A 8500,000 Hlaze In the Heart of ;that city. Memphis (Tenn.) special: Fire started Tuesday night about 7:15 o’clock tn the Wetter block on Main street, between Monroe and Union streets, and before the flames were checked, several lives were lost and nearly half a million dollars’ worth of property went up in smoke. The exact number of lives lost is not known, but a conservative estimate places it at four, while four or five were injured, some fatally, in jumping from the burning building. About 7:15 o'clock people in the vicinity were startled by the report of an explosion and a flash. In an instant the flames were pouring from the lower floor of the six story building occupied by the Schmaltzreid Hardware Company. The second, third, fourth, and fifth stories were occupied by the Young Men’s Christian Association, and it was in this place that the terrible loss of life occurred. The fire started from the explosion of a large coal oil lamp near the stairway, and within five seconds after the explosion occurred the front end of the building was a seething mass of roaring, cracking flames. The second floor was used as a lecture room of the Y. M. C. A., while the third story was used as a library, and it'was in this death trap that the holocaust occurred. The flames leaped up

the staircase so fast that all egress was cut off. There were about fifteen people in the library when the alarm was given. They made a rush for the Main street exit, only to be driven back by the flames. Like a herd of sheep in a pen they rushed in a bunch for the windows at the rear of the building, but the flames spread so rapidly that the facings of three of the windows were on fire before they could escape. They stood huddled together for a moment when the crowd below yelled: ‘‘Leap for your lives!” One man jumped and caught on a telegraph wire, but was rescued. Another made a leap for the same wire, but missed it and fell to the pavement below. Two other men made the same attempt, but they, too, missed 'the wire, and went on their comrades. At this juncture the firemen arrived with ladders which were quickly run up to the window. Three men were rescued, but before the others could be saved the flames burned the ladder and the remainder perished. The loss will fully reach t. 500,000. t A Bold Attempt at a Hold Up in Illinois. Mount Pulaski (Ills.) special: The Peoria, Decatur and Evansville express from Peoria to Mattoon, which was boarded at the coal shaft at Lincoln Tuesday night at 8:45 o'clock by three masked men, two on the front of the rear coach and one on the rear end, reached here a little late. Conductor Chris Richmond says he started through the combination car to take tickets, and as he opened the door of the car was confronted! by one of the robbers, who ordered him to throw up his hands. He closed the door and informed the brakeman they were attempting to rob the train. The brakeman, W. F. Trott, took a club and opened the car door, when he was shot in the abdomen by some of the robbers. The conductor says he then cut the bell rope and he and the express messenger extinguished the light in the express car and barred the door. The train ran through to« Mount Pulaski, where the robbers got off as the train stopped. The ex nress messenger, peering from the dark car through the door took two shots at them, hut without effect. Crank Arrested* What is believed to be the man who sb murderously assaulted Myron T. Herrick, Secretary and Treasurer of the Society for Savings, at Cleveland, has been captured.

