With His Squadron, Prince Louis of
Battenberg Sails from New
York for Gibraltar.

New York, Nov. 21.-About 200
sailors from the British squadron
commanded by Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg were missing from their ships
when the squadron sailed Monday.
The British ships weighed anchor
shortly before noon and proceeded
down the Hudson river bound for
Gibraltar.
In midstream the Drake was joined
by the five other warships. of the
British squadron. An imposing pro.
cession down the Hudson toward the
sea was then begun. AS the Battery
was passed thousands of spectators
among the docks and in the windows
of New York's sky-scrapers cheered
the departing squadron. Prince Louis,
standing on the bridge of the Drake,
waved a final salutation. AS the
squadron passed Governors Island a
salute of 81 guns was fired from the
island and each man-ofwar as it raced
past replied to the salute with it's
guns.

LODGING HOUSE BURNS.
Disaster in City of Glasgow Results in
the Death Of Thirty-Nin
Men.

Glasgow, Nov. 2O.-The most terri
BILE fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years broke out here
Sunday in a cheap lodging house for
men in Watson street, and resulted in
the loss of 80 lives and the severe in.
jury of many others.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime of life. They presented q
horrible spectacle, their blackened
faces bearing evidence of terrible strug-
giles to escape. Many men were sleep.
ing in the attic floor, and THESE had
narrow escapes. The flames burst
through the floor and it was i'm
possible for the men to descend. The
windows were securely fastened, and
the men had to- break them so that
they could climb through to neighbor-
ing roofs. By ten O'Clock, search Of
the building was made. and complete
list of the victims obtained, which
showed that 80 were dead and 80 in
jured.

THE HILDA DISASTER.
ohicial Statement Shows Loss Of 1873
Lives in Wreck Of Steamer in
English Channel.

London, Nov. 21.AOne hundred and
twenty-eight persons lost their lives in
the wreck of the London & Southwest
ern Railway company's steamer Hilda
of the northern coast of France Sat-
urday night, according to an official
estimate given out by the officers of
the company. This death roll includes
q saloon passengers, 80 French onion
sellers and q of the crew.
st. Malo, France, Nov. 21.-Realiza-
ton of the full extent of the disaster
to the cross-channel steamer Hilda
came to the people of st. Malo Monday
as reports of the finding of bodies
we're received from different points
along the nearby coast. In all, over
60 bodies have been washed up includ-
ing that Of Capt. Gregory, the COM
mander of the wrecked ship, which
now lies in the hospital here, and as
fast as other bodies arrive they will
be placed in room prepared for their
reception. The entrance to the harbor
of st. Malo is one of the most difficult
known to mariners. On Saturday night
a binding snowstorm, with haze and
high wind, prevailed, and it is little
wonder that even SO experienced a nav
igator as Capt. Gregory lost his reck-
oning, especially as at the point where
the Hilda struck only few yards de-
Walton from the regular course meant
destruction.

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.
It L. Entered BY Ex-0ov. odell to the
Charges Made Against
Him BY Hyde.

New York, Nov. l:.-Former Gov,
BENJAMIN B. Odell, Jr., and United
States Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, O.
witnesses before the Armstrong legfs-
lattice insurance investigation commit
tee Thursday, denied parts of the testi-
moy of James Hazen Hyde. in which
their names were used. Mr.. Odell in
the course Of his testimony called Mr..
Hyde's statements base calumny,'
and when he was asked whether he
directly or indirectly had made threats
to have the charter of the Mercantile
Trust company revoked, his face
flushed and, striking the arm of the
witness chair with his fist, he ex-
claimed: There is no truth in that
statement, so help me God!" Mr.. Odell
said he had never solicited political
contributions, but possibly some mon
eys might have come to him through
the national comm :ttee, or Senator
Thomas c. Plat, as the latter had al
ways gathered together the funds in
New York state except in the last
year.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew was
called later. He never heard of the
various trustee accounts until this in
vestigation. He knew of the campaign
contributions only in general way.
He did not know the amount contrib
uted to the national campaign in 1904.
He hoped both state and national
legislatures would pass laws prohibit
ing these contributions. He detailed
the various syndicates he had been in
during four years, and said these had
netted him the sum of 1929. In these
syndicates he had $500. 900 tied up most
of the time. and 100000 is still tied

TORPEDO BOAT RUN DOWN
Cruiser Collides with Smaller Craft
and Sinks Her-Thirty-Three
Lives Reported Lost.

Kiel, Nov. 20.-Torpedo boat "S.
1875" collided near Buelk with the
small cruiser Undine. The torpedo
boat sank and one officer and 80 sea-
men are missing.
The disaster occurred during the
maneuvers in Kiel bay. A torpedo
boat division was making regulation
attack upon the Undine, which had
blinded her lights. Later she sudden
ly used her searchlight, which con-
fused the helmsman of the "S-126"
and the torpedo boat got under the
Undine's bow and was struck amid.
ship, causing the boiler of the ''S.126"
to explode. The suddenness of the
catastrophe explains the great number
of victims.
It is believed that all the missing
members of the crew were killed or
drowned. Several wounded officers
were rescued.
The accident occurred in the midst
of a driving snowstorm and when the
night was very dark. The torpedo
boat sank in four minutes.

STRIKE IS OFF,.
st. Petersburg Workingmen Decide to
Return to Work-Issue
Proclamation.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 20.-The general
strike in Russia is at an end. The
workmen's council, after a long and
stormy session, voted at three O'Clock
Sunday morning that the toilers of St.
Petersburg should resume their tasks
to-day at noon. This action was taken
because the rank and file of the en-
ploXes, panic-stricken because of the
employers ultimatum promising long
lockout, threatened to desert the lead
ers. The workmen's council, however,
in its proclamation calling of the
strike. claims that the movement
achieved the object for which it was
started-that of saving the lives of the
1,600 Cronstadt mutineers. This it de-
dominates great victory"
st. Petersburg, Nov. 21.-Although
the extreme party has abandoned the
field of battle for the moment word
has been given out that on January 3
an absolutely general strike will be
ordered throughout Russia, during
which no provisions of any kind will
be conveyed into the towns or cities.
London, Nov. IA dispatch from
St. Petersburg to Reuters Telegram
company says that an imperial mani
festo granting land concessions to the
peasants was issued this morning. By
its terms the land redemption tax pay
ments from January IA, 1906, will be
reduced by one-half and from January
IA, 1907, the payments will be totally
abolished. At the same time the cap
ital of the Peasants bank is increased
and the bank is granted additional
loan privileges, with the object of facil-
itating to the utmost the purchase of
lands by peasants. 1t is estimated that
the amount of taxation thus lifted from
the peasants by the manifesto will ag-
gregate $4,000. 900, while the extension
of the field of operations of the Peas
ants bank will enable vast tracts of
crown and private lands gradually to
become the property of the peasants.
