MONDAY, DKCEMBKK 31. 1834.
It U about time for tlie steal and only
Paratnount Blount to emerge from ob
scurity and say something about Hawaii.
In view of Admiral Walker's report, the
Administration will almost, feel bound in
self-defence to call on Blount for aid and
comfort. The whereabouts of tho Pura
mount one are unknown, hut UN possible
that n senrclilnt; party properly organized
and equipped might discover Mm In the
obecifrity in which he began to sink
almost the moment he returned to this
country after his remarkable mission in
the I'a;lflc.
Stoisiks were recently put forward In
Rome public prints to the effect that the
victorious Japanese troops at Port Arthur
had relapsed Into barbarism, and had
wautouly outraged, tortured and slaugh
tered tbe helpless non-combatant Inhabl
tanta of that town. It was said that the
Japanese had fallen to tbe level of Chi
nese brutality, that tbe war teemed to be
degenerating Into a struggle between Bar
ages, and that the foreign correspondents
at Port Arthur, though inured to all the
ordinary evils of war, had fled In horror
from tbe awful fcene. Tuete storie bore
upon their face tbe brand of reckless sen
sationalism, and were, from the first,
largely discredited by men of voher judg
ment. Lapse of time lias brought no con
firmminn of them, bit', only cumulative
disproof, until now, in general and iu par
ticulur, they are shown to have been ho
untrue that to call them wild exaggera
tions would be gross flattery.
Ski, lion have two strangers, coming
hither together, from the sumo place and
Dominnlly on the same vision, presented
a more -trlkiug and Instructive contrast
th.in have Messrs. John Bums and David
Holmes, the delegates from the trades
uni ins nf England 10 the recent conven
tion if theAmerhu.i Federation of Lrbor
at Denver. It will be remembered that
when they landed here Mr. Burns was re
garded as by ai the mora Important. He
it was ,vho win Interviewed, whose por
trait adorned the public prints, whose
going and c linings weru chronicled as
the chlet news of the day. The two have
now been iu this country three weeks,
an 1 havH discharge 1 the formal duty on
wliioa they came. It Is now possible,
with some degree of jus mess and accuracy,
to sura up their work in America, and to
estimate their worth as leaders of social
and industrial affairs. Mr, Burns, after
enjoying much consplouousness in Xew
York and elsewhere, went to the Denver
convention to which he was accredited,
and made a speech or two. He hnd little
to say of trades-unionism or of the prac
tical Interests of the workingman, but
m ich nf political agitation and Socialism.
H urged upon the convention the adop
tion of a Socialistic and revolutionary
p at firm. He made a speech to the
geiier.tl public, In which he railed against
the m-rimi trovernuient and American
Institutions RPtierally, and grossly in
sulted the people whose guest he was.
Thn, when the convention sensibly re
jc'tvl 'he Socl illstic platform by an over
whelming majority, he shook the dust of
Dinv.ir from his feet and wentnwiy to
discover other "picket editions of hell"
to quote his own chaste phrase. So much
for Mr Burns. Ills real mission here was
to preach Socialism, and his character, as
dlsuloswl by bis words and acts, seems to
be 'hit if a mstn'crless, conceited,
shifty p-'ltlcil Hltilnr. Mr. Holmes
va less in evldenuj while In New
Yorlt, Chicago and elsewhere. At
D nv-rhe did not Indulge In so many
rhetorVil pyrotechnic In the convention
or belore the general public. He seemed
to remember that be hud coma as a dele
gate, not iw a drum major. He devoted
himself in iu legitimate work of the con
vention, modus.) but very tffectlvely. He
opposed all Socialistic and revolutionary
-schomes, and uiged tbe Federation to
have regard for the Interests of labor In
the promotion of true tradeiuulonlsig,
like .kxt of England, which has done
wore to Improve the condition of work
lngmeu than any other such organization
in the world. 11 stayed la bis place until
the end of tbe convention, and just before
the final adjournment made a brief speech
which contained more good taste and
sound sense than nil the rodomontade his
colleague has emitted from Sandy Hook
to the Kocky Mountains. "I hope," he
said in conclusion, "that since my arrival
upon your shores I have said nothing
calculated to wound the sensibilities of
the American people; and I also hope
that I may not be held responsible for
anything which may have been said out
side of trades unionism." The answer of
the convention and of the American pub-
llo to that hope Is not uncertain. They
recognize in Mr. Holmes a man who came
hither on a legitimate and honorable
errand, and who discharged thnt errand
faithfully and well; a man of sterling
worth, whom it Is a pleasure and a profit
to have entertained, and who will go back
to England with tbe cordial respect of
every right-thinking American.

