Nineteen Persona Are Dead and a 8core or More Injured as Result of Some Ones Carelessness. Nineteen persons dead, two score Injured, some so seriously that they may die, and nearly 200 persons temporarily homeless, is In brief the story of New Yorks latest fire horror. The victims of the disaster were typical east side people. The scene, a typical tenement, and the Incidents attending It were In many ways peculiar to that cosmopolitan quarter. To apparently reckless displays of heroism shown by firemen, policemen and volunteer rescuers alone is due the fact that the number of dead Is not greater. Two hundred persons herded In the double-decke- r tenement big house, were sleeping when flames from an overturned or exploding kerosene lamp In the basement spread throughout tbe structure apd wrapped the entire building In flames, almost before an alarm had been sounded. The long narrow Iron fire escapes which ran down the building on each of its exposed sides had been made receptacles of rubbish of all descriptions, and In many cases they were little better than useless. It was found also that every fire escape platform on the building had In It a blind" or a square piece of board which fits Into the opening through which the ladder passes In the grated floor. The result of these obstructed escapes was evident when It was found that nearly all of the dead belonging on the top floor of the building were roasted before they were able to reach the ground, Another case of negligency which was responsible for the loss ol some lives was an Immense movable skylight at the head of a ladder leading to the roof. Battened securely and partially covered by Ice, this skylight resisted all efforts to force It and a pile of the bodies of tbe (lead lay under It when the horror was over. five-stor- WHERE MAD MULLAH RULES. , last Harry Harrison, a guard at dhe pen-- ' ltentlary, may lose bis arm as the result of an accident while cleaning a pistol, the weapon being discharged and tbe bones ot his arm badly shattered, A mass meeting was held In Spring-villlast week to discuss tbe advls-- ability of Installing a system of water' works tor that town.

JAPS WILL WELCOME PEACE. three-quar- Two-third- UTAH. 'W " Cannot Republicans s Vote. Mus(er The discussion of tbe Dominican treaty In executive session of the senate Tuesday resulted in the drawing of party lines. The Democrats, who have been reported as likely to support the treaty, will return to the fold, It Is Bald, and on both sides of the chamber It is admitted there Is little prospect that the convention will be ratified. Because of the doubt of the ratification, which was talked of seriously Tuesday for the first time, the suggestion was made that action should oe postponed until after an investigation has been mae of all the conditions In Santo Domingo, including the character of the claims and the stability of tbe Dominican government and the force that would be required to keep Jt intact. This proposition came from the Democrats and credit for originating it has been given to Senator Morgan. It has not met with favor because of the Indifference to the fate of the treaty which was expressed by a number of Republican senators. So' fay as the propriety of the senate making an investigation is concerned, It was said the step would be unprecedented, and that an inquiry, If one is to be had, should be made through the president. It Is understood that the subject of appointing a commission to make the Inquiry has not yet been presented to the president, and It seems assured that there will he no postponement of the vote unless such action meets the approval of the president, which Is not deemed likely. .Feared SPANISH FORK, " Castro Looking for Troublt.
