ILLNESS is IN NO WAY FATAL
Newspaper Correspondent Has Inter

Government Suffered by Agitation.

New York, Dec 20.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Herald ca
bles an interview secured last Satur-
day with M Shiphoff, minister of
finance, who was asked as to the ex-
tent the government suffered by rea-
son of political agitation and particu-

in which the bankruptcy of the govern
ment was trumpeted.
Il do not seek to conceal the fact, .
the minister said, that the movement
has made itself felt among us. Com

could not be otherwise. But do not
think for moment that We experience
any alarm or anxiety"
How often have you seen a young

ing on. Have you not often noticed
how an i'll man, aided by robust consti
tuition, throws off a malady and after
convalescence emerges from the SICK
room stronger and more capable than
ever?
That is the position of Russia just
now. The illness is in no way fatal
nor will the convalescence be protract-
ed. cannot say exactly wnen the
patient will be able to get out of doors
but rest assured, he will not die. The
medical attendants are absolutely sure
of that The revolutionary party has
been trying to make capital out of the
alleged impending bankruptcy of the

apply the word bankruptcy TO the gov

Il authorize you TO state positively
that the Russian treasury is in no diff
ficulty nor do We foresee any possibil-
ity of financial trouble.
"The revolutionists make a strong
point of having touched a weak spot
by endeavoring to bring about gen

show you how unfounded it is, just

minister pulled out document show

CONVICTS MANHOOD
BORE The TEST
Fought Fire And Saved Women
From the Flames.
IN BLAckwELL's ISLAND PRISON

Totally Destroyed-Much Other
Property Damaged-Prisoners Prom
ised To Be Own JaiIers.
New York, Dec. 20-Forgot that they
were conYicts and remembered thar
they were men on BlackwelPs island
early this morning when the male pris
oners marshaled by their keepers in
to a fire-fghting and life-saving corps
bore from the flaming floors of the yo
mems ward $40 frantic women AM
from the hospital beds so more.
Starting from the sewing room OF
the work house and from cause which
has not yet been definitely decided
the fire had reached a fierce blaze at
2 O'Clock when it was discovered.
The fire engine on the island proved
inadequate and call for help was
sent to the city department. Seven
engines went over, but were not suffi-
cA@tt to save the women's work house
from destruction. On the top floor of
this building were cells for the women
who became frantic with fright and
were soon choking wicH the dense
smoke that filed their cells.
That most of them did not perish is
due to the recent installation of sys-
EN- by which in emergencies every
cell in the tier can be opened simulta-
neously with all the others. When the
extent and danger Of the blaze became
apparent, the warden marshaled his
regular fire-ighting force of employees
and soon were at work.
The flames spread so fast, however,
that this force proved hopelessly in
adequate. Then it was decided TO
touch the male prisoners sense of
manhood, ana they bore the test well.
Freed from their cells and mar
shaled into small bodies they entered
the building and went at the work of
fire fighting, and rescue, with the most
utter disregard of danger to them
selves.
The flames were cracking all about
them and they plunged through the
densest smoke when they brought out
in their arms the last of the women
prisoners.
The fire bells and the shouts of the
men at work could be heard all over
the island and in the hospitals and
building of the other institutions there
was a panic which was quieted with
difficulty by the nurses physicians and
keepers.
Although only part of the convicts
were used in rescuing the women,
those who remained locked in their
cells made frantic appeals to be al
lowed to help. AS the screams of the
women penetrated to their cells some
of the conviets fell on thir knees, beat
ing the bars with their fists and implor-
ing the guards to let them out to fight
the fire. When this was refused they
begged that at least tne guards go to
the rescue, promising that they would
be their own jailers.
The fire lasted over two hours, con-
suming all of the womens prison, the
hospital and half of the work house
right up to the shores of Long Island
and TO the shipping in East river and
gilded the tall buildings on the New
side of the river.
