work in the hat factory and in the silk works, the operatives almost entirely changed their clothing before begln- ming work. As result all the street clothing worn to work this morning was lost.
 The escape of the employees was re- tarded by the fact that the fire es- capes were unprovided with ladders reaching from the second floor to the ground. The ladder used for this pur- pose had been fastened alongside the escape, so that it could not be lifted to Its place. When the alarm was glV- en and it was found necessary to take to the fire escapes the word was passed to let the girls go first. The girls de- scended amid smoke and spaRks. By this time the fire had begun to attack the windows about the escape. The male operative followed the girls down the iron ladders, which were now be- ginning to heat from the fire Inside the building.
 are various estimates, the lowest of S4oo,O00, and others run up as high as So5o,0 Reed & Co. place their loss roughly at S60,000; Rowland Brothers, Pass Brothers and the Yonkers Silk company, are set down for 5O,000 each. The loss on the two buildings is esti- mated at $240000.

THE PREsIDENr,s VACATION.
He VIII Leave Washington for Lake
 Champlain To-day,

Washington, July 27.-The presiden- tial party will leave here tomorrow for the vacation on the shores of Lake Champlain The chief executive de- sires to obtain as far as possible com plete rest from official duties during his absence and for this reason it is probable that but few appointments will be made during that time. It is stated at the white house that all papers sent to the president at his summer home will be mailed to Wash ington without being opened. It is the intention that all papers intended for him shall go through the channel they have heretofore followed. The presi- dent, 1t is said, will look over no papers while he is away. and whatever ap- pointments are made will be announced here. Benjamin E. Montgomery. one of the executive clerks, will have charge of affairs at the white house during Mir. .McKinley's absence.

Cleveland, July 27.-In spite of the threatening weather there was another large crowd out at the grand circuit races to-day. The meeting is proving one of the most successful, in point of attendance, of recent years. A heavy rain fell during the forenoon, and in consequence the track was in poor con- dition. Even after it had been dragged and rolled for an hour it was said to be several seconds slow. There were three events on the card--the 2:25 trot, with Dare Devil, from Hamlin's Village Farm, as a hot favorite; the 2:10 pace. with Frank Bogash favorite and Agi- tate second choice, and the 2:25 pace. with the Massachusetts stallion Cour- ier-Journal favorite.

LAST SUNDAY IN MAY.
Grand Army Effort to Change the Date of
 Memorial Day.


 Memorial Day.
 New York, July 27.-Some members of the Grand Army of the Republic in this city aye actively engaged in pro- noting a movement for the change of the observance of Memorial day from May 30 to the last Sunday in May. AL though an act of congress will be nec- essary to effect the change, the Grand Army veterans believe that 1t can be brought about. The subject is to be submitted to the national encampment in Buffalo on August 23 next. If the encampment acts favorably upon it, it is believed that the change will be made. B. J. Atkinson, secretary of the memorial committee, said to-day:
 Memorial day is rapidly becoming day for the enjoyment of outdoor sports, excursions and picnics. It is, in fact, becoming like an ordinary holi- day, and there is danger that the true meaning of the day may be lost. There seems to me to be an inconsistency in decorating graves of a nations dead and hurrying to a ball ground or a horse race.
 At present services are held in all the churches on the Sunday preceding Memorial day. By changing the ob- servance of the day to Sunday those services will have an added meaning. and the true purpose of the day recog- niZed"

Disastrous Confiu grafton in Yonsers, N.
 y., Destroys Two Factories.
 New York, July 27.-Fire at Yonkers, N. Y.. destroyed two large factory buildings occupied by William Reed & Co.,, hat manufacturers, Rowland Brothers, hat manufacturers, Pass Brothers, silk manufacturers, and the Yonkers Silk company. The loss will probably reach half a million dollars, and eight hundred people are thrown out of employment There were no casualties, though the buildings were crowded with employees when the fire was discovered
 The fire broke out in the blowing room of the hat factory of William Reed 6, Go. on the lower floor of the shethar building on Elm street. Two large gas meters exploded immediately after the flames burst forth and the escaping gas from the meters helped to fead the flames. Within a few minutes the fire was breaking through the win dows of the first and second stories.
 
 the building. There were about 600 men and girls in the building at the time. The second story of the building was occupied by the finishing room of the factory On the third floor was the Yonkers silk factory. The fourth floor was used for storage, and on the fifth floor was the silk factory of Pass Brothers. The stairways and elevator shaft acted as suction ways for the flames and through these the fire quick ly communicated to the upper floors.
 As soon as the alarm was sounded on the whistle, the operatives on every floor made a rush for the stairways, but the smoke which rushed up these caused them to turn back and make for the fire escapes. In minute these were overcrowded. The working cloth ing of the men and girls was all they could save. Owing to the nature of the

treasury; with financial centers in full supply of loanable funds; with in- terest invitingly low; with crop pros- poets most promising and good mar ket favorably assured; with new min eral resources coming into view; with a territorial area sufficient to carry its present population many times multi piled; with people advancing in the clements of intelligence and character, who dare indulge in doleful forecasts? We need not ignore the fact that there are many wounds to be cured, excited passions to be calmed and many mis- understandings to be composed. Time will do much to restore, and the natu- ral laws, everywhere operating, will bring in at last their compensation. In the meantime our statute laws must learn, not to repress the operation of a natural law which is supreme over man-made laws, but they must learn to justly check and punish those who, grasping the new elements of power pervert them into agencies of injustice and oppression. The problems of 8 democratic society rapidly developing in all directions are many and trouble some They must be met with pa tience. We must not lose faith nor abate in courage. With malice to- ward nome, with charity for all," each unit in the mighty organism must bring to it's solution the best that is in him of virtue and intelligence. Upon the wise and great the duty weighs u,ith fno l,,+ hn humble and weak also it presses ac- cording to their measure of the respon- sibility
 The welcome to the old Bay state was made by Governor Wolcott, who also took occasion to remind the guest of Massachusetts respect for the office of secretary of the treasury, and for it's influence in the past whenever a finan- cial crisis was threatened.
 Mayor Josiah Quincy gave the citys | welcome.
 Colonel Henry l.. Higginson spoke of
 the perplexities confronting the secre- tary of the treasury and assured Mir.
 Gage that the people of New England had confidence in him, because of a characteristic in his business life which appeals strongly to them, namely com
 mon sense
 William A. Russell of Lawrence, who next spoke, made allusion to the tariff bill and his belief that finances will right themselves.
 | William B. Rice said he spoke for the gold men who did not see in the passage of the tariff bill the relief desired. He said the machinery is still in opera ton which in the past has not pre- vented financial crisis and which will
 not stop them in the future Hon. Charles s. Hanlin made viz orous plea for financial reform and his references to President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle and their work for a stable currency were enthusiastically received.
 The speaking was concluded by Hon.
 Moses Little, q bank president of this city, in endorsement of what had al ready been said
 Tonight Secretary Gage is again the guest of Hon. MT. Hamlin.
