Lost Bodies Recovered.

Bearing pitiful evidences Of awful
suffering, the bodies of Zimmerman,
Kenyon and Lillyblade were recovered
yesterday afternoon.
Those of Lillyblade and Kenyon were
found together on the mattress upon
which they were evidently asleep when
killed, while Zimmerman body was
found not more than two feet away.
ALI three bodies were buried beneath
the debris ten feet from the front Of
the building and about an equal dis
lance from the south wall Of the base
ment.
Lillyblade was evidently killed in
stantly, as his head was badly crushed,
and the same fate was probably that
Of Kenyon, whose chest was crushed
out of shape by lateral pressure. EN-
norman appeared to have died hor-
rible death. His countenance was bad
ly distorted, while his hands were
clinched and filled with hair which he
had torn from his own head.
#. Take Down Front Wall.
BY order Of Building Inspector
Peck building will be torn down as soon
as possible.
Workmen began erecting a scaffold
this morning and they probably will be
kept at the work until late tonight, 50
that the razing process may begin early
tomorrow. Unless high wind comes
up there is no immediate danger, yet
the inspector will take no chances and
both the rear and front walls will be
on the ground by the first Of next week.

PEOPLES APPEAL
DENIED BY GAR
Russia's Ruler, Firm for Auto
cracy, Rejects Pleas Of the
Zemstvos.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 22:-Emperor
Nicholas formally notified the country
today that agitation for the completion
and the convening Of national assem-
bly, is useless.
Such is the construction placed upon
the Endorsement written In his own
hand on the resolutions telegraphed by
most loyal manner begging him to con"
woke legally elected members OF the
zemstvos to present a program Of re-
forms for his consideration. The en-
peror wrote on the dispatch:
I consider the action Of the president
to be presunptuous and tactless. Cues
lions Of state administration are Of no
concern to the zemstvos, whose functions
and rights are clearly defined by the
law.
The Endorsement is printed in the
ing the hopes Of the extremists.
1t did not come as great surprise.
The emperor, from the beginning, altho
he has shown himself favorably dis
| posed towards a more liberal regime
and in entire sympathy with some of
| the zemstvo demands, has resolved not
to yield the principle OF autocracy.
Agitation Helped Reaction.
Upon this point it is understood all
his advisers, including Sviatopolk-
Mirsky, minister of the interior, agreed,
but the character of the agitation
which followed the meeting Of the pres
| idents of the zemstvos and the action
of various provincial zemstvos and mu-
inequalities, coupled with the recent
demonstrations at st. Petersburg, Mos
cow and elsewhere, probably served to
strengthen the hands of the reactiona-
ries and convinced the emperor of the
necessity for plain-spoken announce.
ment Of the sovereign's position upon
the main point.
i The reactionaries undoubtedly regard
the emperor g action as distinct vic
tory for them. Nevertheless the con
i ferences over the reform measures are
still in progress at Tsarskoe-Selo anc

What the immediate effect Of th'
imperial rebuke administered to tn,

flames and be used by the revolution
