LIGHT FOR BRAMBLEToN
Editor of The yirginian:


Allow me n little space, If you please,
TO express few ideas on this important
matter for thc Fifth Ward If any ward
needs more light than another, this one
has claims that command due notice.
Two street car lines over which electric
lines are dashtng and whirlinE until al
most midnight icquire lights sufficient
to make this safe conveyance for pas
scngers and TO render the streets safe
Tor pedestrians and carriages that may
DC crossing or travelling them at the
same time The cars are running, When
the nights are dark the car headlights
do not reflect sufficient distance to
enable the motorman to sec far enough
ahead to make proper steps for paSscn-
gers or 10 avoiC dangerous collisions. a.
llght-ahead Is necessary all the extent
OF the line to serve these purposes 1t is
observable that when n. car has passed
n light with no more lights ahead for
some distance, the darkness is thus in
ienS!iied, and IL Is very difficult TO see
an object any distance. A light Is need
ed on Maltby avenue to help the Queen
street line; also one at the corner of
Park and Brlnrbleton avenues, and
one on B:amblcton where the Clay
avenue line connects with the Queen
street line. Cars are running too. on the
Virginia Beach railroad until n lac
hour and hundreds OF passengers en-
route, while the yards and the vicinity

Even the ultra-liberal Tage blatt says:
"If King George is deaf to earnest re-
monstrances his impotence must be

The Neue Free Presse warns Greece
that If provoked Turkey would be justified
in attacking Thessalia with disastrous
consequences to Greece. The same jour-
nal publishes telegram from CONSTANT
nople showing that the whole of the Gre
tan troubles have been long and svste-
matically fomented by Cretan committee
at Athens, which has sent numerous
emissaries to Crete, honeycombing the
island with seditious pamphlets.
This latest Greek coup was not entirely
unexpected in diplomatic circles, since re-
peated suspicious inquiries have been ad-
dressed by the commander of the Greek
fleet TO the commanders of ships of other
nationalities in Cretan waters as to what
action would be taken in certain eventu-
alities.
A special cable dispatch to the Herald
from ST. Petersburg says: In certain dip

concerning the Black Sea squadi on, which
is collected and ready to steam at any
hour from Sebastopol.
Here the Admiralty staff has been
busted calculating exactly the time in
which the most rapid run could be made
from Sebastopol to Constantinople and
how quick the British fleet could get TO
the Golden Horn.
AS alarmist rumors are gaining ground
it will be useful 10 publish the true situ-
alton as told by one who has the best
reason to know. His words were: "The
Russian fleet is prepared, not for the pur-
pose of seizlng Constantinople, but to
start at once if England were to attempt
any such movement, in which case it
would be a fight to the end

drawing card. His idea was, however,
that battle between Lavigne and some
man he might be able to find would be a
great event. Lavigne weighs 1877 pounds
in the ring, and he regards him as the
greatest fighter of his weight in the world.
He is trying to locate some man near the
same weight who Is fit to go against him.
As vet he knows of no one who could meet
the great pace the lightweight could set
when called on.
The exact location of the pavilion was
not announced, but will be tomorrow. 1t
will be large enough to hold 2S, 900 people,
and Stuart expects 10 fill it. 1t will be
nearly square in form. The Carson and
Tahoe F.ume Company must have had a
tip some time ago or felt pretty certain
as the yard has been running full hand ed
on lumber and dimension timber. The
place of location will probably be the
racetrack, as il is near the track which
takes lumber from the mill and close to
where the Pullmans would sidetrack.
The north half OF the track is an ideal
place for such a building, where the
ground is as level as a biiliard-table for
twelve or fifteen acres.
Yesterday the town was invaded by re-
porters, artists and kodak sharps who

1t was known last evening that Fred
Dangberg had offered Stuart the old base
ball grounds near the box factory for
nothing if he would build there. Circus
exhibits, baseball matches and football
matches have hallowed the spot to sports
men, but as it was only $50 feet square
it was regarded as rather small and moth
ing about Carson seems quite big enough
but the racetrack. There IS talk of put
ting up Tattersall hotel and making it a
sporting headquarters, but any attempt
on the part of the promoters of the scheme
to purchase lot on Main street suitable
for such a building is met by demand
for money enough to pave the ground
with gold. This wretched policy will kill
all the intentions of the promoters If il is
kept UP. Carson could afford to give
these lots to investors, and she would still
be largely the gamer.

