A DEEP SEA CABLE PRACTICABLE.
Want Congress to Close the-' Exposition
on Sunday A Verdict for 11,
OOO Damage.
London, Dec. 10. The St. James
Gazette in conmenting today on Presi
dent Harrison's . message says : "The
most important point in the- document
is that part which has reference to the
result of the McKinley tariff. The
figures presented," the Gazette declares,
compare significantly with British
figures, which- remain stationary. The
calculations of the supporters of the Mc
Kinley bill are working out much bet
ter than any: one in England expected."
The Globe sarcastically comments on
the message,; which it says was adroitly
traced to catch the voter. The Globe
disputes the statement made in themes
sage that the prosperity of the United
States is entirely due to the McKinley
bill. On the contrary it says the pros
perity of this country is the exceptional
harvest there at the time when Europe
is short of grain.

main in port about two weeks, when she

about 2,500.

Louisville, Dec. 9. Sixteen lives
were lost in a fire this morning. Earty
this morning a fire broke out and des
troyed the four-story building of Bam-'
berg, Strong & Co. A number of fire
men were caught under a falling wall of
the building, and the chief of the fire
men, Hughes, and Captain Wetherford
were injured. There are four dead fire
men under the walls and four others are
badly hurt. The dead are: William.
Davis, Sam Baker, William Moore and
Tony Schlich. At 8 o'clock another
fatal fire started at T. M. Menn & Co.'s
wholesale candy and fancy grocery
house, one square above Bamberg &
Strong's establishment. There were
forty girls at work on the fourth floor
and all of them were not able to escape.
The bodies of six girls have already been
taken out, and are almost beyond iden
tification. G. T. Menn, a brother of the
senior member of the firm, is supposed
to have been burned to death and the
firemen think that at least five more ,
girls will be found as soon as a thorough
search .can be made. The fire cut off
escape by the stairway leading from the
fourth story, where the girls were at
work, and many jumped from the win
dows to the second story projection and
escaped with broken limbs and bruised
bodies. Many others got out unhurt.
Great confusion exists. '
The street," where the principal
wholesale traffic of the city goes on, was
blockaded, and most of the business was
almost at a standstill, the loss on Menn
& Co.'s building and stock is placed at.
$75,000, and the total loss will be of
nearly three quarters of a million. The
flames were stopped at George W..'
Wickes & Co.'s cotton house.
