Old Employees Return to Work at a
Reduction In Wages.
New York, March 1.-THE traffic
conditions on the elevated railroad
and subway today were slightly i'm
proved over those of yesterday. No
more trains were run, but a little bet
ter speed was maintained. All the
employees of the Interborough compa-
ny who went on a strike and whose
wages had been previously advanced
because or the length OF their ser
vice, secured unemployment only at
the sacrifice of whatever advance in
wages they had obtained.
Experienced motormen were re
duced from $3.50 to So day, gatemen
from $1.55 to $1.40, guards from $190
to $1.75, and conductors from $2.40
to $2.10.
So crushed was the strike spirit that
the men accepted the reductions with
out protest. Many expressed regret
that they had joined in the strike and
told the officers that they had done SO
from fear.

Washington, March 14.-When the
Santo Domingo treaty was taken up
in executive session of the senate to-
day Senator Teller again made a. plea
for an open session for the discussion
OF the law points which he said were
involved in the treaty. The senate
committee on foreign relations were
complimented by Senator Teller for
the efforts 1t had made to satisfactori-
ly amend the treaty and he declared
that the convention with perhaps one
or two additional amendments had
been put in the best position.
But" he said, 'it is impossible to
amend the treaty so that it will salts
fly me. I am opposed to 1t for funda-
mental and basic reasons. He de-
clared that the policy to be embarked
upon under the treaty was contrary
to our form of government and a dan
gerous precedent to establish.
Objection was made by Senator For
aker to opening the doors. After
this question had been disposed of for
the second time, Senator Morgan took
the floor and discussed the Domini-
can debt for the purpose of showing
that it was largely made up of fraud
ulent claims. He talked also of the
revenues of the government and used
as basis the data which he recently
presented to the senate and which was
printed as a senate document.

score of persons were burned to death,
several were so badly hurt that they
may die and 40 others received slight
hurts in fire that practically de-
stroyed five ss--~ tenement house il
Allen street carry today. The tlre
had gained great headway befwe it be
came known to most of the tenants
and many of them were cut off before
they could make an attempt to save
themselves. Thrilling rescues and dar-
ing leaps for life marked the fire.
Scores were carried from the blazing
building, Firemen with scaling lad
ders braved the flames and reached
the imperiled tenants Those so far
recovered only the following have been
identified:

Crowded fire escapes in the rear of
the tenant house were largely respon-
sible for so many deaths and injuries
among it's population, which approach
ed 200 souls.
The scenes about the building after
the fire was over and when the search
for the dead was begun were heart
rending. Nothing so pitiful has been
seen in New York city since the Slo-
cum disaster, when 1000 people lost
their lives.
The fire started in the basement, oc-
cupied by Isaac Davis, his wife and
three children. Davis had been out
last night and returning to his home
early this morning went into his store
on the same floor just in time to see
a kerosene lamp in the rear explode.
He awoke his wife and both tried to
put out the flaming lamp but without
success and then gave all their atten.
tion to getting their children out of
the burning building. A policeman
who heard the cry of alarm rushed to
the scene and an effort was made to
arouse the sleeping persons in the
house
In the meantime the flames had
spread with startling rapidity and
when the persons who had been asleep
on the upper floors awoke they found
themselves confronted by a wall of
flames on nearly every side. Scenes OF
the widest description followed with
the panic stricken people rushing for
the fire escapes only to find them lit.
tered with rubbish of all descriptions
and almost impossible.
Down through this cluttered narrow
passage way fed stream of humanity.
On some of the escapes the rubbish
was so closely packed that it became
impossible to- pass certain points and
men, women and children stood liter.
ally roasting to- death as the flames
roared through windows around them.
