Cuba it will be the 14th extraordinary
session in the history of the country.
The last pervious extraordinary session
was that convened by President McHin-

was the passage of the Dingley tariff law.
Although the particular purpose of the
present session is the passage of a joint
resolution to make effective the terms of
the Cuban reciprocity treaty, passed by

"a Lives Lost in New York Tenement
House Fire.

Twenty-one men, three women and
l0-months- old baby We're burned to death
or suffocated in fire that started early
Sunday morning in the five story tene-
ment house al 426 Eleventh avenue. New
York, and which the police and coroner
believe to have been of incendiary origin.
Some of the peculiar features of the dis
aster in addition to the startling loss of
life, are that the fire was practically eX-
tinguished in 20 minutes, that the police
could learn of but one person being in
jured, other than those who lost their
lives and that the property loss was only
$1,000. Several Halloween parties were in
progress in the apartments, so that the
rooms were crowded. The fire started in
the basement and sweeping upward soon
enveloped the stairway. At the windows
the bodies of the men and women were
jammed, showing that a desperate
struggle to get free resulted in choking
the steps to the fire escapes At the rear
window on the fourth floor were the bodies
of five men. Each had clutched the other
next to him in an endeavor to push him
away in order to get to the fire escape.
The features of the men were distorted,
some with rage, others with agony, and
in two instances the men had gripped each
other so hard that blood had been drawn
and had run over the hands. All of the
victims of the fire were Italians.

New Jerseys Corporation Laws.
[Springfield Union

Its corporation business brings a pretty
penny into the vaults of the treasurer of
the State of New Jersey even If the cor
poratiOn laws of that state are not all
that could be hoped for in the way of re-
strictions. In the last ten years the State
has received little more than ten million
dollars in taxes from miscellaneous cor
porations, not including the railroads and
canal corporations which do not come un-
der the general act, and in addition to
this there has been about two millions in
filing fees. An interesting feature of the
corporation affairs under New Jersey $
laws is the number of defaulting corpora
tons These have numbered more than
six thousand in the ten years. growing in
number from 247 in 1898 to SS5 in 1908,
and showing that quite a good many I'M

tons fully 60 human beings. The first
car in which the players We're, was COM

containing band of musicians, was part
w telescoped, while the third coach was
overturned and hurled down a 15-foot
