hall was packed by over 10000 Free
,Masons in gorgeous regalia. The
prince Of Wales and the duke of Con-

by trumpeters sounding fanfares.
When they entered the hall the organs
played a grand march and all present
rose to their feet. The grand officers
lined the aisle to the dais. The prince
of Wales, as grand master of England,
followed by an imposing staff COM
posed of grand officers, moved to the
sound of the majestic music to hiss
throne, where, surrounded by bril-
liant phalanX of officers, he was re-
ceived and greeted in the united form
of salutation reserved for his high sta
ton. The prince then addressed the
audience and announced that the adj
mission fees for the ceremony amount
ed to $4,000, half of which would go
to the Prince of Wales hospital fund
and the other half to the different Ma
sonic charities. The duke of Con-
naught moved an address to the queen
in behalf Of the Masons, and it was
carried with applause, after which the
whole assemblage joined in singing
the national anthem to the accompani-
ment of the organ.

Te Government migrant Station
Completely Destroyed.
New York, June 16. - The United
States government immigrant station
on Ellis island, in New York harbor,
was destroyed by fire, but probably
without loss Of life. The end Of the
building in which the fire started was
used for sleeping, cooking and eating
by the immigrants. The detention
pen, in which there are always a con-
siderable number of immigrants being
held for investigation, was soon con-
sumed.
Besides the buildings mentioned,
there are a hospital, the affices of the
commissioners, a laundry, a disinfect-
ing department. and great cisterns in
which are stored large quantities of
rain water gathered from the roofs.
The physicians and minor officials live
in the smaller buildings. It is pre-
sumed at this hour that these, with
all the other buildings on the island,
will be destroyed. The valuable rec
ords are undoubtedly destroyed. The
two hundred immigrants were safely
transferred from the island to the
barge office at the Battery, leaving no
one on the island except the tiremen
and few attendants. The cost of
the plant is said to have been $780,
600. All records were lost.

San Francisco, June 16. - Advices

while Oh the voyage from Puget sound
to Englan with a cargo of lumber the
Kinkora was struck and dismantled by
a squall on May and driven on Clip
perton reef, some 300 miles northwest
Of Acapulco. Another storm drove
the vessel from the reef that night and
the crew of twenty seven landed on
the reef and camped there. After
waiting vainly for a passing vessel for
some days, the first officer and crew
of six men volunteered to make the
trip to Acapulco, which they finally
reached, more dead than alive, on
June 3. When the rescuing party left
Clipperton reef there was sufficient
food to last the remaining twenty men
about four months.

Position-Other Claims.
Washington, June 16.-It is claimed
that there has been a serious blunder
in the handling of the DR.. Ruiz case,
and that DR.. Congosto's report has
probably broken down, The Spanish
law was not violated by keeping DR..
Ruiz incommunicado for over seventy
two hours. Now, since it is seen that
Spain has the stronger position on the
question of law as to DR.. Ruiz's in
generation, the state department will
base it's principal contention on his
death in custody. The way which is
opened by the Ruiz case will give the
state department an opportunity it has
long been waiting for to push some
long standing claims arising from the
ten years war. There are eleven in
all ranging from $1,000 to 100000,
and amounting to about half a mil
lion dollars. The United States also
has claims against Spain, growing out
of the present trouble in Cuba, which
at the beginning of the present year
were estimated by Secretary Olney at
little less than $19,OOO,OOO.

a witness in a murder case in Indi-
ana recently testified that the evening
before the tragedy he dined with the
victim, and the latter, on paying the
waiter, drew a fve-dollar bill from
a large roll containing fifty times that
amount. This statement suggested a
motive for the murder which had hith-

civilization may emphasize the fact
that to offer temptation is as culpable
as the crime it incites. The man who
needlessly opens rolls of money in pub

valuable jewels in street cars; the
merchant who thoughtlessly gives his
young clerk tempting opportunities for

without oversight all accounts to her

found to be an explosion of the benzine
