The trade between the United
States and Uruguay, now relatively
meager, could, in the opinion of Con-
sui O'Hara, of Montevideo, be consid-
cred increased by the establishment
OF direct steamship communication
between the two countries. There is
no prejudice in Uruguay against Amer
lean products; but there are no Amer
leans there to sell American manufac-
tured goods, while Europeans have es-
tablished large importing houses,
learned the language, customs and
wants Of the people, and have regu-
dar steamship lines, to keep them in
touch with their home countries.

Fearful RESULT of nm Alarm of Fire
In "a Negro Baptist Church
I'm Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. pa wild panic
following a loud shrek of fire.
brought death to Is colored persons
and injuries to nearly two score of
others Sunday night in st. Paul's Bap-
list church on the west side Of Eighth
street, between Poplar street and Gil
rard avenue. The terrible rush tn gain
the streets was of brief duration, and
that more were not killed in the STAN
pede was probably due to the fact that
the church was not crowded. At the
time the disaster occurred not more
than 300 persons were on the second
floor of the building, which, with the
gallery, was capable of accommodating
600 to 700. The fire was a trifing one,
and was extinguished before the fire
men arrived. The smell of smoke add
ed to the panic, and despite the heroic
work of Rev. z. w. Johnson, the pastor
Of the church. who tried in vain to al
lay the fears of the frightened worship
pers, the terrOr-stricken people made
a desperate rush to leave the church,
only to be choked up on the narrow
stairway. Those in the rear leaped
over the PROSTATE forms of those who
fell, and when the rush was over Is lay
dead on the first floor and stairs of the
building. Death in nearly every case
was due to SuffOcation or trampling.
