HE MIKADO Sanctions Use of Education Reserve For Railways IN MANCHURIA RUSSIAN SOLDIERS ARE MA- RAUDING AND FORAGING. One Million Yen For War Pur poses--Chinese Railway Direc- tor Returns From Admiral Alexieff, Pekin, Dec. 31.--The announcement of the promulgation of an ordinance by the Mikado of Japan, authorizing the use of the education and emergence «reserve funds of fifty millions for rail way construction in Corea, is inter- preted as preliminary to the conclu- sion of the negotiations with which Japan and Russia have amused each other, and which the Japan legation here regards as now practically de funct. 'the moderation and control of temper shown by Japan in the nego tiations until there is & better state of western opinicn, are admired. The freczing of Lake Baikad is looked up- on as a favorable point for Japan, as it will stop any appreciable augmen- tation of the Russian army. Travel lers arriving here report the prevalence of 'unusual disorders in Manchuria. De- predations and foraging by Russian soldiers, as well as brigandage, are widespread. Russia Disappointed With China, London, Dec. 31.--A Times Tokio special says : Yesterday's ordinance empowers the government to employ for war purposes all the funds ia special accounts amounting to over one hundred million yen. The ordin- ance also sanctions short loans and exchequer Londs, uyafen, the director of the Chinese railways has just returned from gq journsy to Port Arthur, as the guest of the Admiral »xieff, with whom he discussed railway matters. The ad- miral proposed that China continue the railway from Hsinmi to Mukden, thereby bringing Mukden within twen- ty-four hours of Pekin. The director said he would have to consult the Pe Lin authorities. Asked why Russia had failed to fulfil her promise to evacuate Manchuria, 'the admiral re- plied that Russia was greatly disap- pcinted with China, which country, instead.of listening to the profiers' of an amicable agreement, had allowed herself to be deceived by Japan into a general uniriendliness. Huyufen was requested to send a message to Pekin, inviting the court to send an imperial prince to Port Arthur, to arrange matters with the admiral away from Japanese intrigues. Al A BIG COMPANY. To Develop Cape Breton Coal and Iron. . Halifax, Dec. 31.--It is learned that leading financiers in Boston and New York, with H, M.

Mr, Whitney owns extensive deposits of iron ore and dolomite, in different parts of the county, also in Labrador and Newfoundland. The proposed scheme, it is said, includes the purch ase by the new company of the coal and iron areas of the Cape Breton Coal and Iron Railway company. A. B.

Min#ola, L.L, Dec.-31.--~The will of John Alexander Whitaker, one of the most remarks blind men that Long Island has ever known, has been ad- mitted to probate in the Nassau county surrogate's office. Whitaker became totally blind when a boy and was sent to the New York institution for the blind. At that time Grover Cleveland, who little thought then that one day he would become the head of the nation, was a book- keeper in the institution. He took a great fancy to the blind though hap- py youth, and taughts him many things not in the curriculum. As a re sult Whitaker left the institution an exceedingly bright voung man. The friendship = between the blind youth and President Cleveland com: tinued for years, and even after Grov- er Cleveland became president he wrote occasionally to his blind pro- tego of the training school. The real estate of Whitaker is valu- ed at $12,000, and the personal estate it is understood; is more than 850, 000, ' GOVERNOR JAMES K. WARDMAN.

GRAHAM ATI'PROVES. ---- Endorses Fhe Calling Of The Leg- islature. Brockville, Ont., Dec. ham, M.P.P., says: the early calling of the legislature,' as it is much more convenient to the members, and better for the province. To postpone election protests, which are pending would be absurd. Some of them have been already pending near a yegr, and may be still hanging Ya hence, Elgetion trials are fre- ently post "Oi various exts, and to make the business of the prov. ince and the meeting of the house sub servient to the movements of the Jaw- vers in these cases would be childish. 1i all went to trial as announced, which is not at all likely, an appeal might be entered in such case on both sides, which might prévent the legislature meeting for months, if the principl: were adopted that the house should not be called together while election trials are pending. No interest, eith- er constitutional, business or political, suffers by the calling of an carly ses. 1.--G. P. Gra- "1 approve oi sion. Nothing Unusual. Toronto, Dec. 31.--There is nothing unusual about a January session of the house. Rfocd, it appears that January has bben the favorite month for calling the Ontario legislature to- gether.

