BELIETED TO BE UNDERNEATH
BOSTON'S CITY HILL.
Concrete Floor Of Basement Room
sinks Out of Sight Into n Chasm
Twenty Feet In Depth-A Panic Caused

BosToN, March "a The concrete floor
of room in the basement of the city
hall dropped out Of sight early this
morning.
The room was used to store city prop
erty in, and the missing portion of the
floor is about twelve feet square.
No one has yet ventured To the eige,
but the hole looks as II it were 20 feet IN
depth, and is AS clean cut as If made with
shovels.
The discovery caused n panic. and the
entire basement is now roped off. There
is danger that the whole structure will
disappear
A portion OF the goods in the room
consist of boxes filed with the plates Of
old city documents, and 125 OF these
boxes and their contents went into the
hole.
It is feared that shifting quicksands
caused the disaster. and everybody is
regarding the building with distrust, not
unmixed with tear.

Another View of 1t.

WASHINGTON, March "a The resigna-
ton OF all the delegates to the interna-
tional monetary conference have been re-
ceived. At the cabinet mesting tomor-
row the question whether or not a new
body of delegates shall be appointed will
probably be decided.
The opinion is held by some persons
that President Cleveland nas practically
concluded not to send another delegation
to Brussels. In that case. the Minister
to Belgium will probably be designated
to attend the conference.
Great Britain has intimat ed that the
question whether or not the conference
should reconvene Is one which the United
States as the inviting power must deter
mine. After talk with Mr. Cleveland
this morniny, Governor McCreary said
that as the United States had called the
would certainly be obliged to send a
com mission.
