Paris France,- May 4. Hundreds of lives wore lost and as many more per wjiis Injured In a lire which destroyed u charitable bazaar In the Hue Jean Cloelsim, this afternoon. Thirty bodies have been recovered and many are re ported missing. From 1500 to 1S0O peo lde were In the place at the time and a terrible panic ensued. The strong1 trampled upon the weal:, the young crushed the old to the Iloor, anil heart rending shrieks rose from all sides as tin- names swept through and Into the struggling masses. The bazaar was patronized by the aristocracy and the lire broke out over stall No. 13, occu pltd by the Duchess U'Uzes, one of the most prominent society women in France. The structure was 300 feet long: by ISO feet wide and almost entirely of Wood. Iltfore the firemen could arrive, the r-iof of the bazaar crushed In, burying numbers of those who had been un able to make their egress from the building. I The whole wood structure was blaz- ing before the llronun could approach the bazaar, the roof and almost the M'lmii building collapsed, falling on th unfortunate people, many of whom are supposed to have previously succumbed to the stllllns smoke. In spite of the efforts of the firemen, some time elapsed before the charred bodies could be pulled from til's smok ing and burning mass of debris cover ing the spot which but a short time before had been the scene of so much gaiety. One hundred corpses tyave been laid out in the Palls D'L'Industrie. It is be lieved that another hundred are be leath the ruins. The building was erected In the llimsiest manner, the nudity of the s avoiding Inside being concealed by tapestry hangings of the most inflam mable material. Moreover, there was only one exit. The bazaar was In full swing, when suddenly about 4 o'clock the cry of lire rose In the quarter where the klnematograph was being exhibit ed, one of tlie survivors tells his ex-peri- nee: ' The place was crammed full of peo M. and the heat was suffocating. Of a sudden, the shout of lire was raised. Instantly all was commotion. "The llamcs spread with startling ra pidity through the whole building, whu h rumbled like a living f urnacv. hut the uproar of the conllagratlon could not drown the groans and cries of the agonized crowd. Gradually I found mM'lf pushed back against the wall of the building, and llnally sue cieded in scrambling through an open ing niado by some of those who were near me. Hardly had I struggled through the hole before I heard a dreadful, crash as the blazing roof fell in. No words can depict the horror ot the scene. The whole thing was over in twelve minutes, and nothing re mained but the charred and blackened ruins of the bazaar." The dead wero piled In heans, es pecially near the exit where the charred remains wore four feet deeu, arms, legs and skulls mingled In in oxtrlcable confusion. In somo cases only the trunks remained, with no ves tige of clothing on any of the bodies. The firemen arrived at six, and a company of Infantry followed, to en ter the ruins and search for corpses. All the cabinet ministers now In I'nils went Immediately to the scene. Thero wero many heart rending scenes of Brief and despair. One lady rushed about frantically calling her daughter by name. Somo onfc told her the girl was safe, whereupon she Jumped, danced, screamed, then rushed to tho coachman to tell him to drive home. nnd fell In a dead swoon. Another lady went Insane. A third Imagined in her frenzy that she rec ognized her daughter's dress, and hys terically called upon hor husband to tell the pollro to prevent the child from going to the bazaar. Cabinet minis ters, ambassadors, noblemen and mem hers of the highest social and llnanclal circles wore side by side, with the low liest and the poorest, anxiously inquir ing for their missing relatives. About thirty wero saved by Here Ambrolso und Per? Ilullly, who helped them over the Alarm But Few Were Escape. tho wall with a ladder to tho printing, room of the newspaper La Croix. The staff of the Hotel Du Palais saved ISO persons through a barred window ovei looking the bazaar, where, while the hotel employes were carrying away the bars, they saw three persons burned to death beneath their eyes. Policemen, their hands covered with gloves, have been deputed by the pre fect of police, to pick out the portions of remains and to wrap them In pieces of cloth, to be transferred In ambu lances to the Palais DTIndustries. The remains present a horible spectacle of limbs burned and twisted. On all sides can be seen stretchers piled with mu tllatfd corpses, skulls, split open and brains exuding. .Miss Klslo UushbecU, ot Philadel phia; the Misses Hawthorn and Droll er, were of the few who escaped, al though not unscathed. OHIGIN OF THE FIRE. Tho search In the debris will continue all night. Tho lire originated on the left side of the bazaar. The Illumin ating apparatus of tho Klnemato graph exploded and set lire to the Turkish curtains and hangings. In a few moments tho (lames spread along the whole side of the bazaar. The pub lic