CAVE IS WONDERFUL
Natural Gallery Is Rediscovered
After III Years.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. IA Won
derful natural gallery, discovered in
1892 on Gabriola island, in Nanaimo
harbor, by Malaspina, Spanish ex-
plorer, who visited Puget sound in that
year with Captains Valdez and CAL
iano, was rediscovered yesterday aft
ernoon by a party of pleasure seekers,
after all trace of it had been lost for
Ill years. A number of photographs
taken by the party make it certain
that the location tallies exactly with
the description given in the account
of Malaspina's voyages.
A picture, or representation, of NAL
aspina's gallery was recently repro
duced in British Columbia, causing
much speculation as to it's whereabouts.
Mayor Bates, of Nanaimo, produced an
ola island, which seems to make cer-
subject by indicating that Malaspina's S
discovery was in the neighborhood of
Nanaimo harbor.
Yesterday pleasure party, headed
by Harry Rogers, of this city, found
the gallery at the north end of Gabri-
ola island, which seems to make GER
tain that the long-lost phenomenon
has been rebound. Rogers photo
graphs show a magnificent work of
nature, the storms of centuries hav-
ing eaten into the soft sandstone, hol-
lowing out chamber over 800 feet
in length. The main gallery has a
floor tWenty-one feet wide and a roof,
formed by overhanging rock, which
extends several feet beyond the floor
ledge This overhanging roof has been
cut into curious crosses and all man
ner of peculiar shapes, including a fig
ure of an Indian reclining against the
wall. This figure was featured in the
drawings left by Malaspina.
Outside the entrance to the gallery
huge rocks rear their heads on either
side, like sentiments on guard. An ef-
fort will shortly be made to create pub
lie interest in this greatest of all nat
ural curiosities, with a view of estab-
fishing a permanent visiting place for
tourists and sightseePs.

THREE ROOMS OF
VATICAN DESTROYED
Fire Eats Up Priceless Inscrip.
tlons-Pope Directs Fight
Ing of Flames.

ROME, Nov. 1.-Fire broke out this
evening in that portion of the Vati-
can containing the hall of inscriptions,
where the pope gives his audiences and
which is adjacent to the famous Pin
acoteca, or gallery of pictures. Siren
uous efforts were made to control the
flames and the fremen of Rome were
called to lend their help. In three
hours the fire was under control. No
lives were lost. No idea of the damage
can yet be obtained. The pope came
to the scene and remained until the
arrangements to fight the fire were
completed.
The first intimation was had when
smoke was seen issuing from the
apartment Of M. Marie, which is locat-
ed above that of Father Ehrle, the
librarian, who lived over the library
itself M. Marie Is celebrated French
restorer Of ancient manuscripts and IL
Illuminated books; he Is at present en-
gagged in copying work and his first
reproductions have been selected for
part of the Vatican's exhibit at the
ST. Louis exposition. The famous
Bramante staircase leads to that part
Of the Vatican where the fire broke
out. The gendarmes broke in the
doors of M. Marie's apartment and
found him In heavy sleep. It Is sup
posed that he retired and forgot to
take proper precautions with his
kitchen fire, which probably blazed up
and ignited some nearby hangings.
Thus the fire started and it rapidly as
sumed such proportions that the gem
darmes who were the first on the
scene gave an immediate general
alarm.
The moment the pope arrived his
mind grasped the gravity Of the situa-
ton and he ordered that the firemen
Of Rome be called. When the fire
engines began working three rooms
were already entirely destroyed by the
flames, which were extending to the
other apartments. The pope withdrew
as soon as he saw that everything pos
sible was being done to fight the fire.
Information had been sent the Italian
authorities, who hurried to st. Peters.
They were courteously invited to enter
and did so. Therefore, for the first
time since the fall of the temporal
power of the Vatican, the mayor of
Rome, the prefect, police officials and
even Signor Ronchetti, the newly ap-
pointed minister of justice, entered the
tdLlcdI III tlelT OtIlCldi CopdClIleS. IHCy
gave orders directing the work of COM
batting D, flames and participated
personally in the fight.
The entire museum Of inscriptions,
the rooms of Father Ehrle, part of the
library and the printing houses were
entirely flooded with water. Many ar
ticles were saved, including some an
cient and very valuable arms which
were recently moved to the library
room from the Borgia apartment. Many
things that escaped the flames were
injured by water, especially the
precious private library of Pope Leo.

KILL POLICE CHIEF
Chicago Negroes Are Nearly
Lynched for a Murder.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The celebration
Of Halloween was responsible for the
killing of the chief of police of Morgan
Park and threatened, race war early
today. 1t was only after desperate
struggle between the police and an
armed mob of enraged whites that a
lynching was prevented.
A woman's Halloween prank started
the trouble, which ended in the killing
of George A. Airie, chief Of police of
Morgan Park, by Mack Wiley, a young
negro. Mrs. James Payne, who Is a
sister of Wiley, and three friends
started out for lark and while they
were overturning a lumber pile, it is
said, the woman was struck by Chief
Airie. The negroes went for rein
forcements and upon their return a
second meeting with Airie resulted In
fight, in which he was stabbed in the
neck by Wiley.
A crowd. Of half hundred men and
boys marched to the Morgan Park
jail, where four of the negroes had
been locked up. The prisoners were
rescued by the officers and taken to the
Englewood Jail, butsnot until they had
been severely cut and bruised with
sticks and stones.

: CH|NKS' DISTURBED
How the Russians Reoccupied
Mukden, Manchuria.

PEKIN, Nov. 1.-The Chinese gov
ernment is greatly disturbed at the
reoccupation of Mukden, the capital of
Manchuria, by Russian troops. The
foreign office is appealing to friendly
foreign legations for help and advice,
admitting it's own helplessness. The
Russians returned to Mukden last
week. According to advices received
by the Chinese government 1900 Rus
sian soldiers took possession of the
official buildings there, barricaded the
gates and evicted the Chinese Off
cials. There are between 10000 and
10000 Chinese troops in and about
Mukden, but the Chinese commanders
in Manchuria have been given imper-
ative orders in no wise to resist the
Russian government and to use every
effort to avert collisions.
The Russians employed a noted
brigand, who was accused Of many
crimes against the Chinese, as chief
of one of the irregular bands of po-
lice they are organizing in Manchu-
ria. The Chinese authorities repeated
! ly requested the surrender of this man
and the Russians recently consented to
give him up. Thereupon a Chinese
officer decapitated the brigand with
out giving him a trial. When this
became known the Russians demanded
the execution of the officer within five
days, giving as an alternative the
seizure of Mukden. The Chinese for
eign office was negotiating with Paul
Lessar, the Russian minister, on the
matter and offered to Danish the off,
Ger in question, pleading that he had
| exceeded his Instructions, and to re-
move the taotai, his superior, from
| Office. There was a misunderstand-
| ing as to the time limit set for the
negotiations; the Chinese thought ii
( expired yesterday. Before the nego-
| tiations were completed the news was
received here that Russia had fulfilled