About 10 o’clock the other night, eight desperadoes role, into the little town of North Middletown, ten miles east of Paris. Ky., and it is supposed they intended robbing tl,ie Deposit Bank. They fired at every one seen on the street, and mo.rtally wounded an old colored man named Burt Morris. The citizens began tiring, and ran them out of town. An hour later they returned, and the citizens being on the watch, fired on the desperadoes and ran them away. About a naif mile from the village they stopped in front of a cabin in the load, and were heard to say three of

t tbem wore shot. They were followed next morning some distance, by blood in the road, but finally were lost trace of. They wont in the direction of Mt. Sterling. All wore stranger-, and not masked. More than a hundred shots i. were fired, and it is miraculous that ; the citizens escaped unhurt, with the exception of the old darky. PRIESTS BANISHED. Twenty-fire Catholic Clergymen Exiled In Russia. Berlin special: Advices have been received hero from St. Petersburg!! that twenty-five Catholic priests wore recently exiled from the Vistula district, in which they have been charged with the care of souls, on the charge that they had opposed the authorities. They were to be sent to Grondo and Kioff. The other day, under guard, the priests started for their destinations. A large number of peasants gathered, and, seeing that the priests were being forced to leave, made an attempt to ress cue them from the gendarmewhich had them in charge. A desperate fight followed. The peasants would most likely have succeeded in their object hail not'the gendarmes been reinforced by a number of Cossacks. Even then the peasants continued to fight for the release of the priests. Finally the Cossacks fired into the crowd, killing and wounding many persons. The affair has caused great excitement among the peasants, wtio at no time are lovers of tho Cossacks. Skirther trouble is feared. The priests knowing full well that there could be. only one outcome to such a dispute, tried their best to calm the excited feelings of the peasants and thus avoid bloodshed. The peasants, however, Would hot listen, but insisted upon freeing them in spite of their expressed wishes to the contrary. After the volley was tired into tho crowd the peasants dispersed and the gendarmes started away with their prisoners. EIGHTY SOLDIERS Are 11 unting Six Men, Who Are lost in the \ Mountains.

The hunters had several pack lorses, am. were accompanied by’

Jacksonville (Fla.) special: Another j question has now floored the Corbett- 1 Mitchell contest business, and that is the sudden change of base of the city fathers, or rather of the Mayor, who says now that the contest cannot take place in the city limits. The City Attorney gives it as his opinion that the Mayor has the power to prevent the light from taking place within the city limits. All sporting men seen', say that while this means that the match must be outside of the city, yet that fact has no discouragement for them, as such a site can be easily selected accessible and capable of accommodating all that may come.

I BACK TO HER THRONE .i »'. e \ 8 QUEEN ULIUOKALANI TO BE RESTORED. ’’ An Examination of the <M« Hat Ctmvtaeod r Secretary Qyeahnni that a Wrong Was I. Committed the Queen of tho Sandwich 1 Islands. • 1 ' y Bays 'Tw»» a Foneplraey. .1 Queen Lilluokalani will 'bo restored i- to hor throne in IRiwaii, if she has not .1 been restored ero this. Friday afteri- noon President Cleveland’s Cabiuont < held an unusually long session, and as a a result of the discussion it was decided r to give to the press tho recommenda- ’. tion made by Secretary Gresham in the Hawaiian mutter to the President. Minister Willis arrived in Honolulu on - Monday last, it is supposed, and as he a had in his pcckot instructions in conr formlty with tho recommendations of » Secretary Gro-liam, which have been r approved by the President, it is probr able, says a Washington correspondent, a that by this time tho provisional t government has been dojiosed and the r Queen has reasserted authority over - the islands. 1 At first other members of the Cabinet 3 opposed this method of settlement. - They declared the restoration of the i Queen would bo unpopular, and that it ) would be an unfortunate thing for tho administration if it adopted this policy. But gradually the Secretary’s presentations of tho question won over ’ not only the other members of the > BECRETAIIY GRESHAM. Cabinet but the President himself. The Secretary's letter is based upon what he describes as “the full and imgirtial report” submitted by J. H. lount, Cleveland's special commissioner to the Hawaiian Islands. Secretary Gresham declares that .the following facts are established: Qneen Lilluokalani announced her intention Saturday, Jan. 14. 