A TERRIBLE FIRE.
Thirty nine Lives Lost and 80 Injured
by Fire at Glasgow.

Glasgow. Nov. 19.-The most terrible
fire that has occurred in Great Britain
for many years broke out here, this
morning. in 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 flames were first noticed at 6
o'clock. this morning. on the fourth
floor of the building, which was occu-
pied by $50 men. An alarm was rails
ed 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 was created by a
procession of almost naked men is
suing from the door Of the building
and against their frantic efforts to
escape the firemen had actually to
fight for admission. s ..i.i
Reaching the upper floor the firemen
found that the narrow passages were
becoming congested with men who
dropped to the floor overcome by
smoke.
Fortunately the fire was confined to
the fourth floor. and as soon as the
firemen were able to get to work, It
was speedily extinguished. The flames
had been fed by the wooden partitions
Of the cubicles which threw OH vol
umes of smoke, resulting in the suffo-
cation Of the inmates. Many, on be-
ing brought to the street, rallied In
few minutes but others had to be taxi
en- to the hospitals.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime of life. They presented
h III
faces bearing evidence of terrible
struggles to escape.
Many men were sleeping in the at

SO LIVES LOST IN GLASGOW FIRE.
Over 80 Others Injured---G German
Torpedo Boat Rammed by Cruis-
er With Loss of 80 Lives.

1t appears to be certain that only
sellers and an English seaman named
GrinteT. belonging to Guernsey. and
that the total number on board, includ-
ing the crew, was 105.
The delay in the arrival of the Hilda
had inspired little anxiety, as there was
dreadful weather in the channel and
as everyone had full confidence in her
captain, Gregory. an experienced man
who was likely to exercise caution in
approaching the dangerous coast Of
Brittany, which he had known for 30
years.
The disaster was first suspected
through the washing ashore of a body
and the port authorities Immediately
sent out a tug. 1t was then learned
that the Hilda was wrecked on u
reacherous reef close to the island of
Cezambre, called Les Portes" She
back and Immediately sank. leaving no
time to launch the boats. The Jardin
light is quite close to the spot. 1t, can
not yet be explained at what time or
how the disaster occurred. The en-
trance to st. Malo Is dangerous, the
currents and rocks needing the exer-
else of considerable caution at times,
but more so especially in bad weather.
Many bodies have been washed
ashore at different points, some wear
ing life belts. Six of the survivors, ac-
cording to Il report in circulation here,
were rescued by the Ada from the rig
ging.

st. MalO. France. Nov. 19.-The exact

there were about 20 first-class passen-
gers. including several English people.
Among the latter were the Honorable
Mrs. Butler, sister Of Lord Lanes
borough, and Colonel Toilet. 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 Eng

London, Nov. 19.-With passengers
and crew numbering more than 100.
the Southwestern Railways cross
channel steamer Hilda foundered, this
morning and the majority of the per-
sons on board were drowned
The Hilda left Southampton, Friday
night. for st. Malo on the north coast
of France. Her passage was greatly
delayed by fog in the channel. and
when nearing st. Malo she ran into a
severe snow storm apparently missed
her course and foundered on the rocks
off Jardin lighthouse. three miles from
ST. MalO.
The company's steamer Ada, out
ward from ST. MalO, rescued five of the
passengers and one of the crew. These
are now on the way to Southampton
ard it is believed are the only surviv-
ors. though an unconfirmed report
reached Paris that 70 had been saved.
The crew numbered Is and there were
about 100 passengers, all Frenchmen,
the majority being onion dealers from
st. Briac and neighborhood.
4 telegram from st. Servan, adj
joining the town of St. Malo, gives the
few particulars yet availa BILE. The Hill
da was near st. Malo, Saturday morn
ing. She struck the rocks at 4 o'clock,
Sunday morning. in the roadstead off
the island of Cezembre. She had
missed the tide owing to bad weather
and fog. The majority of the crew and
passengers were asleep at the time.
Two boats were lowered, one of
which containing five men arrived at
Servan. The second boat was picked I'D
empty at st. Cast, where 10 bodies were
washed ashore. The top of the Hilda's
funnel and her mast are visible at low
tide. according to the telegram from
st. Servan.
The Southwestern Railway Co. is as
yet unable to give list of the Hilda's
passengers. but they say that score
booked passage at stations between
London and Southampton and that to
the best of their knowledge so persons
were drowned and only six saved.
The company is still without reliable
details as to how the disaster hap
pened. Its agent at ST. Malo only
briefly reported:
1.-The Ada has put back and reports
the Hilda is a total wreck at Les
Portes reef outside Jardin lighthouse.
The Ada's boat saved five onion deal
ers and q seaman named Grinier out
of the rigging. They appear to be the
only survivors,"
