Exciting Scene on West
minister Street.
CRY OF FIRE WAS RAISED
Women and Children Made Mad
Rush For a Place Of Safety.
EXCITED ITALIAN THE CAUSE.

The wild shrieks OF women and children,
the fearful cry of fire and the sound Of crash
ing glass transfixed the hundreds Of persons
between Union and Dorrance streets on West
Minister street just before 3 o'clock this after
noon and for n few u oments it appeared as
though fearful catastrophe had happened
right in the heart OF the city.
After the first terrible sound Of danger scores
of women and children poured out OF the
front OF Kirby's FIVE cent store near the cor
ner OF Westminster and Eldy streets. Police
men and cit zens rushed to the scene AMI the
widest kind of excitement prevailed. At
first it was hought large number of persons
had been killed or wounded. lat after tue ex-
clement had subsided somewhat II was as
certained that no one Was seri usly hurt
The escapa WAS little less tn an q pirl-
Gle, becruse there we're moro than 15Opsr-'
sons in tfe store wren the firsf shout of
IRE star ted tpe serrible spaDic. Yhe clerks
In the store NUNS ered more than 20 and
there were more than hun dred custom
ers all unconscious or danger.
The cry Of fire made the panic, NJ
though it was not the original cause OF
the stampede. A wild behaving Itslisn
VINO insitsei In setting out OF the store
frightened "a tiinid woman who bslieved
that he was about to draw knife TO
carve his wav out. Size screamsd and
the will motions OF the man and tire
alarmed woman set the otner customers
in the place in frenzy. In twi king
there was great c0mmotion. Some one
h,uted fire and this was the mat ch that
made she panic.
The clerks behaved like rational be-
ings but they were unable to withstand
tte pressure and with @ Others were
pressed toward the front of the store.
There was n sponge stand and some other
articles in front, and they wero borne
along by the peopls. They Llocksd up the
pssssgs way and escape appeared to Ia
out of.
Then cane the terrible screaming. A
man on the outside had his wits about
hin, and seeing that the crowd was pom
ned In by the stuff In front OF the store he
broke In the glass To the doors and with
another man jumped into the store and
pushed the blockading stun away. Then
the doors were opened and the crowd
surged out. In The fright several er-
sons were Knocked down and tramp1sd
on. One old man Was under pile or
humanity md he came near being killed,
but he was rescu, q IN ths nick OF time.
In the meantime the back way was opened
and the clerks fled out In good order.
The goods on the heavily laden counters
were swept off in the rush and for few
minutes 1t seemed rs though kirby's big stock
was to he reduced to powder. Perishable
goods were ground into the floor and breaking
glass underfoot added to the terror Of the
panic stricken and helpless persons.
All the trouble was over in ten minutes,
but while 1t lasted IL wos the most awful
thing seen In Westminster street for years.

Minister Polo Has Been Ignored.

The British ambassador, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has been much amused at pub
lished reports that he had been asked by
the State Department tc have Minister
Polo, Spain's former representative here,
expelled from Canada on the ground that he
was directing a system of spying. The sub
ject never has been mentioned between the
State Department and the ambassador.
The State Department officials have paid
no attention to Minister Polo's movements
since he left here From the standpoint of
the British officials, Senior Polo's co'rse in
Canada may be open to criticism in the
matter of good taste and diplomatic usage,
hut II does not involve any breach of law
which could receive attention at the hands
of the British authorities.
