SKYSCRAPER FIRE
BLAZE IN CHICAGO MASONIC TEN
PIE BUILDING,
Quite a Panic Among Occupants of
Upper StOries--Big Building Is
Emptied Within Half an Hour.
Efficient Work by Employees
Fire Brigade.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Fire in the twen-
ty-story Masonic Temple yesterday
caused a panic among the 4 1000 occu-
pants of the building and damaged the
stock and fixtures of tenants to the ex-
tent Of $50, 900. All occupants of the
building escaped without serious in
jury through the bravery of the eleva-
tor men, who remained at their posts
operationg their cars while dense
clouds of smoke filled the building.
The fire broke out in the suite of five
rooms on the fifth floor oc ,upied by
Robert Friedlander & Co.. manufac
turers of X-ray apparatus A lighted
match carelessly thrown by an employee
into a pile of excelsior in the packing
room is believed to have started the
fire. There was large number of X
ray vacuum tubes stored in the COM
pany 3 rooms, and these exploded the
moment the heat reached them. Rob-
ert Friedlander realized the danger
from these tubes and worked until
overcome 10y smoke throwing them out
of the window.
Fire Spreads Rapidly.
The fire spread rapidly from the
packing room to the other rooms, and
in a few minutes the entire suite was
on fire and the light shaft of the build
ing was filled with flames.
The thousands of occupants of the
building, with the memory of the Iro-
quois theater holocaust which occurred
but half block away, fresh in their
minds, were alarmed when clouds of
smoke filled every floor, and rushed to
the elevators, but none was seriously
injured. The large buildingw as emp
tied within half an hour after the fire
was discovered. Hundreds of men and
women CROPPED their way through the
smoke and came down the stairs. That
the damage to property and individu-
ais was not greater was probably due
largely to the efficiency of the fire drill
of the employees. When the great bell
at the top of the rotunda sounded the
alarm of fire every janitor, engineer
and fireman in the building responded,
and long before the fire department
reached the scene the temlpe fire bri-
gade had attached hose to the stand
pipes which extend from the basement
to the roof of the structure, and eight
streams of water were turned upon the
confagration by the volunteer tiremen.
The fire department used but little Of
its hose, the buildings equipment be-
ing called into use.

MINERS ENTOMBED
EXPLOSION IN PENNSYLVANIA
KILLS MANY.
Thought Nearly Two Hundred Per-
ished in Il Disaster i'm the Hart
wick Mine at Chcswick milne
Opened Two Years Ago and
Has Always Been Gaseous.

Pittsburg, Jan. 26.-From all that
can be gathered at this hour, between
1870 and 1870 men are lying dead in the
headings and passageways of the Hart
wick mine of the Allegheny Coal Com
pany at Cheswick the result of a ter
rrific explosion yesterday.
Cage after cage has gone down into
the mine and come up again, but only
one miner of all those who went down
to work in the morning has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
man is Adolph Gunia, and he is still
in a semi-conscious condition at the
temporary hospital on the hillside
above the mine.
In addition to the miners who We're
at work when the explosion occurred
Selwyn M. Taylor, the Pittsburg min
ing engineer, who plated the mine,
and who was the first to reach the
bottoom after the explosion, is among
the dead. His body has just been
brought to the surface. OF those in
the mine all are undoubtedly dead.
The mine was opened two years ago
and has always been gaseous. 1t has
two shafts hundred feet apart, each
26O feet deep. Both are clogged.
The force of the explosion is illus
trated by the fact that in the pit a
mule was blown from the bottom of
the shaft out through the opening and
many feet into the air. Before the
debris settled back and closed the shaft
a huge gust of flame burst out. The
tipple building and top of the shaft
We're blown to fragments.
The scene around the shaft is dis
tressing, as nearly all the entombed
miners have large families.

ATTACKED ELECTRIC ROAD.
Mob of Koreans Attempt to Destroy
Property of Americans.

Mob of X dreams Attempt to Destroy
Property of Americans.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The war de-
partment has received information of
an attack by a mob of Koreans on an
electric road, the line being owned by
Americans, because of the fact that it
had killed a Korean. The news came
in the following cablegram from Min
lister Allen at Seoul:
"This morning, on the electric rail-
way which is the property of American
citizens, Korean was accidentally
killed. Thereupon mob of natives
attacked and partially destroyed the
car. The operators of the car would
have been injured had it not been for
the presence of mind and action of our
guard, and serious riot would have oc-
cured
Although there have been previous
reports Of disturbances in Korea, this
is the first mob attack made thus far
on property of Americasn. The rail
road is owned and operated by Ameri-
cans, Fl. r. Bostwick, of San Fran
cisco and H. Collbran being its prin-
cipal owners. 1t runs through the
heart of Seoul, the Korean capital.
Marines to the Rescue.
The guard which made the rescue
came from the American legation. 1t
consists of 100 marines who were sent
there some time ago to be on hand for
the provection of Americans and their
property. Reinforcement of this guard
has been urged, and it is believed will
be made in week s time by details of
marines from the Philippines, but
nothing has been decided upon at this
time. Conditions in Korea are recog-
nized to be critical and the state de-
partment is keeping in close touch
with the situation.
No fresh instructions have been sent
as yet as result of the mob attack.
The Korean legation has received no
advices concerning the matter. The
Korean government has notified its
legation here that it has issued formal
declaration of neutrality as between
Russia and Japan in the event of war,
and Minister Min Hui Che has formal
ly notified the state department of it's
