prosident of the said - fact doard of © , Was a member of the board of commissioners which was elected in May, 1890, and Henry A. Drury, one of the relators herein, was also at the same time elected a member of such board. The above mentioned sots were further amended by the act of assem- bly 1892, but the purport and effect of the said last mentioned act isnot truly set forth by the relators in their said petition as in reference to the sad acts. By this act it will fully appear in reference thereto that no power is given to the aasessors to assess personal ty. 2. That commissioners elected at divers times by the lawful voters of the town of Hyattsville, before the respondents entered upon their Present term of such office, under and by virtue of the legislative powers vested in them and for the purpose of promoting industry and thrift Hyattaville will suffer any injury by reason of lection of taxes under the ordinance, but aver that the act complained of lessens the burden of taxation on every one who owns im- roved real estate or who has increased by in- Rustry and thrift. the wealth of said town, and that the petitioners are seeking to compel the respondents to burden ed owners with mnnecessary taxation and ask to have petition dismissed with costs. After the answer had been read Mr. Duckett, for the petitioners, entered a general demurrer, and the matter in dispute ag thereby been brought squarely before the court .the court sf that he would allow an hour and one- half on each side for arguments, petitioners to open and close. ‘Mr. Habercom thereupou opened for the | petitioners, stating that the question befare the | court was remarkable in two respects in this that the petitioners occupied the position of asking that their taxes be increased and in the fact that the commissioners were endeavoring to break down and override long-establi rules of taxation against the laws of the state George. read at length.

Acros of slubs aro burning brightly and illuminate the scene, In the pub- lic park are 600 men, women and children, who have been deprived of their homes by the de- ‘youring element.” Detroit, Micu., July 26.—A special from Bay City to the Journal says: The terrible tire which started yesterday afternoon continued to rage all night, and the sun arose this morning on afield of ashes extending over forty blocks. It was imponsible to check the flames, carried before gale, until everything in the track had been consumed, and today it is estimated that at least 500 buildings are in ruins, represent- ing a loss of probably $1,500,000. Soon after the flames started in Miller & Turner's sawmill it was scen that ‘this end of the city was doomed. There was a terrific wind biowing from the southwest, and great bunches of burn- ing boards were lifted and scattered nbout the lumber yard. ‘The first alarm was quickly fol- lowed by a general one, cailing out every par- ticle of apparatus in the city. Almost before the firemen knew it a cloud of flame and embers had swept across Harrison street, and in fifteen minutes the eastern row of frame buildings from 33d to 30th street, four blocks, was ablaze, The firemen would no sooner lay their lines of hose than the fire would be upon them and they would be com- pelled to flee for their lives. Burning boards were carried 200 feet in the air and wherever they dropped some house or re would at onceadd its fuel to the confla- gration. ‘The progress of the fire was from Harrison street to Polk, then to Taylor, then to Web- ster, then to McCormick and Marsac, and there is not a building left standing in ‘this entire area. This section was largely occupied by the homes of Inboring men. The latter were com- pelled to abandon eversthing. and today they huddled into temporary quarters, without & possession in the world and nothing to eat. Drays, vans and carts of every character were rushed to the doomed section and in. them were hurriedly piled household goods. The pr of the fire was so swift that even some Er hase wagona were ovecteken and Uarucg a the streets. ‘The firemen finally drew back from the fire and tried to make a stand several blocks away. Butewith a roar the cyclone of heat and fire swopt down on them, and at 5:30 the Michigan box factory, thirteen blocks from where the blaze first started, began to burn. The employes, however, were on guard and managed to save the main building. This was the beginning of the end, as the hoped-tor cessation of” the second began. ‘The firemen took new heart. They made another stand two blocks further up Broadway and were victorious in checking the spread of the flames. alee a IN WALL STREET TODAY. Some Animation the Market, but ‘Changes Only Fractional.

There were about forty Senators present, but the. galleries were almost deserted on account of the intense heat of the weather. SENATOR ALLISON'S SPEECH. He opened his speech by saying that the tariff question was to become, by common con- sent, the leading issue in the approaching pres- idential campaign. At no time in the history of the country had the lines between tho two great parties upon this question been #0 clearly defined. The republitans en- tered the campaign distinctly favoring the con- tinuance of the protective policy, whilo the democrats denounced protection as a fraud, de- clared the unconstitutionality of protective tariff duties and made a special and vicious attack jupon the tariff act of 1890 as the culminating atrocity of tariff legislation. ‘This clear alignment of parties greatly simpli- fied the discussion of the question. It removed all opportunity for possible differences of opinion in —rega: to the — republi- can plan of campnign. ‘The _ friends of protection would wage aggressive warfare upon the revolutionary doctrines which, | although lofig secretly cherished by democratic | leaders, were now for the first time openly avowed. The attack upon the indefensible democratic position must be _ vigorous and persistent, The principal _ objec- tion made by the Senator from Missouri Gir. Vest) to ‘the tariff act of 1890 was that | Er which was urged with great force and effect in | ti the political campaign which immediately followed its enactment, namely, that through a large advance in rates it had effected a considerable increase in the pricgs of the necessaries of life and greatly aug- mente® the cost of living of all classes of peo- ple, especially of the poor. A DECLINE IN PRICES ESTABLISHED. One of the principal purposes of the tariff in- quiry ordered by the Senateresolutiog of March | 8, 1891, was to ascertain with accuracy whether this claim of the opponents of protection was justified by the actual —re- sults, An investigation into the cause of prices and cost of fiving, much more expen- sive and thorough than was ever before at- tempted, was instituted. The inquiry was thoroughly non-partisan, and every possible care waa taken to give to it a character which would entitle the remlts secured to the highest weight of authority. This investigation clearly ostablished the fact that a decline instead of an advance had taken place in the prices of the necessaries of life and the. resulting cost of living since the adoption of the act of 1890. It was shown as a net result of the investigation that prices and the cost of living, based on the expenditures of a family in ordinary circumstances, had declined 3.4 per cent in May, 1892, as compared with the orlod prior to the adoption of the tariff wet of 890. THE RESULT NOT A SURPRISE. It was difficult to see how the results of this thoroughly exhaustive inquiry could be a sur- prise to any ofte unless he should be a pro- fessional tariff reformer. It had, he be- Meved, been for many months apparent to the great masa of the people of the United States that none of the predictions in regard to | higher prices und ter cost of living as the result of the tariff legislation of 1890 had been fulfilled, THE M'KINLEY ACT THE CAUSE. ‘Thore could be no longer any question as to the course of prices for the period covered by the committee's investigation. Even the demo- cratic platform, which undertook to enumerate the evil effects of the act of 1890, abandoned the claim that its adoption resulted in increased prices and he was greatly surprised | #ked. cry was now being revived for of 1892.
