HYSTER|CAL FROM
THE FIRE STORY
Thirty Women Overcome at
Memorial Meeting.
MANY TAKEN TO HOSPITALS.
Recital OF Horrors OF the Washington
Place Fire Affects Many Women
at a Meeting in Grand
Central Palace.

New York.-Thirty women were
removed from a memorial mass
meeting for the victims of the Wash
ington Place fire in Grand Central
Palace, suffering so terribly from
hysteria that ambulance surgeons
were called to attend them and to
remove some to the hospital.
Over 1000 persons We're present
at the meeting, mostly women, whose
nerves were unstrung by the recital
which some OF the speakers made Of
Saturdays fire horror The meeting
was under the auspices of the Shirt
waist ard Dressmakers' Union.
Arrangements for a funeral dem
onstration, in which 10000 sym
pathizers will be asked to join; iden-
tifcation of four more bodies, leav-
ing but sixteen now unknown; the
swelling of the relief fund to nearly
$4,000 and the effort of the district
attorneys Office and the fire marshal
to fix the blame for the catastrophe
were the chief events OF the day.
1t is proposed to take the bodies of
most of the 143 victims through the
streets of the city Monday in a great
funeral procession, headed by a
chorus of seventy singers from the
Jewish Choristers Union followed by
the 600 surviving employees of the
Triangle Waist Company, and as
many sympathizlng workers as can
be induced to join.
1t is suggested that the procession
pass from the morgue by the Wash
ington Place building where the fire
occurred.
Twenty-Five survivors told their
stories of the catastrophe to assist
ants in the district attorneys office
and others appeared before the fire
marshal.
Dnah Lufschitz told the district
attorney that when the fire alarm
was first given she signalled fire,

END OF PEvOLT IN SIGHT
Reeves to Return and Lead the Feder-
al Forces--DIsz Govern
ment Yielding.

Washington, d. C.-Advices re-
ceived here from the City of Mexico
go far toward clearing up the OBJ
scurity that has surrounded the
situation in the southern republic.
They make 1t apparent that the
Diaz government has pretty COM
pletely yielded to the more moderate
element, and that the Limantour-De
La Barra Cabinet that Is coming into
power is to be given opportunity TO
compose differences in the country,
and that the Madero family may be
brought into cooperation in this Af-
fort.
The most important indication OF
this purpose Is the definite announce
ment that General Reyes is to come
home from France, and that he will
not enter the Cabinet. He will, in
stead, take charge of military opera
tions for the Government IN North
ern Mexico, the seat OF the most
alarming disturbances.
Reyes is in many ways the most
potent personal force with the Mexi-
can people. He possesses at once
the affection Of the army and the con
fdence of the people. There are
those who insist that II he takes COM
mand Of the Federal forces the
Maderists will to a considerable force
desert the revolutionary standard.
Nothing could better demonstrate
the observation of the old Diaz
methods than the return OF Reyes.
Suggestive of the possible develop
ments Is the insistent report that De
la Barra, on his way to Mexico City,
will confer with francesca l. Madero,
probably at some place on the MeXi-
can border. De In BarTa conferred
In New York with the head of the
Madero family, the father Of Fran
cesco there is every reason TO be
lieve that negotiations OF much
significance are actually in progress
between the Maderos and the new
leaders.
President Taft's purpose in send
ing the American troops to the bor-
der is becoming clearer with each
days events, and it is growing ap-
parent that the moral effect Of that
move Is largely responsible for the
establishment of compromise
regime that may yet restore peace to
the country.

