| New York. June 15.-Five hundred
persons, mostly women and children
perished today by the burning OF the
| excursion steamer General Slocum
| near Hellgate in East river. The SlO-
cum with the annual Sunday school
excursion of ST. Marks Lutheran
church of this city on board. was pro-
| ceeding up the river to one of the
| many resorts of Long Island sound.
When near 125th street persons on
shore saw smoke and flames spring
from the upper part of the crowded
steamer. A paE.e almost instantly
ensued on board. The crowds on the
forward deck began sDringing over
board or to crowd to the after part
of the boat. The screams of the ter
rified passengers could be heard on
shore and hundreds of small boats
Immediately put off to the rescue
Owing to the rocks on either side of
the channel at this point it was i'm
possible to beach the vessel. The Cap
tain stuck to his post at the wheel
the river for North Brothers island
where she was put aground in shal
ow water. Several hundred feet OF
open water still lay between the
steamer and the shore and many per
sons perished either in the water or
on board the vessel after she was
beached. 1t is estimated that the
steamer carried more than two thous
and passengers. There are forty bo
dies on North Brothers island with
one on the fireboat Mills and eleven
on Kicker island. The board of health
has sent one hundred doctors. and
five hundred policemen are on the
scene
New York, June 15-The steamer
General Slocum carrying Sunday
school excursion of ST. Marks Luth- |
eran church, caught fire in East river
off Hellgare this morning and burned
to the waters edge. The steamer had
over one thousand passengers on
board, mostly women and children.
The latest report is that at least five
hundred persons were burned. Hun
dreds jumped overheard.
1t is said that the fire started in |
~
of the boat. When the alarm spread
among the passengers the hurricane
deck was crowded, and when off
138th street this deck collapsed. Many |
persons were thrown into the water |
but hundreds were precipitated onto
the lower deck which was itself a !
mass of women and children The tug |
of the New York Central railroad sa |
we'd nearly score through the hero
ism of an unknown man. This man |
stood OH the paddle wheel box of the |
Slocum and passed women and chill |
dren to the tug until driven back by |
the flames. He then jumped into the |
tug himself Many of the bodies re
covered were horribly burned. The |
wreckers say it will be hours before
the fire in the hold OF the boat Is out |
and bodies there can be recovered. |
Both fremen and wreckers say the
greatest loss Of life viii be found in
the hold.
North Brothers island where the
Slocnm is beached is occupied by the
municipal charity hospitals and con
siderable number Of physicians and
nurses were Immediately available
Many Of those picked up alive in the |
river VIII die. Most Of them are fright |
fully burned.

Toxic. June 15.-The entrance OF
the harbor of Port Arthur has been
cleared of obstructions. Yesterday
the Russian cruiser Novik steamed
out and engaged with the vessels of
the Japanese blockading squadron
naval engagement is now in pro-
gress off Tsuchima island in the Co
rean straits between Russian cruis-
ers which escaped from Vladivostock
and a number of Japanese ships. No
details received.
1t is reported that the Japanese
cruiser Niitaka engaged the Russian
Vladivostock squadron off Tsuchima
island between Corea and the Japan
ese coast The report is unconfrmed.
The Japanese transports Ulo and Flu.
yo homeward bound were pursued by
the Russians and sixteen shots fired
but the transports escaped.
Three Japanese transports outward
bound met Russian warships this
Z morning outside the straits of COrea
Z The Russians fired eighteen shots Al
and the fate of the other two is un-
known. 1t is believed that naval
engagement is imminent.
London, June IA dispatch from
Toxic to the Central News Agency
says the VladivOstock squadron was
first sighted June 1st from Oki isl
and, off KiOto, Japan. Later in the
day cannonading was heard northwest
of Nagato ton the coast of Japan in
the straits OF Corea). The captain of
a japanese merchant ship reports
this morning that his ship was fired
upon by q Russian warship. Heavie,
cannonading was heard early this
morning in the vicinity of Oki island
st. Petersburg, June 15-From the
appointment Of Lieutenant General
Dembowski as commander of the
fifth east Siberian army corps it is
evident that larger reinforcements
are to be placed ait the disposal of
General Kuropatkin. The organization
of the new army corps now ordered
out from European Russia shows
that Kuropatkin now has almost two
hundred thousand troops. and proba-
: bly, he has an effective force of ono
hundred and fifty Thousand men at
Lao Yang. General DembOwski is
distinguished strategist.
No information is Obtainable here
regarding the reported engagement
between the Russian vladivostoc
squadron and the Japanese in the
Corean straits. But it is quite likely
to have occurred. Vice Admiral Skry-
dioff has left Vladivostock with the
armored cruisers Gromoboi. Rossia
and Rurik and some torpedo craft.

THE advertising columns of our large
daily papers now offer many OF
portunities for lodgings with light
housekeeping privileges. The priv
,leges given with room rented in pri-
Vate houses" usually include the use
OF gas for cooking, the lodger supplying
the necessary utensils and small port
acie stove. In some cities. especially
in the west. gas for cooking is fur
nlshed at one-half the price charged for
illumination when this is not the case.
cooking by gas may be expensive The
small one or two-wick kerosene stove
costs much less to run. and by the
exercise Of q little care need not be
either 0dorous OF uncieanly- There are
few mOderate-priced rooms which can
coast Of ventilated closet sufficiently
large to accommodate even a tiny
cooking outfit. SO the cooking must be
done m the living room. For this rea-
son the cookery must be limited To
methods and materials which viii not
leave clinging odors. When the longing
for impossible dishes becomes great the
simplest way is TO indulge ones appe-
lite at some good restaurant.
Shops for the sale of cooked foods are
now common in our larger cities. Their
stock usually includes cold cooked
meats and poultry. cured and picked
nsh, salads and sausa ges galore. indi-
vlduat mutton, pork and ham pies.
baked beans and similar preparations.
To be sure the boiled meats all taste
pretty much alike and too frequent
purchases are apt to pail, yet in emer-
gencies or as an occasional resource
they are wonderfully helpful to the re-
stricied hOusekeeDer Another source
OF supply is the local Woman's Ex-
change, 50 popular in towns and cities.
Here homemade pies and cakes can
be found. and pressed meats, jeIlies and
other delicacieS may be had to order
available for light housekeeping. but
dishes which require a somewhat pro-
tFacted cooking. such as stews. are not
usually feasible unless Il kerosene stove
IS used. A saucepan large and small

a cry against the use Of canned foods
but where reports Of poisoning are

generally found to be due either to the
use of a poor grade of canned goods
or TO the fact that they have been al
