Belgium Press Aroused to a Fury.


LONDON, May 1.-THE opposition of
United States Minister Terrell to the
action of the anti-slavery convention at
Brussels confirming the right of the

ST. PETERSBURG, May 17.-Horrible
scenes are reported to have occurred
during the burning of Tomisk, capital
of Western Siberia. The place was Wis
tied simultaneously by a con1agratiou
and cyclone, the result of the combined
disasters being the destruction of-three-
quarters of the buildings of wood
and the loss of hundreds of
lives. The cathedral was situated in
Hightown, and is now in ashes.
The walls of the edifioe in falling
crushed the adjacent hospital, burying
the inmates, who were subsequently
roasted alive. The garrison brutally re-
fused to render the least assistance in
saving lives or property, on the plea that
they had enough TO do TO protect the
barricks and other government buildings.
They also added that they had no time to

quent intervals TO give absolution to the
dying and to bless the dead. And never
was consolation carried by these sacred
rites more greatly needed by the panic
stricken mob of sufferers who huddIed
together in the streets, and firmly be-
lIeving that the end of the world had
come, abandoned themselves to stolid
despair. Much suffering, however,
might have been averted had there been
the slightest attempt at organized relief.
As If fire and water were not capable
of infiicting misery enough on the unfor-
tunate ontoasts, a storm, followed by a
sudden fall in the temperature, soon
devasted the city and buried it beneath a
mantle of snow, that added singing cold
to the sufferings of thousands of shelter
less men, women and children.
