CONSUL AT ST. LOUIS.
Prominent Manufacture Will Re-
present Hawaii There.


Some gossip and comment was
caused yesterday by the announcement
Of the appointment of Mr.. George l.
Allen as the Hawaiian Consul in ST
Louis, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The appointment was a surprise
to nearly everybody, except Mr.. Allen
himself. Mr.. Allen was not disposed
to discuss his appointment when seen
yesterday, declaring that mere men
ton of the fact was all that he thought
necessary He said the news was not
a surprise to him; that he knew what
influences had secured his appoint
ment, but he declined to tell their
source
Mr.. Allen is president of the Fulton
Iron Works, vice president of George
Knapp & Co., publishers, and is in
terested in various other business con-
Germs. AS far as known there is no
salary attached to the office of Hawaii
an Consul, although there may be some
remuneration for the work in the shape
OF fees. A resident Consul or Vice
Consul of a foreign power is supposed
to use his efforts toward encouraging
trade relations between the two Gov
ernments. 1t is not known whether
Mr.. Allen has any business interests
in the Sandwich Islands, but it is 4
fact that the Fulton Iron Works, of
which he is president, has an agent
on the Islands and has equipped num-
Der of large sugar plantations there
with mills costing all the way from
IS, 900 to $4,000 each.

ted by President Dole Today.
President Dole will this morning re-
submit TO the Cabinet the matter oi
licensing the proposed beach hotel. L

official, source that the point at issue
which caused the matter TO be again
taken up, will be conceded by the Gov
eminent, and that the license will be
granted upon the terms proposed by
the promoters Of the hotel scheme

time it was presented, the Cabinet con
scented TO the issuance of a license &c
sell liquors TO patrons of the table OF
the living rooms of the house. Moth
ing was said of patrons OF the bath
ing establishment. which be an i'm
portant adjunct to the caravansary,
and this subject constituted the second
appeal TO the Cabinet, which reopened
negotiations. The promoters informed
the Government that they had no de-
sire TO operate saloon at the beach,
and that only bona-fide patrons Of the
hotel would be served with refresh
ments. In this they include only lodg-
ers, boarders and bathers.
principal promoter Of the project
said last night that an attractive place
for strictly respectable people would
be aimed at. 1t was his purpose to
have an establishment as near like
Delmonico's, in point of patronage, as
possible; place to attract tourists and
a desirable resort for the best people
of the town. 1t would be established
at a considerable outlay of money, and
maintained at large costs.

not leave you. 1 will take you or stay
and die with you Both escaped, though
severely injured"
The mother of the four year-old child,
Alfred David, one of the victims, arrived
during the day for the purpose of taking
the body away with her. 1t was decided,
however, that it was impossible to show
her the CHASTITY remains of her child.
When this news was communicated to
the unfortunate mother, in a1paEoxysm of
grief she tried to force her way into the
mortuary hall, screaming. II will see my
child"
Eventually it was found necessary to
forcibly remove the poor woman. Nine.
David lost her husband month ago and
her only other child died two weeks ago.
Priests accompanied each group of
mourners and very gradually the mort
uary hall was relieved of its CHASTITY con-
tents. The resources of pombes fune bres

of persons were completely calcined.
Workingmen in large numbers are busy
searching the ruins, being protected from
danger by portions of the fallen metal
roof, which has been showed up.
The Due d'Aencon, who was himself
injured in getting out of the burning
| building. remained near the scene all
night waiting Tor some definite informa-
tion with regard to the Duchesse, who is
numbered among the missing. The Due
was finally persuaded to leave this morn
ing, the search for the body of the Duchesse
having proved so far fruitless.
| A wedding-ring was found in the ruins
this morning. 1t bears this inscription
September g. 1868. Ferdinand dor
leans to Sophie Charlotte de Bavaria. y
Immediately after the finding of the
wedding-ring a silver ring and watch
with gold ornament were picked up, and
these were identified by servant as
having been worn by the Duchesse vester-
day. Soon after the body of the Duchesse
d Alencon was recovered. The maid ex-
amined the body carefully. The head
was burned to a cinder and most of the
clothing was gone. The maid identified
the lady by a fragment of stocking. To
make the identification more absolute the
dentist of the Duchesse was summoned.
He finally identified the body by gold
filings In the teeth and other signs.
When it was established beyond doubt
that the body was that of the Duchess it
was placed upon bier, around which the
ia amiy domestics fell on their knees and
offered prayers for the dead. The scene
was very impressive and the attendant
priests were moved to tears.
Th roughout the night i'm mense crowds
surrounded the Palace d'Industrie where
the recovered bodies were deposited, ana
the numbers increased as the night wore
on. Very few of the friends of the miss
ing ones were admitted until 6 O'Clock
this morning. A strong Gordon of police
kept order.
General Munier, who was badly injured,
died in the hospital last night. He sue.
ceeded in fighting his way out of the
burning building with his clothing afire.
On getting outside he threw himself into
a watering trough in the stable yard op-
posite, but he was so badly burned that
he could not survive the shock.
President Faure visited the in iured this
morning and redeIed every assistance
possible.
Mme Flores, wife of the Minister from
Ecuador, who died in the hospital last
night, expired just as Ter husband reached
her bedside.
The following description of the conduct
of the Sisters of Mercy who perished in
the flames is given by one of their num-
ber who succeeded in getting out of the
burning building:

