FIRE ALARMS.
A New System to BE Adopted ~ This
City.

n NEW System to be huoptcd " Ihi6
City.
A new system of fire alarm signals
| this city has been devised by the 1 I'd
OF commissioners, and il will be be nut
| into practice on the last day of this
month at midnight.
The object OF the change is to secure
quick response on the part OF the com
panies, and with that end i'm view the
length of time for indicating the location
OF fire has been reduced to the min
iruum.
BY the additional features OF four
cautionary strokes of the gongs, general
alarm may be given In such a way that
the entire department can get under way
in Just five and a half minutes after the
sounding of the first stroke of the first
alarm. The new system is such that 1t
will also prevent any further misunder-
standing In the event of alarms from
different boxes coming in at practically
the same time.
The new code is as follows: First
alarm, one round of the box number fol-
lowed by not less than two nor more than
three rounds OF the tox number; second
alarm, four blows struck thus, 1-1-1-1
followed by the box number; third alarm
four blows struck after the second alarm
thus, 1-1-1-1, followed by the box mum Der !;
general alarm, four blows repeated at any
time after the first alarm thus, 1-1-1-i,
l-l-l-l followed Dy the DOA NUMBER.
No alarm, other than first alarm, shall
be given except by the engineer in COM
mand, and in no case shall an alarm from
any box be considered or answered as a
second or third alarm, unless the box
number is preceded by the cautionary
signal.
Whenever an alarm is received from an
other box before the recall is sounded
the companies will, unless such alarm is
preceded by the cautionary signal, re-
spond In the manner provided for in
Rules 92 and SO.
The general alarm signal shall be
known as the "Double- Four and inn
mediately upon receipt of the cautionary
signal all unemployed companies will at
once respond.
The second, third and general alarm
will not necessarily be given from the
same box as the first alarm, as cases may
arise where the engineer in command
may consider IL expedient TO sound the
same from another box, and this may be
done by means of the cautionary signal
Box will be taken out of service so as
to prevent confusion with the new eau
tionary signals. Box 456 will be substi-
tinted

More Than Sixteen thousand
Concerned.
Failure OF Contractors to Live up to
Contracts the Cause.


NEW YORK, July 20 The long expected
jtrike OF the Brotherhood Tailors Is on
soday in earnest
More than $1,000 persons engaged in
the making OF coats of all kinds are out
in obedience to the order given by the
general executive board.
The strike, 1t is claimed by the workers,
was caused by so contractors locking out
nearly one thousand workmen and also
by the failure OF the contractors 10 live
up to the agreement made with the
brotherhood last fall when a general
strike against task system was brought
to a successful end by the unions. The
men and women on strike, include opera
tors, tailors, finishers, pressers, bushellers,
basters, buttonhole makers, felters, and
the pullers. OF the 10, 900, 5000 are in
this city, 600 in Brooklyn and Browns
vile, 120D in Newark where the strike
was ordered this morning, and 300
Lithuanian tailors in this city and East
New York.
II is said that tailors' strikes would
also occur in Chicago, Baltimore and
Boston and would be conducted on the
same lines as the one in progress here.
RIoTINa AND BLooDsHED.
Rioting attended with bloooshed oc-
cured today in the Hebrew colony on
5iegel street, caused by some of the strik-
ing tailors in attempting TO prevent non
union men from working The police OF
Stagg street station gathered in force as
soon as the first violence was reported,
and after considerable trouble and liberal
clubbing, dispersed the crowd Half an
hour later, however, they gathered again
and attacked a shop, meaning apparent ly
TO clean IL out.
The first trouble was at the shop at No.
"a Siegel street, kept by the firm OF
Kaufman q Co. One hundred and fifty
three tailors went out early this morning
from the two establishments at 52 and 81
Siegel streets, and when a few non-union
men applied for work they were pushed
away.
large crowd soon assembled. Some
Of the non-union men were beaten when
they insisted on trying to enter the shop,
and as they ran away, one or two OF them
many persons were killed. The police
reserves of the sixth precinct were soon
on hand, and they charged the crowd.
Some of the strikers were hurt in the sharp
skirmish, but were taken away by the
striking. During the riot number OF
shots were fired by the rioters, but so far
as Is known no one was seriously hurt.
This was about ! AS O'Clock, and the po-
lice went back TO the station house, leav-
ing everything quiet.
Fifteen minutes after the departure of
the police, 80 strikers who went out this
morning, from the shop of s. Challis at
81 Even street, aided by many eth sr
strikers, began an attack on Chains
shop and few non-union workmen.
They were wrecking the place when the
police reserves ran to the scene and scat
tered the crowd. A Mrs. Sophie Silver
stein. of 81 Even street, whose room was
broken into by these strikers, had her
scalp cut open with a picture. There
were no other cases OF serious injuy.
Dozens of these strikers and their
friends were seen with hands and heads
bound up, evidently from being dubbed.