threw themselves Instinctively to the right side of the building, which backed on a high wall of an adjoining edifice. The bazaar altogether had eight doors, three In front and one on the left side. In the rear were four, like French windows, which were spe cially reserved for the employes. The crowd near the main entrances was able to escape, but those at the other end, not knowing of the doors, re served for the employes, found them selves hemmed in, as In a cul d'sac, iAs the fire spread the pressure on tho right side, where there was no exits, kept steadily lncieaslng. Here a number of the victims wero crushed1 to death, Happily, the wall of the Ho tel Du Palais, against which the ba zaar backed, furnished a barred win dow. Immediately on the alarm be ing given the servants hurriedly broke the bars and were able to rescue a large number of persons. Suddenly above the rear of the (lames wero heard cries of terror and despair ing appeals for help from the Cul D3 Sac end. where the unfortunates were being burled alive. The llrcmen throw hundreds of buckets of water upon them from above at the greatest risk to themselves, hut their courageous ef forts were all In vain. Tho lire made furious headway. Howls of despair arose outside. In the avenue Mon taigne, the Place Alma, and tho Hue Francois, adjacent streets. In nil these thoroughfares thero was a veritable lllght of maddened people, mostly wo men without skirts, petticoats or hats, their feet naked and their clothing either burned off or torn off. Every available llacro was taken by nssault. The wholo of tho highest society In Fails Is In a horrible pell mell. Hus bands seeking and calling for wives and fathers seeking nnd calling for daughters. Words would fall to de scribe the horror of the scene at tho Palais D I'lndustrles, whore the bodies are exposed on the side next to the Avenue Hantou In a portion of tho building now In course of demolition. Here In a large room, covered with rough planks und on sheets spread over planks, tho bodies as they arrive from tho ambulances are being placed In three long rows. Hodles completely nude, limbs twisted on writhlngs of ngeny, somo still having shreds ot clothing which assist recognition: In spite of horrible disfigurement, bones visible through lire-eaten llesh, somo merely skeletons or grinning skulls blackened with smoke. At 8.30 p. m., only six bodies have been recognized with certainty. As Foon as Piesldent Faurn heard of tho disaster he sent the most pressing Inquiries for full particu lars to tho prefect of police. All thea ters in Paris are closed tonight', SEARCH FOn HODIES. Midnight. Owing to the difficulty of continuing the search for the purpose of Idontllicatlon by tho light of torches nnd candles, the Palais Do IIndus, tries has been cordoned by tho police, who are wntchlng the bodies. The wounded are now known to num- her at least 180. Madame Flores, wife of tho Spanish consul, expired nt the Hospital Henufon, where nro several others of tho Injured. President Fauro has visited tho hos pital and tho Palais Do L'lndustries to pay his respect to tho dead. Further Identifications believed to bo certain are as follows: The Comtesso Mlrlmel, tho Comtesso nrodcrvlllc, M. Victor Cossolin, Ulster Leonle Gulllaume, nnd Mosdumcs Hnussmnun and Schlumberger. Other names must still be accepted with reserve, but ut 11 o'clock tho Duchess Do Al,ucon had not yet re turned home. The duke was slightly Injured. An electric light has been Installed at the scene of tho fire to assist thc fire men In recovering the bodies from' the debris. It Is now noticed that In most enses the heads of the victims were burnt (l to a cinder, even when other parts of tho body were not much In jured. Tills Is explained by the fact that the thickly tarred root fell In bluz lng masses upon tho heads. It was re ported that Mile. Lucille Faure, who left tho Elysce to go to tho bazaar, had perished. M. Hanotaux drove in great haste to Inquire concerning her, and was Immediately followed by Mine. Faure, pale with terror and excitement, who was reassured by learning that her daughter was not dead, having been delayed on the way. Many Americans, English nnd other foreigners were among tho stall hold ers, but It Is Impossible as yet to as certain the numes of all tho vhcinis. Tho papal liuclo, who delivered the benediction at the opening, had just left the building when the Are broke out. Half an hour afterward tho struc ture had completely disappeared. Thero was no sign of the masonry, ulrders and other structural parts which tiro usually left after a. big fire. The whole edifice was reduced to ashes, with a heap of charred corpses as the most noticeable object. The ground was a sodden mass of debris, of clothes, boots, shoes, coins, keys and miscellaneous remains of ar ticles on sale at the stalls. While tho lire was In progress tho faces of tho people In the crowd nnd in the win dows overlooking tho scene told an aw ful talc of the horrors they were wit nessing. All the mansions In the vicin