MANCHU PRINCES
STILL UNDECIDED
WA 1T CHINESE COURT TO ABDI-

THE CAPITAL.

Pekin, China, Jan. 1e-Discussion
Of he question of the emperor's abdi-
cation continues, but up to tonight
has rot resulted in any decision be-
ing reached. The court is unable to
reconcile the conflicting advice of the
different factions.
Some Manchu leaders urge that the
emperor abdicate and remain in Pc
kin, while the Chine Sc contend that
abdication would be futile unless the
court departs from the capital.
The armistice between the imperial
ard retel forces is looked upon by
military observers as pure fiction. Dr.
Wu Ting Fang disclaims all military
responsibility, while the imperlafist
suppression or disorders is REGARDED
as SIMPLY warfare under another

A HOsTELRYY At At
REVERE BEACH
Is DESTROYED
HUNDREDS OF GUESTS RESCUED
IN NIGHT CLOTHING BY QUICK
WORK CT FIRE FIGHTERS.
Old Building Has Sheltered Man
Famous Personages, such az King
Edward WI, Webster and Emperor
Pedro.

Boston, Jan. 16.-The Revere house
one of the oldest and most famous ho-
tels in New England, was partially
destroyed by fire TO-DAY. Quick work
by the employees and the firemen
saved all the guests, although there
We're many narrow escapes. The loss
is estimated at 100000. A systema-
tic search was made of he ruins. but
no bodies were found.
The hotel, which fronts on Bow
doin Square, and which has sheltered
such guests as the Prince of Wales,
later King Edward VII, Daniel Web
sCer, Jenny Lind, Emperor Pedro of
rail, and Admiral Pasha of the Tur-
Klsh navy, was a fyestory structure
OF stone and brick. Starting in the
rear OF the Grorto, cafe in the low
er part of the hotel, the fire gained
rapid headway, and in a few minutes
the flames had leaped up the stair
ways and elevator wells to the upper
stories.
Employees Of the hotel, policemen
and firemen aroused the sleeping
guests. Many were carried through
the flames and smoke-filled Railways,
and over the ladders to safety. Sew
eral men and women escaped by
climbing over to the roofs of adjonl-
ing buildings.
EAShe fire escapes were lined with
men and women, and hastily raised
ladders were the means of rescue for
more than score. Clad only in their
night clothes, majority of guests
received shelter in nearby hotels.
From streets covered with nearly a
foot of slush, the firemen fought hard
to keep the flames in check, as, for a
time, it was feared that not only the
entire hotel but the National Lancers
hall and Bullfinch street fire house,
adjoining, would be destroyed.
At the Bowdoin hotel and Hotel Rex
ford, on Cambridge street smoke filled
the rooms, and the guests hastily
sought refuge in other quarters. The
fire was confined, however, to the Re-
we're house annex, on Bullfnch street,
although the main hotel was badly
damaged by smoke and water.
Hoseman Xippenberger fell from a
65-foot ladder, striking on picket
fence. Several of his ribs were
broken.
