DETAIL SOT COMPLETED. On Third of the Hemoernt Opponetl o ilie Proposed Hule. Tne struggle over the adoption of the few quorum-counting rule decided upon by th? democratic caucus last Friday will he the feature of the coming week In the house. The details of the rule li. ve not yet ben formulate! by the democratic members of the committee on rules composed of Speaker Crisp and Messrs.. Catching and Outwaite, but it v.ill probably be ready to submit to the full committee whvn it meets tomorrow jnornir.g. Inasmuch as about one-third of the democrats are opposed to any quommlountinr; rule, as indicated by the vote in the caucus, it will be impossible for the democrats alone, should the republicans d'-cline to vof and the democratic opposition sustain their opinions to the extent of declining to vote, to make a quorum to adopt such a rule, in other vords, tinP-ss the rule framed by the democratic triumviiate of the committee on rules is satisfactory tj the republicans the latter could, if they choose, prevent it? adoption. The republicans will, however, shortly acquiesce in the adoption of any rule that contains the essential principle of recording as "present, but not voting" those members who decline to respond to their names. This is th parliamentary principle which Mr. Iteed has been contesting ever ince the end of the Fifty-first congress. It must be embodied in any new rule submitted to the house or it cannot be adopted. It J. expected that when the rule is presented Mr. l:e?d will make one of the preatft Speer hes nf his life. Owing to the death of Senator Van e the house will probably adjourn immediately tomorrow and th fight over th nw rule will b postponed until Tuesday. It is probable that but little time will b allowed for debate and the chance is that when the bouse adjourns Tuesday evening the niionim-foiinilnu rule will have been adopted and filibustering cf the kind which has charncterize!i the proceed in fr of the house for the past three years will be a thing of the paft. The resolution adopter! by the caucus instructing the sergeant-at-erms to enforce pec. 40 of the revised Ptatutes fining absent members, save on account of sicknes. It is beljeypd, will have the effect of securing a very full attendance in the house hereafter. As soon as the new order of things have been inaugurated in the house the consideration of the appropriation bills svill he resumed and wilt consume the temainlex cdLtho iveek. Altec U19 post-

The Renate will adjourn after the hour of meeting tomorrow out of respect for the memory nf Senator Zeb Vance of North Carolina, whose death occurred suddenly Saturday night. With the exception of the Chinese treaiy, which is to be considered on Tuesday, and the routine morning business of each day, the remainder of the week promises nothing but a continuation oj the tariff debate. There is littldoubt that the senate will accept the agreement reached letwecn Senators Harris an 1 Aldrich providing that general cPbate on the tariff shall continue ech day front 1 to ." o'clock, and that it shall not be interrupted by roil calls or other business. This will probably preclude all parliamentary contests and pave the way for ti n or a dozen prepared tariff speeches. The democratic side of the chamber will furnish a greater number of speeches this week than last. Sei-ator Smith had given notice of a speech for Monday, but it will be postponed until Tuesday or later. Senator MoLaurin will speak on Wednesday. Eater in the week Senators Tu r pie and Palmer, and possibly other democratic senators will speak. On the republican side. Senators Oolph. Morrill. Perkins, Hisgins, rjallinsr. Hoar. Cullom, Cameron and Washburn will probably address the senate in the ordr named, if time is permitted all of them, and if there should ;t any time by any lack of speakers. S-nat r Quay will continue the sp-ech h-gun by himself on Saturday,' the delivery of which, it is underI stood, will consume several days' time. Senator Morrill's llirllidiiy. Senator Jti--nn S. Morrill of Vermont celebrated his olghty-forrth birthday yesterday. In the evening he held his customary birthday reception and front 0 o'clock until midnight his home was thronged with fri-nds and associates who came to offer congratulations. Senator Morrill is th- oldest man in either branch of congress. He was elected to the lower house in 1ST,." and in IS:!" was pent to the senate, to which lie has been four times returned.

The De Ruiter was heavily laden and her cargo, which consists largely of beH sugar in bags and cases- of window gla.ss. would make it extremely dilllcult to keep floating in the event of her In-tng stove In by ice. It is possible, however, that her machinery may have become deranged, or that she has lopt her propeller, and In a helpless condition she may have drifted tj the southward, out of the track of European steamers, which would account for her not being sprken by some one of the recent arrivals.

