SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
Captain Vasliiro Thinks That 1t VIII BE
Abandoned.

Vancouver. B. c.. Aug. 9-Captain
Nashiro, naval attache of the Japan
ese legation at St Petersburg, thinks
Russia will eventually abandon her
ransSiberian railroad. At banquet
in Toxic recently he said the greater
part of the Siberian railway was very
imperfect in construction and it
would hardly he possible to utilize it
for war purposes. Siberia suffered from
severe cold weather for more than half
the year yet the work of construction
was hurriedly pushed forward when
the ground was frozen. When warm
weather came in the spring the ground
thawed and gaps We're made in the line
At some places the Joints of the rails
were even broken. Travelling in a train
on the railway even for a short dis
tance was almost unbearable owing to
the vibrations and so great was the
jolting and jarring of the train that
one might imagine oneself to be at
sea in storm. 1t would be entirely
impossible, he thought, to transport
any large quantity of troops by this
line. Anyone who had travelled in a
train on the Siberian railway would, he
believed, acknowledge that the time
must certainly come when Russia
would be wearied of the difficulties of
the task undertaken and would aban-
don the scheme.

FOUR f|REMEN KILLED
Lost Their Lives at an Insienif1-

A LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE
Connection Was Made While Lowering
q Ladder - The Poor Fellows
Writhed in Agony and Then
Fell Dead.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 9.-Four firemen
lost their lives tonight in blaze on
an upper floor of the Mercer Chemical
company's building at Eleventh and
Harvey streets. The fire in itself was
insignificant, the fatalities resulting
from contact with a live wire. The
| dead firemen are:
| JOSEPH ADAMS.
! OTTO GEISEKE.
GEORGE BENSON, pipeman, No. 8
| engine company.
J CHARLES HOPPER, relief driver,
No. engine company
! FIREMAN GEORGE FARER and
ALBERT LINTON of the Chemical
company also suffered severely from
| the shock.
! The fire originated among the chemi-
Gals in a store room on the fifth floor
| and while at no time was the building
five-story brick structure, in danger,
the blaze burned fiercely in a small
area. Two streams were thrown to the
seat of the fire from a neighboring roof
| and the other from the summit of a
| long ladder. When the fire had been
brought under control. the firemen set
| to work to lower the big extension
truck upon which they had been work
| ing. Suddenly there was a sputtering
and a succession of flashes such as oc-
cur when a connection is made with
| live wire, carrying a high voltage of
| electricity. The men who We're work
| ing a the crank lowering the latter
| writhed in agony for q moment and
then fell to the pavement limp and ap-
| parently lifeless. In lowering the lad
| der, it had come in contact with a live
electric light wire carrying current
| of 1000 volts.
| The injured men We're at once car
| ried into an adjoining building and
| the doctors who were present used
every means known to revive them.
! Hopper revived a few minutes, and
saying he was all right, started to walk
| away. He had only gone about so feet
when he dropped dead.
| Geiseke showed signs of reviving, but
| when only partially rallied, sank back
| and expired. The other two never at
| any time showed any signs of anima-
ton and We're doubtless dead when
| picked up.

KILLED THE HELMSMAN.
Frenchmen Were Caught Fishing on the
English Coast.

Folkstone, Aug. 9.-The British tor
pedo boat, Leda, this morning found a
French fishing boat, Etoille de Mer, be-
longing to BOulogne Sur Mer, fishing
within the three-mile limit. The fish
ermen attempted to escape and did not
stop when a blank shot was fired. The
Leda then fired shot which disabled
the Etolle and killed her helmsman.
The fishing boat was afterwards tow
ed to this port with the body of her
helmsman on deck. The arrival Of the
Etoille de Mer caused much excitement.
1t is hoped the regrettable incident will
draw attention to the serious inroads
made by foreign fishermen in British
waters.
The admiralty authorities express ex-
treme surprise at the fact that the
fishing boat disregarded the Leda' s
signal to heave to, and, in the absence

ROBBED BY WOMEN.
Tenderloin Grafters Said to BE in League
with the Police.

