Two Lives Probably Lost in the Flames, NEW PLOT 70 OVERTHROW HIPPOLYTE. The Ice Gorge at Cumberland Threatening. PILOT DAVIS UNDER ARREST. PROBABLY PERISHED IN THE FLAMES. Father and Son Missing After the Destruc- tion of Their Home. Haverury, Mass., Jan. 31.—The dwelling house of James Addison at West Newbury was burned early this morning. Mr. Addison, aged forty, and William, aged sixtcen, probably perished in ‘the flames. Addison's wife died two yenrs ago. Since her decease he has lived alone, his son being with him part of the time. ‘There is a possibility that the son was not at home, but the probabilities are that hewas. The house was in a sparsely settled locality with only a few neighbors near. How the fire originated no one knows, as when first seen by a neighbor the house was all in flames. FIRE AT AN INSANE ASYLUM. Cnrcaao, Jan. 31.—Fire broke out in the en- gine room of the insane asylum at Dunning, abont twelve miles from this city, at 6:30 o'clock. There are 600 insane patients in the institution. Every available man at doth the insane and the poor house near by was ordered out to help combat the flames. Fire companies were sent trom this city and neighboring suburbs, but they were unable to accomplish much, owing to the fact that there was little or no water available for fighting the fire. ‘The wind blew directly away from thg main building and saved that part of the institution from destruction, but the engine room con- taining the boilers and dynamos used for heat- ing and lighting the institution was completely destroyed. The greatest damage caused by the fire is the crippled condition in which the instifution is left. A number of small buildings clustered about the main buildings, including the amusement hall and the administration building, will be without heat for a woek at least. Light can be supplied by lamps and water can be hauled to the buildings by wagon, but there is no positive way of heating them at present. The best of order was maintained among the patients, only a few of them who were confined in the wards overlooking the engine house knowing that a fire wae in progress. PUBLISHING HOUSE DAMAGED. Crsctxxatt, Ouro, Jan, 31.—The American Book Company's plant, at Walnut and Baker streets, was damaged by fire ehortly after mid- night to the extent of $70,000. ‘The blaze wi confined to the bindery, which oecupies the up- per floors of the building, while the lower floors are filled with the finest of machinery used in the manufacture of books. ‘The fire was under control within an hour after the firemen fairly got to work. ‘The loss will be materially reduced by the excellent work of the salvage corps. The fire is supposed to have started from an explo- sion of chemicals in the bindery. Insured. Swamoxry, Pa., Jan. 31.—The summer cot- tage of Dr. K. C. MeW. Williams of Philadelphia was destroyed by fire here early this morning. Loss, $5,000; partially insured. R. G. DUN'S OFFICE IN PERIL. New Yon, Jan. 31.—At 1 o'clock this after- noon fire started in the building No. 310 Broad- way, occupied by Nucker, Unger & Co., dealers in Christmas and art novelties. The upper floors were quickly gutted and the surround- ing property is threatened with great damage. Two doors above the burning build- ing is the R.G. Dun mercantileagency. At this hour (1:30 p.m.) preparations are being made to remove the valuable contents of the agency and great excitement prevails. crea deal PILOT DAVIS ARKESTED, i The Captain of the Tug Templar Charged With Murder.

