CAR BARNS DESTROYED.
Also 16O Cars of the Chicago Traction
 Company.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The total destruc- ton of the Lincoln avenue car barns of the Chicago Traction company, with more than 160 street cars resulted from fire early this morning. Beside the building nearly all the grip cars and trailers used on the Lincoln avenue road were destroyed The fire hydrants in the vicinity were frozen and when a supply of water had been obtained the building was doomed. Soon after the first stream was directed on the flames, the entire second story of the building fell with about one hundred open sum- mer cars that were stored there.
 President John M. Roach of the Trac- tion company places the loss at about $13O,OOO, partly covered by insurance. It is supposed the fire originated from an overloaded stovein one of the cars in the barn. Broken trolley wires, which Were charged with electricity and were buried in the debris or coied along the streets caused great danger to the firemen until the current was turned off. The temperature of fifteen degrees below zero coated the hose with a thick covering of ice, which re- quired the utmost care in handling it.

CONCENTRATION TO MARooNI.
Pouring in from AbrOnd-Invontor Ex-
 poets stun Better Results.

St Johns, N. F., Dec. 15.-Congratu- lations from Newfoundland and abroad
 are to-day pouring in on MT. Marconi
 The inventor Is dining to- night with
 Sir Cavendish Boyle, governor of New
 foundland, in order to more fully ex-
 plain all the details of his experiments l to the latter, who will send lengthy i despatch on this subject to the British
 cabinet tomorrow.
 1 MT Marconi to-day made a further explanation of his trans oceanic sig nals. He said he expected them to be stronger than they were. He was very
 confident that he would receive them.
 He attributes their faintness to mid
 ocean wind currents and imperfections in his kite apparatus. He expects bet ter tests tomorrow if the weather en- ables his balloon to ascend. There is some fog on the coast to-day. Foggy conditions will give better signals than will clear atmosphere.
 MT. Marconi goes tomorrow to Cape Spear, there to select a site for the erection of a pole 200 feet high. which he is confident will give the amplest re- suits possible under the present cond- tions. Tuesday the inventor proposes to have Governor Boyle, Premier Bond and other colonial dignitaries examine his tests, so they may satisfy them selves of the absolute genuineness of the proceedings.
 There Is much speculation here as to the practical possibilities of this scheme of wireless telegraphy. Marconi, how ever, is satisfied from his previous ex- periments that great surprises are in store for the world in this matter Steps are being projected to give him some substantial recognition of the col ony's appreciation of his work
 London, Dec. 15.-Major Flood-Page, of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company, informed a representative of the Associated Press that Mir Marconi, at St. Johns, N. F., had received signals from the experiment station al Poldhu, Penzance. Major Flood Page said the severe weather made continuous tests very difficult, but there was no doubt that the wireless signals had been suc- cessfully transmitted across the Atlan- tic. Before starting for Newfoundland MT. Marconi established his station at fOlQHu ana d1TdHSeu TUT llle Iepet1Llun at certain times of alphabetical signals It is unknown here to what extent his experiments have succeeded, but it is evident from a cable message received that MT. Marconi considers that he has surmounted the initial difficulty and that wireless telegraphy thus becomes a real and live factor of the commercial life of the world.
 London, Dec 15.-At the Marconi sta- tion at Poldhu a great circle of twenty poles has been sent up, each one of which is 150 feet high and bears an aeri- al wire. Provision has been made for powerful currents from these poles and at pre-arranged times and in- tervale continuous signals have been sent from them.

DOES NOT DOUBT MARCONI
PROF. PUPIN FULLY BELIEVES IN
 HIS GREAT SUCCESS.
Head of Electrical Mechanics at Co., lumbia Gives His Opinion on the An- nouncement That the Inventor Has Succeeded i'm Signaling Between New
 foundIand and Cornwall, Eng.-Cur-
vature of the Earth Overcome.

New York, Dec. 15.--M. I. Pupin, pro- bia university, said tonight that he fully believed Marconi succeeded in sig- mailing between the coasts of Newfound- land and Cornwall, England, by his sys- tenn of wireless telegraphy. Continu- ing, the professor said:
 "The signals were very faint, as I read in the reports, but that has little to do with it. The distance, which is about 1,700 miles between these two points, was overcome, and further de- velopment of the sending instruments is all that is required
 Professor Pupin said that members of the Society of Electrical Engineers had discussed the subject two years ago and many were at that time of the opinion that the day was not far distant when wireless messages would be sent one thousand miles or. more. Continuing, he said:
 "One point which is of great value and interest to the scientific world is that Marconi has proved conclusively that the curvature of the earth is no obstacle to the system of wireless teleg- raphy Some were inclined. to think, and there were many heated discussions upon 1t, that the curvature limited the system.
 "All Marconi's efforts of late have been directed toward perfecting and making his sending apparatus more powerful and giving a greater height to the sending end It still remains to be proved, however, that heavy banks of fog, low-hanging clouds and heavy showers along and in the path of the electric wave will not en- trely obstruct it's progress. The pre- sumption generally is that they will, as experiments thus far have proved. At- conditions have also much to do with and strongly affect the electric wave"

