The folio wing" are reported missing: Kate "Walsh, Kate JColen, Annie in ealba, -two girls of the name of Cre gier. It is believed, however, that all of these there are in the ruins. The explosion took place at a time when many of the employes had igone to work. The time register found in the ruins, showed 36 already reported for duty, while two or three others art f known ta have entered the building-. The force' of the explosion was5 so terrific that buildings for blocks around were shaken as by an earth quake. Hundreds of wlindows were shattered . The explosion lifted half of the roof of the immense building' many feet in the air. This fell directly back into the ruin's, carrying with it a por tion of the brick wall that had not been blown outward, and burying under tons of debris the unfortunate em- i ployes. The 'building in which the explosion occurred was known as the old Waverly theatre and -was built in 1877. Subse nuentlv it was remodeled and the rear used by the Doremus laundry. The part of the auditorium running towards Throop street was used ioy cue volun teers of America while the small stores (built out from the wings of the audi torium land facing on Madison street Tented to shopkeepers. One of these stores was used as the office of the Doremus laundry and through vms access was had to the laundry. In the southwestern corner of the 'building the boiler room was located. The wreckage near the (boiler and in the east part of the building at once took fire and through the blinding clouds of dust and smoke and escaping steam iwere seen struggling men and women, some of them half 'buried! in wreckage, others feebly endeavoring to climb to some place of safety, while from various parts of the ruins came cries for help. , , , The fire department soon extinguished, the flames and the -work of rescue be gan at once.

Opposite Poatoffioe ENGLAND REJECTS THE CANAL TREATY Lord Pauncefote Submits the British Reply to Secretary Hay No Counter Proposition, Washington, March 11. The long ex pected answer from the British govern ment to tihe state department's commu nication reciting1 the action of the senate upon the 'Hay-auncefote (treaty was returned at noon- 'today. Lord pauncefote, the British ambassador, already had acquainted iSecretary Hay with the fact that he had received a communication from his -government on the subject and it is believed that it has been in hie possession for sev eral days Secretary Hay ha3 'acquir ed a general knowledge of the char acter of the British response . Lord Pauncefote came to the state department at; noon by appointment, he brought the answer with himi and read it 'to 'Secretary Hay. It was in form, an instruction from Lord Lans downe, the British rniniister of foreign affairs, to Lord Pauncefote and of this instruction he left a copy with Secre tary Hay. The secretary and the am bassador were closeted Iot half an hour. At the conclusion of the conference it was stated that the instruction of Lord Pauncefote was to notify the United States government that the British! government did not see its way clear to the acceptance of the senate amendments. The amendments were treated' in detail at some length, in argumentative fashion, the purpose of the British government toeing to show that it had sound reason for declining to accept them. After disposing of the details the note concluded' with, the expression that such a course was forced upon the Brit ish 'government. There was nothing in the nature of a counter proposition, nor was any opening left for further action by the British (government. It was stated that if there was to be a further attempt to amend the LI HUNG CHANG ASKS AID TO RESIST RUSSIAN GHEED Wants the United States, Great Britian, Germany and Japan to Prevent Russia From Seizing Manchuria.

Clayton-BuAwer treaty, so as to au thorize the United States to construct a waterway across the isthmus, then it was for the United States to (make the overture; the British government imply drops the matter at this point. Secretary Hay took the communica tion to- the white house to talk with the president of the future action of the department. The impression prevails that there will be no immediate action looking to ward the negotiation of a treaty. ENGLAND'S COURSE REGRETTED. Washington, March 11. No authoriz ed statement of the opinion of the gov ernment of England's reasons for re fusing to accept the senate amend ments to the treaty or explaining whether any steps would be taken to make a new arrange is obtainable . The president and Secretary Hay have not discuss the matter in detail. An official said today that there were sev eral oaurses for United States to pursue to cause a re-opening of the nextia tioBs. One of these was to go ahead and build' 'the canal 'and let England take the initiative in negotiating to se cure her rights under the Clayton-Bul-wer treaty. It is realized here that the strongest argument In favor of England's claim to interests in the contsruiation of the canal is found in the recognition by this government in the Hay-Paunciefote treaty of the validity of the Clayton Bulwer convention. Senator Lodge said today he regretted the fact that England had rejected the amendments without even propoising a modification . He predicted that if a sat isfactory treaty was not negotiated be tween now and the assembling of congress the country would not wait patiently any longer and defer building the canal indefinitely. , and substitute harder terms in its place. Li Hung Chang declares he is powerless to resist 'and appealed to the United States, Great Britain, Ger many and Japan to intervene in Chi nas behalf. "Considerable uneasiness in conse quence of the extreme friction, is be lieved to exist between the Tang Tse viceroys and Li Hung Chang." GEN. COLEVILLE CRITICISED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS Reasons Given Eor His Enforced Re tirement From the Army. London, March 11.

MINERS DISPLEASED WITH OPERATORS' STAND Will Now Insis"; on a keco9;nition of Tbeir Union, Haxleton, March 11. The United Mline Workers' convention meets here tomorrow.

BOERS JOIN WITH BKITONS. Bloemfontein, March 11 Gen. DeWet is reported to be moving northward steadily at the rate of 25 miles a day, wlith the view of crossing the railway to the eastward. He should now be west of Kroonstadt. Several small commandoes are in possession of the southeast portion of the Orange river colony, from) which the garrisons of De Wetsdorp, Wepener, ISmithfleld and Rouxville have been withdrawn. It is impossible not to be struck with the fact that a great portion of the former enemfies of Great Britain In South Africa are now frankly throwing- in their lot with the British. Brand fort, Kroonstadt and Bloennfontein companies of ex-burghers are now bearing arms ?tgalnst the Boers. They ertate their object is not to operate against their former comrades but to defend their Aomes and property against marauding bands. Every town in the Free State occupied by the Brit ish will soon become aj center of Brit ish Influence extending a long- distance In their vicinity.. Over 13,000 refugees are now within the British lines and many of them) demand arms and per mission to take the field. If these re quests are granted It will be easy to get 2,000 ex-burghers enrolled on the British) side. . ' ' .a