Ithas a wound on the head. Capt. Cheshire is held asa witness. The time of the inquest is undetermined. ‘The fleet to clear the Potomac will proceed and the Templar will follow. ee ANOTHER HAYTIAN REVOLT PLANNED. It fs Said That Arms for the Rebels Will Be Sent From New York. Panama via Gatvestox, Jan, 31.—It is whispered here that arms will bo shipped ona trading schooner from New Youk to aid the in- tended revolutionary movement in Hayti, and that the arms will be transferred off the Cen- tral American coast near Colon to a Haytien vessel. It is slso rumored that Monsonto, a promi- nent Haytian who served under Crespo, is going to Jamaica to negotiate sale of arms with Legitime. Monsonto is now in Panama and will sail for Janfaica on Friday. ‘The enemios of President Hippolyte claim that they are not disheartened by his recent successes, which they characterize as being only temporary, and they declare that his victory for the time being has not crushed ' their hopes of the eventual triumph of the revolutionists, if they receive timely succor from-the outside. They say that what the antagonista of Hippotyte in Hayti needs is a reliable leader, and is reported that Menigat has been invited to proceed to Hayti toorganize a revolution, Hippolyte's enemies also assert that the var- ious recent risings show that the country is ripe for revolution, and they say that mer- chante of Port au Prince are willing to furnish finances for an insurrection, provided Menigat or some other reliable-exile will assume the leadership. ‘Meantime Hippolyte continues in_power and seems to be more firmly established than ever, while bis severity in dealing with rebels has in- spired s caution on the part of those inclined to rebel. ape et THREATENING AT CUMBERLAND. Efforts to Break the Ice Pack Are Fruitless, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Cumpentayxp, Mp., Jan. 31.—The condition of the Potomac here is threatening. The ice moving slowly from the Piedmont has badly damaged one bridge on the West Virginia Cen- tral railway and may damage the others, George’s and Will's creeks have begun to break. Efforts to break the pack at the canal dam here with dynamite are fruitless. The canal officials will try again. ‘There is no immediate Ganger below here, but the weather is warming ‘and the ice is becoming very slushy. About three feet of water is running over the Cum- berland dam and is rising. — A BILL TO PUNISH ALARMISTS. Persons Circulating Unfounded Rumors Re- garding Financia! Institutions in France.

NO PROTEST -YET. (Continued from First Page.) would be entered today was premature and not dorne out by the facts. It iseaid that know nothing more at the legation as bable attitude of England than has already made public in the newspapers. FRANCE AND GERMANY NOT MUCH INTERESTED. Lord Roseberry’s statement to the Hawaiian charge at London yesterday that England, France and Germany would protest against the annexation of Hawaii by the United States is believed to have good foundation only so far as England is concerned. ‘The interests of France and Germany in that country is of not sufficient importance, it is suid here, to warrant either of them in proceeding even so far as a protest against the political absorption of the islands by the United States in case 1t was deemed best by this country to take that action. Dr. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian representative here. expects England to protest and to protest vigorously. He thinks that there will be a concentration at Honolulu, as rapidly as possible, of the naval forces of England now in the Pacific for the purpose of making a demonstration. But it is not probable, in the opinion of Dr. Smith, that this will affect the sentiment of the people in any way. The com- mercial interests of Hawaii are practi- cally all with the United States, and although the armpathiew of the native population, under the influence of the members of the roval family, are undoubtedly with the English, still the property interest of the land will eventa- ally control its destiny. That interest is in favor of political incorporation with the United Mares | States. MINISTER SMITH ON THE OUTLOOK. In conversation with a Stam reporter this morning Minister Smith said that so far as he had any official information there had been no change in the annexation matter. “Ido not even know that England has en- teted any protest against the annexation of y the United States or that she con- templates any euch protest beyond what I have heard in an informal way. Of course a protest from England may reasonably be looked for. Various European nations have moneyed interests in Hawaii, and England especiails would be glad to have the islands come under her power and she would naturally hesitate to fee them annexed to the United States without at least expressing a very strong objection. This would come in the form of diplomatic interference and may be well ex- pected from other countries also if the United States decides to accede to the request of Hawaii to be taken m. “But, really,” continued Mr. Smith, “T have had no official information myself and I can hardly say I know any more about the matter than any one else. The commissioners from Hawaii should arrive in this city early next Friday c morning and then you learn all there is to learn in tho matter. do I think will be the outcome of the Weil, really I have no more idea than you have. If you could tell me what Congress is going to do I might be able to tell you, but as it all rests with them you can do your own guessing.” In Congress the situation continues to be privately discussed by members. ‘ME. HARMER'S VIEWs. Mr. Harmer, a member of the House foreign affairs committee, suid to day: “approve of the steps already taken by the representatives of the United States at Honolulu, as it has revented the government ‘of Great +Britain from assuming a protectorate over the islands, which would have resultedsin abso- lute possession in the near