SMOKED OUT LIKE RATS.
Fashionable Boarding House in
Philadelphia Invaded
by Fire.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 1.-Two persons
lost their lives in fire this morning at the
fashionable boarding house Of Mrs. c. 3.
Reeves, 1913 South Broad street. The
dead. who were boarders il the house.
are:
MRS. ELLA RAY SMITH.
MISS CULLENDEN.
The fire was discovered by a colored
waiter shortly before 6 O'Clock bursting
from the shaft of a dumb waiter He at
tempted to extinguish the flames with a
bucket of water, but the fire had gained
such Roadway that the water had no eff
feet The colored man, seeing the flames
were beyond his control, rushed frantically
from room to room to arouse the sleeping
bOarders, all of whom We're i'll the house
at the time Before he had completed
the rounds of the rooms the house was
filed with smoke and the man had to run
for his life.
The fourth story front room was occu-
pied by Mrs. Smith and the middle room
on the same floor by Miss Cullenden. The
Gremen were OH the scene in a few min
utes and at once turned their attention
to rescuing the boarders on the third and
fourth floors. All of those on the third
men rushed to the fourth floor They
tried the doors of Mrs. Smith and Miss
Cullenden, but found both locked. The
doors were quickly burst open. Lying on
the floor in the front room was the body
Of Mrs. Smith, partly wrapped in car
pet which she had torn from the floor
in her agony. She had been suffocated by
the smoke Marks on the window sill
showed that she had made an effort to
raise the window, but it is supposed that
in her weak condition she could not get it
up. Miss Cullenden was found lying
across the bed in her room, having fallen
from suffocation. She was dead when
reached by the fremen.
There were many narrow escapes. Mr..
and Mrs. II. G. Pollock occupied room
on the first floor. AS soon as they were
aroused, Mr. Pollock rushed to the floor
above to arouse his daughter. He was
partially overcome by the smoke before
he succeeded and had to be carried from
the building.
r. l.. Raboug, who occupied fourth
story back room, had a thrilling escape
from suffocation. He saw that his escape
down the stairway was cut off, and, gath
ering up his bed clothing, rushed to the
window and waved frantically, endeavor-
ing to attract the attention of the fremen.
Fireman Rafferty, of engine company No.
, had by this time reached the roof of
the burning building and was attracted
to the side of the building by Raboug's
wild shrieks. Rafferty, took in the situa-
ton at a glance. He rushed to the lad
der and procuring a short piece of rope,
dropped it to Raboug. The latter realiz-
ing that this was his only means of es-
cape clutched the slender strand and was
drawn upon the roof by the sheer strength
of the fireman. From the roof he was
taken down the ladder in safety.
The rear of the building was partially
destroyed, involving the loss of a few
tbOuSa nd dollars

london, Nov. 3O.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says that great excitement pre-
walls in naval circles there in conse-
quence of the departure of British war
ships from that port under sealed orders.
The presence of three British cruisers

himself at the head Of the army which
he, has created for his own purposes

A TREMENDOUS BLUFF.
Washington People Say the Sugar
Refiners Are Trying to
Gain Sympathy.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 30-That it is
nothing more than a tremendous bluff is
the judgment of public men here upon the
announcement of the sugar trust officials
that they intended to shut down their re-
fneries in anticipation of legislation dur,
ing the coming session of Congress tending
to make the refining of sugar in the Unit,
ed States improbable. 1t is believed that
the sugar refiners, thinking there would be
attempts during the coming session to re-
peal part or all of the protection they en-
JOY under the ce-Gorman-Havemeyer
schedule, are attempting to produce an i'm,
preston that it will be impossible for them
to continue their business if the tariff on
refined sugar is even slightly reduced All
their talk about throwing $4,000 employees
out of work at the beginning of winter is
looked upon as a very transparent attempt
to gain public sympathy and furnish argu>
ments in favor of retaining the present du>
ties to their representatives on the floor of
the Senate.
New York, Nov. 3O.-The Evening
Post says: The statement of II. 0.
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining company (the sugar trusD
that the refineries of the company must
be shut down for while owing to de-
preston in the trade due to legislation,
was discussed today in business and la
Dor circles The modified announcement
made by Mr.. Havemeyer today that only
half the force would be laid off was re-
garded as an Indication of a less fixed
purpose than was indicated in the decla-
ration of the company's intention on
Wednesday night. At the refneries in
Brooklyn hundreds of workmen and
women members of their families We're
gathered this morning. From their
statement it appears that about 5000 OF
the 1000 men usually kept busy were
idle today. They did not know how
long this would last. When they were
discharged ON Wednesday night they UNI
derstood that they would resume again
on Sunday night. Others said that so
far as the Eastern district rehnerles were
concerned, they We're not overstocked
with sugar as there was less than 10000
barrels on hand-not more than enough
for four days supply of the market. The
Mollenhauer refinery, which is not in the
trust, was running at its full capacity
today. Extra hands were put on this
morning. In Wall street the disposition
was general to connect the action of the
Sugar trust managers with the coming
session of Congress. The directors have
received nothing officially since the vote
in the Senate, and have refused to take
even when the rather striking trade de-
velopments of the past two months have
been in progress. 1t has, however, gener-
ally been believed that the next dividend
on the sugar compahy's common stock,
Which is payable in January, will be de-
clared in the middle of next month will
be reduced from the quarterly 3 per cent
