4 Terrible Holocaust,

The hotel Royal, that we!.-known land
mark. of New York city, which has stood
for more than a quarter OF century ut
the southeast corner of Sixth avenue and
Fortieth street, was burned TO the ground
and large number Of people were burned,
suffocated and crushed in the ruins. At
the time OF the disaster there were nearly
$50 guests in the hotel The hotel en-
ployes all told number 50. OF this num-
Der OF people five have, at the latest ac-
counts, been found dead, six are in the hospi-
tai and 63 have been reported alive. One
hundred are still missing. The number OF
dead will probably vt exceed, at late
estimate, 80. The genes at the FIRE be-
fore the fire company arrived were heart
rending. One man whose name is not
known sprang from third story window
and was dashed 10 death on the ground
below. People turned their faces away
Mortified at the sight. This was on the
Sixth avenue side Of the building. A
moment later another man leaped from
window on the Fortieth street side and
was instantly killed. Shortly afterwards
two women jumped from windows on the
Sixth avenue side and were dead when
picked up. All vino escaped saved only
their night dresses and in some cases
hastily donned wrap. The origin of the
fire is unknown. 1t started in the base
Inent near the elevator shaft about o'clock
in the morning, which was located in the
middle of the building. The flames were
first seen pouring from the cupola on the
roof. directly over the elevator shaft, by
an engineer on Sixth avenue IL" rall-
way train, who stopped his engine directly
in front OF the hotel and blew the locomo-
tive whistle loud and continuously. This
unusual sound awoke many OF the sleep
ing people in the hotel aud brought police
men TO the scene. who at once sent out a
fire alarm from near by signal box,
while the employees OF the hotel on
night duty sought to- arouse the guests by
their cries of fire"

had made coirin OF cherry for her and
had rudely decorated it himself and lined
it as best he could. He kept her death a

The following letter explains itself:

Inc following letter explains itself:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1892.
Honorable j. S. Clarkson, chairman of
the Republican National Committee: My
Dear SRI am not a candidate for the
presidency, and my name will not go be-
fore the Republican national convention
for the nomination. / make this announce
ment in due season. To those who have
rendered mo their support / owe sincere
thanks and am most grateful for their
confidence. They will, / an sure. make
earnest effort in the approaching contest
which is rendered especially important by
reason OF the Industrial and financial poll
ces OF the government being at stake.
The popular decision on these ISSUES is of
great moment, and will be Of far reaching
consequence. Very sincerely yours,
JAMES G.. BLAINE.
The New York Tribune in speaking OF
the letter says: "Alr. Blaine tells the
chairman of the Republican national COM
mittee, and through him tue party ana the
country, that he is not a candidate for the
presidency and that his name will not go
before the Minneapolis convention. The
formal announcement Will cause sorrow
and disappointment TO thousands OF
Republicans, and there is no reason for
ulsScu'JllnB lDdJ ldCL. NO Oluer llNlnB
American has inspired such ardent devo-
ton, and upon no other have so many
Americans longed to confer the greatest
distinction within their gift. That is
simple and obvious truth which nobody
doubts and which disparages nobody. The
certainty that the foremost citizen OF the
country will not be the next President OF
the United States. and the presumption
that he will never occupy that great Office
cannot fail TO afIlict multitude of his fell
low citizens with keen sense Of personal
grief"
When the above dispatch was read TO
Gen. Alger at his home in Detroit by
Free Press reporter, he expressed surprise
at its tenor. Gen. Alger refused 10 talk
about his own prospects as candidate for
the presidential nomination. He refused
also to make any prophecy as to who
stood the best chance OF winning the
coveted prize. He hoped and believed
there would be number of candidates in
the field.
