 NEW YORK, May T.-A meeting of the New York Yacht club was held last even- ing, with q view of submitting to the members Lord Dunraven's letter relating to the American cup race.
 It Is lengthy communication of very friendly tenor, and it sbegins by explain ing why he sent the measurement of the Valkyrie. It thus continues: :. II am quite willing to accede to tho re- quest of the committee that the first race be sailed on Tuesday, Oct. l. But, as for many reasons it Is desirable that the matches should not extend over a long period of time, suggest for their consid- eration that the dates be Oct. l. ?, 3, 1, 5 and 2, or if that Is an incOnvenient day, Oct. s.
 "With regard to courses, am glad the committee have agreed that the matches shall be sailed outside. On my part, I willingly accept the proposition as to the direction of courses, namely:
 First race-To windward tor leeward) and return,
 Second race-Equilateral triangle, one side lthe first if possible) to windward
 Third race-To windward tor leeward) and return.
 Fourth race-Equilateral triangle, as in the case of second race.
 Fifth race-To windward tor lee ward) and return.
 II have pleasure also in agreeing to the committees proposal that the courses be thirty nautical miles in length in- stead of forty"

700 HOUSES BURNED.
St. Sauveur, Quebec, Laid Waste by
 a Fearful Fire.
TwO:PERsONs KILLED
Lnrger-Sfx Thousa nd Persons Rem dsred Homeless nnd Obliged to Camp Out.

QUEBEC, May 17.-St. Sauveur a sub- nrb of this city, has been rauaged by q terrible confagration. The fire broke out at midnight Wednesday night and burned fiercely all day yesterday and last night.
 Seven hundred houses were destroyed and over 5000 homeless people are camp ing out in the fields.
 Two lives are known to be lost and 1t is feared the number will be increased The two unfortunateS are Mai Short and Serg Wallick, of Battery B. They were at work heroically trying to stay the flames and were. killed by a tremendous OK p'osion while preparing to blow up some houses. The shock caused the walls to fal and both were buried in the ruins. Serg. NallickS body was soon found, but that of Maj. Short was only reached after hours of search. An arm and leg were torn off. The fire continued to burn until it reached the open country, where 1t died out for lack of material.
 The devastation is entirely due to the inadequacy of the fire department.
 The flames started in Mrs. McCann's house on Nalier street They spread with fearful rapidity to buildings on Chevel St. Peter and Ste. Marie streets.
 People were reused from their sleep by the cries of watchmen and rushed to the StItCISp iiiIiS lltifiIS bdltlN lliIt lo talCh up a few articles of clothing. There was 'disHay at the ease with which the fire jumped from one wooden building to an- other. The local arrangements for 1uenching tho fires were defective, and the Quebec fire brigade was sent for, and were quickly on the ground but their efforts were crippled for want of water. B battery was called out and rendered valuable assistance.
 The total losses so far incurred and in prospective may be $6O0,0 There is very small insurance.
 Application has been made for the use of the government building to shelter those who are compelled to stay out in the fields. Food is tieing distributed by the clergy. majority of the homeless belong to the working class, and as in- surance rates were almost prohibitivc, very few have anything to fall back on.,
 There was a strong easterly wind blow ing. and rain fell during the day.
 St Sauveur is separate municipality from Quebec. but is only separated from it by the width of St. Our street. It has a population of about 15,000.
 It was only on Wednesday night that the St. Sauveur municipality refused the offer of the city corporation to supply them with water.

A STEAMER FOUNDERS.
The Side c-Wheeler Alaskan Goes Down
 In the Pacific Ocean.
Hurricane Strikes the Big Vessel
 and She Springs n Leak-CO.vn rtly Action on the Part of the Crew. Forced to Put Ont Boats.

PORTLAND. Ore, May 17.-The steam l ship Columbia from San Francisco brings the captain. mate and eleven of the crew of the Oregon Navigation Company's large side wheel iron steamer Alaskan, which left here May II for San Francisc O and was wrecked in a gale off Cape Blanco May l3.
 The Alaskan had barely gone over the Columbia river bar when heavy weather set in. She labored badly. Although extremely swift in n good sea, she had shown signs of great structural weak ness when subjected to strain. A regu- l lar hurricane blew until Monday night, when a large leak was sprung as the steamer was off Cape Blanco, about 400 I miles south of tho Columbia.
 Her upper decks suddenly lifted,
 water rushed in, and she foundered in a few min utes. Captain Howes Is q
 good officer, but he could do little with the crew, which became paQic-
 stricken the moment they saw that the vessel was sure to 20 to the bottom. Most of the sailors, when the vessel broke
 in two, had to be brought up by the Cap tain and his officers at the point of a re-
 volver and forced to get out the lifeboats
 and the life raft. Five were drowned during the launching of the boat. Finally all the rest were slowed away
 in the boats which just cleared the ship when she went down. Capt. Howes, Quartermastor Brown, Pilot Woods, and ten sailors were in one boat which was picked up hy q tug. They say there is small chance of the other boats reaching land, as the sea was very heavy and their boat could not have lived much longer. When the tug sighted, Capt. Howes and pilot Woods were badly injured from eX- posture.
 Those who know the steamer say she was unsafe, She was in no condition to stand the trip to San Francisco, as she was out of order, besides being struc tur- ally weak. She was built six years ago by John Roach for MT. Willard. No eX- prnsc was spared in her fittings and deco ratiuns. She cost $35O, ,0O0, and was the conlpanion vessel of the Olympia, which now runs from Sea tile to Victoria. She made twenty-two knots, and was one of the Swiftcst boats on the coast.

Rice in an agglaN a.ed form He has not been in gool health for some time past and has been under the care of Dr. Reyes.
 The first serious development in Mir. Rice's case was Wednesday,, when pr, Reyes called Dr. Fuller in consultation. Every effort was made to relieve the sick man, but all was unavailing,
 Allen Thorndike Rice was best known as tho editor and proprietor of the North American Review. He was born in Bos- ton in 1853. of wealthy parents, and at eighteen years of age went to England and entered Oxford University, where be took his degree in 1875. Returning to the United States. he entered the Colum- bia College Law School, but has never piactised law.

 In 1879, he organized the Charnay ex- pedition to investigate ancient civiliza- tion in Central America and Mexico Tn 1884 he bought controlling influence in Le Matin, newspaper of Paris. He edttsd "Reminiscences of Abraham Lin coin" and contributed to Ancient Cities of the New World" He also advocated the Australian system of voting.
 In 1886 he was the Republican candi- date for congress in the Tenth district of New York, against General Spinola, and received the support of the Henry George party" His defeat was attrk bated to the treacLery pf the party leader to whom the conduct of his canvass was intrusted. Mr. Rice exposed the treach- cry, and caused the expulsion of the ao- cused leader from the party organiza- ton.
 Mr. Rice was the proprietor of large cattle ranch in Kansas. which brought him 2 handsome revenue. He had an ex- tensive knowledge of literary topics, and fluently the French and German Ian guages. His conversational powers were uncommonly brilliant. He had striking personality, being tall, we'll built and pro- portioned, dark brown hair, with eyes of similar color. His manners were polite and engaging and he was very energetic and hard worker. A habit of speaking rapidly, especially in an animated con- versatlon, often lead to stammering. MT. Bloc possessed an inherited fortune that was estimated at several millions.
 He was nominated to be minister to Russia by President Harrison. and was to have sailed for Europe Wednesday in the steamer City of Paris. Monday af- ternoon the soreness in MT. Rice's throat developed into a very severe attack of to.is.iit,s. the alterations being of uch a cha!a ,;r that his physician forbade all though, of d sea voyage.
