with so much hope was held this af-
ternoon at a private residence in TINS

embodying a recommendation for a
national representative body TO nave d

Nicholas.
Prince Sviatopol- Mirsky the Minis

meeting protection from police inter-
ferences, but secrecy was maintained
as to the place of meeting and this
effectually prevented demonstrations
which had been announced would be
made by students.
The memorandum includes ten sec
tions of which seven were endorsed
at today's meeting. The remainder,
il is expected will be approved at a
meeting to be held tomorrow. The
document, which is bound to hold a
conspicuous place in Russian history
declares that the abnormal conditions
in Russia are the result of the com

Ct Louis Mo-. Nov. 19.-The Mis-

evening resulting from the explosion
Of a hot water heater in the basement
Instantly the flames shot up through
the rotunda and the north wing ana
cupola were a solid mass OF names
within ten minutes after the explosion.
The loss cannot be estimated accurate
ly owing to the temporary construction
material which has no salvage value.
The principal loss is in the contents
of the building. The building costs
$145,00O and in it We're $4,000 worth
Of furnishings, the most valuable of
which were portraits of all former
Missouri Governors and Supreme court
judges These cannot be replaced.
The fire was the most spectacular
that has occurred in st. Louis in years.
Thousands of persons hurried from all
portions of the grounds, attracted by
the sheet of flame that Spurted from
the top of the cupolas. Sparks were
carried over the United States govern
ment building and as far northwest as
the Liberal Arts Palace. Bucket bril-
gades were hurried to the roofs OF
these buildings to prevent ignition.
Meantime from all quarters of the
grounds the fire apartment had re-
sponded and were augmented by ap-
paratus from the city department.
Salvage corps were formed by both
jefferson Guards and Worlds Fair
visitors and as much property as could
Ia. secured within a few moments was
carried into the Louisiana State pavil-
ion adjacent.
Mrs. Belle Hall Small, of Sedalia,

he carried her into the open air, where
she was revived. j. p. Nixon, OF Leb-
anon, Nc, an attache of the building,
was overcome by smoke while car
rying some property out of doors. He
also was rescued by { firetaan and was
carried in an unconscious condition to
the Wisconsin building, where he was
revived.
While responding to the alarm of fire
Captain Edward O'Neill, of Worlds

George Gabenbach was killed and

darkness the horses left the road.
They separated when approaching a
large area, the pore SlIlhIHS Tie op-
