A few steamers were still at work, and scores of firemen were still exploring the ‘burned buildings. Household furniture and property of every description littered the streets, and hundreds of those made home- less by the conflagration were vainly searching the ruins of their houses in the hope of finding something of value re- maining. Madison Park, just south of Cabot street, was completely covered with furniture and hheusehold goods piled in a confused mass several feet in height. Scores of police- men patrolled the burned district, and thou- sands of sightseers thronged outside the ropes. Twelve Acres Devasiated. _ A careful investigation this ‘morning shows that about twelve acres of ground were burned over, and half a million dol- lars’ worth of property destroyed—about 137 ~bulldings—over two-thirds of which were wooden structures, have been wholly destroyed and twenty-two more were par- tially burned. More than 75 per cent of the burned buildings are dwelling houses which were occupied by the poorer classes, }and 467 families, or more than 2,300 per- scns, are homeless. | The Boston Base Ball Association and the | city of Boston are the heaviest financial j losers. The property of the former was valued at $70,000, and is a total loss. The city’s loss is over $100,000. But one fatality has been reported, a three-months-old baby being suffocated on Berlin street. About seventeen persons | were injured, none of them seriously. The Most common injury is to the eyes, nearly all of the fire chiefs being affected by the smoke and intense heat. Nearly a dozen invalids residing in houses | now in ruins were conveyed to the hospitals during the fire, but none were injured or seriously affected by the transfer. The limits of the burned district extend from 54 Berlin street to Walpole street and to No. 8 Gfinnell street; from Grinnell and Sarsfleld, on the north side, to 31 Sarsfield; | then around in the rear of Sarsfield street to 1077 Tremont street, including all the | buildings on Walpole, Cunard and Coventry | streets, across Tremont street to No. 1082; then in the rear of Tremont to Sterling, and | Cabot, on the east side, where the fire was ! checked. From 41 Cabot street the ruins | extend westward through the block to | Tremont, thence along the south side of | Burke street to Berlin, and on the latter | thoroughfare as fur as Benson street. With- in this district every building is almost gutted or completely destroyed. Fire Breaks Out Aga Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning fire along the north side of Sterling street to | D | broke out again in the top of a brick block on the west side of Cabot street and burned | for an hour. The building was destroyed. | A BURSTING CLOUD Twenty-five Miles of Territory Covered. GE BY RUSHING WATER Bridges Swept Away and _Wash- : outs Made. GREAT | RESIDENTS FLEE IN TERROR ST. PAUL, Minn., May 16.—Severe Storms in the nature of a cloudburst, extending over about twenty-five miles of territory, with, St. Paul on the western cdge of the storm, did terribie damage last night. River Falls reports a dam burst and thirty bridges washed away. . New Richmond, Wis., reports trains un- able to run\on account of washouts, Mrs. Wm. Brennan of Erwin Prairie was killed and others severely injured by lghtning. No Chicago trains on time and some are not yet in. Washouts still hold yesterday's train on the Omaha road in Hudson, and last night's twains are very late. A cut in Hudson has been washed full ond the running of trains is indefinite. The Wisconsin Central trains cannot run on ac- count of washouts. The Burlington got in very late by going around over the Milwau- kee, and that road also got its train in by a roundabout way. Scenes ot River Falls. The wall of water sweeping down Black river valley struck River Falis at 1 o'clock this morning. The fire alarm bells were rung, and the residents hurried from their homes to the ald of those living in the path of the flood. The dam of the Prairie mill checked the rush of water for a few min- utes, but the wall of stone could not with- stand the pressure and the dam gave way. Two bridges were carried away, Several small buildings. followed, Meally’s starch factory went down stream. Another large bridge went next. Foster's saw mill was in the path of the flood, and that suffered. The damage at the Prairie mill is about $5,000, and at Fortune's mill it is $4,000. Railroad lines suffered severely from washouts. All the families on the lowlands were rescued. At Bloomer, on the Chippewa valley, sev- eral dwellings, a large planing mill, the city pumping house, and the fire engine house ase gone. The Immense dam across Black river, near Black River Falls, was in danger-and the west wing was blown up to save the re- mainder of the structure. This sent a great flood down the valley on Black River Falls. The milli district of Glenwoou is a scene of wreck and ruin. The big dam and sluice- way of the Glenwood Manufacturing Com- pany were carried away and several hun- red thousand feet of logs were also carried avay. Every bridge on the entire length of the Tiffany creek is gone. Many aweings