He has an enormons appetite, and has been gain- ing flesh within the past twenty- four hours at the rate of an half pound an hour. Dr. Work says: **The fact that Dr. Tanner has such a appetite and such remarkable di ive powers, shows conclusi was not reduced to a conditic anition even by forty abstinence from food. He could have gome on fasting several days longer. Special dispateh to The Boe. New Yok, August 10—10 p. m.— Dr. Tanner still continues to be the subject general interest. He feasts continnally, and seems unable to satisfy the cravings of his stomach. After two hours sleep last night he awoke a few minutes before midnight and his face and hands were bathed in ammonia, after which he drank two cunces of wineaud ate a cracker. Ho then slept quietly until 4 c’clock this morning, 0 s AN LS Guno of milk. Three hours later he arose and ate a quarter of & pound of beef- steak and a dish of potatoes stewed in milk, After reading the morning papers and_his correspondence, which comprised between sixty and seventy letters, he complained of being hun- gry, and ate half a pound of steak, nine ounces of stewed potatoes and drank six ounces of milk. This was at10:20. He was then weighed and raised the beam at 136 pounds, a_gain of fourteen and a half pounds. Twe) ty minutes later he drak more milk and received callers and at 1 o’clock this afternoon he was entertaining his visitors. Dr. Tttle examined a speci- men of his blood_thirty hours after the fast had closed, and found it still in an impoverished condition. Thero was a superabundance of lincocypes which indicates the condition of & fent in the last stages of wasting disease. Tanner re and p: ved over 400 letters tal cards since yesterday morn- ing. Amorg them were many from lecture bureaus asking him to lecture, from pl s asking bim to describe his feelings in detail, and from theatrical managers offoring him tampting inducements for short engagements. He has also received some leap-year offors of marriag prebably written by wsgs. Tann has not made up his mumnd what ho shali do.

Later he felt hungry, and ate a dozen large raw oysters and a lot of crackers, and dravk some E ale, and about an hour after had & super of steak, etc. He continued to eat and drink and talk until after 10 o'clcck, when he went to bed.

Secretary Evarts Summar- izes Reports from Dif- ferent Countries, Showing That Uncle Sim is Gradually Gaining For- eign Trade, Competing Successfully With England in Various Quarters, Our Commerce Still Crippled, But Can be Improved. The Opportunity for Free Trade Lost---Caution Counseled. Cur Trade Abroad. Special Diepatch to Tho Beo WasiINGToN, August 11—1a, m.— In a letter addressed to the speaker of the house, dated May 1 last, S retary Evarts submits his annus port npen the commercial relstions of the United States with foreign countries for the vear 1 The port contains very many inferesting features. The sccretary says it s a pleasurs to be able to stats that the promises hell out iu our cousular ro- ports, during the last two or throo years, of & revival of trado and iudus overal coantrios of Euarope w in 1879, Whi i from the depr ion of the past s years iuto i recovery is elow or awift a the magnitude aud intensity of de- pression and disorganization, it would scem from reports herewlth, s well as from etill lator information_re ed, that European trade and ind ha swest depth dur- ing the Dur- ing the first six months of 1879 the preparation, or cl up period, had arrived, and a positive revival took place during the last six months of the Inter year. As an incentive to this revival came trom the United States, I beg to invite your atiention to the fulfillment of Europe In this regard, notwithsta der. revival in trade in tho United States during the year 1879 has re- in enlirged impo continastion there, especially in the line of manufactures, can acarcely be expected by Enrope, Leading man- ufactarers and economists of Eurove would seem to share in the belief, and acoordis gly combat tho canger of re- lyiog upon an increase in €xporis to the United States. The anxiety of European producers to get rid of their dead stock were highly favorablo for American pur- chasers in that quarter. hence a com- patatively large increase of exports to the United States. During the last halt of the year 1879, the charac- tar of the exporte, which show this in- crease, proves that European manu. facturcs, unless in special lines wherein our own manufactures aro et undeveloped, can not build upon inore than a very moderate increase in their sales to the United States. Theincrease in exports from France, England and Germany will bo better understood from the following. state- ment: Franco—An increaso of $10,388,- 000, occurring priucipally in dress goods, silks, laces, jewolry, precious stones, wines, ete. Germany—An increase of §6,000,- 000, principally in fancy goods and cotton manufactures. A very marked decreate took place in silk goods and silk ribboos. Great Britain—An increase of $27 000,000; of this increase, pig iron, cast iron, wool and articles