SAW LOOMS LAND.
Passenger on Kaiser Wilhelm Sets
Many Minds at Rest.

Paris. June 24@The officials here
are not seriously apprehensive of the
whereabouts of Kent J. LOOMS,
brother of Francis B. Loomis, the
American assistant secretary of state,
who disappeared shortly before or
after the arrival of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II
at Plymouth, June 20. The inquiries
made tend to show that Mr.. Loomis
wandered off when the steamer
touched at Plymouth. One of the pas
sengers, GUstave Flamm, of San
Francisco, a passenger on the Kaiser
Wilhelm II, today furnished the
American embassy here with q spe-
cific statement to the effect that he
saw Mr.. Loomis go down the gang
plank at Plymouth with the other
passengers who landed there. How
ever. the failure of Mr.. Loomis thus
far to report his whereabouts creates
a perplexing situation owing to the
governmental mission with which he
is charged.

House of Hoo Hoo and Contents
Burned to Ashes.
Occupants Narrowly Escaped
With Their Lives.
30 BLACK CATS PERISH
Many Other Buildings We're
Threatened for a Time.
Another Fire Stampedes the
Elephants on the Pike.

st. Louis, No, June 24.-F'ire which
threatened for time to destroy many
buildings at the worlds fair today
consumed the house Of Hoo Hoo, rem
dering the building and all contents
a total loss. So quickly did the flames
spread after the FIRE started that the
occupants of the building. fve in
number, all on the second hoo=. had
difficulty in escaping with their lives.
The loss on the building and con-
tents is estimated at $4,000. The
fire is supposed to have started from
an electric light wire. The fire de-
partment responded promptly, but the
rapid spread Of the flames rendered
their attempts to extinguish the fire
vaIueless, and all efforts were directed
towards saving the Texas, German.
Oregon and Mines and Metallurgy
buildings, all of which were threat
ened with destruction on account OF
flying shingles. All were saved with
out loss or damage.
But ten minutes before the alarm
from the house of Hoo Hoo, the
worlds fair fire department had an
sWered a still alarm from the Mys-
terious Ascension on The Pike, where
ire had started in the elephant barn.
The loss was Insignificant. but there
was a wild stampede OF elephants and
OF the former awakened people on all
parts of the grounds None of the
animals escaped from the building.
The house of Hoo Hoo was one OF
the first buildings finished for the ex-
position. 1t was erected by the Ium-
bermen of the United States, but un-
der the control Of the local board or
the Order of Hoo Hoo It was d.
vided into many rooms, constructed
of different kinds of fine and expen-
sive lumber. Aside from this there
were specimens of rare woods which
were valued highly There were so
black cats in the building at the time
Of the fire, and these perished.
Fearing the Texas building would
be destroyed, women of that state
worked heroically to save precious
relics Of early history. Sheets were
torn from the beds in the building
and used 10 carry the relics to places
Of greater safety.
one point of the star-shaped build
ing of Texas is within IS feet Of the
house of Hoo Hoo, and in the large
first floor room Of this point the relies
have been on exhibition. They in
clude pictures books, papers and va
rious articles identified with the early
history of the state, and are priceless.
Nothing but the fact that the wind
was not blowing toward the Texas
building saved it.

KURoPArKIN WON'T FIGHT.
japanese Can Have Kai Chou When
They Want It.

St. Petersburg, June 24.-Today's
news from the theater of war indicates
that General Kuropatkin will not give
battle to the combined armies of Cen
eral Oku and General Kuroki near KaI
Chou. Doubt is now cast upon the i'm
preston prevailing for several days
that the bulk of the Lao Yang army
had been advanced southwark though
it may be that General Kuropatl1in is
concentrating his forces in the neigh
borhood of Hal Cheng. The only thing
that can. be stated with certainty is
that the information received by the
war office SHOWS that General Kuropat-
kin has no intention of seriously con-
testing the Japanese advance on Kai
Chou which would seem to carry with
1t the order to practically abandon the
peninsula to the enemy and as a neces-
sary consequence the withdrawal of the
Russian troops from New Chwang.
According to the latest reports Cen
eral Kurokis outposts are four miles
south of Senuchen and the Russian
outposts are eight miles north of the
same place and gradually falling back
along the line of the railroad. It is
likely that the Japanese will reach Kia
Chou in a couple of days. General
Kurokfs three columns seem to have
supended their advance, pending Gen
eraI Oku's arrival at Kai Chou. They
are occupying the three roads leading
from Stu Yen to Kai Chou, Ia, Tiche
Kiao and Hal Cheng, whence they can
move forward simultaneously. The ex-
act position of the Japanese on the Ia
Tiche Kiao road is not known. But
one column is at Vandiapudze. 40 miles
from Hal Cheng, and another is at
Chaplin, 25 miles from Kiao Chou. Mil
itary critics approve of General Kuro-
patkin's decision not to fight at Kai
Chou which they point out, is a. partic-
ularly unfavorable position, exposed to
a flank from Kuroki on one side and
to a possible landing at New Chwang
on the otner. The Japanese forces en-
gagged in this movement are estimated
at 900 men and an enormous number
of guns. Apparently two divisions have
| left Port Arthur which would account
for the practical suspension of the siege
operations, but which may also be due
| to the reported loss of the siege train
on board Japanese transports.
Although much interest is manifested
in the foreign reports of the loss of the
guns and in the reports from the same
sources of the drowning of Commander
! fn-Chief Gyama. and his staff, the ad-
niraIty has no confirmation of these
