TENEMENT HOUSE FIRES.
Four Severely Burned and Many Mar
rowly Escaped Death.

-Four Severely Burned and Many Mar
rowly Escaped Death
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Fires apparently of
incendiary origin started in six different
Localities in Brooklyn last night and early
this morning, resulted in the injury of
several persons and the arrest of two men
on suspicion Of being the incendiares. Two
OF the fires were started in the Gel
lars OF crowded tenement houses and in
the last one, three of the occupants were
severely burned IN making their escape
Their names arc Mary Moore aged nineteen
years; John Schmidt, aged nineteen months
and Amos and Ann Reilly, aged two years.
The aggregate loss was small as the fires
were promptly extinguished. The oc-
cupants OF the tenanted houses in
most cases narrowly escaped death.
Rushes were made to the windows in frantic
efforts to get out, and many threw them
selves over the iron railing of the fire es-
capes, where they hung until rescued by
the tremen. A baby Of Annie Reilly, six
months old, was SO badly burned that it
will probably die. Several of the tenants
who were aroused from their beds by the
alarm became dazed and CROPPED their way
through the smoke-filled corridors, from
which they were taken out by the rescuers'
one fireman was overcome by smoke and
removed to the hospital.

LISTENED TO INSTRUCTIONS.

Four Thousand Chicago Carpenters Hold
a Mass Meeting.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Nearly four Thousand
union carpenters held mass meeting in
Battery D armory to-day and listened to
the instructions of the carpenters coun-
Gil relative to the strike which
begins tomorrow. The assertion
of the master builders to the
effect that scarcely 1 200 men would follow
the leaders and quit work looked rather
dubious in view of the attendance at the
meeting. The stlike is to enforce
raise IL. wages promised bv the
new bosses association some few
months ago. Throughout the proceedings
every allusion made to the strike and the
determ1natlon to go out was met with pro-
longed ringing cheers. President James
O,Connell, OF the carpenters council asked
mat every man belonging to the
carpenters, unions report at their re-
spectlVe meeting places on Tuesday
morning. There was some misapprehen-
sion felt he said, that the men working for
bosses who were living up to the agree aent
We're to be forced to remain idle This was
not the case. 1t was desired that every
carpenter should report and if it was
found that the union scale was being paid
the men would be allowed to return to
work. Before adjournment the following
Telegram was read from representative Of
the council who visited the general head
quarters OF the carpenters in PHILADELPHIA:
The general executive board sanctions the
action and promise the support of the en-
tire United Brotherhood"

FRANCE WORRIED.
Our Tariff Dispute, the Chic
Topic of Discussion in
French Papers.
No German Industries to be.
Moved to this Country
on Its Account.

LONDON Ang. 31.-The chief topic Of dis
cussion in the French press continues to be
the tariff dispute with America. The articles
show a great variety OF opinion as to the
proper course to be pursued by the govern
lnent.. Some of the writers advocate bold
policy Of self protection regardless Of posi-
bic retaliation by the United States, while
others betray an almost ludicrous terror
lest France should lose the American Gus
tom for some of her most important prod
ucts These latter beseech the government
not to do anything to anger the Washing
ton government. Among the former class
of journals is La Liberte, which says chat
the resolution in the American senate,
authorizing the president to exclude the
products of any country that discriminates
against American products, is nonsense, as
America could never do without French
wines, and the best classes in the United
States would protest against being deprived
OF that and other luxuries and necessaries
supplied by France. The whole topic is
burning one for French producers. The
English merchandise marks act has greatly
injured French trade with Great Britain, as
French goods can notlonger be sold as Eng
lish manufacture, and the American tariff
bill has put the French in a still unhappier
frame of mind "
AN UNCORROBORATED STATEMENT
The statement recently gained circulation
that some manufacturers in Germany who
have hitherto been largely engaged in pro-
ducing goods for the United States market
were making arrangements to transfer their
works to the latter country on account of
the increased duty on such goods by the
pending Mckinley tariff bill. A Berlin
correspondent states that he has been at
some pains to search for the facts and has
failed to discover any confederation of the
rumor. The senior member of one of the
firms whose names have been mentioned as
among the probable emigrants told the
writer that there was no truth in the report
to Tar as that firm was concerned, and he
believed that exceedingly few, if any. other
firms would transfer their business to
America for the cause mentioned He con.
sidered it unsafe to take such an important
step in the absence of any guarantee that
the high duties now adopted would be
maintained beyond the two years time
which remained of the present administra-
ton. The same report included state
ment that certain English manufacturers of
linen and other goods were also contem-
Djligent inquiry thus far has failed to un-
earth any such firms in England. The
large investments of English capital in the
United States during recent years, it is
worthy Of note, have been mainly in lines
ofindustry which, like brewing, are nearly
if not quite independent Of tariff fuctua-
tions.

BRAZIL WILL RECIPROCATE.
She Will Admit Free United States Farm
Products and Machinery


WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The reciprocity
amendment to the tariff bill reported from
the finance committee last week has been
the subject of an interview between Senator
Aldrich and Mr.. Mendonca the Brazilian
envoy on special mission to the United
States. This amendment was reported af-
ter consultation of general nature with
Maj. Mckinley, chairman Of the ways
and means committee, and other Re-
publican leaders. In the inter-
view Mr.. Mendonca said that
the amendment as reported by Senator
Aldrich was Satisfactory to Brazil, and that
she would be one of the first countries to
make concessions to the United States in
return for the removal Of duty on sugar
Mr. Mendonca said his government would
not only remove the duty on farm products
exported from the United States but would
admit free United States agricultural inn
plements and machinery and railroad
equipment and supplies, including railroad
iron; Brazil would also, he said, make re-
duction Of at least Is per cent in the duty
on cotton and leather goods and clothing
from the United States.
