:PLAMB TO IMPROVE CHINESE QUARTERS—OTHER NEWS OP INTEREST.
IBT Ti:i.r.i;UAi'H TO THE tuiiunk.l
Pan Francisco. July o.—Since the collapse of
tho. bubonic scare there has been much discus-sion of Improving; Chinatown by wideningstreets, i losing up alleys and constructing mod-ern buildings. Many of the alleys are as foulajid unsightly as the former section of FivePoints and Mulberry Bend of New-York. Itrequire* unceasing vigilance to keep these hovelsin sanitary condition, yet tbj rentals obtainedfrom them are so large that the owners will not
rebuild. The present quarter Is five blocks long
by two blocks wide, and this section occupies
one of the choicest parts of San Francisco, lo-
cated on hitrh ground, with a noble view of theharbor and sheltered from strong trade windsby the high hills at the summit of Clay, Wash-ington and Jackson sts. The presence of Chi-
nese spoils neighboring blocks as a residencedistrict, thus mining one of the fairest quar-ters of the city. Radical measures have beenproposed to condemn all buildings in the quar-/ter and widening; the street and moving theChinese bodily to new quarters, but this cannotbe done because of the Influence of the propertyowners, t'nder the new charter It is even lm-
\u25a0possible to abate the nuisance of ChinatownWithout the consent of those who have been In-
strumental in making it a nuisance. Strong
effort is now being made to arouse the property
holders in the Chinese quarter to take advantage
•of. widening the main streets and securing legiti-
'Znate business houses.

PRESIDENT GARY OF FEDERAL COMPANYISSUES A STATEMENT.
The fact that the recent conferences among thepresidents (it the leadirg steel and iron companies
had resulted in an agreement broadly covering thepoints of production and price was substantiallyconfirmed yesterday by President Gary of the Fed-eral Steel Company In a statement as follows:
The late conferences between the presidents ofthn leading ete*?l and iron companies were whollyinformaJ. 'Tko questions discusser] relate to the gen-eral condition of the iron Industry, Including sup-ply and demand and present and future prices.The purpose was elmpTy to get information con-cerning Ihe exact eiluatlon and to exchange viewsInre^xiru to individual business policies.
No concert of action h-'is been contemplated: but."without exception, the Intercourse has been franklino friendly. The feeling prevails that as to manyproducts prices have out reached the bottom; and
\u25a0although it i? generally believed the price of pigiron and Wllets is at present high in proportion tosome of the tininhed products, and should be, re-duced to some t-xtent as food as circumstances willI^rmit, no producer. n>< for as Iam informed, hasus yt-t publicly announced any reduction. Ithink
iprices will rapidly adjust themselves to the entire'patlKfaction of the producer and the consumer. Thedlsrfsltlon at manufacturer? to consult from timeto time with one another, as well as their largercustomers thus following the example of the presi-dents of all the lea/ling railroads, should result inLenefit to all concerned.
President Gary was asked about a etatenvntpublished In a irade Journal to the effect thattiixrjttwenty Mast furna/v-s, with a total producing<-apftcity of 700,000 tons, had closed in the month ofJuiifc. He answered that be knew of only twelveor thin furnaer-s which bad closed, adding thatho thought perhaps a score of others would notha tblo to operate in ordinary times.

THE SAINT GERVAIS SINGERS.
One. of the most picturesque of the monumentsreproduced from the mediaeval city in the portion
of the Exposition called Vteux Purls Is the church
Of Saint Jullen dcs Menetrlers, which was themeeting place of the musical guilds of France ata time when professional musicians throughoutEurope were still little better than vagabonds inthe eyes of the law. In this picturesque littlechapel the Chanteura de Saint Qervala give con-certs of sacred music every afternoon. The con-certs are a singularly serious sort of entertain-ment to offer to the careless visitors to Old Paris,
and the contrast between the solemn service withinand the motley rout without Is exceedingly strik-ing yet a goodly number of persons generallygather to bear the music, especially on Sundays,
and the programmes are lofty and dignified to•
decree. The A capolla masters of the sixteenthcentury dominate the lists, but Ituc'i has muchconsideration, and modern composers are notneglected. The mission of the Chantwurs de lintQervala Is like that of the Muslc-al Art Society InNew -York, and the first motet that 1 heard sungby them was one which la In the repertory of thatsociety. namely, Vlttorl.i's "O magnum mys-
tertum." Alas, for the expectations which Ihadcherished on entering the chapel! The score simen and women who sans were sorry represents
tlves. or else the reputation of the Oervuslans is
wholly fictitious. Not for a moment did tho choireven suggest the precision, the lovely tone Quality
or tho expressiveness of the Musical Art Society.The singing was no better than that of an or-dinary New-York chorus choir, and Ileft the
Ipaid that Ihad found evidence of the unmusicalcharacter of the French people also In the singing
of a crowd at 9t. Cloud. Icould not distinguish
what the song was about, but It was an aimless,
tuneless thing, and of the. hundreds who sang it
In obedience to the frantic waving" of their leader's
umbrella not one seemed to have the slightest
consideration for the key chosen by his neighbor.