ity have been converted Into temporary hospitals. There was one awful procession of sixty corpses on stretchers formed with the handle of spades and pickaxes with green canvas. The prefect of police said .that fully 300 persons were miss ing. The firemen found a cash box con taining about 0,000 francs nnd a lot of money melted by the fierceness of tho heat. The day's takings were 1.S0O pounds. It Is Impossible yet to ascer tain with nny degree of certnlntv the number of victims, but It Is stated taht there are 11C corpses now in tho Pnlals Do IIndustries. WILY SCHEMES OF TURKS. They Harass Greeks Preparatory to an Attack on PharsalosAn Ar mistice Is Observed. Athens, May 4. It Is said here on good authority that the powers have mndo overtures to ureece on the sub ject of peace, but that the government decllives to linoke the mediation of Eu rope. The king has decided to remain hero for the present. It appears that the Turks asked an armistice In order to bury their dead. Tho request was referred to tho com mander In chief, from wliom no definite reply is forthcoming; hut the armistice is tacitly observed. The Greeks speak with emotion nt the "enemy's gallantry. The Turks had evidently planned to surprise the Greek military authori ties before -they could recover from the bewilderment of the retreat from La rlssa nnd to Intercept the railway at Velestlno, thus cutting off rharaalo! from the nearest base of supplies and pushing in a strong wedgo of troops In order to threaten Volo and Pharsa los. They could have been captured or annihilated If there had been sulllclent rolling stock to transport Greek rein forcements from Pharsalos, or' It Gen eral Smolenskl'a troops had not been too tired to attempt a llank movement. When General Smolenskl starts for Pharsalos to assume his duties as chief of staff, General Jnnnlkostn will prob ably succeed him in command of tho Second brigade. A personage connected with tho court, says that Emperor William, of Germany, In admitting the superiority of the Grcel: over the Turkish artillery, expressed surprise thnt Greece had never used German ollleers to organ ize her artillery which, he added. If well organized, would be excellent. Home, May 4. An Athens dispatch to "II Corrlere Delia Sera" of Milan says Hlccottl Garibaldi has had a long conference with King George, who "seemed more preoccupied with his po sition In the eyes of tho powers than with tho war." His majesty, It ap pears, was In excellent humor. The dispatch asserts that M. Halll, the Greek premier, after suggesting that Hlccottl Garibaldi should enroll Greeks among the Italian volunteers now requests him to suspend tho en rollment of Italians, lending to tho be lief that secret negotiations to end the war are proceeding. THE CAMPAIGN IN THESSALY. Turks Avoid Attacking Velestlno Agnili--Grecks' Stiong Position. Athens, May 4. A dispatch from PharKilos says tho Turks have avoided making any further attack upon Veles tlno, contenting themselves with re connoltering tho neighborhood of that place. The Greeks, it Is announced, occupy strong positions, which enablo them to repulse superior forces. Larissa, May I. (Delayed In trans mission.) The road from Salonlea henco is covered with troops on their way to reinforce Edhem Pasha's army of occupation, although tho Turkish forces nlrendy In Greece sufllce o as sure the success of the Turks. Perfect order prevails everywhore. Tho sol diers aro full of enthusiasm, and are anxious to take the offensive. Intoxi cated with their successes, they are clamoring for a resumption of active operations, Now that Trlkhala Is cap tured, moro impoitant action is ex pected shortly. The Italian volunteers who have been captured by tho Turks loudly denounce tho treatment they wero subjected to whllo with the Greeks. They refer in terms of contempt to tho cowardice of tho Greeks.

Admiral Meade was one of the best known ollleers of tho modern navy, saw hard service before, during and nfter the civil war, and cruised In all parts of the world on Important naval and diplomatic missions.

Washington, May 4. Tho tariff bill was reported to tho senate today to tho surprise of senators and the pub lic. When tho senate nuance commit tee met today the Idea prevailed that the bill would be held In committee for two days. All the members of tho committee wero present. The Demo crats examined the bill for nearly an hour, making running comments upon It. They nnnounced thnt they were against the bill as a whole. They soon understood that Senator Jones, of Nevada, was going to vote with the Republicans and realized thnt there was no poslbllslty of changing the bill. All tho Republicans with Senator Jones, of Nevada, voted for tho mo tion and all the Democrats voted against it, the vote standing six to live. Later In the day Mr. Aldrlch an nounced that ho would call up tho bill Tuesday, May 18. Republican mem bers of tho committee say there Is no statement to be made now as to th effect of the bill, the amount of reve nue to be raised by It or the reductions.

