cuBA's PARTIAL VICTORY.
House Committee Decides on Tariff


Washington, Feb. 24.-The republi.
can members of the ways and means
committee, who have been considering
the question of concessions to Cuba at
several meetings during the week.
have finally reached an agreement
which is considered victory for those
who have favored tariff concessions to
that island. The action taken was the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the majority members of this commit
tee (subject to the approval of the re-
publican members of the house in
caucus assembled, to be held as prac-
ticable), that the committee report a
bill in substance authorizing the presi-
dent to negotiate a reciprocity treaty
lished, providing for the entry of our
products into Cuba upon such terms
as shall be deemed by him to be adj
vantageous to us; provided, however,
that such treaty shall secure for our
products going into Cuba duties less
than those allowed to other countries
substantially equivalent to the conces-
sions made by us; that the considera-
ton upon our part for such treaty
shall be concession of 20 per cent
of our tariff duties upon imports, the
products of Cuba, upon this condition:
That Cuba first shall enact our immi.
grafton laws
By the terms of this resolution the
proposition agreed on by the republi
can members of the committee will be
! submitted to republican caucus
This action is practically the propo
sition submitted few days ago by
Representative Long of Kansas, ex
cept that the amount of the concession
is cut in half. and the condition pre-
cedent-that Cuba enact our immigra
ton laws-is added. The action by the
committee was preceded by confer
ence at the white house between the
president and Representative Grosve
nor of Ohio, Russell of Connecticut
and Dalzell of Pennsylvania, all OF
whom have heretofore stood out
against any form of reciprocity provis
ions. The action of the republican
members was unanimous.

THIRTEEN WERE KILLED.
Third Disaster of the Year on Park
Avenue.

Avenue.
| New York, Feb. 24.-For the third
time since New Years day Park ave-
nue., this city, was the scene of loss
of human life. First was the collision
in the New York Central tunnel at
Fifty-siXth street and Park avenue;
second came the dynamite explosion
in the Rapid Transit subway at Forty
first street, and the third, Saturday,
was a fire which started in the Sew.
enty-first regiment armory, at Thirty.
third street, and then spread to the
Park Avenue hotel, where thirteen
persons were killed and many injured.
1t was the worst hotel fire since the
Windsor was destroyed. The fire was
first seen at about 1880 in the morn
ing, in the armory, and in remarkable
short time that building was aflame
from end to end.
The firemen made their way as best
they could through the streets, deep
with slush, and did all possible to con-
fine the fire to the armory; but after
they had been at work an hour the
discovery was made that the hotel was
on fire. The hotel was crowded with
guests who had come to attend the
festivities in honor of Prince Henry.
More than 500 persons were in the
hotel.
The fire was confined principally to
the fifth and sixth floors near the
elevator shaft About the time the
hotel was found to be on fire the lights
went out and the corridors were filed
with smoke. The guests, unable to
find their way through the darkened
hallway, jumped from windows or ran
directly into the fame-swept portions
of the building. It is this fact that ac-
counts for the large loss of life, al.
though the hotel was not destroyed.
