DISASTER IN MEXICO.
Market building mt Zncntccns Burns
--Forty-Fivc Thought to Have Per-
fshcd-Fifteen bodies Found.

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 23.-News has
just reached here of terrible fire
in the City of Zaca tecas, in the Mexican
state of the same name, in which many
lives were lost. The fire was in the
principal market building owned by
the city. The lower part of the build
ing contained large number of cell
lars and refrigerating apartments,
which were stocked with meats for
city consumption. The fire broke out
in these cellars, and when discovered
had made considerable headway. In
order to save as much of the meat
stored in the cellars is possible, large
force of men were ordered by the au-
thorities into the burning structure,
and while this force was working tie
flames burned their way to the top of
the market, completely enveloping it.
The fire department was unable to
check the progress of the fire, and after
burning several hours the building
collapsed, the crumbiing walls burying
a large number of the men in the cell
lars under the ruins.
Just how many were killed is not
known, but the loss of life is said to
be appalling. Latest advices from
Zacatecas state that Is dead bodies
had been taken from the ruins, while
it is believed many are still under the
wrecked walls. The market building
was one of the finest structures of it's
kind in the republic, and was a source

1t is now said that fully As lives have
been lost, and over a score of persons
injured. Those who escaped uninjured
from the blazing ruins were so panic
stricken that it was some time before
an organized attempt at rescue could
)e made, and in the meantime the
means and cries of those who had not
been killed outright, could be heard.
Many of them begged to be killed be-
fore the fire could reach them, as they

pAN-AMERloAN CONFERENCE
A scheme for tho Extradition OF Ans
archints Is Presented TO tho Delo-

nrchtnts IL Presented TO the De1c~
gates.
Mexico City, Dec. 24.-At Mondays
session of the Pan-American confer
ence Volney w. Floss, United States
delegate, proposed that Chicago be
added TO the list of cities having q
claim to "a branch of the proposed
Pan-Amer-ican bank. His motion was
adopted by 12 votes. Bolivia and
Ecuador voted i'm THE negative and
Chilli abstained from voting, but
Walker Martinez, one of the Chilian
delegates, explained that this was be-
cause his country's delegation had
abstadned from voting on the main
project and not from any lack of good
will towards Chicago.
The project for treaty for pro-
lection against anarchy was read.
With slight notifications articles
10 and IL of Senator Davis Pam
American railway project were APP
proved. These completed the entire
railway report, which is therefore the
second subject definitely disposed of,
by the conference, the first having
been tihe Pan-American bank.
The committee on eNtradition and
suppression of anarchy presented it's
report 1T recommends that the
American republics sign general
treaty of eXtradition. The proposed
terms of such treaty are given and
they differ little from the terms of
the eXtradition treaty now in force
between the United States and Mex
leo. The committee says that it ex-
perienced difficulty in including any
special provision against anarchy and
anarchists. owing on the one hand to
the necessity of respecting the liberty
| of belief, and on the other to the fact
that the crimes of anarchists. such as
the murder of President Mckinley,
come under the ordinary classifca-
tions of penal codes and are sufficient
to Justify eXtraditfon without the
need of special provisions.
Nevertheless the committee consid-
ers the time ripe for some united ac-
ton against anarchy on the part of
the nations of America and believes
the best way is to make the active
expression and propagation of anar-
chistic ideas an extr|aditable otfense.
nhe provision to this effect is includ-
ed in the proposed treaty as follows:
article 13-The contracting par
ties agree to provide in their respect
i've legislation for the punishment of
the propagation of anarchy. The
extradition of any individual who
may have propagated anarchy may
be in demand from the date on which
said propagation becomes punishable
by the nation making the request. In
such cases it shall be granted al
though the individual whose extrudi-
tion be demanded may be liable to a
penalty of Imprisonment of less than
two years."

ablaze. He made his way outside with
his two smallest children. and hurried
back to look for his wife. brother and
