APPEALS TO CLARA BARTON.

Macedonians.

Red Cross Aid Sought for distressed
Macedonians.
Observation-Disclosures plea
for aid in her distress was placed
before Miss Clara Barton, the head OF
the American Association of the Red
Cross. Constantine Stephanove, the
special Macedonian delegate, told
Miss Barton Of the urgency of the
situation, and begged her to take i'm
mediate action to insure the forward
ing of Red Cross relief to Macedonia.
Miss Barton asked for detailed in.
formation as to the character and
scope Of the aid needed, and said:
'"g'he Red Cross feels that it would
be humane and noble thing for the
American people to undertake to re-
lieve the suffering in Macedonia.
Such movement would be in keep.
ing with American traditions in ali
similar emergencies. The situation,
in view of the approach Of winter
would seem to require systematic
substantial and immediate effort on
the part of the people generally. Dip.
lomaticaIly, the problem would be an
extremely delicate one, and would re.
quire discretion and experience for
it's successful solution

EMTERs PROTEST.
Attorney Barrett surprised at Being
Disbarred.

NGTON.--Harrison Bar
rett, whose disbarment from practice
before the Postoff1ce department for
alleged wrongful acts, disclosed by
the general postal investigation, was
announced last week, has written a
letter to the postmaster general un-
der date of Baltimore, October 81,
in which he expresses surprise in
view Of the fact that he has been
furnished no specification of charges
and has been given no hearing. The
letter says the writer invited search
ing investigation of all his acts and
was assured hearing and an oppor-
tunity to meet any accusations
against him. He says he furnished
the inspectors all information asked
of him, though much Of it's was irrel-
evant, Notwithstanding he was salts
fed they were seeking his indictment.
The letter adds:
"My right to practice my profes-
sion is one of which ought not and
cannot properly be divested without a
full and impartial hearing according
to law. The government has pre-
ferrcd its charges against me in the
courts and | am ready and anxious
to meet them; indeed, | am glad of
the opportunity to put this matter in
it's true light before a court and to
show that the allegation that 1 en-
tered into an unlawful conspiracy
with General Tyner, a man who has
lived nearly eighty years respected
and Lonored among men, and presid-
ed over the department now in your
charge, is as absurd as it is false"
Secretary Hitchcock, who has been
i'll with cold, was at his desk Tues
day for the first time since the mid
die of last week His first act was to
order the suspension of Asa B.
Thompson, receiver of public moneys
at the land office at La Grande, Ore,
who was indicted yesterday on the
charge of bribery. And there will
be Others" he said, whenever sim
liar circumstances are discovered in
connection with them" He declined
TO say more concerning the reported
frauds in connection with the public
lands than that they are receiving
careful attention and have been since
January last, when the secretary
said the investigation was begun. He
also said that proceedings have been
started against Miss Ware, who is a
commissioner of deeds and is charged
with issuing certificates in 800 cases
of fraudulent land entries.

ALASKAN AWARDS.
THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS
HAVE NOT MUCH TO SAY.
WILL NOT DISCUSS THE MATTER
Vancouver Recorded How He Reached
Point and Commission Made Deduc,
tion-United States Gets TWO Isl.
ands by ne Agreement.

NEW YORK.-On account of his
official connection with the Alaskan
tribunal Senator Lodge of Massachu.
setts declined to discuss the award of
the tribunal on his arrival here by the
steamer Cedric.
Senator Lodge said the members Of
the tribunal had been very hand
somely treated in London, but as one
Of the arbitrators he could not even
venture to say that he was satisfied
with the award and declined to say
anything about the attitude of the
Canadian commissioners in refusing
to sign the award.
Joseph Pope, representative of the
Canadian government, and one of the
assistant secretaries of the tribunal,
who also was on Cedric, said that the
award was of course disappointment
from the Canadian point of view, but
offered no further comment, appear
ing anxious, however, to ascertain hcw
the decision had been received in
Canada.
Former Senator Turner of Washing
ton, another American member of the
tribunal was not willing to discuss
how the agreement came to be
reached, but It was admitted that the
decision giving two islands in the
Portland canal to the United States
was based on Valcouver's narrative
Of his voyage of exploration. The
question hinged on whether he had
called the water to the south of the
island the channel or whether he had
gone to the north of them. 1t was
found that he recorded having gone
from the entrance to a point of land
above the islands in a certain time
To do this it was figured that he en-.
tered the broad channel, followed it
up, and turned in between the -four
islands.
This led the commissioners to de.
eide that the two islands lying near
the mouth of the canal and opposite
Port Gimpson belonged to the United
States. Mr.. Turner, while he was not
willing to discuss in detail the sub
ject, admitted that this was true.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS MacRae, at a
meeting of the stockholders of the
White Pass & Yukon railroad, alluded
to the Alaska boundary award. He
said that while he regretted the decis-
ion which placed twenty miles of their
railroad under the Jurisdiction of the
American flag, it was in reality more
matter of sentiment than business.
The reciprocal bounding arrange
ments between Canada and the United
States would continue. Both coun-
tries would suffer equally by a dis
turbance of the arrangements, and it
was more in harmony with the enlight-
ened spirit of civilization to extend
than to curtail them.

DIED IN FLAMES
TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST I'M A

Halloween Parties in Progress When
the Disaster occurs-Escape from
Fire Escapes Cut Off by Jam to Get
to Them.

NEW YORK-Twenty-on men.
three women and a ten-month-old
babe were burned to death or suffo-
Gated in a fire that started in the
House of All Nations, a tenement
house at 426 Eleventh avenue, which
the police and coroner believe to be
of incendiary origin. Some peculiar
features of the disaster, in addition
to the startling loss of life, are that
the fire was practically extinguished
in twenty, minutes; that the police
could learn of but one person being
injured, other than those who lost
their lives, and that the property loss
was onlv $1,000.
The deal are mostly Italians.
The only person injured, so far as
can be learned, is Mary Jane Quinn,
who was burned about the face and
hands and severely bruised by leap
ing from a second lloor fire escape to
the ground.
In several apartments of the tene-
ment Halloween parties were in prog
ress, and the guests at these added
greatly to the number of persons in
the house and made the crush and
jam to escape more than it ordinarily
would have been. Although plenti-
fully provided with fire escapes, front
and rear, escape was cut off q few
minutes after the fire started by the
bodies of the dead becoming wedged
in the openings to the ladders. The
fire had been buring some minutes
before it was discovered. 1t had
started in the basement and, rushing
upward, had attacked the stairway
leading to the apartments. In short
space of time the flames had so en-
veloped the stairway that egress from
the building by it was impossible.
The house from the third floor to the
fifth floor WAS destroyed.
At the windows, front and rear,
bodies of men and women were jam
med, showing that a desperate strug
gle to get free hac resulted in the
choking of these exits to the fire es-
capes and had been the cause of a
number of inmates being suffocated
Life nets played a prominent part
in the work of rescue The firemen
dropped men and women, dead and
alive. from one floor to another, and,
finally, the men standing on the lad
ders on, the first floor let them fall
into the nets held by policemen and
irement in the street.

he would pay the tax. He tried to
