COMMISSION DRAFTING BILL Cabinet Agrees Not to Conclude Fur- ther Commercial Treaties Until Par- liament s Given an Opportunity to Act on Measure. Paris, Nov. 4—The tariff commis- sions of the senate and the chamber of deputies, which have begun draft- | ing a bill for the revision of the tarift of 1892, at a conference with Premier Clemenceau and Foreign Minister Pichon and other members of the cab- Inet formally requested the govern- ment to agree not to conclude fur- ther commercial treaties with foreign powers until parliament acts upon the bill which the commissions have draft- ed. The cabinet practically gave the promise demanded, provided that the | recently negotiated Canadian-French treaty be ratified. The promise of the government is important, as it constitutes a virtual decision to suspend tariff negotiations with all countries pending a revision of the tariff, whick is not expected to be accomplished -during the present session, The basis of the proposed revision of the tariff are an extension of the double system of rates to all sched- ules, making the lowest maximum rates 50 per cent higher than the min- imum rates, and specifically restrict- ing the grant of minimum rates to countries offering equal concessions to France, DMoreover, as the proposed | revision is being engineered by high tariff advocates, the minimum rates In the case of many schedules will probably be raised. If the high tariff people have their way the proposed law will compel Frarce to bring tar- ift wars against all countries refusing to conclude reciprocity treaties. The United States will be the principal ‘sufterer under the proposed revision unless she concludes a reciprocity treaty with France, as the projected rates for many classes of goods now extensively imported will become pro- hibitive. SAVED BY A SAILOR. Madame Fremstad Narrowly Escapes Death in Midocean. New York, Nov. 4—Madame Olive Fremstad, the opera singer, and sev- eral officers and members of the crew of the steamer La Provence, which has just arrived here from Europe, had a narrow escape from death last Tuesday night. A great wave which Bwept over the steamer carried away portions of the bridge railing, smashed In the steel encased sides of the cap- tain’s cabin and swirled clean across the forward deck. Madame Fremstad, who was on deck at the time, was almost in the path of the great wave. A sailor who saw her peril grasped her and held her against the rail until the danger was passed. “I thought I was gone surely,” said Madame Fremstad as she was leaving the steamer. “The sailor was just in time. He saved my life. It all came 80 quickly that I did not realize my danger.” The steamer had an exceedingly rough voyage all the way across the Atlantic. It wus got until Tuesday, however, that the ship sustained any damage. Just before & o'clock in the evening there came a lull in thes| storm and a moment later a wall of water more than forty feet in height swept against her. The rail on the bridge, which stands forty feet above the sea, was ripped away and the cap- tain and ar officer who stood with him narrowly escaped being carried into the ocean with the rush of water. The side of the captain’'s cabin, construct- ed of steel plate and located directly under the bridge, was crushed in fully two feet.

SCRIP SYSTEM IN USE Pittsburg’s Method of Keeping Industries in Operation. WORKMEN PAID BY CHECK Scarcity of Cash Makes It Impossible to Secure the Seven Million Dollars Necessary to Meet the Enormous Weekly Payroll. Pittsburg, Nov. 4—The checking or sorip system decided upon here owing to the money stringency is in general use by the meémbers of the Pittsburg Clearing House association. That the new arrangement will have a good effect 18 unquestioned. It is believed that business men and employes will accept the plan in the light that it is suggested, which is to insure the steady operation of the great indus- trial establishments of the Pittsburg district. An exceptionally heavy rush of busi- ness is being experienced here and the money situation threatened seri- ous Interruption. The enormous pay- roll, about $7,000,000 a week, had to be met and much anxiety was prev- alent among bankers. The scarcity of money made it almost impossible to make up the payrolls and the sit- uation remained stationary. Under the scrip system employers will pay in checks of $5, §10, $15 and $20 denominations, odd sums being satisfled with cash. The landlord, grocer and butcher are expected to ccept these checks from their cus- tomers the same as currency. TAKE PLACE OF MONEY. Ghecks of Small Denomination Circu- lating at St. Louis. Bt.

At the same time that the new checks were put in commission the Bt. Louls postoffice officials announced that checks will no longer be accept- ed by the postal department here in payment of any sort of an obligation.

Commissioner Would Compel Indians to Accept Work. ‘Washington, Nov. 4.—Commissioner Leupp of the bureau of Indian affairs accepts thé' report of Captain C. P. Johnson, who was sent to placate the restive Ute Indians at Thunder Butte, S. D, as a reflection on the bureau. Citing the fact that the disaffected Utes have refused two offers to work for railroad companies, one of which INDIAN COMMISSIONER LEUPP, contemplated paying them $2 per day for labor only fifteen miles from their present home, Mr. Leupp said: “Johnson proceeds on the theory that the way to handle troublesome Indians is to set them off and feed them. That is not the Indian office theory. This office believes in apply- ing the same rule to the Indians that applies to poor and ignorant men of any race. We believe in finding work for them and then in permitting them to go hungry if they will not accept the opportunity to make a living. These Utes contemptuously decline work, saying that the government would take care of them. “I am perfectly willing to stand re- sponsible for all the advice I have given in the matter, which has been that we should treat the Indians kind- ly, but insist that they shall cease to be paupers when there is work at which they can earn good wages practically at their doors.” At a conference at the White House between the president, Secretary Gar- fleld and Commissioner Leupp the latler’s policy of dealing with the Indians was approved.

