.58 GIRLS Are BURNED
Twenty-Five Bodies Found-37
More Are Missing.
Victims Ignore Alarm, Believing That
Sounding OF Gong Was Call for
Fake Drill.

Binghamton, N. Y, July 24.-With
the ruins of the building of the Bing-
hamton Clothing company, destroyed
by fire with great loss Of life, sufhci-
emily cooled by streams of water which
were played on them all during the
night, rescuers began digging at the
tons of timber, brick and mortas in
an effort to reach the bodies still
known to be buried in the debris.
Revised reports at noon placed the
dead and missing at IS. Twenty-one
bodies have been recovered, six of
them being identified. Thirty-seven
persons are missing. Failure to
promptly heed the alarm Of fire,
believing it was only a fire drill, un
doubtedly caused the great loss of life
When the girls and women working in
the factory realized that the building
was enveloped with flames the mair
! avenue of escape was cut OFF. Instant
ly the other exits were choked witt
panic-stricken girls, eager to rush from
the burning building.
Identified dead: Mrs. Alvin White

Amusing etoriss Told BY the late
Whitslaw Reid Concerning Tie
RESPONSIBILITIES Of tils Famous
Chief at Table.

Several Of the anecdotes that our
late ambassador to England, Whitelaw
Reid. used to relate Of Horace Gree
ley. his old chief on the Tribune. have
recently been going the rounds Of the
press. Most Of them refer to his Pc
culiarities in the Office; q few 10 those
he displayed in company, especially at
table, where his Observation-Disclosures
and his queer theories combined to
produce unexpected results.
Once. when he was to take supper
with daughter of Nathaniel Willis
she arranged the meal especially to
suit his ideas. It was simple. and
there were plenty Of the graham things
that he advocated 80 ardently. But
lest her own family should rebel, there
we're also hot rolls upon the table. Mr.
Greeley's eye fastened upon them at
once. and ignoring the graham gems
conveniently at hand. he reached for
= hot ROLAND then for another. A.
he began on q third, his hostess re-
marked that she was delighted 10 zee
that he liked her rolls. but that she
had thought he did not eat such things-
Fanny, do you always practice what
you preach?" was the unps1tnrhed re-
ioinder; and he made his entire meal

the crullers. which occurred at tho
table of his boarding house. When the
crullers were passed to him. instead
Of taking single cruller. no accepted

It in his lap a. he continued his dis
course. Presently. vaguely aware OF
something there. his hand wandered
downward and encountered q cruller.
This he mechanically Erasped and
raised to his mouth. Quite unaware
Of what he was doing. he ate and
talked, and talked and ate: oruller
after oruller disappeared until the bas.
ket was empty. The company were
oonvulsed with suppressed merriment:
one or two had to leave the table, to
have their laugh out in the hall.
But the kindly landlady, distressed
on account Of possible results. remem-
bered having heard that the best anti
dote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly
removing the empty cake basket from
Mr.. Greeley's lap. she put in it's place

SM00T HITS TARIFF
Objects to Meats, Hides and Wool
on Free List.
Senator Says Such Action Is Playing
Into Hands Of the Beef
Barons.

Washington, July %. When the
senate met the tariff debate was
resumed and Senator Smoot of Utah
completed his address. He attacked
first the action Of the Democrats in
placing meats, cattle, hides, wool, ETC.,
on the free list, declaring that such
action is only playing into the hands
of the beef barons and throttling com.
petition. The importation Of meats
and cattle free Of duty, he said, will
give a tremendous advantage to Can.
ada, Mexico and Argentina at the ex'
pense Of the American farmer.
Senator Smoot argued that the
chief advocates Of the low rates OF
tariff both before the house and the
senate have been the importers. OF
reduced duties upon automobiles, Sen
ator Smoot said:
Gust why the European manufac
turers should have any consideration
whatever in fixing this or any Other
duty, is beyond the comprehension Of
and fair-minded American citizen
But they figure very extensively IN
this fixing of the rates on automo
biles. occupying many pages Of the
hearings, and filling threats, which
If made elsewhere by Americans
would be considered insolent."
In the: cotton schedule, Senator
Emoot j.insisteds5 that; the northern
manufactures had been discriminat
ed against and the southern produc
ers had been favored. The northern
manufacturers make the finer grade,
of goods, he said. He declared thai

With a sensible acreage. we will make
money next season on cabbage, as well
as on onions. Potatoes also are going to
be worth good money next spring, tho
we do not grow large quantities of pc
tatoes in this territory.
Nothing very definite regarding the

Der LIST.
In the, meantime, the situation up to
date is as follows:
In New York state the crop continues
for short crop althO' recent rains in New
York have had the effect of bringing out
some of the late cabbage in good shape.
The general impression is that New York
will have so to GO per cent of a crop.
Ohio cabbage crop is very short ana
large kraut actory people in Ohio are
buying cabbage i'm New York and in Wis
consin for their kraut supplies. These
factories are now paying SO. 90 per ton
for cabbage in those states, whereas at
this season last year they could get all
they wanted at 800 to s.. 90 per ton.
Michigan cabbage crop is practically
a failure. Some few countin~ nave crops
ranging about 80 per cent of last year
while in other producing counties is prac
tically no crop.
Wisconsin cabbage continues to look
good enough. As stated in previous re
ports the acreage in that state is about
10 per cent less han last season, but
the crops are looking good in most see
tons and the yield per acre is going to
be good enough.
There will be plenty Of Wisconsin cab
bage. Our salvation lies in the fact that
with cabbage crops short in other north
ern and eastern states, Wisconsin cab
bage will find markets nearer home ra-
Their than coming South.
There is at present a tendency to
store a large quantity of cabbage. This
is occasioned by the spectators who be
lieve that storage cabbage will be high
priced in the spring. This would ind
cate that we will have good market con
ditions for early cabbage fro mthe south.
