New York, Feb 7. A disaster, apall
ing in horror, and bringing to mind the
terrible occurrence in Park Place, still
fresh in the public mind, occurred in
this city early this morning. The Hotel
Royal, that well known landmark,
which has stood for more than a quarter
of a century at the southeast corner 'of
Sixth Avenue and Fortieth street,
burned to the ground and a large num
ber of persons were burned, suffocated
and crushed in the ruins. At the time
of the disaster there were nearly 150
guests in the house. The hotel em
ployes, all told, numbered fifty-five.
Of the 150 people, five have thus far
been found dead, fix are in the hospital,
and sixty-three have been reportei
alive. One hundred are still missing.
The number of dead will probably not
exceed, at a later estimate, thirty. The
scenes were ' heartrending and apalled
even the firemen and policemen, who
are used to such sights. Soon after the
fire broke out, ambulances arrived from
the various hospitals, and many physi
cians, whose residences are in the neigh
borhood, were quickly on the scene, and
did all they could to relieve the injured.
Nearly -every ona.of.the 124 .rooms,
which the hotel had on its five floors,
was occupied last night by guests, many
of them transients. In fact all the
rooms save four, had been taken at 1
o'clock this morning, when Richard
Meares, the proprietor, went to bed.
When the flames burst forth, from some
unknown origin, near the elevator shaft,
the entire building was instantly en
veloped in flames. , .
The origin of the fire is unknown. It
started in the basement near the elevator
shaft, which is located in the middle of
the building. The flames were first seen
pouring out of the cupola on the roof,
directly over the elevator shaft by an
engineer of a Sixth avenue elevated
train, who stopped his engine directly
in front of the hotel and blew the loco
motive's whistle loud and continuously.
The usual sound woke many sleeping
people and brought the policemen to the
scene, ho at once sent in a fire alarm.
When the fire was finally gotten nnder
control there was a general inquiry as to
who had taken lodgings at the hotel and
who had gotten out in safety. Neither
the proprietor nor the attaches could
give the names of any but a few of their
personal acquaintances. Then the call
was naturally made for the hotel regis
ter. It could not be found, although it
was not apparent it had been destroyed.
A search was instituted and an enter
prising newspaper man was found mak
ing off with it, thinking thereby doubt
less to secure a "beat" 6n his contem
poraries by printing the exclusive list of
the names, but he was- despoiled of his
prize, and may have to answer to the
charge of larceny into the bargain. .
The Latest Estimates.
, New Yokk, Feb. 8. At 1 :30 a. m. the
best estimates based upon the police
reports, the coroner's list end the World
reporters' investigation show : Dead, 5 ;
injured, 24 ; missing, 60 ; saved, 81. ' A
full list of the injured is : '

A FIGHT NOT FOUGHT.
How Captain Schley Prepared the
tlmore for Aetlon.
Bal-
.Washington', Feb. 6. The following
incident in connection with the Chilian
,difficulty, has not before been niade
public. After the attack on the sailors
of the Baltimore,' excitement ran high in
Valparaiso. As ' will be remembered,
rumors were thick and frequent that the
Chilians intended to attack the Balti
more. . The naval ' demonstrations on
their "part were very threatening, and of
such a character that Captain Schley
felt impelled to put bis ship in order lor
a hot fight, if it was forced upon him.
According to the reports a combined, at
tack was to be' made upon the Baltimore
by the Chilian cruisers, the Esmeralda,
the Almirante, the. Cochran and the tor
pedo Vessels. The iTea of the Chilians
was with, their forceiity could make. a
complete wreck of the Baltimore in a
very short time. Captain Schley did
not think so. At any rate he was ready
to give them a warm reception on either
side of the Baltimore. , ..
Between the range of her guns and the
Chilian cruisers lay the German man-
of-war Liepsic and the English mau-of-
war Melobomene. Captain Schley had
determined, in case of attack, to let the
torpedo boats go in the beginning and
direct his attention to the work of dis
abling the cruisers, . but he wanted to
have them in the line with his guns.
Getting in his gig, he first boarded the
German man-of-war and stated his views
and wishes to her commander. The
German captain promptly said he would
gel out of the way at once and give the
Baltimore a fair show. Captain Schley
then went to the Melopeomen. Her
captain did not show the spirit of ac
commodation of the , German. He said
his ship was in very good auchorage,
and he did not see why he sh'ould move.
After some further conversation he con
sented to comply with the request of
Captain Schley, and said that he too
would get out of the way. As it hap
pened, the Chilians either abandoned
their attentiou to attack, or never enter
tained it.1 Otherwise there would doubt
less have occurred one of the most re
markable naval engagements of history.
Blaine not a Candidate.
Nkw Yokk, Feb. 7. The Press this
morning has an article signed by Carson
Lake, in which he says :
"Secretary. Blaine will not be a candi
date for the republican presidential nom
ination. I have the highest authority,
next to Mr. Blaine himself for making
this statement. The decision of Mr.
Blaine is the result of his belief that his
health, though now good, will not bear
the great strain for a canvass for the
presidency and the subsequent duties of
the presidency. He knows that the
nomination of his party is at bis com
mand and that even President Harrison
would not contest it with him, against
the overwhelming sentiment in his favor
that prevades the republican party in
every state in the Union. But he real
izes his physical condition to be unequal
to the task of canvassing the states of
New York and Indiana, which the re
publicans must carry to win the election.
Washington. Feb. 7. Secretary James
G. Blaine has finally spoken. Under
date of yesterday he has written Chair
man Clarson, of the republican national
committee, formally announcing he is
not a candidate for Hie republican presi
dential nomination. The full text of
his letter is:
"I am not a candidate for the presi
dency, and my name will not go before
the republican ' national convention for
nomination. I make this announcement
in due season. To those who have ten
dered me their support I owe sincere
thanks, and am most grateful for their
confidence. They will, I am sure, make
an earnest effort in the approaching con
test, which is rendered especially im
portant by reason of the industrial and
financial policies of the government . be
ing at stake. The popular decision on
these issues is of great moment, and will
be of far-reaching consequence.
Thayer Surrenders to Koyd.
Lincoln, Neb., Febv 7. The Slate
Journal will contain the" following to
morrow : '
The Nebraska gubernatorial muddle is
settled for the present, at least. The
attorneys of Governor Thayer are not
certain the office can be legally ' turned
over to Governor Boyd before the offi
cial mandate is received, but Thayer
wishes to leave the state this week, and
has been so annoyed by the clamor of
Boyd's friends that he has determined
to surrender " the seat immediately, if
Boyd is willing to take the responsibility
of holding the official papers. 1
Food for the Russian.,
Philadelphia, Feb. 6. At a' meeting
of the Russian famin committee today, a
dispatch was sent to Miss Clara Barton,
of the Red Cross Society, saying Phila
delphia would,. February 15, ship ,3000
tons of goods to Russia, and offering to
transport all the grain that arrived, be
fore that date. It was also decided , to
send telegrams to the governors of Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana, to
send all the provisions they could con
trol. It is expected the steamship In
diana, which arrives in this port Febru
ary 15, will be secured for the service.

