been marvelously calm. The weather was
sunny and warm, and good, strong breezes

Americans to start two hours before sun

and a good cook, to spend a whole day on
the sea and return after dinner in time to
dress and appear at 10 o'clock at one of
the fancy bulls constantly organized.
Mrs. John Drexel has originated 5 o'clock

are set all around the center, whlrh Is
reserved for desultory conversational waltz

provide what the public want, whereas the
English manufacturers only supply what
they think best.
"The English manufacturers have now

and privileges In every possible way, and
Insisted in tbe face of Lord Salisbury's
advice on appointing WInnlngton Ingram no

devotion to the poor. Salisbury wanted
merely a scholarly divine of the usual type.

BERLIN, March 16. iNew York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Premier
Salisbury's speech before the British
Chamber of Commerce In London has con
centrated attention here on the great tri
partite commercial rivalry between Eng
land, Germany and the United States.
The Zcltung, referring to England's na
tional commercial slump, says: "The
British trade lords at first despised Yankee
push, and in a ruthless manner they clung
fast to every foot of ground they had won.
When, however, the Oerman knlcknark
muck and truck trade constantly gained In
extent, while the cute Yankee was ready to
supply Britain's customer's with anything
from a safety match to a menagerie, the
British became thoughtful. The British
lords of commerce even regarded as some
thing dishonoring certain forms of en
tirely honorable business methods practiced
without any social humiliation by German
and American merchant. ,
"The lack of the great staple com
modities, which forroeily told heavily
against the German's trade, thus has becu
turned to his advantage, for, owing to tho
variety of his wares, h penetrated far
deeper into the economic life of his
customers than the British, merchant, who
concentrated his attention on one or more
of the great staple, commodities."
The National Zeltung it confident that
Germany and America can maintain the
lead they have acquired.

PARIS, March 16. (New Y'ork World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Count Bonl
de Cattellane wounded M. Fernand de
Rodays, editor of Figaro, in their duel to
day on tbe Crst exchango of shots. The
count was not touched. M. dc Rodays was
hit on the outsido of the right thigh, flvo
Inches below the hip joint. He bled freely
at first, but the hemorrhage was soon
checked and a temporary bandage was ap
piled on tbe ground. Tho attending physi
cians told tbe World correspondent tonight
that the wound, though deep. Is not danger
ous. The bone was not touched.
After Count Bonl heard his adversary
cry, "I am wounded!" then saw him stag
ger, he moved swiftly, throwing away his
pistol as be walked, as though his first Im
pulse was to render help.
Gaston Jolllvet, one of his seconds.
stopped him quickly, whereupon Count de
Dion, his other second, went over to the
other group and said to M de Rodays:
"Count de Cattellane begs to know bow
you are. We all hope that nothing serious
has befallen you.
M. de Rodays, leaning upon his elbow,
answered: "I think not."
Count de Dion then walked back and re
ported to his principal.
It was exactly 3:20 p. m. when Count do
Dion, In a stentorian voice, commanded
"Fire!"
Two shots answered simultaneously like
a single report. Once more Count Bonl dc
CaBtellane had wounded an adversary, com
Ing off himself scot ftee.
Ilonl Seem Invulnerable.
It Is remarkable fact that Bonl seems lu
vulnerable. Never has he been touched In
any of his sword or pistol encounters. Cas
tellane was grinning and chatting plea;
antly with friends till the moment of the
firing, when his countenance became sud
denly drawn and his jaws hardseL. M.
de Rodays was calm, but serious aulTcry
pale.
After dinner tonight tho count tele
phoned to M. de Rodays' house to Inquire
how he was. Afterward he left with
Countess Anna for a theater, where both
sat In the forward part of a box, the
cynosure of all eyes. Between the acts
prowds of friends called to congratulate
the count on the (to him) fortunate result.
Despite all efforts made to conceal the
time and place of tbe duel the World cor
respondent was there. Only two other
newspaper men witnessed the duel.
Both duelists spent tbe morning at their
bouses, absolutely guarded against Intrusion
by even their best friends. At noon pre
cisely the count's lawyer and a notary
called by appointment. Bonl made some
recommendations and entrusted to them
some scaled papers, evidently taking meas
ures In case of a possible mishap. At noon
Bonl took a light luncheon In the sole com
pany of his wife, who, according to the
butler attending them, wept softly most of
the time. Bonl comforted her. laughing
and joking. At the conclusion of the meal
he tenderly took his wife around the waist
and both walked thus to the nursery, where
Bonl played five minutes with bis children.
Slad Itnee from the Cnrlou.
At 2 o'clock the World representative
watching Rodays' place rushed a telephone
message from a neighboring store to the
correspondent awaiting Bonl's departure In
an automobile within sight of the cele
brated avenue Malakoff palace. Thirty
minutes later Count Bonl drove up In
large, closed landeau, driving a spanking
team. The footman rushed in and Bonl
immediately Joined bis seconds. Then the
carriage wheeled around sharply through
the large court of honor, heading toward
tbe Bols Boulougnc. Then began a mad
race. There was a procession of carriages
filled with reporters or tho mere curious.
Within fifteen minutes all ordinary cabs,
unable to follow tho swift team, dropped
out of sight. TBe World automobile kept
right abreast, commanding a full view of
tbe Interior of the carriage. Castellane and
Dion remained absolutely as silent as tbe
grave.
Presently Bonl lighted a cigar. Then he
held his right arm high up till they
reached the Velodrome at Pare des Princes,
just outside of Paris, between tbe suburban
town of Boulogne and the Auteull race
track, where Bonl once helped to smash
Loubet's top bat. This strange position
of the arm was afterward explained as
giving additional steadiness to the car
riage. Klnanirn Hefusrd Adiulttnncr.
They entered the bicycle track, which
Immediately closed. Even Bonl's father,
two brothers and Count Jean and Count
Stanislas, who arrived In one minute lu
another automobile, were sternly refused
admittance, but by ranging vehicles along
the fence and climbing to the top full,
though distant, view wos commanded.
When Castellane and Dion disembarked
they were met by the other second and
the doctor nnd shook hands.
Do Rodays' party, also comprising four,

