New YoRK, Jan. 21,-Story & Co..
five-story warehouse, Washington and
Main streets, is on fire at 2 80 this
morning. Three alarms have been
turned in. This building Is used by the
merchants of the vicinity for the stor-
age of cotton and rice. One wall
of the burning building has fall
en- in and buried 15 men in
the ruins. Other firemen have been set
at work digging them out. Fifteen men
are supposed to be dead or badly burned.
Ii is impossible to give the names Of the
killed as yet. Those known to have
been seriously injured are Pipe
men Coyle, Roburtson, Ronald and
McCarren, all of truck No. s..
When the men were removed from the
ruins they were instantly placed in am
balances and hurried away to the hos.
pital. They presented horrible sight
and If appearances count for anything
1t 10 very doubtful II any of them will re-
cover. A score of firemen are working
with all their might to rescue those still
under the debris.
At the time the wall fell large num-
Der of tiremen were fighting the flames
on that side of the warehouse to pre-
vent their spreading to an adjoining
soap factory. When the wall began to
crack some one shouted to the working
tiremen to run for their lives. The
warning came too late, for before
half of them reached q place of safety,
an awful mass OF brick and timbers
came crushing down on them. A call
was sent for more fremen to aid in dig
ing out the unfortunate men. Soon
they succeeded in rescuing four of truck
No. Sc men and at this hour are still
engaged in making every effort to rescue
the buried men. 1t is believed IL men
are still under the ruins, and in all
probability they will be dead before
they can be rescued. The loss is esti.
mated at 100000.
Later-The report that Is fremen
were under the ruins proves to have
been exaggerated, but nine fremen had
a narrow escape from instant death.
They were all painfully injured and
three are likely 10 die. The injured
were all removed to St. Vincent's
hospital.

New York, Jan. 20.-A Washington
special Gays: President Harrison will
send to congress within few days a
special message which may have an i'm
portant bearing upon the possible an
nexation of Canada to the United States.
The message is ia response to a reeolu-
tion presented by Congressman Hit, on
behalf of the committee on foreign
affairs, July 10, 1892 The message will
Also deal with another form Of the ques-
ton, which will prove embarrassing to
the subsidy military railroad Of Canada.
The president will declare that this
government has right to require in
spectlon by its customs officers Of goods
received from foreign territory at any
American port for transhipment. For
example, the grsater bulk of silks and
teas sent in English bottoms from the
Orient for importation into this country
are delivered in bond at San francisco;
then sent by vessel to British Columbia
whence, under seal. they are carried
over the Canadian Pacific railroad;
thence across the border to either New
York or some other United States port.
President Harrison will take the view
that such importstions would hereafter
receive examination by Uniied States
custom officials upon arriving at San
Francisco, and duty upon them be i'm
Dlediately levied and collected. The
effect of this would be to cause their
transportation across the continent on
American railways, instead of the Cana
dian military line. These will be the
chief points of the much heralded retali-
atory message soon to be transmitted to
congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.---The decision

Senator Power said if there is any,
thing wrong with the law, the people of
the Pacific slope and their representa-
tives in congress would zee the defect

Representative Gesry thought the de-
cision would not stand.
Representative Oates of Alabama, a
member of the judiciary committee,
said if the report is correct, Judge Nell
son was treating Chinaman as
citizen.
Senator FELTON, was of the same opin-
ion, but added that unless Chinese were
excluded from the western states
condition would arise that would cast
the labor troubles of the east into the
shade. The Chinaman was against every
man. He never became q citizen and
was utterly un-American and an alto
gether undesirable accession to thu pop
ulation Of any part OF the country. 1t
