PARIS, May 4.—Fire broke out at 4
p. m. in the crowded charitable bazaar
ln Rue Jean Goujon, at which Duchess
d'Uzes and other well-known patron
esses were present. Many people were
burned to death. There was a terrible
panic, during which a number of people
were Injured. Thirty bodies have been
recovered. Thlrty-Ave Injured people are
being cared for by the physicians, and
many others are reported as missing.
The building In which the Are broke out
was a temporary structure of wood. The
Aames were Aret discovered above a
stall occupied by the Duchess d'Uzes,
while the place was densely crowded.
The bazaar Is an annual function, pre
sided over by the leaders of Parisian so-
ciety. There was a wild rush for exits,
and the weaker persons were borne
down and trampled upon. The Inflam
mable nature of the building and its
contents caused the flames to spread
with a great rapidity, and ln a short
time the bazaar was a mass of flames.
The bodies of thirty victims of the con
flagration, mostly women, were recov
ered and laid out on the sidewalk, where
the corpses formed a ghastly spectacle.
Many people, still missing, It is feared,
are buried ln the ruins.
AN AWFUL PANIC
PARIS, May 4.—Further reports* from
the disaster at the great charity fair ln
this city show that the number of In
jured Is greater than at first estimated.
Over 100 persons have been conveyed to
the Hotel dv Palais ln Cour de la Relne,
but many critical cases have been trans
ported to the hospital at Beaugon. A
policeman on duty at the doors of the
bazaar says that from 1600 to 1800 people
were in the building when the Are broke
out. The alarm caused a rush for the
doors, which were soon choked with
people, thus preventing the escape of
many who might otherwise have been
saved. The strong trampled upon the
weak, the young crushed the old to the
floor. Heart-rending cries arose, soon
followed by shrieks of agony as the
flames swept upon the crowd struggling
for exit.
A CHARITY FAIR
The managers of the bazaar had ar
ranged the stalls so as to represent a
street of old Paris and. it was opened
yesterday. The proceeds of the sales at
each stall' were devoted to a separate
charity. Stalls were provided over by
Mme. Fevrler, the wife of Gen. Fevrler,
the Marquise de L'Algle, Mme. Macobs,
Baronne de la Lucette, the Marquise de
St. Michael, the Duchess d'Uzes, Mme.
Mignotte, the Baronne St. Eldler, the
Comtesse de Zalyanska, the Marquise
de le Goustler, the Marquise di Argence,
the Marquise di Pittl, the Duchess d'
Alencon, a member of the Orleans fam
ily, Mme. d'Arlu, Mme. Boisseaux, the
Baronne de Scickler, Mme. Moreau, the
Marquise Costa de Beauregard, her
royal highness the Duches3de Vendome,
the Marquis de Malson and the Comtesse
de Grefful, nee la Rochefoucauld.
Mme. de Flores presided over the re
freshment stands.
These ladles were aseslsted by many
equally well-known society ladies.
It is impossible as yet to identify the
victims.
At 6.30 p. m., when these details*are
telegraphed, the bazaar Is a heap of
smoking cinders and ashes. Ambulances
are conveying the bodies to the Palace
de l'lndustrle. The bazaar was 300 feet
long by 180 feet wide and constructed
almost entirely of wood.
EMINENT VICTIMS
Enormous crowds of people were gath
ered around the scene of the fire at
7.30 p. m. Among them are a large num
ber of liveried servants Inquiring for
their mistresses and the indications are
that among the dead are a number of
the French aristocracy. Twenty corp
ses and a number of the most seriously
injured are now in the Palace de l'ln
dustrle.
Admiral Beenard, the minister of mar
ine, arrived on the scene shortly after 7
o'clock.
Further details Just obtained show
that before the firemen could arrrlve
the roof of the bazaar crushed In bury
ing numbers of those who had been un
able to make their egress from the build
ing.
Very soon after the alarm was given
assistance hurried to the burning ba
zaar and effective help was rapidly or
ganized by the firemen and policemen.
Although a general alarm was sent out
with reasonable promptness, the whole
wooden structure was blazing before
the firemen could approach. The roof
and almost the whole building collapsed,
falling* upon the unfortunate people.
Many of them are supposed to have
LOS ANGELES, WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY 5, 1897
previously succumbed to the stifling
smoke.
