Omaha, Neb , Oct 3. From fl o'clock
till after 8 last night tha Omaha lire,
department had n campaign that
tested It to tho utmost. At .1:0 p. in.
un alarm brought the down town
companies to thu Farnum Street
theater. Mere a fierce blaze was rag
ing on the stage. During the next
hour live alarms were sent In. While
the opera house Are was ut Its height,
a second alarm called a portion of the
fighting force to Tvventy-sjvenlh and
Leavenworth streets where u huge
frame block was sending up a cloud
of lurid smoke At the theater the
battle was a notable one. The build
ing was a huge, live-story shell, the
auditorium being on the second iloor,
and above the stage the lly gallery
filled a dome thirty feet higher than
the roof of the building.
The lire started on the stage in tho
lly gallery. The stage hands were
busy setting the seeneiy for the even
ing performance of "The Waiis of
New York." A lly swung against the
gas-jet and in a second the wholo
mass of painted canvas was blazing
It burned so swiftly that there was no
time for lowering' the fit e-proof cur
tain that tut off the stage from the
auditorium.
Companies :i and '. were first there
am began the fight on thest.ge
They worj not permitted to remain
long there, for soon after they got to
work the roof of the dome fell and
six firemen and one b slander were
injured and one fireman was killed.
Their names are:

At 8 o'clock the lire at the thcalcr
was under control, and the chief

The silver h nil n so repeal bill was
then taken up and Mr Dubois of Ida
ho, rising to n personal statement, de
nied the remark of Mr. (Sorinnu of
Maryland, that tho resolution intro
duced by Mr. Dubois to defer the con
silient ion of financial legislation un
til tliu senatorial vacancies from the
slates of Washington, Montana and
Wyoming sliou d bo filled, was offered
for tho purpose of consuming time.
Mr. Washburn of Miuneso a sup
posed the object of the resolution was
to show that the opponents of repeal
wero being taken at an unfair advan
tage. He won d therefore stito tho
facts and allow I he senate to reach its
own conclusion. Of tho states in
question two were not silver producing
states, an I those two stites were rep
resell to I by two senators who did not
favor tin repeal of the Sherman law
lie referred to Washington and Wyo
miiig.
"I would like the senator from Min
nesota,' said Mr. Duboi-, "to state by
whose authority he makes that asser
tion "
"lly the authority of tln sonator
themselves " said Mr. Washburn
"I imagine those senatoiH will re
sent that Imputation" said Mr
)tlbois. ' I state that tho senatots
roin Washington (Squire) and Wyom
ing (Caru.O are not for tlj uncondi
tional rctc.il of the Sherman law.
The senator from Washington lias
o lie red an amendment in the iiitetest,
of silver."
'The senator of Washington (Squire)
told me," Mr. Washburn declared, "that
ie would V"'e for tli? unconditional
Vppeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherni in act."
This closed the incident and Mr.
Kyle of South Dakota addressed the
senate in opposition to tli" repeal bill.
After Mr. Kyle had been speaking
about an hour and a Irilf Ins col
league, Mr. Petligrew, suggested the
absence of a qtiortt n. Thereupon tho
roll was called, a quorum appeared
and Mr Kyle proceeded. He read his
speech from mantis -ript in ait almost
inaudible voice and. until the roll was
called, scarcely a doeu senators were
present during its delivery.
