L00TING Is CHARGED
Against Missionaries in Connection
With the Chinese Ex-
pedition.

Paris. Nov. 27.-The AIatin and 9TH
er papers publish alleged extracts from
the confidential report of General VOy-
ION. which the government refused to
communicate to the chamber of depu-
ties last week during the discussion OF
the bill authorizing Il lean to reimburse
the treasury for the outlay i'm connec-
ton with the Chinese expedition.
According to these extracts French
missionaries looted the palace Of
Prince Ii. securing an important sum
in silver bars. They appear to have
been assisted by French soldiers and
sailors. whom they rewarded with
checks amounting to 10000 francs
which General Frey subsequently
forced the men to return to the mis-
si9naries.

As soon as the gravity of the acct
dent was realized calls for additional
firemen We're sent in. and the appa-
ratuS came flying 10 the scene from all
parts of the city. While some of the
firemen directed their efforts at the
fire which was burnig fiercely in the
center of the wreck, the greater num-
her of them seized axes and crowbarS
and began prying out the victims who
could be seen or whose faint cries were
audible. The department of public
works was notified of the horror and
Immediately sent all its available men
and horses to the scene.
In a comparatively short time all the
IanOrerS who could WORK to advantage
were feverishly throwing and pulling
the debris out into Brooklyn avenue.
where it was loaded into wagons and
carried Off. The floors and roof had
fallen at an angle and fotsned a sort of
huge cover, under which the fire
burned fiercely. Not until the firemen
had chopped through this did their
streams begin to have an apprecia bic
effect on the flames. The sufferings
Of those who were buried beneath were
later mutely testified TO by their
charred and hlackeaed bodies.
Engineer Riley was among the first

cape was little short of miraculous.
When the boiler let go he was knocked
90 the floor and a small testing boiler
was blown over his PROSTATE form in
such 4 way that one end rested on
some debris high above him. thereby
forming n shield that kept the falling
timbers. bricks and machinery from
crushing him. The escaping steam.

very slightly injured, and no one there

STORY IS RETOLD
Alleged Confession of Mrs. Bonine
Repeated by Wit
ness.

Washington, Nov. 27.-George T..
Gardner. witness in the BOnine
trial, yesterday testified that Mrs.
Lola Ida Bonine. accused of the muir
der Of James :. Ayres. had confessed
to him the day after the tragedy
that she was thoroughly aware of
the circumstances OF the shooting.
He stated that she had asked him
whether public confession would be
advisable and he had in reply urged
her to say nothing about it in the
hope that the suicide theory might
be retained. Other witnesses testi-
fled sthat Ayres had had but two
glasses of beer during the evening
and that he was perfectly sober when
he went to his room. Gardner. who,
with his family, occupied rooms un-
der that of Mrs. Bonine. in his tes-
timony brought out the fact that
Mrs. Bonine had made her confession
to him on the evening of May -. the
day of the tragedy. ''She stated to
me- he said. that she knew more
about the death of Ayres than had
been given to the public. ] think she
hesitated Il moment and either my
manner or something / said induced
her To go on, and she said She was
present when ii happened and told
me that she had come to me because
she wanted advice. She told me that
on the morning of Ayres' death he
came to her room and knocked on
her door and complained of being i'll
and asked If she could not do some-
thing for him; that when she got into
Ayres' room ne had assaulted her
and had a pistol i'm his hand and in
the scufTle which ensued he was
killed.
The witness stated that she said
nothing more than that when the
struggle followed the assault the
pistol was fired. The witness stated
that she did not tell him i'm whose
hands the pistol vas. but later cor
rected himself by saying that he be-
lieved she said the weapon was in
Ayres' hand.
..She also told me that Ayres was
under the influence of liquor at the
time of the shooting" said Mr.. Gard
