For sir hours the lighthouse tendet Azalea, which had answered the call for help, lay alongside the waterloggea. lightship, unable to render assistance* owing to the fearful sea. At lengtfc the weather moderated, and then at effort was made to tow the lightshij to New Bedford. But, after eighteen miles had been covered, the water which had been coming in steadilj through a leak in the fireroom com? partment, gained rapidly on the al? ready exhausted crew, and the distress signal was hoisted.

The vessel was equipped with wireless telegraphy, and constaut conjmunlca. tion coula be kept up with Newport At two o'clock the other morning t jeak was discovered just above 1 h* fire-room plates in the midship corm partmcnt of the vessel. For several hours the vessel was kept free by ait of her steam pumps, but at eiglf o'clock it was apparent that the wate was gaining, and a message was sea to Newport for aid. During the next few hours theVatei rose vrapidly, until the fires under th<. boilers bad been quenched and pump ing by mechauical means ceased. Sev eral messages were sent after the dyna mos stopped/by means of storage bat teries, all urging that some vessel b? sent as soon as possible. During all this time the little light ship had been tumbled about iu on> of the severest storms of the season Realizing that hand-bailing might pos sibly keep the vessel afloat until lielj arrived, the th'irteen men started tin tedious work of hoisting the wate) from the flooded hold by buckets, th? hand-pumps being of little use. With out stopping for food or sleep, thej managed to hold their own for twentyfour hours. At two o'clock in the morning, om of the naval wireless operators waj able to send out one more message stating that the lightship was in distress, and urging that help be sent "from anywhere." The power gavi out before he could sign the messaga Two hours later the Azalea, which has been the'tender for-the lightships or this station for many years, was sight ed by the light of the setting moon. At ten o'clock the sea. under the in* fluence of the northwester which hai followed the easterly storm, calmec down to a moderate roll, and a lint was sent to the lightship from th? Azalea. Capt.

The line frou the Azalea was made fast. Still thi crew continued to bail, although great' ly exhausted by their hard labors. It was about noon when, after eight een miles had been covered, Capt. Jor genson hoisted the distress signals ot the lightship, and the towing stopped The Azalea ran back toward the sink ing vessel, while the crew of the light ship pushed their lifeboat over th* side. Capt. .Torgenson was the las* to leave his ship. Ten minutes Iat? No. 58 plunged beneath the waves.

