NOT ONE WAS SAVED
 WHEN SECHELT SANK TWENTY-SIx PERiSHED OFF VAN
 COUVER ISLAND. Nos Trace of the Wrecked Vessel
 Discoverable.

Victoria, March 26.-EveTy person on board the small wooden steamer Se- chelt. that capsized off Beachey Head. Vancouver island. during the gale yes terday. perished and apparently the sea gulped every morsel of the vessel
 It is not known positively now many persons were on the Sechelt when she left Victoria for SOoke. The prevail ing report is that there were thirty. nine; thirteen passengers were landed at Williams Head. and that twenty two passengers and the crew of four went down with the boat. of the thir- teen passengers who landed at William Head. ten were Greeks and Italians bound for railroad construction camp at Peddar bay. Frank McKenna. aged 21. formerly of the United States navy also landed when the Sechelt left Will liam Head.
 The seas were running high. hail and rain falling, and a heavy mist pre- vailed The consensus of reports is that the vessel swung around into the trough of sea and hung this way about six minutes, when the wind peared to strike her full brOadside. She keeled over and disappeared al- most instantly. Owing to weather con- ditions. all the passengers were shut up in their cabins and must have been carried below when the vessel fOun- dered.

GUARDING THE HORROR.

Within the building man on the ninth floor stationed himself at the door of one of the elevators with a club and kept back the girls who stampeded to the wire cage Thirty were admitted to the car at time. They were taken down as fast as pos sible
 The call for ambulances was fol- flowed by successive appeals for police until over 500 patrolmen had arrived to cope with a crowd numbering tens Of thousands. a mixture of the nor bidly curious and the half crazed rela- tives of friends of the victims.
 hundred mounted policemen had to charge the crowd repeatedly to keep it back
 Led by Fire Chief Croker a squad of firemen stormed the stairways and access to the building at o'clock. Two search lights in the buildings op- posite lighted the way for the fighters, who aseended to the top floors.
 Fifty charred bodies were found on the ninth floor. They lay iT every possible posture. some were so badly burned that recognition was impossi- ble. Half a dozen were nude. the flesh hanging in shreds from the bones A woman with her hair burned away, her

At d ninth floor window man and a woman appeared. The man embraced the woman and kissed her. Then he hurled her to the street and jumped.
 Both were killed.

 One girl jumped into horse blanket held by firemen and policemen. The blanket ripped like cheese cloth. and the body was mangled almost beyond
 recognition. Another dropped into a tarpaulin held by three men. Her
 weight tore it from their grasp and she struck the street. breaking almost
 every bone in her body.
 Almost at the same time man som ersaulted down upon the shoulder of Ia policeman holding a tarpaulin. He glanced off, struck the sidewalk and was picked up dead.

RESCuING STUDENTS.

On the tenth floor of building ad joining the burned structure is the law department of New York university Here twenty odd students were listen ing to a lecture by Frank H. Sommer, a former sheriff of Essex county. New Jersey. He saw the girls trapped on the roof He led the class to the roof of the university quarters. where he found two ladders. The boys seized these and bore them down two flights to the roof of an intervening building, swarmed out of the windows and raised them to the roof of the burning struc- ture. Forty girls were brought down in safety.
 Hyman MeZcher. a cutter. slid down an elevator cable ten stories and was found alive at the bottom, standing in water to his armpits.
 Just how many trips the elevator made will never be ascertained. There are varying reports of the heroism of the elevator men. but it is impossible to night to learn if the lifts were op- erated to the last possible moment.

OTHER THINGS
 REBELS WANT Resignation of Mexican Cab-
 incl Only a Beginning THE ELIMINATION OF DIAz
Governors of States Must Be Elective Instead of Appointive Officers-Un- easi ess Continues At Juarez.

