DAVIS SHOWS HIS HAND.
Washington, October 13. Logan of
fered a resolution to elect Senator Da
vid Davis President of the Senate which
went over until to-morrow under the
rules. Senator Davis was in his seat
and made no motion to object. It is
now definitely known he will accept
and that his election will be accom
plished by his omission to vote. The
Republicans had assurances of his ac
ceptance before nominating him.
DIPLOMATIC CALLERS.
The members of the diplomatic corps
called in a body upon the President to
day, and were formally presented by
Secretary Blaine.
INTERNAL REVENUE STOREKEEPER.
Samuel C. Bruce was to-day appoint
ed Internal Revenue Storekeeper for
the lirst district of California.
PENDLETON TAKES IT BACK.
Pendleton has, upon the advice of
Bayard and other Democrats, while in
the executive session, withdrawn the
objection to the immediate considera
tion of the resolution to elect Davis.
SOME OP 'EM DON'T LIKE IT.
Some Democratic Senators think that
Pendleton's action in withdrawing the
motion to let the resolution electing
Davis, lie over, unwise. Had it been
deferred until to-morrow, Bayard
would have had an opportunity to fill
the vacancies in the Committees. Un
der Edmund's resolution adopted this
morning, he could have given the
Democrats a maioritv on the Finance.
Military and Judiciary Committees and
still been able to provide lor new Sena
tors on inferior Committees. Other
Senators saw that Bayaad would have
been too delicate to take advantage of
the delay, knowing that his tenure was
so brief. No more caucuses are to be
called. The Senators all agree that the
session will end in a few days.
THE SENATE AMUSED.
There was something in the election
of Davis which amused the Senate.
When Harris, in the chair, appointed
Bayard, just deposed after so short an
incumbency, to escort Davis to the
chair, the smile that had played over
the senate broko into a moderate laugh
Davis joined in the laugh ana was es
corted to the chair in apparent good
humor. VV hen Davis returned thanks,
Edmunds oft'ered a motion thanking
Bayard for the impartiality displayed
by nim as President. This seemed to
strike the Senate as a satire and more
laughter ensued. Edmunds saw he had
been misunderstood and rebuked the
senators then said lie ottered the mo
tion in all sincerity and Mr. Bayard
was entitled to thanks because he had
occupied the chair at a time when par
tison or partial feelings could have been
made and would have worked injus
tice. He insisted that Bayard had been
fair in all things and the resolution was
unanimously adopted.
INGEKSOLL WILL MAKE HIS SPEECH.
In the Criminal Court to-day Judge
Cox announced that to-morrow mom
ing's session would be taken up with the
argument of Col. Bob Ingcrsoll, counse
for Gen. Brady, on the motion to quash

I he Senate, in executive session to
day, confirmed the nomination of Han

GOOD ACT.
President Arthur ordered that all de
partments be closed to-morrow at 12
that the employees may have an oppor
tunity to participate in the reception of
ine r runcn visuors.
ARTHUR AND THE' YORKTOWN CENTEN
NIAL.
President Arthur has determined that
he will not send nominations for Cabi
netuntil after the Yorktown celebra
tion. He said to Senators this afternoon
that he would be gratified if the Senate
would not take any early steps toward
adjournment. He added, of course
he would have to go to Yorktown him
self and would be pleased to have al
the Senate go. When asked further as
to his wishes, he suggested that the
NEWS
Senatj take a recess of several days to
attend the Centennial and do honor to
the French and German visitors. He
added that he would not detain the
' Senate many days after their return.
As the original programme 01 tne ixov

President wants to carry it out. There

DAVID DAVIS DISAPPOINTED TÜE DE
MOCRATS.
There is apparent disappointment
among the Democratic Senators at Se
nator Davis1 election. They generally
believed up to the last moment that he
would not accept. Some criticise him
pretty severely, saying he has virtual
ly abandoned his much boasted
independent position. A Democratic
Senator who generally reflects his party
sentiment accurately, says Judge Davis'
ambition was tempted by the possibil
ity of reaching the Presidential chair,
and that overcame his usually good
judgment.
The Senate.

