BOWERY MISSION FIRE
NOT SO FATAL AS WAS FIRST
REPORTED
ELEVEN BODIES RECOVERED
All So Badly Burned as to Be Unrec
ognizable—Many Men Were
Painfully Injured
Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, March 13.—A thorough
search of the premises at 105 Bowery,
which was partially destroyed by fire at an
early hour this morning, disclosed the fact
that eleven persons were burned to death.
At first It was rumored that tho loss of
life was much greater, but after searching
the ruins very carefully, tho police and
firemen discovered eleven charred bodies
and removed them to the morgue. No.
105 Bowery ls one of the best known lodging
houses on that thoroughfare. It is called
the Bowery Mission Lodging house, and is
conducted by the Christian Herald, In
the basement of the building there Is a
cheap restaurant, while the ground floor ls
used exclusively for mission purposes, gos
pel services having been held thero dally
for several years. The four upper floors
were fitted up as a cheap lodging house,
with accommodations for 150 men, who
paid 10,15 or 25 cents each, according to the
location of the rooms.
Last night almost every bed was occu
pied. At 1:30 o'clock this morning one of
the lodgers dlscoverd flames coming from
a wash room on tho third lloor, but before
he hud time to alarm the house, the lire
was noticed by pussers-by on the street,
liy this time the flames hud eaten their
way to tho top of the building, and were
bursting through tho roof. The alarm was
given, the Inmates aroused, and wild
scenes of excitement ensued.
Many of tho lodgers became panic
Stricken. They rushed Into the hallways
and fell over each other In their efforts to
reach the streets. Those on the lower
floors got to the streets by the stairways,
while those on thu upper floors groped
their way through the blinding smoke to
the lire escapes In front of the building. A
majority of them only saved portions of
their clothing, while several of them were
naked. Those who made their way to the
street by the tire escape were superficially
burned by the excessive heat of the Iron
ladders, which in many places had become
red hot from the llames within. In the
meantime three alarms of lire had been
sent in, and in a few minutes the firemen
were busy deluging the building with tor
rents of water. They Anally succeeded in
keeping the fire within the limits of the
three upper stories of the structure. A
large detail of police was quickly summon
ed to the scene in charge of Inspector Cross
and the reserves were called from the
downtown precincts, This forco of of
ficers had difficult work to keep the vast
crowd lv check, as well as to help the un
fortunate lodgers. Many naked nnd In
jured were cared for by people in the vi
cinity and about fifty of them were ac
commodated at the Eldrldgc police station,
throe blocks away. Several of the most
destitute were brought to the station house
in patrol wagons, and on their nrrlvaal
they wen' partially clothed by members of
the lire department and kind-hearted
neighbors.
After the fire had been extinguished suf
ficiently that a search of the place was
possible, the firemen and police entered the
building nnd the work of searching for the
victims was begun. Several bodies were
found near tho windows of the two upper
Honrs, where they had been stricken down
while attempting to moke their way to the
tire escape. So many bodies were found
In the early stages of the search that It was
estimated that over forty persons must
have been killed. However, the officers
overestimated the loss of life, and eleven
bodies in all were found. Some of these
were discovered in the sniull rooms they
had occupied, while others were found In
the hallways nnd on the stairs of the fourth
and fifth floors. All of them were naked,
and most of them were burned and charred
beyond recognition. It Is thought by the
police that only one of these bodies will be
eventually identified. This one Is desig
nated ns No. 10. It was found In n room on
the fifth floor. In the same room there
was a satchel, and It Is thought Its con
tents mny lead to the ldentinecntlon of the
body. As soon ns the bodies wore carried
to the street they"were transferred to the
police station, and by half past four o'clock
this morning the police had relinquished
their search. Coroner SSUka, after looking
at the bodies at the station, gave a permit
for their removal to the hospital.
Manager Sarsdcnsen of the Christian
Herald, who has been in charge of the
mission and lodging house, called nt the
El Id ridge station Inter and told the officer
In charge that he would bury the dead.
The loss nn the building by lire Is about
$70iH), anrl the contents are damaged to the
extent of $50(10. I.oss entirely covered by
Insurance, The building;, which belonged
to the Chester estate, ls loused by the
Bowery mission.
John WybUrn, superintendent of the
Bowery mission, under whoae direction the
lodging house was conducted, said today:
"W hen 1 arrived at the scene of tho fire
the firemen had It under control, and the
police were removing the dead bodlcH. I
started nt once to ascertain the cause, and
explore the place where the fire started. I
found to my satisfaction it originated in
the lavatory on the third floor, and prob
ably whs caused by a lighted cigarette
thrown carelessly among a lot ot papers."
The only body positively Identified ls that
of John Koran, of Staplcton, Staten Island,
a machinist, 28 years of age, which was
claimed by his two brothers. Another
body Is thought to bo that of William Mc
"Dermott of Brooklyn, a painter, 28 years
old. The register of the lodging house does
not aid In the Investigation, for Bowery
lodgers, as often as not, register under as
sumed names. Again, such lodgers are
often friendless, and leave none to miss
them and search for them.
DEAD AND INJURED
The dead are smpposed to be-

