frorched and bleeding victims were
wrapped In blankets soaked In oil. The
floor of tho ctigiuo houso was coured with
writhing human fbrills sd dlsflgtiretl by tlio
flro as to bo unrecognizable. As fast ii
possible they were taken to tho hospital or
to their homos and so rapidly was the work
done that by nine o'ekek every one had
been taken out and carrltd away.

the men wero lu such close proximity to the

an expeditious matter. In two hours all

On one point there seems to be a pretty

that Major Walker however excellent

of superintendent lit police. Prior
to the decision members ot Congress gen-

verdict but life retltemeittot Major Walker
seems to have appeased Congressional
wrath and members are now appamitly
willing to let the matter drop. Colonel

according to the Star last eveiiltnr Is au-
thority for the statement that tha President
lias lest no sleep on account of the pollco
muddle. This remark was not intended
however to convey the Ini. rcsslon that thn

but rattier that he did not feel Inclined

lhat during the post year operation at the;
tea coast and lake frontier defenses lmvo
been restricted to Ihoto necessary for tho
preservation and repair ot existing works.
Tho subject of the defentite system of thu
country so far M regards tbe ports at which
fortifications or other defenses are most ur-
gently required is sufficiently treated In
tho elaborate report made to Congress by
the Fortification Hoard showing the utterly
defenseless condition of ottr sea coasts and
lako frontier. General Duano expresses
the belief that the failure of Congress to
make appropriations for this nil-Important
work has mainly arisen from the dlfllcnlly
In determining the best mrthod ot procur-
ing armor plain. Ho says the prepatatlon
Ot sites the construction of masonry foun-
dations Iho building of mortar batteries
and work equally as necessary as that ot
procuring srniof will demand much mooey
and It Is earnestly recommended that fundi
be at onco appropriated for tho emplace-
ment ot turrets and casements for rifled
batteries for twelve Inch rifled Mortars and
for submarine mines all of which can bo
accomplished before armor plate will be re-
quired. The estimates submitted aggregat-
ing 51043000 are based on the present de-
fensive system ot our sea coast The
amount estimated as necessary for the pres-
ervation and repair ot fortifications being
rtonlred lo rtovenl such modern batteries
as we now hare from going to ruin and to
maintain old work many of which can now
be considered as relics ot si historic past
Attention Is called to the estimates for torpe-
does. Fc the present II Is said our principal
reliance for harbor defense In case otwar
must rest upon Dxo(l mines and It Is very
necessary that there should bo a fnll supply
vt these on hand at tho principal sea ports
of the Nation. Owing to the failure of
Congress to make appropriations either for
fortifications or torpedoes fur the present
fiscal year It has become necessary not
only to suspend torpedo experiments bul
also to a great extent ths practical Instruc-
tion of the engineer corps In the details of

propriations made for the year 1884 and In
many instances these being sufficient only
to provide for tbo care ot public property
appertaining to the works operations were
necessarily suspended to the detriment ol
