dience was panic-stricken and many
were tramped almost TO death, while
some were seriously burned.
The building was covered with taf
paper and was mass Of flames in q
ver = short time. The theater is about
three miles from the city and was prln-
cipally patronized by women and chill
dren, Ed. G.. Bournes" Company has
been playing in the building all the
season. :. "The Streets Of New York"
was being produced. The third act is
principally composed Of fire scene,
and excelsior wrapped about wires was
used on he stage to produce the scenic
effect. When the excelsior was lgnlted
lamp on the stage exploded and the
tar paper roofing on the building was
instantly ignited. !,
The curtain was instantly raised, and
a. soon as the crowd observed that the
building was on fire panic ensued
and rush was made for the front and
side entrances. The building was a
| large one-story frame structure and had
formerly been used as skating rink.
Men and women went wild, running
over each other. Children were
trampled down, as we'll as women, by
the score. The building, although
about 800 feet in length, was mass OF
flames in about three minutes. Moth
ers and fathers. in the wild scramble
to save their lives, were lost from their
children, Many children we're rescued
from the burning building by heroic
men, who themselves were terribly
burned about their faces and hands II
accomplishing the undertaking. Those
not injured rushed panic-strickel
through the woods toward the city, no
even waiting for the long trains o
street cars standing in waiting to TAX
the crowd home.
Owing to the audience consisting
mostly of women and children Their
was much screaming and the reports
during the night were greatly e1agger
ated, There is much relief over tn
fact that no lives we're lost and that M

General Miles Thinks Federal Build
inEk Should BE Fortified.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-According to
various correspondents located here Gen
Miles favors the fertilization of federal
said recommended that at least one Calling
gun be placed in the new structure at Chi
cage. In an interview he is reported as
saying: There are nine places in this coun-
try where the treasure chests of Uncle Sam
are located, and for the past twenty years
/ have urged the necessity or protecting
these repositories with the most approved
pattern of firearms. When the subject of
a new public building at Chicago was
preached, one of my first thoughts was for
protective measures in case there should be
an attempt directed against the subtreasury
holdings, which will be put in the building
While / was in ConStantinope the details
of the attack on the Turkish bank in thai
city We're related to me, and brought back
to me the necessity for some means of de-
Tense for the public institutions of the
United States. Calling guns could be placed
where they would be available at a mo-
ments notice, and too much publicity could
not be given concerning their presence in
the most commanding spots.'
General Miles does not believe there is
any necessity for fortifying pOStoff1ce build
ings or other federal structures, except those
in which large sums of government money
are kept. He thinks that in each of the
cities where SubtreaSurleS are located a de-
tail of regular troops should be maintained.
According to his plan, this would involve
no additional expense to the government.

ury Department calls attention to the fact

"A dispatch from Christiana a few days
ago said that advices had reached there
from Spitzbergen announcing that the crew
of wrecked ship were believed to have
news of Solomon August Andree, the
Swedish explorer, who, with Nils Strind-
berg and Knut Hjalmar Ferdinand
Fraenckel, left Danes island, near Spitz-
bergen, in balloon on July Il last in an
attempt to cross the region of the north
pole. On July 27 last a dispatch from Rot
terdam said letter from Captain Lehman,
of the Dutch steamer Dordrecht, had APP
peared in one of the newspapers of that city
saying that the captain had seen a curious
object hoa,ing in the White sea on July H.
which reSembled balloon. On the follow
ing day DIR. ridtjof Nansen, the arctic ex-
plorer was quoted in a dispatch from
Chrstiania as having expressed the opin-
ion that it would have been impossible for
Herr AndreeS balloon to have reached the
White sea so soon after the ascent. The
Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin on Aug. pub
lished a dispatch from Vardoe saying that
the object seen floating in the White sea
by Captain Lehman turned out to be the
body of a whale which, it hoated on the
water, bore a close resemblance to the TOD

towed into the harbor of Vardoe.