in the lower part of the village mre under water. The Wisconsin Central Chicago train ts cut off by wash- outs, and isin the woods about a mile and a half from town, At Chippewa Falls and north toward Bloomer the valley is under water. A ten- foot rise is promised at Eau Claire, Every railroad between Milwaukee and St. Paul has been badly tied up since last night. ‘The washouts on the St. Paul-road are the most serious on the river division be- tween Red Wing and St. Paul and the limited from St. Paul to Chicago, due in Milwaukee at 7:10 this morning, did not arrive here until this evening. The damage on the Wisconsin Central is serious for miles in extent from Chippewa Falls west, and all tne trains for St. Paul or from there were tied up. General Man- ager Whitcomb stated that the storm was the severest ever known in that section, and the damage more extensive than ever before. Heavy Loss at Chippewa Falls, The storm swelled the Chippewa river and its tributaries over their banks, flood- ing an immense’ area. Several dams broke and caused most of the loss. Chippewa Falls lost three bridges and other property and property owners suffered heavy loss. The loss tn that city:and county alone is estimated at $290,000. _The Chippewa river is still rising, and ‘mefchants in the lower part of the city are their goods. ey DRIVEN FROM THEIR WORK, Striking Brickmakers Intimidating Others in Eastern New York. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., May 16.—A big strike of brick-yard laborers is on in the yards near Fishkill landing and Dutchess junetion, affecting about 1,500 men. the men employed in the yards about Kin; ston went on strike for higher wages eral days ago, agitators have been going up and down the river exciting men in other yerds to follow their example. This morning about 300 men employed in the seven yards in the neighborhood of Low Point stru¢k and compelled the others employed in the same yards to quit with them. The 200 men in Brockway'’s yard were allowed to remain at work, as the owners made them a proposition of an in- crease in wages. Then the strikers formed an angry mob, and armed with clubs and stones marched down the Central Hudson railroad tracks to Dutchess Junction, a distance of five miles, stopping at all of the six or seven yards on the way and forcing all the men to stop work, ‘The mob, which is composed of Arabs and Hungarians, led by several Irishmen, at- tacked the foreman at Timony’s yard, who opposed them, and he was forced to run in- to the woods to escape thelr blows. The men are now walking down the tracks and menacing the yard owners, and the latter have called on Sheriff Bartlett for protec- tion. The sheriff will swear in a force of deputies to protect the property. _———_ LUTHERANS AT YORK. Celebrating the Silver An: of the Organization of Missions, YORK, Pa., May 16.—The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the or- ganization of the boards of home missions, foreign missions and church extension by | the general synod of the Evangelical Lu- theran Church in the United States began in St. Paul's Church, this city, today. These boards were first appointed in May, 1859, when the general synod met in St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Washington, D. C., of which Df: J. GP Butler, D.D., was then pastor. The benevolent work of the general synod has had marvelous growth during the past twenty-five years. Until the church became accustomed to systematic beneficence it was a struggle, but now the gifts of the churehes, taking into consideration wealth and ability, are equal to those of any other denomination. York was thought to be a iitting place for the celebration, as one time all the boards had their headquarters in this city. ‘The silver jubilee service, as the celebration is termed, was called to order by Rev. W. S. Freas, D.D., pastor of St. Paul's Church. Among the former secretaries of the boards who are present are Rey. J. W. Goodlin, who for many years was general secretary of both the home mission and church extension boards; Rey. J. A, Clutz, D. D., now president of Midland College, Atchison, Kan., and Rey. J. W. Richards, D. D., now professor in the seminary at Gettysburg. Members of the general committee of the jubilee present are: From the home mission board: Rey. William E. Parson, D. D., Washington; Rey, J. C. Kollock, D. D., Hanover, Pa., arid Rev, A. Stewart Hart- man, D. D., Baltimore; from the foreign mission board, Rev. G. M. Gilbert, D. D., Harrisburg; Rev. Luther Kuhlman, Frederick, Md., and Rev. George Scholl, D. D., ‘Baltimore; from the church extension board, Rev. William S. Freas, D. D., York; Rey. Willis S. Hinman, Columbia, Pa., and Rev. S. H. Weber of this city. Ministers and laymen of the Lutheran Church are present from all parts of the United States. ‘The sessions are to be of a historical char- acter, and given up to a free discussion of the different phi of the benevolent work of the church. ‘The jubilee celebration will continue to- morrow and Friday. A handsome program has been prepared for the occasion, con- taining original music, with jubilee orders and songs.

