 The alarm of fire was sounded In the midst of the service and came near causing a stampede, but the audience was calmed by the coolness of the preacher. The alarm resulted from the burning out of the chimney at the res idence of Dr. Robinson.
 All of the business houses and off, fees have agreed to close from II to 12 o'clock each day during the meet ing.
 There is an undercurrent of excite ment as to the result of the meeting as it is believed Mir. Jones will begin early an agitation to close the dispen- sary. The directors of the dispensary and managers and church officials and the salesmen are also active church members.

TARIFF WAR EXPECTED.

France Claims Uncle Sam Has Broken
 Faith With Her. ..
 Paris. Nov. 4-The present indica- tions point to an early inauguration of a tariff war between France and the United States.
 The negotiations opened last summer for an arrangement on 8 basis giving France the benefit of a twenty per cent reduction in wines, in return for preferential raets upon a list of about 100 articles, including shoes. tools. machinery, etc, have thus far been barren of results, and the action of the French government Saturday, in virtually promising not to conclude any further commercial arrangements until parliament passes upon the pro- posed revision of the tariff of 1892. seems to preclude any chance of agree ment.
 It is true that last week before the government made its promise, reiuc- tant assent was given to an extension of the decree granting the minimum rates to Porto Rican coffee until December 1. While the extension nominally keeps the issue open for another month, 1t Is practically certain that nothing will be accomplished un- less the United States radically changes its attitude France having all along regarded the concessions asked of her. as being utterly disproportionate to what was offered.
 If the Porto Rican coffee decree is withdrawn December l, as now ap- pears likely, the United States Is ex- pected to retaliate, and a tariff war will then be on.

RATE RAISED AGAIN

The Discount Rate Goes Up One Half Per Cent on Account of Continual

The Discount Rate Goes Up One Half
 Per Cent cn Account of Continual
 Withdrawal of Gold.
 London. Nov. 1.-The persistent de- mand from America for gold. in spite of the recently increased rate of the Bank of England, in face of the con- tinued rise in the cable transfer rate. caused the Bank of England to raise It's rate from 1-z to 6 per cent .
 Although an increase to this rate next Thursday would not have surpris- ed the market. the announcement of the rise today created somewhat of a furry locally. It Is considered, how ever. in financial circles. to be the natural outcome of the unfavorable New York bank statement.
 When the Bank of England's rate was raised to Ia per cent Oct. 31, 1t was thought that the situation in the United States was clearing satis- factorily, but the continued engage ments of gold at a loss of and 3 per cent in the exchange rates caused a recurrence of nervousness in the dis count market and rates were put up from 57-s to per cent in endeavors to assist the bank to protect it's re- serve. but the futflity of the efforts is shown by the fact that since Thurs day the United States has drawn daily from the bank substantial sums, ai- ready aggregating s6.00o.ooo. Egypt has also recommended withdrawing gold. Financial circles here now incline to the belief that the six per cent rate will suffice and no further advance will be necessary. particularly if the Bank of France renders it's promised aid. All depends, however. on the absence of demands of alarming proportions from America.
 The rise in the Bank of England's rate of discount, coupled with the un- satisfactory position In New York, as revealed by the New York bank state- ment, caused a depression all around on the stock exchange today. Consols dropped 3-4 and Americans were offer ed in many cases with a point below parity. without finding buyers. The position here, however, is regarded as being very sound and the declines reg istered today are more in the na- ture of a sentimental.
