Talk About the French Panic-The South
western Roads-Rumored Shipments of
Gold.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Wall street reports
state that it is argu ed that, as the full conima
ton of the reported failure OF the Union Gem
eraIe ala not arrive until after o'clock yes
be experienced until to-day. The seftfoments
at Paris will not be completed until February
6, during which time the condition of affairs
at London and at Paris will be unsettled to an
extent sufficient to cause series of shocks in
the market here. It is predicted that further
Withdrawals of gold will be made from the
Bank of England, and an advance in the bank
rate to per cent. tomorrow; that shipments
of gold will be made by the. Bothnia on We'd
nesday, and continued sales of stock for for
eign account. The best informed foreign
houses declined to express any opinion as to
effect of the failure of the Union Generate.
Surprise was expressed that it should have
failed after so much money had been raised in
its behalf. Failure, under such circumstances
was considered evidence that the institution
must have been very rotten, and likely, there
fore, to cause widespread suffering. On the
other hand, bankers of this city, who were in
Paris last summer, say that conservative
houses then predicted the speedy fall OF the
Union Generate, and they think, therefore,
that the failure of the concern will cause more
individual suffering than financial disturbance:
Some of the Vanderbilt houses and some OF
the Gould following thought last night that
the troubles abroad had been fully discounted,
and that stocks would be great purchase If
prices ran off to-day. The buying OF Denver
yesterday afternoon steadied the entire market.
Indications pointed to large purchases for Bos-
ton account. A prominent Broadway house
thought that Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, or
Burlington & QaincY people were buying.
Some buying orders for foreign account were
executed. 1t is reported that Union Pacific
and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe have made
an important traffic agreement.
Important negotiations affecting Western
Union and the Vanderbilt stocks are pending.
1t is reported that one banking house will
ship tomorrow $1,500,000 in gold, another
$4,000, 900, and another 81 800, 600 on Saturday

The Proposed Tariff Commission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The House COM

mended that the bill be favorably reported to

ing building. The great structure was honey
combed with business offices on every floor and
held probably 100 tenants. The top floors OF
the burned buildings were occupied by various
manufacturers and by weekly newspapers,
which employed women as compositors. A
woman and two men are said to have been
seen at window on Nassau street and then to
disappear in the flames.
1t is said that several men and women were
compelled to leap from the windows on Nassau
from the third story window on the Park Row
side, where there were two men hanging from
the window sills by their hands, The ladders
were TOO short to reach them and they were
saved by firemen mounting on one anotnerS
shoulders until the men could drop into their
arms. The woman leaped for the ladder and
striking it was turned around, and rolling upon
a canvas which the firemen we're holding went
clear through it and struck on the side OF her
head.
A DEATH TRAP.
The loss in money will exceed million dol
lars. None of the property in the building was
saved. There was only one way OF escaping
by crooked stairs. The building was the pro
perty of o. B. Potter, president of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, and was insured
for large amount. 1t was old and was filled
with wooden kpartitions and the stairs were
dry as tinder. The building for years has been
looked upon by the fremen with peculiar ap-

condition for a conhagration Two entrances
led into the building-in the middle of it one
from Nassau street, the other from Park Row.
On Beekman street there was none. Recently
an elevator was put in at the Nassau street en-
trance. 1t was in its shaft that the first out
break of fire took place on the ground floor.
What caused ii is matter of conjecture.
THE LOSS OF LIFE.
Extras of the afternoon papers mention
rumors of the loss of fifteen lives, but it is i'm
possible to ascertain anything which iustities
this estimate, though the rapid progress OF the
flames on the lower floors may well have sur
prised number of employees in the upper offi-
ces.
Two mon and colored woman were taken
to the Chambers street hospital. The woman
was a ianitress and died shortly afterwards.
One of the two men who jumped from the
building and are now at the hospital, is Richard
S. Tracy, aged 40, printer. he sustained a
fracture of the thigh, lacerated wounds of the
face and internal injuries. The other is
Robert Bowie, aged So, a printer. 1t is thought
their injuries are fatal.
Among the persons reported missing and
supposed to have lost their lives at the fire are
A. j. Todd, patent lawyer whose office was
in the building, and his clerk, James Hunter.

Senator Hale's Tribute to General
Burnside.

On the formal announcement of the death Of
General Burnside in the Senate, Mr.. Hale of
Maine spoke briefly, as follows:
Since General Burnside came into the Sem
ate, il has been my good fortune to know him
well and to see much of him, and desire to
say few words IN token of the regard which 1
felt for him living, and the tender memory
which bear for him now that he is gone.
That memory recalls him as a man who, ont
of years of activity and sometimes of awful con
fiict brought nature of exceeding purity and
sweetness.
His education was a military one In his
youth he took part in the war of conquest
which the Republic waged against Mexico,
His active participation in our last and great
est of wars is a part of the history of the
country. He was brought face to face with
suffering and pain and death, and must have
learned TO look ubon these as everyday Incl
dents. lie beheld, as near spectator, the
most tremendous European conflict of the CEN
tury. But war never roughened nor hardened
him.
Some of US who never knew him until the
long ease which peace brings after war had set
in found him intrepid and fearless, it is true,
as B1nya1is Great-heart,- but magnanimous,
gentle, and tender the bIarnefess king at the
head of the Round Table. Nor did Changed
fortune or hard fate have power to warp his
spirit.
In the great war of the rebellion he command
ed our first happy and successful expedition,
ana later ms name was associated with an
army corps whose fortunes he led, sometimes
TO the height Of victory, sometimes into the
sad valleys of defeat His command of our
greatest army was not fortunate, and the fact
that il was imposed on him with no willing
consent on his part, and that events compelled
him to lay it down after great disaster, might
have emhittered less generous nature. In
General Burnside's heart no room was ever
found for bitterness, or jealousy,o or envy. "An
unexhausted kindliness glowed like sunlight
there
Side by side with this softer part of character
his Strength of Spirit always asserted itself.
and made him the most manly and fearless of
men. Time and again / have seen him endure
a test more to be dreaded by sensitive nature
than the facing of armed men or the fire of
converging batteries, the standing alone and
maintaining the cause of an absent and unpop-
ular friend when elamorous voices told him too
plainly how absolutely he was alone. On such
field General Burnside would not even draw
off into the refuge of silence,
He was friend worth having and it will be
long before men will cease to sigh or women to
weep because they Ego their ways without
him."

LATER.
The Ruins Ablaze at Midnight-No Search
for the Missing Yet Possible.

At II O'Clock tonight the engines were still
playing on the ruins, which burned brightly
despite the fremen's efforts. The side
of the building on Beekman and Mas
sau street has been demolished, completely
obstructing both streets with brick and debris.
The front of the old Evening Mail building
was scorched and blackened and did not con-
tain sound pane of glass. The front OF the
Morse building was badly damaged by falling
walls. The flames can hardly be extinguished
until morning and it will be late in the after
noon before the ruins can be sufficiently cooled
to allow search for the missing.
The damage to the Times establishment will
not exceed $1,000 or $4,000. The building was
saved and the spread of the fire arrested by the
fire proof structure of the walls. When it
seemed impossible to save the Times from Sc
rious damage. Offers of hospitality and aid in
getting out paper were sent from several neigh
boring establishments.
New YORK, Feb 1.-The total losses cannot
yet be given definitely. At O'Clock the fire
was still burning and the firemen will continue
to pour water on the ruins all night and proba-
bly, the greater portion of today.
