A Russian Theatre Burned.

a huSSldn IQ0aUro 6uruoO.
ST.. PETERSBURG. March 20-A fire broke
out at O'Clock this evening in the Winter
Livadia Theatre during the performance. No
lives were lost. The building was destroyed.
The following are the details of the fire at
the Theatre Demidoff: The fire lasted till four
in the morning, although the theatre stands
isolated in a garden. The wind blew the
flames in the direction of some neighborIng
houses, doing only slight damage to them,
however The whole theatre was utterly con-
sumed. 1t wac wooden building and not
trace of it is visible. There must have been
about 800 persons IN the theatre when the fire
broke out. Thanks to the energy and presence
of mind of the commssaire of police all were
saved. Seeing the smoke he at once rose and
called out 10 the audience, "Don't stir; let one
row of stalls only be emptied at a time, and in
five minutes the house can be cleared" His
suggestion was followed. Meanwhile the
police opened the doors, which we're construct
ed after the panic caused by the destruction of
the Ring Theatre at Vienna, and in five min
utes, as he had told the people, the theatre was
emptied. The fire had originated in one of the
actresses rooms. There were only two tiers in
the theatre, one above the stalls. The build
ing was insured for $4,000.

other points along the railroad state that
heavy storm is prevailing, and the blockade
continues. This is the heaviest snow storm on
the head waters of the mountain tributaries of

The Newfoundland Ice Blockade I'm
broken

ST. JOHNS, N. F., March 20.-The prospects
continue gloomy. The wind changed yester-
day and started the ice off from the headlands
but the bay and harbor are still blocked. The
Dundee steamer "Resolute" was seen from
the block house to-day forcing out through
the pack. The Harbor Grace fleet consisting
of two large steamers and nine sailing vessels
is still firmly locked inside the mouth of the
harbor and no possibility of getting clear till
strong westerly winds set in. The crews of
these vessels number between HOO and 1900
men and unless there is favorable change
soon very disastrous consequences will follow.
