Caused by an Explosion.
1t appears that the fire originated on
the left side of the bazaar The illum-
mating apparatus of the kinemetograph
exploded and set fire to the Turkish
curtains and hangings. In few mo-
ments the flames spread along the
whole side of the bazaar. The public
threw themselves instinctively to the
right side of the building, which
backed on the high wall of an adjoin-
ing edifice. The bazaar altogether had
eight doors, three in frcnt and one on
the left side. In the rear were four,
like French windows, which were
specially reserved for the employees.
The crowd near the main entrance
were able 10 escape, but those at the
other end, not knowing of the doors
reserved for the employees, found them
selves hemmed in.
Victims Crushed to Death.
AS the fire spread the pressure on the
right side, where there were no exits,
kept steadily increasing. Here num-
ber of victims were crushed to death.
Suddenly, above the roar of the flames,
were heard cries Of terror and despair
ing appeals for help from the rear,
where the unfortunates were being
burned alive. The fire made furious
headway. Cries of despair arose out.

Place Alma and the RuJ Francaise,

burned off or torn off. Every available

A policeman who was on duty at the

1000 to 1900 people were in the build

that the alarm caused general panic,

ELECTRIC CARS
To Displace Steam Cars for Urban
Traffic

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-The an
nounced intention of the Illinois Central
railroad to substitute electric cars for
steam cars in the handling of Chicago
suburban traffic has brought to light
the fact that the Southern Pacific COM
pany is seriously considering the ad-
visibility of making similar change on
its broadgauge lines running from Oak
land to Fruitvale, Alameda and Berke-
ley Both c. p. Huntington and Col z.
f. Crocker admitted this tonight.
For some time past C. p. Huntington
has had several engineers at work study
ing the matter. The ferry travel of the
company amounts annually to over H.
900, 900 people. The great majority of
the ferry travellers go by the broad
gauge line, which has forty miles of road
between Oakland, Fruitvale, Alameda
and Berkeley. The present tracks can
be used for electric cars which, If
adopted, would probably be propelled by
motors instead of the overhead trolley
system.
Six, seven or ten electric cars may
make a train, the speed of which would
depend solely on the strength of the
current. 1t is not proposed to use the
electric cars for freight or for aught but
ferry traffic.
Mr. Huntington thinks an electric
system can be maintained at less cost
than the existing system.

it was said that number of letters had
been received during the day from IN
yestors in the E. S. Dean company, who
wanted the interchange to look out for
their interests. The interchange. it is
said, is taking up these without charg
ing any advance and will not give their
clients any hope that they can recover
anything. The interchange will recon-

THE GREAT BURNS HANDICAP
TO BE RUN AT OAKLAND THIS
AFTERNOON
List of Horses, Riders and Weights.
Three Short Mills Which Were,
Unfortunately, Not Fatal

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 9.-Tomor-
row afternoon at the Oakland track the
richest event of the year, the Burns
handicap, with a guaranteed value Oh
SIC, 900. will be run. The distance is one
mile and a quarter. and horses of all
ages are eligible to start. The weather
and track conditions will be perfect, and
unless all signs fail. vast crowd Will
cross the bay to witness the contest
between a dozen crack horses for the
princely sum which awaits the victor.
Extraordinary preparations have been
in progress this year to make the stake
an epoch in the history of winter rae
ing. and as the field of starters is COM
posed. with few exception, of the cream
of the racing material quartered at
the California tracks, 1t seems certain
that success will crown the efforts OF
the California Jockey club in its attempt
to eclipse similar events of past sea-
sons.
The race this year has decidedly open
appearance. and public opinion is oi-
vided to suc0 an extent that 1t is prac-
tically impossible to advance theory
as to whom will be installed favorte
A careful perusal of the entries, now
ever. would seem to indicate that IA
voritism will be divided between the
Elriwood Stock farm entries-lnstalla-
tor and The Roman-and the Burns d
Waterhouse pair-Candaleria and AL
tamax. With one or two exceptions
the chances of annexing the stake
appear to be as rosy for one candidate
as the other, and it seems foregone
conclusion that the track record will
be smashed.
Among the COMPETITORS is Harvey's
mare, Wheel of Fortune, the winner or
the Burns handicap last season. She
is heavily handicapped in tomorrows
event, however, and it is agreed that
this impost will greatly initiate against
her chances of winning.
The Wheel worked the distance today
in 2:13
Pat Dunno withdrew his entries at
the last moment, being dissatisfied with
the weight allotments. He was deter
mined to have a starter, and today
bought Logenbula from Green B. Nor

his new purchase. Lobengula worked
the handicap distance in 2:11&.

BUTLER'S ATTORNEYS
Mourn Because the Murderer's Check
Is Worthless

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9-Murderer
Buffers attorneys will not receive pay
for their services. One of the last acts
of the mans disreputable career in San
Francisco as liar and maker Of false
confessions was the signing of check
en- an Australian bank for over $1400
payable to his attorneys. 1t was learned
today that the news of the issuing of
the check was cabled to Sydney ar<0the
police Immediately made inquiry at the
bank on which the paper was drawn to
ascertain whether Burgess, Harwood
Ashe or Butler had funds on deposit in
the institution. Payment will be refused
on the draft when 1t is received, aNhere
are no funds to the credit of Butler or
any of his aliases at any of the banks
of New South Wales Australia or New
Zealand.
The attorneys who defended Butler
will have to be content with the adver-
tising received through their connection

Chinese immigration

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Secretary
Gage and the immigration officiaie are
perplexed as to the best course to pur-
sue in regard to the immigration OF
large number of Chinese laborers in con-
nection wit hthe Chinese exhibit at the
national exposition at Nashville, Tenn.
The law allows the immigration OF a SUI
ficient number of Chinese laborers to do
the work of installing the exhibit and
also such as may desire to give enter
tainments in the exhibition on condition
that bond is given that they will leave
the country at the close of the exhibit
ton. The experience of the officials is
that many of the Chinese, finding busi-
ness dull after a week or two, drift over
the country and engage in other bus'-
ness. While this is a violation of the
spirit of the law. there does not seem to
be any way of preventing it. The matter,
however, is under consideration by the
officials and it is hoped that some rem
edy may be discovered.

THE POSTAL CONGRESS
WILL BE PROVIDED WITH SUIT
ABLE QUARTERS
The Net Result Will Probably Be to
the Disadvantage of the United
States

WASHINGTON April 9.-The post
Office department has leased the old Cor
coran art gallery building at the corner
of Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue for the use of the international
postal congress, which is to assemble
here on May 5th. 1t is expected that the
congress will be in session six or eight
weeks. The entire building will be fit
ted and furnished expressly for the con-
gress.
The union embraces the whole world.
excepting the Chinese empire, Korea and
the Orange Free State. These latter
countries are expected to join the union
during this congress and will be repre-
sented by delegates. Each nation can
send as many delegates as 1t desires.
but will have but one vote.
The convention will be held with closed
doors, and the proceedings will be In
French, according to the usual custom.
The first topic of Importance to be con-
sidered will be that of transit rates oy
intermediary countries on mails re-
ceived from other countries. 1t is likely
that the result will be a general reduc-
tion of these rates, a circumstance which
would be disadvantageous to the United
States.
President Mckinley will entertain the
congress at the White House and num-
ber of excursions will be made. not only
to places of historical interest, but for
the purpose of studying the various fea-
lures of the postal system of this coun-
try and the various methods, devices.
etc.
The appropriation for the congress has
not yet been made. but the pending sun
dry civil bill contains or this purpose
s1o0, ,OO0 The usual cost of these ccnfer-
ences is said to be about $3.50, 900.
