PITTsBURG, May 7-Several streams OF
water were kept pouring upon the ruins
OF the big fire throughout the day. The
city building inspectors have completed
an examination OF the burned district and
the surrounding damaged buildings. They
now estimate the losses at about $500, 900,
and say that very little OF the destroyed
property is uninsured. It is feared that
the Pittsburg Female college Is a total
loss. One half Of the building is Quilted
by fire, while the part which escaped the
fire is thoroughly saturated with water
and probably beyond repair. The building

Providence, r. l., May THE Journal
today says in reference to the recent find
ings OF the grand jury in the New Orleans
lynching matter that it seems TO have
found verdict against all the parties ex-
cept those engaged in the lynching. Never
theless it is true that as civilized nation
the United States is bound to give redress
in cases Of violence inflicted by its citizens
upon those Of a foreign country, so that it
is a serious defect in our system that it has
no authority to proceed by forms of law
and only by special action of congress.
This weakness in the laws should be remed-
led before there is a more serious difficulty,
which may arise at any time.
