Great Business Blocks Burned to the
Ground.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 30.--A fire which
has destroyed property estimated at
approximately 100000 started at 10
o'clock Saturday night from what is
believed to have been an overheated
stove in the commission house Of G.
H. Mullen & Co., located at Eleventh
and Howard streets. The flames spead
so rapidly that Chief Salter of the fire
department at once turned in gen.
eral alarm, which brought the entire
department Of the city to the scene,
not, however, until the flames had got
ten quite beyond control. Five COM
mission houses were located in the
building where the flames were start
ed, and all of these were enveloped In
a very short time.

story building occupied by a large

Germ caught in the upper stories and
the fire soon spread to the lower
floors and the entire stock was de-
stroyed.
The block in which the fire occur
red was In the wholesale district, and
contiguous to it were a large number
Of stores.
AS soon as the firemen discovered
the building could not be saved, they
turned their attention to adjoining
buildings. Despite their efforts, how
ever, the flames continued to spread.
At 1880 the flames had totally de-
stroyed half block of five story build
ings containing valuable stocks of
Wholesale and retail commission firms,
and at that hour were burning with in
creased fury. Despite the efforts of
he entire fire department, with half
hundred streams playing on the flames
they continued to spread.
Next to Snyder's commission house
IN the north were four other commits
sion houses and the fire had enveloped
hose places before streams could be
started on them.

ATTACK BRITISH VICE CONSUL
WORK OF GROUP OF HussARs in
sTREErs OF WARSAW.
He Received Severe Sword Cut Across

saw-RussIan Government Called on
to Explain.

London, Jan. 30.-The correspond
emit at Warsaw Of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs as follows:
A group of hussars ran down Brit
ish Vice Consul Muoukain Saturday
aight in Mashalkovsky street. Two
hussars rushed at him with their
swords, inflicting severe cuts across
his face and lower lip. Dripping with
blood, Muoukain was conveyed to the
hospital, where he is now doing well.
British Consul General Murray had a
narrow escape from being similarly
run down in Wierzbova street. 1t ap-
pears that the incidents were due to
4 company Of hussars getting drunk
md running amuck.
The same correspondent describes
Warsaw as being in a state of com.
plete anarchy. MANY have been killed
Or wounded in charges by troops and
the recklessness of swashbuckling
hussars," he says.
The only conveyances moving in
Warsaw today have been military sup.
ply carts, ambulance wagons and tum-
Drills for the dead. The attempted ris.
ing of workmen has failed and the
great demonstration timed for today
has been postponed. After some fight
ing the wrecked and distraught city
pauses to see what night will bring.
The Daily Nails st. Petersburg cor.
respondent reports that Sir Charles
Hardinge, the British ambassador, has
asked the Russian government to make
inquiry into the outrages on the Brit
ish consul general and vice consul at
Warsaw.
The strike disorders are becoming
more serious. The ordinary life OF
the city is quite suspended. On Satur
day the strikers stopped the streetcar
service, but remained otherwise or
derby. Today, however, they began
wholesale pillage. The majority of the
shops in Marshalkovski street and the
state vodka shops were looted. All the
factories, shops and schools and the
aters are closed and the street lamps
are extinguished. There have been
several collisions between the police
and the strikers, and many arrests
have been made. Peaceabiding citi
zens are terror stricken.

