MEXICAN THEATRE BURNS.

in Crowded Theatre at Acapulco,
Mexico, and Between $50 and 800
People Lose Their Lives.
Mexico City, Special--Between $50
and 300 people were burned to death
and many were injured in fire which
destroyed the Flores Theatre in the
City of Acapulco Sunday night. Tie
news of the disaster reached this city
Monday afternoon, telegraphic COM
munication with Acapulco having
been destroyed owing to the fact that
the telegraph Office adjoining tie
theatre was burned and all wires put
out of commission.
The floor of the theatre was
wooden affair and over one thousand
people crowded into it.
One of. the numbers of the pro-
gramme consisted Of a series of NOV
ing pictures. While the operator was
exhibiting these, a film caught fire and
a blaze was quickly communicated 10

credibly short time the flames spread
to all parts Of the structure. There
were but three narrow exits, and the
panic-strieken audience rushed to
these, many falling and being crush

It was impossible to rescue those
imprisoned who were literally roasted
alive, as the fire burned with little
smoke and few were suffocated.
Monday pitiful scenes of grief
were enacted in the streets of the lit

children are wandering from place 10

some instances entire families were
wiped out of existence. The munich
pal authorities caused large trenches

OF the dead were laid.

Committees were thereupon appoint

the victors, and the latter managed to
coach it from Massachusetts to NeT
York in time to appear at his post on
April 20.
But the ship of state had to drift
ten days more without skipper and
with only the first mate in command.
Meanwhile Washington was journey
ing to New York on horseback, pass
ing through triumphal arches and
over pathways Of flowers strewn by
pretty maidens in the towns traversed.
At last he arrived at Governor Clin-
tons house, in New York, and on the
morning of April 80 his carriage was
thence escorted by body of troops
and a civic parade to the old City
Hall. This set the precedent for an
inaugural parade:

Washington's second swearing in
at Philadelphia In 1898 was the first
March 4 inaugural.
Adams was inaugurated in the
House Of Representatives, Philadel-
phia. Jeffersons was the first at
Washington. Monroe established the
precedent for taking the oath on the
east portico Of the Capitol, although
he was sworn the second time in the
House. on account of tn eaintense cold.
J.saQ. Adams, his succe ssor, also took
| the oath indoors. Jacksen re-estab-
lished the custom which has prevailed
since. Jackson was the first Presi-
cent to attract large pilgrimage of
admirers to attend the inaugural care-
monies.
German sharpshooters were dis
tributed upon the roofs Of the houses
lining the route of Lincoln's first in
augural procession to and from the
Capitol.
Grants first inaugural parade
marched in eight grand divisions. APP
i preciating Grants strained relations
with johnson, the inaugural commit
tee proposed to drive the two to the
Capitol in separate carriages abreast,
but this angered Johnson. He abb
sented himself from the entire cere-
mony, and Grant rode to the Capitol
with General Rawlins.
Grover Cleveland's first inaugura-
tion eclipsed all previous ceremonies
in one respect, the crowds from out
side numbering 100000. The hold
ing of the ball that year in the Pen
sion Office set precedent followed
ever since. Although Benjamin Har-
rison's inauguration day was prob
ably the wettest, $4,000 men paraded
in the rain, and the ball broke all
records with an attendance Of $4,000,
while the inaugural committee real
lied a surplus of $4,000.

whose views on the construction of a
tariff differed as widely as the tenets
of their parties, sat side by side as
delegates and joined in tumultuous
applause Tuesday as speaker after
speaker in the first national tariff
commission convention vigorously de-
nounced the present tariff and the
method of its construction.
That the present tariff system has
been outgrown and that the United
States fingers decades behind the
scientific methods Of European coun-
tries was repeated almost as often as
new speaker addressed the dele
gates. That the prompt establish
ment Of a non-partisan tariff COM
mission was the only remedy for
present conditions was repeated as
often.
J. W. Van Cleave, of St. Louis
president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, who was made the
permanent chairman Of the gather
ing, aroused the first enthusiasm by
asserting that the tariff must be tax
en- out of PARTISAN politics, and Con-
gresham Fowler, Of New Jersey, who
is sponsor of the Beveridge commits
sion bill now before Congress, caus-
ed demonstration when he asserted
tha the tariff must cease to be
the football Of political parties.
Former Governor Guild, of Massa-
,chusetts; Senator Brown, of Ne
hraska, and Congressman Ransdell,
Of Louisiana, gave the varying view
points Of their sections.

ously the ability of the members Of
