MANY FrREMEs OVERCOME.
Difficult Fire to Fight In broadway
New York.

New York, June 29.--Nearly fifty fire.
men were overcome, four of them prob
ably fatally, by smoke and gas at fire
that broke out to-day in the sub-cellar
of the double five-story brick building
at Nos. 4S3 and 4S5 Broadway, extend
ing through to Mercer street. Half a
hundred employees were driven from
the building and the damage inflicted
by fire, water and smoke was estimated
at between s150,O00 and 100000.
The fire was so situated that it was
difficult to fight it, and 1t burned for
more than two hours before finally
brought under control. The smoke from
the burning material was so dense and
so pungent that the firemen could work
In it FOR but a few minutes at a time
and many Of those who braved it fell
PROSTATE where they stood. Some who
fell unobserved by their comrades lay
unnoticed on the floor for rlonutes and
in one case for nearly an hour before
finally discovered and dragged to the
open air to be cared for by a large re-
lief force.
The breaking of gas mains inside the
building. and the consequent flooding of
the place with thousands Of cubic feet
of illuminating gas added greatly to the
difficIty and the danger.

Opinion in the New York, Ontario and
Western Dispute.

New York, June 29.-The directors of
the New York, Ontario and Western
railroad to-day received the report of
the subcommittee appointed to inquire
into the advisability and legality of a
continuance OF the voting trust. The
board adopted the recommendation of
its counsel that it win be necessary
for the protection of the company and
of its interests of the holders of the
common stock, to continue the trust
after the company shall have earned
and paid dividend on the common
stock
The opinion regarding the voting trust
was rendered by Lawyer w. B. Horn
blower. who adds:
''The legislature has itself created the
trust and has declared the condition
and the sole condition in which it shall
terminate, viz: When all such prefer
red stock (there are forty shares out
standing) shall have been SO transfer
red.'
The subcommittee, which consists of
Grant B. Schley, c. Ledyard Blair and
Gerald L. Hoyt, adds that from the
opinion delivered by counsel "the con-
elusion seems irsesistible that the trust
cannot be dissolved
Because of contemplated improve
ments the committee adds:
I'VE report that no dividend should
be or can be paid upon the common
stock at this time; but while the build

ued and carried to completion as speed
lily as the work can be done with econ
onny, we recommend that, at the proper
time, some plan be submitted to the
stockholders for creating new re-
sources, supplemental to those we now
have, with which to provide for the fur
ther cost of that work, and other ex-
penditures that may properly be charg-
ed to capital.
ANY such plan should be cornprehen-
sive enough not only to meet ordinary
traffic and Improvement requirements
for a considerable period Of years, but
to enable the company to avail itself OF
any opportunity that may offer to ex-
tend its operations.
IF the stockholders shall approve
such a plan. when submitted to them,
the division Of an surplus earnings will
become a proper question for the dis
position by the board"
James B. Clews. chairman of the
committee which is opposed to the con-
tinuance OF the ontario & Western
voting trust, makes this statement:
THE stockholders have no desire to
enter into a controversy of any kind,
but the action Of the directors leaves
no alternative but to test the matter
in the courts. The cornmittee's coun-
sci will now proceed with the case.

For Repairs.

St. Louis, June 2s.-Colonel X. P.
Kingsbury, commandant of the Jeffer-
son Guards, who has been investigat-
ing the attempted destruction of the
gas bag of Santos Dumonts airship,
made his report to President Francis.
of the Louisiana Purchase exposition,
tonight.
After reciting in detail the movements
of the guards during the night of June
27. when the damage was done, Colonel
Kingsbury said in part:
Il learn from Lieutenant Walsh, Of
the secret service, who has investigat-
ed the matter thoroughly, that Mr..
Hudson, superintendent of the marine
section of the transportation bureau,
told him that he several times yester-
day spoke to Mr.. Dumont Of the advis-
ability of placing special watchmen
over the balloon and placing the cover
on the box. This Mr.. Dumont failed to
do, only partially replacing the cover,
as he stated that he desired to get all
the air possible in contact with the
balloon. If air had been essential to
the balloon, as much could have been
obtained if a strong wire netting had
been placed over the top Of the box, the
cover of which was only about half re-
moved. anyway.
"One of Mr.. Dumont's assistants is
said to carry a large strong knife.
Owing to the strength of the numerous
folds and thickness of the balloon en-
velope some such knife as this would
have been necessary to cut the bal
loon.
Il am told that Mr.. Hudson stated
to-day that the balloon could be repair
ed here. at least temporarily, in from
two to five days"
/ The rumor became current in St.
Louis to-day that Mr.. Dumont could
tell who damaged the gas bag, and a
statement to that effect was published
in an afternoon paper. When shown
this statement Mr.. Dumont said 1t was
ridiculous. He said further: ut will
probably cost me $1,000 before the dam
age is repaired. / have the gas bag
packed ready to ship. and hope to send
it away for Paris tomorrow. l myself
shall go to Paris and superintend the
repair work.
Professor Meyers has said he can
repair the damage here; why do you
not let him do it?" was asked.
| Because" replied Mr.. Dumont, II do
mot think Mr.. Meyers or any one else
this side of Paris can make the repairs.
If Professor Meyers repairs the bag he
can go up in the ship. will not trust
myself in it.
Il shall leave all the machinery of
the airship here and take only the
damaged bag to Paris. expect to re-
turn to America in about six weeks,
and will then make an ascension"
Charles F. Morrison, who was arrest
ed on the charge of having cut the gas
bag, was released tonight.

RUSSIAN SUBMARINE DISASTER
Boat Sinks In Neva and Twenty Men
Are Lost.

st. Petersburg, June 29.-6:02 p. rn.-
moorings in the Neva, off the Baltic
shipbuilding yard, at IL o'clock this
morning, with the loss of an officer,
Lieutenant Cherkasoff, and twenty
men. The accident was due partly to
the excessive number of the crew,
mostly inexperienced men, and chiefly
to the unfortunate attempt of man
to escape while his comrades were
screwing down the manhole.
The officers and men detailed for
submarine boat instruction had assem-
bled at the Baltic yard and three off,
GERS decided to go down in the Delfin,
although her captain was not present,
relying on the experience of her skilled
crew. A score Of novices were anxious
to down with the three officers. The
Delfn's nominal capacity is ten men,
instead Of which thirty-two entered the
boat bringing her manhole in danger
Gus proximity to the river level.
Just then a tug passed, sending
heavy wash against the boat AS soon
as the waters splashed into the sub
marine boats interior it created pan
ic among the novices, and one Of them
tried to get out of the manhole which
the older hands was screwing down
preparatory to the descent, the sub
merging apartment having already
been opened. The water rushed in and,
as the submerged vessel sank like
stone, the officers and some of the men
were saved by being blown UP through
the manhole by the rush of the escap-
ing air.
The Delfin is Russia's best submarine
boat She was designed by naval
architect Boubnoff and Captain Bek-
lemishoff, and underwent successful
trial in 1903, following the Cronstadt
squadron to Reval.