future, which, if to avoid, we were compelled to accept the propo- sition for annexation at once I would favor it. Our government should look to its own inter- ests first. which Great Britain never fails to do. No European power should be allowed to seize Hawaii at any time and especialy while the representatives are begging at our doors for annexation. It is claimed that no international treaty would be violated by annexation. France and Great Britain recognized the independence of the islands in 1843, and subsequently the United States, Much’ will depend upon the develop- ments of the next few days, but I believe with careful consideration, keoping American inter- ests constantly in view, we shall reach a con- clusion which will be satisfactory to the people of our country.” coo FEARS OF AN ICE GORGE. ‘The Pennsylvania Company Show Anxiety About the Long Bridge. ‘The Pennsylvania railroad officials are con- siderably exercised over the threatened de- struction of the Long bridge by the ice gorge. | This morning a messenger from the depot brought the following letter from Mr. J. B. Hutchinson: “We have reports from the upper Potomac that the ice is breaking in the vicinity of Cum- berland, the chances being that it will gorge near that point. Please advise the Commis- sioners of the fact and ascertain what has been done in the way of clearing the channel below the Long bridge. Please advise me promptly.” Commissioner Ross stated to the messenger that the boats which were to clear the river had sailed this morning and one of the tugs was expected to work about the Long bridge this evening. ‘These facts were fully set forth in yesterday's Stax. phed to Commissioner Ross today that he would be on time and that his fleet would con- sist of five tugs. gz MR. COLE Several Gentlemen Suggested as the Next District Attorney. ‘The confirmation of District Attorney Cole as associate justice of the Supreme Court of the District has aroused considerable interest as to his successor. Mr. Cole will not take his seat, of course, antil his successor is confirmed, and’ in no event until after the conelu: sion of the hearing as to the mental condition of Howard J. Schneider, which will be begun tomorrow morning, and which, it ix expected, will continue fot at least a week. It seems that Mr. A. A. Birney is the man most Mkely to succeed District Attorney Cole. Mr. Birney, it will be remembered, was Capt, Cole's most formidable competitor for the position and it seems to be the impression of those best in- formed in the matter that Mr. Birney will re- ceive the appointment. It is that the President will make the nomination in a day or two, in order thut the new judge may take his seat immediately upon tne confirmation, which, it is expected, will follow in a week’s time.

This sec: tion made an approprintion | of a million dollars, and Mr. Harris’ explanation of its omission was that under the House rule bill or amendment containing an ‘ppropriation would have to go to commit- tee, and he wished to have that delay and ob- struction avoided. He asked to have the sub- | stitute agreed to now and to have a conference ordered. Mr. Hill (N. Y.) eaid he had not been able to bein the chamber when the Senate bill was under consideration. He preferred that the House bill and the substitute ehould go over till tomorrow that he might have an oppor- tunity to examine them.

THE HAWAITAN RESOLUTION. ‘The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Chandler (N. H.) requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the representatives of the provisional government of Hawaii was was Inid before the Senate, and Mr. Chandler explained his motives for offering it. He bad not intended, he said, that it should be acted on without consideration by the commit- tee on foreign relations. and he had intended yesterday to move its reference to that com- mittee. It had occurred to him, however, that it would be wise for Congress to initiate action on the subject. ‘The commissioners from the present provisional goverament of Hawaii would not arrive in Washington until the end of this week; and it was fair to presume that the rest of the week would be occupied by the executive in considering the subject. The 4th of March would then be near at hand. And so be had thought that ona subject on which there was such a unanimity of opin- ion among the American people Congress might well initiate action. American interests were Very extensive in the Sandwich Islan and the property of those islands wi mainly owned by American citizens. The Uni States government had never shown any dis- position to destroy the native government of Hawaii. On the contrary it had always main- tained such government and had attempted to keep in power the existing dynasty. But at the same time there bad been a feeling that if the native government should fail an American solution would be found for the difficulties on the islands, But if it should that a stable, independ- ent government could not be mai ana support of any foreign government should be Fequired, then tho sentiment was that the United States would be willing and desirous to annex the islands. In view of the shortness of the session and of the desirability of avoi an extra session, he thought that some action should be taken on the subject by Congress. He thought it due to the commissioners who were on their way to Wash- ington that a full and complete statement should be made to them of the American policy, and that Congress should be prepared to state fully and frankly the position of the United States with reference to Huwaii to such foreign gov- ernments as might take an interest in the qnes- tion. He moved the reference of the resolu- tion to the committee on foreign relations, MR. DOLPH ADVOCATES AGGRESSIVE ACTION. Mr. Dolph (Oregon) gave it as his opin- jon that the time had arrived for a well-defined aggressive American policy; and he proceeded to read along statement of the population, trade and commerce of the Hawaiian islands.