April K.-jThe supreme court ha-s just granted the writ of ouster in the fire anl iollce txnard controversy, and orderM the old hoard to turn over the offices at noon tomorrow. This is a complete victory for (rovernor Waite. Since the supreme court hrts rendered Its decision the members of the old board have decided to keep their agreement to abide by the decision of the supreme court, and are already making preparations to leave and turn over the otlices as required. There will b- no further contention in the courts or by fnrce. and the question is absolutely and peacably settled. As the police force has liin-n active In support of the old board no doubt exists that there will he an entirely reorganized police force, the ollicers leing supplanted by itopulist men. It Is the general opinioa here that Governor Waite acted within the provisions of the law, and that tne opposition on th part of the old itoard to complying with his demand for its resignation existed purely Ixx'ause the iersonal and political advantages the position offered.

FIGHT BOT BEGUN,

Real Struggle Over the Tariff Bill Is Ahead, When It Comes Up April 23 for Amendment. HILL CANNOT DEFEAT IT. Forty-Three Votes Necessary to Kill the Measure, And at Present They Are Not Forthcoming. The Hill Will i Doubt He l'nsei or Fail hy July 1 The Meeflnir of the Senate nntl Ilotine Adjou rn men t Hat of Hepeet to the Memory of Senator Vauce Other ew, BURKAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON, D. C, April IS. By an agreement entered into between the democratic and republican leaders of the senate this week will close up general debate on the tariff bill. Hut the struggle will only begin April 23. The bill will bo taken up and read by paragraphs. Each paragraph will bo -subject to amendment and discussion. There are 600 paragraphs of tariff schedules and 102 sections relating to the administrative internal revenue, including the income lax. Under the rules, or rather absence of rules of the senate, the republicans have' the power to keep the bill in committee of the whole all summer. There is no limit to the number of amendments that an lo offered to a single paragraph. By consent of action the republicans could consume a whole day's session in one paragraph. J very senator could speak on every amendment offered. If this course was undertaken the democrats could force the republicans to keep on talking from noon till late at night. The young men on the republican side are, with two exceptions, from the mining states. These sliver senators are not worrying about the tariff bill and with the exception of Mitchell of Oregon and Carey of "Wyoming they could not be prevailed by their eastern brethren to talk againr-t time to delay final action on the tariff bill. Mitchell can make long speeches, but Carey can not speak five consecutive minutes on any subject. A fVw night sessions would soon subdue Sherman, Hoar, Morrill ojid the other protectionist leaders. Quay and Higgins could stand the strain, but they can't speak. Unless Hill joins the republicans the Wilson bill will be passed or killed by the .senate before the 1st of June. The bill is in no clanger of defeat. Hill cannot defeat it. It will take fortythree votes to kill it. The republicans have thirty-seven, the populists four. Th populists are now on record. Allen and Kyle will vote for the bill provided the income tax is retained and no more protection is injected. Peffer would vote for the Wilson bill, but will not vde for it as amended by the finance committee. So he can be counted against the bill. Stewart is counted against the bill also. This gives the republicans thirty-nine votes. Counting Hill. Murphy and Smith of New Jersey against the bill the opposition would have forty-two votes or one short of the fatal numler. McPherson has repeatedly stated he would vote for the bill after doing his be.-t to amend it. Brice in interviews also declartd his Intention to vote for the bill, although he did not like it. Gorman got his coal concession, but even without it he would not dare to vote against the bill. It would be the end of Gorman in Maryland. The Louisiana senators are placated with the sugar tax. The democrats can spare Hill, Murphy. Smith or New York and even Brlce, and yet pass the bill with the vote of the vice-president. Everj' good democrat hopes that Hill, Murphy, Smith and Brice wili vote against the bill because the finance committee made certain concessions to them which would be taken back in conference between the two houses. For example, the finance committee raised the tax on collars and cuffs to f.O per cent, and shirts to ."5 per cent, to placate Murphy, who has some investments in Troy collar and cuff Industries. This tariff is practically prohibitive, which give Troy manufacturers a fine opportunity to form a collar and cuff trust. House "Will ot Concur. But the passage of the bill by the senate will not end the tariff contest. The house will refuse to concur in the senate amendments. The bill will be referred to a conference committee composed of seven members of the ways and means committee and seven members of the senate finance committee four dmocrats and three republicans from each committee. Even when the conferences from the two bouses agree their report is not always approved by their resistive houses. The house will no doubt instruct its committee to reject the senate amendments on the coal, iron, sugar schedule and the extension of the whisky bonded period. The house might accept a tax on raw sugar, but it will never accept the lax on refined sugars which is the life of the sugar trust. The eight years whisky bonded period will never go through the house. On these two items there may be a deadlock between the senate and house for weeks. Murphy's collar and cuff tax will hardly go through, but it is not supposed that there will be a contest on this paragraph. But before July 4 the tariff bill will be out of congress. Indiana Mntter. HTTREAU OP THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON, D. C, April Iß. The Indian appropriation bill abolishes the office of superintendent of Indian schools. It legislates out of office Prof. Hailman of Laporte. In the readjustment of committee's caused by the dth of Senator Vance, Mr. Turpie will probably get the chairmanship on privileges and elections or patents.

