SEVERAL MARROW ESCAPES
Buildings and Stocks Complete Losses. Property Owned By John w.
 TomInson and Mrs.
 John o. Turner.

In fire which broke out at 2:4o o'clock this morning in two four-story brick buildings in First avenue, between Twen- tieth and Twenty-frst streets several persons had narrow escapes from death. One man was dragged from his bed al- most overcome by smoke.
 The buildings are located between the large structure on the corner of Twenty first street, occupied by Chamblee Bros, and the Office building. The fire started on the third floor. and spread rapidly. The loss will amount to about sSa 900. The two buildings are valued at $24,0OO and s1o,0OO and will probably cover the losses of the occupants. At 3:45 o'clock only the front walls of the buildings re- main standing. The back walls fell in at o'clock. The adjoining buildings were not damaged to any extent.
 The lower floors of the buildings are oc-
 
 cupied by w. D. Colby & Co.,, wall pa- per and art store. at 2O2S. and L. P. spivey, picture store at POPS.
 Discovered by Operator.
 The fire was discovered by Dan Thomp- son, a postal telegraph operator, who had just gotten off from work at 2:SO o'clock. He saw flames eating through the rear of the building. Rushing up to the front he saw portion of the top floor fall in.
 He then ran across the street into the fruit stand at the corner of First avenue and Twenty-first street and tele- phoned the fire department When the first engine arrived the flames were bulg- ing through the roof and columns of heavy black smoke issued from the rear windows of the building.
 The upper floors of the building were occupied as sleeping apartments by men, Leon Du Clos was the first of the occu- pants to be aroused. He saw that the room on the third floor occupied by Prof lessor Judge was in flames. Rushing from apartment to apartment he warned each occupant of danger. All lost their personal effects and escaped in the scan tiest attire. MT. Foraker occupied the third floor front room and was we'll nigh overcome by smoke when aroused by Du Clos.
 Dragged From Bed.
 Foraker was dragged from his bed to the door and carried down the steps. He lost all of his wearing apparel and per- sonal property. W. Weissvorn and D. Fleming. Jr., had rooms in the building They barely had time to grab anything in reach for covering and run down the steps.
 The building No. 2023 occupied by w. D. Colby is owned by John w. Tomlin- son, the well-known attorney. MT. Tom linson gave a rough estimate on the

 No solution as to the cause of the fire could be offered this morning. On ac- count of it's starting in the upper portion of the building the fire department had a difficult fight
 Series of hose were dragged up the steps between the two structures but the flremen were soon driven back by the heat and smoke. ladder was later hoisted in front and streams blazed upon the seething interior. When the ceilings began to fall through the in- f1amable materials in the picture and wall paper stores were quick to catch. What stock left untouched by the flames was soaked with water.
 The books and accounts in both stores were gotten out, and an attempt was made to save some of the stock. but the police ordered thesworkers out when glass and terra cotta began to play tatto up- on the sidewalk One man had his coat burned by flying spark.

INLAND REPUBLIC Is A GOOD Gus
TONER OFF THE UNITED
STATES
SALES ARE ABOUT $14,ooo.ooO
Increase Could Be Made If Proper
Steps Were Taken and Goods
and Prices Were
Right.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-One Of the
most interesting extracts from the vol
ume entitled Commercial Relations Of
the United States for 1900," was made
public today by Frederick Emory, chief
of the bureau of foreign commerce, ste5a
department, dealing with United Statcs
trade in Switzerland Consul Clifford,
stationed at Basel, says that Switzer-
lands trade figures are especially note
worthy, showing that this diIninutive
republic, about half as large as the state
of Maine, and which would be swallowed
up in our big Texas Is commercially the
most highly developed part Of the world.
Not even industrious Holland, or Bel
GUM, says the consul, can display the
astounding figure of $3.50 of foreign COM
merce for every unit of it's population OK
barely 100000 reached by Switzerland.
These remarkable results have been at
tanned by a country without seaports,
without coal or iron, in fact, without
any considerable quantity of raw ma
terial for the manufactures it has to sell.
According to Consul Morgan, at Aarau,
Switzerland, is almost wholly dependent
upon the outside world for her well-be-
ing, 30 per cent of her entire importa-
tions consisting Of foodstuffs, and 10 per
cent being raw material, which Is re-
exported in the shape Of manufactured
goods.
OF the nations trading with Switzer-
land, Mr.. Morgan says, that Germany
is far in the lead, the United States
standing fifth in rank. Our trade with
Switzerland has not been growing of
late, q decline being noted in our eX-
port of food products. Our manufac-
tured goods, however, have shown an
increase, our bicycles and dried fruits
particularly outstripping other foreign
articles in the little republic. Our sales
in Switzerland, according to Consul Gif-
ford, are much more important than are
commonly supposed, amounting in some
years to $14,000000. The consul notes that
since the termination of the commercial
treaty between the United States and
Switzerland, in last November, Ameri-
can goods have been subjected to the
general tariff of Switzerland. He says,
however, that the new tariff does not
seriously affect our trade as a whole,
although the rate on shoes, bicycles,
cast iron manufactures, flour and dried
fruits has advanced, and in some cases
doubled
Although the Germans have the lions
share of the trade, Vice Consul Frank
enthal, at Berne, says there is no rea-
son why a portion of their trade could
not be taken from them, provided the
goods and prices are right.