Holiday trade has metoxpectations. Pur
chases liavo boon numerous, but smaller
than usual in amount aud moro confined
to needful articles, thus anticipating or
dinary trado.
Bradstreots" says: General trado pre
sents tho usual holiday characteristics. A
majority of wholesale dealors und manu
facturers are, beginning or have finished
taking acdnint of stock or arranging set
tlements for the nuw yoar. Tho main ac
tivity has been for Christmas specialties
in retail lines. Tho practical conclusion
of holiday trado has brought about a mod
ta.ite reaction, and this emphasizes tho
dullness noted In preceding weeks. Job
bers claim tho outlook for trado during
the late winter and early spring is for very
conservative buying. But in Mime lines,
notably heavy textiles, the recent cold
weather has stimulated sales and reports
from retailers west and south Indicate
that stocks aro low almost beyond pre
cedent. Minister Donliy Has Mnilo No Demand.
Washington, Dec. 2!). United States
Min'ster Denliy has mndonodeimmdupon

at Washington had promised that their
case should bo kept In uboyanco until Mr.
Denliy arrived on the sceno. No aiuwer

ALBANT, Deo. 81. Tho candidacy of the
sovoral nion for speaker of the asscmhly
received a startllnp; baptism of flro here
last night, for tho Dolovan House, that
famous hostelry known from Mnlno to
California, the ineccn of politicians and
tho center of all big stalo political events
for forty yours, vvn-s completely d'-stroyed.
Flro Btioh as that of last night haj seldom
boon seen.
It wa 8:1)0 o'clock, nnd tho politlca.
headquarters of both Mr. Fish and Mr
Jlalby wore llllod with politicians and
nowspapor men. Tho outburst of flames
boforo an alarm could bo given to urous.i
tho InmatoH of tho rooms was something
appalling. Up tho elevator shaft thore
snot a solid column of flumes, while up
tho staircase near this perfect fluo shot an
other column As tho mass reached each
of tho flvo ors It branched out into
tongues of leaping destruction, and It
seemed as though tho wholo Interior of the
structure was a seething mass.
Jiortunatoiy tho list of guests was not
very largo, and tho majority of thoso rog
istercd were politicians and wero down on
tho second lloor, whoro Mr. Fish aud Mr.
Mnlhy had headquarters. Thoro wns a
rush for tho stairs In tho front and tho ser
vants' stairs In tho back, where tho ilames
had not yet reached, and in a fow minutes
thero was n tumbling mass of humanity
coming down thoso fow means of ogress.
Thoso on tho two upper floors could not
nvnll themselves of theso exits, for tho
flames wero rushing along tho corridors,
nnd peoplo on tho street, who had not yet
socn tho flames, heard a crash of glass nnd
saw figures como tumbling out of tho win
dows. Within ton minutes after tho first
alarm at lpast twelvo persons were dang
ling on tho insuluclcnt ropo flro escape or
hanging on to window sills.
