ST. PETERSBURG, spccial.-Horrible scenes
are reported as having occurred during the
burning of Tomsk, tho capital of Western
Siberia. The place was visited simulta-
neously by conflagration and cyclone,
the result Of the combined disasters being
the destruction Of threc-quarters OF the
buildings, which were of wood, and the
loss ofhundrctls of lives. The cathedral.
situated i'll High Town, is in ashes. The
walls ofthc cdifice in falling crushed an
adjacent hospital, burying the inmates, who
were subsequently roasted alive. The gar.
rison brutally refused to render the least
assistance in saving lives and property, OH
the plea that they had enough to
do to protect the barracks and other
government buildings. They also added
that they had no time to assist WORTHLESS
cxiles." The panic-stricken mob of suffer-
ers huddled togcthe. in the streets, and,
firmly believing that the end of the world
had come. abandoned themselves to stolid
despair. Much of the suffering might have
been avertcd had there been the slightest
attempt ut organized relief. As If fire and
water were not capable of infiicting misery
enough to the unfortunate outcasts. the
storm was followed by q sudden fall i'll the
temperature, and soon the devastated city
was buried beneath mantle Of snow Sat

foreign policy Of the government continued
to be more and more harmonious with the
feeling of the people. The bill did not deal
with the question OF impending war, bu:
rather with providing against the bur
dens of possible war. The Saigner
Blanc OF which Prince bismarck had
spoken, would in the event of war, hold
good despite the ideas of the Socialists. He
said that Prince Bismarck's bcqucst to his
