RUSSIA MADE CONCESSIONS.

She Hopes Japan Will Accept Propo'
sitions Presented.
st. Petersburg, Jan. I'm reply to
Japan, Russia has made great conces-
sions, and hopes her proposals will
prove acceptable to Japan.
The foreign office has Informed the
Associated Press that instructions
have been sent to Vicedroy Alexieff
on which the reply was based. The
latter was drawn up in the most con.
clliatory spirit. Some of the Japanese
proposals were accepted, while Others
were made the subject of extended OBJ
servations and were met by counter
proposals.
There are strong hopes in many cir.
Giles that on Thursday next. the Russian
Christmas, the czar may be able to
announce that peace is assured.
The furry on the bourse is explained
by bankers as being due to the annual
settlement of operations, and they add
that it was wholly uninfluenced by the
far eastern situation.

Criminal Neglect.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Evidence showing
grosser criminal neglect than anything
previously developed was given under
oath in the fire department investiga-
ton of the Iroquois horror. Joseph
Daugherty, who had charge Of the
curtain, swore that two weeks ago,
during a matinee performance, there
was fire on the stage, and that when
he attempted to lower the asbestos
curtain it was stopped by the same
obstruction that prevented its operation
last Wednesday, the fatal afternoon.
The curtain manager declared that
he protested at that time, but that no
attention was paid to his warning. In
his opinion, if the curtain had been
run down during the fatal matinee, the
lives of many, if not all the victims OF
the disaster might have been saved.
1t was only by the merest chance that
a panic was averted as the result of
the first fire. The skylight at that
time, he said, was securely closed.

the wreckage. The people became

injured. His wife was thrown against

and her jaw dislocated. She may

ANOTHER CHICAGO PANIC.
Occurred at Funeral of Victim of Re.
cent Fire.

Chicago, Jan. "A serious panic
occurred Sunday afternoon at the fun
eral of Miss Carrie Sayres, one of the
victims OF the fire. The services were
in progress in the South Chicago Con
gregational church, in the suburb OF
South Chicago and the building was
filed. A fire broke out three doors
from the church and the first 1ntima-
ton of it was conveyed to the people
in the church by cry of fire in the
street. Many rushed for the doors.
Two policemen stationed in the street
called to the people that there was
no danger and urged them to resume
their seats. Their advice was not
needed, however. The pallbearers
went to the side of the casket and
stood in readiness to remove it and
the family of the dead girl prepared
to leave. Suddenly a cloud of smoke
came in through the open door and
the sight and smell maddened the peo.
pie. The two officers had barely
time to swing the doors open when
the rush came. This was all that
saved severe crush and probable
loss of life, as the crowd plunged
through the doors. When the street
was reached and it was seen that there
was no cause for alarm the greater
part of the people returned to the
church and the services were finished
Nobody was injured.

ire Inspector Fulkerson says:

Fire Inspector Fulkerson says:
at was the intention that these sky
lights should open automatically to
allow the escape of heat and smoke
and create a draft which draw them
upward instead of allowing them to
pass out over the audience. But from
the information | have l am positive
that the opening of the skylights was
impossible, because beneath each sec.
ton of the lights had been placed
pieces of scantling, which remained
there until removed by employees of
the Fuller company on Thursday"
Little result followed the arrest of
seven men of the double octet which
was on the stage when the fire broke
out. 1t was expected that the men,
who were arrested Immediately after
the fire, would have much information,
but the contrary was the case.
1--WE kept on singing and dancing,
and did not even know that there was
a fire until sparks fell upon the stage
and two girls of the double octet
tainted" said William Sleek, the first
witness called.
at is the rule of the stage that we
are fined if we turn our faces for
an instant from the audience. All I
know is that we stuck to our work
until we had to run for our lives"
Sleck's story was corrohorated by
the six men who followed him.
The police have arrested George
NJ. Dusenberry, chief usher of the the
alter, on charge of manslaughter.
Dusenberry declares that he tried to
hold back the rush OF spectators and
later helped to save 80 women from
the iammed front exits. He is held
to furnish evidence on the statements
made by many people in the theater
hat the ushers closed the doors and
that they at first refused to allow peo-
pie to pass out.

witnesses confederation of the charges
that a wrecking crew of the George