necessary to our industries constituted about $16,000,000, leaving an increase in manufastures, principally in linen and jute goods, railroad iron, woolen goods and earthen and china ware, of about §11,000,000. The foregoing increase of $12,000,- 000, which would scarcely be noted in normal times, owing to the depressed condition of {rade, cave hopo and re- newed courage to all Europe. In ad- dition to the goneral rovival of trade and industry, the year 1879 marks an epoch in_the commercial economy of the world, The tariff laws of Ger- many, which went into effect during that year, msrshaled all Barope— En. gland and the Nethorlands excepted —into line on protective questions. The acknowledgement by Germany of her inability to compete with othar nations of Europo in manufactures, without the adoption_of moat ultra protective measuras, is a severe com- ment on her fancied recurity fn Eu rope and on economical labor against the protected labor of her neighbors. Not only did the German poople do that, as thoso who were concerned in special interests affected, demand pro- tection against French, Eoglish and Belgian m: arers, but. the loud- est demands c rom crests which were endangered by manufac- tures and products. Tho result is that Germany, whose fndustry and chea labor were supposed to overmatck other countries, has goue fo er protective priuciples than any other country, even f{axibg forcign breadstufts and provisions to save her ‘home indus! , in this line, slmost to probibition. The Netherlands, being principally intermediary in commerse, tinds in free trade her best protection. England, may, therefore, boset down as the only free trade cotntry in Eu- rope; bat there is a growing feeling in favor of protection even in Eng The agitadon in the United Sta present for a revision of our tariff Jaws seemed speciaily to demand that 1 er i T should call your attention to the | foregoing facts concerning the present attitude of Europe in this regard. It seems to me that any action look- ing toa charge in our present tariff, which would leave international appli- cations and complzations out of view, would be an unwise and narrow treat- ment of so important a qaestion. Af- ter maintainiog tariff when Europe was moetly_free, to open our ports now wken Europe has closed all her ports against us is a subject which re- quires most disinterested and patriotic consideration, which shall be above the clamor of special interasts, keep- in view only the geperal good, In conclusion the secretary gives the re- sult of the world's trade as follows: The annual imports into Africa of American goods smount to only $4,356.000, while those from Eng- land amount to £60,000,000, and those from France to $54,712,000. The imports of the northern division of the continent bear evidence, how- ever, to be an increasing demand for American products, and there can be 10 doubt that a large American trade can be developed in this important division. The imports of the Ameri- can cortinent, the United States ex cepted, are: From England,$140,000,- 000; from the United States, $93,000,- 000, and from France, £60,000,000. The only countries aud colonies on this continent to which we sell more goods «nnually than are sold by Eng- land areMexico, the West India Is- lands and the United States of Colom- bia. Leaving Canada out of the cal- culation, with which France has acercely any trade, the trade of France and tho United States is about equal. | In the imports of American contract, outside of England, we control the principal portion of the Australian import trade, but this portion is in- significant when compared to the i ports from England, viz.: $68,000,000 to £9,500,000. Still our trade with Australia is steadily increasing, its drawback being the insignificance of return trade. The total imports of amount to $57,535,000, of which land supplies $21,260,000, the United States 212,519,000 and Frauce only 7,000, The cause which operates against American trade with Africa and with erica is the want of steam communication and of rep- resentativs meri commercial houses. In astill more emphatic man- ner our trade with Asia is affected, owing to the fact that our flag is scarcoly ever eosn in many important parts, and American geods are un- known in some of the principal marta, Notwithstanding all these drawbacks, our trade with the principal countries is steadily advanc to bo no reason why exports from this country to Asia should not equal the imports from that continent to this. No other country has such a_faver- able {rade showing as ours. The to- tal balance of trade in favor of sl! cougtries do not amount to one-hslf the balance of trads in favor of the nited States. Our exports of bread- stufls and provisions, aud of other national products, which constitute so large a part of our foreign trade, have been increasing till they have excited the wonder of nations. In regard to cur export trade in manufatures it can be enid that it has passed from an ex- perimental to an assured stage. ‘The Knights' Brrant. Special Dispich to The Bee.