Over Five Hundred Killed During Fire IN 'A THEATRE AND CONSIDERED SAFEST IN CHICAGO. There Was a Terrible Plunge For The Exits And Hundreds Were Trampled Under Foot--The Cause of The Fire, Which Started Around The Scenery. Chicago, Dec. 31.--Five hundred and fifty people were killed within ten minutes yesterday afternoon, during au fire in the Iroquois theatre, the new: est, the largest, and as far as human power could make it, the safest thea: tre in Chicago. A few of these peo ple were burned to death by fire, many were suffocated by gas and scores were trampled to death in the panic that followed the mad plunge of the fright ened audience for exits. It will ha many hours before the number of dead is accurately known and many davs before all' will be identified. The accounts of the origin of the the play, "Mr. Blue Beard," the first production in the theatre since the latter's erection, are conflicting, and none of them cer tain, but the best reason given is that an electric wire near the lower part of a piece of drop scenery broke and grounded, setting the scenery ablaze. Eddie Foy, the comedian of the company, shouted to lower the curtain, which was of asbestos. An effort was made to do this, but th: curtain stuck, when half-way down. Forced by the strong draught, the flames shot out through the opening over the heads of the people on the first floor and up to those in the first balcony, who were caught and burn- ed to death, Immediately following this rush of flames there came an explosion of the gas reservoirs which lifted the entire roof off the theatre from its walls, shattering the great skylight into fragments. As soon as the flames first appeared beyond the curtain somebody shouted "Fire! Fire!" and the entire andi: ence, which numbered about 1,300, rose as one person and made for the doors. Chicago Shocked. Rarely in history of Chicago have ids. people been so stirred as Aha calamity of to-day. Next to the Chi- cago fire this is the greatest catas- trophe that has ever occurred here. The news spread with great rapidity, and in a short time hundreds of men; women and children were rushing to- ward the theatre. The "building in which the calamity occurred stands midway between State and Dearborn streets on the north side of Randolph street. Although every available policeman within the call of the department was hurried to the spot, and the men placed in lines at the end of the block allowing no- body to enter Randolph street from cither Dearborn and State streets, it was found for a time almost impossi- ble to hold back the frenzied crowd that pressed forward, many of them having friends or relatives in the the: atre and anxious to learn something of them. The conduct of the police de- serves all praise, In spite of the efforts of the police, however, a large number of people succeeded in breaking through the lines and entering the theatre, and in many cases did heroic work in rescu- ing the injured and carrying out the dead. Caught In The Balconies. As near as can be estimated at the present time about 1,300 persons were in the theatre. Three hundred of these were on the first floor, the balance be- ing in the two upper balconies and in the hallways back of them. The theatre is modelled after the Opera Comique in Paris, and from the rear of each balcony there axe three doors leading out to passageways to wards the front of the theatre, Two of these doorways are at the end of the balcony, and onc being in the centre. The audience, in its rush for the outer air, seems to have, for the greater part, chosen to flee to the left entrance, and to attempt to make its way down the eastern stairway lead: ing into the lobby of the theatre. Outside of the people burned and suffocated by gas it was in these two doorways on the first and second hal- conies that the greatest loss of life occurred. When the firemen entered the building the dead were found stretched in a pile reaching from the head of the stairway at least cight feet from the door, back to a point about, five feet in the rear of the door. i This mass of dead hodies in the centre of the. doorway reached to within two feet of the top of the pas- sageway. All of the corpses at this point 'were women and children. The fight for life which must have taken place at these two points; ia something that is simply bevend hu. wan power to adesuntely describe. Only a faint idea of its horror could he derived from the aspect of the bod- ies as they lay. Women on top of these masses of dead had been over- taken hy death as they were crawling on their hands and knees over the bodies of those who had died before. Others lay with arms stretched out in the direction toward which lav life and safety, holding in their hands fragments of garments evidently torn from others whom they had endeavor- ed to pull down and frample under foot, as they fought for their own TWAS AWHIL £5 = the sight became too much even for the police and firemen, hardenad as they are to such scenes. 'he bodies were 'an inextei- cable mass and so were thev jammed between the sides 'of the deer and walls that it was impossible to lift them one'hy one 'and carry than out. The only possible thing to do was to seize a limb or some ot portion of the body and pull with wain strength. Men worked at the task with tears running down their cheeks and the sobs of the rescuers could he heard even in the hall below where this aw< ful scene was being enacted. A number of men were compelled to abandon their task and vive it. over to others whose nerves had not as 'yet been shaken. As one by one the bodies 'were diag: ged out of the water-sonked blacken- ed mass of corpses the spectacle ke- came more and more heartrendi ny There were women whose clothing was torn completely from their bodies above the waist, whose bosoms had been trampled into a pulp, and whose faces were marred beyond all rower of | identification.

