ST. TXUIS. Fob. 0. An early morning:
fire, which destroyed the Empire Hotel,
a. large three-story dwelling-house at 2700
and 2702 Olive street, occupied by men ex
clusively, caused the death of 11 persons
1 men and one woman and dangerously
Injured seven others. A dozen or more
who had narrow escapes from death re
ceived less serious injuries or were frost
bitten. It is estimated that between 35
and 40 persons were in the building last
night, and it is believed all have been ac
counted for. The linnncial loss is nominal.
It is thought that $10,000 will cover the
damage to building and contents, which
were totally destroyed. The dead are:
MOKRISS YAL.L, senior member of the
firm of Yall, Clark & Cowen, manufactur
ers of flm cut glass, formerly of Chicago,

window; J. H. L.ally. manager Empire
Hotel, back liadly sprained; Con Ryan,
burned about face. About 10 or 12 others
were lo?t seriously injured, being bruised,
burned or suffering from exposure.
The fire started about 8:30 A. M.. when
few people were abroad, and gained much
headway before it was discovered and ..e
alarm given. There was considerable
delay in turning in an alarm, and when
the engines finally reached the scene, the
whole front of the building was in flames
and the interior w.us a seething furnace.
By that trcne all who escaped death had
got out of the building by Jumping from
the window or climbing down ropes made
o fbedclothes. A few escaped on the ground
floor through the front door. Several
escapes were very narrow. Most every
one wiio got out suffered some injury or
was frost-lr.Ucn. Some barely had time
to get out whn aroused, the llames had
spread so r Idly. Some saved their
clothing, which they carried in their
hands, but others were not so fortunate,
losing everytnlng.
After some delay near-by houses were
opened to the unfortunates, and they were
given shelter from the biting cold weather.
It was one of the coldest nights of the
"Winter, the ground being covered with Ice
and snow, and every one suffered from
exposure. The suffering ones were put
under the care of physicians. Harry
Cline. "Walter Johnson, Henry Robinson
and an unknown man. who died later,
were taken to the City Hospital. Robin
son recovered enough to be taken home.
The others will be laid up for some time.
After a short light the firemen got the
flames under control, and. assisted by the
police, made a search of the ruins. The
first body found wa. that of John C. Ieud
ers. who was killed by jumping from the
third story. His head was crushed in.
The body of L.euders and those of the
others found later were taken to the
morgue, where friends and relatives later
Identified them. Sarah Harris was found
on the first floor. The remains of the
other victims were found in their rooms,
where they were sulfocated or burned.
J. J. 1-ally. who managed the hotel for
his brother-in-law, J. "W. Gillam. had
rooms on the ilnt floor. He stated there
were four rooms on the first floor, nine
on the second and seven on the third. If
all the guests occupied their rooms, 30
persons, including the colored porter and
chambermaid, were in the building when it
burned. Lally said he had no meatus of
knowing just how nany persons were
in the house at the time the fire broke out.
Some of them were in the habit of stay
ing out late, and it is possible all were
not there tlun. He was awakened by
hearing Con Ryan, one of the roomers,
crying fire. l.ally said he grabbed his
clothing and money and hurried into the
hall, which was ablaze, and. without stop
ping to dress, .stepped out through the
front door. Both stairways were on fire
and ho barely had time to get out, being
scorched and spraining his back. Lane.
Ryan and a man named Xicely escaped
the same way. The only way for the
others who got out alive was through the
windows, the burning stairways cutting
off their escape that way. Some jumped
and sustained injuries rniore or less serious,
while others, who took time to improvise
ropes from their bedclothing, got down
safely.
Tonight most of the guests have been
accounted for in the list of dead, injured
and escaped. Among those unaccounted
for is A. Goldberg, an unknown stranger,
who came in late and went to bed without
registering: two students, whose names
are not known, and F. P. Contrand. It is
not believed there are any more bodies In
the ruins, which have been carefully
searched. For that reason it Is thought
they will turn up.

"WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO.
Philippine. Census mill Irrigation
"Bills mi Senate Calendar for "Week.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. The Philippine
question will continue to hold the fore
most place on the Senate calendar dur
ing the present week, but there is little
probability that the Philippine bill will be
disiwsed of by the close of the week.
Democratic Senators say they will require
several weeks more time in which to con
sider the measure. Senator Lodge, as
chairman of the committee having the
bill in charge, has not failed to impress
upon them his intention of preeslng it
with the u:mo.t dispatch consistent with
due consideration of so important a meas
ure. Several Democratic Senators are
prepared to cpeak on the bill.
Senator Quarles will report the perma
nent census bill tomorrow before the Phil
ippine bill Is taken up. and will make an
enort to -eeiire immediate consideration.
If ho succeeds, the cen3;6 bill probably
will be alternated with the Philippine bill
for a few days. Senator Quarles hope
that the census bill may be pnssed with
out much delay. The irrigation bill also
occupied a place of vantage on the Senate
calendar, and, with the other bills men
tioned out of the way, will be pressed to
the front.
The House Program mc.
A varied programme confronts the
House for the coming week. Owing to
the absence of a large number of Re
publicans who will go to different polnt.
of the country to participate in the cele
bration of Lincoln's birthday Wednesday,
consideration of the bill to repeal the war
taxes will be postponed until next week.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day.
Tuesday, consideration of the oleomarga
rine bill will be resumed, under the agree
ment made lust week to devote another
day to general debate, followed by a day
of debate under the five-minute rule. The
passage of the bill by a large majority
Ls assured, although the substitute prop
osition probably will command a larger
vote than it did In the last Congress. The
committee on war claims will have a
day following the disposition of the oleo
margarine bill, and the lattrr part of the
week will probably be devoted to consid
eration of the Indian. Postofllce or Army
appropriation bills, some of which are
expected to be reported early in the week.

Steamer Philadelphia anil L,nml.
NEW YORK. Feb. 9. The steamship
Philadelphia, of the American Line, which
j arrived today broke the record for hav
ing the longest communication with the
I land by means of the Marconi wireless
' telegraph system. February 1, the neam-
ship was. at 12:15 P. M., a few miles off
the Lizard. Messages were then exchanged
and the telegraphing was kept up until
midnight of the following day. The last
message was sent when the Philadelphia
was iriO miles li:!nnt from the 1slnri.
I This lnft menage was a communication
, from the American Line officials in Eng
land to Captain Mills, of the Philadelphia.
This ls the longest distance at which wire
less communication has ever been had
between a ship and the land.
Because of the severe weather, the Phil
adelphia had to put Into Cherbourg,
where she was delayed for over 16 hours.
! The Marconi system was- continually work
ing while the vessel was lying to, the con
nections at all times being perfect.
RAN INTO A LANDSLIDE.
Fireman ICIlled In n "WrecU on the
ScRttle-Samnn Hrmich.
SEATTLE. Feb. 9. The north-bound
freight train which left this city last night
at 11 P. M. over the Seattic-Sumas branch
of the Northern Pacific, ran into a huge
landslide at Lake Statlqn, 15 miles north
of Seattle. Charles Fletz, the fireman,
was caught between the boiler of the
engine and one of five box cars which
had piled on top of it. and was burned
to death. He begged the crew to cut off
his arm, bv which he was held, but
before he could be released, he was dead.
It is believed that the jarring of the
train started the slide, which buried the
track under thousands of tons of dirt
and rock. The train ran Into it and the
engine was precipitated into Lake Wash
ington. Fictz was the only one of the
crew injured.

BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 9. In a cave-in in
the Diamond mine, one of the Amalga

SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Feb. 9. The steamer
Thyra, of the California Oriental line,

since Thursday, has sailed for San Fran

he had had some severe weather on the
trip across, and when the portion of the
hold which was devoted to Chinese goocL.
was opened it was found that the rough
weather had had its effect, for large
amounts of "soy" and Chinese wine had
been broken by the tossing of the ship,
and quite a large amount of tapioca flour
and other products of the Orient had been
destroyed by the spilled liquids. The
steamer has about 2500 tons for San Fran
