- A — FIRE CAUSES EMY L055 New Orleans Docks Swept and | Loss is $5,000,000. | WILL CRIPPLE EXPORT TRADE. aa { A Number of Persons Were Injured | and Homes of Many Pcor Fami- lies Destroyed. Fire involving millions of dollars’ loss in property and one that strikes a serious, if temporary, blow at the immense export trade of New Orleans swept the river front Sunday night and wiped out the vast freight termi- nals - of the Illinois Central, known as the Stuyvesant: docks. Nearly a dozen squares of modern wharves and freight sheds, two mag- nificent grain elevators, hundreds of loaded cars and vast quantities of freight, including 20,000 bales of cot- ton, were destroyed, with a large number of small residences. The fire was still raging furiously at midnight, at which time it had al- most reached the upper end of the Illinois Central property. It has not been determined whether there has been any loss of life. The ocean-go- ing shipping seems to have escaped | serious damage. A number of fire- men and employes of the docks were injured. Actual estimates of the losses are impossible, though they may exceed 5.000.000. The Stuyvesant docks cxtend from | Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon avenue, 12 squares. The wharves be- tween these two points were covered with miles of trackage and a steel and iron shed ran the whole distance., The two grain elevators were of the most modern construction the up- per one having a capacity of 1,000,000 bushels. Thousands of bales of cot- | ton, several hundred thousand pack- ages of sugar, great quantities of cot- tonsced oil and oil cake, lumber and every conceivable variety of freight filled the warehouse and sheds. Buildings Were Expensive. | Practically all the export business! handled by the Illinois. Central: was | put aboard ships at these docks. The Jog and improvements have been | under construction for 10 years past, ! elaborate extensions and immense in- vesiments having been made after the | constitutional convention of 1898 made | it possible for the road to invest. per- manently at this point. The fire was discovered shortly af- ter 7 o'clock. It was said to have | resulted from a journal that had not! been sufficiently oiled. DECREASING ITS BONDS Steel Combine Buying Them for Sink- ing“Fund Purposes. The forthcoming . annual report of the United States Steel Corporation will show decreascs in the outstand- ing first and second mortgage bonds, due to purchases for sinking fund pur- poses. October 1 last $8,652,000 of the first mortgage 5s had been purchased and held alive in the sinking fund under that provision of the indenture whicu provides that $154,000,000 of the total issue of first 5s, aggregating $304,- 000,000, may be purchased, all or in part, if obtainable, at not to exceeu 115 and interest. After April 1, 1913, they are subject to call through issues A, O and E, by Tot. Every year since its formation, be- ginning June 1, 1902, the steel corpora- ‘tion has set aside $3,040,000 for the sinking fund on the first mortgage bonds. June 1 next this will amount to $12,160,000. Another West Virginia Road. A charter has been granted to the ‘Grassy Creek Railroad Company, with | headquarters at Diana. Webster Coun- | fy, W. Va. The road is capitalized at ‘$25,000, and will be constructed from :@a point in the eastern part of Webster county to Pickens, Randolph county, a distance of 15 or 20 miles. Its route will be along the divide between the Elk and Holly rivers. The line is to be for a coal-carrier. NEW B. & O. EQUIPMENT 250 Locomotives and 10,000 Freight Cars Contracted for 19C5 Business.

United States Steel Company Is Owner cf the Mine. As a result of an explosion in shaft No. 1. of the United States Coal and Coke Company at Wilcoe, W. Va., 23 miners are supposed to have lost their lives, and. it is possible that the number will exceed this. 15 dead bodies have been taken from the shaft. A large rescuing party is in the mines. It is barely possible but not likely that some of the remaining entombed miners will be rescued alive. The explosion was of terrific force and shattered glass windows a mile | distant. Immediately after the shock great numbers of miners, who were off duty to-day, it being Sunday, rushed to the snaft, to find great clouds of smoke dust gushing from its mouth. Mothers, children and other relatives scon were weeping and pleading for the rescue of those dear to them en- tombed in the mine. The officials of the mines, includ- ing General Manager Reis, were soon on the ground, and the work of res- cuing miners was directed by Mr. Reis. The dead miners thus far re- covered are all Italians and. Hungar- ians. The Company usuaily works in this shaft about 75 miners, but as it was Sunday the men were not all in and the small loss of life can be attributed only to this fact. The United States Coal & Coke Com- pany, with principal offices in: Pitts- burg, Pa., is’'a part of the United States' Steel ‘corporation. THE CZAR OBDURATE War Will Be Continued With the Ut- most Energy. A message from Berlin says: The Emperor of Russia has elected to continue the war. His position is absolutely firm, and the German court has been advised in that sense. The will be pressed with the utmost energy, the domestic situation being now within the control of the authori- ties. Those who have advised peace and suggested inquiries for Japanese terms, the French and British govern- ments, are for the present silent and are likely to remain so unless events of an extraordinary character shake the Russian Emperor’s resolution. The considerations that led to the Emperor's decision as understood are: The judgment of the chiefs of the army that Field Marshal Oyama not only cannot defeat Gen. Kurcopatkin, but stands in. danger of defeat himself. How cowardly, therefore, for Russians to ask for mercy with all the men and money essential to a successful war. All the forces of criticism now direct- ed against the government for having fought, rather than yielded to legiti- mate interests and for having failed to win victories would be continued with added fury against the govern- ment that accepted war and then be- trayed the country. A government that would crave peace of Russia's enemy while still capable of winning victory, would be giving enemies of the government grounds for a revolu- tion. FIRE AT HOT SPRINGS Arkansas Town Suffers a Less of $2,000,000. The most appalling fire in the his- tory of Hot Springs broke out Satur- day and destroyed 100 business hous- es and 200 homes.

