The Approaching Election In Rhode
Island.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Providence, April 4.—Preparatory
work for the State election AVednea
day is nearly over. But a few more
meetings are to be held, and none
of these are of much importance,
except the Republican gathering in
this city tonight, which is to be ad
dressed by Secretary of the Navy
Tracy and Congressman Burrows,
of Michigan.
A mass meeting of Republicans
will be held tonight in Pawtucket,
where Ex-Speaker Reed will speak,
and a similar rally will be held in
Newport tomorrow night to be ad
dressed by Reed and Speaker Bar
rett, of the Massachusetts House of
Representatives.
The Democrats have finished their
large gatherings, but some small
ones Mill be held in various parts
of the State tonight and tomorrow
night.
Both parties claim to be confident
of the result, but the indications
point to the election of a Republi
can majority in the legislature. The
State ticket is likely to fail of elec
tion, with the Democrats securing
a plurality of the votes cast, which
will, however, be of no avail in case
of the election of a Republican leg
islature. Senator Aldrich considers
the outlook very satisfactory for
the Republicans, and hopes they
will receive a plurality vote for the
officers, as this will be taken as an
indication of the vote in the presi
dential election, which is by plu
rality instead of majority, as in the
State contest. The Democrats claim
that the plurality vote on State of
ficers is assured to them, and that
they hope for a majority, too, as
well as the balance of power in the
legislature.

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.
THE SENATE ON THE SILVER
QUESTION.
The Free Wool Bill Occupies the Atten
tion of the House—-Mr. Springer Ad
dresses the House and Is Greeted with
Applause.
By Telegpaph to the News and Observer.
Washington, April 4.—Senate —
The expectation of an interesting
discussion of the silver question,
based upon Mr. Morgan’s resolu
tions instructing the committee on
finance to examine into and report
upon certain phases of the subject,
seemed to have no particularly at
tractive power ou the general pub
lic, for the galleries had even less
than the usual number of specta
tors when the session of the day
began. There was a large attend
ance of Senators, but Mr. Morgan’s
own scat was unoccuped.
The Vice-President having laid
before the Senate Mr. Morgan’s sil
ver resolutions that Senator ex
pressed his willingness to let them
go over till tomorrow so as not to
stand in the way of the Indian ap
propriation bill, on condition, how
ever, that he should be allowed to
call them up tomorrow to address
the Senate thereon.
Mr. Sherman remarked that under
the rules of the Senate the Senator
might call up his resolution and
discuss it but that when the discus
sion was interrupted at 2 o’clock
the resolution would have to
go on the calendar and
could then only be taken up
on motion. That was the rule and
if the Senator from Alabama asked
that by unanimous consent the res
olutions should stand in the way of
other morning business for so long
as any Senator desired to speak on
the prolific topic of silver, he had
respectfully to object.
Mr. Morgan: I most respectfully
object to your taking me off the
floor so as to get your bill before
the Senate, (the bill which Mr.
Sherman had asked to have taken
from the calendar and acted on is
for the uniform standard of classi
fication and grading of wheat, corn,
oats, barley and rye.)
Mr. Sherman —The bill which I
ask the Senate to take up is one to
which there is no objection.
Mr. Stewart—l object to you cut
ting off discussion on the silver
question.
Mr. Dawes —I do not desire to
stand in the way of the universal
courtesy of the Senate. Therefore,
if the Senator from Alabama de
sires to go on with the discussion
of his resolution now I will not in
terpose the Indian appropriation
bill.
Mr. Morgan thereupon took the
floor to address the Senate, but
yielded to Mr. Wolcott, who gave
notice that he would address the
Senate on the silver question Wed
nesday next.
Mr. Wilson objected to any ar
rangement that would interfere
with the consideration of bills on
the calenda .
Mr. Morgan informed him that
he was not proposing to speak un
der any arrangement, but under
the rules of the Senate. He knew
that subject was one which struck
the attention of Senators in an
alarming way, because the people
of the United States were very ear
nest in the desire to have some re
lief from the existing financial con
dition and embarrassment He
knew that the behest of the party
stood in the way of free expression
of opinion in the Senate on the
question of free coinage of silver.
