FIRE HORROR IN NEW YORK
Nineteen Persons Literally Roasted
to Death in Awful Tenement
House Blaze.

New York, March 15.-Nineteen per-
sons were burned to death in fire which
destroyed the tive-story tenement house
at 105 Allen street early on Tuesday.
More than 40 were injured and only a
few of the sleeping inmates escaped I'M
hurt. Several of those who persisted
were roasted to death in plain view OF
thousands in the streets. Coroner
GoldenkranZ declared, after an investi-
cation, that he had reason to believe the
blaze was the work of an incendiary.
He issued subpoenas for the fire mar
shall, tenement house and building in
spectors and health and police officials
to appear before him at the inquest
Thursday. The fire started in the base
ment and spread with frightful rapidity
to the roof. The victims were caught in
traps of flames, the halls and exits being
rendered impossible in few minutes
after the blaze started. The building
was one of the usual crowded tenements,
and the disaster was the worst in the
history of the east side. The district at
torney's Office has begun an investiga-
ton to place the blame for the great loss
of life. Chief Croker of the fire depart
ment asserts that the police and the ten
ement house departments are to blame
for the violations Of the fire escape law.
The tenement house department Off
Gals, however, say that the blame is on
the shoulders of the fire commissioner.
Of the 10 dead bodies, those Of boy
and two girls remain unidentified.

STRIKERS ADMIT DEFEAT.
Subway and Elevated Employees in
New York Apply for
Reinstatement.

New York, March 13.-Admitting de-
feat in their fight against the INTERIOR
ough company, the old employees of the
subway and elevated railway crowded
the offices of the company seeking their
former positions. Some 5000 men ap-
piled for reinstatement, but not more
than 500 were accepted, the officials
claiming to be satisfied with the men
who had enabled them to break the
strike and announcing that in future the
rules as to sobriety would be more
strictly adhered to. All applicants were
notified that they would have to pass the
physical examination and go to work as
new men, which means that those who
went on strike would lose their senior
ity and the increased pay that they had
won for length of service. Messrs.
Jencks and Pepper, the strike leaders,
admitted that the fight had been lost,
and advised the men to get back their
positions if they could. AS for them
selves, the officers said they would not
again work for the company. Mr..
Jencks held the press responsible for
the result, contending that the papers
had aroused hostile sentiment. The
strikers bitterly denounce their leaders,
saying the men were deceived by them.

THE CALIFORNIA STORM.
Wide Area Suffers from Heavy Rains
Damage Exceeding 100000
Is Reported.

Los Angeles, CAL, March 15.-Tuesday
dawned clear and cool in Los Angeles,
and it was apparent that the great storm

the southern coast for 48 hours was
over. AS far as has been learned, but
one life has been lost as a result of the
storm, that of a laborer who was
drowned near Cajon pass. The total
damage scattered over wide stretch of
territory is conservatively estimated at
an amount in excess of half million
dollars. This includes the damage to
streets, buildings. bridges and other
property In this city, the loss to the
steam and electric railways and the
damage to wharves, piers and shipping
all along the coast. The damage from
the flood waters to the streets in this
city is estimated by the superintendent of
streets to be more than 100000. Pave
ment and curbstones have been torn up
and washed away, sewers and storm
drains broken and miles of streets COW
cred with thick slime of sand, gravel and
petroleum, washed down from the oil
region above the city.

at 100000. Two piers and one wharf
were ruined and extensive beach i'm
provements in course of construction
were pounded to pieces. At Long Beach

crete was also damaged. The loss at this

prisoners and the wounded left in the
hospitals, comes somewhat nearer the
latest Japanese estimate that the total
Russian losses were 155.u00. At this
rate Kuropatkin cannot have more
than 100000 effective fighting men
with him. The Japanese losses have
been remarkably light in view of the
length and severity of the fighting
The total is reported at 4l,222.

THE COLORADO CONTEST.

supreme court Monday ruled that the
joint convention of the legislature can
not adopt the report of Senator Alexan-
der of the gubernatorial contest commit
tee, declaring that neither Alva Adams
nor former Gov. Peabody was elected
governor at the November election. 1t
is the decision of the supreme court that

Steele holding that the assembly should
itself rule upon the motion to adopt the
Alexander report. The legislature took
no action or the contest Monday.
