Up in Smoke-\u2014Six Lives Lost.New York, Jan, 9\u2014The Immense narble and granite home of the Equitible Life\u2019 Assurance Society, covering + whole block on Lower Broadway, in historic landmark of New York's «arly period of skyscraper buildings nd one of the city\u2019s important finan- ial centres, was to-day destroyed by ire with a loss of six lives and prob- ihly $6,000,000 in property.A dozen persons were injured.Valuable records, including the bi- ngraphy of E.H.Harriman and two priceless law libraries, which cannot se replaced, went up in flames, and the fate of hundreds of millions of dollars\u2019 worth of securities, stored in safe deposit vaults was to-night in question, although it was believed that fireproof construction would save them from damage.Occurring in the heart of the financial district.the fire upset the financial machinery of Wall street and business was practically suspended throughout the day.The great structure, which, besides containing the main offices of the Equitable Life Assurance Saciety, was the home of the Mercantile Trust Company, Be Equitable Trust Company, the banking house of Koutze Bros.August Belmont & Co, the Harriman railroad lines, the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company, the Law Îyers\u2019 Club, and many of the city's most prominent law firms, stands tonight a shell of ice-coated granite, with its once magnificent interior completely gutted.Besides involving heavy financial loss and serious disturbance to big husiness interests, the fire, starting on one of the coldest and windiest mornings of the winter, was one of the most spectacular ever witnessed in the far-downtown sections.Its progress was replete with harrowing incidents, narrow escapes, brave rescues, the men who fought it did so under conditions that taxed both skill and endurance.The intense cold acted almost instantaneously upon the huge volume of water poured upon the flames and a thick ice coating was speedily formed on the facades of towering skyscrapers adjacent and upon the surface of streets for blocks around.The bulwark of these modern fire-proof structures, according to Fire Commissioner Johnson to-night, was invaluable as a protection to the entire financial district.As it was, the damage, except hy water, was confined entirely to the Equitable structure.Of those who lost their lives in the disaster, three men were killed by jumping from a coping of the roof of the structure to which they were driven by the flames.They were employees in the building.Rattalion Chief William J.Waish disappeared in a whirl of smoke and flame early in the progress of the fire.when a eave-in occurred on the third floor where we was fighting the flames.No trace of his body had been found to-night.Two other men, William Campion, captain of the watchmen in the Mersantile Safe Deposit valuts in the basement of the burned structure, and Frank N.Neider, a special officer, whose bodies have not been recovered, complete the list of dead so far as known.Several persons, watchmen and sthers, who were in the doomed struc- .ture when the fire broke out at an early hour, have not been positively accounted for, but are believed to have escaped.The death toll, however, may not be definitely fixed until the flames, which were still raging tonight, have been extinguished and the tuins cooled.The list of injured includes President William J.Giblin, of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company, whose res tue {rom the basement vaults of the \u2018found company, where he was imprisoned, after two hours\u2019 work by firemen was one of the most sensational episodes of the fire.Mr.Giblin had gone igto one of the vaults to save securities and accidentally locked himself in with.one of his employees who accompanied | him.Their cries for help were heard by the firemen, who had to saw through the steel bars of a door leading to the street before they could rescue the imprisoned men.Mr.Giblin was removed to a hospital suffering from exhaustion and smoke.One man in another vault of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company believed to he Campion, could be seen from the street with his legs pinned down by a mass of debris, but could not be rescued because of the heavy stecl doors which barred the way of the firemen.Through the smashed windows of the door he was given the last rites hy Chaplain McGean of the Fire Department just as he was swallowed from view by the dense smoke and not seen again.Spectators of the fire, from the windows of skyscrapers towering ab.ve the building on all sides, told of seeing others disapepar