TERRORSTRICKEN GIRLS JUMP FROM THIRD AND FOURTH STORY WINDOWS To ESCAPE THE FLAMES, WHICH SPREAD WITH APPALI- ING RAPIDITY — HEART-RENDING SCENES ABOUT THE RUINS—FOUR FIREMEN BURIED BY A FALLING WALL. New York, May 5.—Athalf past nine this morning @ fire was discovered in the engine- room of a sort of general factory, which fronts on Columbia street, south of State street, Brook- lyn, and occupies more than two-thirds of the block, running through to Atlantic street. A dozen manufacturing firms had portions of the building, and employed altogether sicty hands, chiefly young women, all of whom were at work in some of the five stories of the building. Before an alarm could be sounded the inflam- mable, tinder-like woodwork of the exterior was all ablaze, and the first fireman who ar- rived tound many of the panie-stricken female Operatives crowding, shrieking wildly, at the ‘Windows which opened upon the interior area of the works. Two wings of the factory, run- ning toward Atlantic avenue, were the oaly portions not fiercely blazing, but the women might have been saved without difficulty if they had kept cool. JUMPING FROM FOURTH STORY WINDOWS. Ladders were run up to them promptly, but the imperiled girls had already begun the dan- gerous experiment of throwing themselves out of the second, third and even fourth-story win- dows.

Despite the prompt action of the who formed fire lines almost ax soon as the fire: men got to work, dozens of persons assailed the ‘othcers with tearful inquiries for their relatives who had not been seen since the fire. These at noon numbered ten, but It is possible that some ‘of them may be fouhd in the neighboring tene- ments. A PERFRUT FIRE-TRAP. The firemen had got at work with reasonable promptitude, but the inflammable character and peculiar constraction gave them little chance to save the factory. “it was so narrow and possessed so many windows with wooden cusements and so many interior shaits that it was like a blast farnace within the first half hour and retumed the streains of water in the shape of steam without in the least diminisb- Ing the brightness of the blaze. ‘Shortly after ten o'clock the roof collapsed and the Columbia street wall immediately afterward buiged and fell.

Loxpox, May 5.—The Post, in an editorial this morning, says: “One more humiliation, when they crowd 80 thickly on us, would be of little moment If thereby we avoided war, but even if the frontier question is settled the Inevi- table conflict will only be postponed for a brief period.” The Standard says editorially: “Earl Gran- ville throws up the sponge in the most artistic manner. We have no doubt that when the British empire perishes it, too, will have learned to die wsthetically. It remains to be seen hi much life there is init yet. ‘The only serious matter is Luinsden, whoin all Asia is laughing at. We are unable to say what will become of him. Will_he_be able to report the severity ot the weather, the sharpness of Russian sabers, the fineness of Russian humor. Atany rate, he has not surrendered the frontier. That is left to negotiation.” The Times,in an editorial, says: “There Is little to be thankful for except the fact that war has been avoided at a price which as yet we are unable to calculate with precision, as it is de- pendent upon the Russian government's ability tocurb the aggressive spirit of the military party.” More Moderate Papers Approve. The moderate papers and the public in gen- gralare inclined to approve the present plan of settlement, as it will allow Engiand. tine in which to put her army and navy in perfect fighting order for a final struggle,which the ma- Jority believe to be certain to occur.
