a Haif-Million- Dollar Fire Visits East St.
 Louis-A Freight Warehouse and Two
 Hundred Loaded and Empty Cars
 Burned
 ST. LouIs Oct 29.-At II o'clock last night fire started in the warehouse of the Bridge X Terminal railway in East St Louis. The fire spread to the mass of freight cars on both sides of the warehouse and burned itself out for want of material. The scene of the fire was half mile north of the Relay depot and in the center of a maze of tracks filed with cars. The ware house, 750 feet long, was filled with hay, cotton and grain.
 The local fire department and en- zines from this city hurried to the fire, but found no water, as there is not a plug within a fourth of a mile of the scene. Over 200 loaded and empty cars were burned From the time the alarm was sounded freight engines and crews were busy hauling cars into safety This alone prevented much heavier loss. The estimates of the loss range from $500, ,000 to S750 o0o The freight in the warehouse was mostly consigned to the Jacksonville < Southeastern railway. The cause of the fire is un known

Hopes Still Entertained for the Rescue
 Alive of some of the Entombed Miners.
 IEoN MOUNTAIN, Mich, Oct e6-It has been asccrtaincd to d certainty that the ten men entombed in the pewabic mine by the caving in of yes terday are all Cornishmen but two, who are Swedes. The body of Frank Gahardi. the Italian. who nearly escaped has been recovered. At 6 o'clock this evening they had dug to within eight feet of the men, and some of them at least were still alive, as a distinct tapping can be heard on a pipe leading to where the men are en- tombed. It is now thought probable that at least some of them will be rescued alive. The relatives of the men finger around the shaft hoping against hope.

Bart Carter, under sentence al Mountain Home to be hanged Deeem- Der 9l for the murder of Hunter Will son, was released from jail the other night Nine or ten of his friends rode into Mountain Home, and one of them, wearing mask, went to the sher- ifs house and asked his wife for the jail key. She gave it to him, and the crowd then liberated Carter and spirit ed him away. Sheriff Wolfe was in Little Rock at the time. An effort to capture Carter will probably be made but the chance is very slim, as the sen timent of the people is against hanging him.

CAN'T PROSECUTE REPEATERs.
An Unlooked-for Result of the Repeal of
 the Federal Election Laws.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 277.-The decision given yesterday by Mr, Dratfen, the Assistant United States district attor- ney at Kansas City, that he could not prosecute repeaters in the coming election in view of the repeal of the federal election laws, was a topic of interest at tae department of justice to-day.
 Attorney General olney said that he had not looked into the question, but from his present knowledge he be- ieved that Mir. Draffen was correct in his view of the case. There was no doubt, however, said tine attorney general, that repeaters could be brought into courts other those of the United States and punished as severely as under the federal statute which had been repealed.

GERMAN RETALIATION

Against the United States for Diserimina-
 ting Against German Beet Sugar in the New Tariff Law Beginning to Make It.
 Self Manifest
 WASHINGTON, 0et. 97.-fhe German ambassador has formally notified tho secretary of state that in consequence of the introduction of Tevas fever hv means of two shipments from New York, the importation of fresh beef and cattle from the United States to Germany would shortly be prohibited. In his official note Baron von Saurma- Jeltse adds, in regard to cargoes afoat, that shipments made from the United States tip to the asth of October will be admitted To enter Germany only on condition of being slaughtered immedi- ately upon landing
 The department of state makes pub lie the notice for the information of in- tending shippers of live cattle and fresh beef intended for Germany, but officials decline to comment oh the matter, declaring that they have no further information regarding the cause of this action of the German government
 It is thought, however. that this marks the commencement of a policy of commercial retaliation against the United States on account of the dis crimination against German beet sugar n the new tariff law
 The department Of agriculture, which maintains careful inspection of cattle and meat products exported insists that it is impossible that cattle affected with Texas fever or any sim liar complaint could have been shipped from New York, as claimed by the German officials. No reports have been received which indicate that this disease or any other could nave re gently been exported from the United States
 Cattle are not expected to arrive in perfect condition in foreign ports after tine long sea voyage, particularly at this season of the year, when vessels are liable to have rough passages, due to tie stormy conditions which prevail on the Atlantic. The fever thns pro dueed by the sea voyage is what is i probably called Texas fever by the German government
 No complaints have been received from other countries. The note of the German ambassador is the first intima- tien that the Germans had any fault to find with American expectations of cattle. The department of agrieul- ture will be called npon ta investigate the complaint made by Germany, and Secretary Gresham fl is expected, will send il protest against Germanv's ae- tion to that government through the 1 American m6a598dar at Berlin.

POLITICAL ASSESS MENTS.
Commissioner Roosevelt Has More to Say
 Regarding Them.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-.In reference to the charges of political aSsessments at Philadelphia, said Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt yesterday, the commission finds, after iuvcstiga- ton. tdat there has been very little at tempt at assessment in either the post office CT eastemhease 50 far as the classified service iA concerned, the ma jority of clerks carriers, etc, being left free to contribute to either party as they wished. In the mint the cGn- dition of affairs was much the same as at the Pittsburgh internal revenue office. Most of the employees were men appointed for political reasons from the rank of the dominant party. These people have received circulars asking them tn contribute. amt gain reminding them of their failure to con tribute if they did rot do so at the first request. Apparently there was no vio- lation of the law committed in the Way these circulars were sent out, and there was certainly no duress exercised by the head of the mint on his subordinates to make them contribute.
