Mammoth Oil Tanks Set on Fire.
BRADFORD, Pa, August 2O.-Durlng heavy
storm at five pm. yesterday lightning struck
two 25,000 barrel iron tanks at Dallas city, six
miles northeast OF Bradford There are 50,ooO
barrels now burning. one tank belongs to the
United and the other to the TideWater Pipe
Line. Both companies have summoned force
OF men to the scene to dig trenches and prevent
the spread Of the fire. The village is not In
danger nor the other iron tanks In the vicinity.
A telegram to the Daily Era from Dallas at mid
night gives the opinion that the fire can be po,-
S1bly confined to the tanks now burning. The
tanks were not expected to overflow before SIX
O'Clock this morning and the spread or the fire
depends on the result Of the overflow. II dams
can be made and trenches dug Of breadth and
depth suf1icient to hold the inlamed Oil, the hre

tional property must be consumed. Being
very dark night, the spectacle was indeed ter

The Cabinet Meeting To-day.

The MATTER OF THE CHINESE VESSEL.
AT the Cabinet meeting this afternoon the
matter OF the Chinese vessel, which purposes
to come into San Francisco With a cargo OF ia
Waiian products and go into a dry dock for re-
pairs was UP. There are very heavy tonnage
dues and customs duties now levied against
Chinese and all alien bottoms No Chinese
trader hos as yet entered our ports, and there
has been no reason for removing the restrictions
against vessels from that country. The Secre-
ta1y or The Treasury expressed the opinion that
the President should by proclamation remove
the duties on the approaching Chinaman. our
treaty with China provides that American YES
sells trading with her shall be On a footing with
the most favored, but makes no provision for
Chinese vessels entering American ports, as 1t
was never supposed that one would. The At
torney General who Is also acting as Secretary
OF state, was not ready to express his opinion
as 10 the issuance OF the proclamation. The
matter was placed in his hands for investiga-
ton and decision. The consideration of the
question was postponed until next Tuesday.
All nations with which we have no commercial
treaties are like China, Aliens and liza Tie to the
same duties.
THE SIOUX QUESTION.
The dispatch received from General Hatch

The course to be pursued towards the Indians