At the request of the authorities Dr. H. W. Shu- feldt, a leading expert in the art, has care- fully studied this magnificent collection,and the result is a treatise on “Scientific Taxi- dermy for, Museums,” just published by the National Museum, making a volume of nearly 500 pages, beautifully illustrated by nearly a hundred full-page plates, depicting the choicest specimens of the museum col- lections, from the life-size family of Ameri- can bison to the tiniest lizard and annelid. Dr. Shufeldt’s paper tells how this work is done, points out the excellence of the ex- bthite ond ecntreete etrangly the new with the old schools of taxidermy. 3 Warning to American Manufactarers, United States Consul Monoghen, at Chem- nitz, Germany, fn a report to the Depart- ment of State, warns American manufac- turers against the pirating of their wares by certain unscrupulous European man- ufacturers. He cites the casé of a Chem- nitz man who was attracted by a superior pump exhibited at the world’s fair, and bought six of the pumps, under pretense of acting as an agent for the company. But when they reached him he took them apart, and, copying their constfuction, put on the German market a number of imitations. The consul cites a similar case, where an American knitting machine ts imitated and sold for 30 per cent less than the price in the United States, and advises American manufacturers to take out German patents cn thelr product: Renuty of Absence.

UNDISTURBED east SS Scenes of Confusion at the Miners’ Congress. A SUEZ CANAL SCANDAL BERLIN, May 16.—Emperor William re- cently received a deputation from the city of Munich, which called upon him in order to express the appreciation of the citizens of Munich at the fact that the emperor had decided to leave undisturbed in that city the famous picture gallery which the late Count von Schack bequeathed to the emperor. The people of Munich are very proud of this gal- lery, and, in token of their gratitude at hav- ing it remain among them, intend to erect @ statue in honor of Emperor William and inscribe it with his majesty’s telegram no- tifying the municipality of Munich of his decision not to transfer the gallery to Ber- In. Replying to the address of the Munich deputation, Emperor William said that he was pleased to give Munich testimony of the imperial favor, adding that he was con- vinced that the Schack gallery was in- separably connected with the house it had 80 long occupied, and, therefore, he had ar- ranged with the brother of the late Count von Schack for the retention of the collec- tion at Munich.

