to turn on the water through the fire
hose This was impossible for the rea-
son that within fve minutes after the
alarm was given the Hankow was
ablaxe fore and aft.
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed down
the ganRway, the ladies in their night

Responding to signals, the British
cruiser Flora and the naval dockyard
distpached contingents of engines and
assistants. The floating brigsdes o.
fremen made heroic efforts to extin
guish the flames, which leaped to :
he'll. ht of over so feet.
The Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into frightfuI panic. Horri
flying shrieks and cries to save theil
lives were heard, but escape was i'm
possible, owing to the infsmmable ma
ture Of the cargo. Hundreds wer'
burned to death and many other
jumped iato the harbor and wer'
drowned.

IN THE NEW COUNTRY.


~~
The small Office Of the Society for the
Assistance OF Hungarian immigrants,
which stands opposite the Battery IN
New York, was crowded TO the full
with host OF new arrivals. The men.
dressed In small, beribboned round hats,
tight-fittlng coats and leather trousers
tucked in the tops of high boots, stood
calmly smoking their long stemmed
pipes, says writer In the Chicago News.
The women, arrayed In foreign cottons
and woolens, were even more placid and
unconcerned than the men.
A cab drove up In front of the plain
brick building, and short, stout wom-
an. dark OF face and evidently foreign
by descent, stepped into the crowded
room with a rustic OF silks.
"You promised me girl today" she
said. sharply, In English, although with
a pronounced foreign accent
I'VE have only one girl" he replied,
but she wants sixteen dollars, and she
isn't worth half OF IT."
IAN OF them want more than they're
worth, anyway. Let me see her"
"Anna Raadznikl p called the clerk.
A tall, thin woman, with a plain,
dark shawl looped over her head like q
sunbonnet, entered the room. Her
cheeks were bronzed, and her v hole ap-
pearance, from her long, strong arms to
her fat chest, was that Of a woman

The immigrant shrugged her should

upon her interlocutor. Then she gave
start of surprise, and smiled
