burning embers rained down on neigh

spread to other factory buildings,
where many of the girls in peril had
friends and relatives, and several
firms had to shut down for the day.
Thousands flocked to the fire and
made tile work of the firemen and po-
lice more difficult
Italian silk workers fell in the
streets and prayed. Priests and cler-

deered for emergency service, We're
hurrying in opposite streams to the
hospitals and back again.
Before any semblance Of order could
be restored every police reserve in the
city had been called out, and it was
not until tonight that an estimate Of
the property loss could even be VEN
tured. The fire department now esti-
mates $165,Oo0, but no statement of the
owners and tenants is yet available.
The building was a four-story brick
structure occupied on the two lower
floors by the Newark Paper Box COM
pany and the A. A. Drake Paper Box
company; on the third floor where the
fire started, by the Anchor Lamp COM
pany and the Aetna Electric company,
and on the top floor, where the death
list ran heavy, by the Wolf Manu-
featuring company, makers of under
wear. The wooden floors were soaked
with oil drippings from the machinery
and the flames ate their way through
them like pasteboard. When they
warped and weakened, the weight of
the machinery tore them from the
walls and they fell into the basement
in a horrible tangle of hot iron and

lifted the embargo on the use OF all
the telegraph wires and furnished the
Associated Press with its direct leased
wire to the City of Mexico For the
first time in five days, a full press
service is going into the republic The
fact that the government finds it con
venient to do away with one Of its

cation that the situation is now we'll

tory building at Orange and High

Deputy Fire Chief Injured.
Among the injured is Joseph p.
Sloane, deputy fire chief, who was
overtaken by the falling wall and bur
led in bricks and rubbish. He is badly
hurt, but may recover The rush of
the flames was SO swift and threw
such terror into the girls on the top
story that the body of one was found
still seated on charred stool beside
the machine at which she had been
busy when the first cry of fire petri-
fled her with fright.
Scenes Of Horror.

Campaign in Full Swing.

The election campaign is in full
swing, and the country is flooded with
oratory and literature Billboards are
covered with cartoons. The public,
however is not showing the interest
evidenced in the two previous contests.
One effect of the lack of enthusiasm
is indicated in the number of uncon
tested seats. In some of the northern
constituencies, where there is no like
lihood of a change, the unionists and
the liberals have agreed not to oppose
each other. In other places, the cam
didates, who secured overwhelming
majorities last January, have been ac-
corded walkover. Among the for
tunate ones is Joseph Chamberlain.
AS the election draws near-the first
pollings will take place December 3
the prospects of the unionists improve
and enthusiastic members of the party
hope to win from 20 to 80 seats. The
liberals are looking for an addition to
their strength The big fight of the
| election will occur in the Manchester
constituency. On the whole, it seems
probable there will be great change
in the position of the parties.

New Commanders.

The delay in the actual surrender Of
the warships is explained by the fact
that the mutineers refused to submit
to an order that they land in the
fortress Of Vile Gaignon, nor were
they willing to accept as their COM
manders the officers who were on
board the warships prior to the rising.
Once their demands were met. they
surrendered Immediately and received
the new commanders with marks of
profound respect.
The government would not consent to
4he meeting of the Naval club, which,
it was announced, would be held this
evening for the purpose of protesting
against the granting of amnesty. 1t
is denied that the sailor, Jean Can
dido, who headed the revolt, has fled.
1t is rumored that the minister of

which is solely devoted to the pros
perity and peaceful development of our
fatherland.'
In anticipation of prolonged dis
cussion the house met two hours ear
lier than usual. Few of the members
We're absent and the galleries were
crowded. Herr Ledebour, one OF So
cialist Leader BebePs most gifted lieu
tenants, supported the socialistic in
terpellation, inquiring what the chan1
cellor thought Of the emperor having
departed from his declarations made
in November 1908, through DR.. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg. concerning his
majestys position in the state
Two years ago his majesty approved
a statement in the reichstag by the
chancellor, who expressed "the rever-
entail wish that greater reserve be dis
played in the future in making such
utterances" Herr Ledebour said
there was no objection to the emperor
speaking as much as he chose on all
possible subjects which his majesty
though he understood
None of our opponents he contin-
ued, "plows SO thoroughly in the soil
wherein social democratic seed is to be
sown as Emeperor William H."
1t was unfair, however, the speaker
said, that those undertaking to reply
to the emperor should be prosecuted
on the charge of insulting his majesty.
He demanded that the emperor should
not interfere in the affairs Of state con-
trary to the provisions Of the consti-
tuition.
Speaks MockingIy.
Herr Ledebour spoke mockingly Of
the HohenzoIlern family deriving its
power from the Most High. He con-
cluded:
.Elector Brandenberg obtained the
Prussian crown from the Roman en-
peror through begging and whining and
by all means of intrigue at the court
of Vienna"
Replying, Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg defended the emperor and as
serted that the socialist Interpolation
was inspired by republican sentiment
rather than by anxiety for the integ-
| rity of the state. The chancellor de-
MED that the koenigsberg speech con-
stituted a breach of any promise that
his majesty had made.
Describing the growth of the state,
| the chancellor said the kings of Prus-
sia in century-long development had
grown into an intimate connection
with the people.
This development he continued.

WAR VESSELS OF BRAZILIAN

PROMISE OF AMNESTY.
REBELS GET OFF FREE
Five Warships Which Had Been Fly

the Demands Of the Sailors.

Rio Janeiro, Nov. 26-The ships of
the Brazilian fleet, which have been
in the hands of mutinous sailors since
November %, We're surrendered to the
government at 7 O'clock this evening
This action followed the granting Of
the mutineers' demands by the govern
ment Of amnesty to all concerned in
the revolt, higher pay and less, work
for the sailors and the adjustment Of
certain minor grievances. It was an
nounced at 10 o'clock this morning that
the mhtineers would surrender, but at
that hour and for some time afteward
the warships still flew the red flag and
continued their evolutions in the har-
Dor On this announcement the city
resumed it's customary calm, and busi-
suspended, was again taken up, al
though the failure to come to a COM
plete and direct understanding with the
revolving sailors caused considerable
apprehension
The Ships Concerned.
The warships in the hands of the
mutineers included the Minas Geraes,
the Sac Paulo and the Bahia, the Rio
Grande do Sui and the Geogro. After
the announcement of this surrender
they proceeded out into the bay and
re- entered the harbor at 1880 o'clock
no longer flying the red flag. Jean
Candido, the leader of the mutineers
in company with 40 other sailors
abandoned the Minas Geraes some time
yesterday and the minister of marine
dispatched an officer to board the bat
tleship and ascertain whether 1t was
the intention to deliver over the ves-
| sells.
| About the same time it was rumored
that the officers who had been named
to take command OF the warships after
their surrender would decline to do so
fearing the fate of Captain Neves, the
former commander of the Minas
Geraes, and several other officers, who
We're killed oy the sailors when they
offered resistance the night of the out
break. The rumor caused considerable
alarm, but proved to be without foun-
dation.
A meeting of the Naval club was
held this evening to discuss what at
ttude the naval Officers would assume