in the flames when the roof caved in, but the authorities believe that the list of casualties already reported is harly likely to be lengthened.Some estimates of the loss run as high as $15,000,000, but more conservative outhorities thought to-night that the damage would not run over $6,- 000,000 at the most.The property was assessed by the city at $12,000,000, a larger sum with one exception than on any other building in the financial district, but by far the greatest part is based on the value of the ground upon which the Equitable building stood.An officer of the Equitable said that the soctety\u2019s own toss would probably not amount to over $300,000, covered by its own.insurance fund, and that duplicates of every record destroyed were \u201cstored in subsidiary offices of the compiny in another part of.he city.The compawy had plann erect a new building on the site, and as figured by the officers the expense of tearing it down will now balance well against the actual value of the building.Stored away in a fire-proof vault, over the main entrance of the building, on the Broadway side, were between $250,000,000 and $300,000,000 of the securities of the company.While the vault was subjected to the fierce heat of the flames, Gage E.Tarhell, a trustee of the Equitable, who is familiar with its construction.said to-night that he believed its contents would be found safe as soon as it cooled.Three streams of water were played upon the vault all day and the freezing weather quickly coated it with ice.One of the most dangerous of the many ordeals which the firemen had to face was the necessity of fighting the flames in showers of granite chips, many of them large enough to crush a man to death, which peeled off the facade of the building like gingerbread.Subjected to intense heat on one side and the icy cold on the other, the granite blocks cracked apart as if they had been glass.Several firemen were badly bruised in this manner.Aided by searchlights from the lofty Singer Building, which ware trained upon the gutted structure, firemen of four hook and ladder companies began a systematic search of the third floor to-night in the hope of recovering the bdy of Battalion Chief Walsh.Compact masses of ice covering the debris made their work exceedingly difficult and not much hope was entertained that the body could bc found until the ice had been cut away, which would probably mean a full night's work.Owing to the large number of securities in the vaults of the: Equitable Society and other institutions in the building, deliveries on the Stock Exchange were suspended during the day by order of the board of governors, while banking business was seriously upset by the inability of employees of the clearing house, which stands just opposite the Equitable Building, on Cedar street, to reach the institution on account of the fire lines.Banks were unable to make their clearances until temporary headguarters were arranged at the Chamber of Commerce in Liberty street and even then it was impossible to transact the amount of business demanded.'NOILLY PRAT The DRY FRENCH VERMOUTH aw, Young & Oc.Montreal TH MEN KILLED, 3 TWO BADLY INJURED

dynamite in the Parrish colliery at Plymouth, near here.The dead are: Elmer Jones, Paul.Rochoski, August Carbs, Henry.Miles, John Humphreys and Anthony Coholis, all of Plymouth.Anthony Lukwitz and Edward Deynon were so badly burned that it is feared they cannot recover.The men, all laborers, were engaged in timbering in No.9 slope of the Par- | rish colliefy, belonging to the Parish Coal

EXCHANGE In Montreal\u2014Han.Messrs.Pelletier, Sproule and Lemieux Make Speeches.«Montreal, Jan.9\u2014The keynote of the toasts which were proposed at the annual banquet of the Builders\u2019 Exchange to-night was constructive througbout, covering the building up of the Dominion, of the city and of the nation.There were present two cabinet ministers, the Postmaster General Hon.Louis P.Pelletier, and Hon.Dr.Sproule, as well as ex-Postmaster General Rodolphe Lemieux, There were about 180 guests present at the banquet in the Windsor Hotel, under the presidency of Mr.James J.Ballantyne, with whom, at the centre table, there sat the Hon.Louis P.Pelletier, postmaster general: Ton Radolphe Lemieux, his predeccessor in office: Hon.Dr.Sproule, Speaker of the House of Commons: Mr.H.B.Ames, Mayor Guerin and others.Hon.D.Sproule being called upon to propose the toast of \u201cCanada\u2014 Building Up a Great Country.