DIE In AN EXPLOSION.
MANY KILLED IN CHICAGO BY
BURSTING BOILER.
Twelve Dead and Over a Score In
jured, Some Fatally Disaster Occurs
in Big Laundry, and Completely
Wrecks the Entire Building.

The boiler in the Doremus laundry, at
soS West Madison street, Chicago, ex-
ploded Monday morning, killing twelve
persons, injuriHg thirty more, and wreck
ing the entire block of buildings on the
south side of Madison street, from Loom
is street TO Throop. With the exception
Of the barracks of the Volunteers OF
America, in the middle Of the block, next
to the laundry, the structures were one
ssory high. with thin partitions between
the stores, aud with back doors opening
into an ais,s; -. re barracks is two stories
high. Candy stores, secondhand stores,
Chinese laundries, feed stores, tailor
shops, rifle gallery, bicycle store, and
shoe store occupied the rest of the
block. Back of them ia the southwest
corner Of the building was the boiler.
The proprietors of these places were
getting ready for the days business.
Thirty-six of the sixty girls employed in
the laundry had passed the automatic
timekeeper. The boiler was holding al
most the full pressure of steam and the
girls in the place were sorting out the
linen for the washing. A deafening roar
rang through the building. The whole
place shook as if with fright, and then
came the crunehing of timbers and the
SCATTERING of glass. Most OF the girls
had not time TO move an inch. Tons of
debris crashed in upon them, and the
noise of the wrecking drowned out the 4
shrieks for help. Then came the his, of
escaping steam. with its terrible n enace
of scalding TO those who lay helpless be-
meath the twisted iron and broken beams.
The light wood caught fire. The big
room, which had fallen like house of
cards, now was lighted Up by slender
threads of fame which crept through the
wreckage and came Ciosei to the MANNED
bodies,
Thousands of men and women rushed
to the assistance of the victims. The po-
lice and fire departments and various
hospital corps were soon ON the scene.
For two blocks up and down Madison
r.reet buildings We're shattered by the
force of the explosion. Nearly every win
dow in these two blocks was broken and
the list of persons cut by flying glass will
amount to fifty or more. Persons who
were in bed in the near vicinity were
hurled from their beds by the force. Men
In neighboring stores were dashed TO the
floors and covered with the shower of
glass. Passengers in street cars were
thrown violently from their seats. The
terrible roar of the mammoth boiler as it
went flying skyward and the crashing of
the walls intermingled with the shrieks
of the injured and dying.

AMERICA HOLDS ALOoF.
Will Make No Alliance with England
Against Russia.


According to a Washington correspond
emit the United States Government has
not reached an agreement with England
for the exclusion of Russia from Man
ehuria, and will not suggest or entertain
a proposition for such compact with
any nation. 1t is adhering consistently
to the policy adopted at the commence
ent of the uprising to preserve the in
tegrity of the Chinese empire and the
approvals given by the European natia :
and Japan to the notes issued by Sc 70
tary Hay convince the administration Of
the sincerity with which the advances
have been received. Within the las
month it was reported that the Chinese
Government was considering individual
settlements with the nations represented
at Pekin. The United States immediate
" protested, and addressed instructions
to our ambassadors and ministers in Eu-
rope and Japan explaining the appre-
tension entertained concerning the in
furious results that would follow private
Or individual negotiations and soliciting
further expression of the policy that
would be pursued by the respective gov
srnments in the matter of territorial con-
SESSIONS. The Chinese minister, Mr..
WI, was also advised, and he notified
his Government that the United States
would protest against any settlements
other than those reached through joint
negotiations at pekin. Russia has given
assurances that the occupation of Man
shuria is temporary and solely for the
purpose of restoring peace and order in
the province.
The Tinted States cannot look with
equanmity upon the separation of Man
.huria from the Chinese empire, contin-
IS the correspondent. Should it be
.eded to Russia as indemnity, other ma
lions that participated in the relief of
Pekin will demand territory, and the par
.ition of the empire would be carried to
The extent of practically obliterating it
from the map.
