great numbers of women ran for the
fire escape in the alley, only to find
themselves on a small iron platform 80
to so feet from the ground, with the
fire beside them and no means OF

Heavy Truck Stalled.
One truck ordinarily used for con

heavily loaded with dead that the
horses were unable to start the load
and the police were compelled to as,

Fight Way To Loved Ones.
Sheriff Barrett, who with a score OF
deputies assisted in the rescue work
said there were heaps of mangled
and charred humanity on all sides
and that they carried out so many
dead that they were unable to keep
count "Such a dreadful sight,
hope never will be called to witness
again. Crazed men fought to get
within the building, thinking to find
their loved ones among the pile OF
corpses that filled every available
foot of space. Strong men with tear
blinded eyes stood on the sidewalk
and called loudly the names of theiI
loved ones as though there were a

San Francisco, Dec. 30-A merciful

referee had begged Hanlon's seconds
to take their men out OF the ring out
they kept the game youngster at IL

might result, ordered the fight stop

Chicago. Dec. 31.-A panic resulting
from a fire i'm the IroquOis theater
Yesterday afternoon caused from 500
10 GOO deaths. mostly of women and
children. Hundreds Of bodies have been
taken from the theater and laid in rows
in Randolph street.
Most OF the occupants of the first
gallery were caught in a trap. When
the fire burst out. with one simultan-
eous run they made for the exits. In
the aisIes they fought When the fire
men reached the balcony they found
bodies upright, wedged between chairs
like so many sticks. Some were burn
ed to a crisp. others suffocated, and
some in the frenzy were thrown over
the balcony railing to the auditorium
and fncinerated. When the excitement
was at its height two explosions OF gas
occurred. hurting fragments through
the roof. II was then that the flames
broke out at the roof and through the
windows.

The IroQuois theater disaster was
vastly more destructive to human life

where 295 persisted. On December

Men worked at the task Win tears
running down their cheeks, and the
sObs of the rescuers could be heard
even in the hall below as this awful
scene was being enacted. A number
of men were compelled to abandon
and give over to others whose nerves
had not as yet been shaken by the
awful experience. AS one by one the
bodies were dragged out of the water
soaked blackened mass of corpses,
heart-rendring scenes multiplied.

Russia Buys American Meat
Mkado Makes Plans for War.

Pekin, Dec. 29.-Lien Fang, first
secretary of the board of foreign al
fairs, visited Russian Minister Lessar
yesterday and requested information
concerning the intentions of Russia
regarding the evacuation of Man
churia. Lessar said nothing could
be done at present with a view to
evacuation for two reasons. In the
first place, the minister pointed out,
the cold weather made it impossible
to remove the troops from their pres
ent positions, besides which, there
were no barrack accommodations to
be had elsewhere, and in the second
place. he said, it would endanger Rus
sian interests to undertake the evac-
uation during the progress of negoti-
atoms between Russia and Japan, for
the reason that Japan might seize
the opportunity to invade Manchuria.
The Chinese government is so
alarmed at the prospects of becoming
involved in the prospective war that
it would prefer that Russia should re-
main i'm control of Manchuria. AS an
alternative the foreign Office has in
dicated to the minister that a settle
ment to China would be that Russia
and Japan should retain their respec-
tive treaty rights in Korea and Man
churia if they agree not to attempt to
obtain further advantages in China.
The Russian commander imperative
" requested the tartar general to dis
band his militia men and to disarm
them. The tartar general issued an
order in accordance with this re-
quest, but, it is understood, the men
are concealing their arms, supposedly
with the tartar generals conviance.

Great Drawing Card.

The contest proved to be one of the
greatest drawing cards in the history
of the fighting game in this city. The
auditorium was taxed to its capacity
long before the bell summoned the
principals to action. Interest in the
outcome was intense. Corbett was
the pronounced favOTite in the betting
Opening at odds of 10 to s, a few
days ago, the odds gradually short
ened, owing to the weight of Corbett
money. When the lads entered the pa,
vilion 2 to 1 was offered in favor OF
Corbett. There was plenty Hanlon
money in sight. Under the articles
of agreement the men were to weigh
in at 129 pounds at o'clock or for,
felt $1,000. Corbett tipped the beam
at even 129. Hanlon evidently was
under these figures, as he failed to
give the scales.
Young Corbett was first to enter
the ring. His seconds were Tim Nc
Grath, Harry Tuthill and Billy Otis
Hanlcn entered the ring and at once
went to Corbett's corner and they
shook hands. Hanlon's seconds were
Harry Foley, Fred Landers, Ted Wolf
and Toby Irwin
In the first round, COrbett tried sew,
eral times to penetrate Hanlon's guard
with right and left swings, but failed
to get under Hanlon's peculiar de,
fence. Finally he got a right to the
nose, a right to the stomach and two
let's to face. Corbett kept pegging
away relentlessly and forced Eddie
to cover. Corbett got in a straight
left to the body as they mixed it. Han
Ion was mostly on the defensive.

THE MILK PROPOSITION.


The United States senators have
discussed the milk problem, in all of its
variations The debate sprang up on
a report from tho District Of Columbia
committee and was chiefly precipi-
tated by Senator Stewart Of Nevada.
who has abandoned "tbe crime Of
1873" so-called for what he considers
the crir.e of 19Oi--the failure to pro.
cpre proper legislation for meat aud
milk inspection
AS a naked proposition there should
be rig 1 il specun, by law Of meat
ara milk FOR public consumption; but
after carefully reading the senate de-
bate. we have reluctantly come to the
conclusion that such inspection is al.
most impossible Of obtalnment fl N
one cause or another We believe
that but for impure water polluted
milk and diseased or embalmed meat
health aud not disease would be the
general rule among mankind. II
would seem that If any place on earth
could be defended from these dangers
liz is the District Of Columbia, under
Federal supervision. But all attempts
along that line are utter failures. Il
a people have not pure water il may
be boiled. but how few take tha trou,
Ible. The same is true OF milk. From
