Greater New York.

New York and Brooklyn wiped on the
Mnp and Replaced by n New city of
3.4OO, 900 Population, Second Only
to London.
Gov. Black affixed his signature to the
Greater New York charter bill at Albany
Wednesday. Greater New York consists
of five boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Queens, Bronx and Richmond, which are
in turn sub-divided into 10 council districts.
The mayor will be elected for four years
at salary of $751; 600 year, instead of for
two years at $4,000, as at present, With
the exception of the controller, who will be
elected by popular vote, all municipal Off
GERS will be appointed by the mayor, who
can remove at will during the first six
months of his tenure. There will be one
police force, under bipartisan board of
four, as at present. The department of
public works is to be abolished and a
water supply, sewer, bridge and street bu-
reaus will replace it, their heads to be APP
pointed by the mayor. There will be a
municipal legislature of two houses, the
council and the assembly.
Brooklyn and Long Island City are
names no longer known on the map.
Greater New York covers a territory of
$50 Sd square miles, 30 miles long and Is
miles wide, with an estimated population
of about 3, 100000, second in both respects
only to London. The first mayor will be
elected November 2.

HOLOCAUST IN PARIS,
Over 100 Burned to Death in a
Charity Bazaar.

Many More Injured In the wild Rush
of 1900 People to Reach the Exits
the building Collapsed in n Few Min
utes.
A wooden structure in Paris, in which a
charitable bazaar was being held, was de-
stroyed by fire Tuesday, the Illuminating
apparatus of kinematograph having ex-
ploded The stalls were presided over by
leaders of Partisan society and there were
from 1900 to 1900 persons in the building.
A terrible panic followed the alarm of fire
and a rush was made for the exits. Many
persons were trampled and crushed to
death before the flames reached them.
The structure burned so rapidly that the
roof fell in II minutes. Over 100 bodies
have been recovered, and it is thought as
many more are in the ruins. One hundred
and eighty persons were injured. Many
of those who escaped had all their clothing
torn off.
One of the survivors says: "On sudden,
the shout of fire was raised. Instantly all
was commotion. We tried to keep cool,
but the rush behind forced us forward and
l was knocked off my feet and carried
backward and forward in the swaying
crowd. l lost my hat, then my coat was
torn off and then my waistcoat. And all
this happened in a few seconds. lmmedi-
ately the full extent of the calamity dawned
upon us all. The flames spread with
startling rapidity through the whole build
ing, which rumbled like a living furnace;
but the uproar of the contlagration could
not drown the groans and cries of the
agonzed crowd. Gradually l found my
self pushed back against the wall of the

bling through an opening made by some
of those who were near me. Two seconds
later would have been a victim, for hard
ly had struggled through the hole before
| heard a dreadful crash as the blazing
roof fell in. | cannot describe the strug-
gle for life which ensued. No words can
depict the horror of the scene. 1t seems
as | look back upon it like a hideous night
mare. The whole thing was over in II
minutes, and nothing remained but the
charred and blackened ruins of the bazaar.
The dead were piled in heaps, especially
near the exit, where the charred remains
were five feet deep, arms, legs and skulls
mingled in intricate confusion. In some
cases only the trunks remained, with no
vestige of clothing on any of the bodies.
The only victim of American nationality
was Mrs. PCrges, whose home was in Wen
ma. Many OF the persons killed were of
high rank in social life. The bodies of the
Duchess d'Alencon and six others were
identified Wednesday. The Duchess
d'Alencon was the sister of the empress of
Austria and the wife of Prince Ferdinand
of Orleans. She was duchess of Bavaria
and was born in 1S47 aud married in 1868.
Her daughter, Princess Louise, is married
to Prince Alphonse of Bavaria, and her
son, Prince Philippe, is the husband of
Princess Henriette of Belgium. The for
mer queen of Naples is one of her sisters.
The duchess was woman of great wealth
and one of the most prominent of France.

The Cuban situation at the End of An
other Campaign.

The dry season on the island is ended
and with it the campaign of Capt. Gen.
Weyler is also brought to a close. 1t is
clear that another year of the war has
passed and that Spain has met nothing but
failure. Not even the Spaniards claim
any foothold of Importance in the two
most eastern provinces of Santiago de
Cuba and Puerto Principe, which comprise
a large portion of the island. At the end
of the second year of the war there are still
10000 or 10000 insurgents under arms
With veteran and capable leader (Go-
mez), and so long as that force exists
Cuba is no more "pacfied' than a mad
dog.
The Cuban correspondent of the Lon
don Times, the best witness that the island
affords, has declared that Gen. Weyler's
five-months' campaign has resulted in no
gain of a tangible nature. The killing of
Maceo and the capture of Rivera have not
materially affected the rebellion. The cor
respondent even declares that not one
province has been thoroughly pacifed and,
as for the future, he sees no prospect that
Spain, in her deplorable financial condition,
can ever reimpOse her rule
The Springfield Republican, after an eX-
tended review, sums up the situation by
saying ''that after over two years of siren
uous effort, during which Spain has sent
to Cuba over 10000 troops, she has utterly
failed to reestablish her authority; that
she is now on the verge of financial pros
tration; that her conduct of the war
has become characterized by inhuman
measures reprobated b ylealing Christian
nations; and finally that the island has
become a hell of devastation, starvation
and disease