City Fathers in Oakland
The antics of a drunken councilman last
night precipitated another disgraceful
scene in the city hall, and It was followed
by a concourse of people upon the streets
who acted In such a way that they could
not be designated by any other term than
mob. The affair was scandalous and a dis
grace to the city.—Oakland Enquirer.

ot the Joint Resolution.
Railroad Rivalry
Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.—8y the
steamer China, which arrived today, the
Hawaiian correspondent of the Associated
Press sends the following:
HONOLULU. March G.—President Dole
returned to Honolulu on the morning of the
4th. After a cabinet meeting heid imme
diately upon his arrival he was Interviewed
by an Associated Press reporter. He spoke
very frankly on matters pertaining to his
mission to Washington. "Yes, I shall be
very glad Indeed to tell the people any
thing I may know relative to annexation,"
said the president. "The Maine disaster
absorbed the attention of the statesmen
In Washington previous to my departure
for Hawaii. When that has quieted down
I believe Hawaiian annexation will be par
amount In congress. When I was In
Washington I met many friends of Hawaii
They feel confident that annexation will
come. While there was a doubt whether
the treaty would secure the required bixij
votes In the senate, still It was the con
sensus of opinion that a joint resolution
would carry in both houses. 1 place much
reliance in what was told me by senators
and congressmen who are fighting for
Hawaii, for I know them to be working
faithfully and earnestly."
"What ls Speaker Reed's attitude?" tho
president was asked.
"When I was in the American capital 1
learned that he has always opposed an
nexation, although he has made no dem
onstration against the treaty.
"My Impression of President McKinley?
Well, 1 w ill reply that It is extremely fav
orable. 1 found him to be an unassuming,
frank and sterling man. He seems to have
his heart and soul In the annexation treaty.
"Our reception was extromely cordial
and hospitable. All along the line to and
from Washington throngs of people came
to see me. We shook hands and In many
Instances I was obliged to speak briefly
from the car platform, it was from thesv
people that I gathered the Impression that
Uncle Sam's adoption of Hawaii was the
popular sentiment throughout the laud.''
Other advices received by steamer China
were as follows:
The native sons, the Island of Maul, are
In a state cf considerable excitement
caused by the rivalry between the Kahului
Railroad company and the new railway
line constructed in the Interests of the
Spreckeisvllle plantation. The employes
of the Interior, It is alleged, tore up the
track of the Kahulul company to cross its
line. The work was performed on the night
of the Ist Inst, by about 300 men, who,
It is said, were working under the direc
tion of the plantation management. It
is believed the government will act in the
matter, as the rails of the newly laid track
cross the government roads, permission
not having been obtained for the work.
It ls understood that the object cf the
new line ls to obtain a seaport terminus
where the output of the Spreckelsville
plantation can be landed to connect with
the new steamer line running In its inter
est. Hitherto the sugar has been shipped
over the Kahulul line in order to reach the
seaport. The plantation railroad will now
run clear to the sea, where a steel wharf,
built in Scotland, which ls now en route
here, will be placed in positlen In the har
bor of Kahulul.
Capt. James A. King, minister of the in
terior, left on the Mariposa for a trip to
the Australian colcnie3 to benefit his
health.
Some fears were entertained for the
safety of the barkentine Amelia, but she
arrived on March 4th, twenty-eight days
from Seattle, after an unusually rough
trip.
The U. S. S. Bennington has gone in
search of the dangerous derelict reported
afloat by Captain Calhoun of the Archer.
NATIVE SENTIMENT
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.—Benjamin
Cluff, Jr., proprietor of the Brlgham
Young academy at Provo, Utah, returned
today from a several weeks' visit to the
Hawaiian Islands, where he went at the
solicitation of United States Senator
rank G. Cannon to determine the status
of annexation sentiment among the Ha
waiian Islands. He speaks the Nanaka
language fluently, and has made a thor
ough canvass among the natives of the
islands of Oahu. Mnui and Hllo. He said
tonight: "As a result of my Investigation
I would say ttmt probably onc-hnlf of Un
intelligent natives of the Islands are pro
nounced advocates of annexation. Of the
remaining half, I would say that the great
majority arc, primarily, In favor of the
restoration of the monarchy, and second
ly, they would much prefer annexation to
the United States to a continuation of the
prcßtn government."
DR. HOLMES AS EXAMINER
Autocrat's Way of Putting Questions
to One Candidate for a Degree
College men of today may envy the ease
with which their predecessors of 30 years
or more got through the curriculum. The
older alumni are prone to wag their heads
in deprecation of the present methods of
education, and to declare, with no little em
phasis, that the college graduate of today
has a much ensler time completing his
course and can do it much more easlTy
than was possible "when I was in college.*'
The reverse of this proposition ls sug
gested by Prof. William James of Har
vard, who tells this story of the days when
he was In college, and telis it with the
comment:
"And I am not exactly tottering on the
verge of the grave with old age, either;
so It was not so very many years ago."
Prof. James was at Harvard late In the
'80s. During his medical course, he says,
he took Just one examination, and the
method of It, as he tells it, suggests that
Harvard might have scattered broadcast
over the land an assortment of physicians
perilous to life and limb.
"The examination was oral and lasted
Just an hour and a half," says he. "These
90 minutes were equally divided among
nine subjects, 10 minutes to each. Each of
us, as he came in, took a scat at a desk,
to conduct the examination in that partic
ular subject.
"Out In the hall stood the Janitor, beside
the big gong, and at the expiration of the
ten minutes he pounded the gong. This was
the signal for all the students to get up
and change desks, much after the manner
of progressive euchre parties.
"My recollection of what I was asked
and what I answered ls vague, except in
one particular. When I came to the desk
over which the genial Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes presided, to be examined in anat
omy, he asked me some question about the
nerves at the base of the brain. It so hap
pened that I was well up on that subject,
and I gave him a pretty exhaustive reply.
" 'Oh, well. If you know that, you know
everything,' said Dr. Holmes, cheerfully.
'Let's talk about something else. How are
all your people at home?' "—New York
Sun.

