$5O0,0OO FIRE IN
 NEW YORK CITY

New York, November 2S.-Half q mil- fire this afternoon in the vicinity of Ninth street and East River. Several fremen were hurt, but none seriously.
 The blaze started in the plant of W. F. Uptegrove & Bros, manufacturers of boxes. veneers and fine wood work and this firm was the principal sufferer, One of its buildings was a seven story struc- ture, while those surrounding 1t were enc story buildings. All the Uptegrove's property was destroyed. The Standard oil Company's depot nearby was drained of thousands of gallons of oil into the river, this being done to save explosions in the reservoirs. tts
 After the fire was thought to be under cor trol it broke ou. again aId spread to the works of the Mutual Gas Company. This outbreak was caused fy a fireman dropping burning window sash into the street. The street was flooded with wa ter on which was thick e ating of oil. This ignited and the flames leaped into the Gas Company's property. The fire then turned back across the street, and the immense store of lumber owred by Hegemeyer X Sons was ignited. It conn prised about 1s.OO0,00O feet of valuable wood. The lumber yards of J. M Saul psugh were also reached ty the flames and great damage done.
 Fire Chief Croker estimated late tonight that the total damage would aggregate a million dollars. He estimated that the loss of J. M Saulpaugh would be s125,0Oc; Will Bi m F.. Jptegrove above s350, ,000; Mutual Gas Company Sl0o,0O0: G. M. Hagemeyer s160,000; Standard O'l Company al50 900.

ENGLAND FALLING
 BEHIND IN TRADE Seymour Bell ExpOund8 His
 Views on America BRITISH MACHINERY OLD American Goods Are Better and Cheaper and British Colonies
 Will Not Pay Great Brit
 ain Higher Prices.
BRITISH MACHINERY OLD

London, November 2S.-Sixteen reporters and six British business men gathered this afternoon. in response to the London Chamber of Commerce's general invita- ton, to hear Seymour Bell, the commer- cial agent of Great Britain in the United States, expound his views on American trade competition.
 He said that all America wanted from abroad was daily getting smaller, but that Great. Britain was being cut out even of this small portion of the market by France and Germany. MT. Bell attrib- uted this to Great Britain's backward ness in using labor-saving and automatic machinery. He declared the working classes of Great Britain must be edu. cated up to them and be convinced that their use was essential before Great Brit ain could compete with America.
 MT. Bell also said there was no doubt that the reciprocity movement in the United tSates would result in the re- moval or reduction of many of the duties now enforced. but 1t wouId be in the case of articles in which the United States was quite safe from foreign eompeti- tion.
 Mr., Bell said there was growing need for tea and Scotch whisky in the United States. The statement disclosed the fact that India and Ceylon tea merchants had entered into a pooling arrangements for the purpose of promoting the sale of their brands in the United States. The com mercial agent denied the statement that American cement was inferior to Port land cement. One of the few merchants present declared that American trade was completely busting British trade from Central and South America.
 Discussing what became of old men In America, MT. Bell said that a man over A5 years old had work to get any posi- ton there and that this was one of the serious factors of the American business life Scotch whisky, fit was also said, is now being made in New York and ex- ported in large quantities to South America.
 MT. Bell reassured his hearers that there was no prejudice against British goods, only they could not expect them to be bought, as inz the case of agricul- tural machinery the American article was lighter, more durable and cheaper. Nor could the colonies be blamed for patronizing America in preference to Great Britain in this branch of machin- cry. He praised the specialization adopt ed by American manufacturers and con cluded with declaring that while nothing could be rem edied which existed to pre- vent Great Britain from holding her own, manufacturers in Great Britain must use more modern machinery and must com pei their employees to use it.

AMBASSADOR WHITE TALKS

London, November 2S.-Three hundred guests assembled this afternoon for the Thanksgiving dinner given under the aus pices of the American Society in London. John Morgan Richards was in the chair
 Paul Cambon the French ambassador to Great Britain proposed the health of President Roosevelt, Henry White, the United States Charge D'Affaires, re- sponded to the toast 'The Charge D'Affaires" proposed by Justice Walton. M. Cambon paid a feeling tribute to the late President Mckinley, whose death, he said, had shocked France and knit the sist CT republics in closer bonds of sym pathy and sorrow.
 While President Roosevelt was an un- known quantity in the world, said MT. Cambon, his was a cultured, energetic and charming personality and his eleva- tion to the Presidency had been received in France with the happiest antieipations of carrying on those cordial relations which had existed between the two coun- tries for over century past.
 Justice Walton paid high tribute to MT. Whites efforts to promote good feeling between Great Britain and the United States. MT. White in replying, said he had long been acquainted with the cor dial feeling Great Britain entertained for the United States. MT. White said he hoped to be forgiven if he referred to that American prosperity which made the Secretary of the United States Treasury the envy of every secretary in the world. If Americas friendship for Great Brit ain was pronounced this did not mean, went on Mir. White that Americans held any less cordial feelings toward France or any other nation of the world. MT. White then spoke highly of President Roosevelt.
 Conan Doyle, the novelist. produced perhaps the greatest effect of the evening by declaring the pendulum of the British world had now shifted to somewhere be- tween New York and Chicago.
 There is no use in disgusting this im- portant fact" continued MT. Doyle. "yet if the English speaking races should be world would soon see how quickly these same English speaking people would close up their ranks and march shoulder to shoulder for the advancement of civili- zation."
 When Anthony Hope, the novelist, spoke, he said the only thing which re- mained to be done to bind the nations more closely together was for some one to find a common denominator for English and American jokes.
 Admiral Sir Edmund Fremantle re- ferred to the friendly relations existing between the navies of Great Britain and the United States.