The New York Yacht Club in
GIes Cove.
A Magnificent Sight Of Nimble HeeIsd
Yachts.
An Invitation to Join I'm the Fete at
Newport, Accepted.

GLEN COVE l.. L., July 20. The early
morning gave little promise Of an auspic-
.ous start for the New York Yacht Club
on its annual cruise. Scarcely a breath
of breeze rippled the water In the cove
and the absence Of that element some
what dampened the enthusiasm of the
yachtsmen. The harbor presented a
beautiful picture. The cove was thickly
dotted with craft, both white and black
In color, and OF all rigs and sizes, steamers
and sailing vessels. The flagship Sylvia,
which had been on the ground since yes
terday, took up position directly on
the dock at an early hour, and stood by
to welcome the laggards as they came TO
the point of start. During the morning
This procession consisted In the dropping
OF anchor and the firing of q gun by
new comers to formally announce their
presence, and then the welcoming signal
by the flagship.
One OF the first large boats to come in
this morning Was Mr.. Perry Belmonts
Auxiliary Satanellea, w no appeared under
the sail OF her brigantine rig. Shortly
after, or at 9:40, the Vigilant showed up
from the westward under tow. AT the
same moment, the Defender, over on the
New York shore near New Rochelle, was
hosting mainsail and 1t was seen that IL
cloud not be long before she joined the
fleet which was waiting for the signal TO
get under way and hoping that the
southerly breeze would hurry up. Among
the many yachts which were already in
the cove, were the schooners Constella-
tion, Palmar, Brunhilde, Emerald, Elsie,
Matte and Carlotta and the sloops Wasp,
Hildegard, Radina, Katrina and Bedoin,
ell of whom hope to be well in it, when
the racing begins. Others were dropping
in all the time. The two Vanderbilt
steam yachts Valiant and Con-
queror came along about 10 O'Clock.
The Vigilant had got up
her manisail and clubtopsail at
10:30, but remained at anchor. The De-
fender, across the Sound, had hoisted sail
and was trying 10 reach over the suspicion
of breeze from west-southwest. The
Vigilant and her moorings were surrounded
by score or more OF craft and too many
complimentary signals, ii seemed, could
not be given to the popular champion.
At the meeting OF the captains on the
Sylvia. which began at 10:30 and occupied
an hour, there was a long discussion as
to whether boats in cruising trim should
carry davits. Ii was finally decided that
vessels could do as they pleased unlesss
the davits were permanent part of her
system. In that case she was compelled
10 carry them. 1t was also decided that
the preparatory signal should be fired at
1890 p. IN. There seemed to be no doubt
among the captains that the course to
Eaton's Point, off Huntington, could be
made today, and that a postponement
was not considered. The invitation of
the citizens committee OF Newport, to
join in the Venetian fete on Wednesday
night was accepted, and the yachts will
illuminate on that night.