\u201d told his hearers that he was at the head of a great building exchange, but not dealitig with iron and stone and weod.He said that the expenditure which their industry represented, three hundred million dollars last year, meant a great deal for the industrial life of the country, giving employment to hundreds of thousands of laborers, and going on in this vein, he expatiated upon the riches and resources of the Dominion.\u201cI am glad,\u201d said Dr.Sproule, \u201cto note that your exchange is trying to solve some of the problems with which we are faced.You are trying to clevate humanity and make Detter artizans and mechanics.As one who has been in parliament some time and who has seen appeals to help Jabor union, T must say I think they have not taken the right way.Ta take people at the wrong time by the throat just when the middle of winter is on and just when labor hours are getting shorter, and then say that they demand higher wages or- they will strike; that is not right, and I say a settlement by strike never satisfactorily settles anytihng: it does good neither to the lahor union nor to the family nor to the builders and the people of the country,\u201d Hon.Louis P.Pelletier assured the president that any deputations on the subject of protection or other trade interests would always receive attention from the government.There were certain problems which Canada had to deal with, said the speaker, and first he put that of a sound transportation system for assuring the export of our produce.There were millions of bushels of grain which were ready to be shipped abroad, hut which failed to be for lack of transport facilities, Mr.Pelletier said in regard to the development of the St.Lawrence waterway: \"I think the time has come for the removal of one of the causes which have kept us in the background.One reason why the St.Lawrenc: route is not popular with transatlantic ships is because of the increased rate of insurance in which respect we are in the hands of Lloyd's.Now 1 ask of you monied men, has not the time come to form a Canadian Lloyd's?[It is would be a difficult thing and there would be some risks, and while I could not make any promise officially, yet, as a member of the government, may venture to say that if in order to remove that difficulty you would put your hands and hearts together and form a Canadian Lloyd's, then it might be the duty of the government to help such a movement and so have .a Canadian Lloyd's giving a reasonsble rate of in surance for ships on the St.Lawrence route.\u201d Mr.H, B.Ames and Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux also spoke.LISTS CLOSE

Seives Resigns \u2014 Negotiations With Germany the Cause.| Paris, Jan.9\u2014The Franco-German- Moroccan treaty, which ended the war crisis a few months ago.brought about this evening a matic manner the | | resignation of French Foreign | Minister, Justice de Selves.This threatens to be follewrd by a general parliamentary investigation and a ministerial upheaval.Charges that financiers of France and Germany were permitted to carry on secret negotiations relative to the Congo and Mofocco caused the rupture.Premier Caillaux.at a meeting of the Senate Committee, gave his | word of homor that there had heen no :no such negotiations, but the Foreign Minister declined to back the Premier, and refused to make a statement, either pro or con.The present crisis has been brewing ever since the treaty was signed, and is due to repeated allegations that the French Ambassador, Jules Cambon did not have a free hand in the negotiations with Germany.and that other negitiations, of which the Foreign Office and the Ambassador were ignorant.were being Secretly conducted between the two countries.concerning railroad concessions in the Congo, Kamerun and Morocco.The storm broke at the meeting of the Senate Committee.with ex-Pre- mier Clemenceau holding a great ad, vantage.Premier Caillaux denied that there had ever been semi-official pourparlers before the interview at Kissingen.He had, he said, repudiated a contract for railroad concession: alleged to have been made between : Frenchman named Fondere and Dr.Semler ,a member of the Reichstag.The Premier narrated the negotiations relative to the proposed railroads in Morocco, and affirmed that he was happy to give his word of honor that there had been no negotiations except those of which the Foreign Office and M.Cambo were fully cognizant.M.Clemenceau arose and looked fixedly at the Foreign Minister.\u201cWall you confirm the statement of the Premier?\u201d he asked.M.De Selves at first refused to answers, but pressed by Senator Bourgeois, chairman of the committee.finally said \u201cIL cannot answer the question.