SWITCHMEN HAVE
 LOST THE STRIKE
NEW MEN WERE OBTAINED YES- TERDAYN AND RAILROAD OPEL ciALs SAY THAT BY TODAY THE STRIKE WILL BE WON.

Pittsburg, November 2s.-The switch mems strike gives evidence today of rapid disintegration, and by tomorrow morning the officials of the different roads terminal in Pittsburg declare that traffic will be resumed as usual.
 This result is attributed largely to the action of the Brotherhood of Trainmen at their two meetings yesterday in de- ciding against assistance and sympathy for the strikers.
 At the yards of the Baltimore and Ohio the officials reported full crews at work today and everything proceeding satis- faotorily. Nearly 100 men from sub divisions of the road were brought in yesterday and these with the other men who were sent to the Pittsburg and Western yards, at Willow Grove, and to the Pittsburg Junction road.
 The Pittsburg and Western officials re- ported the regular number of crews at work. with trains moving as usual
 A number of the old men, they say, had applied for their former positions but were refused work.
 The Allegheny Valley Railroad tracks were filled with foreign cars, but not to the same extent as yesterday.
 The Pittsburg and Lake Erie superin- tendent said all crews, were working full today.
 The Pennsylvania officials stated that the strike had practically been settled and most of the men had returned to work.
 A report from McKeesport tonight says that at a meeting of the switchmen a general strike order was issued for that city. This will call out ten crews on the Baltimore and Ohio and twenty crews employed by the tube works and the Monongahela furnaces. It was said to- night that Superintendent English at Versailles was compelled to make up the trains himself owing to the strike
 The striking railroad switchmen held an exciting meeting tonight in McKees- port. There were over 800 strikers and sympathizers present. At the meeting 149 new members were initiated into the Switchmen's Union of North America. Of these 11s were memberssof the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen.

clared the Alabamians to be offsIde and put the ten yard penalty to them. This carried the ball to the twenty-five yard line and after three downs he called aps other offside play and started 70 give the Tennessee team ten yards more when the crowd rushed upon the field and stopped the game.
 CRITICISM OF
 THE TWO TEAMS. From the beginning 1t was evident that the Alabama line was weak and they put up a very poor defensive game. When on the offensive coach Harvey had taught them Auburn's tactics and they played swift ball. Their end run ming frequently failed as the backs went too far behind the interference and were caught behind the line. They also tack led high and did not play low enough in the line.
 Tennessee has the making of a great team, but showed a lack of thorough coaching. Their bucking was excellent and the hurdling of Buckingham was the prettiest exhibition of it's kind ever seen in the South. The Tennesseans were a little slow in getting in the game. but their weight told heavily in breaking up the interference. Their tackle plays were excellent.
 If proper protection is guaranteed 1t is probable the two teams will play in Blr mingham again next season.

 rushes of the mountainers. When abuck was stopped the men from Knoxville would change tactics and Buckingham was sent leaping over the line like a steeple chaser. He is the best and per- haps the only. hurdler ever seen on the Birmingham field and the Tuscaloosa rooters looked on in amazement as the doughty Tennessean jumped the line for eight and ten yard gains.
 By this heavy hammering at Alabama's 8 line Tennessee carried the ball over the line within ten minutes from the kick off and neatly placed the ball between the goal posts running up score of 6 to 0. Alabama made a great delense of her goal and for two plays the ball was stopped dead. The third time Brong dropped back behind the line and with a good grip on the pigskin made a lunge at the red and white line and the ball was safely downed on the other side.

'ITlFUL EXPRESSION
 ON FACE OF HOOTERS.

Pitifui looks were displayed on three thousand Alabama faces and the men from Tuscaloosa begun to wonder how they would break the news to those at home. On the next kickoff a little Ala bamian caught the hau, md after run ming fifteen yards, passed 1t to the man behind him, and he cerried 1t just fifteen mere. This pretty play gave them re- newed hope, and in few minutes a neat little hole was discovered ir the Tennes- see line ' and an Alabama back was hui led through it for five val ds. The next man who tried 1t was tackled back of the line, and with two more plays the ball went over Tennessee played unlucky, and lost on a tumble during the third down. A long kick followed, and the bali went wfirling over the goal line. This is known as touchback, pu. no more Is counted, the opposing team being al- owed to bring the ball back twenty-five ysi ds and kicked it off. Alabama brought it back, but the kick was blocked, and what looked to be ar offside play went unnoticed by the umpire. Here the Tus- caloosians got on thc;S playing clothes and the left half-back gained fifteen yards or trick buck. The applause was deaf ening, and five more yards were torn through the line by main strength and awkwardness. On a quarterback trick Drennen took the ball around risAt end for ten yards, and the crowd was wild.

Then came the gre atest play of the game. Foreman, who was calling the signals ordered himself to luck, and with the guards and tackles clearing an open ins for him, he tore through the Tennes sec line, escaped all the packs and ends and dashed thiI ty-fve yards towards the coveted goal line. Buckingham went after him and being trife f1eeter of foot made a flying tackle and caught the Alabamian ten yards from the line. It was ten minutes before the excited and jubilant crowd could be torn from around the players, but they finally backed off. and with three bucks the ball was given to Stewart, and he plunged between the goal posts for a touchdown. Drennen kicked the goal and time was called with in one minute thereaft CT.
