Paterson, N. J., Oct. Ia.-The people Of
this unfortunate city are beginning to
realize the extent of the great flood which
began last Friday. Nearly two entire
wards taking in the manufacturing section
have been under water since that day. This
morning thousands of men, women and
children employed in different mills and
factories found they could not go to work
on account of those places being shut down.
great many of these people have also
been driven from their homes and have
no food or shelter. The heaviest damage
in Paterson was to the manufacturers
At present it is impossible to give an ac-
curate idea of the total loss, but conser-
vative estimates are about $4,000, 900.
The police and fremen have been
steadily engaged since Sunday morning in
the work of rescuing families from the
upper floors or the roofs of their houses
in the flooded district and the work is
still going on.
Worst Is Over.
Today the water continued TO fall and
there did not seem any chance of further
damage being done unless another severe
storm should set in.
There are still many blocks under water
and an examination Of the flooded dis
trct cannot be made until the water dis
appears.
The health authorities have a difficult
task before them in devsng means to
prevent an epidemic of sickness in the
flooded territory. The people who were
forced to leave their homes will not be
allowed to return until the district is in
a sanitary condition.

Browning, Oct. I2.-Dissensions among
several bands of Indians OH the Flathead
reservation that have been a source Of
more or less trouble to Indian Agent
Monteath ever since Chief White Calf

with too much whisky obtained from
bootleggers in the vicinity OF the reser-
walton, notably at Dupuyer, eliminated
in one Of the worst tragedies recorded in
this part Of Montana in years.
Seven of the nations wards were cruelty
murdered in their beds in the most ap-
proved barbaric fashion, while two others
were seriously and perhaps fatally
wounded.
Four Arrests.
Reservation officers have made four ar
rests and the accused are confined in the
guardhouse here. The parties who fur
nished the Indians with the liquor will
also be arrested and prosecuted
Several petty chiefs have sprung up

all over the agency.
Agent Monteath believes the Indian po-

of murdcrers, as well as those who gave
them liquor. If it becomes necessary
troops can be readily secured from Fort
Assinnboine to assist in capturing the

NEGOTIATIONS Proceed.

Washington, ID. C., Oct. I2.--Asidc
from extensive military preparations by
both nations the Japanese legation here
is not advised that either Russia or Japan
has as yet committed any act Of war. The
Japanese minister is being kept constantly
advised by cablegrams from Toxic of
the situation and realizing its gravity he
is moving with great caution.
The negotiations between Russia and
Japan, according to his adviccs. are still
in progress and there is hope OF dipo-
matte settlement Of the questions at issue.
The minister today authorized the Asso-
ciated Press to make the following state
ment:
Ellis attention having been called to a
certain unauthorized statement attributed
to him, that the public utterances of the
Japanese people are all in favor of war
with Russia, Mr.. Kogoro Takahira, the
Japanese minister, states that while there
is some disquiet due to the unsettled state
OF affairs which has existed SO long in
the Far East, it seems that it has been
aggravated more recently by the unfounded
rumors regarding military and naval move
ments in certain quarters; but in his
judgment the intelligent section of the
japanese public has been generally calm
and collected up to the present junction,
as they know that the matter has been
for some time in the hands Of RESPONSE
BILE parties of Japan and Russia, and that
they have been negotiating with view
to arriving at an understanding between
them. For his own part, Mr.. Takahra

The native merchants who were hope

AS regards the opening OF places in

LARGE INFIRMARY AT
PENSACOLA BURNED
One of the Patients Cremat-
ed in His Room.
WERE MANY NARROW ESCAPES.


Patients Compelled to Leave Building
In Their Night Clothes and Six May
Die as Result of the Exposure-or-
iain of The Fire.
! Mobile, Ala, Jan. IA special to
The Register from Pensacola, Fla,
says:
Fire at 1 o'clock this morning total
ly destroyed the large 3-story Bryan's
inflrmary, on the corner of Baylen and
Garden streets.
One of the patients, a man named
Blockton, was burned to death in his
room.
The fire was not discovered until the
entire building was in flames, and the
25 inmates in the building had mar
row escapes.
The building was a new one, and
less than year ago was reftted from
top to bottom, and costly X-ray ap-
paratus installed 1t was of frame
structure and burned quickly.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by sparks from the CRATE fall
ing on to a rug and setting fire to the
room. 1t certainly started in the room
of Blockton. He was i'll and was un-
able to move out of bed, so that by
the time the fire was seen outside the
building he was burned to death. At
this hour it is not possible to learn
his first name or where his home it,
AS soon as the fire was discovered
the work of rescuing the inmates be-
gan, the citizens aiding the f1remen in
the work
Many narrow escapes were made,
and all the patients were compelled
to leave the building in their night
clothes.
AS a result of the exposure and ex-
citement it is thought that probably
six will lose their lives.
All patients were removed to St.
Anthony's hospital, where they were
given prompt attention.
Nothing was saved from the build
ing, and the loss will be total. The
building was owned by DR.. R. l.. Bry-
ans, and was used by him as sani-
tarium.
Mobile, Ala, Jan. 14.-Philip Brack-
en-, the young man who lost his life in
the Pensacola infirmary fire this morn
ing, was a resident of St. Andrews,
Fla, and had been in the infirmary
only few days. His remains were
charred almost beyond recognition.
Captain Hudson, another inmate,
had a narrow escape from death, but
was rescued by. firemen.
The owner of the infrmary says he
cannot estimate the exact loss sus.
tanned, but it will amount to many
thousands Of dollars.

It Is Considered Revolution In Vati.
can World,

can World.
New York, Jan. 14.-In the vati.
can world, says the Rome correspon-
dent of The Tribune, the appointment
of Mgr. O'Connell to the rectorship Of
the Washington Catholic university is
considered a revolution. Mgr. O'Con.
nell was the trusted and authoritative
lieutenant of archbishop Ireland, at
Rome.
Loyalty to his leader and his support
of so-called Americanism, secured for
him a persecution led especially by
Cardinals Ledochowsky and Ciasco,
both of whom are dead. Mgr. O'Con-
nell was dismissed from the restor-
ship of the American college here and
lived for seven years at Rome with.
out an appointment. The two Ameri.
can factions, which are recognized as
chiefs in the United States, Archbish-
ops Ireland and Corrigan, have now
as corresponding leaders in Rome Car.
dinals Satolli and Martinelli.
Archbishop Ireland got ahead by
Governor Taft's coming to Rome to
negotiate the Philippine question and
Cardinal Martinelli tried to get even
through the influence of the intrigues
of Mgr. Chappelle during his six
weeks stay lately in Rome.
The present appointment of Mgr.
O'Connell shows decidedly which side
the pope favors.
Old residents at the vatican say that
the real inwardness of the appoint.
ment Of Mgr O'ConneI is that Arch.
bishop Ireland will soon enter the sa.
cred college.