In spite of the efforts of the firemen,
some time elapsed before the charred
bodies could be pulled from the smoke
and the burning mass of debris cover
ing the spot which had been but a
short time before the scene of so much
gaiety.
The prefect, M. Leplne, was one of
the first officials to reach the scene,
and he directed the operations for the
recovery of the_ bodies and distributed
the Injured among the various houses
In the vicinity.
In the meanwhile the pumps played
on the burning ruins'.
As the work progressed and the In
quiries became more numerous and
pressing, it was that the death
rate would be much higher than at
first estimated.
Among the Injured are Duchess de la
Torre, Princess Kotchinbay, the Vls
countesse de Avrel and Mesdames Mo
reau. Dv Broult, Malezleux, Eugenio,
Challemel, Recamler and St. Didier.
The missing, who are supposed to be
dead, Include Gen. Meunler, the Mar
chioness de Garllfet, the Duchess
d'Alencon the Countesses De Mun and
St. Plerler. the Marchioness De Flores,
the Viscountess Hanoi Hulsteln, Bar
oness Mackan, wife of the leader of the
pro-ratlst» In the chamber of deputies,
and Madame Morlaunelamon, her son
and two daughters.
One hundred corpses have been laid
out in the Talais de l'lndustrle. It Is
believed that another hundred are be
neath the ruins.
The building was" erected ln the flim
siest manner, the nudity of the scaf
folding on, the Inside being concealed
by tapestry of the most inflammable
material. Moreover, there was only
cne exit. The bazaar was in full swing,
when suddenly about 4 oclock, the cry
of fire rose from the quarter where the
kinetomotograph was being exhibited.
A SURVIVOR'S STORY
One of the survivors tells to the corre
spondent of the Associated Press his ex
perience thus: "The place was crammed
full of people and the heat was stifling.
Being very uncomfortable, my friends
and I determined to leave, but somehow
we could not make much heajdway
through the throng toward the door. I
stayed a little behind, as I was offered
a nosegay by a stall holder, when of a
sudden the shout of Are' was raised.
Instantly all was commotion.
"We tried to keep cool, but the rush
from behind forced ue forward, and we
were separated. Then I tried to work
my way back, but I was. carried off my
feet and carried backward and forward
In the swaying crowd. I lost my hat,
then my coat was torn off and then my
waistcoat. All this happened in a few
seconds^
"Immediately the full extent of the
calamity dawned upon us all. The flames
spread with startling rapidity through
out the whole building, which rumbled
like a living furnace, but the uproar of
the conflagration could not drown the
groans and cries of the agonized crowd.
"Gradually I found myself pushed
back against the wall of the building,
and finally succeded ln scrambling
through an opening made by those who
were near me. Five seconds later I
| would have been a victim, for hardly had
I struggled through the hole when I
j heard a dreadful crash as the blazing
roof fell in. I cannot describe the stug
! gle which followed. No words can depict
the horror of the sceije. It seems, as I
look upon It, a hideous nightmare. The
whole thing was over ln twelve minutes,
and nothing remained but the charred
I and blackened ruins of the bazaar."
The dead were piled ln heaps, and
especially near the exit where the
charred remains were five feet deep.
In some cases only the trunks re
mained, with no vestige of clothing.
! The firemen arrived at 6 oclock and a
company of infantry followed to clear
the ruins and search for corpses. The
news spread like wildfire. All the cab
inet ministers now In Paris went Imme
diately to the scene.
i Hundreds of equipages streamed
along the Champs Elysee, their occu
pants all anxious and with tear stained
faces, Inquiring for their relatives.
.There were many heart rending scenes
of grief. One lady rushed about frantl-
I cally calling her daughter by name. Son.c
one told her the girl was safe, whereupon
jshe Jumped, danced, screamed, then
I rushed to the coachman to tell him to
drive home, and fell in a dead swoon.
Another lady went insane. A third
imagined in her frenzy that she recog
nized her daughter's dress and hysteri
cally called upon her husband to tell
the police to prevent the child from go
ing to the bazaar. Cabinet ministers,
ambassadors, noblemen and members of
the highest social and financial circles
were side by side with the lowliest and
the poorest, anxiously inquiring for their
missing relatives. About thirty were
saved by Pere Ambroise and Pere Bailll.
who helped them over the wall with a
ladder to the printing room of the news
paper La Croix. The staff ef the Hotel
de Palais lent valuable assistance and
saved 150 persons through a barred win
dow overlooking the bazaar where,
while the hotel employes were carrying
away the bodies they saw three persons
burned to death.
