Paris, May C The unidentified bodies
ns well ns tho Jewels recovered from
the debris have been photographed by
the Betlllon method, und the funeral
Eervlce of tho victims has liccn ilxed
for the Cathedral of Notie Dame. M.
Faure will attend, and Peru Richard
will probably olllclate.
At tonight's session of the cabinet It
was decided to ask the chamber of
deputies for a special credit in aid of
the needy families.
The minister of Justlco communicat
ed to his colleagues the llrst results
of the Inquiry Into the causes, of the
lire. The Investigating magistrate M.
Dertolu, reports that there was great
carelessness and Imprudence In the
principal arrangements for the bazaar.
Former Consul General S. E. Morse
said to the representative of the Asso
ciated Press this afternoon:
"It wns singularly fortunate that
there was only one American victim.
This was Indeed remarkable, because
Just now there Is an unusually large
number of Americans In Paris. They
are generous supporters of such' fetes
ns the Grand Bazaar De Charlte; and,
moreover, it gave them a favorable op
portunity of getting Into close quar
tets with the aristocracy and many of
tho celebrities of Paris. Mrs. Porges
waB the only American victim. Sho
was a Miss Welswelller. Her daughter
accompanied her to tho bazaar and
escaped uninjured. The Porges family
reside in lenna.
One feature which Is generally re
marked of the victims tnken to the
Palais De L'llndustrle Is that the head
Is thrown back and the arms nro up
lifted with a peculiarly weird effect.
The scene on the Champs Elysee Is
like that on popular fete days. The
throngs are enormous and multitudes
of carriages are driving about. From
time to time a solemn hush falls upon
the crowd, and every head Is bared ns
the hearse passes by.
REMAINS OF V DUCHESS.
Further particulars regarding the
finding of the remain of Duchess
D'Alencon, show that the secretary of
the prefecture, accompanied by the
maid of the duchess and a footman be
longing to the household of the duke
examined the rows of bodies. Tho two
servants stopped before a blackened
and mutilated corpse, whose abdomen
was torn open. They declared that It
was the remains of their mistress and
also sent for the dentist of the duchess.
The latter, after examining the corpse
for half an hour, declured It was not
that of the duchess. He claimed there
was a tooth too many In the head,
but the servants Insisted, whereupon
the dentist and two doctors operated
upon the upper jaw and then the den
tist was enabled to formally Identify
the remains as being those of the
Duchess D'iAlencon.
Terrible scenes continue to bo en
acted at the Palais de L'lndustrles this
afternoon. The mother of the 4-year-old
child, Alfred Davis, one of the vic
tims, arrived during the day for the
purpose of taking the body away with
her. It was decided, however, that It
was Inadvisable to show her the ghast
ly remains of her child. When this
was communicated to the unfortunate
mother, In a paroxysm of grief she
tried to force her way Into tho mor
tuary hall, screaming:
"I will see my child."
It was found necessary to forcibly
remove tho poor woman, whose case Is
one of the most distressing. It ap
pears that Mrs. Davls.lost her husband
a month ago and that her only other
child died a fortnight ago.
At 7 o'clock this evening the police
officials nnnounced that ninety-four
corpses had been positlely identified.
The names In nddlllon to those already
published, are as follows:
Comtesse D'Hora, Mine. De Demns,
Mine. Maria Dlale, Mile. Terre, Mile.
Comeau, Mme. Ueachamp, Mme. Bill-
aye, June. Lamegrle, Mme. Bosse,

cile Julian. Mile. Baras, Mile. Gulllc
ton, Mile. Marie Moisson, Mile. Suzanne
Nitot and Mile. Therese Donon, daugh
ter of the Baroness De Saint Dldler.
There are nineteen bodies still un
identified, among which must be those
of the Comtesse De Lupe nnd Mme. Nlt
ot's second daughter, both of whom
are missing.
Viscountess; Molezloux Is now placed
rr.iong those ofllclally Identified. M.
Gotse, the notary, on learning that his
wife and two daughters were among
the victims, was so prostrated that his
life Is despaired of. M. Glrard, direc
tor of the municipal laboratory, reports
that the ether for the lamps used In the
klnemntograph set fire to the film, tho
flames then Igniting the apparatus.
Tonight such theaters ns ate open
are almost empty, and the large cafes
on .the boulevards are practically de
terred. FOR JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG.

A totnl of 69 votes was cast, leaving;
19 senators who did not respond. Tha
vote was preceded by a short, spirited
debate Introduced by Senator Mills, ot
Texas, who made a. btrong appeal to
the senate against ratifying the agree
ment. He pointed out the provisions for tho
settlement of controversies In regard to
the terrotorlal claims and asserted that
whereas the amendment adopted tho
sennte to the first article of the treaty
declared again their Inclusion, the
sixth and eighth articles made provls
lo nfar them. He held thnt as long as
these articles remained unchanged
England Justly could claim that ques
tion of territory rights were still In
cluded within the scope of the treaty.
Under such circumstances, he asked,
what was to prevent England from
purchasing the Island of Cuba or any
other American territory and In enso
of objection on the part of the United
States Insisting upon the reference of
dispute to arbitration. He spoke of tho
conduct of England In connection with
the Graeco-Turklsh war and Implored
the senate to protect the United States
against tho proposed alliance.
A VISIBLE IMPRESSION.
The speech made a visible Impression
and the opinion was general that tho
treaty should be amended so as to rem
edy the Inconsistency explained. Sena
tor Tillman asked that time be given
for such amendment. Owing, however,
to the fact that the senate was under
agreement to voto at 4 o'clock there
could be no postponement except by
unanimous consent.
Senator Carter, who from the first,
has been one of the most active and
effective opponents of the treaty, ad
vised the senato to let well enough
alone.
Senator Hoar replied briefly going
over the general argument In favor of
the treaty and contending especially
that the objection Of Inconsistency In
regard to territorial claims wasn't well
founded.
The remainder of the debato was of
a running character. Senators Whlto
and Pettlgrew Interjected questions,
tending to show continued opposition.
it was evident lefore the ballot was
completed that the motion to ratify
would be beaten.
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations attributed
the defeat to the feeling of dissatisfac
tion at England course In the struggle
of the Greeks to liberate the Island of
Crete from Ottoman dominion and In
tho Armenian massacres and with tho
"evident" design of Great Britain upon
tho Transvaal. At the conclusion of
the proceedings nil of which were In
executive session, the senato refused to
authoilze the publication of the de
tails. LET HER SNAKES LOOSE.