New York, Aug. 9.-Almost all of the
testimony elected at the Mazet inves-
tigation committee to-day was for the
purpose Of showing how frequently
men are robbed in this city while pay
ing visits to the Tenderloin, the Bow
cry and other sections of the city where
groups gather after the midnight hour.
Mr.. Moss has difficulty in obtaining
witnesses for to-day's session.
The men who had been victims of
this sort of crime appeared decidedly
averse to appearing before The COM
mittee and telling about it. Two hum
dred and fifty subpoenas had been is
sued for men who had been robbed by
women. Not a quarter of them could
be found. Nevertheless, Mr.. Moss was
able to put witness after witness upon
the stand and secure account after ac-
count of robberies alleged to have oc-
Cured in disorderly houses Occasion
ally the witnesses under oath told of
facts which appeared to show collusion
between the police and the female rob-
bers.
Mr. Moss announced that similar tes-
tinmony would be produced before the
committee tomorrow. The variations,
it is understood, refer to an investiga-
tion of the opium dens of the city.

Denver. Colo, Aug. 9.-Kid Parker of
Denver defeated Billy Otis of San
Francisco in the fifth round of what
was to have been a 2O-round bout. be-
fore the Olympic Athletic club, thereby
winning the lightweight championship
of the West. The fight was fast and
furious from the start, and after the
second round was a continuous series
of mix-ups varied by OTIS going to the
floor, taking the full limit. Parkers S
superiority in inf1ghung was clearly
apparent. he landing on Otis with up
per cuts in every miX-up.
Otis made his best showing in the
first round and for moment looked
like a winner, sending Parker to the
floor twice, slightly dazing him once.
In the second round honors were
about even, but afterwards Parker had
things all his own way. He knocked
OTIS down twice in the third, four times
in the fourth, the bell saving Otis, and
again four times in the fifth, when Gus
Rubin, who was acting as OTIS chief
second, reluctantly threw up the
sponge, it being apparent that his man
was TOO weak to continue.
Otis claims his left hand was broken
in the second round, to which he at
tributes his inability to admins er
punishment.
The result of the fight places Parker
in line for the lightweight champion
ship of the world, and he will at once
issue a challenge to Frank Erne, the
present champion.

RECRUITING is VERY SLOW.
The 35th Regiment May Have to BE
Filled From the East.

Filled From the East.
Washington, Aug General Shat
ter has forwarded to Adjutant General
Corbin dispatch received yesterday
from Lieutenant Colonel Plummer, who
Is organizing the 35th infantry at Van
couver barracks. The dispatch is In
reply to one sent from the department
suggesting that slow progress was be-
ing made in recruiting that regiment
and that efforts should be put forth to
hurry it along. Colonel Plummer says:
Every possible effort is being made
to recruit this regiment. Recruits are
coming much faster since regimental
recruiting officers have been out There
are now 253 men here tVancouver). The
material Is exceptionally good. South
ern California and other portions of
the district have not been covered. 1t
is believed there is ample material in
the district to fill the regiment with the
same class of men as those already Sc
cured. About 500 men of the End Ore
gon volunteers arrive in Portland
within few days, and 1t is believed
many of these men will re-enlist in this
regiment. In view of these facts, it is
earnestly recommended that recruiting
officers in the east be cautioned to Sc
1ect only the most Desirable men, as it
is believed the best interests Of the
service will be served by filling each
regiment, as far as possible. from the
district allotted to it,
In forwarding this to the war de-
partment, General Shafter says:
I'm my opinion recruiting VIII be
more rapid as soon as the oregon regi-
ment gets back, and as officers of the
regiment are dispersed throughout the
country, but there are very few surplus
men in California. l recommend that
if recruits are available for the 35th
they be sent from the east"
