fBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.J
NEW York, August 22.-Fire broke out
shortly after IL O'Clock this morning in the
packing-shop Of the Empire Oil-Works.
Long Island City. The shop was brick
structure $50 feet by 200 feet. over one
hundred men and bows were employed IN
the shop, and the widest excitement pre-
vailed among them. The flames spread
rapidly, and the shop was soon seethlng
mass OF flames, with which the local fire
department was totally unable TO cope. The
tin-shop, a building l75 by 250 feet, next
caught fire, and was followed by the barrel
shop, about the same size. The flames
next spread to one OF the largest agita-
tors in the yard, containing $4,000 barrels
OF oil. The Brooklyn Fire Department
was called on for aid, and several engines
quickly responded. but although they
worked hard the flames spread in every
direction. The Howe lard-oi works are
In great danger. The damage already
done is estimated at 100000. Patrick
CoOney, a workman, was very badly burn
ed, and three other workmen were also
injured severely. James Clare was badly
injured by falling wall. The fire Is be-
licved 10 have been caused by workman
accidentally dropping hot soldering-iron
into an oil-caD.
The fire burned fercely throughout the
afternoon, and was not subdued until 8
O'Clock. The efforts OF the bremen pre-.
vented the flames from spreading beyond
the buildings occupied by the company on
whose premises the fire broke out. The
damage is yariously estimated at from
100000 to 100000. There was no In
surance. When the fire broke out there
were several vessels at the company's
docks. Some OF them were loaded with
oil. Fortunately two tug.boats were near
u hand, and the vessels were towed out OF
danger.

LONDON, August 22.-The Times CORE
spondent at st. Petersburg In his dispatch
referring to the expulsion from It. Peters
burg OF an American jew, in accordance
with the law forbidding Jews to live in
that city. says II is not likely that the Rus
sian officials have been overstrict in such
cases in view OF the repeated protests by
the British and American Governments in
regard TO the treatment OF the Jews.
The jew who was expelled declined to
ask the project rs n favor to allow him TO
remain until he had transacted his busi-
ness. as he could not demand such treat
ment rs right. The correspondent adds
that as the jewish difficulty IS more OF an
economical than a religious one, there Is
little prospect OF the removal OF the pro-
hibition against Jews living at ST. Peters
burg and Moscow. The thousands OF Jews
who do live in both places either belong
to the privileged class or skiliully evade
