Work of Searching for the Bodies.

Pittsburg Feb. l2-The results of the
terrible fire of Wednesday and the subse-
quent explosions on Pike street continue
TO grow in all their narrowing details. At
10 o'clock tonight IS bodies had been
removed from the ruins, nearly all of
whom were found I'm the Inflated Null

been added the following missing re-
ported since yesterday: James Gibson

Why not out of the nflowing surplus

Why do we build warships and spend

that behind the army and the navy

Great Britain's agreement with Rus

more far reaching than written as
surance that Port Arthur will be free

The publication of the treaty with
Abyssinia will prove sensational The
rumors of the big British concessions
are groundless. Great Britain secures
another open door and the most favored

open for British trade and promises to
prevent arms and ammunition from

There has been a serious split among

Coach Lehman presided. Dudley

club, had refused to row against Ok
ford and had influenced members OF
the club to do the same. 1t was also
stated that Howell had suggested that
Ward should resign and that Furnie
should succeed him. Howell, however
denounced both charges. Lehman
appealed to all concerned to sink their
differences and combine in the interests
of Cambridge rowing. He urged How
ell to reconsider his determination and
to assist Cambridge against Oxford
The outcome is anxiously awaited, as
the time to the race date is short and
the interests of Cambridge are seriously

DIDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE
BARON HICKEY'S DEATH DUE TO
AN OVERDOSE OF CHLoRAL.
Father-in-Law Flagier Says He Had All
That Any One Could Desire-PIenty
of Money and a Good Home.

St. Louis, Feb. IL. II. Flagler,
Standard oil magnate and father-in-la
of Baron Hardin Hickey. who died at
Ell Paso Wednesday, will leave here to-
night for San Francisco to join his
daughter, widow of the baron. Dis
cussing the death Of his son-in-law. he
said:
"A gentleman we'll known here. whose
name / cannot divulge. has just re-
turned from FL Paso. He assures me
that Baron Hickey did not commit sui
eide. Personally, / do not believe he
meant to take his life.
He was a man of highly wrought
nervous organization and for years hal
sought relief from insomnia in the use
of sedatives and narcotics. He was an
habitual user of choral in various forms
/ believe he took an overdose. 1t ap-
pears from statements made to me that
he took dose of the drug without effect
and later took another dose. Neither
dose would have killed him, but the
combination was fatal. He had been
troubled with a heart affection for years
and could not live in high attitudes.
His heart weakness may have aided the
drug in causing his death.
Hickey was man of cheerful nature
and had all anybody could desire-plen-
ty of money and good home. Finan-
eial reverses, which might have caused
despondency overlook him.
After the baron's death there was
found among his effects letter ad-
dressed to his wife. in which. il has
been alleged. was this expression: I
prefer to be a dead gentleman rather
than a living blackguard like your
father. Goodbye"
The reporter asked Mr. Flagler about
this letter.

Boston, Feb. 12.-To-day completes
the fourth week of the cotton mill opar-

A new feature in the situation is the
appearance of Canadian government

here to get French Canadians out of
work and settle them on the St. Law
renee river. The Canadian and Quebec
governments have undertaken to aid all
settlers. The existing troubles are