| am Bed between a double duty to stick to the truth and tell alt, and not to hurt the interests of the country by deserting the Cabinet.\u201d These words created a sensation, and the committee adjourned in great confusion.Afterwards a second scene was enacted in the ante-room to which Premier Caillaux, Foreign Minister De Selves and ex-Premier Clemenceau withdrew.M.Clemenceau, according to friends of M.De Selves, reproached Premier Caillaux in violent terms for fostering secret negotiations, of which M.Clemenceau said he had been for a long time informed.The Foreign Minister, for his part, frankly told the Premier that he could not longer sit beside him in the Cabinet, and therefore resigned, M.De Selves sent his letter of resignation to President Fallieres.In it he pointed out that he no longer wished to assume the responsibility of the Foreign portfolio, with a split in the cabinet.He also issued a statement in which he said he was confident that he had served his country well\u2014a task often not easy, for in the last six months he had faced enormous difficulties.le admitted he could not publicly protest against the statement of Premier Caillaux.On the other hand, his conscience forbade him to confirm it.The Premier likewise issued a statement, in which he insisted that he had told the whole truth.He had always refused.he said, to listen to people who approached him relative to the negotiations, saying that Ambassador Cambon alone had the right to speak for France.The other Cabinet Ministers met to- fight to discuss the situation, but no action was taken.It is rumored that M.Delcasse, Minister of Marine, may he appointed head of the Foreign Office.WILL CUSTOM HOUSES RUN ON BUSINESS LINES.Ottawa, Jan.9\u2014\"We want the customs house in Ottawa and other c'ties run along business lines,\u201d said Hon.Dr.Reid to-day when asked in reference to the recent protests from merchants and others of inconeniences suffered because the local customs house would not transact business after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.\u201cWhile it has æiweys been the rule that the customs houses throughout Canada should close at four o'clock for the transaction of outyide business I have found, after investigation many bitter complaints made to me, that in many transactions, persons arriving at the customs house a few minutes before the closing hour were unable to have their wants attended to.because of the refusal of the clerks and officials to work a few minutes over the appointed hour for closing,\u201d said the Minister.\u201c0 realized that this should not be so, and 1 have given instructions to the collectors that when a person arrives at the custom house in time to gain admission before closing time his business must be attended to regardless of the time it may take.This.I believe, is the business principle of banks and other houses, and 1 want ie anslied to the customs.\u2019 Tomperaturas Minimum, 4; Maximum, 16.16962 Tilser) 16969 16978 Waltz\" Here is a fine range of Selections from the Victor reper- VICTOR RECORDS

heard in the Provincial Parliament, Beyond: the annaunce- connect the Temiscamingue and Abitibbi regions with the more populous centres of consumption and distribution, thore is gothing out of the humdrum in the bill of fare provided.In fact, the impression hich it leaves upon che mind is that the Gouin Government is woving with extreme caution in these days.From the items under consideration it may he inferred that the Gouin | Ministry is more likely to continue j the policy which it has followed for | | ! some time, rather than to make any startling changes in the near future.We would not be so partisan as to deny that that policy has in the main he«n beneficial to the Province though it has its weaknesses.To the proposals to work for better rural roads and to construct new railroads toward the northern timberland no one can object.Both, if properly i carried out, should be a boon to agriculture and colonization.Nor is any: ; one likely to quarrel with the idea of encouraging education.These are ali known wants, and the only question is how far expenditures will be justified by results and how far the interests of the taxpayers generally will be subordinated to those of contractors snd speculators.There can be little + doubt that most of the government | works have been needlessly expen- ; sive.We are glad to see that progress has been made in the matter of abolishing toll gates and that the govern- =; ment proclaims its resolve to go i ahead with this work.The reorgani- , ation af the -anitary service of the province will be another measure of importance.Judging from the present ouiluok it appears as though the session would Di he a quiet and ordinary one.Appear- | ances, however, arc deceptive.THE BEEF TRUST REVELATION Wien complaint made

