French troops occupy the forts at
Hue, and on the river seven gun

the safety of its forces there.

Incendiary Fire.

New York. Cat Z o'clock this
morning q fire was discovered at
the Standard theatre, between Sixth
avenue and Thirty-secOnd street,
one of the most popular uptown
places of amusement. Three alarms
were sent out. The fire department
res pended promptly. The fire spread
rapidly, and by the time the firemen
got to work the flames burst through
The roof. The upper part Of the city
was illuminated, attracting an i'm
mense throng When the fire broke
out no one was in the theatre
but a few stage hands and a
young actress rehearsing her
parts. They had no difficulty in
escaping The alarm was first
raised by the stage hands, who say
tn y noticed a smoke over the gas
jet between the drop curtain and
the dies. Fhe alarm sent from the
stage by the prOmpter and at the
same time p liceman outside of
tile tn atre saw he noticed smoke
coming out of the windows and he
sent out an alarm from the box on
the street He claims he ran into
The theat e, and according to his
version the firing was under the
stage and there was no indication OF
fire above. The two stories cannot
be recODciled and the origin of the
above two stories cannot be recon-
ciled and the origin of the fire is
still in doubt. AS soon as the flames
were discovered, the fire extinguish-
ers were called into requisition
and when confronted by Rudolpt>,
Aaronson, lessee of the theatre cons
fessed their guilt. His motive was
revenge for being discharged. He
made preparations with great care
with a lighted candle just as the
curtain rang up for the last act. It
was supposed the candle would burn
an hour before it reached the cOm>
bustibles. The opera of the "Beggar
Student" was being performed at
the Casino, which is said to be the
handSomest theatre in the country.
Ad audience of 1900 people was
present on Wednesday night. The
audience and members of the COM
pany had left the theatre
when the fire was discovered.
The flames spread with such aston
ishing rapidly that the whole
structure was total wreck within
an hour. A portion of the rear wall
in falling crushed in a wall of an
adjoining dwelling house, los West
Thirty-third street, causing a loss Of
5000 to the building and $1,000 tn
occupants The theatre building
was valued at $4,000, and the
scenery and stage properties at
$4,000, which is total loss. It is
said the property was insured for
nearly its full value. The theatre
is leased under the management Of
Brooks 81 Dickson.

American Pork.

Washington, 1.-THE State De-

tanning a synopsis of letter re-
Gently sent to Bismarck by the
Chamber of Commerce, Barmen,
protesting against the prohibition OF
the Importation of American pork.
The protest sets forth: First, that
American pork, On account OF its
wholesomeness and cheapness, en-
tiers largely into the diet OF the
working classes ami becomes an in
dispensable article of food. In spite
of the large and steady growing
consumption, not single case of
trichinosis has been brought to the
notice of the authorities; second,
the prohibition of the importation
Of American hog products will very
likely suggest to the United States
government the policy of reprisal.
If that government should impose a
prohibitory duty on German stock
ings and knit goods, it would infiict
upon German manufacturers loss
of nearly $5,OoO,00O per annum and
reduce whole communities to desti-
tuition. In view of these considera-
tons, the chamber submits the fol.
lowing petition to the imperial
chancellor: 1--WE most respectfully
petition your serene highness to in
tercede and interest yourself, that
the importation Of American pork
products be set free" Consul Scho-
enle says a petition similar to this
was sent to Bismarck and d number
of the chambers Of commerce in
various parts of the empire
