pLEHTE's ASSASSIN ESCAPES.
A Daringly Conceived and Successful
Coup by Friends.

A DaringIy Conceived and Successful
Coup by Friends.
London, Sept. 5.--A special dispatch
from st. Petersburg says that by dar-
ingly conceived coup on the part of his
friends, Sassoneff, the murderer of M.
Won Plehve, succeeded in escaping pris-
on.
Early Saturday morning, two men,
apparently officers of high rank, accom-
panied by an army surgeon and two
gendarmes, presented themselves at the
prison with note alleged to be from
Minister Of Justice Muravieff. The forg-
ed note sanctioned the removal of Sas-
soneff, who assassinated Minister Of
the Interior Won Plehve with an infer
nal machine a few weeks ago.
The prison officials were completely
taken in and handed over the assassin
who was driven away in the most de-
liberate manner. 81
Nothing has been heard since then
either of Sassoneff or the bogus officers.
The letter presented at the prison was
clever forgery, written upon official
paper of the ministry of justice.

RIOT AMONG IMMIGRANTS.

movaI Of Children for Measles.
New York, Sept. 4.-Ellis Island was
the scene Of gypsy riot last night
which for time threatened to necessi-
tate the calling of outside help to aid
the force of immigration inspectors and
watehmen. When the steamer Carpa-
thia arrived here last Thursday she
brought $50 glpsies representing many
nationalities. Among them were fifty
children suffering form the measles
who were sent to Brooklyn hospital
by the physicians of the Marine hospi-
tai. The gipsies greatly resented the
taking of the children and last night a
report in some way spread among them
that their children had been drowned.
Then another child suffering form the
weasels was found among the women
and when a physician tried to feel the
child's pulse the women attacked him.
They pulled off their shoes which have
thick wooden soles and belobored the
doctor, and hurled drinking cups and
shoes at him and the guards who drag
ged him from among them. The gypsy
men, in an adjoining room, added their
voices to the clarnor and drew knives
and other weapons. All night women
and men fiercely set upon any uniform
ed man who entered either room.
Early this morning an interpreter was
routed out of bed in East New York
and hurried to Ellis Island. He finally
convinced the band that their infants
had not been slaughtered. The sick
child was taken to the hospital and
there it's parents were permitted to ac-
company it. When they returned their
report quieted their companionf

Alterations Being Made in the Baild-

the second FIoOr-aIany injured, In-
cIuding Five Firemen.
New York, Sept. 4.-Fourteen persons
were killed and nearly score were in
jured in FIRE in a five-story double
tenement in Attorney street at an early
hour this morning. It was one Of the
worst fires in the loss Of human lives
that has occurred on the east side in
several years, although the property
loss was slight.
The dead include four women, one
man and nine children ranging in age
from three months to twelve years.
Many Of the injured were taken to hos
pitals, and it is thought that several
Of these will die. Among the injured
were ave firemen who were on the
fourth floor balcony when it fell with
them.
The small number of men among the
killed and injured was due to the fact
that most os the men who lived in the
building, following the Attorney street
custom in hot weather, were asleep on
the roof while but few Of the women
and children We're there. Those on the
roof were unable to escape by descend
ling through the burning building and
made their way to safety over neigh
boring roofs. Meanwhile the members
OF their families who had remained in
their rooms found escape cut off and
panic reigned throughout the building.
The fire occurred about 3 o'clock in the
morning and there was considerable de-
T lay in sending in an alarm.
When the fireinen reached the scene,
Some or the tenants were jumping from
the windows and from the ends of fire
escapes that reached only to the sec
ond floor, others were crouching in the
smoke In the small rooms and narrow
halls. Several ambulapces were called
and the ambulance surgeons were kept
busy caring for the injured. A number
Of daring rescues were make by fire.
men and police and the conditions un-
der which they worked were unusual
and difficult. The loss of life was due
chiefly to the fact that alterations were
being made in the tenement building in
the basement and the first floor.
Most Of the dead were found on the
two upper floors. While the search Of
the building was going on four fire.
men were at work on a fourth floor bal
cony when the balcony fell with them.
Another fireman on the balcony on the
floor below was also carried down and
probably fatally injured. The other
four were also hurt but will recover.
Two or them sell upon pile of bed
ding i'll the court yard and their injur-
les were caused chiefly by the iron
work OF the balcony falling upon them.
/ Leon Sober, an owner of the building;
Morris Levine, the agent, and Henry
Breitman, the superintendent, were ar
rested tonight charged with criminal
negligence.

Sir Thomas said that difficulty had
