TEN THOUSAND HOMELESS
THREE KILLED AND ONLY THE
HOSPITAL SPARED BY FLAMES
THAT DESTROYED NORWEGIAN
TOWN. =,

,
Aalesund, Norway, Jan. 25.-Every
building in town except the hospital
was destroyed by the fire OF Saturday.
The 10000 inhabitants OF Aalesund
were compelled to camp in the open,
as only a few damaged and uninhab-
liable houses were left standing. The
children of the town had to be
housed temporarily in the church at
Borgund.
The panic among the people was
so great after the outbreak Of the
flames that all attempts at leader
ship or discipline became out of the
question:; no excuses, however, were
committed.
The people first endeavored to save
some Of their property, but they soon
found they had quite enough to do
to save their own lives. Twenty
steam fishing boats and many sailing
smacks were sunk in the harbor in
order to save them from the flames,
but three steamers and many smacks
were burned. Only three persons lost
their lives.

who Parker is: His conclusion is
this:
I have no candidate but the process of
elimination leaves me the single choice

WANT A COL0RED
Man In CABINET
After That. Point Is Gained q
Negro May Be Nominated
for President.

Galveston, Texas. Jan. 25.-In an
editorial, the City Times, the official
organ of the southern negro congress,
says: 'The colored voter, both north
and south, is learning a good lesson
from his white fellow man. Work
for that which subserves you best
politically or otherwise. We Afro
Americans know when to act and
when to play the fool.
AT present we should leave off
the ticket an Afro-American, but
should insist on one serving in the
cabinet. This is justly due as race,
for we cast in the election one-sixth
of the total vote of the winning party,
and why should not we share one
sixth of all the jobs from cabinet
down? Hanna is said to indorse the
plan Indirectly"

SHALL CHICAGO !
THEATERS OPEN?
The City Council Will Resume
Consideration Of This Prob
lem Tonight.
Big Fight Will Come Over the
Matter of Steel Cur
tains.
Now York Sun Special Service.


Chicago, Jan. 25.-An effort will be
made at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil tonight to bring about action lead
ing to the immediate reopening Of the
theaters, under reasonable safety re-
strictions. Alderman Friestedt, chair
man Of the theater opening commit
tee, said last night that he would lead
the fight in the council for a recon-
mendation that would permit most of
the theaters to reopen on "a Hours
notice. He said he would recommend
that the council grant all theaters hav-
ing a fireproof asbestos curtain the
right to reopen under proper fire regu-
1ations without having to wait for the
installation of a steel curtain.
1t is conceded that the recommends
ton of Alderman Friestedt will meet
with much opposition and probably
will precipitate spirited debate on
the floor Of the council. Most of the
aldermen who have led the fight
against the reopening Of the theaters
are still holding to their original views
and say they will insist on the steel
curtain provision of the new law be-
fore they will grant the theater mana
gers permission to resume business.

The Explosion.

Several cars of coal had been
brought out this morning and at S:15
o'clock the signal was given from the
bottom Of the shaft that another car
was ready. The cage, with q mule
on board, was sent down, and as it
reached the bottom there was ter
rifle explosion. The cage was blown
out Of the shaft and thru the top Of
the roof Of the tipple, wrecking the
weighmaster' office. The mule was
blown 200 feet from the tipple. It's
body was badly charred and mutt
lated. All the men on the tipple
were more or less injured. They were
taken from the debris and sent to
Cheswick.
Mine Inspector F. w. Cunningham
was notified, and preparations were
made to go to the relief OF the i'm
prisoned miners. The airshaft had
been damaged by the explosion, and
it was about two hours before air
could be pumped into the mine.
Manager Sheets said the explosion
was caused by fire damp. The charred
condition Of the mule, and the force
Of the explosion, led the mine people
to fear the worst. There was little
fire following the explosion.