1893, to proclaim a new constitution, but the opposition of her ministers induced her to change her purpose. At a meeting in Honolulu late the afternoon of that day a so-called committee of public safety, consisting of thirteen men, a majority ot whom, Including flve Americans, were aliens; was appointed "To consider the situation and devise ways and means for the maintenance of the publlo peace and the protection of life and property," This committee met the 16th or the forenoon • f the 16th and resolved among , other things that a provisional government be created, “To exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon.” The committee addressed a letter to John L. Stevens, the American Minister at Honolulu, stating that the lives and property ot the people were in peril, and appealing to him and the United States forces at his command for assistance. On receipt of this letter Mr. Stevens requested Capt. Wiltx, commander of the United States steamship Boston, to land a force. The well-armed troops were promptly landed and marched through the quiet streets of Honolulu with two Gatling guns to a public hall, just across the street from the Government building and in plain view ot the Queen's palace. The Protest Was Prompt and Vigorous. The governor protested against the act as an unwarranted Invasion of Hawaiian soil and reminding him that the proper authorities had never denied permission to the naval forces of the United States to land for drill or any other proper purpose. About the same time the queen’s minister of foreign affairs sent a note to Mr. Stevens asking why the troops had been landed, and informing him that the proper au* thorltfes were able and willing to afford fpll protection to the American Legation and all American interests in Honolulu. Only evasive replies were sent to these communications. Then the committee entered the government building utter first ascertaining that it was unguarded, and one of their number, a citizen of the United States, read a proclamation declaring that the existing government was overthrown and a provisional government established in its place "to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon.” No audience was present when the rroclamation was read, but during the reading forty or fifty men, some of them indifferently armed, entered the room. The executive and advisory councils, mentioned in the proclamation, at once addressed a communication to Mr. Stevens. informing him that the monarchy bad been abrogated and a provisional government established. On receipt ot th ; s letter Mr. Stevens immediately recognized the new government, and in a note ad Ircssed to Sanford B, Dole, its president, informing him th tha had done so. The Qneen was informed that the provisional government had the support of the American minister, and. if necessary, would be maintained by the military force of the United States. Secretary Gresham concludes: The earnest appeal to the American minister for military protection by the officers of tho provisional government after it had been advanced shows the utter absurdity of the claim that it was established by a successful revolution of the people. The government of Hawaii surrendered its authority under a threat of war nntil such time only as the Government ot the United States, upon the fact being presented to it, ' should reinstate the constitutional sovereign and tho provisional government was created "to exist until the terms of union with the United Stat > of America has been negotiated and agreed upon.” A careful consideration of 5 , the acts will, I think, convince anyone that the treaty which was withdrawn from the Senate for further consideration should not be resubmitted for action. Our Government was the first to recognize the independence of the islands and should be tho last to assume sovereignty over them by force and fraud. Stevens Is Surprised. Augusta, Me., dispatch: John L. Stevens, late United States Minister to the Hawaiian Islands, was shown the press dispatch announcing the report 1 of SecretarvGresham VV SSL to the President upon TO the affairs connected 'KjX zCYII with the Hawaiian ArW| i * revolution. Mr. Stevens read it carefully ar, d said: “The posi\>tjon to which Secrea&.tory Gresham has \ ' \ fit to commit johe I' STEVENS himself is so extraordinary, so void of a real foundation of truth, so calumnious of the living and the dead, that I have no extended re--1 ply to make at this time. I prefer to let time and events and history decide as to the issue the Secretary has raised against the Provisional Government and the aspersions he sees fit to cast i on the deceased Captain of the Boston, ‘ the officers under his’command, and myself. The way the United States i Minister and the officers of the Boston discharged their responsibilities at Honolulu in January was more than covered by Secretary Bayard's instructions, approved by- President Cleveland, of July 12,1887.” / Sure to Result In Bloodshed. Indianapolis dispatch: When tho news of the action of the Cleveland Cabinet in reference to Hawaii was carried to General Harrison to-night he was inclined to doubt it, and said he did not think the President would announce' a policy, except in a message to Congress. “But in any event, whether or not," he said, “I do not want to comment on Mr. Clevelaad’Bacts.” General Harrbwnoontinned: “The Queen cans . ..

