ESCAPED IN NIGHT CLOTHES.
Smallpox Hospital at Riddeford, Me.
Destroyed BY Fire.

Biddeford, Me-, Jan. 26.-By the
burning of the smallpox hospital Sun
day SO men, women and children pa
tients were forced to escape in their
night clothes. The mercury was sew
eral degrees below zero and all suf-
fered terribly from exposure. One
man is expected to die.
When the fire was discovered some
of the patients seized mattresses and
dragged them out on the snow far
enough away from the building to be
out of danger from the fire and hud-
died together upon them. Notwith-
standing the dread of the disease, fire.
men and police went at the building
with will, but the hospital was burn
ed to the ground. Both policemen and
firemen gave up their outer garments
to clothe the patients, who eventually
were cared for in houses offered by
the owners as temporary hospitals.

THE suBoNlc PLAGUE.
Money Flowing into MazatIan to Be.
Used in Combating Disease.

Mexico City, Jan. 26.-The charity
commission at Mazatlan has received
up to date $4,000 for use in com
batting the plague. Money is still
pouring in from all parts of the coun-
try.
The official bulletin from MazatIan
reports four deaths and four new cases
for Wednesday last and for Thursday
reports five deaths and two new cases.
The total number of cases in the hos
pital was Al, five Of which were seri-
GUS. At the pavillions are housed $50
persons, none of whom are sick.
DR.. j. H. Grimes, the bubonic plague
expert, who offered his services to the
government, has been notified to hold
himself in readiness to proceed to the
stricken city.
Culiacan. Sinaloa, Jan. 26-Some Of
the wealthy families Of this city have
left and others are preparing to leave
in a short time on account of a fear
that the bubonic plague may reach
this place. False rumors are frequent
~ circulated regarding the appearance
OF the plague at places near Culiacan
and these serve to keep up the anxiety
of the people. The state government.
assisted by the federal government, is
doing everything possible to confine
the plague to Mazatlan, and the Off
Gals here feel confident that there is
no danger of the disease reaching this
place.
The authorities are making a sys-
tematic war on rats. Thousands OF
them have been killed and the car
casses buried in the cemetery.
Guaymas, Mex, Jan. 26.-As a san
ity measure the government has is
sued an order that fishermen must
clean and decapitate their fish at sea.
A heavy penalty is prescribed for
cleaning fish and leaving the refuse
on the shore. or bringing undressed
fish into the market.

RUFFLES ON THE DRUM.
They Were Not Sewed on as tito
Young Woman Probably
Supposed.

A young woman visited the battic-
ship Illinois just after Prince Henry
had been received on board with the
ceremonies due to a person of his
station in life. These were all de-
scribed to her. says the Argona ut,
before she began her tour of int
spection.
Among other interesting things
she was told that on this occasion,
as at all reviews before a monarch
or the president, one of the marks IF
respect had been the ruf1es on tie
drum. When she came to the ships
band, which was drawn up on tie
quarterback, she studied it with ia
terest for some moments. Then she
turned to the officer who was escoI t.
ing her, and said:
SIS that the drum they used WHEN
Prince Henry came on board?"
YES" answered the officer Then
observing that she seemed puzzled
about something, the officer asked her
what it was.
''Why," she answered, 81 don't see
the ruffies that you said were put en-
the drum in honor of the prince"
1t was little hard for her escort
to explain that the ''ruffies" he had
referred to are not the kind that
adOrn dress, but a low, rolling,
vibrating beat.

THE Alaska DISPUTE.
The Anglo-American Treaty Has
Been Signed.
Regret Is Expressed That No Pro-
vision Is Made For Appointment
of An Umpire in Event the
Commission Dsacrees.

London, Jan. 26.-The signatures Of
the Anglo-American treaty to settle
the Alaska dispute at Washington Sat
urday has given great satisfaction to
the English press on the ground that
it gives at critical moment in the
venezuelan trouble an undoubted proof
OF the uninterrupted friendliness exist
ing between Great Britain and the
United States. This is the point
which is elaborated in all the edito-
rails on the subject almost to the ex-
clusion of discussion of the intrinsic
merits of the arrangement concluded.
Little doubt is entertained here that
the United States senate win accept
the treaty and that the commission
will ultimately meet in London. but re-
gret is expressed that no provision is
made for the appointment for an UNI
pire because in the event of the COM
mission being equally divided in opin-
ion, it is said, the controversy will be
very little nearer a settlement. One
paper thinks that in this event the
dispute would be referred to The
Hague tribunal. 1t is hoped, however,
that the publication of the text Of the
treaty may show a more favorable
prospect of the commission arriving
at a compromise, thus settling long
standing dispute of which, it is admit1
ted, a settlement is imperative If in
ternational friction is to be avoided.
The Times rejoices at the constitu,
ton Of the proposed commission
which, it says, implies high degree
of confidence on each side in tho
equity and friendship of the other side.
The same commission with an odd
man added becomes virtually an arbi1
tration court. Though arbitration is a
very good thing in its way, continues
the Times, it is not nearly so good as
direct negotiation, if only because it
does not imply so much mutual conf
dence and good will. Should it unfor,
tunately happen that the commission
be unable to arrive at a decision no
harm will have been done to either
party. We shall only obtain a strik-
ing evidence of the exceeding complex
Ity of the question and can then resort
to arbitration, but we fully believe that
The commission will arrive at a settle
ment in the only manner which leaves
no sense of soreness or disappoint-
ment on either side.
