found that the fire was getting beyond their
control and the alarm was sent. It was fol-

and almost the whole department of jersey City

The flames spread quickly to Jarvis's tobacco

could not get near the fire, and the smoke from

men got more tobacco smoke than they wished
The wind fortunately carried the fire out over
the river, and though the Erie Railroad repair

were at one time threatened. and the engines IN
the yard were set TO throwing streams OF water
on some of the threatened buildings no great
damage was done to the shops and traffic was
not interrupted.

WOMEN IMMIGRANT INSPECTORS.
Secretary Cortelyou Decides to Make the
Experiment Again
[FRoN THE TRIBUNE BUREAU ]


Washington, July 3O.-Another experiment is to
be made with women immigrant inspectors at the
port Of New-York. This time the female ship
climbers are to be selected by the Civil Service
Commission and appointed "matrons" Their

that of the women inspectors who tried
and declared failure after three months service

Secretary Cortelyou, who has had the question
of female assistants for the immigration service
under consideration for time. decided to-day
to make another trial 1t will lie the duty of the
matrons to go down the bay with the boarding
officers. climb the ships side and interview the
female passengers in the first and second class
cabins, offer advice to lone female passengers as
TO proper lodgings for them in the city, and to
apprehend, If possible. women coming to this
country for immoral purposes.
The action of Secretary Cortelyou in favor of the
woman inspectors undoubtedly Influenced by
the reports of Marcus Braun, the confidential agent
of the immigration Bureau, who has been travel
ling in Europe, and who wrote recently that there

United States to attend the ST. Louis exposition
These women expect to return to their foreign
homes when the exposition closes. They will travel
