What the Lack OF Period Has Dore for

What the Lack OF a Period Has Done for
the Tariff bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. @-Additioual er-
rors in punctuation in the new tariff bill
are constantly being discovered ty the
treasury officials. An important mistake
has been found in section five of the free
list This section provides that articles
Of foreign manufacture must be stamped
with the name of the country of origin,
and then says "and until so marked.
stamped. branded OF labelled they shall
not be delivered 10 the importer should
any article of imported merchandise be
marked. stamped" etc. in excess of the
quantity actually contained in such arti-
Gle, etc.
II is assumed that there should have
been period placed between the words
importer" and should" but as there Is
none the paragraph as il stands is uninte!.
Egible and may lead to serious EN- barrass-
Inepts in its execution Up TO this time
Secretary Carlisle has not asked any
opinion from the attorney general upon
the many mistakes in the bill, and he will
probably not do SO until after the bill
becomes law. The secretary, however,
has expressed the opinion that all good:
now il bond which have been changed
from, the dutiable TO free list will be sub
ject to the duty in force when imported, il
withdrawn for consumption.

FIRE AT II woRLUs FAIR
SEVERAL BUILDINGS ARE NOW m
RUINS.
The Casino. M.sic HAN and the Peri.
style Burned and the Liberal Arts
Building Dama9ed-One Fireman
Killed and Several other Injured.

Chicago, Jan. 9. - The worlds fair
Pompei came last night. A rushing vol
cano of flame, a huge gothic architecture
tumbling to chaos; bewildered mobs Of
pcople-all were there, under q great
starry sky of Italian clearness, with
Lske Michigan's broad expanse, a second
Mediterranean. Probably no more mag
n%iticent, yet terrifying, spectacle has ever
been witnessed this side of the Atlantic.
The fire started in the Casino and is
for revenge. 1t quickly spread to the
ptrdstyie, aud this, together with the
Music hall, soon went. 1t then attacked
the manufactures and liberal arts build
ing, but after an hours hard fight the
frMes were subdued. The federal Of
ticials put the maximum loss at $1,000
OOO. On the otter hand tn. estimates
made by the people connected with the
local directory made the highest figures
OF ly 100000 in the liberal arts building.
The great fire was not without its work
of death and injury. For the second
time within the history Of the exposition
the firemen risked life and limb to save
the property of others and saddened
home as the result.
Thu dead: William Mackey, pipeman
Engine Company No. 81; fell from ladder
on peristyle. Internally injured and died
ut Mercy hospital.
Injured: Capt. Frederick Getz, Truck
No. 16; fell from roof of manufactures
building; left leg broken, chest badly In
jured and internally hurt. Eugene Du-
rand, Waterman in rhe French section Of
the manufactures building, struck on the
head by a plank; badly cut and bruised.
Shortly after III o'clock four firemen
were caught beneath a crush of falling
embers just outside of the manufactures
building. Streams of water were al once
poured upon the mass and soon the i'll
could not be ,a~scertained by the chief,
but it was said that all of the men were
I'll conscious when rescued, and that three
of them were fatally injured.
AT midnight President l%Iiginbothem
t~elephoned to the general manager of the
Associated Press. He said he had been
in the burning building over two hours;
that the roof had burned and fallen, but
that, fortunately, few of the exhibits
were in the range of the falling embers.
II should say" said he, that the loas
by water would be much greater than by
fire. The total loss to exhibits will not
exceed 100000. Of course the loss is
serious enough, but the fire Is now under
control, and there is no more to fear.
All told, the contents of the liberal arts
building did not exceed a million dollars
in value. As to the casino, peristyle
and music hall, there is no loss. We
should not regret their burning as it is
the cheapest way to get rid of them"
