100000 FIRE IN MOBILE.
Flames Originated i'm Theatre-One
Dead, Several Injured.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 9.-Fire, which
started somewhere on the stage of
the Mobile Theater shortly after $50
o'clock this morning, completely de-
stroyed the building. Several build
ings adjoining were damaged, princi-
pally by water.
One fireman was killed and two
seriously injured by falling wall,
while several were slightly bruised
and burned.
The fire started on the stage, and
although smoke was noticed issuing
from the top Of the structure by
roomers in an adjoining hotel, no at
tention was paid to it.
The fire had been burning half an
hour before the alarm was turned in,
and when the firemen arrived the en-
tire interior was mass Of flames.
A high north wind was blowing
and brands were carried to other
structures in the vicinity, including
the county court house, which were
saved with difficulty.
At one time it was thought that the
business section of the city south of
Contin street was in danger.
The loss on the theater building
and contents is about $55, Other
losses will run the total to fully
100000.

SAY ADRIANopLE is STARVING.
Authorities Have ReQuisitioncd 81
Food--HaIf Ration Daily.

London, Jan. 9.-Onicial news re-
ceived by the Bulgarian delegations
describes the situation at Adrianople
as desperate. Several soldiers, who
deserted and succeeded in reaching
the headquarters of the allies, say the
town is in its last gasp. Provisions
are so scarce that the military author
tiles have requisitioned all the food
possessed even by private citizens,
and are making only one distribution,
comprising a half ration, daily.
Conditions have been rendered
more grave by the number Of sick
who crowd the hospitals, where the
attendance is inadequate. Thus the
death rate is very high The Bulga-
rians have allowed medicines and
Red Gross workers to enter under the
escort Of a Bulgarian detachment.
The commander Of he fortress has
declared he would rather see all die
of starvation than surrender the
town. That is why all who can are
endeavoring to escape. The Bulga-
rians believe that even independently
of any action the powers may take,
the question Of Adrianople soon will
be solved.
1t is understood Constantinople has
accepted the views Of Rechad Pasha,
who recently asked to be authorized
to re-convoke the conference, he be-
ing president for the next sitting. The
difficulty now lies in the determina-
tion Of the allies not to participate
unless they are notified in advance
what Turk Intends to propose.

cussion of unacceptable terms. hut

climbed the wall in the private garden of the
Vatican and threw himself thirty feet to the road
way because of monetary difficulties and the
gmallness of his wages. Twice today the Holy

pleasant duty this summer. His
friend, editor James Kelley has writ
ten him from Chicago, asking the
Capt. to arrange for the coming and
reception of a party of eight young
ladies, representing the Chicago Tri-
bune. They will sail from Seattle
either in June or July, and will spend
a week or two in Cordova and the
Copper river country. The Capt. has
been asked to arrange for their trans
portation and outline a program of
entertainment and sightseeing while
the young ladies are in Alaska. This
the gallant Capt. is prepared to do,
and with the undoubted result that
will be mutually agreeable. and in
structive, to all parties concerned.
Ever since Mr.. Kelley and his friends
spent couple of weeks in this section
they have all been boosting the coun-
try and have been anxious that others
should come and enjoy similar pleas
ures. The Chicago Tribune party
will be welcomed with outstretched
arms by Capt. La.hrop and all his
fortunate aides. 1t is likely that

Capt. Harry Moore had very re-
markable experience in coming over
from Valdez on the launch Union,
and is fortunate that he and his crew
of four are living to tell the tale.
They left our neighboring town on
Friday, April 4th. When they
reached Saw Mill bay they had their
first misfortune, in losing their rud-
der. They got things fixed up again
and started on Tuesday last, soon
eneountering a heavy storm. They
were lost in the storm and when there
was clearing they found themselves
near Cape Hinchinbrook. They were
blown 1870 miles southwest and lost
their mast and jib, and had the win
ows of the cabin broken. In order to
calm the waters and endeavor to get
into a safe harbor they threw all
their oil on the waters and tapped
the gasoline cans. For eighteen
hours they battled with the waves,
expecting each moment that they
would capsize and be sunk. But
they were enabled to miraculously
keep afloat until the weather cleared
up. Then they were compelled to fry
all the ham and bacon they had
aboard in order to get enough oil to
bring the launch into Cordova. Capt.
Moore has everything again in good
shape and will start tomorrow for
his destination, Juneau.
