LOUIS, April 7.—Sparks from a switch engine to-day set fire to the big elevator owned by the St. Louis Elevator and Storage Company, and within less than two hours the building was reduced to gshes, entailing a loss of $650,000. The building and contents, which consisted of about 800,000 bushels of wheat and corn, were fully insured. i The elevator, which was situated on the river front at the foot of Biddle street. was the second largest in St. Louis and was used for storage purposes by others than the members of the St. Louis Storage Compafiy, but the latter just at this time happened to own almost all the grain. The building contained corn and wheat of grades below No. 2. Oniy z small amount of high-class cereals was stored there. H. C. Haarstick, president of the com- pany, gave it as his opinion that the loss of the grain would not affect the local market. The building was insured for $90,000 and the storage company’s grain for $550,000. Other insurance on private storage will aggregate $50,000. Nearly every insurance company represented in St. Louis carried policies on the grain. There will be little if any grain salvage, the fire and water having made a clean sweep. Rev. Father Frieden, S. J., was the cele- brant, assisted by Messrs. Ruppert and | Villa,’ 8. J., as deacon and sub-@eacon. At the benediction of the blessed sacra- ment, which followed, Father Frieden was_assisted by the Rev. J. Sardi, 8. J., as deacon, and P. Ryan, S. J., as sub- deacon. During the services Cagliero’s “Regina Coeli” and De Vecchi's “Tantum Ergo” were rendered by the male choir.

The correspondent says: ‘The survivors—Johnson, a Swede, and Marticornu, a Spaniard—assert that the Anfola struck a reef. Two rafts were built. The smaller, bearing five men, dis- appeared. The other with twelve men, drifted for forty days. The sailors ate arnacles, seaweed and finally their boots. ‘On the twenty-fifth day two became in- sane and killed themselves. On the twen- ty-sixth a Frenchman killed the mate with an ax, drank his biood and tried to eat his brains, but was prevented by the others. The next day the Frenchman was killed while attempting to murder the captain. The survivors, all of whom were now in- sane, ate the Frenchman's body. ““Cannibalism continued until only John- sori and Marticornu remained, _On _the forty-second day the raft stranded on Subi BULGARIANS MAY RESENT ARRESTS Trouble Feared, as Commit- tee Has Many Thousand Adherents. VIENNA, April 7.—The arrest of the leading memuers of the Macedonian Com- mittee Friday night at Sofia, Bulgaria, causes great satisfaction. It was probably due to pressure from Russia and Turkey, although the official reason given is that the committee was preparing a rising in Macedonia. The revglations at the trial of the Bul- garians af Salonica regarding the revolu- tionary aims of the committee may also have hastened the denouement. As the committee counts many thousands of ad- herents_in Bulgaria, trouble may result. Prince Ferdinard is at Mentone.. Robbers Depart Without Coin.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 7.—Fifteen hundred pounds of dynamife were used yesterday afternoon in blowing up the for- ward superstructure of the sunken United States collier Merrimae, which has long impeded the entrance to the harbor. The explosion was heard plainly in the city, five miles away. Divers immediately de- scended and found forty feet of clear water over the forward portion of the wreclk. Port Captain Irvin will begin to-morrow to place mines aft, which he expects to explode in a week, thus completely clear- ing the harbor entrance. Yesterday’s incident was highly spec- tacular. Residents of Smith Key, adja- cent to the wreck, left the island. fearing that their houses would be demolished. The overlooking hills were lined with peo- ple and large numbers of pleasure seekers encircled the wreck at a safe distance. ‘When the electric button -was touched a ly’s Easter. cantata, “Life and Death,” was sung at the evening service.

Accuses New York’s Assistant Dis- trict Attorney of Having a Pe- cuniary Interest in the Rice Affair. ° — NEW YORK, April 7.—Lawyer Albert T. Patrick, who is charged with the mur- | der of Millionaire Rice, made a statement | to-day concerning thé case: He had been | asked to say something concerning a | story printed in a morning paper to the effect that Valet Jones had.spent several | hours, accompanied by a policeman at- | tached to the District Attorney’s office. in | touring the tenderloin district. Accordi | to this story hotels, eoncert halls and ga | dens and theaters had been visited by t prisoner and his" afténdant and dozen: | arlnks taken. On this point Lawyer rick satd: | “I have known. that this kind of thing has been going on for some time. I could not have sworn that such was the case, { but-I.have heard from . various sources | that Jones was- plentifully supplied with { money, was taken out buggy riding and | was otherwise treated with kindness and | consideration.” Patrick then went on to speak of the | Rice murder case. This is the first time that he has made any statement since his arrest. He said: | Jones pever killed W. M. Rice. Had he done | s0_he never would have testiffed to it, cially as the District Attormey has prom: | him no immunity, counsel, | thcugh provided by Captain Baker, have p | mitted him to do so.

Details a Conspiracy. The object of Jones' story is to have me held in prison pending the will litigation. I bave already been In prison six months on the forgery charge without even being Indicted, and I do not believe that there is any serious { intention to try me on a criminal chigrge befors i a jury. My arrest on a murder arge and | the desperate attempt to hold me is due en- | tirely to my ability and attempt to give bail upon any less serious charge. The stock in | trade af the opposition to the 1900 will is thete” already demonstrated abllity to control the District Attorney’s office; that is to say, that portion presided over by Osborne, over which there seems to be no administrative supervis- ion. | So far the tactics employed against me have | been the giving out by Mr. Osborne continually | of_statements known by him to be false, in | order to cause the public to prejudge me guilty | s0o as to justify the false imprisonment and | to prevent a fair trial; the wrongful imprison. | ment of myself and the hounding by detectiv | of those who appear, to favor me; the abuse | of the process of the courts by wrongfully | subpenaing, In_the name of the court, per- | scns to personally appear before him and sub- | mit to examinations in his office. The use of men under the guise of profes- sional handwriting experts to swear that the signatures of the 1900 will, checks, assign- | ments, etc., are forgeries and the procuring of false testimony are all in the same line. | Jones swore on the witness stand and Osborne | admitted it in open court that Jones had in- | formed_Osborne in January that Jomes had { killed Mr. Rice with chloroform, and that subsequently in collaboration with Witthaus on February 21 the present complaint charging me with killing Rice with mercurial poison was made at the instance of Osborne i an attempt to deprive me of all knowledge of the rature of the accusation against me until he had used as witnesses those who are sup- posed to be for me.