DEATH"
| The Identification of the victims of the
bazaar disaster proceeded throughout the
afternoon and late tonight. Thirty bodies
lying in the Palais d'Industrie are as yet
found among the victims thus far except
those who had been living in France for
many years and regarded France as their
country. Nine. Theodore FORCES. one of
the victims, was formerly Miss Weiss
we iIler of the United States.
The report that Monslgnor C,ari, Papal
Nuncio, perish ed in the fire turns out to
have been incorrect The Nuncio to-day
sent long dispatch to the Pope, inform
ing him of the details of the catastrophe,
and in reply received a message stating
that his Holiness was profoundly affected.
Cardinal Richard. Archbishop of Paris,
who has been visiting Rome, left that

At special meeting of the Cabinet this
evening" attended by President Faure, all

rulers. The message from Emperor Will

| mourning into which Paris and the whole
France have been plunged"
1t concluded, May God comfort all un-
happy ones now wee ping for lives dear to
them"
Minister Hanotaux Of Foreign Affairs
announced that all of the diplomats in
Paris had visited the Foreign Office to
offer condolences.
| The Government has decided to hold q
memorial service in the Cathedral OF
Notre Dame for the unknown dead and
for any of the victims whose relatives de.

will attend the services, at which Cardi-
nal Richard will officiate. The Govern
ment will ask Parliament to grant credi If
for the relief of any necessitous relatives
of the dead.
President Faure has Cancelled all social
engagements for the week. Several Min
listers who were in the country returned to
the city as soon as they heard the news OF
the disaster.

The fact that the faces ana heads of the
victims were SO horribly charred and dis
figured is explained by the fact that the
capes worn were generally of fimsy ma
terial and were the first articles of apparel
to catch fire.
An eyewitness describes the scene as
follows:
"The women mostly wore light cos
tunes and those who escaped from the
furnace were screaming 'Firel HelpP
The faces of many of them were covered
with blood. From time to time children
ran out of the burning building crying
fol- their mothers. A number OF women
of the poorer classes standing in the
crowd at the risk of burning themselves
tore flaming clothing from the persons of
the ladies as the latter dashed in terroE
through the streets.
"The bazaar at that moment was moth.

the heat was unbearabIe we made our way
to some vacant ground between the bazaar
and Convent of Rue Bayard and Joined a
handful of workmen who were trying to
rescue people from the flames by means of
a ladder too short to avail much. While
the work of rescue was in progress,
heartrending cries from the rear attracted
us. Two women who had just escaped
from the flames were lying writhing on the
ground just beyond the margin of fire.
We darted in that direction. and as we
neared them pieces of burning debris fell
in showers upon our heads and we were
unable to reach these unfortunates, who
were then burning like torches They
had ceased to stir and they soon entirely

was only one American victim. This was,
indeed, remarkable, because just now
there is an unusually large number OF
Americans in Paris. They are generous
supporters of such fetes as the grand
Bazaar de Charlie; and, moreover, it gave
them favorable opportunity for getting
into close quarters with the aristocracy and
many of the celebrities of Paris.

PARIS, FRANCE, May 5.-The burning
of the Grand Bazaar de Charlie Yesterday
was more terrible than any catastrophe
that has occurred on the Continent since
the burning OF the Ring Theater IN vi
emma in November, 1881, where 500 lives
were lost. At 10 O'Clock this morning the
bodies of sixty-seven victims had been
identified, and forty-four others which had
been taken out OF the ruins were still un-
claimed and unidentified.
Margaret Hogan, a niece of Mayor
Strong of New York, was one of four
ladies who was assisting the Duchesse
d'Alencon at her stall at the bazaar. She
was the only one of the four who escaped.
She was just going TO the farther end OF
the hall with the duchesse when the cry of
"FireP' was raised. She remem bers moth

ing dragged by the hair from beneath a
pile of women and children in front of
