MESSAGE TO NEW YORK.

The Hon. William ]. Gaynor, !

, press small measure of the !
sympathy and sorrow felt by the +.

because it is only few months .
since we had a disaster differing
only in degree from that of Sat-
urday. If this city can do a .
service, officially or otherwise, / .
: trust that you will advise me.
Yours very truly, .

ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 27.-The
body of man about s5 years of age,
probably Charles J. Parr, of 302 Caro- :
line street, Baltimore. was found float

pockets.

Heads of the various city depart
ments declared today that much mas
been done since the High street fse
to prevent another such disaster, but
all admitted that great deal more
could be accomplished if the authori-
ties had more power. More and better
laws is what they all cry for.
Superintendent William P. O'Rourke
of the building department, said that
since November his department, IN
conjunction with the State depart
nient. has inspected 1905 buildings. 1t
was found that many of these needed
more or better flre-escapes. The OWL
ers were told to comply with the order
of the department. Up to the present
time 101 have done so. The new build
ing code will make it impossible TO
have a repetition of the holocaust, but
the attention of the department is d.
rected to the buildings now in exist
ence as well as future buildings.
A hat factory on the corner of Fifth
street and Park avenue, owned by the
Hatters' Fur Exchange, was declared
unsafe by the department and ordered
demolished. The owners fought this
order but We're forced to submit. It
developed now that this company had
officers in the New York building ir
which the holocaust occurred Oh Sat
urday.
To Increase Inspectors.
tI,@4 fvaA 30
inspectors will be increased from nine
to thirteen and that he will ask for
more inspectors, among which he will
have one man look after fire-escapes
exclusively. He will also ask the legis-
lative committee today to add amend
ments to the bills now in the Legls-
Iature introduced by the State depart
ment and the tenement house commits
sicn that will further safeguard the in
terests of the workers r.
The superintendent said: 1--WE have
done a great deal and are doing some
thing each day. Our force is almost too
small, but we are making the best Of
it and hope te get more men soon. The
new code is fine, but. strange to say.
we are having lot of trouble with
the fire prevention clause because mer-
exits that we demand cost too much.
One of the important things in the new
code is that we require doors to open
on the escapes instead of windows, and
these doors must be on level with the
floor. Another good feature is that the
stairways are now governed by the
area of the building instead of by the
need of the individual owners"
President William Weber, of the
Board of Fire Commissioners, was
with Fire Commissioner Matthias
Stratton when asked for an expression
of opinion concerning conditions in
Newark.
President Weber's Statement.
The two men agreed to the following
statement made by President Weber:
'"rhe remedy can be given in nut
shell. we want more fire-escapes and
better building laws. The work of the
New York fire department shows that.
More than $8,000o00 had been spent in
perfecting it, and 1t is the best in the
world. They got the alarm Saturday
as soon S the fire started, and yet
were unable to cope with the situation.
The remedy lies in fire-escapes and

ANOTHER WORD AS TO EGGS.

ANOTHER WORD AS TO EGGS.
Just to give the Iowa hen a little
further reinsurance about reciprocity
with Canada, we beg leave to say
that Sioux City dealer has just
shipped a carload of Iowa eggs to
Canada These eggs will pay the
5-cents-a-dozen duty and yet under.
sell Canadian eggs ON the Canadian
market. II the Canadian duty were
removed, the shipment of this car
load OF eggs into Canada would have
brought cents a dozen more Of
Canadian money into Iowa, or about
$1,000 in all.
CAN'T the Iowa hen understand
that the removal of Canadian duties
would be to Its advantage?
As the Sioux City Tribune puts it
''af the hen vote could be counted, 81
would be for reciprocity. -Registel

AGREEMENT OR NO AGREE.

y n
There isi scheme after scheme for
amending the Canadian trade agree
ment in the Senate and dt is report
ed that the President is Of the opin-
ion that any amendment will imperil
the agreement as whole. He is
anxious, therefore, that the Mccall
resolution should be passed exact
ly as it came from the House.
Considering the conflict OF inter
ests that is now ON at Washington,
the opinion of the President is
abundantly Justified, and the friends
Of reciprocity and tariff reform
should not split over details. The
agreement, we may feel certain, is
all the reciprocity they will get. If
it is killed, reciprocity will be kill
ed, and it is; obvious that all sorts
of tricks will be tried to bring about
the slaughter. Tinkering at this
time is combining with tariff bour-
bons who have never had amy use
for reciprocity except as vote-get-
ter during troublesome political cam
paigns. So far as they are concem-
ed, all the reciprocity talk has
been a sham, and they are fighting
the principle now as well as a
particular measure.
To justify vote in opposition un-
der the circumstances stronger rea-
sons are required than any that
have appeared SO far. Considering
the industrial conditions in the two
countries, the extent and character
OF the population, 1T is difficult to
see how the broadcast concessions
would subject this great republic to
danger from the Domiuion. There
have been protests for the farmers
and the lumbermen, but Senator
Stephenson, who represents both
land and lumber interests, says: 81
believe am the biggest farmer and
Mmberman in Wisconsin. The reci-
procity treaty will not hurt either
the farmer or lumberman. Liverpool
fixes. the price Of wheat for the
world, and, therefore, the price of
bread. Both Canadian and American
wheat is exported to Liverpool"
The senator is not famous, like La
Toilette, as, progressive, but he is
supposed to have pretty good bust

For the last six or eight years
there has been no reformatory mea-
sure-not one-put through Congress
except by the add of democratic
votes. You could mot have passed
one of them, and you know it. You
could not have passed the Cuban
reciprocity bill to have saved your
souls without us; you could not
have passed the Porto Rican bill
without us; you could not have pass
ed the Philippine tariff bill without
us.
you could not have passed single
bill for the regulation of railroads to
save your uecks If we had mot have
stood here like a stone wall. The
press of the country, however, gave
the republicans all the credit, and
am sick and tired of it. / want it
understood hereafter that when we
pass bills that We, the democrats,
pass them; that we are doing the
leading, and the republican fragment
that votes with us is doing the trail
ing or following, and we are not do
ing it. The President comes to us.
We do not go to him."
Mr.. Clark then made very import
amt statement as to the attitude OF
the democrats ON the reciprocity mea
sure. He said:

right direction. / am mot in favor

With hopes temporarily frightened
by the magnificent speach made on
behalf Of Lorimer by Senator Bailey
Of Texas, the lumber trusts, the rail-
roads and STANDARD Oil are making a
desperate final effort to save the III
inois' boss from expulsion.
1t is very doubtful, however, If
Lorimer can be saved. Whatever is
done in the way OF entreating or
forcing senators to stand for Lorimer.
ism must be dome Within the next
couple of days. 1t is evident to all
that a vote is near at hand. 1t is
conceded that Bailey did more for
the Lorimer cause than all of the
other Lorimer sympathizersl togeth-
er. His speech was eloquent, able
and plausible. Whether Lorimers
cause ir right or wrong, Bailey made
1t look as, If right.
