SENATOR KNOX is ELIGIBLE.

Washington, Feb. 16.-By vote oil
173 to III, the house yesterday passed
the bill removing the bar to Senator
Knox's eligibility to the office of sec
rotary of state. This was the second
vote of the day on this measure, ant
the two were separated only by about
two hours time.
The first vote was taken on the bill
under general order for the expan

der, according to the standing rules Of
the house, a bill must receive two
thirds majority to insure its passage
The first vote stood 179 to 1873, the ma

the house committee on rules held 9
meeting which resulted in Mr.. Dial

Then they burst in here and announce

know 1t well; that 1t was simply

Mysterious disappearance always
have a fascination for the curious.
Probably to the end of time there will
be persons who believe that they know
what became of the French dauphin,
who, but for the revolution, would
have been Louis XVII Others will
maintain that the official record of his
death Is correct. The fate OF Arch
drae John of Austria is likely to re-
main as uncertain as that Of the
dauphin. The archduke renowned his
royal claims several years ago, and
sailed from London for South America
under the name of John Orth. Nothing
definite has since been heard of him
or of his ship, although he has been
reported as living in one part Of the
world or another, says Youths Com
panion. These reports have always
been unverifed. That the emperor
Francis Joseph, the head Of the family,
thinks his kinsman may still be living
was disclosed in a lawsuit in Switzer
land not long ago, when, in response
to inquiries by the court, 1t was an.
nounced that the emperor had ordered
that the fortune of Archduke John,
amounting to $S,0OO,00O, be kept intact
till 1917, when it may be divided
among the heirs.

and 300 people were burned to death
and many injured In fire which de-
stroyed the Flores theater in the city
of Acapulco. The news of the disas'
ter reached here last evening, tele-
graphic communications having been
destroyed Sunday night and yester-
day owing to the fact that the tele-
graph office adjoining the theater was
destroyed and all wires were put out
of commission.
The Flores theater was wooden
structure and Sunday night over one
thousand people crowded in 1t to wilt
ness a special performance given in
honor of Governor Damian Flores OF
the state of Guerriaria, who was visit
ing the port at that time.
One of the numbers of the program
consisted of series of moving pic
lures. While the operator was exhib-
iting these a film caught fire and a
blaze was quickly communicated to
some bunting which had been used
for decorative purposes. In an in
credibly short time the flames spread
to all parts of the structure.
There were but three narrow exits
and the panic stricken audience rush
ed to these, many falling and being
crushed to death, thus paving the
way to the street with bodies.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrifying and heart rending.
Owing to the rapidly with which
the fire spread and its intense heat,
1t was impossible to attempt rescue
work and those imprisoned were lit
orally roasted alive, as the fire burned
with little smoke and few were suffo-
Gated.
The efforts of the fire department
were confined to attempting to save
adjoining buildings and they succeed
ed so that the property loss was small
The telegraph office, postoffice and
custom house were damaged but all
of the government records and regis
tered mail was saved.
Yesterday pitiful scenes of grief
were being enacted on the streets OF
the little west coast port. Women,
men and children were wandering
from place to place hunting for rela-
tives or friends.
Many of the dead are from the first
families of the state, the affair at the
theater being a social event of con-
siderable Importance and calling out
the wealthiest and oldest families for
miles around. In some instances en-
tire families were wiped out of ex'
istence.
The municipal authorities have
caused large trenches to be dug and
into these the remains of the dead are
laid. According to kilograms received
from there, recognition of any of the
dead has been an impossibility owing
to the fact that the bodies were burn
ed in most cases to a crisp, so hot was
the fire.
kilograms sent to the American
consul at Acapulco by the Associated
Press asking for the names of the
Americans dead have as yet not been
replied to.
