Buffalo, N. Y, May q. The Seneca
street side Of the Brown building, for
merly occupied by the Western Union
Telegraph company. collapsed and o
score or more people were buried In
the ruins. The building was filled
with offices, almost all Of which were
occupied. The Western Union left the
building q few weeks ago, and the
owners OF the block began the work Of
remodelling and strengthening 1t. On
the Seneca street side workMen were
engaged in putting in place new iron
columns and beams when the walls of
section of the building fell In. Iron
columns were twisted like wires, and
heavy beams were torn to pieces like
piper, pillars Of brick crunlDled to
pieces, md a huge cloud of dust arose,
shutting out the wrecked building for
some moments. The immediate cause
of the collapse of the building is sup
posed to have been the removal Of too
many supporting columns before the
new ones were placed in position. I'm

Leather Pneumatic wires.

The use Of leather for pneumatic
tires is attracting attention. A Chi.
'cago company has on the market a
tire, the outer case Of which is manu-.
factured from specially prepared
leather, which contains an endless
tube Of rubber, firmly cemented on the
underside to the leather. This makes
practically a single tube leather tire.
The manufacturers claim for this tire
that 1t is especially adapted for use
on rocky or flinty roads, and that IL
will stand an unusual amount of weai
and tear without danger of puncture.
Another quality claimed for these tires
is that they will not slip on muddy
pavements and are not affected by
heat or cold.-Hardware.

Sugar will go well as a side Dr

Arbucl<les may find it difficult to alb
sorp or compete with the Refinery II

market for sugar in the United States.
The Arbuckles are enormously veal

amount of additional capital for any
reasonable project and are familiar
with the ms and outs of heavy oper-
ations. 1t may be that they will throw
down the gauntlet to the Trust, but
The Star doubts it. In battle of this
sort they would meet foemen worthy
their steel. The intimation that the
Arbuckles propose going into sugar is
probably of piece with the old rum
or of the leaning of the Standard Oil
company in that direction. The Trust
need ask no odds from either of these
corporations, having the distinct adj
vantage of being already firmly and

There is a good deal of buncombe
and buster in the advices concerning
the United States ship that it is pro-
posed, on paper, to anchor outside
Constantinople. If Turkey does not
wish the Dardanelles entered it will
require strong feet instead of a
single back number cruiser to force
the passage. The dispatch fixes the
impression, however, that the United
States proposes to act decisively.
Statements by prominent Britons set
ting forth the attitude of that coun-
try are somewhat involved, uncertain
and doubtful. The only inference is
that England proposes to do the very
best she can without resorting to
force