[ Father Returns Home to Pind QIk Eutir* Family Wijiorf Ont by lilazo iu a Tenement New York City.?A mother ami her. five children were burned to death. at night in a fire in a tenement house at the southeast corner of Columbus avenue and 100th street. Every other one of the tenants had narrow escapes, and there were many thrilling rescues. ' The house in which the fire occurred, 1 815 Columbus avenue, is a compara- < tively old structure. The lower floor is occupied by a saloon, and the entrance to the apartments is at 74 West 100th ! street. An air shaft divides the building from SI?> Columbus avenue, and It j was through this air . shaft that the flames spread. Tlin ffimilv whinh wnc w'norl wna tliftt of Jobn H. Thomasou, a bricklayer. Thomason left bis home at 7 o'clock and went to a meeting of his uiiion, promising to be home early. He hurried away from his comrades i when the business of the evening was , over and reached his corner shortly j after 9 o'clock. , He noticed a big crowd around the coruer and saw several fire engines , standing about. When he looked at . his house he saw that something was < wrong, and tried to reach the door. , A. policeman stopped him. A neighbor, < who recognized him, told him that the place had been burned out. The neigh- , bor didn't knoAv that his family had ( been burned, or if he did lacked the ( courage to tell him. "Where's Annie aud the children?" , asked Thomason. J "They must be around somewhere," the neighbor replied. Thomason- set out .to hunt for his wife and children. From one house to another he raii, growing more and more alarmed as he could find no trace \ of them. Finally a man who knew him and who knew the fate of the ( family advised him to go to the police station, half a block away, on West 100th street. He did so. "My name's Thomason," he said. "I'm hunting for my wife and babies." ! Sergt. Devery left his place and came out from behind the railing. "They're here," he said. "But you must bo brave." Then the sergeant told him that the bodies of his wife and children were in the section room. J The sliock so unnerved him that he had to be led away by friends. Mrs. Thomason was thirty years old. The children who were burned;with her were William, aged nine; Thomas, seven: John H.. Jr.. and Annre. twins, three years old, and Samuel, tlie baby, seven mouths old. The fire did $40,000 damage. It was caused by the explosion of a lamp in the apartment of Francis Ho3;ey,.on ! the second floor. Mrs. Holley was not J in the room at the time, and the burning oil, flying in every direction, had ignited the room in a dozen places, when she ran in to see what the trouble \ was. The window leading to the air shaft was up and the flames, fanned by the draught, soon found their way J out. . Mrs. Holley ran into the hallway and screamed "Fh-e!" James Radden, ' a ten-year-old boy who lived with his mother and father and two brothers , on the same floor, heard her cries and, ,! without stopping to ask any questions, stuck Lis brad in Lis door, gave tne.. , warniug, and tLcn raced downstairs and to tLe fire alarm bor on the cor- , ner. Policeman McLoughlin was standing 1 by the box, and when tLe boy, all Intent on Lis taalc, grabbed for the handle, stopped him. TLe policeman was informed of tlie situation, turned ] in tLe alarm, and, with the boy, hurried to the burning building. The Raddens and Mrs. Holley had already escaped when McLoughlin t reached the place. He kept on to the < third floor, where he gave the alarm, i and then,mounted to the fourth and J fifth. While he was on the fourth floor he was joined by Toliceman Fisher. 1 When the tenants on the third floor < and from the third floor up started to ; escape they found the stairways cut 1 oft' by the flames. On the third floor i there were Mr. and Mrs. Ira Vatt Nest J and two children and Mr. and Mrs. ] John J. Hynes and their brother-in- ' law. On the fourth floor were Patrick i Owens, his wife and four children, i and Mrs. Thomas O'Neill and seven 1 children. O'Neill was away from home.

St. Petersburg, Russia.?Two messengers who arrived here from Riga, having walked about 130 miles to cntch a train at Plock, not only confirm the report that a Provisional Government has been 3et up in Livonia, but say that maqy of the troops have gone over to the insurgents. Dvina Fort, commanding Riga bar bor. is in possession or itne reoeis, auu the,Governor and other Russian officials are prisoners. There is a reign -of terror at Riga. Women and children are liviu? in the upper stories of houses and foreign merchants are winding up their business or abandoning everything in orJer to escape. The Provisional Government exer?ises authority throughout Livonia ind part of Courland. The new Government has declared the separation of the Lithuanian people from the Russian Empire. The- Russian officials are being expelled from the provinces, and many 3f them have been killed in the streets of the towns. The people .have chosen new officials md have decreed the cloaing of the spirit shops and breweries and the annulment of contracts between the peasants and the "landowners. There is a general uprising of the aaHvft npusnnts -who are trav?:liae in armed bands, attacking the estates and driving off or killing their owne/u. Twelve thousand troops have been dispatched to the Baltic provinces. Some of the landowners have organized volunteer l?ttalions to protect their property, as the authorities are powerless to afford aid, but the majority are fleeing in terror. The peasants forbid the owners to sell grain or lumber and formally declare that the forests and estates of those who have departed will be confiscated. The position of the peasants in these provinces has been the most deplorable of any in the entire empire. Conditions almost approaching those of the. feudal system have been continued down to the present time. The peasants have practically been kept in a state of vassalage at the mercy of the German barons, from whom they rent land and purchase the right to cut rf/irvH on/1 fich in wfl tors nf tll<? Clllf. An Imperial ukase orders the convocation of representatives of the various classes of the' Baltic provinces, including the peasants, to work out a scheme for the crention of a zemstvo to control local affairs. It is doubtful, however, whether 'the promise of local self-government contained in the ukase will have much effect at least for the present, but it furnishes ample proof lhat the Government realizes that It is helpless to restore order v/ithout granting heavy concessions. The .partial concessions granted to the people of the Baltic provinces are bound to encourage the Poles, Georgians and other border peoples. Little is known of General Sollogub. who, it is reported, will be appointed. Governor-General of the Baltic ,provinces, but he is said to be a man of energy with fairly liberal ideas. .
