In JUSTICE TO JACKSON
MAYOR SMITH CORRECTs SOME
PUBLISHED FIGURES.

According to Mayor Smith. who has
consulted the records of the fire de-
partment. the statement In the papers
that Chief Cook has served forty-two
me- nths is incorrect, as he has only serv-
ed thirty-two. 1t would be unfair to
compare statements giving each chief
forty-two months service as the records
show different. Mayor Smith has accord
tngiy prepared a comparative statement
of fire losses for thirty-two months taken
from the official records as follows:
Chief jackson thirty-two months prior
and to day of surrender of department
to Chief Cook.
Total losses .................... $685., 2O4. 80
Chief Cook thirty-two months, to Dec
J. 1900.
Total losses .....................s1,6 S3. 4a2 -

rect, as he took charge of the depart

chow that the yellow terror" is
slowly opening its great al
,nond eyes to its real danger,
and becoming conscious of its
great strength is getting ready
to use it. The vandalism OF the
Russian and German troops has
become &C marked and atrocious
that a common sympathy is
aroused among all the yellow
people in the Orient.
A late dispatch from Pekin
says that a bloody battle was
fought between the Russian s
and Chinese at Mukden. The
Russians lost 60 killed includ-

fore the German troops met
with severe handling near the
