Twenty Leading Mcri-h.-i-its Burned Out and Several Society Halls, Insurance OtllcoM, Dwelling Houftes Gut ted -Excitement luteuse. Bath, Me., January 29.—One of the most disastrous fires iu the history of the city occnr -ed last night in the Sa gadahoek House stables. A large part of the business portion of the city was gutted, about twenty buildings being destroyed. The fire spread so rapidly that the department was wholly unable to cope with it. Calls for assistance were sent to Portland and Lewiston, and brought steamers and hand engines. The wat3r pipes were frozen or broken, an I it was some time before effective work could be done. The fire communicated to the hotel from the stables, and the house, which is the leading hostelry of the city, was quickly gutted. The adjoining build ings were soon in flames, and before the fire could be controlled half a mill ion dollars worth of property was de stroyed. The following were burned out, and are the heaviest losers: Sagadahock house. Lincoln National bank, A. Hallett & Co., druggists; J. O. Shaw, bookseller and stationer; J. A. Douglass, clothing; Marine National bank; I). T. Perry & Sons, dry goods, also their crockey store; A. M. Frank, cigar dealer; W. R. Stearns, book binder; J. A.

Several society halls, insurance and lawyers' and doctors' offices and dwelling houses wete also destroyed, while the Times Printing Company and a number of stores were damaged by water. Attempt at Effigy. Dpi.u’h, Minn., January 29.- —An at tempt has been made to burn Con gressman Baldwin in effigy for voting for the free iron ore schedule of the Wilson bill. A band of music made its appearance near the Merchants’ hotel and a youth appeared bearing a banner on which was painted a figure labeled “Baldwin,” with his neck en circled by a n ose. A procession pre ceded by the banner and band started west along Superior street. It had not proceeded far when a man jumped from the crowd on the sidewalk and grabbed the banner. As he caught hold of it some one landed a well di rected blow on the back of his head. He let go the banner and dropped to the ground. 'l'wo blocks farther west -evcral men rushed toward the head of ‘he procession, and one grabbed the banner, which was quickly torn into deceg. This created a lively riot for a .’ew minutes, but a squad of police quickly dispersed the crowd, while the youth who had been carrying the ban ner was taken in the patrol to police headquarters.

Authority to Issue Eo- ds Conferr ed Upon the Secretary iu 1675. AND IT EXISTS YET, EE SAYS. 'j- jJaltay, t lit* .'.u of tiio Ki-ieiuiion the S »• rvtnry, A What lie ( Lijii < and Wherein lie is Questioned. Nm.v York, January 29.- John G. Carli. le. secret try of t’.e treasury, is at the I’i t'i Ave 'U. hotel in this city, lie made public last night thefollow ing statement: ‘‘lt has been erron eously published in some newspapers that the committee of.the judiciary of the h mse of representatives had agreed to and reported a resolution denying the authority of the secretary of the treasury to issue and sell bonis as 1 reposed in his recent circular, and these publications have evidently made an unfavorable impreision upon the minds of some, who contemplated making bids for theseseeurities. “The only resolution in relation to this subject that has been before the committee is as follows : “Resolved, Th at it is the senseof the house of representatives that the sec retary of the treasury has no author ity, under existing laws, to issue and sell bonds of the United States, e <cept such as is conferred upon him by the act approved January 14, 1875, entitled ‘An act to provide for the resumption of specie payment.-,’ and that the money derived from the sale of bonds issued under that act cannot be law fully applied to any purpose except those specified therein. “It will be seen that these resolu tions assumed that the authority to issue bonds was conferred upon the secretary of the treasury by the act of January 14, 1875, and that such author ity still exists, but it asserts that the proceeds of the bonds cannot be law fully used except for the purpose of redemption of treasury notes. His Authority Not Questioned. “The official stenographic reports of the proceedings in the committee, when the secretary of the treasury ap peared before it last Thursday, shows that his authority to issue bonds was not questioned by any member, the only question being whether he could use the proceeds for any other purpose than the redemption of United States notes. Mr. Bailey, the author of the resolution, distinctly admitted the ex istence of the authority. “Addressing the secretary, Mr. Bai ley said: ‘The resolution does not im peach your right to issue bonds; it expressly recognizes it, but questions the right to apply the proceeds to any purpose except those specified in the acL’ “The judiciary comini 1 tee of the house examined and reported upon this same question during the Fifty second congress, and it then conceded that the authority existed under the act of 1875. The question as to the au thority of the secretary of the treasury to use the money in any particular manner, or for any particular purpose, is wholly distinct from the question as to his authority to issue and sell bonds. No matter what he may do with the money, the validity of the bonds will not be affected, and then* is, therefore, no reason why any on 2 should hesitate to invest in these securities on the grounds that the proceeds might be possibly used for other than redemp tion purposes.” Mr. Carlisle would say nothing fur ther on the subject. He stated that his only purpose in issuing this statement was to rectify errors of recently pub lished reports regarding the issuance of bonds. Mr. Carlisle wiU leave this city this evening. Ha Returned to Claim His Own. Springfield, 0., January 29.—H. C Paige, a member of a well-known fam ily and an heir to a fortune of 825,000, has returned to this city after having been missing for twenty years. Four teen years ago his mother died, leaving him SIO,OOO of her estate, which was placed to his credit in the First National bank. As year after year passed and he did not return, his relatives gave him up as dead. Some of the family con lection urged a division of the inheri tance, but it was not made. The princi pal—slo,ooo—has been drawing interest • •ver since, and now it approaches quite close to $25,000, which Mr. Paige has taken possession of. Since his disap pearance he has been for most of the time located in Denature, Illinois. Destructive Flames in St. Louis.

