The Sew Administration Astonishing Their Opponents by Carrying: Out the Platform Promises. A "Long List of Nominations Sent to tho ßenato-Some Stracgo Orders Ieeued. FULFILLING THEIR PROMISES. A Stratge Spectacle to the Republicans. Special to the Fcntinel. Washington, March 25. The movements of Democratic Secretaries appear to perplex and enrage the Republicans. Ante-election promises of reform and retrenchment are as common as party platforms. The republi cans are great hand a at makirg each prom ises, but they never fnliill them. The o'd veiee Wren the devil wa? sick. The devil a monk would be: Hut when the devil got well. The devil a monk was he, fits their case exactly. Hence their perplex ity at finding the Democratic administration faithfully carrying ont the reforms promised at Chicago. The reduction of the clerical force at the Executive Mansion, and the dismusal of large numbers of superfluous inspectors, examiners, and bo on, by the Tressury and Pcstoffice Departments, strikes them unfavorably. It is a significant com mentary on their own methods bo plain that they can not fail to see its force. Secretary Manning's action, too, in appointing Ja board to inquire into the extent that the Treasury force can be cut down without impairing the efficiency of the department is another evidence of reform that trie Republicans, are puzzled at. In short, the Republicans are anxiously inquiring as tu the whereabouts of the "hungry and thirsty Democrats" of whom they have heard so much. That they arc not and have not been here is certain. It disgusts the Repnb licans. TLey hoped to see the Democrats break their necks at the first hurdle. Indiana poll 1'ostmastership Personals. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 25. Nearly everybody except Representative Bynum and Vice President Hendricks expressed surprise to-day at the failure of tha President to nom inate a Postmaster at Indianapolis. These gentlemen know it is a matter of much doubt whether the question will be settled very soon. Bynum reiterated to night that he wns confident Creelrran would ba appointed. Several telegrams were received to-day by Mr. Hendricks from business men in Indian apolis entering a protest against the appoint ment cf Creelman; they say Credman has no interest in Indianapolis and should not have the pesition. A number of these indorse Jones. It is believed that the President, though inclined with the Postmaster General to favor Creelman for Bynum's sake, would like to see a new man chosen. One who would not be objectionable to either faction. This seems hardly likely, however, as the matter has gone so far. Kx-Repr?8entative Stockälager started home to-nigjt, and James M. Harrison, Clerk of the County Court, and Thomas R. Marshal, of Whitley County, are here. a Thomas Byrnes, of Kvansyille, is in the city. Hon. Dick Thompson, H. F. Thompson and wife, T. o. Pse and wife, are here. NATIONAL AFFAIRS. An Opinion Furnished by Attorney Gen. eral Garland Matters of Interest Generally. Washington, March 23. Attorney General Garland has furnished an opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury, in which he holds that salted meats which are exported with the benefit of a drawback of duties on foreign salt used in curing the meats, are entitled to be reimported duty free upon the refunding of the drawback. This opinion applies particularly to the case of the AngloAmerican Pork Packing Company, ot Chicago, which recently exported a large quantity of pork cured with foreign salt, upon which they received a drawback. The meat not lindin; a ready market abroad was reimported, and under the decision made by Secretary McCallcch the company was required to pay duty on both meat and salt as foreign good3. Secretary Lamar ha3 issued an order closing the interior Department to morrow out of respect to the memory of the late Jacob Thompson, of Kentucky, Secretary cf the Interior dnring the Administration of President Buchanan.

RAGING FLAMES Destroy a Theate r and a Church at HufTalo One Slan Killed Opera Costumes Uuroed, Bcitalo, March 25 This evening, as an attache of Music Hall was lighting thegss above the stage, a drop 11 y took tire from a defective burner. In an instant the whole stage was in flames, and six minutes later the entire building was burning. The McCaul Opera Company were dressing preparatory to the production of "Folfca," and had barely time to escape, some only partially dressed. The company lose the entire wardrobes for the operas of Folka," "The Little Duke" and "The Queen's Lace Handkerchief," and the company had most of their trunks brought to the building, and these were consumed also. Very few persons had crrived to witne33 the performance, and all escaped without injury. An hour later the St. Louis Ho man Catholic. Church, at the rear of Music Hall, took fire, and it was eoon evident that that magnificent edifice was doomed. The street between Music Hail and the church was very narrow, rendering it impossible for the l ire Department to do effective work. George Smith and Joseph Green ascended ladders in front of the church for the purpose of assisting the firemen in directing the work. The building burned rapidly and the firemen and Smith hastily left the roof, which they had reached, but lor some reason Green remained and frantically rushed to the cupola, climbing it in full view of thousands of spectators. He clambered to tha lightndngrcd, but returned and rushed to the mdy of the rcof, which was now burning fiercely. He rushed to tne corner of the building, and heedless of the cries of the firemen, who had a tarpaulin stretched for him to jump into, made for the tower, and from it hung by his hands for fully ten minutes. An attempt was made to reach him with a ladder, but it was unsuccessful, owing to the net-work of telegraph wires surrounding the buildiog. At this time the entire front of the church was enveloped In flames. When the smoke cleared away he was seen still clinging to the edge of the roof. Then he lunged farward, let go his hold and fell. He struck on his bead and. was instantly killed. At 8 o'clock the tower of the Music Hall fell in, and & few minutes after the front walls fell into the street. The south wall, which was unusually strongly built, as it was within ten feet of & large private dwell ing, remains intact. The tire was finally confined to the Music Hall and the church. The Music Hall was completed in 1SS3, having been about a year in the course of construction. St. Louis' Church was the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the city. Music Hall will be remembered as the place of holding the Democratic State Convention of 1SS3, and the giand mnsic festival at which Theodore Thomas and Dr. Damr03ch appeared in June, 18S4. Decoyed Into Canada and Arrested.