Such cacophony wouM have driven the listenersmad In a German or Italian town.
COT.ONNE'S POPULAR CONCERTS.Put enough of this fault-finding—lt Is more agree-
able to look at the generous measure of musical
entertainment which has been provided for thevisitors to the gay capital. Twice every day, after-
noon and evening. Colonne gives a popular orches-tral concert. In which singers and Instrumentalvirtuosi participate. In the large theatre which Is
one of the features of Vteux Paris. Hl9 orchestranumbers one hundred performers and Is an ex-cellent band, notwithstanding that it seems to
nave been recruited to some extent from theprovinces. Three hundred concerts are promised
within the continuance of the Exposition, and theprogrammes are given an educational value by
milking them Illustrative of the various national
schools of music tn turn. Concerts are devoted to
a composer, a group of French or Germancomposers, or to representatives of various nation-
alities simultaneously, as the case may be. In ageneral way the plan Is almost as broad andcomprehensive -.< that which Mr. Thomas laid out
for the World's Fair at Chicago in 1533, but whichfailed miserably for want of popular support. M.
Colonne's enterprise has not yet won the measureof patronage which It deserves, the audlen-esseldom exceeding four hundred persons, but there
la a vast difference between his payrolls and those
of Mr. Thomas. An orchestral musician in theX'nlted Stutes expects to earn from £3 to $40 a\v.-,'k when steadily employed: M Colonne's men
and women (I observed three women among theviolins) arc satisfied with 10 francs a day for two
concerts thut is. Jl per concert. It would not be
Juat to compare the playtr.g of the band with that
of the best concert organizations In New-Y^rk.
Boston and Chicago at their carefully preparedconcerts, but considering the drudgery which they
have been performing dally for m^re than a monthpns*t, the work of the men Is remarkablf for Its
vigor and vitality. M. Colonne Is an energetic,
conscientious and authoritative leader, and re-freshliiKly free from affectations either of manneror of originality In reading. To Illustrate a point
made at the outset of this letter It may he addedthat two of the concerts last week were devotedto Sulnt-SaPns and Massenet, anii that the musicplayed was the overture to "U PrmcSBBS Jaune."tin prelude to "La D#tasja/* the ballet music from\u25a0•Henri VIII." two movements from the thirdpianoforte concerto and the "I>:in*e Mr.cabre" by
the former, and the overture to "Phedr.-noblest work. Ithink). "I-e dernier Sommell d»> laVlerge," tho ballet numbers from ''I.<.- CUT and"Ilerodlade." by the latter.
[FROM a STAFF CORRESPONDBXT OF TUB TBIBCXI.]Paris. June 23.
France. Ifear. is not a musical nation, despite
the brave show which It makes In history and
the energy with which music 13 cultivated and thegenerosity with which It is encouraged by the
Government. It Is a study of the official and th"popular manifestations which has led to this
mournful conclusion on my part. Ihave attendedperformances at both of th*> subvention*-)! operahouses, listened to concerts at the Grand Theatreat the Exposition and *t the TrocadeYo, had musicdinned Into my ears at Innumerable kiosks and
music halls, my drowsy senses roused morning
after morning by the aggressive strains of barrelorgans and heard a crowd of merrymakers lifttheir voices In son* at a f£te In St. Cloud. "Faust"Is the burden of the song at the Grand Opera, the
soldiers' chorus. Slebel's flower song and the waltz
from "Faust" are the essential elements In the
repertory of the bands and barrel organs, andwhen Iwant to hear what French orchestralmusic is like at the end of the nineteenth century
Iam asked to content myself with the overturesand ballet numbers of Saint-Saens and Massenet,
which were hackneyed In New- York more than adecade ago. "Faust" is admirable music— we allknow that—but for one who has faithfully "as-
slated" for sixteen years at opera performances
In what Mr. Henderson wittilycalls the "Faust-splelhaua" In New- York there com*"* a time when
he may be pardoned for thinking that It la pos-sible to have a little too much of Gounod's lovely
opera. It Is one of Mr. Gilbert's philosophicalgentlemen. Ibelieve, who compels his brothers in
arms to confess that while candy 19 an adorablethins;, with candy for breakfast, candy forluncheon, candy for dinner and candy for tea,
even candy might become tiresome. For candy
read "Faust," and an American's complaint against
one phase of French musical culture may find some
Justification at least. Besides, to make an end of
the arraignment of the Grand Opera, It Is not
inspiriting to listen to performances of the operas
which form the bulk of the Metropolitan repertory
that look and sound like performances by Mr.
