MONTREAL, May by the burning of
the insane asylum at Tongue Pointe it is
known that over 100 souls perished, in
cluding imbeciles and sisters. The neigh
borhood Of the asylum is overrun with
lunatics.
Like dumb brutes, the flames possessed
fearful fascination for the poor creatures,
and many deliberately rushed into the
flames. The screams of the inmates could
plainly be heard above the roar of the
flames. Some tore their hair, others looked
on gleefully and clapped their hands. Ma
MACS were hemmed in their cells by flames,
and watched the devouring element ap-
proach with childish pleasure, and soon
they writhed in its grasp.
All the building is level with the ground.
Many firemen were injured while trying to
rescue the inmates. On the staff were sew
enty-two sisters and ninety-two lay sisters,
fourteen female keepers, twenty-eight male
keepers, and six night guardians. Besides
these 242 more were employed. The total
loss is estimated at $4,000.
The following inmates of the women's
violent ward were seen at the burned win
dows with the flames around them. and are
known to have perished:
Mrs. KELLY of Montreal.
MRS. WILLIAMS of Halifax.
BRIDGET MALoNEY of Montreal.
MISS LEToURNAY of Maisonnewoe.
None of them have been found. The
disaster has thrown several patients into
critical condition. One named Quinn died
yesterday while the fire was raging. An
other named Duquesne died in the even
ing. The last rites of the church to-day
were administered 10 a man named La
breque.
The latest addition to the asylum horror
Is the statement of DR.. Duquet that one
hundred men at least are missing and prob
ably dead. He admits that sixty women
patients we're lost, and it is safe to say
that the total number of victims foot up 200.
Everything is in such state OF disorder
that it is impossible to obtain reliable in
formation. The procession of lunatics to
this city commenced early this morning
and was kept up all day.

penalty may be in any sum under $500, the

pies that hang around the courts. interposed
a plea Of guilty, expecting to be allowed to
pay nominal fine, but great was their sur

misbehaved that the police had to be called

Free-Trade Speeches.
A Quiet Ceremony = General RosecranS
Daughter Married to Governor Toole
OF Montana.
Special by the California Associated Press

WASHINGTON. May THE tariff debate
IN the House to-day consisted of the same
old stereotyped arguments which have been
advanced so often. McKinley's argument
was in line with Blaine's North American
review article in his controversy with
Gladstone. Mckinley said that putting
sugar on the free-list would increase the
revenue S55.0OO,Ooo.
Mills delivered one of his old-time Demo-
cratic low-tariff speeches, and advanced no
new ideas. Some Republicans who are
anxious to secure amendments to the Nc
Klnley bill threaten to fight the caucus
agreement limiting the general debate to
four days and under the five-minute rule to
eight days.
The Democrats protest against the short
time for debate. Of course the speeches
made are entirely for campaign consump-
ton. Speaker Reed will not speak, and
many of the others will follow his example,
upon the theory that the tariff in its various
phases has been discussed so much already.

Bishops Nomination Likely to Be Conf gmed in
Few DAYS.

"a Few Days.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Bishop's nomina-
tion as Postmaster of Oakland. vice Hanna,
removed, will probably be confirmed in a
few days. Bishops confirmation has been
hanging fire for about month. Some Dem
ocrats have opposed the confirmation and
alleged that Hanna was wrongfully re-
moved before the expiration of his term
Upon Stanford's return he and McKenna
started. to work to have Bishops nomina-
tion confirmed. The Republicans here, who
claim TO be well informed, charge that the
President had good grounds for removing
Hanna, as he was not only inefficient, but
one of his clerks had defaulted In the sum
of $500. which Hanna only made good when
an inspector was sent out to Investigates.
Mr.. Mckenna and others of the Pacific
Coast delegation declined to commit them
selves as to this feature OF the matter, but
inquiry at the Postofiice Department deVel-
oped the fact that such report is not alto
gether devoid of truth. The Democrats in
terested, while not acknowledging the truth
OF this, say that even if it were SO, Hanna
acted h0norably in making the defalcation
good.