Mr. Morgan spoke at some length
and a coloquy followed between
him and Mr. Butler.
At 2 o’clock the unfinished busi
ness was laid aside and Mr. Morgan
was allowed to proceed with his
speech. In the course of it he re
ferred to Mr. Cleveland as having
come to the presidency with a sort
of Wall street congestive chill upon
him as commencing to prophesy
and to prophesy evil; and throw
ing the whole weight of his admin
istration against silver, begining
with the letter which he addressed
to the members of Congress before
his inauguration, in which he
begged them by all saints in the
calendar to suppress and destroy
silver coinage. He again brought
up the charge that Sherman was re
sponsible for the demonetization of
silver in 1873, but Mr. Sherman was
probably not in the chamber at the
time, at all events he paid no atten
tion to the so-often repeated
charge and so-often denied charge.
Mr. Morgan, in conclusion, said he
would let the act of 1890 stand, but
would make it compulsory on the
Secretary of the Treasury to coin
silver bullion purchased.
Mr. Morgan spoke for three hours.
As soon as he resumed his seat, Mr.
Sherman rose and said that he did
not intend to enter on a discussion
of the silver question, but he wished
to have the sense of the Senate
whether Senators were to have a
silver debate; and in order to have
that question settled definitely he
proposed to move to lay the resolu
tion on the table.
Mr. Teller —The Senator can
hardly take advantage of the reso
lution in that way.
Mr. Sherman —I do not propose
to take any advantage.
Mr. Allison asked the Vice Presi
dent, as a point of order, whether
the resolutions had not passed from
the consideration of the Senate, and
had not gone to the calendar at 2
o’clock, the Senator from Alabama
having been allowed by courtesy to
proceed with his remarks.
The Vice President expressed the
opinion that under the rules the
resolutions had gone to thefcalen
dar.
Mr. Stewart quoted from Secre
tary Foster’s Few York speech. He
condemned it in strong terms and
then made a speech on the general
subject of silver. At the close of
his remarks the matter went over,
Mr. Morgan’s resolutions being
placed on the calendar. Under the
rules they can be called up when
any Senator asks the privilege of
speaking upon them and will be
taken up on Wednesday when Mr.
Wolcott proposes to address the
Senate. Brief executive session.
Adjourned.
HOUSE.
In his praj r er this morning the
chaplain invoked the divine protec
tion upon those families which had
been rendered homeless by the
tempests in the West and by the
fire in New Orleans.
Mr. Geary, of California, moved
to suspend the rules and pass the
bill absolutely prohibiting the ad
mission of Chinese persons into the
United States.
A second to Mr. George’s motion
was ordered, 153 to 14. Mr. Hook
er, of Mississippi, and Mr. Hitt, of
Illinois, opposed the bill, and Mr.
Hermann, of Oregon, and Mr. Gea
ry, and Mr. Cutting, of California,
advocated its passage.
A motion to suspend the rules
was agreed to, and the bill was
passed, yeas 179, nays 42.
Mr. McMillen, of Tennessee,
moved that the House go into com
mittee of the whole for the consid
eration of the free wool bill, but be
fore the motiol?was put he wished
to ask a favor of the House. As
was well known, Mr. Springer, the
chairman of the ways and means
committee, had been stretched upon
a bed cf sickness and had been un
able to attend the sessions of the
House. General debate had been
closed, but he did not think that
there would be objection to allow
ing Mr. Springer to proceed for
thirty or thirty-five minutes. Os
course there was none, nor was
there any to a courteous request
made by Mr. Burrows, of Michigan,
that Mr. Springer proceed without
limit.
Mr. McMillen’s motion was agreed
to and Mr. Blount, of Georgia, took
the chair. Then from the lobby
door to the right of the chair en
tered Mr. Springer, weak and fee
ble, but looking better than many
of his colleagues expected. With
a firm step he ascended to
the Speaker’s desk where he was
cordially greeted by Mr. Blount,
while round after round of applause
from both sides of the House
evinced his personal popularity.
