THE ST. JAMES GAZETTE
Reads Us u HomiIy Anent the Rejection of

LONDON, May 6.-The afternoon pa.
pcrs are bitter at the rejection of the
arbitration treaty by the United States
senate.
The st. James Gazette publishes a
long article headed: Free Trade and
Brotherly Love-" in which it says:
Great Britain has removed every
hampering tariff, and thousands OF
square miles OF American territory,
scores of her cities and millions
of her citizens thrive by virtue of the
English market alone. Yet the senate
committee has just piled up the most
vexatious, harrassing and impenetra-
BILE wall of tariffs any nation ever
formed against another, while the SEN
ate itself has decided against a perma-
ncnt machinery for the pcaceable set
Element of disputes. The much-abuscd
diplomats we're advised that the treaty
would be accepted, but the politicians
preferred to listen to the counsels
of an ~ex-convict and sworn enemy
of England, who, having taken the
oath of allegiance TO the queen spends
his vacation in Washington advising
the enato to hope AMI work pa
ticntly for an opportunity to twist the
British lions tail. We rejoice at the
new Canadian preferential tariff for
many reasons, not the least of which
is that il restores to us the weapons
with which to fight our rivals in the
future. Free imports at any price de-
prived us of that weapon.

At the 4sioE of the address the
band struck up Dixie, y and then the
very earth itself seemed to shake with
the thunders of applause. 1t was a
sight never to be forgotten.
When order was restored, or rather
when quiet oncc more reigned. Maj. L.
G. Lewis, the dircctor-general of the
association, under whose skillful guild
ance the marvellous project materialized
and came into being, stepped forward,
and as he did SO the volume of APP
plause shook the very armament, and
it was at once seen that Tennessee had
looked upon the work of her gifted son

was brief and very characteristic of

credit may belong to others work done

cupying the upper floors of the five
story brick and stone building. l59 to
1853 Chambers street, running to Bcade
street, was almost completely destroy
ell by fire tonight. The loss will prob
ably amount to more than $500, 900.
Three alarms called 10 engines To the
scene and 30 or more firemen who
entered the basement OF 101 Chambers
street. where the fire started, were
overcome by smoke.
Fireman John Rheinhart missed his
way in leaving the cellar and was
taken u unconscious. He died in an
ambulance on the way to a hospital.
Rheinhart was taken from the cellar
by Fireman j. j. Murray and John
OConnell. They were both overcome
by smoke while rescuing Rheinhart
and had to be taken To the hospital.
The first floor OF 161 Chambers street,
In the basement Of which the fire
started, was occupied by Robert GER
as n paper warehouse. As soon as the
firemen got into the cellar they were
Immediately overcome. Rcscuing par
ties were formed of policemen. citizens
and firemen, who carried the uncon-
scious men out of danger.
General ambulance calls were sent
out for ambulanccs. When the ambu-
lance and "A corps Of extra doctors ar
rived, they found men lying about on
all sides unconscious
The flames spread up through the
building rapidly. The windows of the
upper floors, used for cold storage,
were boarded up and greatly ham
pered the firemen in their work.
At IL o'clock two floors fell with a
crash. At midnight the flames broke
through the roof of 1863 Chambers
street and at a late hour were still con-
suming the building. Lines of nose mad
been run through the adjoining build
ings and water was pouring upon the
flames. 1t is said that there were 1907
600 cases of eggs. containing so dozen
each. in the cold storage warehouse.
These will probably be a total loss.