I'uneral Service in the Senate Over the Late Z. II. Vnnee. The senate today pail respect to the memory of the late Senator Vance of Xcrth Carolina. In his opening prayer the chaplain alluded to the deceased in words of touching sympathy and honor. Appropriate resolutions were adopted and the following honorary pall-bearers on the part of the senate were appointed by the vice-president : Senators Morrill, Sherman, Harris and McPheison. The senate then re ess Nd until the hour when the funeral services were conducted in the senate chamber. At the conclusion of th'i ceremonies the senate adjourned. The tariff bill -".ill be laid alie tomorrow and the s-:i;jte will go into executive session at 1 o'clock for the consideration of the Chinese treaty. The managers of the tariff bill have only agreed to give one ,jlty for the treaty, and its friends will make a strong effort to have it disposed of before adjournment. In this they will be antagonized by many of 'the western senators and by some republicans from either sections of the country. The opp-ments of the treaty will attempt f.rst to defeat it outright, and. faili2r in that, will try to have it amende. 1. Senator Morgan eald today that he thought the treaty will be ratified as it now stands. The first question to be disposed of in connection with the treaty tomorrow will be Senator Mitchell's motion to consider it in open session. Owing to the d-.tru of Senator Vance the house tra.nso.-ttd no public business today. Kesolutio'v of respect to the memory of the distinguished North Car.lina statesman were unanimously adopted. The house, a body, participate! i l the funeral ceremonies in the senate.

Henderson of North Carolina, Black cf Illinois, Alexander of North Carolin:!, Brookshire of Indiana. Crawford of North Carolina. Daniels of N'tw York, Strong of Ohio, p.lair of Xew Hampshire and Honk of Tennessee. Appropriate resolutions were also adopted in honor of the memory of Gen. Henry Slocum, the gallant union general, formerly a member of the house, who diel in "Brooklyn last Saturday, and then as a further mark of respect for Senator Vance the house aJpourned. .Mills May Succeed. There is already jnore or less quiet talk about the? senate a- Mr. Vance's probable successor on ii finance committee. Conversations with a number of democratic senators today develops the fact that a majority of them are of the opinion that the choice will fall upon Senator Mills of Tex as. He Is considered especially eligible because of th attention he has given for years to financial questions and the fact that he waa caosen for this post temporarily in the absence of Senator McPherson. Agree on n Ilnle. Aft -r a session e. .. hours to .lay the democratic; members of the house committee on rules agreed on the new quorum-counting rule and thereupon sent l")l" Messrs. Heed P. ml Harrows, the republican members of the committee. It is understood that the rule provides for ascertaining a quorum by counting members present but not voting, and also for lining members who absent themselves from the house. The rule will probably bo presented to the house, tomorrow. Jfote. The new senator from Georgia, Mr. Walsh, paid his liist visit to the white bouse.

