Former State Insurance Commission
 CT Ready to Testify at New York.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-Former State Insurance Commissioner Andrew Clunie has taken exceptions to the tes- timony given by s. s. McCurdy of the Equitable Life Assurance society be- fore the New York Investigating com mittee in so far as 1t related to Mir. Ciunie's attitude toward life insurance companies while he was insurance com missioner of California. He has tsle- graphed to Charles E. Hughes, the at torney for the legislative investigation, his willingness to go to New York and give the committee the full details of bis acts as commissioner.
 Mir. Clunie says:
 T have never heard of any demand pr command for compensation for my brother from the Equitable or any oth. er company. and do not believe there Is the slightest essence of truth in any of these charges.
 "As matter of fact, I revoked the license of the Equitable in this state, out its attorney commenced an injunc- lion suit against me in the federal courts, and the injunction is matter of record in the California courts"

He describes an experiment with a piece of thick window glass, the edges of which were ground smooth He smeared the glass with carbolie oil and applied it to 8 wound. which healed quickly without leaving q scar. The doctor contends that his method results in an immense saving in the cost of hospital practice. It is painless and the wound heals twice as quickly.

FOR SEA LEVEL CANAL.
Engineers of Panama Waterway
 Reach Important Decision.

Engineers of Panama Waterway
 Reach Important Decision.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-After long consideration the board of consulting engineers of the isthmian canal com mission, composed of men eminent at home and abroad in the engineering field. have concluded its labors with decision in favor of the construction of a sea level canal across the isthmus of Panama The boards conclusions have been formulated for presentation to President Roosevelt
 Some Of the American members fa- vor a lock and dam canal on the ground that the saving in time of con struction made this project more de- sirablc. but it has been evident ever since the return of the board of con sulfing engineers from Panama that a majority of members were impressed with the fact that the permanent ad- vantages of a sea level canal greatly outweigh the advantage in time which would come from the construction of lock and dam waterway.
 It is understood that the plan adopt ed by the commission and which will be recommended to President RoOse- welt for approval provides for sea level canal to be constructed in fifteen years at an estimated cost Of s2J0.O00.- Oo0. The derth ia said 10 have been fixed at forty-fve feet. with a width of 160 to 20 feet on the bottom. It will be necessary to construct set of two jocks ai the Pacific end Of the canal for the purpose Of controlling the heavy tides which oeccr there. and a dam will be required also at Bahia for the purpose of controlling the Chagres river.
 It Is expected that ships will be able to % through the canal under their own power. When two ships have to pass each other ln the canal one will have to stop and wait to allow freer nayigable conditions for the individual ships in the restricted space

New York Worlds Report After Inc
 vestigation.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Former Chief Hazen of the secret service and re porters for the World have inyestigat- ed charges of election frauds on Nov. and report that there is no reliable proof of the ballots being tempered with after the polls had closed and that whatever frauds were committed it was in the illegal registration of per sons not entitled to vote, the voting of men upon the names of persons prop erly registered. the intimidation of per sons by watchers and workers and in the possible inralidating of ballots through either criminal intent or igno- rance of inspectors and ballot and poll clerks.
 There is not lacking vast amount of evidence that from 5000 to 5000 men east illegal votes. They were brought in droyes from Philadelphia and New Jersey and Connecticut cities and transferred and voted two or three times. The World has the admission of one man that he voted twelve times in New York and Brooklyn on election day It has the confessions of other men. undoubtedly true, that they vot. ed three or four times.

FATAL FIRE AT GLASGOW.
Thirty-nfne Dead Taken From a
 Scotch Lodging House.

scotch Lodging House.
 GLASGOW, Nov. 20.-The most ter rible fire that has occurred in Great Britain for many years broke out bere ill d cheap lodging house for men in Watson street and resulted in the loss of thirty-nine lives and the severe in- jury of many others.
 The flames were first noticed on the fourth floor of the building. which was occupied by 330 men. An alarm was raised. and the firemen were speedily in attendance. but flames and smoke were then issuing from most of the windows on the fourth floor. An ex- traordinary scene waa created by procession of almost naked men issu- ing from the door of the building, and against their frantic efforts to escape the firemen had actually to fight for admission,
 Reaching the upper floors. the fire men found that the Iarrow passages were becoming congested with men wbo dropped to the floor overcome by smoke.
 
 The dead were mostly workmen in the prime of life. They presented a horrible spectacle. their blackened faces bearing evidence of terrible struggles to escape
 On search of the bnilding being made and a complete list of the vic tflns obtained it turned out that tfir- ty-nlne were dead and thirty-two in jured.
 It appears to be the custom of these lodgers to sleep in q nude condition. and the march of the survivors to the police station was fantastic cue. Some had snatched the covers of the beds and others their trousers. while many were completely naked. The To- cal authorities had to be called upon to supply the men with clothing and warm meals. Owing to their migra- tory habits and the absence of perma- nent homes many of the dead will ney- CT be identified The Identification of others is rendered difficult by the ab- sence of clothing.

CHANNEL DISASTER
Steamer Hilda Foundered on
 Rocks Of St. Malo.
OVER 4 HUNDRED SOULS PERlSHED
Vessel Left Southampton For French Coast, Missed the Tide Owing to Fog and Sank During the
 Early MOrning.

