Scenes in the Mulberry street district
were heart-rending. When the flames
were first discovered through one small
door of the congested tenement a panic
ensued Pistols were fred and the
denisons of little Italy ran to and fro,
shouting incohereptly but no thought OF
turning in an alarm.
Terror.stricken faces appeared at the
dirty windows only to disappear into
the black smoke behind as terrific ex-
plosions rocked the building. Women
screamed and men In their night rain
meat crept onto the window castings
ready to jump.

little OF no attention was paid.
Streams of water we're dashed against

After a thorough investigation Fire
Marshal Kelly concluded that the
building was fred by an incendiary.
On the testimony Of two persons, whose
names have not been disclosed, the FIRE
marshal said.
"This fire is the result of black hand
attempt at extortion. From reliable
witnesses Learn that two men were seen
rolling a barrel into hallway Of the
building and within ten minutes the
place was fiery furnace. Two explo-
sions occurred the minute the fire alarm
was turned 10. When the explosions
were heard the building, Railways and

MONDAY EVENING. OCT. 8. 1908.

A SIGNAL victory was gained on sat
urdsy by the opponents Of the theory
advanced by DR.. Koch, the eminent
German scientist, minimizing the dan
ger of human infection from bovine To-
berculosis bacilli, when the sixth lr''
ennial international Congress on Tuber-
eulosis. iust before fnsl adjournment In
Washington, placed itself on record In
imposition to the views OF the German
asyspt. The controversy over this mo-
mentous issue, which has been the SUBJ
ject of spirited debate during the entire
proceedings of the congress, reached It's
climax Saturday, when that body, by
unanimous vote, adopted a resolution
recognizing the possibility" Of human
infection from the bovine tuberculosis
bacilli. The text Of the resolutions ls
as follows:
Resolved. That the utmost efforts
should be continued in the struggle
against tuberculosis to prevent the con-
yeysnce from man TO man of tubercu'
losis infection as the most important
sources OF the disease.
That preventive measures Dc con-
tinued against bovine tuberculosis, and
that the possibility OF the propagation Of
this to man be recognized.
The action of the congress will likely
put quietus to further agitation, al
least until the next meeting Of the con-
nreaa in 1911.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 5.-Tbe procls-
nation of Bulgaria rs an independent
kingdom was formslly made at the snci-
eut Bulgarian capital at Throws today.

Immediately signed the document.
The text of the declaration has been
telegrsphtd to all the European chanctl-
tories, but 1t is being withheld from The

ton of Bulgsria's military plane.
COnstsntinople, OFT. 5.-Turkey will
meet Bulgaris's declaration of inde-
pendence with an armed force.
Immediately upon the receipt OF an
official message that Bulgaria had thrown

assembled ard is still In session.
Turkey has $50, 900 troops available
for duty on short notice, but the mobili-
zstion Of her entire fighting strength, APP
proximatsly 1000. 900 men, would re-
quire at least two months.
Despite Turkeys numerical superior
ity, the army is not in good condition,
nor can 1t be put into state Of efficienc y
equal to that Of Bulgaria.
London, Oct. 5.-The Turkish smbas-
sador held a long conference with the

faction and save the people any further

last Friday as heretofore stated in the
Gazette, Mr.. LongwOrth advocated che
election OF Judge Taft for two terms and
then return Of eight years more OF Mr..

all very kind and cOus'derate OF Mr..

dates who present themselves every fouI

II IS again stated that Mr.. Roosevelt
has decided to take the stump for Judge
Taft. The report is that the president
has tentatively agreed to make a whirl-
wind dash from the Atlantic to the Pa
ci6c, delivering six speeches, the last 10

that the president thinks his candidate
is in grave danger Of defeat and that he

AT the Tuberculosis Congress in ses-
sion 10 Washington last week, Surgeon
General Won Uuterberger, honorary
physician at the court Of the czsr Of
Russia, declared that all tendency to
disease is to be regarded as hereditary,
whether or not the same disease can be
traced back 10 each case to parents or
ancestors. He said the tendency to COL
sumption is inherited, and that it may
be developed by various agencies. M
merous autopsies show that every man
over 80 years old has the remains OF q
tuberculosis infection. His conclusion
Is that, while trying to destroy the germ
of The disease, they must direct their ef'
forts chiefly TO strengthening the body
oy n,glenic snd dietetic means.