New Yokk, Feb. 6. The committee of
democrats appointed at a recent meeting
opposed to calling the state convention
in February, issued an address to the
democrats of the state today, saying that "
the state convention had been called by
the committee for the 23d of February,
for the manifest purpose of forestalling
public opinion and influencing the polit
ical action of other states by an apparent
unanimous delegation from New York
in favor of the preferred candidate of a
majority of the committee. The people
are urged to fight at the primaries to
elect delegates who regard the "snap"
convention as detrimental to the true in
terests of the party, and who, in taking
their seat, will move that the convention
dissol ve without taking any action at all.
Devotion is urged to the great issues
which carried the party to victory in .
1890, and absolute loyalty to the candi
date who shall be declared by the na
tional convention to be the best and .
truest representative of those principles. .
What Leading Papers Slay of the Win- '
cheaters Shipped in New Orleans.
New Orleans, Feb. 0. The arrival of
apout 505 rifles and 2600 pounds of am
munition, consigned to Colonel Crandall,
chairman of the democratic committee
on the steamship El Paso from New '
York, was noted yesterday morning by
the New Delia, accompanied by strong'
editorial remarks concluding as follows :
"The Winchester in the hands of the
hireling opposes the Winchester iu the
hands of the free man. Let every crack
of a lottery rifle wake an answering echo -to
the report of an anti-lottery gun. ' If
the hoodlums of New Orleans appear in:
the streets of this city armed with weap- -ons,
placed in their hands by this lottery
company, sweep them from the face of
the earth. If the streets of New Orleans
are to be reddened with blood, let it not -be
alone the blood of her good citizens.-.
If wholesale murder has been resolved
on by the lottery, let the people resolve:
on wholesale executions."
In reply the Evening States says Mr.
Foster, of St. Mary, the candidate of tho
antis for governor, was the first man who
raised the cry of rifles in this contest.
"Every $5 bill," meaning every pro-lottery
vote, he said in substance "was to
be met with a $25 rifle." In view of this
fact, argues the States, it is not astonish
ing that the democratic committee lias
taken the necessary steps to protect the'
freedom of opinion of the ballot. It then'
adds :
If they had failed to do so they would
not be tit to hold the leadership of a
party of American citizens. Ballot
against ballot, rifle against rifle, and, by
the menior.es ol the men wno fought
and bled for our constitution, it shall be
rifles against fraud and rascality.
A. Wealthy Fanner Leaves His Family.
ALBANy, Or., Feb. 6. James Wallace,
a' farmer living near Albany, has disap
peared. It is supposed he has gone td
California. He sold his wheat Wednes
dag and received $1350, and started away
on the south-bound overland train. His

young widow named Mrs. VeatcH, the
daughter of W. W. McCoon. He has a
wife and fonr children, and was a well-to-do
farmer. - He had recently been
paying undue attention to Mrs. Yea tea,
and was so much in her company that
his wife upbraided him for his conduct.
He leaves an indebtedness of $1000 or
more. All his property has been at
tached, which will leave his wife with
out means. She is prostrated over the
affair.'

He Wanted to Be m Robber.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 6. Sam Snyder, a
pawnbroker, was robbed today of $2100.
Several men came to him, representing
themselves as train robbers and wanted
him to act as a "fence" for stolen prop
erty. Snyder went to their room last
night to talk over the matter with them,
and was made a prisoner and told if he
did not pay his captors money they
would kill him. After remaining a
Eriaoner all night Snyder went to the
ank accompanied by two men, and
drew the money, they disappearing with
it immediately after.
