SECTION THREE
Of D|NGLEY ACT
Ambassador JuSSerand Will
Return to France to Aid in
Making Tariff Agreement.

Washington June 25.-Not a treaty but
an agreement under section Of the
DingIey act. is the purpose of the ap-
preaching visit to France of Ambassador
JusseraId. For several weeks before Sec
rotary Roots departure for his summer
home he had been in frequent conference
with the ambassador relative to the tariff
relations of the two countries. The French
government had taken notice of the con-
ClusiOn of the GeTman-American arrange
ment and was prompt in expressing a de-
sire to share in the benefits thereof The
state department had announced that it
was prepared to make similar arrange
ments with other countries where il was
possible to reach an arrangement in the
mutual reduction Of duties.
Sparkling Wines Excepted.
America already has a tariff arrange
ment under section 3 with France cover
ing the whole list Of goods on which this
country can grant . per cent reduC-
ton of duty, with the single exception of
ChampagneS.. or sparkling wines. The
French government is understood to desire
to secure this last remaining favor upon
the ground that similar concession had
been granted to Germany. But the fac
tor of equivalence" is lacking in this
case. for the trade in German champagne
is trifling and the loss of revenue to the
American treasury in that case is insig-
nificant. Upon the other hand, the cham
payne imports into the United States from
France last year were valued at over SIS
00o000. and a reduction Of duty in that
case would become very important
Reciprocity Suggestions.
Therefore it is believed to be the fnten-
ton of this government TO suggest that.
in consideration of granting a reduction
in the duty on sparkling wines, France
will make some substantial concessions IN
removing restrictions on the importation
into France of some American staples and
of reducing duties on others and still fur
Their of refrainng from applying certain
projected and excessive duties now pend
in before the French parliament. NJ. JUS
Serand knows generally what the Amer
lean government wants and will doubtless
aCqUaint the foreign office with the
scheme but detailed information is for
the present withheld from the public.

Almost a Miracle.

It was thought that George Torchino
would be killed by the second fan of
brick but his life was saved by strange
happening. Part of the wooden roof that
had remained upon the wall fell directly
over the hole which the firemen had
opened 10 him, and the bricks and tirlbers
rained harmlessly on this canopy. The
fiTemen pulled ii off and soon had Tor
chino out. A few moments later the fire
men took out TOrchinos father and

out of the wreck alive. They are suffer-

SEVEN PERSONS KILLED
HEROIsM ON THE PART OF THE
.e-.e- FtREMEN.

New York. June 25.-Seven persons. six
of them members of one Italian family,
were killed early today in the collapse of
a ramshackle tenement in the downtown
Italian quarter. Three other members of
the same family, including the father and
mother, are in a hospital, painfully in
jured, but viii recover. There were some
exciting scenes Immediately following the
accident, one of which was the rescue of
an old man from a two-foot ledge, forty
feet from the ground, this portion of the
fallen building having adhered to the ad-
joining structure long enough to permit
the firement to get to the scene raise a
ladder and take the man, Jacob Reigler,
safely to the ground. Then it also fell
into the ruins.

Witness Allowed to Testify.

Judge Wood allowed the witness 10
give his experience. Redd said he was
arrested by several deputies on June 4,
1904 and taken aboard a train to Cripple
Creek, where he was put in the bull-pen
and held four days without trial and
without any charge being laid against
him.
Cross by Mr.. Hawley, Redo
said he was a member of the Western
Federation of Miners and had been a
member since the organization was form
ed. 1t was the day after the Indepen-
dence depot explosion that he was taken
10 the buli-pen.
Military officers were in control at the
pull-pen, where there were 80 men con
fined when the witness was arrested.
Asked if he did not know that the mill
taTy were merely Investigating the depot
matter and that as soon as they learned
a man had nothing to do with it he was
allowed to go, Redd said he knew moth
ing about il at all. The witness was at
Clyde Colo, when arrested. He said
Re had never seen Steve Adams until ne
came to Boise.
Redd was released by the colonel COM
handing the bull-pen, who told him on
leaving that if he was mOlested to let him
know and he would see that he was re-
leased The witness said the colonel also
advised him that it might be a good plan
to leave Cripple Creek while existing con-
ditiOns prevailed. He left two days later
and has not been back since.

Danger Existed Long.

The collapsed building was a four-story
affair, built over fifty years ago, and was
located at the corner of Walker and La
fayette streets. 1t belonged to the Nose
Taylor estate, and for some time has been
in dangerous condition because of eX-
cavations for a new building on the ad
joining premises 1t had been shored up.
but its weakened condition caused it to
fall in at O'Clock. Most of the tenants.
warned by ominous creaking, fled a few
minutes before it collapsed.
The dead were buried under tons of
debris. and it was not until the firemen
and volunteers had worked for four hours
that their bodies were recovered.
Contractor Arrested.
George b. Lumenthal the contractor
who had charge of the recent repairs and
snoring up of the building was arrested
and charged with homicide.
That many more persons did not lose
their lives in the collapse of the old build
ing was due to two of the younger Occu-
pants of the house having attended an
Italian celebration last night. The boys
reached home shortly before o'clock this
morning and, warned by the severe shak-
ing and creakng of the house. ran
through the building and warned the
sleeping tenants of the impending dan
ger. Dozens of persons ran into the street
in their night clothes. and many of them
had scarcely gained the street before the
crash came Five minutes later scores of
firemen were at work tearing away at the
hope that some of the buried persons
might be taken out alive. Over them tot

extension. cracked in two places and

hand moving cOnvulsively. The men
caught it and the man under the ruins
murmured: For Gods sake, save my

1t was George Torchino. six of whose
brothers and sisters persisted in the ruins.

in Charleston Saturday night. at
the banquet of st. Andrews
Society, Mr.. Finley said:
l propose to demonstrate to

pie OF Charleston, that my his

upon by declaring that Andrew
Jackson was a native of South

that Andrew Jackson was born
at Waxhaw, which the United

postoffice in Union County ,
North Carolina. But, was he
born at the exact spot on the map
Known as Waxnaw? In an early

Lancaster County, however, is