Result of the Different: Languages at the Berlin Congress. BERLIN, May 16.—Scenes of protracted confusion are witnessed daily at the miners’ international congress, owing to the many different languages used by the deputations. ‘The British deputation today elected Dele- gate John Wilson as the principal chairman. The Germans chose Delegate Struntz to preside over the German tion, and the French delegates selected legate Lamen- din. Upon the latter’s refusal to take a seat upon the platform, Chairman Wilson called upon Delegate Abraham to speak on behalf of the Welsh miners. Mr. Abraham, upon mounting the platform, was immediatcly greeted with a storm of protest, which ren- dered it impossible for him to make himself heard. In the meanwhile, the German in- terpreter, Ledeburg, objected to the ruling of the chair and resigned his positioa. Delegate Waildstein, a member of the Christian Catholic Workmen's Club of Sile- sia, protested against the election of the German chairman of the day, Delegate Struntz, on the ground that the latter was a socialist. Delegate Waldstein also pro- tested against the spirit of socialism which, he said, was prevalent among the delegates at the congress. He declaréd that the men he represented were loyal to Emperor Will- jam and to the pope. A great uproar followed, during which Delegate Cowey of the British contingent shouted that if this sort of thing was to continue they had all better go home. This caused an additional uproar and the ex- change of many bitter remarks. ANOTHER LESSEPS SCANDAL. Misappropriation of Suez Canal Funds Charged. LONDON, May 16.—A dispatch to a news agency from Cairo says: A criminal indict- ment has been lodged at Paris on behalf of Egyptian notables against Count Ferdinand de Lesseps and the early directors of the Suez Canal Company for the misappropria- tion of money. The claims amount to sev- eral million pounds, and are based upon documents given under the seal of Said Pasha, then viceroy of Egypt, by which, in ‘accordance with the acts of concessions, he ‘conferred founders’ and ordinary shares upon the members of his army and house- hold. The case is expected to equal the Panama canal scandal tn importance. It is thought likely that the company will dis- pute the claims on the ground of lapse of thine, IN SATOLLI'S SUPPORT. Unconfirmed Report of Intervention by the Pope. LONDON, May 16.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Rome says: The pope has resolved to put an end to all differences existing between Mgr. Satolli, the papal delegate to the United States, and the re- actionary American bishops. The propa- ganda have gathered all the material for an immediate and direct intervention, and it is probable that another synod of the American Catholic hierarchy will be or- dered for the purpose of directing the grow- ing organization of Catholicism in Amer- ica, The opinions of the religious orders are now being obtained from the Vatican, and they greatly favor the appointment of cathedral chapters and a permanent le- gate in America. ‘The intimations published by the London Chronicle of an tmmediate and direct in- tervention from the Roman headquarters between Mgr. Satolli, the papal ablegate, and his American opponerits met with an emphatic denia! at the residence of the ablegate in this city today. Mgr. Satolli is in Connecticut, but it was stated at his home that the monseignor has received no intimation of the alleged proposed inter- vention: ‘The Rev. Dr. Papi, private secre- tary to the ablegate, characterized the re- ports as untrue. “We have no knowledge of any such in- tervention,” said Dr. Papi. “The matter has not been broached to the ablegate, and no information whatever bearing on the subject has been received at the le=ation, I think It is safe to say that the statements announcing the alleged intention of the congregation of the propaganda to bring about the intervention are without any foundation.” The officials of the Catholic University are incredulous concerning the statements attributed to the London Chronicle that the pope will intervene between Mgr. Satolli and the American bishops opposing him, In the first place they intimate that there are | no differences existing between Mgr. Satolli and the “reactionary American bishops,” and say those differences that are alleged to exist are confined to editorials and un- signed communicated articles of an unf: vorable character published in Sunday new papers. . ‘rhe authorities at the university. no reason for any immediate and direct {ntér- ; Vention as reported. ‘The proposed formation of another synod of the American Catholic hierarchy or plenary council, as it is commonly called in America, is also treated lightly. There is declared to be no necessity for the calling of such a body. CONSUL GENERAL EDWARDS DEAD. He Had Won a High Reputation in the Consular Service.

Y., May 16.-—For three days a flerce fire has been raging on the mountain just across the Delaware river, in Pennsylvania, and between here and Milford. The fire has been fed by a furious wind and hes burned over an area of about seven miles, destroying hundreds of thousands of dojjars’ worth of timber, be- sides two or three farm houses. The at- mosphere is thick with ihe smoke from the fire, and at times objects a couple uf miles distant cannot be seen.

A spicy episode on the floor of the House yesterday when Representative Hatch of Missouri threatened to ram his fist down the throat of Representative Hopkins of Mlinols because the latter geritletnan had accused the former of chicanery in the agricultural bil] had an interesting sequel this morning. Ex-Speaker Reed sent up a nete to Representative Richardson, who was in the chair, asking him if he would be recognized to present a question of privi- lege. He desired to call attention to the fact that Mr. Hopkins was absent, from which the House would naturally infer that the threat of Mr. Hatch had been carried out, and to inquire whether under the new rule the pay of Mr. Hopkins would be de- ducted, considering the circumstances of his absence.