repeated.Yet now, after years of delay.when the packing magnates have at last come up for trial.evidence is forthcoming i to prove that the beef truat utilized every opportunity to obtain inordi nate profits.The touch of Midas, which turned dross into gold, wus but paltry manipulation wlen compared with the squeexmg operations of ; Armour, Swift, Morris.etc.Appartently their success was only exceedes| hy their avarice, At the trial a good deal of information was supplied by Veeder, the at- tourney who advised the trust and de- vived many of the sharp tricks practised.Knowing that the truth concerning heed trust profits could no fenger he concealed, Veeded divulged the fact that the packers had organized more than 125 subsidiary corporation.each oi which was an incubator capable of hatching out enormous prodits.One of these weulth-produe- ing subsidiary corporations, the Kenwood Company.was capitalized at $14,000.But it regularly declared div- idents amounting to $4,000.000 a year.(her corporations, similarly small und obscure, yielded tremendous dividends.By fixing matters so that a subsidiary enrporation which required nothing more than a post-office box | to contains its transactions, could ab- | aorh the gains extoried from the pub- Tlic by the packers, it could he made \u201cte appear that the packing business produced only two per cent.profit.I Veeder also found it expedient to | admit that though the packers had protested that they were only making two per cent.profit.the business conducted by the beef trust in fact was | so gainful that it was \u201cfinancially jus- i tifiable™ to water the stock of a proposed amalgamation to the extent of , nearly $600,000.000.In other worde.| it was represented.not tq the public, hut to Morgan and other great tinap- ciers, that the business was sufficiently profitable to pay interest on $500,000.00 more, the exaggerated value of all ! the tangible assets of the companies | to he ineluded in the combination.The ! property of every kind owned by all the companies composing the trust probably represented the actual in.| vestment of less than $47,000.00.Bug .{ was given \"a tangible value\u201d of $182.- in the appraisement, for stock jobbing purposes, the aguregated property 000,000.\u2018fo the figures thus swollen.the trust magnates proposed to add $551,000,000 more.By skinning the public

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS Made by Minister of Militia and General Mackenzie \u2014 Local Permanent Force to Be Increased.One of the most enjoyabie tt _\u2014 teresting events of the seasdn was the complimentary dinner tendered to Colthe Hon.Sam Hughes, Minister of Militis of Canada, by the members of the Quebec Garrison Club.The dinner was a most popular onte in every respect, both from the point of view of the genuine popularity felt by the members of the club to Col.Hughes and also for the exceptionally pleasant and ideal dinner served by the club.Col.Hughes is no stranger in Quebec, and his extreme popularity can be attributed to his genuine desire to build yp Canada's militia by every possible means in his power.In his remarks 1ast night he reviewed the military past records of Quebec and referred | to the grest military enthusiasm of Quebec as an object lesson to the entire Dominion.Col.Hughes is a Lusiness man, and is conducting the affairs: of his department in a most exemplary manner.He is unsparing in his efforts.not only in connection with the members of his stuff and department, but also on his own behalf.A most Important announcement made by the minister was the refuta- tlon of certain rumors regarding the removal of any of our military units from Quebec.He was most emphatic on this point, and stated that not only would there be no drafting away from this city, but, on the contrary, the strength here would no doubt he considerably increased in the near future.the subject of training up the younger element through the mediums of the | Bey Scouts and the cadet corps, and greatly complimented Col.Macpher- ! son.Mr.Balfour and others for their { untiring work in this connection.| General Mackenzie, who also spoke at length.gave out amid great ap- : plause that the work of the extension , of our Drill Hall would be commenced | without any unnecessary delay.This i has been a great defect in the recruiting of the city corps, and the addition will be heartily welcomed by all in the city.Col.Fiset, Deputy Minister of Militia, also spoke in connection with mili tary matters of the district, and gave considerable credit to the business-like methods in which this important department is now being conducted.Mr.J.G.Scott was the last speaker and gave some interesting reminiscences of past years in the local militia.The chair last night was occupied by the president of the club, Colonel Gaudet, and at the principal table were also seated Col.Turnbull, Col.Fiset, Deputy Minister of Militia; Major General Mackenzie, Col.R.E.W.Turner, Lieut.Col.Burstall and Lieut.Col.Ray and others.The subscribing members present were: Col.J.F.Turnbull, Col.F.M.Gaudet.Major General Mackenzie, Lieut.Col.R.E.W.Turner, Lieut.Col.B.A.Scott,