• not resume her throne, I believe, with- ' out bloodshed, and It remains now to see whether the United States torvloe will be used to OHtabligh her in power again. The question ot annexation In one of deop interest to America, and will bo handled, I have no doubt, by the newspapers and tho pooplo in a patriotic manner," HARD TO Results of the Election a Surprise to Washington Politicians. Washington dispatch: The result of the election was received with surprise by all political parties here. The unexpected happened in so many instances that in no case were the predictions of Democrats, Republicans, or Populists fully verified. The chief surprise of tho Democrates arises, not from tne fact that they were defeated, but that tho defeat was so general in all doubtful States and the Republican majorities so overwhelming. Expressions from nearly all the prominent Democratic leaders at the capital several days bo fore election showed that tho Democrats wore preparing for defeat in those States where the free coinage element is strong and tho disappointment over the passage of the repeal bill intense, but it was hardly expected that in the “sound money” States of New York and Massachusetts tho Democratic majorities of the past would lie so ruthlessly mowed down and the careful efforts of perfect organization avail so little. Despite this all the prominent Democratic leaders unite in ascribing the general defeat throughout the country to two causes. The dissatisfaction of the agricultural elements over the financial question and tho widespread apathy of disappointed office-seekers who have failed to realize the fruits of the last Democratic victory. In lowa the defeat of Boies is important, not in that it means a Republican Governor in that State and a Republican United States Senator next winter, but that it practically removes Boies from the list of Western candidates for the Presidency in ’9fl. The President did not show that intense interest in the returns that would have indicated a confidence in Democratic victory. Early in the evening tho President weni to his country home instead of remaining at the Executive Mansion, as is usual on election nights, and the returns he received were only those of sufficient importance to be telephoned out to Woodley by Private Secretary Thurber as the latter received them from the telegraph wire ai the White House. Gov. Boies Is Resigned. A dispatch from Waterloo, la., Governor Boies’ home, says: Governor Boies takes his defeat philosophically. On account of his illness he was notapirised of the result until next morning. The Governor manifested no surprise, and said that personally he had no feeling of regret, though for his party he had hoped for a different result. CARTER HARRISON’S ASSASSIN. Ills Trial Will Come Off During the Last Week of November. Eugene Joseph Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has been very quiet, except for the first few days, since his arrest, and has refused to "answer any questions. Instead of being the criminal hero he expected to become he finds he is despised jy all. The prisoners, his fellows, have been outspoken in their denunciations of him, and he knows their sentiments well. This general feeling of abhorrence had its effect on Prendergast, and after a few days’ incarceration he lost much of the fierce look and speech of madness which he betrayed on his arrest When the physicians appeared to make an examination of him the other day he was perfectly quiet, and refused to speak further than to answer necessary questions. He was subjected to a most elaborate physical examination. His head and body were measured, his eyesight tested, and his heart and lungs sounded. The physicians at the end refused to give the results until they had consulted together. And, in any case, they said, the trial was the only proper time for them to speak. Prendergast was brought before Judge Dunne for examination. His lawyers asked for thirty days’ postponement in which they might call witnesses from a distance. The case was set for Nov. 27. This proved satisfactory, and Prendergast was taken back to his cell. The defense will be insanity, and tho prosecution will endeavor to prove that Prendergast is not insane. Telegraphic Clicks.

