Potatoes Beat Cotton.

Victoria, Tex, April 27.-C. G.
Levi of the firm of A Levi & Co.,
of this city, planted seven acres in
Irish potatoes ON their ranch this
spring as an experiment, and are
much elated over the result. The
Weld resulted in 80 bushels to the
acre. The market price of potatoes
being SIPS per bushel, it is seen
that the potatoes brought 500 per
acre. That beats cotton, even at
record prices.

if he had his way he'd put in jail
everybody who ought to be there. "

SAVED Her CAT
Mrs. Lydell Brings Her
Nearly Suffocated Pussie
Triumphantly From
the Shiloh Mis-
sion.

During this mornings snow storm fire
broke out in the basement of the Mir
rora Office, No. 100 Grand street, form
erly Hasbrouck Institute. The building
is also. occupied by the Shiloh Mission
and by S. Hanna, clothing manufac-
turer. The latter establishment is locat-
ed on the top floor. When the hallway
and floors of the upper stories were
found filed with smoke there We're elev-
en- women and FIVE men at work in the
clothing factory. The building is. for
tunately, we'll equipped with fire escapes
on the west side and the eleven panic
stricken women and FIVE men were OBJ
liged to climb down these. At the time
they were covered with several inches of
snow and were very slippery. The whole
party, in a wild scramble, succeeded in
reaching the ground in safety, however.
An alarm from fire box No. 100
brought several engine companies and a
truck company with apparatus upon the
scene, and the fire was quickly subdued.
Its origin is not known. 1t was coniin-
ed to the cellar.
Some of Mr.. Hanna employees return
ed to work. Others who were suffering
from shock quit work for the day.
Mrs. Mary Lydell, who lives on the
second floor of the building and who ran
down the stairs to the street, remember
ed that her pet cat was still sup stairs.
She groped her way back through the
smoke and emerged with big, but half
suffocated, cat in her arms.

TO REMOVE SNOW.


AT yesterdays meeting of the Street
and Water Board the Committee on
Streets and Sewers was authorized to
provide for the removal of snow from
the principal local thoroughfares, espec-
tally those traversed by the several troll
ley lines, provided that an agreement
shall first be entered into with the Pub
lie Service Corporation for the payment
of one-half Of the cost.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Board of Finance to direct the Comp
troller TO transfer out of the funds for
street cleaning for the current fiscal year

record of killing more of the feet-footed
animals than any one man in the State.
says:
Yes, deer are very plentiful; more so
than for many years. The law making
it unlawful to kill deer, passed by the
Legislature several years ago, was
good measure. and came when the deer
were almost extinct. Since the close it
is surprising to know how they have null
tiplied. As many as eight have been
seen together.
Farmers in many sections complain
ed in the early summer that they visited
their truck pateh& and DESTROYED many
vegetables. The fields are literally track
ed with deer, and they are so tame one
can come within very short distance of
them. | do not believe in making an
open season for killing deer the same as
for rabbits or quail, but would extend it
only to ten days, and in such short
time to hunt the deer but few would be
killed.
Il certainly favor an open season for
killing deer once more before pass away
to another country. Although my age is
weighing me down, having reached near
/
y the eightieth mark, yet feel that |
am game enough yet TO knock down a
deer if | should be given chance to law

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dee. -, 1904.--A
special cable to the DAILY News from
Honk Kong says
According to "a leading capitalist of
the China coast, who has financed many
efforts to run the blockade to Port Arthur
it has been ascertained that the fortress
is we'll provisioned, and unless carried by
assault, can hold out for three months.
He estimates the garrison at $4,000. The
main shortage, he says, is the big gun
ammunition, but there is enough of all
kinds to last for some time.
Steamers of all kinds are in much de-
mand on the China coast. They are be-
bought by both beligerents for hospital
ships, transports and Golfers. 1t is be-
lieved III Shanghai shipping circles that
the Baltic fleet will make its base in the
Pescadores Islands, the only typhoon
warship anchorage near Formosa am
informed on excellent authority that the
warships will be able to break their way
through the ice to Vladivostock in case
the fall of Port Arthur should take place
before the arrival of the relieving fleet.
''Rumors Of impending Boxer troubles
are prevalent throughout North China.
Information from several sources points
to the fact that the Chinese are drilling
everywhere, and that conditions are sim
liar to those that preceded the last out
break, but that the trouble is more wide
spread, and the organization much bet
ter. 1t is believed that large numbers
of japanese officers are drilling troops in
the interior, and command detachments
of General Ma .. arm EHerthwest of Pc
king, and that the Japanese reverse will
be the signal for general uprising OF
the Chinese. led by Japanese officers
against Russia.
MANY residents here fear that such
an outbreak could not be confined to its
original limits, but would endanger the
safety Of foreigners throughout China Z

TO PREVENT
CONGESTION
Chief Murphy Plans to
Facilitate Traffic By
Keeping the Tracks
Clear.
TRUCKMEN MUST OBEY
Special Mounted Policemen
Detailed to Force Com
pliance With the
Rules.
TRUGKMEN MUST OBEY


Chief of Police Murphy recently decid-
Ell upon new plan to regulate traffic on
fils shoroughfares that become congested
during and just after heavy falls of
snow.
4 great deal of the congestion of traf-
tic. as is well-known, is due to some
truckmen who seem to take delight in
blocking trolley cars and who refuse to
bulge from the tracks even when they
have room to turn aside. The cars are
after filled with passengers hurrying to
places of business or hurrying home to
meals. Often failure of employees to re-
port for work on time causes them 70
lose their positions. The defiant truck
man does not take these facts into eonsid-
Grafton when he has it in for the motor
man and the more vigorously the latter
clangs the bell the broader grows the
smile Of the truckman.
The Chief yesterday detailed a special
mounted policeman on the following
posts:-Montgomery street, from Warren
street to the Pennsylvania Railroad fer
ries; Grand street, west ofNPaciic ave-
nue. to the junction Of Grand and Com
munipaw avenue; Newark avenue. from
Five Corners east to the foot of Newark
avenue at Sixth street
The instructions are to arrest every
truekman who maliciously refuses to turn
out of the tracks when he is blocking a
trolley car.
The city ordinance regulating street
traffic says thar no wagon, OF truck, or
any other kind of a vehicle, shall obstruct
railway tracks, and prescribes penalty
Of $40 for each offense.
Chief Murphy says this ordinance is to
be enforced for all it is worth. A mount
ed policeman. he says, sitting. as he does,
asiride horse in i position to see what
Is going on a block or two away and if
an obstreDerous truckman is blocking
traffic the mounted patrolman can put
spurs to his horse and reach the scene in
jiffy
The chiefs idea was put into operation
yesterday. and has worked 70 his entire
satisfaction.
While the snow is still in the crowded
tlaorouglfares there is bound 10 be some
congestion Of traffic.
This mornings fall of snow was being
removed by small army of men in low
er Montgomery street and Exchange
place as soon as the storm abated
For several hours the snow in large
flakes had been falling softly and stead
ily. There was no wind 10 pile it mp in
drifts, and where not disturbed by traf-
fc it spread ike beautiful soft white
blanket over everything. The lawns
about the city Hall, in fact, the City
Hall itself. were a pretty spectacle when
tle sun rame shining through rift of
clouds after tlie storm was over.