So tho old slate is virtually smashed and there is a lively hustling about, to make up a new one, and no one can tell what a day may bring forth.

Over ten acres of fire arenow raging, and the conflagration is entirely be- yond the control of the firemen. Several of the burnivg vessels were towed into the river, and are drifting towards Blackwell’s Island, enveloped in sheets of flame. The fire is spread- ing in every direction, and the sceno from the river is one of indiscribable grandeur. Manysmall boats filled with spectaters are hovering around the scene, but are compelled to remain on the opposite side of the river and far above and far below, as the heat from the conflagration is terrible. It s now estimated that $3,000,000 worth of property is in danger. GRAPPLING WITH THE FLAMES, Speciai Dispatch to The Bes. New Yok, August 10, 4 p. m.— The fire in Hunter's Point fs still burzing and is as far beyond *he con- trol of the firemen ss ever. Steamers were summoned from Broo'lya and Long Ieland City and a'l the hand nes from Hunter's Point were called to the sceme of tle con- flagration. The men recog g how futile their efforts would to cope with the flames began at once to remove the piles of lumber as yet nufired. Near a point where the conflagration basnowreached,is anoth- er lumber yard containing 7,000,000 feet of lumber. Sixteen seagoing vessels and numerous barges and small aft were at one time in dan. ser, and as many of them had, i or- dor to cscape, to pass through a draw bridge, great conster- nation _ ensued. The bridzeman was excited and lost his bead, but after atime the vessels were got out into the stream and moved out of danger. Over twenty tugs are now working to suppress the flames in connection with fire stesmer Fave- meyer and the land engines. A large force of police have been ordered to tho scene. More than 20,000 per- eons are pressing against the firo lines. Four years ago the property on the same site was swept awsy by fire THE LOSSES, 5o far 28 can bo_estimated, were as follows: Chas. Watson's lumber yard, $200,000; insured. Export lumber company, $500,000; insured. Ship- ping, $300,000; partislly insured. Pratt’s Oil works are adjacent to the lire and were at one time in great danger, buta fortunate change in the direction of the wind saved them from immediato conflagrati Shoula thoy take fro the loss will be terrible. The banks of the river upon the New York side are thronged with spectators, and all_the lines of cara leading in that direction are crowded, while vast numbers of pe- destrians are moving in_the same di- rection. Should the conflagration not bo stayed, within a short time all the engines which can be spared from New York w:ll be sent to the scene. DANGER OVER. New Yorx, August1l, 1a. m.—Tt s noon before the progress cf the flames at Hunter's Point could bo checked to any extent and not until nearly night fall that the danger of their spreading further was averted. The fire is still burning end the amount of the loss eannot bo defifin- itely ascertained. Mr. Webster, bus- iness managerof the Export company, eail that there wore from 15,000, 000 ,000,000 feet of lumber the yard with an approxi- iuation of 3500,000. Fully of the Jumber is consumed, 1 bring the company’s loss to about $25,000; the loes is well cov- cred by iusurance. In addition to the lumber burned in the yard, sever- al small vessels loaded with lumber were deatroyed. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH. New York Money and Stock.
