WINNIPEG, Man., May 1.-Sixteen or
eighteen buildings, covering nearly three
acres, were burned at 2 o'clock this morn
ing by fire which started under the stage
of the Princess opera-house. The flames
spread with frightful rapidity. and, as the
water works had closed down for repairs,
the hydrants were useless. and the flames
were only checked when they had nothing
more to feed on.
Among the places destroyed is Nc
Gregor's livery, with thousands of dollars
worth of harness and all the wagons of the
Dominion Express Company; Frost e.
Woods agricultural implement ware
house; Green's feed store, Balt's grain
warehouse, six private residences and two
other stables, besides carriage repair
shop and the Salvation Army barracks.
The Grand Union hotel was in imminent
danger, but the firemen, aided by favor
able wind, saved the hotel. "Uncle Toms
Cabin" company lost everything. The
proprietors of the opera-house are heavy
losers. The total loss is heavy, but cannot
be estimated, while the insurance appears
to be light.

FOOD FOR STARVING RUSSIANS.
Supplies TO Be Sent From Both Atlantic
and Pacific Ports.

WASHINGTON CRY, MAY 1.-The Russian
famine relief committee of the United
States has issued circular to the people
of the Pacific slope noting with pleasure
the beginning of a movement among the
great communities for sending relief
ships for famine sufferers in
Russia directly from the Western
side of the continent and reaching the
southern part of Russia via Suez and the
Dardanelles.
The sending of relief ships from the
Eastern and Western coasts would, the
committee thinks, be a spectacle for the
admiration of the civilized world, weay-
ing thus in unison a bright rib
bon of Christian charity around the
whole earth. In order that the Pacific
movement may be in the highest degree
successful the committee invokes the aid
of the state authorities, municipalities,
social and charitable associations, clergy
and the press of the Pacific slope.

claring in favor of an eight-hour day and

gent was headed by band of music and
every contingent carried banners, while
the men themselves were bedecked with
rosettes and favors. The procession
marched in perfect order and with almost
military precision. The procession occu-
pied nearly three hours in entering Hyde
park, and il is estimated from 300,0 to
5oO,O men participated. A large force of
mounted and foot police and a contingent
of the Ambulance Association were pres
ent. The assemblage dispersed quietly.

Manchester, Glasgow and other large

Workman's Hymn" with wonderful en-
thusiasm. No troops were visible through
out the day. Reports from the Austrian
provinces indicate that the interest IN
May day celebrations is declining. The
most remarkable meeting here was
the gathering of the women at
Neulerchenfold, which were listened to
intently for two hours. Really eloquent
speeches were made by Fraulein Grot-
niger, a dressmaker, and Fraulein d'Vor-
ack. cork-cutter.
