A despatch from Elk Lake, Ont., says: The third heavy fire in the history of Elk Lake started on Sat- urday morning at 6 o’clock, over the kitchen of the Matabanick Hotel. The spread of the fire was so rapid that many inmates barely escaped. Three men, two being boarders, Ed. O’Keeffe and Robert Sovie, who failed to awake, and the third, Wm. Wilkinson, caretakâ€" er, met death in the flames. Two other guests at the hotel, Joseph Fletcher of Gowganda and Edward McClellan of Elk Lake, were badly burned about the head, arms and legs in making their escape. Mcâ€" Clellan’s feet also were frozen, and his oondition is critical. Through the window of the hotel the fire leaped to the adjoining buildings, which were close, and, in rapid suc- cession, the Gowganda Trading Company, two Lang, Jodouin Com- pany buildings and the Hudson Bay store were wiped out: Returns From a Skating Party and Ends His Life.

Commander Evans said that. reckoning by the progress of the supporting parties, Captain Scott should have returned to Hut Point by March 17.4 Regarding the shortage of fuel, he said that Scott had enough fuel to last a month beyond the date of his expected re- turn.

Evans’ story of the work we- oomplished by the Scott exploring expedition: The Christchurch correspondent of the London Daily Mail tele- graphs an interview with Lieut. Evans, in which the commander re~ fused to be drawn into a discussion of What he called “wicked rumors and conjectures.” He denied the stories of dissensions, and was em. phatic in his statement that the supporting party on their way back after having bade farewell to Cap- tain Scott and his comrades on their way to the pole did not meddle with the oil. “There was evaporation,” he said, “owing to the leather washers of the cans, and as the supplies were cut so fine, this made a considerable shortage.” Lieut. Evans declared that the rumors that Seaman Evans had gone insane were cruel, scandalous and baseless, adding that he be« haved admirably. Capt.