ALL FIRE ESCAPES CROWDED Police and Firemen Rescue More Than One Hundred and Fifty Persons and Employes Assist Many Others in Reaching the Street. Chicago, Nov. 4—More than 600 guests of the Plaza hotel fled from their rooms in confusion when fire broke out in the basement of the hos- telry. The building was quickly filled with smoke and many of the guests had difilculty in reaching the street. About 100 men and women fled down the fire escape to the first floor, from which they were assisted by firemen. The fire, which started in the laun- dry, spread rapidly and a few minutes after the alarm was sounded the en- tire building was filled with smoke. The hotel is eight stories high and has accommodations for 1,200 per- sons. The guests, most of them thinly | clad, sought refuge in stores nearby. Some of them had been slightly af- fected by the smoke. About forty women, becoming exhausted, were car- rled down ladde‘rs and fire escapes by firemen. Arthur Hart, the night clerk, and two Dbellboys, who nearly lost their lives in warning the guests of their danger, assisted many in reaching the street. ‘When the firemen reached the build- ing the fire escapes were crowded with frightened mer and women. Some of them jumped from the sec- ond floor landings without ‘waiting to be taken down. Several were severely bruised. Mrs. N. E. Stanger, the housekeeper, was overcome with smoke while warning the guests and had to be carried out. More than 150 rescues were made by the policemen and firemen.

REFUSE LUMBER SHIPMENTS Railroads Invalidate Injunction of Federal Court, Bellingham, Wash.,, Nov, ‘'.—No more lumber shipments will be re- ceived by the Northern Pacific railway in the Northwest until further notice. This is the order that has been sent out to all agents of the company. This move of the Northern Pacific is expected to be followed by all the railroads affected by the injunction issued by the federal court at Seattle Thursday night, making it compulsory for railroads to charge the old rate of 40 cents on lumber shipments from terminal points on the Pacific coast. The roads claim they would be taking too great a risk to allow the excess freight to accumulate until a final de- cision on the rate is made, as they say that litigation will ensue before the matter is settled and many of the lumber firms may have gone out of the business. Another contingency the railroads have to face is the law providing that all rates must be pubTished and posted at least thirty days before they be- come effective, so that in case they decided to go back to the old rates they cannot do it now without the thirty days’ notice. DIVORCE AND RACE SUICIDE Minneapolis Priest Addresses National Purity Congress.- Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. .—Some scathing statements regarding divorce and race suicide were made by Father J. M. Cleary of Minneapolis under the ftheme of ‘“‘Christian Purity in Chris- tian Homes” at the National Purity congress. “Divorce,” said Father Cleary, “is the festering canker which is menac- ing the purity and hallowed character of marriage in society today.

The rain was preceded by a hurricane, which blew with great fury for upwards of twelve hours. Small craft in the harbor were sunk and a number of large vessels badly damaged. As the deluge_struck the town the people were caught up and those in the main path of the storm had no chance to escape.. Several were car- ried out to sea. Some who escaped the flood were killed by being crushed by flying portions of buildings. Two new wireless telegraph sta- tlons were completely destroyed. Orange and lemon groves in the vicin- ity were ruined and the inhabitants are said to be practically destitute. Not a single relic of any of the houses ‘| which were on the hillside remains. Actor Hitchcock Still Missing. New York, Nov. 4—Notwithstand- Ing the active efforts of detectives from the distriet attorney’s office and the New York police department to trace him Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, has disappeared as effectively as though the earth had opened and swallowed him.

MARKET VERY INACTIVE. Prices of Stocks Irregular on New York Exchange. New Yorlk, Nov. \.—Some hesitation was reflected in the irregular fluctua- tions of the opening prices in the stoclg market. The holiday abroad subtracted something from the usual activity of the market, Pennsylvania’s sdvance of 11 on the declaration of the regular dividend subsequently was lost. There was a general rise in prices after the opening, which con- tinued throughout the first hour’s trad- ing. Union Pacific gained 21%. Trans- actlons were in moderate amount. There was a reaction early in the second hour, in which the general list participated. Not all of the earlier gains, however, were wiped out. Amalgamated Copper sold at one time nearl? 2 points down. When this selling was over prices came up somewhat again, but the market fell into practical stagnation. St. Paul rose a point. The sluggish tone of the market persisted throughout the afternoon. Prices ran off to about the lowest of the day in the final dealings and the market closed easy, IN BANKER WALSH CASE. Alleged Conspiracy to Steal Govern. ment Information. Chicago, Nov. ..—Government offi- clals believe that in the arrest of Miss Etta McLean, a stenographer, and Al exander B. Gordee, a printer, they have uncovered a conspiracy to steal the government information regarding the case of John R. Walsh, the former president of the Chicago National bank, now under indictment for al- leged misappropriation of the funds of the bank. Both prisoners were arralgned be- fore United States Commissioner Foote. Miss McLean said she did not care for an attorney. John 8. Miller, who is attorney for Mr. Walgh, sald to Commissioner Foote that Gordee had come to him some time ago with ber of husbands they had. They soothe their depraved conscience by the licentious theory that.they are justified in forming a new union with | the object of their latest capriclous affection. It is sad and shocking.” Touching race suicide Father Cleary said: “The human . species is the only member of the animal kingdom that connives at its own extinction. Noth- ing will excuse it. The assumption that one or two children will be reared better than ten or a dozen is wholly false and cannot be supported by the test of experience.” Receiver for Jockey Club. Kansas City, Nov. 2—Upon petition of Edward Corrigan of Chicago and George Witt of Memphis, principal stockholders, the federal court here has appointed James F. Halpin of Kansas City receiver for the Kansas City Jockey Club and Fair associa- tion.