The groups, all dressed in black and with
top bats, saluted from a distance. Tho
seconds got together in the center, while
the principals remained with their respec
live doctors. While some consultation was
going on, two American correspondents
present scaled the high board fence and
landing inside tbe turf skipped across
toward the deserted grandstand, where
everything could be beard and every play
of the countenances observed. Bonl saw
the correspondents conceal themselves
among the benches and smiled, but did not
denounce them.
Presently the seconds parted five paces
and saluted again solmenly. Then Dion
spoke up, saying to tbe opposite side
"Messieurs, will you please assign tbe
combatants tbelr places?"

Dion replied "By obedience to your

NEW YORK. March 16. Dissatisfied
stockholders of the International Zinc com
pany conferred at tbe office of C. H. A.
Dougherty, a custom bouse broker, today
with reference to concerted action to save
what temalns of tbe mining property. Mr.
Dougherty represents holders of somo 200,
000 shares, who must, raise 115,000 immedi
ately to btny foreclosure proceedings, nnd
bb much more later on to make effective
some reorganization plan.
Mr. Dougherty. Jnmes McNabo and II. D,
ShoemaLei of this city we're appointed a
committee to arrange for tho prevention of
tho foreclosure procedure.
The probable plan of reorganization, so
far as It was forecasted at the meeting
will probably include a calling in tho stock
and an Issue of new stock, one share of the
new to bo given for each five or ten of the
old shares, thus reducing the capital of
the company from $1,000,000 to tlOO.000 or
$200,000, as the caso may be.
In effecting this reorganization the com
mlttee will be confronted with a tcrlous
difficulty. The looks of the concern. It is
said, have been lost and It is not known
at present Just where they can be found.
Until the books are found the reorganlza
Hon committee will be without a list of
stockholders.

Lockwood, the night clerk, und locked him
In a cloak room. The safe was blown open

Lockwood was alone In the office when ho
heard a knock at the front door. When he
asked what was wanted one of the men
covered him with a revolver nnd com
manded blm to throw up hU hands and
keep still. The intruders forced Lockwood
to go through the conductors' room Into a
small cloak room. They locked tbo" door
and ono of the men stood guard tor u time.
The blowing of the safe caused a terrlflcc
explosion and scattered tbo money and
other contents of the safe all over tbe
floor. Tho robbers hastily gathered up all
the money they could, but lu their haste
they left $90 on the floor. As a result of
the explosion much of the Interior of the
office was wrecked and somo combustibles
took fire. Lockwood extinguished the flames
with some difficulty. Tho men escaped.

