at present at least, says the Sofia, Bul

“I still think that tho Bulgarian gov

bear on the Macedonian committee and
through it ou the brigands to release
their captives. Borne members cf ih •
committee were arrested by the Bulga
rian government, but they were released
in a few days.
*‘If Prince Ferdinand’s (Bulgarian)
government relaxes its pressure ou the
committee nothing will be left hut to

'•I have absolute proof of the con
spiracy in the crime of some of the
members of the Macedonian committee.
The brigands who attacked Miss Stone’s
party were disguised iu Turkish fez and
cloak. But two of them threw back
their cloaks during the attack, thus re
vealing the uniform of tho Macedonian
committee. They were recognized, too,
as Bulgarians. Moreover, they spoke
poor Turkish but good Bulgarian and
ate ham and bacon.
The leading members of the Bulgarian
government believe that the brigands
are willing to surrender to tho Bui
garian troops and in that case then*
would be uc danger to the captives, but
if they should be captured b/ Turki c
troops the brigands would tight to the

Turkish troops are under orders not to
attack the brigands, even if they are

Rapidity--Many Killed In Jump.tig
From the Burning Bu l.iiug.
Philadelphia, Oct. 25.— A most dis
astrous fire occurred here today between
Twelfth aud Thirteenth streets, involv
ing a heavy loss of life and property.
The fire started at 10:30 a. in. in the
9-story building occupied by Hunt,
Wilkinson & Co., furniture aud uphol
stery manufacturers. Although the
structure was fire-proof, it was filled
from cellar to roof with highly inflam
mable material nud iu a few minuted
flames were bursting from every win
dow aud it was impossible for the fire
men to assist tliose in the burning build-
ing.
Hundreds of men and women were
employed by the firm aud a great many
were killed and injured. Up to 11
o’clock 11 bodies were removed to the
morgue and it is certain that others
were killed.
The fire spread so quickly that nearly
everybody who could get out was com
pelled to jump from the fire escapes in
tho rear, winch fron* ; 'U a narrow
street. When tiie firemen reached the
scene tho street was literally piled up
with bodies of people who had jumped.
Some were dead, others were dying.
At about 11:30 o’clock the walls of the
Hunt, Wiikiuson & Co.’s building felL
This gave the fireman an opportunity ro
work on rhe other buibiings that had
also caugnt and at 12 o’clock the fire
was under c *ntrol.
Stories conflict as to the number of
persons killed. Hunt, Wilkinson & Co.
employed 300 people, mostly girls. The
fire is believed to have started on the
6ecomi floor of their building, where 15
persons were at work. Ir is not known
whether any of these escaped.
