gained such headway that il was soon
apparent that there was no chance To
save the building from destruction.
Sister Ragettera, in her efforts to
save the lives OF the children in her
charge, succumbed to the smoke and
flames, The pupils who perished were
in portion OF the building where the
fire had obtained too much headway
before the alarm was given TO enable
those who responded to effect their res
cue.
An effort was made to get Point
Claire by telephone SO that assistance
could be had from Montreal, but for
some reason no response was received
from Point Claire.
The fire started about midnight in
the old ladies' hospital, and the smoke
was so thick that the children on the
floor above were unable to get down.
The convent was called Ste. Anne's,
and was a branch OF the convent Of the
Sisters OF Ste. Anne's Of Lachine. The
building was gray stone structure.

at some date in the near future. Mr..
Warner, however, made no such repre-

RUSSIANS SEEKING TOGO.
Baltic Fleet Joined by Third Squadron
Of Five Battleships.

Paris, April 2l, - II the French au-
thorities are to be believed, news oI
momentous import may be expected
from the Far East very soon, as, ac-
cording 10 Foreign Minister Delcasse,
the Russian feet under the command
of Vice Admiral Roiestvensky sailed
early on Thursday from Kamranh bay,
It's destination is unknown, but II is
believed here that it will now sail to
endeavor to locate the Japanese fleet
and give battle,
Naval experts here believe that the
third Pacific squadron of the Russian
navy. which is commanded by Admiral
Nebogatoff, has joined Rojestyensky,
and that the latter now has eight first
class batlteships, three second-class
battleships, three armored cruisers and
a number of other vessels OF not quite
so good a type. He is also believed to
have received large quantities of am
munition which had been shipped to
him some time ago, to have filled the
coal bunkers of his ships, and generally
to have placed his command in condi-
tion TO give good account of itself.
II is believed here that Admiral jon
quieres, who is in command of the
French naval force in the waters OF
French Cochin China, agreed to get a
message to the Russian commander to-
day, and that the departure of the Rus
slams followed. Such action has been
expected, as the French authorities
consider that the protest OF Japan
against Russia's using neutral waters
to recoal and refill depleted ammuni-
tion magazines was well founded, and,
if Russia has been asked to move by
the French commander in the Far East,
a difficult situation has been cleared up.

lgorrotes Cannot See Necessity for
Helping to Support Government.


Seattle, Wash, April %. - II the
Philippine commission attempts to en-
force the collection of taxes among the
lgorrotes, trouble will be experienced.
Twice the date for commencing the pay
ment of taxes has been postponed, and
each time the natives have concluded
that the American government does not
dare to attempt the enforcement Of the
commissions decree.
During the time the islands were un-
der Spanish control no attempt WAS
made to collect taxes from the Igor
rotes and other so-called mont Christian
tribes. Spanish officials were unable
to penetrate very far into the lgorrote
country, and the wild tribesmen nave
never contributed toward the expenses
of white government.
Chief Fomeloey, the leader of the
Igorrote party now in Seattle on the
wav to the Portland exposition, whose
selection by his tribe for the journey
indicates his popularity, is strongly
opposed to the collection Of taxes. He
is regarded as a rich man among the
Igorrote tribes, owning about 200 head
of carabao and correspondingly large
amount of land.
The carabao OF the Igorrotes are
worth from SIS to 500 gold and are
raised more for food purposes than as
beasts Of burden. In the lower pro-
vinces the carabao are trained to work,
and are worth twice as much as the
Igorrote animals.
1t is impossible to explain the neces-
sity of taxation to Fomeloey, who
sturdily insists his people never paid
taxes and gain nothing by contributing
to the government.