- BOMBS IN A THEATER. ) B --K . I DASTARDLV anarchist out--1 RAGE AT BARCELONA. r „ 1 Infernal Maehlnen Thrown from the Gallery Into the Midst of the Large and Fashionable Audlenve — Fifteen Persons Killed—WUd Struggle to Escapr. j Deed of a Dastard. , A dynamite bomb thrown by alleged anarchists into tho midst of a crowded theater is the latest outrage and disaster to be recorded in Spain. The Liceo . Theater, on the Rambla de Capuchines, ’ the Italian opera house, in Barcelona, was filled the other night with an audience estimated to have numbered ' about 4.000 people. The opera “Will- , lam Tell” was being performed for the first time after a long interval. While the performance was proceeding two dynamite bombs wore suddenly hurled from the topmost gallery into the midst of the stalls on the floor of the house. One of the bombs exploded with a terrible report, which shook the theater to its foundations and scattering death and destruction upon all sides. The second bomb, happily, did ' not explode, having fallen in the lap of a lady. For a moment the Liceo was filled with smoke and dust, falling glass, and plaster, which caused a horrible rattling din, which increased the feeling of terror and wild panic which animated the vast audience. The terrified crowd, fearing that at any moment another oomb might be thrown into their midst, completely lost all sense of control; all regard for women and children sgemed to vanish, and tlfere was a mad rush for the doors. Men and women fought with each other as they crushed weaker ones beneath their feet in the effort to escape from the dynamite shaken theater, leaving the wounded and dying behind them, tended only by a few of the braver heads, who remained faithful to their dear ones. In this mad rush many old people and children were severely injured through being trampled under foot, while others were severely bruised and crushed by the crowd. The stalls presented a terrible sight; the part where the bomb exploded was a mass of splintered wreckage. Fifteen Dead Bodie. Found. When the wreckage was in some degree. cleared away there were found fifteen dead bodies, of which six were those of men and nine the corpses of women. The bodies of the unfortunate ladies lay close together, their brightcolored evening dresses, laces and jewelry, gloves, hats ana other finery drenched with blood and torn in the the most fearful manner. It is reported, soon after the examination of the dead, that a large proportion of the killed belonged to one family who had taken a number of tickets, it ■is presumed forming a theaierparty in honor of the birthday of cne of those lying there shattered to death by the anarchist's bomb. The stairs and corridors were next searched for dead and wounded people who fell victims to that terrible rush for the doors which followed the explosion. Upon the stairs and in the corridors three persons were found dead and a large number of seriously injured people were picked up. Throughout the night the theater was surrounded by a crowd of people who were with difficulty kept back by a strong body of police. Immediately after the explosion all the houses Inhabited by suspected anarchists were searched and several arrests made. Gen. Campos, soon as he was informed of the outrage, immediately wired to Madrid, ana government messages monopolized the wires for the remainder of the night. Among the dead is an American named Figueras. BODIES WERE MUTILATED. . Belief that the Crewa of the Wrecked Steamers Were Run Down by Some Boat. Owing to mutilation of many of the bodies from the Philadelphia-Albany collision on Lake Huron it is now believed that tho yawl containing twen-ty-four members of the combined crews was run into by some passing steamer. No sea was running from the time the lifeboats left the sinking Philadelphia until it was picked up by the life-sav-ing crew from'Point aux Barques station; and yet the skulls of some of the victims are crushed and all are more or less bruised. The Albany was bound from Chicago to Bttffalo, and the Philadelphia from Erie to Duluth. Both were running under check on account of the dense fog the water. Fog signals were being exchanged regularly with their whistles as the steamers felt their way through tho fogbanks. When the boats came together tho sharp iron prow of the Philadelphia struck the Albany forward of the second gangway, or about one-third the way back from the bow. The Philadelphia cut in nearly five feet and then hung there. The lake was nearly quiet, only a slight swell from the recent gale running. Capt. Angus McDonald at once realized that his ship had received a mortal blow and requested Capt. A. E. Huff to have the Philadelphia take the Albany in tow, with the hope of beaching the steamer or at least reaching shallow water, whore the wreck might be raised. This was done and the Philadelphia started for the shore, which was tome ten miles distant. Water poured so fast through the break in the Albany’s steel plates that after some ten minutes Capt. McDonald ordered his men to abandon the ship, and they were all safely taken on board the Philadelphia. Up to that time Capt. McDonald supposed that the Philadelphia was not seriously damaged, as she had struck his steamer head on. The Philadelphia continued to drag the sinking Albany shoreward, but half an hour after the collision the Albany reeled and then went to the bottom bow first. By this time the Philadelphia was seen to be in the greatest peril, and the two Lifeboats were launched. The crews were evenly divided between them, the two captains going in one with most of the officers, while to the other were allotted most of the common seamen. The two boats pulled away front the sinking steamer a few minutes before she followed the Albany. Notes of Current Events.
