sistants are working energetically on
the case. and officials of the coroner 5
office have made considerable progress
in the way Of gathering evidence which
will be presented on Monday, when the
coroner's inquiry will begin.
Estimates as TO the number of dead
still vary greatly. and this may be ac-
counted FOR by reason OF the failure
TO report TO the proper authorities on
the part OF many who. although oiii-
cialiy registered as missing, were in
reality saved.

THE STRAINS OF "DIxIE"
PREVENTED STAMPEDE
Gained An Audience Excited by An
Alarm of Fire.

Gained An Audience Excited by An
Alarm of Fire.
Americus, Ga, June ia catastro-
phe that might have been terrible in
it's results was narrowly averted here
late last night. The Americus Theater
was packed beyond its capacity with
an audience witnessing the commences
ment exercises.
Twelve hundred people, principally
ladies and children, filed the building
when an alarm of fire was given from
without. The prolonged sounding OF
the whistle, thus employed, created n
stampede in the crowded theater. Hun
dreds rushed for the single entrance,
which is twenty feet above the pave
ment and reached by a single wooden
stairway. Efforts of police in the build
ing and teachers upon the stage were
unavailing until the orchestra, with
wonderful inspiration, struck up
Dixie" The music and repeated as
surance that there was no fire in the
building served in a manner to restore
quiet, and the exercises proceeded. In
the stampede on the outer stairway
several women tainted, and a terrible
catastrophe was narrowly averted.
There was no fire at all, the alarm being
false.

Tangier Excited over the Landing
of Troops.
Tangier, June 17.-News has been sent
to Raisuli through the shereef of Baz-
zan that all his demands have been
complied with.
The authorities hope that the land
ing of some 400 Moorish troops here
yesterday will not upset the arrange
ments, and this is now the only thing
which threatens difficulties. These
troops are Of the worst type, and
though they were ostensibly sent by
the Sultan for the protection of Euro
peans, the residents of the city con-
tinue uneasy because the troops have
no discipline whatever and endanger
life and property.
A British steamer is momentarily
expected with the remainder of Raj
Suits followers, who were imprisoned
at Larache.
The authorities express the hope that
Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley will

HELD UP A TRAIN AND
SECURED MUCH BOOTY,
Robbers Said to Have Made IA Haul
of 1856 900.

of $65yOOO.
Bearmouth Mont, June 17.-Masked
men held up, the North Coast Limited
Northern Pacific passenger train, east
bound, at about a mile and a half east
of this station last night. After bring
ing the train to stop they dynamited
the express car, blew open the safe
and secured its contents.
The amount secured is reported to
be SOS. 900, though this is denied by rail-
road officials.
After blowing out the rear lights of
the train the men disappeared.
The hod-up was similar to the one
which occurred two years ago at near
ly the same spot and in which Engin-
eer O'Neal lost his life. The hold-ups
boarded the tender of the engine at
the water tank at Bearnouth and aft

train had gone a mile and half, they

back to the express car.
Before making an effort to gain an
entrance they forced the engineer to
light a cigar The express messenger
was commanded to open the door,
but refused. The engineer was next
commanded to light stick of dyna-
mite, of which explosive the robbers
had a large quantity, and he placed
the lighted stick against the car door.
The force of the explosion completely
wrecked the door, and the engineer
and fireman were compelled to pre-
cede the hold-ups into the car. When
admission was gained the hold-ups at
once directed their attention to the
strong box. Five sticks of dynamite
were placed on top of the safe and ig-
nited. but the force of the charge was

larger cap was used. The second

from Port Arthur. After the Chinese
were ordered out of Port Arthur. the
