Mr.. Thomas, with good force Of work
ers, has been here for couple of days TO
meet the members-elect who are coming in
Only small percentage of thu members
have arrived, but they are coming on every
train.
The managers for Mr. Brice have been

A BELGIAN PALACE BURNED.
The Loss in Art and other Treasure
Enormous

hDOELnOASs
BRUSSELS, Jan. 1.-The royal palace at
Loekin, suburb of this city, was burned
to-day. Princess Clementine, daughter of
the king, had narrow escape from being
burned to death Her governess was burned.
All the royal art collection was destroyed.
The fire was prevented from reaching the
kings private rooms.
AS soon as the fire was reported the king
and queen suspended their New Years day
reception and hastened thither. They
witnessed tie total destruction Of the palace,
which was their usual summer residence. 1t
is said the fire was caused by a defective
stove in the officers quarters. The loss is
immense as to money value, and as to the
destruction of art treasures that cannot be
replaced
LOOKED LIKE A HUGE FURNACE.
At Z O'Clock tonight the palace had the
appearance of a huge furnace. The heat
was so great as TO prevent the approach Of
the fire brigade, which at best could have
done but little. The queens apartments
suffered most
Much plate has been saved, but valuable
pictures, the Gobelin tapestries and the
great library are all consumed. The green
houses and stables are not touched. The
king is very anxious about the statuary in
JIe rODuUOu. lu6To ID lbtAo nOpo Glleib any
of it is saved. The only occupants of the
palace at the time Of the breaking out of
the fire were Princess Clementine, aged II,
a lady attendant, and her governess, Dram
court.
DEATH OF THE GovERNEss.
The governess, having escaped with
others, returned to the princess apartments
to secure some valuables aud was suffocated.
The queen is greatly grieved at her fate.
Another poignant source of regret Of her
majesty is that she loses interesting souve-
Mrs of her children, especially of her son,
who died at the age Of IL. Napoleon I. re-
sided for a time in this castle, but it has
since been much enlarged and improved.
INCENDIARISM RUMoRED.
At midnight there is report that the
fire was of incendiary origin, and that
Drancourt, the victim, perished while
searching for Princess Clementine, who she
supposed to be still in the palace. All the
private papers of the king and of Leopold
l., and the queens jewels were destroyed.
Only the walls are now standing. The
body of the governess has not been found.

BOYS PERISH IN A BLAZE.
NO DECREASE E IN qHE DEATH LIST
IN LONDON.

Twenty-Six Hopeless Youths from
2 to IL Years of Age Suffocated,
and Then Roasted - Six Hundred
People in the Building When the
Fire Broke Out.
LONDON. Jan. 1.-The boys section of the
paupers school in the district Of Forest
Gate in connection with Whitechapel and
Popular unions took fire last night while
the inmates were asleep, and was burned
with terrible results. twenty-six of the boys
who were in the upper stories being suf-
focated before they could be rescued.
Fifty-eight other boys were safely taken
from the burning building amid terrible
excitement.
SLID DOWN PIPES.
Two of the matrons escaped in safety by
sliding down water pipes. Several of the
boys escaped in the same way. The super
intendent of the school rushed through the
flames repeatedly and brought out a num-
Der of the inmates. There were 600 per-
sons in the institution. The bodies of those
who were suffocated were carried to the
main hall of the building, which was still
profusely decorated with Christmas greens.
The fire was started by an overheated stove
The female department was not touched.
The boys retired last evening in the highest
spirits, having been promised presents and
New Years fete to-day. The scenes in
the main hall, where the bodies of the dead
boys lay this morning, were narrowing.
Relatives and the school fellows of those
who perished we're loud in their lamenta-
tions
ORIGIN OF THE FTRE.
The fire originated in the clothing room
beneath the boys dormitory. Smoke and
flames came issuing from the stove fiue,
alarmed those sleeping on the top floor. and
they made their escape. The fire engines
were promptly on the scene. The employees
of the adjacent railway station rushed to
the scene and rendered valuable assistance.
The cries of the boys who were unable to
escape were terrible The bodies of the
boys were badly burned, but it is believed
that they were suffocated before they were
burned. The ages of the boys are from Z
to IL years,