second story of the Ursuline Convent caused some 3p- prehension for a time, especially in view of the fact that there are a large number of girl scholars in the institution, but the firemen soon got the biaze under control, although smoke and water damaged the room eonsid- erably, the loss probably being about $1,500.The pupils were all taken to another part of the building by the sisters in charge of the institution and none were injured.It is not known what caused the fire, as there are no electric wires of gas in the room, and the fire started in the ceiling.MILITARY SMOKER AT

time.«i a Col.Hughes dwelt very strongly on\u2019 GREAT DAY FOR QUEBEC BOYS Three Hundred Cadets and Boy Scouts Inspected by Minister of Militia.Yesterday was a great day for Quebec boys.A parade of 300 stalwart youngsters presented arms to Colonel Samuel Hughes, Minister of Militia and Defence at the Drill Hall Colonel Hughes and General Mackenzie accompanied by the two newly appointed A.D.A.A.G's of Cadets, Major S.H.Hill and Capt.E.Theo.Paquet, made a close inspection of the ranks.Colonel Rughes complimented the Scout Masters on the lot of well set up boys they had on parade.The Minister was much pleased with the steadiness of the Cadets of the Seminary, High and Victoria Schools and complimented the instructors, Q.M.S.I.Good and Sergt.Joticoeur, on the thorough training they had given the vadets under their charge.Passing along the line the next body to be inspected was the St.Damasse Cadet Corps.These boys have so far confined their training to gymnastic work in which horizontal and parallel bars, horse, tings, overhead ladder and other aparatus is used.The boys have received their instruction from Sergt.John Pike, R.C.G.A.who deserves the greatest for the lot of well set up lads he has turned out.But the inspecting officers were simply amazed at the band of this corps.The boys, dressed in neat blue uniforms with white facings, aged from 10 to 12 years, and 40 in number, discoursed a programme of music, the rendering of which was a revelation to all present.In spite of the storm that raged without, making the road to the Drill Hall well nigh impassable a large number of spectators attended.The galleries were crowded, one whole gallery being taken up by the hays of St.Patrick's School under Brother James, the rector.These boys are to take up drill, physical exercises and rifle shooting, and the unit will have to be reckoned with in future competitions.The inspection concluded, the Minister addressed the assemblage, dwelling upon the necessity of physical exercises as a means of building up a strong manhood in this great country of ours.|It was a credit to the cadets and scouts of Quebec that there should be such a great gathering in the face of such a storm.Colonel Hughes referred to the boy scouts who were doing such good work in Canada, the Seminary boys, the St.Damasse Cadets, and others, but especially praised the juvenile band of the St.Damasse Cadets.He said the militia administration of Canada had nothing but praise for the admirable work being done in the city of Quebec.He highly congratulated the gentlemen who had so faithfully supported the movement of training the boys which could not fail to be of mental, moral and physical benefit.The presentation of the King's Coronation medals to Major 8.H.Hill and five of the Quebec cadets who had been sent to England for che Imperial Cadet rifle matches then took place.The recipients were warmly applauded as Colonel Hughes pinned the decoration to their breasts.Cadet Captain Paulette, wha now lives at Richmond, was to have received his medal too.but he was stormbound, his train being several hours late, and reached Quebec too late to paride with his old associates.The following trophies and awards were then presented: \u2014Canadian Rifle League, to Quebec High School, five [ Many a Mother has seen her delicate child grow strong and sturdy on
