through the WOO en- walls OF the basement,
and 731 was soon wrapped in fia.@-e s which
developed the adjoining buildings, and the
sleepers were smothered in heir beds. The
flames followed rapidly after and burned
the bodies to a crisp. John Raleigh, wife
and four little children occupied the first
foor OF 1913. Raleigh was awakened by his
wife, whom he rescued by throwing her
from the window. Being unable to do so

them in his arms. Several others had mar
row escapes by jumping through the win
dows. The tire is thought to be ~incendiary,

tary of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The following self
explanatory correspondence is made public
this evening",
WASHINGTON, May 80, 1ss6.-Ny Dear
Sir: l have decided to place in your hands
my resignation OF the office which you did
me the honor to ask me to accept fifteen
months ago. Ny reasons for this decision
are both public and personal, since the par
tial recovery OF my health has permitted
me to reflect upon the demands OF the
public service, to which l had given-per-
conditions OF resuming my labors at your
side, l have not for a moment questioned
what must be my present diet. A
full recovery OF my health is pro-
nounced to lie an affair OF weeks and
q longer period OF rest, especially during
the hot months is prescribed, or at least
advised as prudent regimen. Therefore in
compliance with this advice it would not
be practicable were l to resume 10Y the
general direction OF the Treasury Depart
ment, even if abating something of the
energy which it seemed needful for me to
expend in the first year OF my work, my
supervision at a distance would ne more OF
a hindrance than a help to the Acting
Secretary. But it is not b%etitting that a
department Of the Government so difficult
and so important should be administered
by a convalescent.
Its daily exactions or that watchful con-
troll Of it's influence or the d.
rection OF its fiscal policies, even under
your wise lead should not be attempted by
anyone concerned about outstanding his
strength. The reforms in our fiscal policy
which you nave maintained and which
have been framed and commended to the
wisdom Of the legislative branch, are re-
forms necessary to our safety, binding in
honor, obligatory to the traditions OF the
Democracy and set down as promises in
our stub books.
Our present tariff laws are a needless or
preston instead Of an easy burden. Our
