Worse Than Reported.

MONTREAL, April 7.-As full details of
Tongue Point asylum fire become known
here the horror is intensified and the sis
ter is derided who asserts that the num-
ber of dead does not exceed 60. It is
known by the last report to the Quebec
government that there was 1,780 inmates
instead of 1900 and this much is certain,
that no one will ever know the number of
victims. From collateral informrtion it
must be that there are $50 dead. The
coroner, with Hon. Premier Mercier, Judge
Dugas, Senator Thibaudeau and two
crown ministers arrived at the scene this
afternoon, and if enough material can be
found an inquest will be held. The fire.
mon have left the grounds and the heat
is dying out of the ruins.

Is the National Game Dying,

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE declaration of
President Spalding that the interest in
the national game is dying out was the
sole topic of conversation in base ball
circles to-day. Mr.. Spalding's interview,
together with the announcement of
his departure Immediately afterward
for New York, has given rise
to all sorts of rumors. Among them re
whispers that the Pittsburg Natit,fsl
league team is to be transferred to Bt..-
more and the Cleveland club to St. LoE
Owing to President Spaldings abseI s.
these rumors could not be verified or CO

and the democrats carried nearly every
thing. The republicans probably elected
four aldermen, while the democrats have
thirteen. r. A. Smith, democratic can
didate for mayor, will have at least 1000
majority over A. r. Kiefer, republican.
With three wards to hear from, Smith has

There WINS less doing in wheat to-day, still fair
business was transacted. There was some rather
heavy realizing on the part of operators. Cool
but otherwise fine weather, and somewhat i'm
proved crop prospects, together with less favor
able foreign market reports and increasing
European shipments had tendency to create
q weakness and stimulated the desire to sell.

Hansbrough's Bill to Reimburse North
Dakota for Extra Expenses
OF the Con. Con.
Has Been Favorably Reported to tn
House by the Committee on
Territories.
To Reimburse North Dakota,

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Senator Wash
burn to-day introduced bill asking an
appropriation of 100000 to enable the
secretary of the treasury to carry out
that portion of an act approved June IA,
1889, for the relief of the Chippewa In
dians in Minnesota. The money neces-
sary is to be Immediately available and
is to be used in making surveys ap-
praisals, removals and ailotments of the
land acquired from the Chippewas. The
senate committee on military affairs to-
day reported favorably the bill granting
the Duluth & Manitoba railroad the right
of way across Fort Pembina reservation
in North Dakota. The house committee
on territories to-day decided to report
favorably Congressman Hansbrough's
bill to reimburse North Dakota for
excess of the expense for the constitu-
tional convention held at Bismarck last
July. The expenses were $1O,96371
above the $4,000 allowed. This amount
will be reported by the committee
IRRIGATION MATTERS.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-I sub-com-
mittee of the house committee on irriga-
ClOu Will report 10 CQe Iull COmmltCee TO-
morrow the general irrigation bill. The
provisions are almost identically the
same as the Plumb bill now before the
senate. About the only change from the
Plumb bill is in reference to tho plans
for irrigating the Dakotas, and this posi-
ton has already been telegraphed. The
full committee will undoubtedly adopt
the bill tomorrow, and it will be- re-
ported to the house at the first oppor-
tunlty. Congressman Hansbrough,
chairman of the subcommittee, believes
it will pass this session.
HANSBROUGH WANTS CASH.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Congressman
Hansbrough this morning made an argu-
ment before the house committee on
public buildings and grounds in support
of demand for $4,000 for a penitenti-
ary at Grafton. The committee believes
the law grants North Dakota $4,000 in
land for the penitentiary while Hans
brough declares the organic act means
that much cash.

AN APPALLING SPECTACLE.

