MADISON, Wis, Nov. 1.-THE loss to the
Dominican Sisters by the destruction of
Edgewood seminary last night il about
$50, coo. partially insured, Frances Hen
neberry, of Chicago, aged 0. was uncon-
scious and nearly dead from smoke when
removed, and died this evening. How the
fire originated is q mystery. 1t started
shortly before Q o'clock on the second loor
of the main building. When the Sisters dis
covered il the halls were filed with dense
smoke aud panic among the fifty inmates
was threatened. but fortunately nearly all
were removed quietly and safely. Edge
wood is two miles from the city and has
neither telephone nor telegraph communi-
cation. 1t was some time after the fire
started before messenger was dispatched
to Madison for aid. Ii was at
least an hour before assistance arrived,
and the FIRE was then too far advanced for
effective work TO be done. Before IL
o'clock the new addition was in flames and
by midnight the whole institution was
burning. Kate Sweeney. little Michigan
girl, was nearly suffocated. and was res
cued with difficulty. Sister Bertha was
brought out of the building with the body
of one OF the dead IN her arms. She had
fallen unconscious TO the floor. All the
injured are recovering.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1T.-Dr. +. r. Day, of

he says the success of the revolution in
Hawaii was not the result of display Of
force by the United States; that up to
within twenty-four hours of the proclama-
tion of the new constitution by the queen,
no revolt was thought of: that the result
would have been the same whether the
marines were landed or not. but that the
landing of the marines made the revolu-
tion bloodless instead of bloody.
