SOCIALIST MAYORS.
They Visit New York City and Make
A Good Impression.


Mayors Chase, of Haverhill, and
Coulter, of Brockton, Mass, have just
been the guests of the Social Demo
cratic Club, at Manhattan Lyceum, in
New York. They are the only Social
list Mayors in the United States, and
Socialist Labor men are rejoicing
greatly over their visit. They prom
Use to make another visit next year,
bringing with them more Mayors and
other public officials of the same
creed. They are both Americans by
birth, young in years and intelligent.
Mayor Chase says that he remembers
the time when people laughed at the
pretensions of Socialists, and said
they would never be able to win an
election. Yet he has been elected
twice and the second time was chos-
en- over a combination of Republi-
cans, Democrats and Prohibitionists.
1T used to be predicted" he said,
that our movement would be a thing
of the past before we sent single
Socialist to the Legislature. Well, we
have two members to our party in
the State House of Massachusetts,
and we have, besides, six men on the
Municipal Board of Haverhill-a town
with 10000 population-and three in
the Municipal Board of Brockton,
which is a centre of the shoemaking
industry like my town, and has a pop.
ulation of about the same size. I'm
cool headed Yankee, but tell you it's
growing like wild fire. Haverhill and
Brockton and the surrounding towns
are full of Socialism, and other places
are catching on rapidly.'

LOSS OF A MILLION.
a Great Fire and Thrilling Rescue In
Newark, N. j.

The largest fire that Newark ever
experienced swept through the retail
TRY goods district Feb. 81 destroying
II score or more of buildings. The loss
Is estimated at $1,000,000 Several
lives may have been lost, and several
persons were badly burned.
The flames started about half-past
six o'clock in the basement of the
five story dry goods house of w. V.
Snyder & Co., on the northwest cor
her of Broad and Cedar streets. and
In less than five minutes had run up
through the elevator shaft. spreading
through every floor, and developed in
to the biggest fire in the history of
the city in its business district.
Just how the fire started no one
could tell. Snyder's stores had been
closed for business only half an hour
before. There were two employees re.
naming on the ground floor. and one
superintendent, o. o. Shackleton, on
the third floor. A puff of smoke was
seen near the first floor elevator open.
ing. and message was sent for a
chemical engine Before it arrived the
lanes burst through the entire struc-
ture, and the two men on the first
floor fled for their lives. One of them.
Watson Snyder, cashier, left his coat
behind him.
The man on the third floor could
hot escape. He ran frantically from
one end of the building to the other
until the flames hemmed him into
small space near window on the
Cedar street side.
He opened the window, shouted for
help and was about to jump. when
Policeman Welsh and several others
called to him to wait. as a ladder
truck was then dashing to the spot
and only block away. He waited
though the flames scorched his back
and caused him to scream from fright
and pain. The crew of hook and lad.

Ger, and even before it was steadied
men were climbing to the rescue.
When they reached Shackleton his
clothing was ablaze from head to foot.
and he was scarcely able to help him
self. He was gotten out through the
window, and then with firemen above
and below him and another keeping
pace with him by climbing down the
under side of the ladder he was ia
ken safely to the street.
Snyder's loss is 100000. and other
losses will bring up the total to 81 900.

The members of the several delega-
tons from Puerto Rico now in Wash
ngton, having read the compromise
measure adopted at the Republican
conference, have united in a state
ment to Congress, in which they say
that the idea and theory of a tariff
is repugnant to them, and that they
are content to stand before their peo-
pie and the people of the United
States on the general broad PROPOSE
ton that the island is entitled to re-
ceive absolutely free commercial re-
lations at once.
The second conference of the House
Republicans upon the Puerto Rican
Tariff bill resulted in an agreement to
modify the measure so that the duty
should be Is per cent of the present
tariff rates. and that the operation of
the bill should be limited to two
years Moreover. a declaration is to be
attached to the bill that it is relief

Admiral Dewey that the forces op-
posed to his fleet at the battle of Man.

Court declared that the law did not
contemplate the land forces opposed
to a fleet in such an engagement. The
American fleet is therefore, entitled
to prize money at $500 per man of
the enemy's fleet the rate allowed
when fighting an enemy of equal
strength. The Admirals share of this
will be $3.50.

FRICK-CARNEGIE.
Both Sides Preparing to Fight to the
End

End.
President C. NJ. Schwab, of the Car
negie Steel Company, has arrived in
Pittsburg from New York, and was at
his Office Feb. %, receiving but few
callers. He declined to express any
views on the equity suit brought
against the company by H. G. Prick
to recover S10,000,000, and the result
of his conference with Andrew Carne-
gle in New York remains a matter of
conjecture.
1t was expected that some important
meetings will be held on both sides
of the case, and developments are
eagerly awaited. Mr.. Carnegie has sue
cinctly outlined all the details concern
ing the policy to be pursued in the
suit, and the answer will probably be
filed without further instructions from
the steel magnate.
One of the most interesting features
just at present is the contemplated
suit involving the coke contract, and
there is wellgrounded opinion
among those more or less directly con-
cerned that the papers will be filed
at once. Prick will hold aloof FROM
this action for time
Little credence is placed in the re-
port that negotiations are pending to
have the coke suit dropped. No over
lures have been made in this direc-
ton. and it is thought the minority
stockholders of the Frick Coke Com
pany will be unit in favor of prose
cutting the case.
The expectations of those who an
ticipated Mr.. Carnegie's early arrival
in Pittsburg received a severe setback
when Mr.. Schwab came along. and it
is now considered probable that sew
eral weeks may elapse before Mr..
Carnegie returns and takes personal
charge of his forces.