Leaning upon the arm of Mr.
Bryan, of Nebraska, he descended
from the rostrum and took his seat
behind a magnificent array of
flowers which kind friends had sent
to manifest their pleasure at his re
turn to the arena of usefulness.
After a few moments congratula
tions had passed Mr. Springer arose
and said that he had intended to
make extended remarks on the tariff
question but that his physician had
absolutely prohibited his doing so.
With the indulgence of the House
he would ask the gentleman from
Nebraska (Mr. Bryan) to read a few
statements he had prepared.
Mr. Bryan then in a clear voice
read the speech Mr. Springer would
have delivered had he been able.
The speech was warmly applauded.
General debate being closed the
committee took up the bill by para
graphs for amendments, and dis
cussion under the five minute rule.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, moved
to strike out from the first para
graph the provision which places
“all wools” on the free list.
The discussion was continued by
Mr. Breckinridge,of Kentucky; Mr.
McMillin, Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri,
and Mr. Scott, in opposition to the
amendment, and by Messrs. Dingley,
Milliken and Doon in advocacy.
There was an unusually large num
ber of members in attendance, bujb
they paid little or no attention to
the debate. The confusion was
very great, so great in fact that at
one time Mr. Burrows suggested
that the committee rise and the
Hou e adjourn in order to enable
members to carry on their conver
sation without being interrupted by
the Speaker.
Without taking a vote on Mr.
Burrows’ amendment the commit
tee rose and the House adjourned.

FIRE AT NEW ORLEANS.
HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES MADE
DESTITUTE.
Seven Blocks are Destroyed—lsumense
Sheets of Flame from Burning Cotton
Presses—-Loss Nearly Three Million
Dollars.
New Orleans, La, April 3. One
of the most destructive cotton fires
on record broke out at 10:30 this
morning among some cotton on the
sidewalk in front of the fire-proof
press, North Front street, between
Race and Orange. The parties who
saw smoke issuing from among the
bales gave the alarm immediately.
The department responded prompt
ly, but the wind was so high and
the cotton so dry that it burned like
tissue paper. The flames ran high,
and in almost incredible short space
of time had communicated to the
press itself and were working their
way along the woodwork of the
roof. The firemen worked like de
mons to check the progress of the
flames, but their efforts were un
availing.
The fire-proof press had about
10.000 bales of cotton stored in it.
This was consumed. It would have
been madness for the firemen to
enter the press to save the staple.
On every side tha flames were rag
ing, forming a formidable and im
pregnable fire wall. The streets
were lined with spectators drawn
to the scene from every portion of
the city.
In half an hour after the flames
started the fire proof was totally
consumed, and the flames had com
municated to the upper press. The
destruction here was as great as the
other press. In a marvelously short
space of time the flames had at
tacked the building from all sides,
cutting their way through the
woodwork with wonderful rapidity.
In this press was stored 50,000
bales of cotton, some of which was
taken out and brought to a place of
safety. The major portiou of the
staple, however, was in flames in a
short time and it was impossible to
save it. The fire ate its way along
the rafters of the press and down
through the woodwork into tho
cotton which was stored beneath
the sheds. It was only that cotton
stored in the yard that was saved.
It required but a very short time
with the high .vind that was blow
ing to destroy this press. The
sight was an awe-inspiring one.
For a space of at least two blocks a
sheet of flame shot upward. The
smoke and sparks from the fire
were blown down into the streets
by the winds, and choked and
singed the spectators. Suddenly a
small flame was seen to leap sky
ward from a corner of the Inde
pendence Press.
In a second almost the entire
square was ablaze and the flames
formed almost a solid block of fire.
In the yard were stored 10,000
bales of the flowery staple. This
proved excellent fuel for the flames
and in in a little time it was con
sumed. At length four rows of
charred walls were all that stood to
remind one of a large building that
had once occupied the site. The
last place was destroyed and its
contents, consisting of about 20,000
bales, were consumed.
The total amount of cdtton burned,
as near as can now be ascertained,
is estimated at 80,000 bales, held by
factors and commission merchants
and covered by their open policies.