UNABLE TO BREAK THROUGH
JAPANESE LEFT WING.
General Oyama's Position ON ehakhe
River Was too Strong for the Rus.
sians-Intensely Cold Weather Pre-
vailed General Grippenberg Put
a Strong Defense.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 81. - General
Kuropatkin's attempt to break through
the Japanese left wing and outer flank
Of Marshal Oyama's position on the
Shkahe river seems to have failed en-.
tirely.
Field Marshal Oyama, as at the bat
tie of Shakhe river, appears to have an
swered the Russian advance with a
counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown carry
the warfare into the territory held by
the Russians.
At the war Office there is an inclina-
ton to lay the chief blame for the fail
ure of the movement to a sudden
change of the weather to intense cold
GO degrees below zero), with high
wind, which drifted the snow and rem
dered it hazardous to expose the troops
to camping in the open plain and also
impeded the transportation Of guns,
supplies and the wounded.
The operation entrusted to the sec.
ond army, under General Grippenberg,
was the capture of Sandepas, which
proved too hard a nut to crack, and the
Japanese, taking advantage of the
checks of the Russians, hurried uI
their reinforoements and assumed the
offensive ON the Hun river as we'll az
along the railroad and the Great Man.
darian road. The Russians, however,
appear to have been completely sue.
cessful on the defensive, repulsing all
the Japanese attacks. Under the cir.
cumstances, General Grlppenberg de.
!cided not to press the attempt to ste rm
Sandepas. which is situated in a fla1
country end therefore more difficult tc
take by assault than in billy country.
Owing to the fiat trajectory and the
enormous penetration of modern pro.
jectiles, the capture of the outer. line
trenches on Thursday entailed heavy
casualties. There is no official esti.
mate of the losses, but it is expected
that some thousands on both sides
were killed or wounded.
The news Of this defeat, coming al
this time. is especially hard for the
government.
The popular idea continues to be
that the advance was undertaken il
order to divert the attention of the peo
pie from the events in European Rus.

Blgamy and Murder.

John Hoch of Chicago Accused of
Blgamy and Murder.
New York, Feb. 1. - Johann Hoch,
charged with bigamy in Chicago, and
who, it is alleged, married 20 women,
has been arretsed. He admitted his
identity, although when first arrested
he gave the name Of Henry Bartels.
At the Forty-seventh station where
he was taken, he siad:
II am Hoch, and a much abused
man."
"How abused?" he was asked. He
had nothing to say.
He gave his name as John Joseph
Adolphus Hoch, aged 45 years, a ma
chinist, living at 634O Union avenue,
Chicago. Hoch denied that he b.
been married 30 times. He said thai
he had been married only twice, and
that his first wife is still, alive.
Mrs. Catherine Kimmerie, his land
lady, said he engaged board on Satur.
day and had not been in the house 30
minutes when he asked to be allowed
to peel some potatoes for her. Today he
proposed marriage, and she then told
the police.
= In his room were found nearly dozen
new suits Of clothing. In most cases
the tags had been torn from these, but
those that had not showed that the gar
ments had been bought in western cit
les, among them Seattle.
Chicago-Although the police hope
to convict Hoch of murder, the only
specific charges that they have against
him at the present time are bigamy
and wife abandonment. From ali ao-
counts Hoeh has been married to IS
different women and six of these have
died under circumstances which the
police declare to be suspicious. Those
women were:
Mrs. Mary Schultz Hoch, disappear
ed from Argus, Ind, in 1900.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Russians Getting Activs-Weather 10
Bad.

Bad.
During the past week the Russians
have made the nrst important move
ment since fall. There was flying
cavalry raid under Mistchenko not
long ago. but 1t was not particularly
significant either in it, purpose or
results. The present movement ap-
pears to be somewhat different. The
entire Russian right wing seems to
have been active, and there are pre-
dictions that It may develop into a
general engagement all along the line.
Just what General Kuropatkin hopes
Ito attain is not clear. The weather is
decidedly unfavcrable for opening a
campaign, and 1t is said that the hard
ships already encountered are the
worst since the war began. Some OF
the European papers say that the Rus
SLAMS have taken the aggressive on
orders from st. Petersburg, the object
being to draw attention from the pres
ent internal upheavals and possibly to
awaken a little enthusiasm by bril-
liant military stroke at the front.
Russian correspondents in the field
predict that battle will be fought
that will overshadow those on the
Shake river and at Liaoyang, but, un-
der existing circumstances, it would
be unwise to put too much faith on
these predictions. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the engagement which be-
gan three days ago is a serious one,
and while it may not affect any nota.
BILE change in the positions of the two
armies that have been in winter quar-.
tiers, 1t is likely to result in severe
losses for both sides.
