Boston, Jan. 29.-Eight persons
dead. three more probably fatally
burned and three seriously hurt in

In height at No. 6 to 10 Fleet street.
The fire was not seen until it was un-
der headway, 80 that sleeping inmates
on the upper floor we're cut OF.
Before the firemen got to the scene
two women and one man were seen
to throw themselves from windows of
the third floor to the street below.
After the firemen had succeeded in
subduing the flames they began a
search of the far rooms and found
eight bodies. The firemen and police
officers labored hard in giving the un-
,fortunates emergency treatment, but
their efforts were In vain, for all had
inhaled flame and smoke and their
bodies in most cases were blistered
by the fierce heat which they had en-
countered. ~

THE TREATY SIGNED
..cEssloN OF nAnleH WEST INDIES
TO UNITED STATES AN Ac-
coMPLisHED FACT.

Stated In unoffeial Circles That the
Price Paid Denmark ls in the Neigh
borhoed Of Five Million Dollars.
uLited States to Have a Free Hand
In Dealing with the Future Policy
Of The islands
Washington, Jan. 25.-The treaty or
cession of the Danish West India ISL
ands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at. the state de-
partment during the day by Secretary
Hay and Constantine Brun. the Danish
minister. The treaty will be submit
ted to the senate for ratification imme-
diately.
Following the invariable rule in
such cases the state department Off
cials decline to make public any of the
details Of the treaty, SO that it is not
possible to state positively what price
is to be paid, though this is believed
to be in the neighborhood of s5.ooO,-
900. It is also, known that Denmark
has abandoned the position she was in
clined to occupy toward the conserva.
tion of political rights of the inhab-
itants of the island and leaves the
United States free hand to deal with
them without pledge of American citi.
zenship or of free trade privileges.
So 1t is assumed that the status Of the
Danish West Indian l.. ands, politically
and commercially, should the treaty
be ratified, will be similar to that Of
Porto Rico. Having gained these
points lin the negotiations the state
department officials believe the
streaty ts certain to receive the approx
|;al bf the United States senate.

Havana, Jan. 25.-In the hearing of

made an investigation of the Cuban
postal department, during which he
had found irregularities in the audi
tors Office, showing double credits
amounting to $4,000. His examine
tion of the books of c. F. w. Nicely, he
said. disclosed the probable embezzle-
ment, of $4,000 during the months of
January, February and March of 1900,
and total embezzIement of about
100000 since July, 1899. He said this
estimate Of defalcation was made from
the report of the amount paid in by
Cuban postmasters and the amount
Nicely had deposited to the credit Of

The explosion occurred at the noon
hour and was what is known as q
dust explosion. The miners had just
fred their usual neon shots, one Of
which proved to be a fizzle. The
burning powder ignited the gas and
the explosion followed. Smoke and
debris were blown out Of the shaft 200
feet high. Part 6f the top works were
torn away and fans and cages were
partially wrecked. This made the
work of rescue very slow and II, was
3 o'clock before volunteer parties
dared to venture into the east entry
where the explosion occurred. When
they fought their way in a hofrible
sight greeted them. The dend-n6d In
jured were terribly burned and mutt
lated. some Of them almost beyond
recognition. Fire, which it was at
drst feared would prove destructive
totthe entire mine, had broken out and
this added terror to the spectacle. The
flames were finally controlled and
after several of the rescue party had
succumbed to the fumes all the dead
were found and carried to the top of
the shaft. At the time of the explo-
sion more than 100, men were in the
mines, but all these except the men in
the east entry escaped with only
slight injury. The total property
damage will be about SIC, ,OO0.. It was
nearly 6 o'clock when the last of the
dead was taken out and scenes OF
anguish among the families Of the
men were most pitiful. Nearly ell of
the men were married and leave fam

RAILWAY MERGER CASE.
Supreme Court Takes Under Advise
ment Douglas Petition.

ment Douglas Petition. ,.,
Washington, Jan. 28.-The supreme
court heard arguments on the question
OF Jurisdiction in the case which Attor-
ney General Douglas of Minnesota, as
sisted by M. D. Mum Of st. Paul, are
attempting to bring against the North.
ern Securities company. It will con.
slider the matter for several weeks be-
fore determining whether to permit
the bill to be fled. The railroads were
represented by ex-Attorney General
John w. Griggs of New Jersey and w.
B. Guthrie of New York.
General Douglas argued at some
length, the points brought out being
similar to those in his brief filed with
the court some days ago when he made
his first request for permission to file
an original suit In this court.
w. D. Guthrie, for the Northern Se-
curities company, filed brief with the
court outlining that company's posi-
tion. He contended that the bill of
complaint proposed to be filed on be-
half of the state of Minnesota does not
present a controversy of a civil and
judicial nature between a state and a
citizen of another state justiflable in
this court, and that no state can call
upon this court to enforce its penal or
police laws in other states. Hence this
court is without Jurisdiction.

stifed competition, which is the only
protection in this state against rail-
roads. The governor declares that the
people should prepare to enforce their