Mexico City.-With civil war rack

President Porfrio Diaz, aged, infirm
ruler of Mexico, stood before the
Mexican Congress and declared his
readiness TO concede the main points
demanded by his revolving people.
Trembling with age and weakness,
the ruler, in a scarcely audible voice,
read his annual message to Congress,
recommending the reforms which
have raised the red flag Of revolution
in his dominions.
He declared that he bowed to the
public opinion" and conceded
the main points urged by the revolu,
tlonists. His specific recommenda'

legislature and brilliant gathering
of government officials listened to thd
renunciation of the iron tyrant. Not
a sound interrupted the reading OF
the lengthy document, and when the
President concluded a great sigh OF
relief was the only demonstration.
Ministers, ambassadors and govern
ment officials declare that they see
the end OF the present trouble in
Diaz's terms of surrender. The whis-
pered verdict as the ruler was as
sisted from the congressional hall
was that Diaz win resign immediate
ly upon the restoration of peace.
All Mexico City, usually riot OF
eayety of color, sank into somber
gloom in the expectations Of a pos
sible defiance by the President.
Crowds gathered in the streets to
await the news from the Congress,
and when the details of the message
we're announced they filed away
silently. without demonstration.

JUDGE O'GORMAN
CHOSEN SENATOR
Noted New York Jurist Will
Succeed Depew.
GETS THE INSURGENTS VOTES
Mr.. O'Gorman Made a Fine Record
on Supreme Bench Of New York
Clty--For 30 Years One Of
Tammany's Best Orators.

Albany, ~ Y.-By an unanimous
vote OF 112 of ia Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature, Justice
James A. O'Gorman, Of New York,
was elected United States Senator to
nll the vacancy caused by the expira-
ton of the term of Chauncey NJ. De
pew He is the first Democrat to be
sent to the Senate from the Empire
State since Edward Murphy was
chosen in 1893.
Fifteen Of the 30 insurgents re-
mained out of the caucus which pre-
ceded the election. All of them voted
for Justice O'Gorman on joint bal
lot. When the election was over,
like Democrats OF old, the insurgents
and regulars threw their hats in the
air together and agreed to work
shoulder to shoulder for the accom-
plishment Of the important measures
which have been sidetracked by the
Senatorial squabble.
Confusion that almost approached
disorder and thunderous demonstra4
tions of relief marked the termina-
ton OF the remarkable deadlock,
which has held the Legislature prac-
tically at a standstill for "A days
l01s weeks. The end Of the long,
wearing struggle came in the Council
room Of the City Hall, with the legis-
iators, packed like sardines in box,
and with the Democratic leaders
standing by with eagle eye, worried
almost to the last for fear their plans
for a settlement would at the final
moment be upset.
A recess has been taken until April
II to give workmen a chance to re-
pair the damaged Capitol. Meantime
the leaders will busy themselves with
some of the important administra-
tion measures, and it is expected that
when the lawmakers reconvene on
the day after Easter legislation VIII
be put through with a rush.
Governor Dix, whose business ad-
ministration has been imperiled by
the deadlock, has expressed deep re-
/ lief that the warfare has ceased. His
expressions of qualification have
found echoes in the statements of
practically all the leaders, Republi-
| can as well as Democratic.

FIRE VICTIMS NUMBER 1A
Sinteen-year-od Girl Who Jumped
From the Ash Building
is Last to Die.

New York.-The death OF Sarah
Kupla, 16-year-old girl, who jumped
from the eighth floor of the Asch
building during the recent fire hor'
ror, brought the list of victims up to
a total of 144. The girls back was
broken and she had been unconscious
ever since the fatal leap.
The Identification of another girls
body by strange arrangement OF
buttons on her shoe brought the list
of unnamed down TO IA. There
seems little chance OF further identi-
fication and the Charities Board has
made arrangements to bury them In
the cemetery of the Evergreens in
a plot owned by the city.
Assistants of the district attorneys
Office and Fire Marshal Beers, who
are conducting Investigations into the
disaster, besides visiting the Asch
Building, further examined survivors.
Contributions to the relief fund
amounts to more than s5S,O00.
An aged woman who said she was
the mother of Annie Colletti, one OF
the fire victims, told the coroner that
when her daughters body was re.
turned from the morgue for burial
$1,000 which she says the young
woman had sewed in her skirt was
missing She explained that her
daughter was afraid to trust banks
and always carried large sums OF
money on her person.