WAR PREPARATIONS GO ON
dRGENTIN NOT SATIS FEED WITH
 THE CHILEAN NOTE.
dny-Hopc stiil Felt That the Trouble Will be Amicabiy settIed-Argcntinc to be Divided Into Six Military Zones With 20, ,OOO Troops in Each.

Buenos Ayres. Dec. 16,--(via Calves
 ton, Tex)-Although the situation be- tween the Argentine Republic and Chilli 1 has improved it has not yet been clear ly defined. The council of Argentine 1 ministers has spent much time in ! studying the two paragraphs of the Chilian note which forms the basis of that country's proposition, an agree ment upon which would mean the so- lution of the pending difficulties The council has decided to accept the first paragraph concerning the construction of roads. This paragraph is satisfac- tory to the Argentine Republic. The compilation of the second paragraph, referring to the pretended occupation by Argentine of Gillian territory at Ul- tima EsperanZa Is not acceptable to the ministers. The assurance is given that the Argentine government, replying to this paragraph will answer that it is impossible for it to recognize, even i'm plcitly, an act which, after investiga- ton. has been disproved.
 The hope prevails here that every thing will be arranged on friendly basis within few days It is believed that Chili will insist upon presenting an insignificant claim for the invasion of Chlian territory by three Argentine policemen.
 Argentine still continues taking mili- tary measures. Men of wealth are of- fering the government money with which to buy horses and otherwise equip. should occasion arise, regiment of cavalry.
 Public opinion throughout the entire country is expressing it's patriotic ap proval of the governments conduct. The people remain quiet.
 The government has decided to di- vide the republic into six military zones with 10000 men in each. The arms and equipment for these men are already on hand in the respective zones, Over and above the reserves called out last week, 15000 volunteers have presented themselves for service. In case of ne- cessity the government has resources which would enable 1t to mobilize an army of 100000 men.
 Buenos Ayres, Dec. 15 (via Calves ton, Tex)-Later-The sit ua ton here is unchanged. Everything is quiet. The Argentine government will tomorrow forward it's reply to the Chilian note.

 Daily With the Rebels.

Manila, Dec 15.-General Franklin Bell has been exceedingly active in Ba- tangas province, where he intends, by every means available to stamp out the insurrection.
 There are daily small fights between the insurgents and the men of General Bells command in which the former are almost invariably routed. Lieuten- ant Hennessy of the Eighth infantry, together with one American scout and six Filipinos. captured an insurgent major with forty-two men, twenty-two rifles and SS0 rounds of ammunition, without the loss of a man.
 A number of captured documents and papers, now in the hands of General Bell, duplicate in the insurrection the presidente, and other prominent natives of Lian, Batangas province. General Bell has notified the natives in Batan- gas that on December 28 he purposes to concentrate in the neighborhood of the towns He will move their live stock. rice, etc, to within the limits of concentration After this date every thing outside these limits will be con- fscated.
 The roads from Batangas and Lagu- ma provinces are lined with a continu- ous stream Of native men. women and childred in carry-alls, carts and mount ed on carabous seeking safety from the horrors of war. The column under Colonel Theodore J. Wint, of the Sixth cavalry, is tireless in it's operations against the insurgents and has receiv- ed high praise from the military au- the critics.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING z
DINING HALL IN DARKNESS.
Yale Students Interrupted in Their
 Meal Last Evening.

Last evening when about four hun dred Yale men were partaking of their Sunday dinner in the new Yale dining hall the electric plant that lights the big building got out of order and left the place in utter darkness. There were no auxiliary lights and after vain ly trying to make even as much as a candle light Manager Deshon gave up the task and announced that there would be nothing more doing.
 While the manager of the dining hall was proceeding up the aisle to investi- gate the cause of the breakdown the students got merry and pelted him with all sorts of viands, including mashed potato balls, jelly, bread and butter, apples, bananas, sponge cake and jelly rolls, and when he reached the end of the building he was besmeared with samples of about all the eatables. The Yale men then took to throwing things at each other, and in few minutes the air was full of viands. Plates and glasses were slid along the floor and down the ailes, and it became so dan gerous that the men soon made a rush for the doors
 In fifteen minutes the place was emp ty, and many of the students did with out their Sunday dinner Some went to hotels and others taxed the capacity of the night lunches. The accident hap pened about 6:30.