the parties to the contest and have a talk
with Julian.
The representatives of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad invited the party to
take a carriage and go to some sporting
resorts for refreshments until time to
board the 10 O'Clock train on the Rock
Island road for Colorado, but Manager
Julian and Fitzsimmors declined with
thanks. They strolled leisurely over the
two blocks to the Van Buren, street depot,
the Australian champion leading his dogs
to give them exercise. He was followed
by gaping crowd and had 10 take refuge
in a baggsge-car with his pets.
To representative of the United AS
sociated Presses Fitzsimmons said he was
feeling in fine condition, weig hing about
179, and if he did not think he could whip
Corbett he would not have 81 ned articles.
He expects to arrive in Carson City next
Thursday, which would leave him month
of exclusive training at his quarters-all
he would want.
Martin Julian show big roll of bills,
amounting to $4,000. which he explained
was the side bet for the fight. He an
nounced that he would send the money
from Colorado Springs to AL Smith, the
stakeholder, in New York, explaining that
he did not pay over the money in New
York so as to avoid any possible chance
of legal disturbance. He intends to go
right through to Carson and select the
training quarters. He has offers from
three places. Fitzsimmons will make
three stops to give exhibitions-at Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Leadville. Julian
said he. Hickey and Roeber would be
behind Fitzsimmons in the ring.

was accompanied by Mr.. Wheelock, his

also arrived. Stuart had come direct
from San Francisco and looked = trite
tired, as he had been up until o'clock in
the morning. 1t had been merry party
along the road, and the press correspond

Stuart had painted the car with cham
payne, and in fact exhausted the supply.
He went rom the train 10 the Airing ton,
where rooms had been engaged, and
after registering he called the press repre-

will lie in Carson. You can wire it TO the

went to bed. There was a race for the
telegraph Office and the news was soon on

PARLIAMENT BUILDING BURNS.
Damaging Fire in Ottawa and There Was
No Insurance on the Property
DESTROYED

OTTAWA, ONT, Feb. II. - At 5:45
o'clock this afternoon fire started in the
packing-room OF the public works in the
upper part of the Parliament buildings.
Owing to lack of water pressure the flames
spread over almost the entire roof, and at
10 o'clock tonight were still in progress.
The offices so far burned were for clerks.
Some old records have been burned, but
most of the valuable papers we're removed.
The stationery offices and photograph gal
lery of the public works are in the por-
ton of the building burned. There Is no
insurance. The loss is estimated at 500. 600.
At l O'Clock this morning The fire is still
smoldering. The Mackenzie Annex,
Public Works Office, Marine and Fisheries
and Mounted Police departments are all
in ruins. Nothing but charred walls and
towers with a little of the iron work is
left. At late hour the departments af-

CANEA, CRETE Feb. lit is stated
on good authority that the Governor OF
Crete, George Pasba Berovitsch, is desir-
Gus of resigning his office, but that the
Porte has expressed the wish that he
should remain here. The entire Moslem
population about the city of Hera klion
has entered that place, where they at
tackled the Christians and piliaged their
shops.
The Project OF Sitia reports that 300
Moslems have been killed in that district
by Christians. 1t is reported that the
Moslems at Retimo have blown MP with
dynamite a number OF houses owned or
occupied by Christians. No mention is
made of loss of lie being caused by the
explosion.
1t is reported that Christians are mas
sacring Moslems in the villages around
Canea, and that thirteen of the villages
are burning. The Moslems continue to
prevent the departure from the island not
only of the native Christians. but also OF
the foreigners. 1t is probable that the
foreign warships there will intervene and
demand that those who wish to leave the
island shall be allowed to do so without
hindrance.
Confirmation has been received of the
reports of atrocities committed on women
and children in Kisame and Kasteli.