Gran's minor forces "on the road." Ican think Of
no fitter characterization than this of the repre-
sentation of "Romeo et Juliette" which Iattended.
YOUNG MEN NOT HEARD FROM.
There was some Interesting talk some monthsago of concerts at which the younger Frenchcomposers were to be exploited: but when it came
to the opening of the official Exposition concerts
In the Trocadero the Inaugural ode was the com-position of Salnt-Saens It proved to be a bit ofcommonplace padded with a lot of declamatory
bombast hut of that more anon: the point 13
that for a foreign visitor anxious to learn what
France is doing for music and In music to-day
It would have been more interesting had a newerman than Saint-Saens been intrusted with thecommission. Neither Saint-Saens nor Massenethas composed anything eompa-able with their
earlier works within the last ten years— nothing,
indeed, that Is likely to be heard at the end ofthe first decade of the new century about to open;It might have been better therefore to have given
them a place of distinction In a series of historicalconcerts, which would do for music what theretrospective Centennial Exhibition (far and away
the most Instructive and beautiful feature of theExposition) Is doing for art. industry and agri-culture, and given an opportunity for some one of
the new school to win his spurs. Unhappily thereign of Gounod. Salnt-BaPns. Massenet and Bizet
Is as tyrannous In Paris to-day as It was fifteenyears ago. If there Is a genius among the young
men whose names Ihear, but never a note of
their music, France willprobably not discover the
fact until circumstances compel It to set up a new-national hero to check the popularity of the for-eigners, as was done In the case of Berlioz thirty
years ago.

Fall River. Mass., July 7 (Special).— Brokers re-port another week of quietness in the local printcloth market. The sales were not much In excess5f thirty thousand pieces, and nearly all were wideodds. The market for regulars was as feeble as ithas been for some time past. Many mill men arebeginning to question the judgment of the SellingCommittee In reducing the price of cloth twoweeks ago. It was contended at the time by thosewho were in favor of fighting the depression untilIts real cause was ascertained that the buyers"•\u25a0••"\u25a0 out of the market Just now, that they didnot want much cloth at any price, and that thosewho would purchase for 2% cents would continueto come in as readily If the quotation were main-tained at i;',, cents. The results attained since thecut would Indicate thai the optimists were right.The real reason for the reduction was to create ademand, and it has failed to do bo. The demand Isno stronger to-day than it was before the reduc-tion. A few odds are going in small lots, andthere is absolutely do iall for the regulars.
Having failed to Improve the condition by cut-ting rates, the manufacturers are going to try cur-tailment, something that several of the wise onesadvised before reduction. a paper was pent outthis week and a call nuade for the signatures ofthose who were willingto shut down for a monthbefore September 1. Within twenty-four hoursrepresentatives of one hundred thousand spindlesbad signed, and curtailment Is assured— ln fact iihas gun. New signers are coming every day andut noon to-day two mills shut down for two weeksNext week others will be in Hue. There are \u0084,,,,,.
mills engaged on contracts that are binding untilthe end of July, and those mills will shut down allthe month of August This action cuts off theaccumulation of one hundred thousand pieces ofcloth, and will make a difference where Ii willcount to advantage In the amount of cloth on handJt la generally believed that the curtailment willlead to a reaction that there willbe a good demand before the time agreed upon hits expired andthat bettor prices will be secured for the cloth.Tiiu uitu'ket remains ilrm but aulmi at 2%. oenta.

Judging by the number of trunks people bring

MANY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THEM—SAND TO QUENCH FLAMES.