CHINA BESET BY POWERS
MANCHURIAN QUESTION AGAIN REACHES 4 CRITICAL STAGE,
Crisis in Chinese History Seems Immi- nent-Russia still Pressing Her De- mands and Great Britain, America and Japan Opposing Them-Japnnese Minister Takes a Strong Stand.

Pelkin. Dec. 16.--The Manchurian question has reached stage which best informed observers consider to be cri- sis in Chinese history. The Chinese government is beset by Russia. on the one hand and by Great Britain, United States and Japan on the other. The government is helpless and will yield to that faction able to bring the strongest pressure to bear.
 Prince Ching is distinctly more friendly to Great Britain than was Iii Hung Chang. The British, American and Japanese representatives here have separately visited Prince Ching and in- sisted they be shown any treaty before it is signed. Prince Ching has submit ted to them the draft of a treaty prac- tically identical to the treaty already published. Prince Ching is now press- ing Russia for more definite terms, the present form of the treaty being so vague in its important points as virtu- ally to leave Russia a free hand. The Japanese minister has taken a strong hand in the matter and he has notified Prince Ching that Japan will require equivalent concessions to all the ad- churia
 The belief is general that Russia in- tends to ignore what she regards as mere formal objections on the part of the other powers. Japan would go to the length of war to stop the Russian occupation of Manchuria if she were assured of support; but she will not risk a repetition of the rebuff received after the China Japanese war.
 An official telegram announces that the imperial court is now on its way to Pekin.

SERIOUS RAILROAD WRECKS
4 HEAD-ON COLLISION ON THE
 ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
Eight Persons Killed and Number Injured -Tempcrature Twenty De- grees Below Zero and Great Suffering is Caused-Etghu Persons Also Killed on the Great Northern and Three on inc Psnnay Iyanfn
the PennsyIvania.

Rockford, H., Dec. 15.-Failure on the supposed to have been the cause of a head-end collision on the Illinois Cen tral between Irene and Berryville early
 this morning. The two trains were the
 east-bound passenger train and the
 through freight from Chicago going
 west. AS a result eight people are dead
 or missing and eleven injured.
 The known dead are: Richard Orms-
 by, Chicago, engineer of passenger
 train; James Reardon, Freeport, fire man of passenger train; Robert Thomp- son, Dubuque, American Express mes senger; J. w. Funk, Chicago, brake man of passenger train; David Behan, Freeport, freight engineer; Edward Ca rey, Freeport, freight fireman.
 Missing and supposed dead: Nowsboy on passenger train, name unknown; section foreman from Irene, name un- known.
 The injured, so far as the names have been ascertained, are as follows: H. C.. Wellman, Chicago, condition critical; D. R. Ahrendt, Chicago; J. H. Quinan, passenger conductor condition critical; w. B. Keefe, Sioux City, la. Frank Stadleman, New Athens, Ill.,; Thomas Hendricks, New Athens, III,
 Slightly hurt: G. E. Shurtleff, Kan kakee, H.; G. M. Burch, Kankakee H.; M. E. Franklin, Lake City, la; A. l.. Boggs, St. Louis; John Hussey, Inde- pendence, Ia.
 The trains met in a slight bend in the o1r 1, ot Full a smoking car, express and baggage cars were piled up on the locomotives, pin ming in the occupants of the smoker. Only three of the half dozen in that car escaped, The others, if not instantly killed, were roasted to death, and their bodies with those of the engine crews, were entirely consumed.
 All efforts of the survivors to reach the victims were unavailing. The tenn perature was 20 degrees below zero and an icy wind was blowing, the point where the wreck occurred being in a shallow cut, affording no protection. The injured were without hats and wraps, and suffered terribly. By the united efforts of the survivors one car was pushed back from the wreckage to escape the flames and the wounded were placed on the hunks inside.
 Two hours elapsed before any relief was at hand Then an engine arrived from the east and pulled the car to Irene, three miles distant. A relief train was started from Rockford at 1 80 a. m with medical aid. It arrived at the scene of the wreck twenty min- utes later.
 In the meantime the injured had been brought back from Irene and were to the relief train and brought to Rockford. All the injured are doing we'll except H. q. Wellman, If Chicago, who Is in critical condi- tion Wrecking crews have been at work to-day and have the tracks clear o-nght. Six bodies were recovered rom the debris, which were charred beyond recognition.
