New YORK, Oct. 12.-While the storm

hours was at its height just.before
o'clock Wednesday morning. a new
eightrstory building at "a Monroe
street collapsed. bearing down with
it the house at u Monroe sGreet and
the rear extension Of the building. on
the other SIDE. 7a. Both places were
filled with sleeping tenants, who were
buried under the tremendous mass Of
ruins.i The crash, of the falling walls
aroused the neigbbors,. who, :scantily
clad, began the work of rescue, which
was continued well into the day BY
police and 'ffemen. They mined far

LABOR PARLIAMENT.
An Important Conference to Be
Shortly Held in Chicago.
Tho Relations of Capital and Labor to BE
Discussed from All standpoints-
Prominent Speakers Who
WIN Participates.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The parliament Of
labor which has been called by the
Civic federation to meet in Chicago
November IS promises to be q most
notable altering. Replies to the cir
cular letter of invitation have been re-
ceived from a great many men of prom
inence as thinkers on economic sub
jects, or as employers or leaders Of la
Dor. There is striking consensus Of
opinion in favor of making the confer
ence as practical as possible. Thesug-
gestion comes from all sides that the
employers of labor and the represen-
tatives of labor, as the ones best know
ing the actual conditions to be met,
should be brought to the front in such
discussion.
The plan of the parliament is mod
eled on that of the parliament of re-
ligion, so successful lastyear. There
is to be nothing in the nature of con-
troversy. Each speaker is to present
his own views, not to antagonize or
controvert those of others There is
to be the utmost catholicity of
tolerance and every speaker is
expected to respect this tolerance.
Differences of opinion are not to
be allowed to appear as hos
Utilities of thought. Into this
parliament is to be poured the re-
suit of the thought and investigation
of the individual thinkers and invests
gators of the country. 1t will form,
as it were, a comparative exhibit Of
all that has been accomplished along
the lines of the prevention and settle

TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

Record Of the Recent Gale on the New:
49,. foundland Coast.
ST. PIERRE, Miquelon, Oct. 1.-Two
hundred lives are believed to have
been lost by the terrible gale which
ragged here Tuesday night and all day
Wednesday. More than fifty vessels
are ashore and damaged, and several
ships are missing. A feet of about
300 vessels were forced to abandon the
fishery by the gale on the banks on
September 20 and 80 These vessels.
have returned here during the
last few days with heavy losses
of cables, anchors, lines and dories. It
will be some days before the. full ex-
tent of the disaster caused by the two
storms can be learned. There is
mourning in allsthe fishing villages on
the banks and here at st. Pierre.
More than 800 men were at sea during
the gales and more than 200, perhaps
twice that number, have not been
heard from.
OswEeo, N. Y, Oct. 12.-About s.
O'clock Thursday evening vessel,
supposed to be the Hartford, went
upon the rocks near Woodville, IS
miles east of here. Capt. O'Toole, of
Clayton, the owner, his wife and
child and four men were on
board. The Big sea commenced to
break the vessel up, and it is reported
that the captain and entire crew were
drowned. The Hartford was freighted
with corn from Detroit. No bodies
are reported to have been recovered.
That the gale was not accompanied
by loss of life is due entirely to the
heroic work of the various life-saving
crews on the two lakes. In spite OF
the furious gale these brave men sue
ceeded in every case in taking off the
crew of each wreck without the loss
of man.

II. G. Dun on the Situation In Trade Cir.
cles-Not Very Encouraging.
New YORK, Oct. 15.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: go
Business Is still waiting for the develop
ment Of retail trade There is little better
demand in some industries, but not so good
In others. Wholesale dealers in nearly all
branches are halting because business does
not yet show distinctly what it Is to be. Lower
prices for the great farm staples and lower
wages in SOME establishments, hinder
purchases -:sfor consumption; while polit-
ical interest and uncertainty also have
some retarding influence. Meanwhile; large
imports and small exports of merchant,
disc, with inadequate employment for
money here. are raising the rates of foreign
exchange SO that possibilities OF gold exports
somewhat affect the stock market. The halt
ing,attitude for the moment Is disturbing to
those who have looked for continued gain,
though rightly considered it is the naturalcon-
sequence Of conditions which were to be ex-
pected at this season. = !;
The government crop reports are not great
~ trusted and yet have an influence and actu-
ally exaggerate the tendency toward lower
prices because they are supposed to report
all the crops too low. Men calmly reckon
that If the government report indicates
over 4OO,0O0,0O bushels Of wheat the
crop must be over 50OOO0,OOO bushels and
the price is slightly lower. Corn has been
stronger, for receipts are hardly quarter and
exports barely an eighth OF last year, and the
question Is whether the actual yield. it above
the government estimate, may not prove lower
than has been supposed
THE iron industry records larger produc-i
ton in September than in any other month
this year, but as prices are gradually weak
ening, because Of insufficient demand for fin
ished products, some works are preparing to
close or shorten time.
The wooden mills still have numerous be-
lated orders for fall goods, but the demand for
! spring does not increase, though in nearly all
the lower priced products domestic makers ap-
pear able to command most of the business
| that exists.

debris, consisting Of wreckage from
boats, wharves, fish houses and logs of
every description. The storm began
ats o'clock Monday morning with a
heavy wind, increasing in vio-
e nee and continuing. until Tuesday

of property is very great. The city
hall has the roof blown off and one
entire side knocked out by logs. The
city Jail cannot be found. The five
bridges on the shell road. leading to
thet mainland are washed away. A
great many small boats were wrecked
and fish camps demolished. One sloop

who held up a Southern Pacific over

the Wells-Fargo company express car
secured over $4,000. They seem to
have eluded the officers and escaped

all in gold coin, and consequently a
heavy burden. The astounding sue

of the robbery gave the amount Of
money taken at $1,000
The robbery was a daring one. Four

Perhaps every part of this country
that saw the infancy of the railway
has traditions of men that sat waiting
with shotguns to prevent the engi-
neers from surveying on their lands,
and many town of arrested develop
ment owes its decrepitude to some such
opposition to early railways. The
history of that time is now repeating
itself in the opposition of country
folks here and there to electric rail
ways. The danger of frightening
horses and the inconvenience to team
sters in a public road are some of the
arguments advanced against this new
factor in rural civilization.

WITH the death Of Oliver Wendell
Holmes the famous New England
school of writer's has been formally
closed. That he should be the last to
pass away was survival of the most
genial and most humorous. He lived
so easily, so sweetly, that the world
did not wear him out and the world
never grew tired of him. The longer
he lived the more he was loved. In
him there was the blending Of all that
was most human and so much that
was divine. 1t is hard to say good-by,
and yethis passing was into rest; death
came as peacefully as a thousand times
he had fallen asleep.