The terrific fire which wag started by lightningamong the tanks of the Standard Oil Company atConstable Hook early Thursday morning, andwhich for several days filled the sky with blackstroke clouds by day and a reddish glow by night,was not the first to furnish such a display to New-Yorkers. Tori years ago oil fires were of frequentoccurrence, both in the oil fields and at the refin-eries. The losses, however were seldom large, forthe refineries were smaller am did not store anygreat quantities of oil. Th.re have been many\u25a0:-•\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0"" oil fires, and some in which the loss wasmore than $500,000. There have been oil fires, too.which have destroyed a great deal of valuable ad-joining property, and others In which the oil foundits way to nearby watercourses, doing great dam-age to wharves and vessels. Bui never before, ac-cording to oil men who have been In the businessBll.ce the start, has there been so large a tire asthe one which is still smoking at the Hook.
The falling off in the number of serious fires ofthis kind has been chiefly due to greater care Inhandling the product. Many lessons were learnedfrom fires, and have been applied to the best ad-vantage.
The Constable Hook plant, which has Just beendestroyed, was considered as well equipped to with-stand tire as any in the country. The fact that Itwas almost entirely wiped out. In spite of theefforts of hundreds of men, fire engines and tugs,only goes to show the impossibility of doing muchWith an oil fire after It gets fairly started. Theofficers Of the Standard Oil Company are firm Intheir belief that the fire was started by lightning.They no longer fear the explosion of gas in over-heated tanks or the carelessness of employ*
One of the most destructive tires the Standard OilCompany ever suffered occurred at Constable Hookalmost on tho site of the recently destroyed worksThis fire started on the nieht of February 10, ISS9,and burned for many hours. Ft was due to thecarelessness of a watchman, who dropped a lampon the tloor of a big warehouse. The tire was keptdown by pumping out many of the endangeredtanks. Many vessel..- at the wharves were rescuedwith difficulty. The loss amounted to more than
This fire was followed a month later by the de-struction of another of the company's plants atLoner Island City. An oil tank exploded, and theentire plant would have been lost had not many ofthe tanks been empty. A barge loaded with oiltook lire and spread Its blazing cargo over thewater. Several Bin vessels were burned.
On January 28, 1890. not her lire visited this plantand destroyed 1300.000 worth of property.
A fire of peculiar origin Wiped out another of thecompany's plants at Louisville, Ky.. in July ofthe me year, A tank car, which had just ar-rived from Cleveland. Ohio, had become heatedand exploded, is Its cargo was about to be trans-ferred to a refining vat. The fire spread over thegreater part of the works and did $150,000 damage
Borne & Scrymser*s large oil plant on StatenIsland Bound, a mile below Elizabeth, was de-stroyed by tire on January 26, 1893, caused by theexplosion of a barrel of oil on the pier. The losswas $2.V>,ortn. '
In June, 1898, the Standard Oil Company's worksat Newark. N. J., suffered a $50,000 tire, which fora time threatened to spread to the city. Therehave been several fires In the vicinity of this citysince, but the loss In every ease was small.
Few If any lives have been lost In oil worksfires. The sufferers In these fires have been thefiremen.
Cleveland and Pittsburg have suffered severefires, but none which did as mu~h damage as thisone at Bayonne. Cleveland's most serious oil Orewas in 1888, when tank No. 1 In the Standard OilCompany's yard exploded. Nearly $1,000,000 damagewas done.
An oil expert of the Standard company said yes-terday to a Tribune reporter:
"Tell your people thai th-y missed It If they didnot watch this Constable Hook tire. They maynever see another, for we are not going to havemany more. Compare the oil fire records of thenineties with those of the eighties, and you will.-\u25a0•\u25a0•\u25a0 what Imean. Fin •\u25a0 are becoming more in-frequent every year, and our methods of keepingthem In check are rapidly being perfected. Ofcourse, lightning is a hard thing to fight. One ofthe principal reasons for the falling off in oil tiresis the big combination. Th.> number of refineriesabout the country has been greatly reduced. Why,the Standard lias torn down several plants almostus big as the one it the Hook. Then we knowmore about fighting oil fires than we used to,Every one knows that water only makes mattersworse. Earth is what Is needed, and you'll soonhear of an invention which will throw sand insteadi f water. If this invention can be perfected ItWill still further reduce the chance of oil fires.
"In rebuilding the Bayonne plant several im-provements will be Introduced in the pipe system,and then, if lightning shmili again strike a tank,the fire will not be able to spread over the entireworks."
