SIX FIREMEN HURT
IN PITTSBURG FIRE

Pittsburg, Oct g. - Fire today in the
Pittsburg Clay Pot Works in Allegheny
damaged the plant to the extent of about
$2SO000, injured six men and enforced an
idleness of several months upon force
of 1865 workmen.
The injured men were firemen, who
were on the roof of the boiler house when
the wall fell and they were carried with
it,. None of them will die. The fire orig
mated in the boiler room from an I'M
known cause, and quickly burned it's way
through into the upper floors, used as a
drying room and kept at a high tempera-
ture. From there they communicated to
block No, 8, and it was soon reduced to
ruins.
Secretary William Mcmillan, secretary
and general superintendent of the COM
pany, rates the loss at about $2S0,000, on
which there is $1S600O insurance. The
works were built in three divisions,
known as blocks No. 1, 2 and g. Block
No. l remains intact, but the other two
are complete losses, together with most
of the machinery.
The immense gas tank of the Philadel-
phia Company, recently erected, contain
ing 100000 cubic feet of gas, was within
100 feet of the fiercest of the flames and
prodigious efforts had to be made to save
it from explosion

in their struggle against poverty and
sickness. She has the longest part in
the play, but she carries scenes with
lengthy dialogue and full of dramatic
action without hesitation or break. Her
naturalness and freedom from any
thing that would seem to have been
learned, is wonderful, and in her pa
thetic scenes the free use of handker-
chiefs attest how effectual her work is.
She is a great favorite as the many
presents she receives, and the desire
manifested by ladies to meet her
amply testifies.

bers Of the directorate. representing 81
per cent of the interests, appealed to the
United States for redress against Salvador
The position of that country. as it is now
being brought before the State Depart
ment, is that the controversy is one per-
tanning essentially to Salvador. and should
be settled according to the laws of that
country. Questions of good faith in the
company's execution of the concession have
also been raised, one of the points being
that a certain bridge forming a part of
the project fell of it's own weight before
traffic had gone over it.
Aside from the points directly involved
in this case, it is being urged on general
principle that the United States should be
loath to intervene in claims against the
central and southern countries. as each is
sovereign nation, and should be left free
to adjust it's own controversies with in
dfviduals taking up residence there.
In case the State Department determines
to intervene the first step will probably be
by means of mild request for adjustment,
with further and more emphatic demands
to follow if conditions warrant it.

TO TAX TRANSVAAL MINES
BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO RAISE
S25O,OOO, 900 THERE.
RecOmm en ndatiOn Expected to Cause
CONSERVATION Among the
Holders of kafErs.

NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to the
World from London says: The British gov
ernment has decided to levy $3.50. 100000 on
the Transvaal gold mines to pay half the
cost of the war.
Sir David Barbour, formerly finance min
lister for India, who was commissioned to
report upon the taxable capacity of these
mines. advised Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain to levy $40. 100000, but Mr.. Cham
berlain, after consultation with Lord Mil
ner, increased the maximum to the amount
stated.
Barbour's report is awaited here with the
keenest interest in political and financial
circles.
This recommendation is certain to cause
CONSERVATION among the Kaffir stockhold-
ers. who fancied that the idea of taxing the
mines, which are mostly owned in England
had been abandoned.
AS these very gold mines were the real
underlying cause of the war. many have
maintained that their British owners
should be made to bear large share, at
least, of its heavy burden.

COMPLAINTS FILED.
Police Investigating Charges Against
EmpIOyment Agencies.

Capt. Boardman has received many COM
plants during recent weeks about certain
persons who conduct employment agencies
in this city, two such being received this
morning. In many of the cases the people
making complaint are unable to read or
write. although some of them are fully able
to read and understand just what they are
doing when they sign agreements.
Because of the manner in which some of
the agreements are worded the police think
they are misleading. A charge OF from 81
to 50 is made. and most of those who have
entered complaints at headquarters declare
they were actually promised employment
and did not get it. The police have had n
number Of such cases investigated but the
prosecuting attorney has failed to find
where he could make case against the
people about whom the reports were made.
