VESSEL BURNED
Three Members of the Crew of inc Crystal Stream Were
 Burned 10 Death
CAUGHTINTHEIRBUNKS

St Johns, N. B., June 21.-The steamer Crystal Stream was burned to the waters edge in Washademock lake last night. and three members of the crew were burned to death, ac- cording to adyices received here to- day.
 The men were in their hunks and were unable to make their escape after the flames broke out.
 The cause of the fire is not yet known. The dead:
 Allen Logan, deckhand.
 William Logan, fireman.
 Fred Smith, deekhand.
 Herbert McLeery, mate of the steamer, was badly burned while Arr chibald Belyea, a deckhand, and Mrs Chase, stewardess, received slight burns.
 The Crystal Stream was regular river boat plying on the St John river between St John and Cores island. She had reached the island last night on the up-river trip and had moored there for the night, most of the crew having turned in before the fire was discovered. From he meagre details which have reached here, 1t is learn- ed that the flames spread with great rapidity and that the victims were completely surrounded by fire before they were aroused, so that it was im- possible for them to reach place of safety.
 The Crystal Stream was regula- tion river type of steamer, propelled by sidewheels. She was brought here about five years ago from New York. She was wooden boat and registered 167 tone net. She was built at Bulls Ferry. N J., ill 1873.

HAVE GREAT POWER.
Governor Given Authority to Suspend
 Newspapers and Disperse Meetings.

St Petersburg, June 21.-An i'm perial ukase has been issued to the governors of the provinces of Arch angel, Noygorod, Olnetz, Pskoff, Ry- azan, Smolensk, Tver and Yaroslav, according them special powers, en- titling them to suspend newspapers, disperse meetings, banish undesira- ble persons and take other measures for the maintenance of public securi- ty by administrative process, without having resort to courts, and to in- flict punishment up to three months Imprisonment and $500 fine.
 These provinces include practical ly the entire area of Russia where some form of martial law has not already been proclaimed. The ad- ministrative powers of the governors correspond with those given under state of reinforced security" The step was taken to head of agrarian disorders, the possibility of which it is believed greatly increased the de- termination of the social democrats, social revolutionists and members of the group of toll to issue a joint manifesto to the nation, urging the people not to accept the "artisto- cratic regime contemplated by the new election law" but to defend the idea of popular representation by force. The decision to issue the joint proclamation was taken during the night and the text is now being drafted. The national socialists, or social revolutionists, have decided to issue a separate proclamation on similar lines.
 The delegates of the railroad or ganizations have for several days been vainly endeavoring to hold conference in St Petersburg. The police have made wholesale arrests and house searches among railroad officials and employees. The railroad men contemplated declaring a gen eral strike, but they are awaiting more favorable opportunity.