Tho department arrived quickly, but it
took soino tlmo to get ladders up, and in
tho mcnntlmo some of tho pooplo had
dropped to tho street. On tho right sldo
of tho building thoro appeared at a win
dow Burroundcd by smoko n man nnd a
woman. Tho man hod hold of tho woman,
trying to persuado hor to wait for help,
but sho broko away and sprang out. Shu
struck a balcony nnd robounded to tho
street. Tho man waited for a ladder and
was taken down In safety. Ills namo
was II. A. Foakos, and ho represented n
cash register company In Dayton, O. Tho
woman was his wifo, and will probably die.
In ox-hpoaker Malby's room, which was
to tho rear of tho elevator shaft where tho
flro first appeared, thero was tho greatest
excitement. Alxmt twenty politicians
wero thero. Including Congressmen Cur
tis and Weaver, Seuntor Kilbum and Mr,
Mnlby. A rush was mado for the stairs
nnd when tho party landed In tho street
tho only 01 - Injured was found to bo As
semblyman Itobblns, whoso hair and faco
were badly burned.
In Mr Fish a headquarters thero was
less hurry, becauso tlioy wero near tho
stairs. All got down safely, but tho ma
jority left their baggage. K. A. Manches
tor, of Auburn, postmastor of tho assem
bly, camo towards tho baggago room for
his grip. Hoturnlng ho found his way
blockcil with names anil sniuke,aud rushed
back to a window. Ho smashed It out and
slid down tho rope flro oscapo. Although
flvo stories high, thero wero no outsldo flro
escapes, and tho only menus left for tho
peoplo in tho cut off rooms was to uso tho
rope lire escapes.
lien Iloilman, of Brooklyn, was In tho
third story. Ho opened his room door as
soon ns ho hoard tho cry of flro. A burst
of llanio mado him look to tho window as
tho means of escape. In an instant ho had
but. two alternatives a flery death or ft
jump, llo choso tho latter and plunged
through tho window. When picked up
Irom tho sidcwaiK ho win round to bo
badly Injured. Ho will dlo. Ills wife,
who was In tho room with him, tried tho
flro escape, but it cithor broke or clso sho
failed to hold to It, for she, too, camo to tho
pavomont heavily Her right leg was
broken, her left auklu dislocated and sho
was badly burned about tho faco and
head.
Kdward Walsh, a porter, was caught In
tho hall. Heforo ho could get out ho was
badly burned and had to bo takou to tho
hospital.
Ono of tho incidents of tho flro was tho
escape of Miss Martin, of Now York. Sho
was In tho fourth story window on tho
Steuben stroet sldo when a laddor was
raised. A messenger boy rushed up and
uroko tlio window, thus frcolng hor.
Of tho ono hundred or moro guests at
tho hotel not ono Is known to havo saved
moro than tho clothes on their person.
At 10:80 the east walls fell In, and soino
of tho flromen narrowly escaped being
burled. At 11:80 tho Broadway wall foil
out, aud ono of tho ilroman was burled In
tho debris. Ilo was taken out, and Is not
thought to bo dangorously hurt.
Mr. aud Mrs. Bradley Martin, Brndloy
Mnrtlu, Jr., and Mrs. F. T. Martin woro
guests nt tho hotel, having como hero tp
bury their son, hhermun. Mr. Martin,
when ho reached tho sldowalk, offered
anybody 1300 who would got his wife's
jewels. No ono accepted, and they woro
destroyed, Thero was a satchel filled with
jewols valued at fo,000.
There aro rumors thnt thero aro bodies
in tho ruins, and that quite a number of
people did not oscapo, Tho clerk says that
ho Is posltlvo all tho guosts escaped, but
docs not feel so sure of tho servants, of
which there wero a great number. It will
take a day uro to dotormlno.
Tho department, with nino streams of
water pouring Into tho building, could do
absolutely nothing at all to stop tho on
slaught of tho flames, nnd tho only work
was to snvu surrounding property. Tho
llro burned Uercely for six hours,
Tho Dolovan Houso is fifty years old,
and is ono of tho most famous hotels in
tho country. It Is a part of tho estate of
Edward C. Dclovau. Tho proprietors paid