ber of nominations were received from

Senator Lamar oflered a resolution
reauesting the President to advise the
Senate whether any action had been
taken bv the government since the last
session of the Senate toward protect
ing the rights and interests of the Uni
ted States in the project of the Inter-
Oceanic Canal. Tabled for future ac
tion. Senator Edmunds called up his reso
lution continuing the standing commit
tees as constituted last session.
Senator Garland ottered an amend
ment providing that only the following
committees shall be continued : Foreign
Relations, linance. Commerce, Mili
tary Affairs, Judiciary, Post Oilicesand
Post Roads, Public Lands, Pensions
and Indian Aflairs. He contended that
the committees named were the only
ones that would have any work during
the special session.
senator n,dmunds opposed mo amend
ment. There were committees not pro
vided for which in his opinion would be
necessary to perform the work ot the
session, tie instanced tne committee
on
Privileges and Elections as one
which should be organized. There was
on the tabic the petition presented by
the Senator from New Jersey Mc
Pherson said to seriously affect the
right of the Senators from New York to
seats in this body. Then there was the
Committee on Railroads which might
have work to do. It was known from
public reports that there had been an
important officer suspended for somu
supposed failure of duty and by law it
was required that such suspension
should be reported to the Senate. The
Committee on Contingent Expenses was
also a necessary committee.
Senator Garland stated he would
modify the amendment so as to con
tinue the Committees of Privileges,
and elections and contingent. He
thought it would then include all the
Committees necessary to organize at
this time.
Senator Garland's amendment was
rejected; yeas 35, nays 37; Davis, of Il
linois, and Mahone voting with the Re
publicans.
senator Edmund s resolution was
then adopted. Yeas 37, nays 35.

lution for the election of Davis Davis,
Senator from Illinois, as President pro
tem. of the Senate.
Senator.Pcndleton asked that the re
solution lay over one day under the
rules. So ordered.
The Executive session followed.
At one o'clock p. m. the doors re
opened and the Senate again met in
pen session.
Senator Penibletoa stated that upon
consultation with the Senators on
his side of the chamber he had conclud
ed to withdraw his objection to the im
mediate consideration of the resolution
Eroposing the election of Senator David
'avis, President pro tem, of the Senate.
The Senate then proceeded consider
ing the action on the resolution.
Senator Jones, of Florida, opposed
the adoption of the resolution in a brief
speech taking tne ground that the ten
ure of office of the President pro tem
is during the absence of the Vice-Prcsi
dent of the United States.
A vote was taken on Logan's resolu
tion resulting its adoption. Yeas 30,

Fire and Death.
Philadelphia, October 13. Charles H.
Londerberger's mill, owned by Joseph
Harvey,' 1711 Randolph street, burned
to-night. The fire broke out about
!):45. The neighbors rushed to the
buildings and saw operatives at the
windows on the third and fourth floórs.
They called to the girls not to jump as
a ladder would be brought, but several
of the girls sprang from the windows.
llie shrieks oí the people in the build
ing where escape was cut off were
heartrending. Most of them jumped
to the sidewalk and a few escaped by
the elevator rope. It is believed that
half those injured will die. At least
twenty persons were injured. One girl
is reported killed outright by striking
on the steps. Some are thought to be
buried m the ruins, ihc tire is suppos
ed to have originated from sparks from
an electric light firing a lot of material
on the second floor.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The fire at Londerbesger'smill, last
night, originated in the finishing room
on the second floor and spread through
the building with amazing rapidity.
About forty-live hands, twelve of whom
were girls at work on this lloor, a ma
jority were engaged in tho
spinning and weaving departments on
the upper floor. Hie wooden stair
ways at either end of the building were
soon ablaze and the bridge connecting
the building with another mill was shut
off from approach by fire-proof doors
and in the absence of any lire escape a
panic ensued among men and women
confined in the building. They rushed
to the windows and appealed frantical
ly to the crowd below to save them. It
was proposod bv the crowd to form
squares in the street and catch the men
and girls as they leaped out but belore
anything could be done a young woman
leaped from the fifth story. It seemed
that every bone in her body was broken
for she never spoke or breathed after
striking the pavement. Alter this the
imprisoned people seemed to become
frenzied and though the crowd outside
sought to encourage them by shouting
that help would shortly be there, they
began jumping from the windows like
sheep. When the firemen were able to
enter the building they found, on the
third floor, tho bodies of two females
burned almost to a crisp and a man's
body badly scorched and dead, but be
fore they could search further the fourth
floor with its heavy machinery came
crashing through and they barely es
caped with their lives. The firemen
were compelled to desist from their la
bors because the floors had gone through
to the ground together with the ma
chinery and charred wood. What re
mained of the unfortunate operatives,
ten or twelve in number, were mingled
together in an unrecognizable mass
which was seething and sending out
columns of steam as cold water was
poured on it. The following is a list of
victims as far as can be ascertained
now : Dead Annie Brady, Mary Kel
ly, Henry Morgan, an unknown girl
who died at the hospital, two un
known girls aged about thirteen and
eighteen respectively and an unknown
German were dead at the morgue.
t Kokomo Conflagration.
Kokomo, Colorado, October 13. At
about half past six this evening a fire
started in the lamp room of the Sum
mit House caused by the explosion ot
coal oil lamp. The flames spread with
great rapidity until at about 10 o'clock
not one building oí Mam street and the
business portion of Kokomo remained
standing. About eighty lamines are

New York, October 13. Patrick Ford

Leagues of America anent the arrest of
Parncll in which he says : Irishmen

Never did the Land League have a bet