Fl Paso. March 25-Whether the resignation of Diaz' cabinet will have 1 the effect of ending the instruction in Mexico will depend upon the re- forms which are expected immediate Iy to be announced. and also on what part Diaz himself expects to take in the future of the country.
 The insurrecto junta made this an- nouncement today while couriers were messages to Madero Madero will be fully advised of the developments in Mexico City. and his reply is ex- pected to have an important influ- ence on future events.
 In the meantime. it is expected that the insurgents have no intention of slackening their activities. as the war is being waged to "oust Diaz, and not merely the cabinet"
 Madero is quoted hy the junta as being emphatic in the position that the insurrectos will never lay down their arms until Diaz agrees that his
  try shall hold new election.
 "All the governors of the states must resign next" said Garza. the insurrecto secretary of state. As the appointees of Diaz they are as much part of his machinery as the cabi- net. When the governors resign and the states are allowed by election to elect their own officials, then we may look for a new Mexico"
 Although anxiety in JuareZ was less keen today. bands of insurrectos were seen about the city. Americans north of the river saw insurrectos a dred armed men also had been seen fifteen miles south of JuareZ
 Converse and Blatt. now held in the Juarez jail. were arrested by Mexicans and taken across the bOr- der. according to the report of sur veyors who went over the ground thirty-two miles east of here today.
 The surveyors. reported that the Americans were captured about 200 feet north of the nearest bank of the river. The report then states that the Mexicans entered the Uni ted States to try to capture the boys.
 A shipment of twenty-five cars of steel rails. was made from Fl Paso to JuareZ on Saturday for the re- building of the Mexican Northwest ern line to Casas Grandes. Other materials will he sent to the front and the line will be repaired as rap- idly as possible.
 It is expected that the first train on the Northwestern in two weeks will be sent out today. Scouts who have been out along the line report ed that no insurrectos were seen at any point on the Northwestern.

THOUSANDS PARTICIPATED
His Feeling Allusion To His Enemies A Suggestion for the Protection of Gov ernment Officials Against Assassins of Character.

Seattle. March 2J.-The citizens of Seattle tonight paid a tribute of re- spect and sympathy to Richard A. Ballinger. for two years secretary Oe the interior and during most of that time involved in a bitter contro- versy over his policy of eonserva- tion
 The great dining room of the Hotel Washington was thrown open to the public and there. attended by Mayor George W. DiIling and the presidents of ten commercial and social or ganizations, Mir. Ballinger received the greetings of friends and sympa- thizers.
 A procession of people numbering several thousand passed along the re- ceiving line.
 Mir Ballinger in an address. said: You cannot stop to curse every eur which barks at your heels. In view of my experience in public office at Washington. I have wondered how it is possible to call good men. with prosperous. happy lives. into the dan gers of public service and give them just and secure protection against scandal mOngers and political in triguers. The only way. it seems to me, to protect honest and trustwor- thy public officials against such as- sassins of character is to make it the duty of the attorney general to prosecute at the public expense the wicked defamer of his official acts"

Berkeley. Cal, March 25.-Theodore Roosevelt delivered the second of his series of Earl lectures to an enthu- siastic audience. estimated to number close to 10000. Every foot of space in the big amphitheater was filled and hundreds were unable to gain entrance to the enclosure
 'The Home and the Child" was the subject of Col Roosevelts address, but he widened his text to cover the broad aspects of citizenship and civic duties. even making a casual refer ence to woman suffrage.
 Commenting upon the fear that this country's predilection for the e-impor- tation of its art might lead to the importation of its children. he assert ed that statistics showed that this country was going the way of France, Americas increase of population com ing from abroad. not from it's own people.
 "All thought of training the next generation" he vigorously declared. ''is wasted thought if there is not to be next generation to train. The first duty of any nation is to per- petuate it's own life and its own blood. If you do not believe in your own stock, you're not good Ameri- cans. you're not good patriots; and if you do not believe in it, I won't regret your speedy extinction"

NOTHING TO DO BUT DIE.