LOSS OF Ä MILLION

By the Burning of a Big Glucose Plant, With the Chances for a Number of Deaths. SEVERAL MEN INJURED In tho Escape from tho Big Buildings. Four Immense Structures Totally Destroyed. The Employes of the IJig; HufTalo Concern, Mostly Poles autl Germans, lntiy of Whom Are Siipponeil to Hnvc PeriHheil Tlie Largest Eire In the City for Venn. BUFFALO. X. Y.. April 12. The plant of the American glucose company burned tonight. The- loss will be about $1,000,000. The insurance is $:S.",000. The works of the company consisted of an. eleven-story brick building used for the manufacture of glucose and starch, an eight-story brick building used as a power houso and as a place for making the cattle-feeding product, an eight-story brick building used as a refinery and an eight-story storehouse. The fire was discovered In the dynamo room of the main building shortly after 7 o'clock by the engineer. He gave the alarm and he and his firemen rushed out. In ten minutes the whole eleven floors were on lire, flames were bursting through the windows and darting from the roof. There were perhaps 12" men at work tonight. It will not be known until a census of the employes is taken tomorrow whether one man or fifty men were cremated. It is known that -some of the men escaped by the fire escapes and some of those on lower stories jumped into the canal. A great many of the men at work on the tit oer floors were ignorant Boles and Gerrnans. They may have been burned. It is impossible to tell now. The chances are, however, that several men were burned to death. As it was four of the men who jumped were hurt. These are: John Young, a workman, jumped; hurt about the head and face. Two Poles, cannot ppeak English, names unknown, both severely injured; one has both legs broken. John Stein, workman, severely burned. In fifteen minutes the entire main building was a mass of flames. In twenty minutes the walls began to fall. And they fell at frequent intervals until, inside of forty-five minutes, there was but one corner standing. The main building was connected with the power and fei d house by an elevate I brklge over Seott-st. The llanifS crept across this and ignited tho feed house. Meanwhile the city fish market, just across the street, caught lire. Five firemen were sent inside it to light the Haines and a number of streams were turned on the roof. The building was a long, low brick structure and the liremen made a goctd light to save it, but a portion of the blazing wall fell on it and started the roof tj burning liercely. The firemen inside did not know of this and no one told them. The consequence was that in a few minutes the roof fell in and buried he five firemen. Three of them escajed with no other injuries than a few bruises, but John Weber and Lieut. Louis Schräder of the same company were not so fortunate. Weber was takn out unconscious. His face is badly burned, some of his ribs broken and lie has also internal injuries. It is a question whether he lives or dies. Lieut. Schräder had his back and legs hurt. Both wore taken to hospitals. The feed house was completely destroyed, the walls all having fallen by 10 o'clock. The refinery and the storehouse went next, and by 11 o'clock there was nothing left of the establishment but a few tottering walls. The giueuse works were owned and controlled by C. C. Hamilton, the famous trotting horse man an.l his sons. After 12 o'clock the progress of the tire was checked. It will be" several hours before iL is completely under control. The situation at midnight was such that placed all the surrounding property out of danger from destruction. The firemen were doing excellent work and bad the flames completely under control. Neatly all the walls have fallen and It is uow merely a question of time before the flames shall have consumed the combustible materials in the buildings. Firemen Chris Ling of truck No. 1 was compelled, on account of the danger from falling walls about midnight, to jump from the roof of one of the low buildings to the ground. He escaped with a broken leg and slight injuries. No further serious accidents have been reported up to this hour 1:30 a. m. BUFFALO. April 13. It is still Impossible to ascertain the exact loss by the burning of the American glucose works yesterday. About eighty men were at work in the building when the lire broke out. Some to avoid death in the burning building leaped from the windows only to be buried under falling walls in th canal. Two men who jumped from the burning building into the canal were but slightly hurt. With their scaling ladders the firemen reached the windows on the sixth floor in time to rescue a dozen workmen. When the flames flared full in their faces they were forced to retreat, but they knew that above the sixth floor were between thirty and forty workmen. Escajve by stairways or fire laddets being cut off their doom was sealed. Perhaps half of the number must have perished. These laborers were Poles for the rhoBt part. Many a Bob employed in the glucose works last night dtd not come to breakfast this morning, and. as a consequence weeping wives wre early at the hospitals looking for their husbands and findiig that quest vain, still stand tearful about the ruins of the factory waiting for the exhuming of their dead. Although heavy streams were pouring on the ruins all night and a half dozen engines have been pumping water on the Fteaming bricks today, it may be the dawn of another day before the work j of excavating can be successfully car ried on. Inquiries have been made by relatives for the following twelve workmen who are missing and supposed to have been burned or crushed to death: John Hlume. John Casper, Michael Glntig, John Huber, George Jepha. Tony Hoffman, James Lobiak. Michael Maleskl. John Odeska. Stephen Sinki, John Trübe John Ziuser.