PICKING UP PIECES
Policemen, their hands covered with
gloves, have been deputized by the pre
fect of police to pick out the portions of
remains and to wrap them in pieces of
cloth to be transferred ln ambulances
to the Palais de l'lndustrle. The re
mains present a horrible spectacle of
limbs burned and twisted. On all sides
can be seen stretchers plied with muti
lated corpses, skulls split open and
brains exuding.
Just behind a heap of corpses lies the
body of a woman. The face is down
ward, the head burned, the brain ex
posed and from the empty socket of th<
right eye the brains are slowly ooslng.
The arms and legs are burned off.
A little further oft is the body of an
other woman, nude, the entrails protrud
ing and the hsad missing.
It is a ghastly sight.
The building was constructed about
six months ago. At the time it was re
marked that it would burn like match

wood. The interior was divided into
shops, a la old Paris, constructed of pret
tily painted canvas.
MISS BUSHBECK'S STORY
The correspondent of the Associated
Press had an Interview with Miss Elsie
Bushbeck of Philadelphia, who, with the
Misses Hawthorne and Bushbeck, was
one of the few who escaped, although not
unscathed. Miss Bushbeck said: "I was a
saleswoman at booth No. 15, near the
place where the fire originated. I arrived
at 4:10 with my friends. We stopped to
look around the bazaar and stopped at a
lottery wheel, where I won'a bunch of
asparagus. Just then, happening to
turn around, I saw and called my friends'
attention to a flicker in the corner of
the wall, about fifteen yards away.
Hardly had I done so when a gentleman
behind me cried: 'Fire, ladies, hasten
out,' and hustled me toward the door
rather roughly, but fortunately forme.
As this was my second experience un
der such circumstances, I advised my two
friends to raise their skirts ln the front
so they would not stumble over them.
"We were then just stepping on the
first of the three steps leading out of the
building.
"Turning my head to look back, I saw
the whole place in flames. At my left
I caught a glimpse of an old lady emerg
ing from an adjacent door and saw her
stumble on her skirts. The next Instant
quite twenty persons piled on top of
her. I crossed the street and turned
around to face the Are, but already th*
heat was so Intense that it scorched me.
and I was obliged to raise my hands to
protect my face. When the roof fell in
with a terrible crash certainly no more
than five minutes had elapsed from the
first warning. Such was the intensity
of the heat that I saw a fireman's jacket
Ignited and several of the horses were
bady singed. Out of the pile of persons
who fell near the door none were saved.
AH were burned ln a moment. Of the
four nuns at my booth two were saved
ar.d one of three blind girls who were
engaged there. The visitors were for the
most part ladles gorgeously dressed."
The Duchess D'Alencon, sister of the
Austrian empress, Is among the Injured,
the list of whom Includes the Duchess
D'Uzes, the Comtesse Savingy and Mile.
De la Boulaye.
EMPTY EQUIPAGES
In the streets adjacent to the bazaar
were long lines of sumptuous equipages.
Many of them retruned empty, their
owners being dead. The others were
seen moving oft with occupants injured
in head or limb, In many cases with
faces streaming with blood.
The search in the debris will continue
all night. It .appears that the fire or
iginated on the left side of the bazaar.
The Illuminating apparatus of the kl
netematograph exploded and set fire'to
the Turkish curtain* and hangings.
In a. few moments the flames spread
along the whole side of the bazaar.
The public threw themselves Instinct
ively to the right side ot the building,
which backed on the high wall of an
adjoining edifice. The bazaar altogeth
er had eight' doors, three In front and
one on the left side, and In the rear
four like French windows, which were
especially reserved for employes. The
crowd near the main entrances was
unable to escape, but those at the other
end, not knowing of the doors reserved
for the employees, found themselves
hemmed in.
As the Are spread the pressure on
the right side, where there were no
exits, kept steadily increasing. Here
a number of victims were crushed to
death. Happily the wall of the Hotel
Dv Palais, against which the bazaar
backed, furnished barred window. Im
mediately on the alarm being given the
servants hurriedly broke the bars and
were able to rescue a large number of
persons.