All efforts proved almost useless and practically all who escaped either climbed to the roof and scrambled thence to the roof of a building oc- cupied by the American Book com panv adjoining. or fled in the first rush for safely before the crush and smoke grew too thick.
 The building stands tonight as a shell intact. The partitions and ar chitectural tiling between the floors are sound. and it is impossible for one who sees it to imagine how the flames in so short a space of time could have wrought such havoc.
 Seven hundred hands. 500 of them women. were employed by the shirt waist company They sat in rows. at whirring machines. the tables before them piled with flimsy cloth. the floor filtered with lint and the air itself full of flying. inflammable dust.
 The first rush of flames was almost an explosion. catching the operators at their chairs, and their lungs were scared by inhaling the flames. Oth- CTS rushed for elevator shafts after the cars had made the last trip. still others were pushed off the inadequate interior fire escape.

WHAT PAssERsBY HEARD.

Pedestrians going home through Washington Place at ten minutes of five o'clock were scattered by the whizz of something rushing through the air before them. Then came a horrible thud on the pavement and a body was flattened on the flag stones. Wayfarers on the opposite side of the street shaded their eyes against the setting sun and saw the windows of the three top floors black with girls crowding to the sills.
 Don't jump" yelled the crowd. but the girls had no alternative. The pressure of the maddened hundreds behind urging them on and their own fears were too strong. They began to fall to the sidewalk.
 Four alarms were rung within fif- teen minutes. Before the engines could respond and before nets could be stretched and ladders raised, the girls had fallen from the eighth and ninth floors so heavily that they crushed through the very streets to the vaults below In an hour the fire was out and in half an hour 1t had done its work Probably the death list was completed in twenty minutes.
 The building stands on corner with an exposure on two sides, but the only fire escape was in the in terior. opening on light air shaft. In all there were seven exits, the single fire escape. two freight elevators at the rear. two passenger elevators in front and two stairways.

SIX DIED TOGETHER.

Six girls fought their way to a window Of the ninth floor over the bodies of fallen fellow workers and crawled out on an eight inch stone ledge. More than loo feet above the sidewalk they crawIed to a swinging electric feed wire spanning Washing ton Place. The leaders paused for their companions to catch up at the end of the ledge Six grabbed the wire simultaneously. It snapped like a rotten whip cord and they crashed down to death.
 A l3-years old girl hung for three minutes by her finger tips to the sill of a tenth floor window. A tongue of flame licked her fingers and she dropped into the life-net held by fire men. Two women fell into the net at almost the same moment. The strands parted and the two were added to the death list. A girl threw her pocket book, then her hat, and then hef furs from a tenth floor window. A moment later her body came whirling after them to death.

New York. March 25-One hundred and forty-eight persons, nine -tenths of them girls from the East Side, were crushed to death on the pave ments, smothered by smoke or burned to a crisp this afternoon in the worst fire since the destruction of the steamer Slocum fin 1904.
 one hundred and forty-one bodies had been removed from the ruins at midnight and seven of the forty injured died in hospitals. This, it is believed. completes the list of dead. most of whom were unidenti- fled. Grief -crazed relatives are haunting the morgues.
 Nearly all the victims were en- ployed by the Triangle Shirtwaist company. on the eighth, ninth and tenth floors of a ten story and loft building at 23 Washington Place, in the downtown wholesale district The partners of the firm, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck. escaped, carrying over an adjoining roof Blanck's two young daughters and d governess. There was not an outside fire escape on the building
 How the fire started perhaps will never be known The corner of the eighth floor. the point of origin, and the three upper floors only were swept.
 On the ninth floor 'fifty bodies were found. Sixty-three or more were crushed by jumping, and more than thirty clogged the elevator shafts The loss of property will not exceed SlO0,O00

In an office building across Washington Place, where scores of men detained be- yond office hours. working at their desks. One of them saw girl rush to window and throw up a sash. Behind her danced a seething curtain of yellow flame. She climbed to the sill. and stood in black outline against the light, hesitating. then as a last touch of futile thrift, she slipped her chateiain bag over her wrist and jumped. Her body went whirling downward through the woven wire glass of a canopy to the Tagging be- low. Others followed and flashed through the air like rockets
 It was eighty five feet from the eighth floor to the ground: ninety five feet from the ninth floor and ll0 feet from the cornice. The crackle of flames drowned their cries.