Inside, Chief Benoits says, it was such
a sight as no fireman ever witnessed. In
one ward that he entered were twenty
five patients, and at his approach they
huddled together like pack of beasts,
entwining their arms into one mass of
humanity. He seized the nearest, but
said the chief, II could no more separate
the crowd than I could parts of your
horse" He tugged at them until the fire
darted into their garments and embodied
them like a shroud of fame, and then he
escaped with his life. In another ward
three fremen were nearly trapped to
death. They entered and the door, which
had spring lock. closed behind them.
AS is customary there was no handle on
the inside. The door resisted their axes
and they rushed to the windows, but
were driven back by the flames. The
chief suspected their peril and sent aid
to the other side and the men we're car
.ried down on ladders The engineer of
the building did good work in saving
nine patients and every fireman made q
record of which he may feel proud.

THE CRY OF "FIRE',

was given. The fire originated in a
cupboard and was the work of patient.
From the construction of the building
there is doubt in some minds as to
whether it was intended for an asylum or

NOT A MALE PATIENT WAS LOST.

Among the women it was different
The less hopeless cases we're placed in
the lower wards and they were removed
without difficulty, but from the upper
wards, where the violent patients were
secured, there came the widest screams
as they resisted the nuns who we're be-
seeching them to make their escape. At
the windows a maniac would be seen
peeping through the bars, grinning and
jabbering at the bright flame that went
up to the sky. AS the heat become more
intense they would grasp the bars and
remain there until the flames enveloped
them. The inhabitants had come
from all parts around about, at
tracted by the blaze, and IN an hour the
little village was one surgipg mass of
shouting, vociferating people, recount
ing the strange scenes they had beheld.
When the tiremen found they we're pow
erless to save the building they turned
their attention to the inmates and burst
in the doors with axes.

blast furnace; in any case it served the
latter purpose admirably. It was con-
structed of brick and was 800 feet long,
running back from the river half the dis
tance. The main building occupied the
center and on each side extended four
wings six stories in height. To the east
we're the mems wards and to the west the
women's, making sixty in all. In the
rear we're the engine house and laundry
and store rooms, all of which we're saved
The fire started in the second ward on
the women's side in the upper story, and
as ventilation was carried on by a longi-
tudinal shaft connected with towers, the
flames soon appeared blazing up through
the roof in the center of each tower. At
IL :55 telegraphic message was received
in Montreal saying the asylum was on
fire, and
1MPLORING ASSISTANCE.
This could not be given without con-
sulting Mayor Grenier, who was found at
the Banque du Peuple, and he at once
ordered engines to be dispatched. One
engine and two reels started on their ton
mile run and were quickly on tn, spot
but they might as we'll have remained at
home, for in five minutes they exhausted
the water supply. The only thing that
could have saved the building was the
st. Lawrence river and it was half-mile
distant. When the associated press re-
porter arrived with the firemen, the dome
OF one tower had just fallen and the
flames were bursting everywhere. The
streams Of water we're brought to bear on
the flames and while they lasted somo
good work was done, but that was for a
very brief time and then the horror OF the
situation was revealed. As the heat in
creased the statues fell from their inches
to the ground and then the habitants
Frustrated themselves, crying aloud that
the saints had deserted them indeed. In
the meantime beds, furniture and uten-
sils of every description we're being
showered from the windows and stream
of i'll clad mon poured out of the eastern
wing.

eads All.

The United States Official Investigation of Baking
Powders made, under authority Of Congress, by the
Chemical Division of the Department of Agriculture.
Washington D. c.. and recently completed, furnishes
the highest authoritative information as to which is
the best baking powder. The Official Report shows
the Royal Baking Powder to be a cream of tartar
baking powder, superior to all others in strength and
leavening power
The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure made
from the most wholesome materials and produces finer
favored sweeter lighter, more palatable, wholesome
and delicious bread, biscuit cake pastry etc., than
any other baking powder or leavenng agent
Being of greater strength than any other baking
powder, it is also the most economical in use.
If there are any housekeepers not using the Royal
Baking Powder these great qualities warrant them
