NlV'OHK, Oct. 30.-Not since tin
disaster of th fnlliiiK liuililintt In Turk
place hus there been such n horror vi
fire, explosion, fulling walls ami loss ol
lite ns that which occurred yesterday
along Warren street between (irccuwlob
and Washington streets, with the new
seven story brick building of Tarraut &
Co., druggist und chemists, as the start
ing point of destruction and the (ear
some center of Interest. Iu less than 13
minutes, from 12 o'clock to the (piartei
after, Warren Htreet between Wasliinn
ton and Greenwich wan a muss of high
piled debris. The blocks bounded to the
north and south by Chamber and Mur
ray streets were ablaze. All the north
side of Warren street was down, swept
clenn by the rear wall of the Tarrant
building as It was blown out by a ter
rific explosion, llulf the buildings on
the south side of Warren street were
down, crushed iu the same wuy. The
"big coffee roasting plant of the llppcn.
Smith & Wlemaun company in the mid
dle of the block wns afire from top to
bottom and its front enved In. What
grewiome story of death was hidden un
der the heaps of stone, brick, beums and
heavy machinery could only be guess
ed at.
Estimate put the loss of life at from
BO to 100 and more. The injured, who
came from every store and ollice along
the Btreet, struck by flying stones nml
rafters and shattered kIuhs, probably
counted over 100. Ambulances by the
dozen stood in nearby streets, and the
urgcous had their hands full of work.
How the fire started none could be
found who knew or guessed. It broke out
in the Tarrant building at 12 o'clock,
when tmoke was awn curling thinly out
of a third floor window on the Warren
street side. The place was stocked with
chemicals, and these caused the frightful
feuture of the disaster, the explosions
following fast on the heels of the alarm
of Cre. The whole lower part of the
city felt the shock, and streets for blocks
leading to the scene were paved with
glass from windows ami doors, whose
empty frames told of the force of the
quakes.
It was not until 3 o'clock that the fire
men, nuder Chief Croker's personal di
rection, had the flames under control.
At one time they threatened two whole
blocks.
At the time the explosion took place
Broadway was thronged. The full force
of the explosion appeared to sweep up
Warren street nud l'nrk place. Simulta
neously with the shaking of the earth
came three distinct blasts of hot air and
the smell of drugs. The hot air blasts
Caused people to throw their hands before
their eyes. At the corner of lSroudway
and Park place an elderly lady was
thrown heavily to the sidewalk.
When lifted to her feet, she began to
cry hystericully. Scores of women rush
ed to the east side of Broadwuy. Men
with blanched faces turned into Broad
way from Warren street, declaring that
hundreds of people had been killed and
that the danger wus not yet over. To add
to the excitement horses attached to
heavy trucks reared when they felt the
earth tremble beneath them. The panic
was over in a few minutes, and then the
people turned to watch the debris which
had been carried up into the air by the
explosion.
A conservative estimute of thu loss
places it at $1,300,000. Forty buildings
were destroyed.

coIWIhIhii Alliance,
LONDON, Oct. 31. "Most serious
trouble." says the Shanghai correspond- i
nt of The Daily Express, "is brewing in
tlie Ynng-tse region, whither the empress
dowager has sent emissaries to raise pow- j
rful armed bodies to exterminate con- i
verts and expel foreigners. Sin? has up- I
minted ti Chiinn, a notoriously unli- ;
forcigu general, to be military governor
of the YatiK-tse district."
Iu the province of Kwnng-tiiug, accord
ing to the llonckonu correspondent of
The Daily Mall, the rebellion is subsid
ing, owiux to the scarcity of urtns and
ammunition. i
The Shanghai correspondent of The i
Times, winng yesterday, says: '
Li Hung C hung bus wired to Chang
Chlh Tung, the Wu-cllang viceroy, that
the peace negotiations are satisfactory.
but to other leading olhcials he has tele
graphed exactly the reverse, bidding
them prepare for eventualities." i

FLIGHT OF THE COURT.
nnlr Stricken Journey I'roiu Peking: I
Occupied Twenty-four Days. !
PEKINO. Oct. 30. Prince Su, who
accompanied the Chinese court iu the
llight to Tul-yuen-fu and afterwurd re
turned here, disheartened by the iinarchy
xisting among those composing the Im
mediate advisers of the throne, gave iu
the course of nu interview today an inter
esting account of his journey.
"On the first day, said Prince Su, the
court traveled in carts -0 miles north', es
corted by 3,000 soldiers, who pillaged,
murdered and Committed other outrages
ulong the entire route. The (light wus
continued at the rate of 20 miles a day to
Ilsuiin-hua-fu in the most puulc stricken
Dimmer. So little authority was exerted
that the soldiers even sto'o the meals pre
pared for the emperor und the empress
dowager. The execution of several for
murder ami pillage eventually brought
them under control.
The court .remained three dnys at
Msunn-hua-fu, some advisers counseling
a further stay. They were, however,
overruled owing to the fear of foreign
pursuit, and the Might was resumed to
Tui-ytien-fu, with 10,000 additional
troops Under General Tung Fu Hsiung,
who added to the discord.
'The empress dowager did little else
but weep nml upbraid her advisers. Tho
emperor reviled everybody. The journey
occupied -0 days, the longest route being
taken owing to fenr of pursuit.
On arriving at Tai-yuen-fn great difh-
culty was experienced iu forming any
semblnnce of government. Many edicts
were ignored, und ufl'nirs reached a stute
of absolute chaos. The emperor would
have preferred to trust himself to the al
lies, but be was compelled to join in the
flight."
Prince Su docs not believe thnt the
court is going to Sinn-fu. He thinks the
plnn Is to return by a circuitous route
through southern Shansl and northern
Ilouun.
