TEN DIE IN FLAMES.
FIRE DESTROYS CHICAGO SANTA
 RUM FOR oiPsoMANlAcs.

DeHrium Tremens Patients Could Not
 Re Rescued-About Thirty Hurt,
 Some by Jumping From Windows.
 An Alderman Among the Victims.
 Nine men and one woman were killed and about thirty persons were injured In a fire which on Monday destroyed the sanitarium conducted by the St. Luke society at Wabash avenue and Twenty-first street, Chicago.
 By far the greater portion of the pa tients received in the institution were those seeking a cure from the drink habit and those who were addicted to the use of drugs When the fire broke out, there was on the fifth floor a num- Der of patients suffering from delirium tremens and some who were deranged by drugs. Several of these were strap ped to their beds, and it was found i'm possible to save them, so rapidly did the flames spread through the building.
 The list as far as known at present, although it is possible that the number of dead will be increased later, shows the dead to be: s. J. Newell, Carl A. Carlson, Joseph Harrington, Samuel Dalzell, Dr. J. T. Stanton, George A. Ribbeck of Hillsdale, Mich; William Kent, alderman of the Fourth ward, Chicago; John B. Knapman, Mrs. M. Baumann and B. H. Boyd, seventy eight years old and a member of the medical stan of the institution.
 The burned building had a front of forty feet on Wabash avenue and ex- tended back seventy feet to an alley. It was of brick, five stories high and was valued at $1O0.O00. It was insured for half that amount.
 Eight arrests have been made in con- nection with the fire. The eight men arrested include O. E. Miller. president of the St. Luke society. Miller is said to have lived in Denver at one time, where he was in the banking business. A search of the records of the health department failed to discover any rec ord showing that the hospital had been licensed according to the law.

1s15-Napoleon defeated Butcher at Ligny, and the allies defeated Ney at Quatre Bras, both preparatory to Waterloo. The defeat of Butcher at Ligny led to the battle on the field of Waterloo. Butcher retreated from Ligny to Wa terloo. Ney's battle at Quatre Bras detained Wellington's troops and pre- vented the junction of the Prussians and English. Wellington retired to Waterloo to unite with Butcher. The fate of Napoleon was settled by these preliminaries, for his salvation lay in keeping the allies divided. 1866-Prussia set her armies in motion, and the single campaign war with Austria began.

NEGOTIATIONS ON FOOT.
Secret Attempt Being Made to Enc
 the Coal Strike.

the Coal Strike.
 New York, June. 11.-Although nei- ther John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America. nor the coal presidents who are in direct charge of the coal strike seem to be aware of any move in the direction of a settlement of the strike and agree in denying that any such move is being made, information from sources that cannot be disregarded indicates that negotiations are on foot looking toward confident that peace is unlikely that they made public last night their core spOndence with MT. Mitchell.
 It is said that both financial and po- litical interests of the most important character are at work, with the termi- nation of the strike in view, and that satisfactory progress is being made. The National Civic federation has noth- ing to do with these proceedings. So far as it was possible to learn last night they are being conducted by the interests which hold controlling quanti- ties of the stocks of the coal carrying railroads. What is being done is being guarded with the utmost care, but it is said that the result, if favorable, will be made manifest within the next week.
 Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, met three of the operators in the office of Robert Oly- phant, president of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, yesterday afternoon. Besides MT. Olyphant there were pres ent George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading, and E. B. Thomas, chairman of the executive committee of the Erie railroad.
