IMMIGRANT STATION DESTROYED.
The Ellis Island Structure Goes Up In
 Ioaf

The Ellis Island Structure Goes Up in Smoke-No Lives Lost. New York, June 15.-The United States government immigrant station on Ellis Island was destroyed by fire early this morning (Tuesday). but with probably no loss of life. The fire was first seen at 12:3S a. m. by the lookout from the harbor police station, who first noticed small flame coming out of the window on the second floor. The fire spread rapidly. At 1:05 g. m. the caves along the entire roof began to fall, set- ting fire to the wooden piers and docks
 on either side.
 At 1:12 a. m the whole thing was 9 mass of flames, illuminating the entire inner harbor.
 As quickly as possible forty-five pos licemen and the police launches were sent to the island. The fire boat New Yorker was soon under headway with | firemen, policemen and others. The fire boat Zophar Mills was also sent to the
 island Rescuers also went over in
 launches, tugs and rowboats. The end of tha building in which tho
 fire started was used for sleeping, cook ing and eating by the immigrants. The detention pen, in which there were al- ways considerable number of immi- grants, old and young, male and fe-
 male, being held for investigation. was | soon consumed.
 There was hospital in the stations and it was seldom without occupants. It was at first believed by the police | that the loss of life would be heavy. but all the immigrants, two hundred in | number, were finally brought safely from the island to the barge office at | the Battery. The only persons now cn
 the island are the firemen, who are
 fighting the flames, and few attends
 ants. All the valuable records in the
 buildings are undoubtedly destroyed.

PARSONS HONOR THE QUEEN.
Notable Meeting Presided Over by Primo
 of Wales, Grand Master of England.

London, June 14--The Masonic meet ing at Albert hall this afternoon in commemoration of the queens diamond jubilee was a notable function. The hall was packed by over 1000 Masons in gorgeous regalia The Prince of
 Wales and the Duke of Connaught ar rived at o'clock, preceded by trum- peters sounding fanfares. When they
 entered the hall the organ played a grand, processional march and all pres
 ent rose to their feet. The grand offt- cers lined the aisle to the dias. The Prince of Wales as grand mas ter followed by an imposing staff composed of grand officers, moved to the sound of the majestic music, to his throne where surrounded by a 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 received the aud fence and announced that admission
 fees for the ceremony amounted tc 1000 pounds, half of which would gc to the Prince of Wales hospital fund and the other half to the different Ma sonic cities.
 The Duke of Connaught moved an address to the queen and it was carried
 with loud applause, after which the
 whole assemblage joined in singing the
 national anthem, to the accompaniment of the organ.

BOTTLE NIGHT OBSERYED,
Crockery Smashing on the Campus Las
 Evening-Volleys of All Kinds.


 Last night was observed on the cam- pus as bottle night, which during the past few years has come to be an an- nual occurrence on the evening of Flag day. The celebration began earlier than usual last evening, and it was only about 8 o'clock when the fusilade of crockery, glassware and anything frangible was begun by few advance shots of water jugs from the windows of South Middle. The bombardment of the pavementS was at first confined to scattering shots from first one dorni- tory window and then another, but fin- ally the campus population began to awake to the fact that bottle night, with all it's attending features, was on, and volleys of crockery of every con- ceivable kind poured from nearly every dormitory window. Each fusilade was accompanied by yells of exultant glee, as the work of destruction went on and the piles of broken ware on the pave ment increased.
 After the stock of campus crockery had been exhausted those students who remained in their rooms amused them- selves by firing down at the crowds of students collected below bags of water. Paper bags were filled with water then tied up quickly before the water soaked through, and thrown down to break over the head and shoulders of some | unsuspecting victim beneath.
 +a attracted large numbers of persons from the streets to see what was going on When the celebration had ended | the pavements in Vanderbilt court and in front of all the dormitories were cov- cred with broken crockery to the depth l of several inches.

ANGLO-VENEzUELAN TREATY.
Final Ratification of the New Instrurnen
 Between the Countries.

Final Ratification of the New Instrument
 Between the Countries.
 Washington, June 14.-The final rati- f1cation of the boundary treaty between Great Britain and Venezuela was ex- changed at the state department this afternoon.
 Because this exchange of notifications marked the closing chapter in the nego- tiations begun in the last and deciding phase almost two years ago, the occa- sion was marked with some formality. The scene was the diplomatic reception room in the state department in which the original treaty between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Secretary Olney was signed last December and where on February last the present treaty was signed by the British ambassador and the Venezuelan minister To-day there were present Sir Julian, Senor And rade, the Venezuelan minister, and his secretary of legation, Acting Secretary of State William R. Day and Assistant Secretary Thomas c. Cridler, who has been instrumental in framing the va rious treaties, protocols and other writ ings connected with the treaty.
 What remained to be done to-day was to exchange the copies of the treaties held by each party and to sign what is known as the exchange protocols. For this purpose Senor Andrade brought along the same magnificent penholders with its eagle quill that had been used last February to sign the original drafts of the treaties. This pen will be sent to Venezuela to be preserved as a relic
 When the signing was over and each of the parties held the exchange copies of the treaties there was a mutual ev- change of congratulations. The treaty now becomes binding upon the gov ernments of both Great Britain and Venezuela and they must begin the preparation of their cases to be submit ted to the arbitrators, who will meet in Paris.
