WASHINGTON, April 3—At the con- clusion of a lively debate to-day the Sen- ate passel the oleomargarine bill by a vote of 39 to 3L The discussion was largely in the nature of a reinforcement of arguments previ- ously advanced. Spooner made the principal speech, maintaining that Congress had ample authority to en- | act the proposed was in legislation because 1 the interest of the people.- In an earnest protest against the measure Vest | of Missouri held that Congress was in- vading the powers of the States. Scott of West Virginia moved to recommit the measure to the committee, holding thai it was unsatisfactory to many Senators and ought to be perfected. The motion was defeated—35 to 37. During the afternoon a perfect flood of telegrams pouzed into the Senate from all parts of the country urging Senators either to support or to oppose the meas- ure. The measure as passed by the Senate differs in some respects from that passed by the House. It provides that oleomar- garine and kindred products shall be sub- Ject to all the laws and regulations of any State or Territory or the District of Co- lumbia into which they are transported, whether in original packages or other- wise; that any person who sells oleomar- garine and furnishes it for the use of oth- ers, except to his own family, who shall mix wi t any artificlal coloring that causes it to look like butter, shall be held 1o be a manufacturer and subject to the tax provided existing law; that upon oleomargarine colored so as to resemble butter a tax of 10 cents a pound shall be levied, but upon oleomargarine not col- ored the tax shall be one-fourth of 1 cent per pu\ln; a tax of and upon cents a pound shall be levied, all process or renovated butter the tax 1l be one-fourth of 1 cent per pound.

York, said Christmas tried to get him in- terested in the movement to sqll the Dan- ish Islands. Hansen called on Abner Mc- Kinley and asked him to become as- sociate counsel. McKinley told him that he could not be retained in any negotia- tion in which the Government was con- cerned. Hansen said he requested Colonel W. C. Brown to ask the President if there | vas any intention of buying the Danish | | West Indies. The President referred | | Brown to Secretary Hay. Christmas told | him that he had met President McKinley and Becretary Hay.

Five dollars was put up to bind the contract. On another occasion Christmas in a | saloon met an_eccentric newspaper man | named Nelkin Y. Waldberg. He told him | that he wanted to sell some islands. | Waldberg replied that islands were just in his line. Christmas gave Waldberg various sums of money ranging from $15 | | to_$%5. | { It was brought out that this was the | entire basis for the charge of Christma: that he had purchased the influence o | two press associations, Senator Lodge admitted that he had met Christmas once and frankly told him | that he (Christmas) could do nothing . to | | further the sale of the Danish West In- dies and had better go home.

THE I DSoRr— stroyed and the Loss Amounts to Nearly a Million + | Platform Affirms Declara- tions of Conventions of the Populists. LOUISVILLE, April 3.—Under the name of the Allied People’s party of the United States a new political organization was formed here to-day, composed of reform elements opposed to the Democratic and Republican partfes. The platform of the new organization embodies the platform adopted at the conference held at Kansas City last September, convention was issued to ‘‘unite the re- form forces against plutocracy.” It re- affirms the declaration of principles adopted at the national conventions of the People’s party in St. Louis, Omaha and Cincinnati.

While the People’s party, the Fusion Populists, the Socialists, the Referendum League, the Union Labor party, Public Ownership party of St. Louis, the Pro- hibition party and the United Christian party were represented on the floor of the convention by accredited or by volunteer delegates, only two national organiza- Ownership party, had given their gates any authority to form an alliance. 1t is the hope, however, of the Allied People’s party ihat other reform forces must later decide to unite with the new organization. The convention was practically dom- inated by the People’s party. At times discussions of a lively nature took place, and for a while it seemeG as though the mevement was about to fail, owing (o party delegates to make any concessions to the other reform forces present. the national committee of the People’s party, with Joseph A. Parker as its chair- man, will remain intact, with the addition of three more members from Missouri, who will have half a vote each, until the next national convention, this being a concession to the reform forces of that State. This committee will have power to call a national convention ard its head- quarters will bé situated wherever the chairman desires, except three months be- fore an election, when they will be In St. Louis. ‘The national committee will be com- posed of three members from each State and Territory and an executive committee at large every four years at a national convention. delegates at large from every State and Territory and one additional delegate for every thousand voters, based on the vote at the preceding national election. The differences between the platform committee are very slight. In the plat- form adopted the demand for initiative and referendum is found in both the pre- amble and platform. The plank on money in the platform adopted favors scientific money based up- on the encre wealth of the people of tie nation and not redeemable in any specific commodity, but to be legal tender for all debts, pyblig and private, and to be issued by the % intervent! tity to meet merce. The convention adjourned sine die after resolutions of regret at the death of former Governor Waite of Colorado had been adopted.

As M.

Hanotaux replied audibly: *“You can do | whatever you please.” The woman there- upon threw a purse in his face, crying at the same time: “‘You are a coward and a wretch. You ruined my life.” She then struck M. Hanotaux in the face with her reticule. A police commis- sary seized her and placed his hand over her mouth to prevent her from saying more. The woman was taken to a police depot, where she was interrogated and re- leased at the request of her parents. The incident caused quite a sensation in view of M.

It was reported early in the afternoon that six men had | perished in the flames, but the rumor was without foundation. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is said to have started in either Brady's baths or the,| Tariton Hotel, which adjoins the baths at Illinois avenue and the boardwalk. The ity to-night is guarded by a company- of militia, which was requested by the municipal authorities to aid the police in the prevention of looting. About a dozen men were arrested during the day for rob- bery. ’ Estimates of Losses.

Flames Rage Five Hours. The fire was discovered shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, and for nearly five hours the flames raged with such violence as to threaten the city with destructior. All of the burned buildings were frame structures, and the flames, fanned by a strong west wind, swept along the beach front with amazing rapidity. The Tarlton was s00n a pile of smoldering debris, and the flames fed on the small stores and booths between Illinois and Kentucky avenues until they reached the Stratford Hotel, which was socn enveloped. The flery tongues leaped to the Berkeley, ad- joining, and in a few minutes the New, Holland, the Bryn Mawr, the Evard and the Stickney, all located on Kentucky avenue, near the beach, were doomed. The local fire department worked well afd willingly, but was unable to cope with the flames, and it was found neces- gary to send to Philadelphia and Camden for aid. The former city sent three en- gines and two came, down from Camden. The engines were Brought here on two special trains furnist.ed by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, and they made the run of nearly sixty ‘miles in fifty-five minutes. Their presence was of vast assistance to the local fircmen, but it was not until an hour after their arrival that the fire could be said to be thurougmi\; under control. Just as the specjal train bearing the Phii- adelphia firemen arrived a burning braind set fire to the center of Young's pier, near Tennessee avenue. Meantime the flames had communicated with the Rio Crande, the Mervine and the Academy hotels and the Academy of Music, at the corner of New York avenue and beach. For a few minutes Young's pier burned fiercely, but the firemen succeeded in confining the flames to Marine Hall, w;hlch was situated in the center of the per. Excitement Among Guests. During the progress of the fire the wild- est excitement preva lad among the guests of the hotels, which later became prey to the flames. With the exception of the Tarlton and the Bryn Mawr all of the hostelries were open for the season and most of them were fairly well filled.. In most cases the guests had sufficient time to pack their trunks and fil’lg‘!. and those who did net do this carried their personal effects ta places of safety in the best manner possible under the circumstances. The beach appeared to be the most suit- Able depository, and many nondescript heaps of clothing, bedding and furniture appeared in the sand.
