the building about O'Clock this
morning, and the flames and smoke
spread rapidly, cutting off the exits
from the building. The five who

at the same table, and later address
the guests and members of the asso-

sAll in the line had kept their places
through the night; and looked weary
and haggard Because OF the demand
for seats at the banquet, the associa-
tion issued credential cards to each
member, which, in the order of their
receipt when the doors were opened
today, were exchanged for numbered
tickets, emitting the holder to his
choice OF a seat at the banquet. Al
huge chart, showing the arrangement
OF the tables, facilitated the selection.
Through the night the line was COM
posed of Office boys, under clerks and
porters. each of whom was provided
with check covering the cost Of the
ticket.
Long before the hour of opening the
line was augmented until it stretched
to State street, block distant, and
before that hour holders of tickets re-
placed their weary representatives.
