TEN LIVES LOST IN
 BURNING THEATRE
ALL WERE CONNECTED WITH THE THEATRE AS PERFORMERS SLEPT IN THIRD STORY OF THE BUlLDlNo.-

Ironwood, Mich, November 6.-Ten lives were lost and four buildings destroyed by fire which started in the Klondike Theatre at Hurley, Wis, today The dead:
 c. w. Cleveland, H. P. Clifford, Thomas Leclaire. George Benert, H.. B. Emory, Timothy Ryan, F. L. Gay. St. Louis; Thomas ozanne. Harry Raymond. Clara Bonne
 Seriously injured:
 Jennie Bender, Annie Scott. Laura Rus sell, Billy" Mclaughlin.
 The Klondike was a vaudeville theatre and all of the dead and injured were con nected with the theatre as performers. Most of them lived at Hurley, and Thom- as Leclaire was brother of the proprie- tor of the theatre.
 The fire started on the stage and in few minutes the entire structure was a mass of flames. The third story was used as sleeping quarters and the fire spread so rapidly as to cut off the es~ cape of the occupants.
 The charred remains of six of the vic- tims have been recovered, and search is being made for the others.
 The Klondike Theatre burned once be- fore in July, 1887. when eleven women lost thelr lives.

BRIGANDS CARE
 FOR MISS STONE
FIRES ARE LIGHTED IN THE CAV ERNS TO KEEP HER WARM-THE BRIGANDs ARE PATIENTLY WAITING FOR RANSOM.

Sofia, Bulgaria, November 6.-The brig ands having Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary and her companion. Mime. Tsilke in their custody were in Bull garian territory near the Turkish from tier last week according to authoritative intelligence. The captives were lodged in caves and fires were lighted to protect them from the severe cold. Since then the brigands and the women have gone to some place unknown.
 The fact that violent measures such as mutilation to extort ransom was not taken indicates chat the brigands are un- der the impression that the longer they wait better will be terms available This is regarded as partly due to the publicity given to the subscriptions towards the ransom and it is increasing the difficulty experienced by Consul General Dickinson in his efforts to reduce the brigands de- mands

Washington. November 6.-(SpeciaD- The Maryland election promises to drag on until the meeting of the legislature and end no one knows how.
 The Democrats have majority of five on joint ballot and control the Senate. but the Republicans seem to have con- trol of the house. Republican defeated members are trumping up charges of fraud in order to institute contests and throw out a sufficient number of Demo- crats to offset the Democratic majority on joint ballot.
 There is a possibility that the official count of the house will result more ia vorably to the Democrats as there are several very close races
 In Senator German district the Dem ocrats have the best political leader in the United States and 1t is safe to say 1t will be difficult to defeat him in par lIamentary struggle such as seems immi nent in Maryland.

Republican Majority Unprecedented In an of Year"-Mckinley's Death.

Columbus. Ohio, November 6.-With al- most complete returns In tonight, 1t Is noted that the Republican plurality beats all records in what has become known as the quadrennial of year." and with two exceptions. the records of other years.

His Friends Send Paper Horses to Garry His Soul to
 Heaven RELATIVES HAMPER DOCTORS
  Cause of Death Was Liberation of the stomach-He Was Considered Friend of Russia-Wash. 2. ington Is Cheerful. s

Peldn, November 7.--Li Hung Chang is dead. He died at Il o'clock this mornins.
 At g o'clock yesterday evening, while Earl u was still alive, the court yard of the Yamen was filled with life-size pa- per horses and chairs. with coolie bearers which his friends sent in accordance with Chinese customs to be buried when he died in order to carry his soul to heaven.
 The Chinese authorities are somewhat uneasy concerning the effect his death will have on the popuiace; and to guard stration, the Chinese generals have dis persed their troops about the city in such way as to command the situation. Trouble. however, is extremely improb- able.
 Statement of PhysIcians.
 Robert Coltman, an American who was one of the physicians attending Earl Ii. told the correspondent of the Associated Press today that when he was called to act with Dr. Velde of the German lega- tion, November 1. he found the patient very weak from severe hemorrhage, due to ulceration of the stomach.
 ''The hemorrhage was readily con trolled," said Dr. Coltman, but owing to the underlying condition of chronic gas tritis with persistent nausea only the mildest liquid food could be digested. Yesterday he was cheerful and without pain; but at 12 o'clock this morning (No- yember 8 he became unconscious and was no longer able to get rid of the collection of mucous which he had been freely expectorating.
 Earl Lis persistent refusals to refrain from attending to government business aggravated his malady while the refusal of the family to permit certain measures customary in western medical practice for relieving the stomach. contributed to bring his end near.
 At midnight last night II Hung Chang rallied slightly. His family had in- stalled native doctors in charge of the patient. the regular physicians having re- fused to attend him unless the Chinese doctors were dismissed.
 Washington is Cheerful.
 Washington. November s-The death of u Hung Chang. will not, 1t Is believed here. effect the execution of the under takings imposed upon China in the protocol.
 A change in the Manchurian situation is expected and the United States has a very considerable interest in the out come of that matter. u Hung Chang is regarded here as strongly pro-Russian and it 1t is possible that ---s death and the coming into power in China as the di- rector of foreign affairs of another prince less friendly to Russia might hasten the day when Russia might relax her hold upon Manchuria and allow the country to be opened up to the commerce of the world

HUMAN BODIES IN CRATES. Eight cadavers Marked as Second
 hand Laundry Machinery.

Chicago, November 6.-Eight human bodies were taken this evening from two crates at the freight depot of the Chica- go, Burlington and Quincy railroad They were consigned to R. J. Jones of Brishear Mo-. and marked as second hand laundry machinery. The bodies were purchased during the day from the Harvey Medical College of this city and were being shipped to Missouri for the purpose of dissection. The police are looking for Jones, but so far have been unable to locate him. The only charge that can be brought against him is the shipping of bodies in a manner con- trary to law
 Police officials say the fact discloses a careful plan in carrying on the cadaver traffic. Dr. Francis M. Schoenleber of No. 147 Eugenie street is under arrest and Dr. Francis Dickinson, president of the Harvey Medical College has been called on to explain her connection with the affair.
