rfISTAKtS LIGHTS.
Steamer SiciIian Prince Ashore on
Long island.

New York, Nov. 2S.-The Prince line
steamship Siciian Prince, from Genoa
and Naples, lies aground tonight on
the Long island shore, one mile west of
the Long Beach life saving station.
The steamer stranded just before day
light this morning and all efforts
throughout the day 10 get the ship into
deeper water have proved futile. Four
tugs are standing by the vessel, and
with hawsers made fast to bow and
stern, by their united effoIss are keep
ing her from being washed further on
the beach.
An attempt was made 10 float the
Sicilian Prince at food tide, about 8
o'clock this afternoon, and with the
assistance of her own engines che was
moved about 1000 feet, but still held
fast to the sandy bottom. The vessel
lies easy on the beach. There is little
surf and hardly any wind. and unless
storm breaks it is expected the ship
will be pulled off the bar at food tide
in the morning. Should this attempt
fail the 500 storage and II cabin pas
sengers will be tasen off on steamboats,
or tugs and brought to this city and
the cargo will be lightered. The vessel
lies 800 yards off shore in about Is feet
OF water.
Captain William Hank, Of the Prince
liner, saw the sandy Hook light and
mistook it for the Barnegat light on
the Jersey coast. The steamer ground
ed so easily that few of the passengers
knew of the ships predicament until
daylight.

The New Congress:
NEW NOTE SENT TO PORTE.
America Tells Her She rfusf Fulfill
Her Agreement at Once.

Consiantinople, Nov. 1.-THE Amer
lean consul at Kharput, DIR. Thomas
H. Norton, has been instructed to pro-
coed to the 1urco- Persian frontier and
watch the operations of the Turkish
and Persian authorities who have IN
dertaken to arrest the Kurdish murder
ers of the American missionary, Kew.
r. W. Larabee, who was billed in April
last.
Despite the porte's repeated promis-
es to the American legation not to per-
NIT vendors of bibles of the American
Bible society to be nelested, the local
authorities at Angora, Trebizond and
Ordu still detain the vendors who have
sold their bibles, and threatened to ar
rest anyone attempting to cell them
The legation, therefore, has addressed
more imperative note to the porte
calling attention to this noncompliance
with instructions which the legation
has been assured had been given to sur
render the bibles and not interfere with
the work of the Dible house, and de-
manding prompt settlement, failing
which the matter would be referred to
Washington.

Great Throna in Attendance at Ma
fionaI Grange.

Portland, Nov. 19.-Yesterday's at
tendance at the National Grange con-
vention went up to nearly 5000. To-
day bids fair to bring the largest num-
bers, owing 10 the fact that the three
final degrees will be conferred this
afternoon at the Empire theater. The
sessions are growing more enthusiastic
and much business is being transacted
at every session.
There was no evening session last
night, the various committees needing
the time for their reports. The Arm
DRY hall was thrown open after 5 o'clock
to the general public, and the visitors
held imp omptu receptions among
themselves. Many speeches were made
and songs we're sung, the occasion being
one of the most enjoyable of the in
formal gatherings so far during the
week.
Yesterdays business began with the
annual address of g. W. F. Gaunt, of
New Jersey, assistant steward OF the
National Grange. Others addressing
the meeting were: B. G. Patterson, Of
Connecticut, and the state managers
from New York, Washing ION, Missouri,
Delaware, Colorado and Vermont, who
made reports upon the condition of
their respective charges.

BIG GAS EXPLOSION
Chicago Illuminating Plant Almost
Complete Wreck.
OyERPREssURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT
-Four People Killed and Score Of Others In

Plant at Once Takes Fire.

Chicago. Nov .21.-FouT persons we've
killed and a score injured today by a
series Of gas explosions that destroyed
the plant of the Pyle Electric Head
light company. The shocks of the ex-
plosion were so severe that all the
buildings near the demolished plant
we're damaged, and windows were shat
tered for blocks. while persons were
thrown from their feet. Over pressure
is believed TO have caused the accident.
The Pyle company supplies illumi-
nation for railroad coaches. This illu-
minant is forced into small retorts,
which, when attached under the floor
of a car, will supply it with light for
months. In order to make this posi-
BILE the retorts are subjected to an ex-
tremely high pressure. 1t was such a
tank that caused the first explosion.
While workmen and wreckage filled
the air, other retorts exploded in such
rapid succession that it was almost i'm
possible to distinguish the separate de-
donations. There we're nine such ex-
plosions in all, and these left the plant
n flames. The fire kept the depart
ment busy for several hours. The total
loss to property is SIS, 900.

COMPLAINS or ENrnY'S TACTICS.
General BsIsshoff Says Russian Hos
pifaI Ships are Fired Upon.

Chefoo, Nov. 23.-General Balsahoff,
the head OF the Red Cross society at
Port Arthur, sent to the Associated
Press or the torpedo boat destroyer
Rastoropny, which arrived here from
Port Arthur November 16, and which
was subsequently,de destroyed by her crew
in this harbor, a personal letter charg-
ing the Japanese with a violation OF
the rules of civilized warfare. Owing
to an error the letter was not delivered
to the Associated Press until today.
In his letter General Balsahoff re-
quests the publication of the charges
that the Japanese deliberately disre-
garded the obligations Of the Geneva
and Hague conventions. He says that
they have compelled the abandonment
by the Russians of three plainly marked
hospital ships, and that the wounded
who were aboard the half sunken
steamer Angara also had to be re-
moved. These ships, says General
Balsahoff, were anchored where they
did not interfere with the Japanese fire
against the Russian warships.
He further says that the Japanese
who use balloons to direct their fire,
and who drop their shells with minute
accuracy into the harbor, cannot mis-
take the hospital ships, and he charges
that they deliberately drive the wound
ed from the ships Ioi the purpose Of
sinking the vessels.

RUSSIA WILL NOT RESENT 1T.
fsvors RooseveIt'S Peace Move, bui
Can't Join In While War is On.

st. Petersburg Nov. 81. - The Rus
sian formal reply says a circular note
regarding the converting of The Hague
conference is not expected until next
week. In the meantime the views OF
other powers are being ascertaineo
through the Russian representatives
abroad. While there is no reason 10
believe that Russia can agree to par
ticipate in conference during a war
there is every indication that she will
not only not resent the proposal, but
that her reply will be of a cordial
nature.
In the course of a conversation on
the subject between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff and Charge d'Affaires Eddy,
OF the American embassy, the former
spoke feelingly of Russia's great inter-
est in the work and aims Of the peace
confeien ;e initiated by Emperor Mich
olas. and the important fact developed
that it had been Russia's intention,
had not the war interviewed, herself to
invite the powers to second confer
eDce. While the war was in progress,
however, Count Lamsdorff explained, it
was great difficulty to fruitful dis
cussion and to a decision in a question
which might affect the activity of the
present belligerents.
