tion a Warm Welcome.
The Volunteers viii Probably Reach This
City Saturday, Sept. q

IL is planned to give the Twenty
sixth regiment, United States volun-
teers, big reception when 1t visits

state function. Yesterday Gov. Dyer
telegraphed TO Col. Rice to ascertain.
IL possible. what time the regiment will
probably reach Providence and the ma
ture OF the reception that would be
pleasing to the officers and men.
Ii Is the desiie of the governor TO
follow as far az possible the wishes OF
the commanding officer and men In this
regard. Until he receives a reply from
Col. Iiice he wiz necessarily do little
toward arranging for the reception that
the people of the city and state VIII
extend To the men who are going out to
the Philippines. over 250 OF the enlist
ed men are from Rhode Island and
Southern Massachusetts,. While they
may not be given an elaborate banquet
IL is certain that lunch OF SOME kind
will be given.
The regiment is to leave Plattsburg,
N. Y, on Friday, September /. and II
will probably parade in Boston oa the
same day, and ii is thought that Sat-
urday. September 2, would be the day
when the regiment would arrive in

NARROW ESCAPE.
Dr. Johnson's Family Had to Flee
From Burning House.
Coachman Rescued From the Roof BY Fire.
men---Damage About $4,000.

Fire broke out shortly before o'clock
this morning in the two-story residence
OF DIR. Waiter III. Johnson, on Main
street, Pawtucket, and the flames had
gained considerable headway before
the members of the family were awak-
ened. They had scarcely time TO escape
from the burning building, scantlly
clothed.

building He was brought down in safe
| ~ by the fremen, but he had a very
narrow escape. The fire was soon ex-
| tinguished
The fire was discovered by a neigh
Dor and Motorman Ernest Manley OF
| the Main street electric route. and as
soon as he reached the house Mr. Man
ley attempted to awaken the occupants
OF the lower floor, but he had great diff
hculty In doing SO. DR.. Johnson was H.
nally aroused and he informed the car
men that his brother-fn-law, John
Moore, was sleeping on the upper floor,
where the fire appeared to be in great
er volume. Conductor George E. Bray
ton then rushed upstairs to awaken
Moore. Ut although he kicked the door
anu pounded Tor SeNeral minutes he
was unable to make Moore hear the
racket.
In the meantime the conductor had
rung In an alarm, and the firemen re-
sponded promptly, but Brayton still
persisted In his efforts TO save Moore
When he could no longer stand the
smoke and heat, Conductor Brayton
groped his way to the lower floor and in
order TO save Moore from suffocation
he and Manley climbed on TO the front
porch and from there TO the roof of the
bay window. From this point IL was
possible for him 10 reach the window "
the room occupied by the hostler. and
the glass was broken the crash arous-
ing the sleeper. He was then assisted
from the window and to the ground, al
though he persisted i'm remaining in the
room until he secured some Of his cloth

The damage 10 the house will proba-
bly, amount 10 abort $4,000 and the loss
on the furniture of DR.. Johnson and
Mr.. Emerson is about $1,000 each. No
one appears TO have any idea of how
the fire originated.

PRIVATE MAILING CARDS.


Last June the post ONCE Depart
ment authorized the issuance OF what
was to be known as the private mall
ing cards" which were TO be similar TO
the postal car~s, and to conform 10 cer-
tain specifications similar to those OF a
postal card. The idea was 10 nave IL
so that various firms could print tnelr
own cards putting on them anything
they wished a name or an adVertlse
ment and having them of any color ana
by stampin ing them private malllhS
card" have them mailable Tor one cent
IL is said that this privilege has peen
abused and, that instead OF making
these cards to conform to the specliica-
tions prescribed. some merchants nave
been senling cards of all kinds ana de-
scriptions through t%e mails ana by
marking them Private mailing caro-
have been enabled to send them Tor one
cent. where before the passage or the
law IL would have cost them two cents.
The department has decided 10 stop
this practice and by an order received
at the local post office yesterday, here
after cards not conforming TO the sPeei-
fications will be unmailable, even
though they are st.nnped private mail

The decision Will affect quite num-
Der OF business men who have been

coup in the struggle with the Minneap.

the fight between the two roads, instead
of being ended, has seemingly just be-

work had been done, when Saturday a

peared from Fonda and proceeded to
relay the track which had been torn up
by the Minneapolis and St. Louis in vio-

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The long
pending reciprocity treaty negotiations
between the United States and France
were brought to a successful close at the
state department. late yesterday after
noon, when Ambassador Cambon in be-
half of France and Commissioner Kas-
son in behalf of the United States af-
fixed their signatures to the treaty. 1t
is by far the most important treaty con-
Guided under the reciprocity provisions
of the Dingley law, and the only one af-
fecting the trade with large CONNER

The negotiations were marked by
rather sharp and long continued discus

the signatures were placed on the docu-
ment. In the end each side yielded
something. The general effect of the
treaty will encourage commerce between
the two countries. The regular rates
will be maintained on wines.
