Late Reports From Klondike Tell

Certain Suffering.
The New Austrian Premier Has Formu-
lated a Plan Which He Believes will

Troubles.


NEW YORK, Nov. pa dispatch
to the World from Havana says:
The Worlds first figures of Cuba 9
starvation were timidly moderate.
They showed the death of only 200, 900
persens: but every painful fact un-
earthed tends to prove them nearly
double that number. When the grim
returns are all in it is now almost GER
tair that this Cuban massacre of the
iunocents will reach 100000. And
this awful number does not include
those killed in battle or the thousands
and thousands of women and children
who died of exposure, disease and mas
sacre in the swamps.
1t now seems certain that more than
half million people, for the most part
loyal subjects of Spain. have been
killed by the Spanish war in Cuba. A
weeks trip through the provinces of
Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara has
tended to make moderate this tremend-
Gus exit eme figure.
The figures of Spanish official reports
show but part Of the mortality. They
only give the number buried in conse-
Grated ground, and they do not give
that fully. And yet these officials ul-
tra-Spanish reports of burial permits
issued admit that in the province of
Santa Clara there have died and been
buried since Weyler's fiat, 71,S47 per-
sons.
The number of. people. for whose
existence Wnyler is directly response
BILE is 155. 1872 in Santa Clara province.
And of these he has killed S6.2lG, or
over one-half of them. Santa Clara |
has so far been by far the least desti-
tute of the provinces. 1t has many !
cattle and not very thick population.
Between it and the 90 per cent ad-
mitted dead in Pinar del Rio are the
provinces of Matanzas and Havana,
with so and 20 der cent mortality re-
spectively. These percentages are es-
tablished by tie actual figures of some /
30 cities and towns. Applied to the /
1enser populations of their respective
the total deaths since Wey-
ler's "bando" will foot up nearly
million.

Lawmakers Fight.

VIENNA, Nov. 26.-The disorder IN
the lower house of the reichsrath was
so accentua.ed today that strong de-
tachment of police had to be called in
to preserve order. When the presi-
dent of the house entered he was greet
Ell with vociferous shouts of Get out. "
The leftists rose to their feet in a body,
many of the deputies shrieked wildly
and an indescribable tumult followed.
During the. tumult, a social demo-
crat, Herr Berner, made rush for the
president and a lively fist fight followed
between Berner and the house at
tendants. Thereupon another social
democrat, Herr Resell, jun ped upon
the ministerial bench and hurrying to
the presidential chair, seized the
papers which were lying ON the presi-
dents desk and tore them to pieces,
while other social democrats fastened
to Berner's assistance, occupied the
tribune and demanded satisfaction for
the attendants pummeling of Berner.
President A brahamcis " as compelled
to fee.
Subsequently, the social democrats
apd deputies INDUCED in free fgh.,
and Berner was elected from the house.
The disturbers were eventually re-
moved from the platform forcibly and
singly by the police.

TIE CAPITOL IMPROVED
1t Has Been Frightened and Re-
touched During the Summer.
Few of the Senator's and Repre-.
sentatives i'll the City Visited
1t Today.

Owing probably to the dark, r4in-.
gloomy weather today very few of the
Senators and Representative now in the
city visited the Capitol. AS the organiza-
tioD of both branches of Congress was
thoroughly effect ed during the ezra
session last spring and the House commit
tees appointed before the adjournment,
there was no necessity for a gathering
of the statesmen in the big white buil.iing
this morning.
TheCapitol has i,een grea eatlyinproveiand
frightened during the past -four months.
The frescoed walls and corridors have been
retouched, and paint has been applied
wherever it was needed. New doors of
maple wood. with exquisite French glass
panels, have been substituted for the old
ones in the Senate galleries.
Vice President Hobart's private room
has been richly furnished, and Speak ker
Reeds room, at the other end of the Capt.
tol, has sorgeously bright, new carpet,
and handsome curt aims and draperies have
been added.
The hall OF the House of Representa- .i-es
boasts also Of a new carpet, and ihere
have been many other improvements I'D lie
there.
Altogether there is freshness abOnt the
grand building that will be very attractive
to the eyes OF the statesmen and the thor
sabds OF visitors who will be present II he

PROPERTY OWNERS RIGHTS
Question CONCERNING House Build
ing to Be legally Tested.
Petition Of Mandamus Filed by James
H. Richa rds Against the District
commissioners.

The question whether property owner
has right to build houses under the six
teen feet minimum width limit prescribed
by the building regulations is To be tried
by law.
James II. Richards, by the United States.
today filed a petition for a writ OF n All
damus against the District Commissioners
to compel themtc allow him to erect three
buildings under the width limit.
Mr.. Richards Is the owner OF three los
On New Jersey avenue southeast lots "a.
25 and 26, IL, Square north OF square f3.
On one of these lots Mr.. Richards has u
house, 1115 dew Jersey avenue. which
has been his residence for many years. 1t
occupies the whole twenty four feet width
Of the lot except eight inches on one side
next the other lots.
Some time ago the owner and occupant
decided to build three houses on the other
two lots. There was a window and con-
servatory on the side OF his residence next
to the lots, ho wever, and he decided to have
a narrow alley space next his house.
The total width of the other two lots
with the eight inches OF the first would not
allow this alley. unless he made The new
houses nsrIC wer than the sixteen foot
limit. He decided to make each house
fifteen feet wide and have himself an
alley for Light and other purposes, nearly
three feet wide.
Mr.. Richards made application for permit
a few weeks ago, and was refused by the
building Inspector. He appealed to the
Commissioners, as was told In The Times
when the appeal was made. The Commits
sioners decided against him also. ON the
ground that they did not want to change
the building regnlat ions, Which make six
teen feet the minimum width for dwell
ing.
Mr.. Richards petition states that the
houses he proposes to build will I've sanitary.
safe and convenient, and will comply in
every other way than this one with the
building regulations.
He makes the plea that under the cir
cuinstances the Commissioners have no
right ~ ci,force purely arbitrary reg
ulation. to his great detrir,ent and Pc
cuniary loss. He says that their action
is in effect an unconstitutional attempt To
hinder hin. from enjoying his property as
he desires. Mr.. Richards attorneys are

AN OLD MANS WANDERINGS
John Patterson Lost His Memory,

family communicated with the proprietors
of the straw works, who ca used inquiries
TO be made about his movements on Octo-

the fact that the old NAH had started for
New York. Efforts were made to trace
him further along the line of railway. but
these were cf no avail.
Not satisfied with tue result of thes H..
quiries, Fred Patterson, the missing mans
son, wen. to Chica 80 10 conduct u personal

To this work the young man devoted "a
