Meeting Of Western Railroads Unable

Chicago, Dec. 11.-No agreement was
reached in the meeting Of western rail-
roads here today relative to the new fast
time schedule between Chicago and st.
Paul and the Missouri river. Each road
represented had ideas of its own that 1t
desired carried out, and now the inti-
nation is that an agreement to be eff
fective must include all territory west
OF Buffalo and Pittsburg and north Of
the Gulf of Mexico. The committee
having in hand the plan for an agree

day. One was a return in all cases to
schedules in effect prior to the shorten
ing Of the overland limited's time by the
Chicago g. Northwestern and Union Pa
cific combination. The other was
application of the excess fare principle.
Local railway men said today that 1t

GIRL SAVES MANY LIVES.
Plays Lively March While a School
Building Burns.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 11.-While clouds of
smoke filled the hallway from fierce
fire raging in the basement of Lincoln
school yesterday. Ethel Barker. 13 years
old, sat at the piano and played lively
two-step for the 800 children to keep
time by while marching out. She did
not cease playing until the last child
had left the building and when she tried
to escape was twice driven back by the
dense smoke, which by that time had
rolled thru the corridors. She finally
reached the door and went to the first
floor by cropping along the walls and
along the stair banisters. When the girl
volunteered to play the march She was
the only pupil who knew the building
was on fire for she had heard the whis-
pered announcement that preceded the
ringing of the fire drill gong. When the
gong sounded she ran to the main corri-
dor and began playing. AS the result of
her courage the pupils We're taken out
safely. altho panic was narrowly
averted when they reached the lower
floor and found the building on fire.

American manhood, and was encamped
at a health resort. He, however, in vio-

cultivated and competent gentlemen OF

sion of existing army regulations, not
only set aside recommendations OF MS

Pile melted his men to violate the most
fundamental sanitary laws.
"The result was what might have Deen
expected. OF the more than $4,000 men
in his command 10000 were invalided,
while nearly 1000 died from preventable
causes. If in an active military opera

scHLEY VERDICT REACHED.
Court Probably Will Submit It's ver-
dict Late Today.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
Schley court of inquiry will probably
submit it's findings and opinion to the
secretary of the navy late today. It is
understood that at meeting today
the court approved the written draft
of its conclusions on all except one
point of the precept which had not been
definitely determined Additional infor-
nation relating to this point was re-
garded as necessary. This was OBJ
tained and 1t Is believed that the court
not only disposed OF the matter but
drafted it's conclusions on the subject
into it's report before adjournment.
From all accounts the courts findings
and conclusions were put into writing
by Rear Admiral Ramsay the junior
member. The greatest care has been
taken to prevent the substance or any
information whatever about them to
leak out. It is even said that the mem
bers of the court agreed not to dis
cuss the case with members OF their
own families. 1t is the understanding
that the report will not be submitted
to typewriter operator for copying.
but will be laid before the secretary of
the navy in the handwriting of the
member deputed to draft 1t.

Won Buelow, the imperial chancellor,
said that the powers concerned in Polish

The issue was raised by Prince RadZi

Count Won Buelow, the imperial chan

therefore, he must refuse to discuss
them in the reichstag. He could say,
however, that the prestige of the en-
pire had not suffered In any way by the
attitude of the Wreschen authorities,
ard the relations with Austria and Rus

Odium of Conditions in Concentration
Camps Not Easily Borne.
London, Dec 11.-Only the prospect Of
the practical humiliation Of the Boer
women and children and the odium like
ly to accompany such catastrophe has
moved the government to adopt the rec
concentrations of the liberals concern
ing the South African concentration
camps. The death rate in those camps
during the last three months has showed
that a year or two more Of war would
leave no Boer women and children to
worry about The cabinet could not
bring itself to contemplate this outlook
with Indifference. The ministers realize
that, despite the apparent progress OF
Lord Kitcheners operations, the burgh-
ers may prolong the struggle Indefinite
ly Therefore they see that the occu-
pants of the camps must be redistrib-
uted in accordance with the demands of
proper sanitation.
John Ellis, NJ. P, and other liberal
politicians who opposed the concentra-
tion plan when 1t was originally sug-
gested, Will attack the government in
parliament at an early date for the al
legged disastrous blunders which it has
made in this connection. Mr.. Ellis
pointed out in the house OF commons
that concentration OF the Inhabitants of
the hostile country would entail expos
ure. ill-nourishment, disease and whole
sale death. He win now confront the
ministerial benches with the govern
ment's official acknowledgement OF the
verification of his prophecy.
This is only one of the cabinets self
