reciprocity treaty had been signed and sent
to the Senate, the American commissioners
desired to amend it by adding number of

women fell down stairs and some persons
cried "Firel" The women screamed and
struggled to get out. The employees of the
store tried to stop the panic. The store has
thirty-six exits, and it was emptied in a
minute and half, and the crowd was in the
street unharmed. An alarm of fire brought
the engines, which were met by the police