It Is es timated that the increased revenue to be raised from beer would be St3,OJ0, 000 nnd from tea $10,000,000. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the Demecrutlc tariff leader, said that ho expected there would be about six weeks debate on the bill. Several sections In tho last part of the Dlngley bill which re-enacted the present law are stricken out. This will httvo the effect of leaving the pres ent law stand nnd to avoid discussion to a great extent. The comments on the bill aro of course partisan. Some features are very much dis liked by even Republicans, but upon the whole the Republicans commend ami the Democrats condemn It. though members of the committee say that the sub-committee has In many par ticulars Improved upon the Dlngley bill. Tho new bill is radically different from the Dlngley bill, practically amounting almost to another meus ure. Many Important schedules were rewritten entirely. HILL IN EFFECT JULY 1. The time for the bill to take effect is July 1, 1897, Instead of (May 1, as provided In tho house and the words In the llrst paragraph "or withdrawn for consumption" are stricken out.

Dunning, Jr., Seems to Have tho First Place In the Hacc, hut nt Present He Is Not Satisfactory to tho Democratic Members of Select Council. There Is tho liveliest kind ot a flght in progress among tho Democrats over the office of street commissioner. Mayor Bailey says C. H. Kinsley's res ignation went Into effect April 30 and that he will name his successor at Thursdny nlghi's meeting of select council. Whether or not he will do so remains to be seen. Mr. Kinsley de nies that he has resigned as will bo seen by the following statement ho made to a Tribune reporter yesterday: "No, I have not resigned. Tho may or has not received my resignation and If he communlcntes to council that he has such he Is stating things as they are not." Mr. Kinsley went on to explain that he agreed with Mayor Halley to hand In his resignation to take effect April 30 If councils would pass an ordinance changing the time for the commence ment of thestreet commissioner's term, from June 1 to May 1. Council fnlled to do this and Mr. Kinsley refused to resign. Mr. Kinsley's idea In insisting on the change of tho running time of street commissioner's tenn was to pro tect himself. He wanted It to be un derstood that he resigned on Atrll 30 ns an accommodation to the city and not because he had to. Mr. Kinsley holds that ho Is still street commissioner und will be such until the llrst day nt June. Any man who will be chosen to 1111 a present vacancy will be chosen, ho contends, to 1111 something that does not exist. Notwithstanding this Mayor Halley says he will present Mr. Kinsley's written resignation to councils Thurs dny night. FAHEY TURNED DOWN.

It wns simply out ot the question the mayor said. Mr. Fahey reminded tho mayor thiit he had promised the appointment to him and the mayor positively denied that he had ever made such a prom ise. Mr. Fahey said the mayor had. promised, the mayor said he hud not and then both Mr. Fahey and His Honor said some tlilngH. A few moments later they parted. When Mr. Fancy's friends learned that he had been turned down their temperature became several degree warmer and when It was whispered about that A. 11. Dunning, Jr., was like ly to be named as Mr. Kinsley's suc cessor they said they would show tho mayor a trick or two. The most formidable candidates now In the field are Joseph Taylor nnd Mr. Dunning. It Is chnrged by tho ex sherlff's friends that Taylor has no standing In the light nnd that ho was Injected Into It for the purpose of kill ing off Mr. Fahey. The Taylorltea laugh at that story and say their man is a shining possibility. At present the Indications are that Mr. Dunning will Iks named nnd If he Is it Is moro than probable he will bo confirmed although' a strong effort will be made to prevent such action. A. G. Gllmore, formerly In the wholesale gro cery business, was spoken of yesterday as a person on whom the mayor was likely to confer tho ollico as one way out of the dilemma, Mr. Dunning when seen by a Trlhuno reporter yesterday said: "I expect to bo appointed street commissioner," and, ho said it In a way that left no doubt that he meant it. Further thnn that he declined to make nny statement concerning the situation. WILL CAUCUS TONIGHT. The Democrats of select council will hold a caucus tonight nnd request Mayor Halley to give them the namo of the man he intends to nominate for street commissioner. If ho informs them that It is A. H. Dunning, Jr., they will tell him to go to and It Is said will servo notice upon him that they will refuse to confirm hla appointment. " Yellow IVvor Delays Jlnili.