Much of this cotton will be sent to
the pickeries and saved, so that the
total loss will probably not exceed
S3O per bale, making the total loss
on cotton between $200,000 and
$250,000. Losses on presses and
sheds is estimated at $150,000. It
is thought the fire started from a
cigarette which some person threw
among the cotton.
For blocks around the burning
presses the residents moved out
their furniture for fear that the fire
would spread to their homes. In
their flight they would often throw
down their parcels in the street,
where the number of fire thieves
who are generally in attendance on
these occsions got in their work.
While the cotton press fire was
raging an alarm was sent in for a
fire in the residence portion of the
city. At the time the fire depart
ment, police, and a large majority
of the residents of burning dis
tricts were at the cotton press fire.
A gale was blowing and the flumes
were fanned in all directions. Chief
O’Connor sent several engines to
the scene, but before they could get
down to active work a dozen houses
were in flames.
Alarms were sent in, and every
engine on both sides of the river
was summoned to the scene. The
heat was intense, and for this rea
son it was almost unbearable near
the burning buildings, the wind in
many instances blowing tongues of
flames across the street. The peo
ple who lived in the square bounded
by Laurel, Magazine, Second and
Third streets began to feel alarmed,
and packed up valuables, but as the
elements refused to subside, they
took fright and a wild scene ensued.
Houses were dismantled and their
contents were carried away.
House after house went down,
and the efforts of the already over-
worked firemen saemed in vain in
the face of the overwhelming odds.
Crowds gathered from far and near
and men and boys pitched in, re
gardless of the fact that they had
on their best clothes, and assisted
in removing furniture. The fire
swept across Laurel street with a
rapidity that was at once alarming,
and soon the section bounded by
first, Third, Laurel aDd Magazine
streets four squares—were ablaze,
and the wooden buildings were de
voured as if they were so much
chaff.
Magazine street stayed the march
of the destructive element west
ward and acted as a barrier on the
south. Every building in the four
squares mentioned, except four,
was destroyed. Most of the houses
were small, but some were very
handsome. Hundreds of people
have been left-homeless by the fire,
and in many cases nothing was
saved from the burning buildings.
The scene presented was truly
one of desolation. Nothing remains
of the many handsome buildings
embraced in the four squares but
tall, gaunt-looking chimneys, like
huge spectral forms standing guard
over the blackened ruins. The
losses by the fir 6 are estimated at
$250,000. It is believed the build
ings were mostly insured.
A DUEL AT A CHURCH.
A Revenue Officer Killed by a Horse
Thief.
Special to the News and Observer.
Lenoir, N. C., April 3.—Julius D.
Miller, a revenue officer of Lenoir,
was killed today at one o’clock in
Wilkes county, near the Caldwell
and Wilkes line, by a young man
calling himself Mitchell and claim
ing to live in Wilkes county, who
stole a horse from C. H. Baker, at
Limestone Cove, Union county,
Tenn., Wednesday night.
Baker followed the trail through
Mitchell, McDowell, Burke and
Caldwell counties and lost track
near Lenoir yesterday. Miller took
the case in hand and found the
trail followed down the Yadkin
river across to the Ridge road, and
ran up on him at Little Rock
church today, where there was a
large crowd at preaching. They
had an exciting duel and Miller was
killed and the man abandoned the
stolen horse and escaped in the
woods.
Justice Lamar’s condition Serious.
Washington, April 3.—Tbe con
dition of Justice Lamar, of the Su
preme Court, is much more serious
than the public generally is aware
of. He Has suffered with hem
orrhages from the lungs for sev
eral days and in addition is sai l to
have symptoms of Bright’s disease.
His family is greatly woried at his
condition. The recurrence of the
hemorrhages precludes sleep, and
this greatly aggrevates his trouble.
Notwithstanding the gravity of his
case Justice Lamar is still strong
enough to write, and when a re
porter called at his house to ascer
tain exactly how he was, the Jus
tice sent downstairs the following
bulletin in his own handwriting :
“About the same, with some im
provement. Hemorrhages less in
number and not so profuse. Com
