known to be among the dead and injured.
1t should be borne in mind that ow-
ing to the Disagreement of the bodies,
Identification in many cases is extreme
" uncertain and the list of the dead
given above is subject to revision
Among the articles picked up in the
ruins was a ring inscribed Ferdinand
q d'OrdinO- Sophie de BaViOrO'' the names
of the Duke and Duchesse a d'AlencOn
doubtless the betrothal ring of her
highness, the Duchesse d'Alencon. A
silver watch attached to a gold brooch
was also recognized as the property Of
the duchesse. The body of the
duchesse, however, has not yet been
found. Houses in the vicinity of the
scene of the disaster are being care
fully searched in the hope that the
duchesse is only injured and is being
tended at some private residence.
Up to daybreak the Due a. d'AlencOn re
fused to quit the scene and only went
home after daybreak because he was
physically incapable of further exer~
ton.
The Princess of Naples and near rela-
tives Of the missing duchesse sat up all
night long at the hotel of the Due
d'Alencon, the Avenue Friedland,
awaiting news.
PRESIDENT FAURE ACTIVE.
President Faure all yesterday even
ing was in constant communication
with the prefect of police, who forward
ed to him the names of the identified
bodies and those of the injured.
The president also dispatched orderly
officers everywhere to inquire into the
condition of the injured, and hearing
that number of the latter had been
taken to the Hospital BeujOn, the pres
ident at once proceeded there to con-
sole them.
At the courtyard OF the hospital Pres
ident Faure met the surgeons who
were attending the Injured and thanked
them for their devotion.
Nine FIOrez, the wife OF the Spanish
consul, expired just as President Faure
reached her bedside.
An extraordinary cabinet meeting
Will be held this evening as a result of
the fire.
Many tales of despair are told. Nine.
Feulard was saved by her husband,
who, as soon as he had placed her in
safety, dashed back to the burning
building in order to save his daughter
He had clasped the girl in his arms
and had nearly reached the door when
they were caught in the flames and

the eyes of the agonized mother. The
Baron du Mackau had a similar expert
ence. Seven times he penetrated the
flaming ruins in search of his sister,
each time to save another and only to
see his sister later fall before his eyes,
when he no longer had strength to lift
her.
The Marquise de Aigle was rescued
by a fireman after she had given her
self up as lost All her friends had
fallen around her and she was on her
knees in prayer awaiting death when a
fireman caught her up and succeeded
in extricating her, through she was
frightfully burned.
The ladies who succeeded in escaping
rushed shrieking madly into the court
yards of adjoining houses, wildly be
seeching help. The fact that the faces
and heads of the dead were so horribly
charred and disfgured is explained by
the fact that the capes worn were gen
erau of flimsy material and were the
first articles of apparel to catch fire.
The Marquise Lubersac is in critical
condition.
Nine Mathieyll had her whole body
blistered.
Nine La NIiolle was severely burned
about her back and head.
