SEvENTY-FIvE LIVES LOST
ON 4 BURNING STEAMER.
or Ono Hundred and Fifty Persons on
Board, Not More Than Half We're
Saved, Many Of tho Latter
Being Injured.

Being Injured.
Seventy-fve people lost their lives
near Ogden's Landing, twenty-four
miles from Cairo, ILL.,. Sunday morn
ing, In one OF the worst disasters in
the history of navigation on the Ohio
river. SeveDty-ive others were more
or less injured by the burning Of the
steamer City of Pittsburg-
There were $50 persons on board,
and not more than half OF them were
saved, many of the latter being burned
or injured. AS the register of the
steamer was burned no list can be
given either OF the victims or Of the
survivors; and in the confusion it has
been impossible to get complete lists.
Capt. Phillips admitted that the death
list may reach sixty.
At 4:05 o'clock Sunday morning
flames were discovered in the forward
hatch, larboard; the fire alarm was
sounded and the engineers at once
started all the pumping engines and
the crew brought all the hose into
play.
Amid the streams of water on all
sides, the flames from the lower deck
and dense clouds of smoke, the pas
sengers rushed from their staterooms
and frightful panic ensued.
The appeals Of the officers and crew
could not appease the terror-stricken
crowds that interfered with those who
threw water on the flames, as well as
those working with the life boats. Few
could adjust life preservers or do any
thing else for themselves.
The burning steamer was quickly |
headed for the bank. A number of |
passengers who jumped off the stsrn
and tried to swim ashore through the
swift current were drowned. Many |
also persisted in the flames. Help, ex-
cept from people living nearby-boats

PRAYING FOR RAIN.
Need OF Moisture In Kansas is SO Great
That Special Prayers are on
cred In Churches

The need for rain in Kansas has be-
come so great that Bishop Fink, whose
diocese consists OF the eastern third OF
Kansas, has ordered prayers said daily
by every Catholic under his iurisdic-
ton. Sunday last, prayers were Of
fered In all the Leavenworth Kan. !
Catholic churches. Under the orders
from the bishop the prayers will be
continued until rain falls.
The hot south winds that swept over
the better part OF Kansas Monday pre-
vailed again Tuesday and no reports
OF rain had been received at the local
weather bureau. Increased damage to
vegetation of all kinds will doubtless
result The temperature in central
Kansas and in the northeastern corner
of the state ranged from 90 to 96 de-
grees above in the shade Monday.
The ground generally is reported dry
and hard and badly in need OF rain.
The midsummer weather experienced
in Kansas City Sunday. when the
thermometer rose 80 degrees in seven
hours, from SO to 81, prevailed Mon
day with perhaps slightly cooler
wind.
Dispatches from Topeka say dry, hot
wind, blowing thirty miles an hour
from the southwest and changing to
the south, prevailed over that section
OF Kansas Monday, with high tenn
perature. Many telegraph and tele-
phone wires are down. Sunday the
wind blew steadily from the south
west at the rate of forty miles an hour.
The maximum was "a, the highest in
April for sixteen years, except in 1898,
when 1t reached 97.

Cossacks Charge Helpless Firms

A dispatch from Helsingfors, Fin
land, says that in levy of recruits
from the Helsingfors district. out of
s57 summoned, only fifty-six complied.
The remainder absented themselves as
a demonstration against the new army
edict.
The same day, April IS, a disturb
ance broke out. 1t began in trivial
manner. youngster was jeering the
police and the senators. One of the
latter, General Kaigeroff, thereupon
ordered out the Cossacks, and scene
quite equahng the st. Petersburg riots
ensued. The Cossacks charged the
public in the Senate square and the
adjoining streets. They used their
knouts Unfortunately, and the chief
sufferers were cripples, aged persons
and children.
Some men resisted the Cossacks, and
many persons on both sides wero
wounded, The crowd refused to dis
perse until the military ordered them
away. The burgomaster finally per-
suaded General Kaigeroff to withdraw
the Cossacks, and peace was immedi-
ately restored.

1t Is Believed the Beers VIII Vote to End
the War.
General Dewet has gone to Hebron,
Orange River colony; General Botha,
the Transvaal commander-in-chief, has
gone to Vryheld, Transvaal, and Cen
eral Delarey, together with Mr.. Steyn,
ex-president of the Orange River Free
State, has gone to Klerksdorp, Trans
vaal. They have arranged to meet the
burghers at different rendezvous and
submit the British terms.
1t is believed the Trapsvaalers will
everywhere accept the terms, as they
are in no way anxious for winter
campaign. The only difficulty likely
to occur will be, it is thought, with the
Orange River states, many of whom
are expected to prove recalcitrart.
In the meantime there will be no
cessation of hostilities. The delegates
are expected back to Pretoria the mid
die of May, and in anticipation of their
return they have given orders for new
clothes, provisions, etc.

pristions.
Without word of discussion OF the
merits of the measure, the senate
Monday passed the river and harbor
bill, carrying in appropriations about
s7o,o0o,ooo. So thoroughly had the
bill been considered by the commerce
committee that every senator was con-
tent that 1t should pass as reported
from the committee.
In response to an inquiry by Mr.
MeComas, MIR. Frye, in charge of the
bill, said that no appropriation had
been made for dredging the harbor at
the Annapolis training school because
the aggregate appropriation carried
by the measure was already large and
the committee was OF the opinion that
Annapolis could wait.

NOT A PLEASURE TRIP.
General Smith Says Campaigning in samar
10 a Stern Reality.

II "A stern
Orders have been received in Manila
from Washington to hold court of in
quiry into the general condnct of
affairs in Samar General Smith claims
that, to the best of his belief, the
officers and men of his command had
to face insurmountable difficulties;
that the hardships they encountered
were almost unbearable, and that the
treachery of the natives of the island
is unequalled in the history of war;
fare.
He says that the American soldiers
acted in the circumstances with the
greatest forbearance shown in the war
in the Philippines. Campaigning in
Samar is not pleasure trip, but
stern reality, said General Smith.
He also expressed his doubt If the
troops of any other nation in the
world would or could have acted in the
circumstances In Samar as well as did
the Americans.
