 Captain McCluskey of the Detective Blu reau, who hurried every available man of his staff to the fire, was appealed to to protect the funds of the bank, and was told that they had been put into the vault the doors of which were supposed to be unlocked. When the captain and his men went in, however, they found about ten thousand dollars scattered in confusion over the counters and floors. This was hastily thrown into the vault and the door locked
 President Encher of the bank arrived in a few minutes after the starting of the fire and was nearly hysterical. By half past two, however, the directors of the bank had met and posted a sign in the window stating that the bank would do business tomorrow morning.

Carried Terrible Destruction

The second explosion carried destruction in every direction. That 1t did not cause a wholesale loss of life was due to the fact that there was almost ten minutes time in which to escape after the first cry of fre-a cry that was a warning to the people who knew the character of the chemicals in the burning, and fully five minutes elapsed before the first minor ex- plosion, which warned every one within hearing.
 Just after the outbreak of the fire from the windows a train stopped at Warren street station of the Ninth avenue elevated railroad. It passed on in time to escape the explosion. The station master fled acrtSs the structure, carrying with him money and tickets, while two women who had stopped on the platform to watch the fire. flight ened by the first explosion, fled down the track, assisted by the station master, who took them to the Barclay street station in safety. The big explosion completely car ried away the station and the masses as masonry that fell with 1t broke away the flooring and almost demolished the struc- ture just below the building
 Immense masses of masonry, pieces of cornice great beam window castings and an indescribable mass of wreckage of every description tumbled into the, street in front of the building all at once The fierce of the explosion below had thrown the firemen back across the street so that they were not caught, but their es- cape from the rain of debris across the street was miraculous.
 The wreckage was thrown through the windows of the building occupied by the Irving National Bank on the east corner of the streets. The offices of the Irving Bank and Butler Bros brokers, were wrecked

COUNT CASSINI
 AT WASHINGTON
Russian Ambassador Returns to
 His Post
DISCUSSES CHINESE CRISIS
Says His Government Entertains Con ciliatory Disposition Towards Ce-
 lestials-French Plan Said to
 Have Been Agreed Upon

London October 29.-The Chinese plenipo- tentiaries opened negotiations, says the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Ex- press, by proposing that China should pay an indemnity of f4O,OooOO0 in sixty install- ments, agreeing that the Ii Kin and the customs service should be under foreign control until the obligation should be dis charged.
 They also agreed that Prince Tuan should be imprisoned for life; that Tien Tsin should be treated as international, and other places should be opened to for- eign trade.
 China shall abstain from purchasing war material abroad. In order to raise the in- demnity she proposes to double the imperial duties.
 Washington, October g. = The Russian ambassador has returned to Washington after an absence of several months. When seen today Count Cassini said he ob- served at St. Petersburg that the goverr- ment was animated by a most reasonable, conciliatory and moderate disposition con- corning China There was desire 10 avoid making the crisis the occasion for large projects. In particular he noted' both at St. Ptersburg and throughout Eu- rope, that there was very general teei- ing as to the identity of the policy between the United States and Russia, their posi- tions being alike many points. The death of Count Muravief, tate Minister of Foreign Affairs, had removed an official who had been a steadfast admirer of the United States. And yet Count Cassini said that Count Lamsdorf, the new minister, entertains that same sentiment of friend ship and admiration for the United States.
 Referring to Russias action in the Chi nese trouble, Count Cassini said it had been considered essential at the outset that a ruling should be given to China. ton as a result of the uprising, and the Mapchu dynasty seemed weak and in- capable.
 When asked as to Russia's purpose in Manchuria the ambassador said Russia s great railroad interests leading down to Port Arthur would have to be protected. It was in protecting these interests that Russia had been attacked by the Chinese, and it was only natural and necessary that Russia should resist these attacks. The ambassador also said it was quite natural that Russia should feel deep interest in Manchuria, as 1t bordered on Russia ter Tdtory much as Canada bordered the United States, so that anything affecting Manchuria came home to Russia far more than it did to countries far removed from that part of the world.

An Ocean of LIquId Air.

Sir John Murray. the well-known
naturalist, in recent address, drew a
vivid picture of the time, in the re-
mote future, when temperatures as low
as those which Professor Dewar pro-
duces in his experiments at the Royal
Institution will prevail all over the
earth. The atmosphere and the oceans
will then have disappeared within the
rocky crust of the globe, their elements
having entered into new combinations.
In other words. to use Sir John Muir
rays expression, "the waters of the
ocean will have become solid rock"
But over their surface will roll the
waters OF a new and most wonderful
sea, IAN ocean of liquid air about 40
feet in depth" At that time, OF course,
life as we know it will have vanished
from the earth.

SULTAN REMAINS SILENT.
Persists in Sending Ahmed Pasha to
Buy n Cruiser,

Constantinople, Monday, April 30
There are no fresh developments re-
garding the American indemnity ques-
ton. If within week the porte does
not answer the United States lega-
tons note of April "a, it is probable
that Lloyd c. Griscom, the American
charge d'affaires, will renew his de-
mand. The project of sending Ahmed
Pasha to the United States to nego-
tiate for the purchase of a cruiser is
persisted in, although the United
States government continues deter
mined not to consent to the amalga-
nation of the proposed purchase with
the indemnity question. The repre-
sentative of the Associated Press is
assured that Ahmed Pasha will start
for the United States tomorrow Mon
day.. The statement that the indem-
nifty question was discussed at the
audience had with the sultan by Mr..
Griscom April 20 is incorrect. The
matter was not discussed.

HASTE OVER PORTO RICO.
Conferees Committee Does Some
Eleventh Hour Work.
TO GIVE PRESIDENT TIME.
Valuable Franchises Said to he Already
In the Hands of CapitaIists-Mort-
cages May lie Purchased by u
Syndicate.

Washington, d. c.. May IA final
effort at rapid legislation for Porto
Rico was begun at 1890 o'clock when
the house and senate conferees met
They took up the resolution to allow
military officers to act as government
officials until August 1, 1900, and thus
enable the president to avoid haste in
establishing the civil government.
In connection with the resolution
the amendments restricting the grant
ing of franchises were taken up. over
this there has been wide difference
of opinion, the house conferees being
in favor of them and the senate con-
ferees conservative" The fight over
Porto Rico franchises has delayed the
resolution until the last moment.
Supporters of the amendments declare
that without the proposed safeguards
the way is clear for "promiscuous loot
Of Porto Rico in regard to the most
valuable of property franchises 1t is
demanded that the approval of the
president be required for each grant
and such restriction as will prevent
any corporation from owning more
real estate than Is demanded for it's
business.
A company is said to be ready to
buy up all the Porto Rican mortgages,
and thus become virtually the sole
landlord of the island. 1t is pointed
out by supporters of the amendments
which have passed the house that
Porto Rico is utterly without repre-
sentation in congress, having only a
commissioner instead of a delegate,
and thus is at an extra disadvantage
in regard to relief from abuses in
franchise legislation.
The house conferees are Cooper OF
Wisconsin, Cannon of Illinois, and
Jones of Virginia; senate conferees,
Foraker of Ohio, Perkins of Califor-
MIA and Cockerill of Missouri.
