General Superintendent OF Prisons
Fred c. Pettigrove sold that while the
new act would be practicable in prisons
where there are a large number OF
inmates. 1t would be entirely imprac-
ticable In the small institutions Of the
state.
George r. Mcneil, the vetran labor
leader and the father of the eight-houi

labor, and said: THE main point Is

Two Persons Burned 60 Death and Two
Others Severely Scorched.
Detroit, May 3.-Two persons were
burned to death and two others very
s~ariously burned in a comparatively
small condagration Saturday evening.
The burned structure was a two story
frame building on Chene street, near
Garfield avenue, occupied by e. H.
Heidels bakery. In the upper story
lived the family of Nicholas Sinig, four
members Of which were quickly sur
rounded by the flames. OF these Lena
Sinig, aged II, and Nicholas, aged 8,
were badly burned in getting down.
stairs and out Of the building.
Mrs. SING escaped by a ladder with
out injury. Lizzie Sinig, aged 20, and
her brother Anthony, aged 5, were
caught in a back room, whence they
could not reach any means of egress,
and before help arrived they had been
burned to death. One man living
across the street heard the victims
screaming, but before he could aid them
the burning roof had fallen in upon
them. From appearance of the bodies
death was caused by ~suffocation before
the flames had reached them.

GREEKS TIRED or WAR.
So Says One of the London Correspondent
at Athens.

So Says One of the London Correspondents
at Athens.
London, May 5.-The Athens CORES
pondent Of the Daily Mail says the
ministers of war and OF the interior
have returned from Pharsalos and
made their report to the cabinet. It is
understood that as the result of their
inquiry the war will be discontinued.
London, May 5.-The Athens corre-
spondent of The Daily Chronicle says
that the foreign ministers have rendered
the Intervention Of the powers to Greece,
but the government has reserved its re-
ply. A dispatch to The Daily Chronicle
from Pharsalos, dated Monday. says 1t
is rumored in the Greek camp that
will shortly be proclaimed.
The difficulty of saying what has act
ually occurred at the seat Of wal con-
tinues, but the presumption from the
known facts Of the military situation Is
that Edhem Pasha Is feeling the Greek
position at Pharsalos preparatory to de-
livering a general attack. Edhem
Pasha's repeated assaults on the wings
Of the Greek formation have probably
the object of compelling Prince Con-
stantin to send them achievements and
thus weaken his centre at Pharsalos.
We may soon, therefore, expect to hear
that Edhem Pasha has struck hard at
this weakened point.
1t looks as though Greece was giving
up the game in Crete, n the recall Of
Colonel Vassos can only be regarded as

thus regain the friendship of the pow
ers, who have always stipulated this
amende before using their good offices
at Constantinople. The appointment of
a nominal successor to Colonel Vassos

THAT WILL RAISE A HOWL
Beer Tax Put Up Fifty Per Cent.-Reci-
procity Overheard.

Beer Tax Put Up Fifty Per Cent.-Reci-
procity Overheard.
The change that will raise the biggest
howl outside Of congress is that on beer.
The brewers will be shocked at the COM
mittee marking up the tax on beer from
81 to $1.44 per barrel. This interest has
solidly refused to believe that their call
ing would be disturbed. because of the
German vote. The fact, however, is that
the whole manufacture Of beer in the
United States is largely dominated and
controlled by British capital, and that
has no vote, ~hyphenated or otherwise,
and the British-American vote don't
count; it doesn't demand recognition
The raising of the taX to $1.44 per
barrel is really an advance of about 80
cents per barrel, or so per cent. The
nominal tax is 81, but the government
allows q rebate of IL cents, bringing the
net amount down to 92h cents. The bill
specifies that added beer tax is only to
be imposed until 1900, but the thrifty
brewers, who know how much easier it
Is to keep q law off the statute books
han to get ii off after Ii Is once there,
and mindful also of the danger Of get
ting the lawmakers into the $1.A per
barrel habit, will lose no time organic
ing for a fight.
The reciprocity idea has been ADAM
doned and instead a challenge to tariff
war with Germany and other countries
is issued as follows: THAT whenever
any country, dependency, or colony shah
pay or bestow, directly or indirectly,
any bounty or grant upon the exporta-
ton of any article or merchandise from
such country, dependency, or colony,
and such article or merchandise is duti-
able under the provisions of this act,
then, upon the importation of any such
article or merchandise into the United
States, whether the same shall be i'm.
ported directly from the country Of pro-
duction or otherwise, n whether such
article or merchandise is imported in
the same condition as when exported
from the country of production or has
been changed in condition by manufact-
ure or otherwise, there shall be levied
and paid in all such cases, in addition
10 the duties otherwise imposed by this
act, an additional duty equal to the net
amount of sue bounty or grant, how
ever the same be paid or bestowed
Hawaii's reciprocity treaty Is knocked
out by the striking out of a provision in
the house bill that said treaty should
remain in force.
The lumber schedule is changed here
and there, always making the duty
lower. Many and important changes
were made in the wool and wooden
schedule. First-class woods were re-
duced from II cents per pound as pro-
vided In tn house hin, % 2 cents per
pound, and second class wools from IL
J to 9 cents, whereas the duties on woods
of the third-class were raised.

that the Western Passenger Association
will secure the membership IL desires by
June l. The executive committee has la
bored increasingly to get the roads into the

are several of the roads that have not yet
become members and there seems to be
no immediate prospect of their doing so.
The Canadian Pacific has nat yet signed
the agreement and as consequence
neither the Great Northern. nor the
Northern Pacific have joined the associa-
uon. They have practically assured
Chairman White of the executive commit
tee that they will join as soon as the Ca
madam Pacific becomes a member and
they have absolutely refused to sign the
agreement in case the Canadian Pacific
finally refuses to join.

Northern are still hanging out and they
have given no indication of their intention
The agreement of the freight men, enter