Suddenly above the roar of flames
were heard 1 the cries of terror and de
spairing appeals for help from the cul
de sac end, where the unfortunates
were belng<"burned alive. The firemen
threw hundreds of Duckets of water
on them from above, at the greatest
risk to themselves But their coura
geous efforts were all In vain. The Are
made furious headway. Cries of do.
spalr arose outside, In the avenue Mon
taigue, the Place Alma and the Rue
Francois, adjacent streets. On all these
thoroughfares there was a veritable
flight of people, mostly women without
skirts, their feet naked and their cloth
ing either burned or torn off. Every
available fiacre was taken by assault.
The whole of the highest society In
Paris is in a horrible pell mell, a prey
to the deepest despair; husbands seek
ing and calling for wives, and fathers
seeking and calling for daughters. One
young woman still Wearing on her
breast the badge of a stall attendant
was seen rushing about in her petti
coat, her dress being torn off to throw
over a lady who was in flames. Her
one anxiety was $•> find her parents and
tell them of her safety.
SCENES OF HORROR

ashes with a heap of charred corpses as
the most noticeable object. The ground
was a solid mass of debris, of clothes,

WASHINGTON, May 4.—Congress-
man Barlow called upon Secretay Alger
this morning. His card was given to
the secretary and after waiting for about
an hour Mr. Barlow informed the clerk
in attendance that he had waited lone;
enough, and if the secretary Intended
to see him at all today he wanted to be
at once shown in. The clerk, who had
previously presented Barlow's card, dis
appeared Into Alger's private office and
when he came out he was closely follow
ed by Alger.
Barlow informed Alger that his con
stituents wanted to know the attitude ot
the department regarding San Pedro
harbor. Alger immediately stated that
McKlnley is absolutely opposed to
spending a dollar of the appropriation
this year, on account of the scarcity of
money. Barlow Informed Alger that
that had nothing to do with it. He want
ed to know what steps were being taken
by the department in its executive ca
pacity. The secretary then stated that
the people out there do not know what
they want anyhow, and tha. they want
ed a harbor-of refuge and also a harbor
of commerce and that the appropriation
was not adequate to provide both. He
said he had been in the lumber business
and handled lumber out there and he
knew all about It.
Barlow told him that was "Alger's"
view about the matter, but what he
wanted to know was what steps had
been taken by the department looking
to the construction of the sea wall.
The secretary Anally Informed him
that the engineers were preparing spe
clAcatlons for bids ln order to ascertain
what could be done with the amount ap
propriated, which he considered inade
quate.
Barlow asked him when they would bo
prepared, and ln an Icy tone Alegr an
swered, "They will not be prepared to
day and probably not tomorrow. The
people of California are insulting me on
all hands," he said and added, "I know
my business, that Is all I have to say
about It."
The treatment of Barlow by the sec
retary was wholly uncalled for, and the)
friends of San Pedro here are very angry
at this new Insult to the Intelligence of
the people of Southern California.
THE FRUIT TARIFF
The new tariff bill was reported by th*
Republican members of the Anance comm
ittee today. The citrus fruit rate la
Axed at one cent per pound.
THE TARIFF BILL
Reported Without the Retroactive
Clause—Changed Schedules
WASHINGTON, May 4.—(By As
sociated Press.) The tariff bill
was reported to the senate today to
the surprise of senators and the public.
When the senate finance committee met
today the idea prevailed that the bill
would be held in committee for two days.
All the members of the committee were
pressnt. The Democrats examined the
bill for nearly an hour, making running
comments upon It. They announced
that they were against the bill as a,
whole. They soon understood that Sen
ator Jones of Nevada was going to vote
with the Republicans, and realized that
there was nc possibility of changing the
bill. They had no desire to make any
factious opposition, and when amotion
was made by the Republicans to report
the bill at once the vote was taken
promptly. All the Republicans, with
Senator Jones of Nevada, voted for ths
motion, and all the Democrats voted
against It, the vote standing 6to 5. The
Republican members of the committee
say there is no statement to be mads
now at' to tho effect of the bill, tho
amount of revenue to be raised by it,
or the reductions. When the bill Is
taken up in the senate Mr. Aldrich will
n;ake such a statement in the opening
speech. "It will raise revenue enough,"
was the comment of Senator Allison, as
sented to by Senator Aldrich. They es
timated, however, that the increased
revenue to be raised from beer would OS
$13,000,000 and from tea $10,000,000.