Mexican forces under General Tor res, numbering about 400, have killed 40 Yaquis and taken 167 prisoners in a two-days’ battle with the savages in the mountains east of La Colorado. Mexican officers refused to make any statement of their own losses. It is said there were 300 warriors by Torres. | About 100 of these broke through the Mexican lines and escaped, but the main force was hurled at a detach ment commanded by Captain Luis Barron, an old Yaqui fighter, who was guarding one of the mountain passes. He held the savages in check until the arrival of reinforcements, when they were driven back with heavy loss and surrendered. Standard Buys Oi! Field. Advices from Mexico state that the Standard Oil Company has acquired control of the Ebano oil fields, includ- ing the producing wells, oil refinery and pipe lines of the Mexican Petro- leum company.

It is as follows: The commission gives no opinion on the question of the presence or ab sence of Japanese torpedo boats in the North Sea, declaring mcreiy tha the Russian admiral quite legitimately believed that his squadron was en dangered and that he had the right under the circumstances, to act a: he did.

A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company from St. Petersburg says: “The question of peace has not only been formally discussed, but the pre- pared to make peace have practically been agreed upon. These are as fol- lows: ’ ‘ “Korea to be placed under Japan- ese suzerainty. “Port Arthur and the Liao-Tung peninsula to be ceded to Japan. “Vladivostok to be declared a neutral port with an open door. “The Eastern Chinese railroad to be placed under neutral international | administration. “Manchuria as far north as Har: bin to be restored as an integral part of the Chinese empire. “The difficulty lies in settling the question of indemnity, upon which it is ‘known Japan Insists, but it is thought that this difficulty is not in- superable. Peace May Soon Come. “The most trustworthy opinion at St. Petersburg is that in view of the internal situation and the enormous difficulty in carrying on the war, peace on the terms outlined will be concluded within a comparatively short time, if the indemnity question | can be arranged, but it is quite pessi- | ble Russia will risk another battle be- | fore a decision is reached.” ! A comparison of these terms with | the Japanese offer indicates that Russia is practically willing to yield everything for which the war has been fought, and only balks at the in- | demnity. So complete an acknowl- | edgement of defeat has rarely been made by a nation of the first cl . Concessions 1, 2 and 3 on this list | are exactly in accordance with what | the mikado has indicated to the | government of the United States and | Europe as what he would insist on. | Concessions 4 and 5 form an alter- | | native suggestion to Japan’s proposi- | tion that the railroad as far as Har- | bin should be vested in Japan, with | a strip one verst wide on each sida of this line. It is believed that the terms are so worded to give a margin by which | Russia can ultimately yield in the | matter of Saghalien on condition of | Japan's foregoing the indemnity, | which it is believed is a possible | compromise. While peace reports are circulating the information reaches here that Gen. Kuropatkin is industricusly pre- paring to try final conclusions with Field Marshal Oyama, and that a de- cisive battle may be expected within a fortnight.

Heroic methods were resorted to to bring the man to consciousness. At 8 o’clock Wednesday night 75 bodies had been recovered from the Virginia mines in which the explos- ion occurred Monday afternoon. Rescuers are still at work in the slope and as the diggers advance the bodies farther in the mine are found to be worse burned and mutilated than those nearer the exterior. No hope is now held out that any of the men can be alive. Only three men were found whose hearts were still beating and they expired immediately on reaching the outer air. Hundreds of dollars have been sub- seribed in the suburbs and the Birmingham Commercial Club has raised more than $3,000 for the suff crers. ‘Alabama District No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, voted $5,000 to be distributed amon the families. Among the notable con- tributions was one of $20 by Jacob Riis, who lectured in Birmingham.