TO CLOSE THURSDAY, Tha Great Tariff Debate in thel Lower House of Corqresa. VOTE ON PASSAGE THEN TAKEN. Today and Tomorrow On General Debate, and Wednesday Under the Five- Minute Rule —Oi her Con gressional Forecasts. Washington, January 29.—The great tariff debate will close in the bouse on next Thursday at 3 o'clock, when, ac cording to the special order under winch the house is operating, the vote will be taken on the pending amend ments and the final passage of the bill. '1 he debate during the coming week will relate entirely to the internal rev enue bih, which the democratic caucus decided to place upon the tariff bill as a rider. Tomorrow and Tuesday will be de voted to general debate, and Wednes day to debate under the five-minute rule, when the internal revenue feat ures will be open to amendments. Os course the principal opposition will be directed against the income tax, which is being bitterly opposed by the eastern democrats. The republicans, however, will not vote with the democrat opponents of the income tax, but will either refrain from voting or else, if necessary, to make a quorum, vote for it in order to incorporate it in the bill. An attempt to defeat it will, therefore, be hopeless. U hen the bill is reported to the house on Thursday three hours will be al lowed for closing the debate, one and a half hours on a side. Mr. Heed will close for the republi cans and Mr. Wilson and Speaker Crisp for the democrats. The indications are that when the bill is placed upon its final passage that it will have a fail margin to carry it. During the past week, the movement to recommit the bill looked formidable, as Ht least fifty democrats, (counting the anti-income tax advocates) includ ing all those dissatisfied with any por tion of the measure, were counted upon to take this indirect method of compelling changes in their interest. With the re publican support, this plan might have succeeded, but on yesterday some of the republican leaders talked the situation over and came to the conclusion that it ould not be politic to join a faction or. the democratic ranks in order to give the bill a back-set, which might not re sult in its ultimate defeat. They have informally decided, therefore, either to refrain from voting or else to vote against the motion to recommit, bus they will vote with the opposition against the passage of the bill, or for .* motion to strike out the enacting clause, which motion will place the op ponents of the bill fairly and squarely on record against the entire measure. This decision, if it is adhered to. in th< opinion of the democratic leaders, re moves all doubt as to th" final passage of the bill, as they believe that not more than thirty democrats at tiie out side will carry their opposition to the extent of voting direct against the bill If the republicans should poll theii .whole strength, (124) this would only raise the vote against the bill to 151. iu with the income tax included it is be lieved that the bill will command tie entire populist vote of nine. The full vote for the bill, therefore, could be 200, a majority of 40. It is fair to as sume that the absentees will be drawn proportionately’ from each side, so that from present indications the democratic leaders claim a majority’ for the bill of from 30 upwards. If by any change of program, the republicans should decide to vote in favor of the motion to recom mit, the additional strength gainesl from the democratic side (about twenty) might seriously endanger, if not defeat, the measure. But this is not now an ticipated. After the tariff is disposed of on Thursday, a special order will be brought in for the consideration of the Hawaiian matter Friday or Saturday. The McCreary resolution will form the basis of the debate, and while some very lively and picturesque speeches will probably be made, it is expected that it will be passed practically by a strict party vote.
