Fatal Tenement House Fire in

NEW YORK, March 30.-Four people
were killed and two injured in a fire

In the apartments of the McManus
family the fire originated, so far as
the police and the fremen are able to
determine. Nicholas McManus, one
of the sens, who slept in one of the
back rooms of the suite, was awakened
by the smell of smoke. He turned in
an alarm and awakened the tenants.
1t was among the tenants on the top
floor that the chief danger lay. Some
of them ran to the roof and escaped in
that direction, but others sought to
get down by the stairway. Miss Mar
garet Ryan and Miss Kate Higgins
one of the household, on being awak-
ened, ran to the front windows on the
third floor, where they lived. The
dremen had already arrived, and lad
ders had been placed on the front side
ants whose lives were in dan
ger. On one of these ladders
was Foreman Walsh. As he was
ascending, burst of fame and smoke
shot out of one of the windows, and
he was sent Keeling to the street. AS
Walsh fell Miss Ryan leaped from the
window to the sidewalk and Miss Hig-
gins, apparently partly overcome by
the smoke in the room above, fell to
the ground at almost the same time

buildings were designed and erected by
Richard NJ. Hunt. AS exhibition of
landscape gardening Biltmore is unsur-
passed, and the architect has made build
ings which, for their respective uses, excel
any buildings in the world. All of these
houses and the departments which they
represent are under the supervision of ex-
perts. They include Germans, French
men, Italians, Englishmen and Ameri-
cans, the pay roll embracing more than
1000 names, many of them men of science
from universities and all of them having
superior knowledge or skill in their re-
spective departments.
MIR. Vanderbilt proposes to finish the
work on the plan he has inaugurated for
Biltmore and then leave it equipped and
endowed as legacy to the public.''

The government will be interpoI-

the necessity of making some kind of
a statement in reply. An important
debate is expected to result and there
is feeling in some quarters that far
reaching changes of policy may be an
nounced.
The air is electric with expectation,
and numerous rulnOrs are current of
grave things that are in contempla-

stantially formulated are, that the
resignation of NJ Berthelot as Min
yesterday, was connected with the
wish of M Bourgeois, the premier, to
recall Baron de Counsel, the French
ambassador in London; that Frances
