he recommended the consideration
of di> eases of cattle, the improvement
of breeds, transportation and discrimi-
nation against shippers of live stock,
formation of an international govern
ment commission to consider the ques-
ton of restrictions upon the American
beef in Europe, the necessity of substi-
tuting some mechanical appliance to
designate cattle and thus do away with
hide destroying brands; the formation
of a special association of horse growers.
the necessity of practical national legis
latiOn through which alone the existing
local troubles can be settled, and finally
the consolidation of several national
associations devoted to the cattle in

NEW YORK, November 23-The acci.
dental upsetting of a kerosene lamp in
the rooms of Otto Matsbeck, on the
third floor of FIVE story tenement, 4O4
East Sixty-fourth Street. early this
morning, was the signal for agonizing
scenes of terror and death. The house
and the one adjoining were filed with
Bohemian cigar makers, employed in
the neighbOring factory. One hundred
and fifty people slept soundlY, when the
CRY of fire was raised. The flames COM
municated TO the floors above through
convenient air shafts. A scene
of wild confusion and panic
ensued. The frightened tenants took
TO the fire escapes with all haste. They
were given shelter by neighbors. while
the firemen were fighting the flames
This was not an easy task. as the-upper
stories and roof we're ablaZe and the
flames had spread to 406. Reinforce
ments were summoned and the fire
quickly subdued. There is about
100000 damage to the buildings and
property of the tenants. There were
some narrow escapes. and two women
with their children are reported to have
been slightly burned, but the firemen
were not prepared to find a whole
family Smothered to death. In the
rear room on the top floor they came
upon Mary Tealka, a widow 30 years
old. and her children, Mary, aged Z,
and Annie aged years, lying
dead. IL was three hours after the out
break when this discovery was made.
Closer search was made, but no other
bodies had been discovered up to S
o'clock. A report spread early among
the homeless tenants that the house had
been deliberately set on fire by one of
their number. Henry Kohul. a Bohem.
ian cigar maker. was pointed out as the
guilty one. He had disappeared and |
did not show up until later in the MORN |
ing when he was arrested. By that /
time the police had collected evidence |
to make the charge of arson |
and murder against him. rhe excite |
ment OF the BOhemians had become a |
furious rage, and threats of Iynching |
was made. Kohul is insured for 5000 |
while his furniture was scarcely worth
675. The charge is that he set fire to
the house to get this money.
The IRE marshal began taking teSti
mOny later. concerning the origin OF
the fire. From this it appeared the fire
broke out in Kohul's room. and that
kerosene oil had been poured over the
bed and floor; the hallway and stairs
we're in flames, and the only way of
escape for the tenants was by the fire

The churches, the convent and the town hall were thrown to the ground. The inhabitants are gathered outside the town, where they are shivering around fires. One hundred and ninet-twoy corpses have been taken from the ruins and active efforts are making to re- cover the others. Many persons were res cued alive after being partly buried for twenty-six hours. Some were half crazed with fright. Troops have since brought provisions for the needy. Similar tales are told of the disaster in Albaina where the scenes are described as fantastic and weird The shock at Granada Thursday night was more severe than any since Tuesday. The people were afraid to remain in their houses and stayed in the streets all night. It being the tenth shock since Tuesday, the panic among the people was greatly increased. Shocks of earthquake continue to be felt at Jaen, Malaga, Benamagosa and Velez- Mala- ga. Several severe shocks were experienced at Torrox on Wednesday and Thursday and more buildings were destroyed.