Miss Dora Bates.
Miss Henderson.
Shortly beforo 4 o'clock this afternoon
an alarm of flro was turned In from tho
Noyos, Norman & Co. shoe factory on tho
corner of Third and 1-araon streets. In
much less than half an hour what was so
short a time beforo a perfect hive of In
dustry, with hundreds of busy employes,
was nothing more than a shell, every floor
from the sixth down having fallen Into the
basement below, currying with tbcm every
thing but a few Iron beams and posts. How
many human beings, it any, were engulfed
In tbe seething sea of flames that raged in
the mass or ruins Is not known and may
never be.
Mimbcr of 1'ntnllllra I'nccrtaln.
It Is known, however, that three young
women are missing and there are those who
say that they saw ub many as six girls go
down Into the roaring pit of flame. The
managers of tbe factory admit that there
may be two fatalities, but they will not
assent to any higher estimate.
Five persons were Injured severely. Ap
parently their hurts are not likely to prove
fatal, but iu tbe case of two of these It
will not be known for some time how seri
ous their Injuries are. So far there Is
nothing worse, seemingly, than bruises and
burns on face and body, but great fears
Is expressed lest they moy have Inhaled
flames or that symptoms of severe Internal
Injuries may develop.
Luck of l'lre Kftcnpe.
Two lamentable features characterized
the fire. One was the failure to proviso
tho number nnd kln.il nf-flre escapes with
which a building of such a height and of
such construction should bn equipped, occu
pied as it Is by hundreds of women, who
are particularly helplesB In the case of
fire. The other feature, of which there was
general complaint, wns the alleged Inade
quate pressure afforded by tbo water com
pany. There were 200 men. women, boys nnd
girls employed in the Noyes-Norman boot
and shoe factory, which occupied the first,
Decond. third and fourth floors of the build
ing, and the overall factory on the fifth
and sixth floors, operated by the Richardson-Roberts
Dry Goods company.
Numerous stories are afloat as to tho
origin of the fire. One was to tbe effect
that it was the result of spontaneous com
bustion, an accumulation of dust and oil
about the belting breaking Into a fierce
flame without a momcnt'e warning. A'n
other story, und which seems to bo near
tho truth. Is to the effect that William
Fuller, an attache of tho Noyes-Norman
factory, was on tho third floor engaged in
his usual Saturday afternoon task of clean
ing up the machinery with benzine, when
it caught fire from gas jets,
lliirniuu 1. dim Before Alnrra? -
Still another story is that the flic had
been burning fifteen minutes before an
alarm was turned In, tbe employes hoping
to extinguish It. When It was found Im
possible to do that, It is alleged. It was
found necessary to run ncross tho Btrect
In order to reach a telephone, tbe factor
not being provided with one.
Tbe employes of the Richardson-Robert's
company were particularly Indignant at
what they characterized as the neglect of
those in charge of the Noyes-Norman fac
tor' to notify them of the existence of tho
fire. Miss Lottie l.utett, an old cinployo
of the Richardson-Roberts company, Fald
that she was the second one on tbo fourth
floor to discover the Are and that the first
sho noticed of It was smoke curling up
from the floor below.
I'rjiutic. Women Crnml Wiudovr,
The first alarm given to tho outsiders, so
for as known, was by Arthur Bcckner. It
was communicated to the flro department
as t-peodlly as possible and in a short time
the department wes on the scene, but not
before tho flames wero bursting forth from
every window, while frantic women
crowded tbe windows. Two of these threw
themselves from the windows and wero
caught In the nets below. Others were
taken down by the firemen, while by far
tbe greater portion managed lo scramblo
down the Are escapes, some going down
its front side, while othet6 went down round
by round on the other or back side.
Hiikh llnck Into the Finnic.
Miss Terry, one of those who threw her
self from tho window and was taken to tha
Ensworth hospital, declared that Dora
llatoi was Immediately behind her as sho
made a loup. but turned back and ran
toward the other end of tho room. Mrs.
Berry told a similar Mory of Louise Blon
deau. As neither of these young women
has been seen since by any of their friend
and as they have not reported at tbelr
homes or at tbo factory tho hope that was
enteitnlned for many hours by their em
ployers that they wero i-afe was finally
abandoned.
Joseph Roberts of tljr. Richardson-Roberts
company snld to a reporter for Tho Bee late
tonight that whllo he very much feared
that Miss Bates and Miss Blondeau were
dead be was confident that no others bad
shared their probable awful fate.
For the first time In years the city's
steam fire engines were pressed Into serv
ice to reinforce the hose and ladder com
panies, every one of which was on tho sceno
with its full complement of men.
I.nt Girl Don n Fire ycnpe.
Miss Rosa Lutes was the last girl down
the fire escapo and she says that when
bbe parsed the window to the Iron plutfqrm
there were five or six girls behind her,
groping In tbe smoke and gasping for
bieatb. She de lares that these girls must
have perished unless the leaped from the
windows. As the: djl not do this, It would
