night a fire broke out on the steamer
Nahant, and before it could be con-
trolled it spread to the ore docks, the
largest in the world. Dock No. is on
fire, and the others are threatened with
destruction. Two Of the crew Of the
steamer are known to be lost, and sew
eraI others are injured. The steamer
was lying at the dock loading ore and
was only partially loaded. Shortly be-
fore midnight the crew discovered that
It was on fire, but the origin of the

formed, Baron Won F'rankenthurn, the
former minister of public instruction
and ecclesiastical affairs, who has been
entrusted with the task of forming a
ministry to succeed that of Count Cast
mir Badeni, which resigned yesterday,
will enter into negotiations with the
leaders of the Germans and Czechs
with the view Of bringing about a
modification of the ordinances making

a brisk wind was blowing and spread
the fire with great rapidity. From the
steamer the fire spread on dock No.
4, which was partly loaded with ore
and lumber. The lumber was soon a
mass of flames, and from this it spread
to the next dock. At midnight two
docks are on fire, and tremendous eff
forts are being made to save the other
two which comprise the group. The
steamer Is a total loss. Two Of its
crew, the names of whom cannot be
learned, are known to have been burn
ed to death. Several other members Of
the crew are badly burned, but will
recover. The fire is still burning fierce
ly, but it is impossible to estimate the
loss.

up for trial, and said that they were the

that he did not know whether there were
100 or $50 different men up there during his
service as clerk. He admitted that he had

former social and official position. but said
that when he went in Deputy Warden Lemon
told him that he was going to be treated just
as the many other convicts, black or white.
He had been reported once or twice for vio-