In some places 'they wert fhifed up in the aisles three and fou where ne had fallen and otherdiftpped over the prostrate. form and-&ll had 'lied where they lay, evidently suffocated by the as. One man was found with his back bent nearly double, his spinal column having been fractured as he was thrown backwards. A woman was found cut nearly in half by the back of the seat, she having been forced over it face downwards. In the isles nearest the doors the scenes were harrowing in the ex. treme. Bodies lav in every conceivable attitude, half naked, the look on their faces revealing some of the agony which must have preceded their death, There were scores and scores of people whose faces had literally been trampled completely off by the heels of those who rushed over them, and in one aisle the body of a man was found with hardly a vestige of cloth ing or flesh above his waist line, 3 The entire upper portion of his body had been cut into mince-meat and carried awav hy the feet. of those who had trampled on him. A search' was carefully made, with a hope of find: ing his head, but at a late hour to- nicht it had not been discovered, and all that will ever tell his friends who he was is the color and apvearance of his 'clothing on the lower limbs, and this is in such a condition. as to be hardly recognizable, Removal Of Bodies. The. building was so full of smoke | when the firemen fire} arrived that the full extent of the cataktrophe was not immediately grasped until a fireman and a newspaper man crawled up the stairs leading to the balcony, holding handkerchiefs over their mouths to avoid suffocation. As they reached the doorway the fireman seized his companion by the arm, exclaimipg "Good God, man, don't walk on their faces." The two men tried vainly to get through the door, which was jammed with dead women, piled higher than cither of their heads. All the lights in the theatre were necessarily out, and the only illumination came through the cloud of smoke that hung between the interior of the theatre and the street, The two men hurried to the floor below and informed Chief Musham, of the fire department, that the dead bodies were piled high in the balcony, and prompt assistance must be rendered. The chief at once called upon all his men in the vicinity to abandon work on the fire and come at once to the rescue. The building was so dark and the smoke so thick that it was found impossible to accomplish anything until lights had been secur- edi Over 200 lights were quickly car- ried into the building, and the work of rescue commenced. So rapidly were the bodies brought down that for over an hour there were two streams of men passing in and out of the door- way, the one carrying bodies the other composed men to gel more. The bodies were carried into Thompson's restaurant, which adjoins the theatre on the east. The dead and wounded were placed upon chairs, tables and counters, Although all the patrol waggons and every ambulance owned by the city were pressed info service, they were utterly inadequate to carry away the dead and in a short time there was a line fifty feet long of corpses piled two and three high on the sidewalk in front of the theatre. It was found necessary in order to convey the bodies rapidly to the mor- gue and to the various undertaking establishments, to impress trucks into service, and in these the dead were hauled away. The merchants in the vicinity of the theatre rose to the emergency in splendid fashion. Marshall, Field & Co., Nandel Bros., Schlesinger & Ayer; Carson Pierce, Scott & Co., and other large drygoods stores sent waggon load after waggon load of ian rolls of linen and packages of cotton to be used in binding up the wounds of the injured and to. cover the dead Doctors and trained nugses were on the ground by the score within half an hour after the extent of the calam- ity was known. A number of doc tore waited at the entrance to the theatre witn stot ws in hand to examine the bodies which were brought out for signs of life. a One large truck, ordinarily used for conveying freight to pots, was so heavily loaded with dead in front of the theatre that the two large horses attached to it were unable to start, and the police were compelled to assist by tugging at the wheels. .