LONDON, Nov. 20.--A grave disas- ter overlook the Southwestern rail. ways cross channel steamer Hilda near St. Maio. The Hilda left South ampton for St. Malo, on the north coast of France. with considerably over hundred souls on board, the majority Of whom were drowned.
 Her passage was greatly delayed by fog ill flle channel. and when near ing St. Malo she ran into severe snowstol1n. apparently missed her course and foundered on the rocks off Jardin lighthouse, three miles from St. Maio.
 The company's steamer Ada, out ward bound from St Malo, rescued five of tile passengers and one of the crew.
 The crew numbered twenty six, and there were over hundred passen- gers on the ship, the majority being onion dealers from St. Briac and neigh borhood.
 4 telegram from St. Servan. adjoin- ing the town of St Malo, gives the few details received. The Hilda was near St. Maio when she struck the rocks at 4 o'clock in the morning in the road stead of the island of Cezembre. She had missed the tide owing to bad weather and fog.
 The majority of the crew and pas sengers were asleep at the time. Two boats were lowered, one of which, con taining five men, arrived at St. Seryan. The second boat was picked up empty at St Cast, where thirteen bodies were washed ashore. The top of the Hilda's funnel and her mast are visible at low tide.
 The exact number of lives lost on the Hiida is unknown. It is under stood that there were about twenty first class passengers. including the Hon. Mrs Butler, sister of Lord Lanes borough. and Colonel Follet. Though it is not certain that these were actu- ally on board, they were expected to travel by the Hilda, and it is known that all the first class passengers were drowned. These passengers were English officers and others who were coming to rejoin their families or to spend the season at St Malo and Din ard. opposite St Malo.
 It appears to he certain that only six were saved, these being five onion sellers and an English seaman named Grinter. belonging to Guernsey, and that the total on board, including the crew, numbered 146.
 The disaster was first suspected through the washing ashore of num- Der of bodies, and the port authorities immediately sent out tug. It was then learned that the Hilda was wreck cd on a treacherous reef close to the island of Cezambre called Les Portes, ] She .hgd 4ppaIenfly struck. broken hef back and immediately sank, leaving no time to launch the boats. The Jar. din light is quite close to the spot IL cannot yet be explained at what time or how the disaster occurred.

UNIQUE FUNERAL SERVICE.
sSidyaIe Company Had Steel InRot
 Buried With Full Church Rites.

Buried With Full Church Hltes.
 PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20.-A, fu- neral without parallel in this city took place at the Midyale steel works, where n forty ton ingot of steel per meated with the flesh blood and bones of two workmen was buried with the solemn rites of the Roman Catholic church.
 The workmen who were so strangely laid away were John Forkin and Jo- seph Gazda, two foreign speaking la borers, who met a horrible death a week ago. They were in pit near cupola containing many tons of molten steel. A plug gave way. and &0.0O0 pounds of the fiery liquid poured from the cupola and overwhelmed tllem The men were completely incinerated. and not q trace of themselves or their clothing was left
 The Midyale Steel company was averse to selling the steel CT using it for the purpose 1t was intended. and it was decided to bury it with the rites of the church to which the un- fortunate men had belonged
 A great crowd sought admission to the works, but only the two sisters of Gazta, who depended upon him for support, and about a hundred work men who were on Sunday duty were permitted to attend the services along with the officials of the company. For kin had no relatives in this country. Among the officials was President Charles Harrah. All heads were bar cd and flags were lowered to half staff while two priests conducted the serv- ices. After the sisters of Gazda had been led away the great ingot was cov- cred with earth. and the funeral party dispersed. The grave of the men will be appropriately marked by the com pany.

 May Be Abandoned.
CARS SOLDIERS NUTIsY IN JAPAN
Half of yIadivostok Reported De- sfroyed by Ffre-six Hundred of Garrison Killed = Japanese
 Now Rule Korea.

St. PETERSBURG. Nov. 20.-After the severe reverse which they suffered early yesterday morning when at the end of seven hour debate the council of workmen decided to abandon the industrial strike the leaders of the ex- tremist Socialist factions of the St. Petersburg workmen are engaged in hard and apparently losing fight in de- fense of a resolution for an eight hour day which was the slogan of last weeks strike. but which was aban- doned at the last moment in favor of an appeal for the lives of the mutineers at Cronstadt and the liberty of Po- land.
 There is much resentment over the descent of police and troops upon the printing offices of the Noyaya Zhizn, Maxim Gorky's paper. A protest is made against this act as illegal in view of the absence of any warrant, and bulletin posted by the woskmen is full of violent denunciation of Count Witte. It contains number Of reso- lutions demanding the cessation of the state of siege, the abolition of capital punishment, the formation of nation al militia and pardon for the Cronstadt mutineers.
 Five hundred Russian soldiers who were taken prisoners by the Japanese during the late war and who were at Nagasaki bound for yladivostok on board the Russian volunteer feet steamers Vladimir and BoConeji hay ing shown signs of mutiny, the Rus sian officers applied to the Japanese government for troops, and a police of- fcer and 100 constables boarded the Boroneji. Four Japanese torpedo boat destroyers have surrounded the two vessels. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky is on board the Boroneji.
 An eyewitness of the recent riot at Vladivostok reports that nearly half the city was burned, that 800 of the garrison were killed, that the jail was thrown open and that General Rap. pek is missing. The damage is esti. mated at S25.0O0,O00. Soldiers from Harbin are reported to have joined the rioters.
 The Japanese are jubilant over the successful completion of the new con. yention with Koreas whereby Japan's suzerainty is formally and firmly es- tablished over the Hermit Kingdom The speedy success of the negotiations is attributed to the confidence that Marquis Ito has inspired in the em peror of Korea and his ministers.
 Henceforth all the foreign relations of Korea will be managed at Tokyo.
