FIRE ON ELLIS ISLAND.
Governments Emigrant Receiving Station
Burped-ImpOrtant Documents Lost.


New York, June 15.-The great gov
ernment landing shed for immigrants
on Ellis island caught fire this morn
ing shortly afWr l o'clock and burned
to the ground, like torch of rosin.
The first signs of fire were noticed by
pilots on the river and men along shore
at 12:45.
There was little smoke and a strange
white light, which spread and spread
with a swiftness that seemed incredi-
Bile until the whole mass of the build
ing was a cleaning sheet of flame.
From white it turned to yellow and
burned away with incredible swiftness,
lighting up the bay and furnishing one
of the most unexampled spectacles Of
pyrotechnic magnificence that New
York has ever looked upon.
The effect of the many streams OF
salt water forced on the burning struc-
ture could be seen even from New
York They deadened the flames a bit
and deepened the coloring, but that
was all The building was too eXten-
sive and the area too vast for hum
dred streams to be of any avail.
There were about 400 immigrants on
the island. ali of whom were safely re-.
moved.
The greater number of the people in
the retention pen were asleep. Great
confusion came when they were aroused.
Still greater confusion came when an
effort was made to tell them that the
building was afire, but that they were
not to be at all excited. as there was
absolutely no danger. Many of them
could not understand English. All diff
Guilty was removed. however, when one
of the watchmen suggested that all
should be driven out like sheep without
an attempt at explanation. This was
done. 1t was a success. They were then
conveyed by ferryboats to the city and
crowded into the Barge office.
Ellis island is about 21a acres in ex-
tent. 1t was opened for the reception of
immigrants on Jan. 1, 1892. On the
northeast side of the island is a crib
work breakwater, with an average
width of 40 feet and 1856 feet long.
An immense building for the recep-
tion and registration of immigrants
stood a short distance back of a bank
and faced the Narrows. The main build
ing was 200 feet wide by $50 feet long,
and on each side and even with the
front of the main building were two
wings, one story high, 120 feet long and
so feet wide.
The cost OF the buildings and plant
on the island was S7S0.000. and the loss
will approximate that figure. In the
main building were the offices of the
United States immigration bureau, con-
tanning valuable records, which were