Associated Press Special Wire

the following Oriental advices:
The Korean finances will hereafter be
managed by Russlun bankers residing at
the capital, Seoul. All the monetary
transactions of the kingdom will hence
forth be conducted by the Russo-Korean
bank, which was opened at Seoul on Feb

The building of a first-class Japanese
cruiser is about to begin at Yosuka for the

standing squadron held naval maneuvers

highly satisfactory to the Japanese gov
ernment.
The Japan Maii depreeetes the Idea of
any disturbance of Oriental peace rela
tions through the possible failure of China
to pay the installment of the indemnity
due in May and amounting to 17,500,000
taels. No difficulty is anticipated in
raising this amount by means of the Chin
ese "sincority bonds," which are virtually
compulsory to the nobility and to civil and
mllitury officials, nil being expected to
subscribe for these bonds in proportion to
their rank and Income. These bonds are
to be guaranteed by the land taxes and salt
duties.

The city tax in Tokio has been increased
to provide funds for the repair of the roads,
which are generally in a wretched condi

mands from Hong Kong and Shanghai for
coal for naval requirements, the price of
Japanese coal has risen enormously In
price.
Since the adoption of gold monometalism
in Japan on October 1, 1897, up to and in
cluding February 17, 1898, the amount of
sliver and notes exchanged for gold has
aggregated 22,000,000 yen, of which one
seventh was silver. In order to facilitate
the adjustment of coinage, the govern
ment has resolved to shorten tho period for
exchanging the yen piece, which will be
limited to June 30 next.
Owing to a rupture of the combination
between the United Steamship companies
running from Japan to European ports, a
rate war has been started and freights
have already been reduced from 32 shillings

trary to their wishes, 500 Japanese female

paring to run sleepers on its lines.
Marco Understood
A young girl was crossing the public gar
den the other morning upon the main path
which crossed the bridge. She was ac
companied by a magnificent mastiff, who
strode along beside her in the most com
panionable sort of a way, looking up In
her face occasionally as If to remark
casually that It was a very fine morning,
or to ask If thero was anything he could
do for her.
The two crossed the bridge together, and
finally came to the Charles street gate.
Here the young girl, evidently not wishing
to have the care of the dog in the busy
streets, turned to him and said:
"There, that ls far enough now, Marco.
You need not go with me any further, but
turn about and go back home."
She did not take her hands out of her
muff to point the way, and she spoke as
she woulel to a small brother, In a pleasant
conversational voice.
Marco looked at her with his large eyes,
then looked across the common, wagging
his tall slowly, as though he were thinking
how very pleasant It would be to go the
rest of the way. Finally he turned back
to her again, and with a movement of his
eyes and head, asked as plainly as though
the words had come from his mouth:
"Please let me go a little further, It is such
a fine morning."
"No, dear, I'm going shopping, you
know," answered the girl, explaining the
difference, as If Marco were human;
"there'll be crowds of people, and I shall
not know what to do with you. But go
along, now, there's a good fellow, and I'll
be back soon."
Without another word Marco turned and
walked back across the gardens. He did
not slink away, as some dogs do when sent
back, but marched leisurely along with his
head In the air, stopped a moment on the
bridge to watch the children skating below,
then trotted on toward Commonwealth
avenue.—Boston Evening Record.
