IN DANGER OF FLAMES.
Hundreds of Men, Women, Boys
and Girls Flee for Their
Lives.
Fire Starts in a Paper Factory and
Occupants of the Building Barely
Save Themselves.

CHICAGO, ILL. March 10. = A fire
which was source of danger to hundreds
of men and women, boys ana girls, started
this afternoon in the stock of the Lartz
Wall Paper Company on the second floor
of the stone-front building which the COM
pany leases from the M artin Ryerson es-
tate, located at AZ and 40 Randolph street.
Only an alley separates the six story
structure from the towering Masonic Tenn
pie on State street. The total loss on
building and contents will not exceed
$4,000, principally to the high-grade stock
of the Lartz Company and more from
water than fire. The concert is branch
of the National Wall Paper Company.
On the fourth floor were $50 young men
and girls. pupils of the Chicago Business
College. Although they were told quietly
to leave the building, and there was no
danger, none of them waited to get all
their clothing or belongings, and rushed
pell-mell down the narrow stairs to the
street. In like manner over 100 employees
of Lord & Thomas, the advertising firm,
and 125 girls and others employed on the
fifth floor by the E. L.. Mansure Company,
fringe-makers, made hasty exit.

SEEKING INFORMATION.

Bills Relating to Reciprocity aud Conn
nerciaI Treaties to Be Considered.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 10.-The
subcommittee of the Committee on Ways
and Means having under consideration
several bills relating to reciprocity and
commercial treaties will have series of
public hearings, commencing Monday,
March 16, and closing March 81. The
committee desires practical information
concerning the operations of the reci-
procity treaties that were negotiated by
the last ad mlnistration and the effect of
their repeal; also the obstacles that retard
the extension of our export trade in the
tariff or customs regulations of foreign
countries. The inquiry will be confined to
those two points.
The committee has mailed about 5000
circulars of inquiry to merchants and
manufacturers actually engaged in the
export trade, and also circnlars to COM
mercial and industrial organizations ask
ing questions on these points.

postal service, but for the benefit of the
railroad corporations. He thought not.
The motion to strike out the appro-
priation was advocated by Kyle (D.) of
Mississippi ard antagonized by Yelling
ton (R.) of Maryland and Ogden 3D. of
Louisiana.
The motion to strike out the appropria-
ton on division of the committee received
100 affirmative votes and 95 negative. the
announcement of which was received with
applause. A vote by tellers was demanded,
resulting: Ayes, SO; noes, ia. The ap-
plause was repeated. this time by the
other side.
An amendment offered by Tawney (R.)
of Minnesota was agreed to, providing that
railways carrying mail may furnish free
transportation to the CLERKS engaged in the
railway mail service.
The paragraph appropriating $S1, 700 for
special facilities from Kansas City to New
ton, Kans., went out on point of order !;
also the one appropriatlng $780, 900 for tn e
same on lines from Chicago TO Omaha,
via Burlington.
Without concluding consideration of the
bill the committee rose and at 10 O. clock
the House adjourned until tomorrow.

TO ADMIT NEW MEXICO.
Il Favorable Report on the Bill Ordered
bn the (ro3u m iffee.

Il Fdr0r0Ote report Oh the fSau OrdeTed
By the Committee.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10.-The
subcommittee of the Committee on Terri
tories this morning by vote ordered a
favorable report on the bill to admit New
Mexico to statehood. A number of minor
amendments were made to the pending
measure, among others one to make the
census of 1890 the basis of representation
in the constitutional convention. It IS be-
lieved that the full committee will order a
favorable report on the bill. There will
undoubtedly be fight against the admis-
sion of this Territory when the bill comes
into the Senate. First, because the Terri
tory is not, as some Senators claim, suffi-
GENTLY settled to justify its people in
assuming statehood, and for the further
reason that the Spanish language is the
tongue commonly spoken within it's
borders, and, second, because by the admis-
sion of this Territory the strength of the
free-silver men in the Senate would be in
creased two votes by the admission of the
Senators from that Territory when it be-
came State.
The bill may perhaps pass the Senate,
but the indications are that it cannot pass
the House of Representatives.

sidered without action bill introduced by
Hit of Illinois, chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, which permits any
citizen or subject of foreign power claim
ing of the United States or under treaty
or upon the principles of international
law indemnity for injury to person or
property to bring suit upon such claim in
any United States Circuit Court.
The bill has the approval of Secretary
Olney, who regards it as simpler in charac-
ter and more limited in scope than any
previous bill on the same subject which
has come under his observation.
