HUNDREDS IN PERIL
IN THEATER FIRE.
Grand Opera House and Avenue Theater
at Pittsburg Destroyed by
Fire

Pittsburg, Pa, June Blight hundred
lives were imperiled in the fire which
yesterday afternoon destroyed the Ave
nue. theater and partially wrecked the
Grand Opera house, adjoining. A matt
nee performance was in progress in the
latter house, which was about half filled,
but, through the prompt action and sys-
tematic work of the employees, the audi
ence was gotten out without the
semblance of panic, and hardly any
one knew of the fire until they had
reached the street. Several women
tainted when they realized what had
happened.
The property loss will reach $1O5, 900,
fully insured. The cause OF the con-
fla grafton is believed to be traceable to
crossed wires.
The Newell hotel and the Antler hotel.
opposite the Avenue, suffered consid
cradle damage from broken windows, re-
sulting from the great heat, Employees
of the hotels and fremen kept water
constantly playing on the fronts Of the
buildings and in that way saved them
from burning.

Details of the Capture of the Com

Fated Fleet

Toxic, June 3.-Torpedo boat destroy
ers which have returned to SasebO fur
nish details of the capture of Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky. The destroyers Ka-
sunni, Usugumo Sazanami and Kagerou
were ordered to attack the Russian war
ships the night of May 81 and were
steaming ahead when they suddenly en-
countered a number of Russian ships.
The kasumi narrowly averted a collision
with a Russian cruiser, the clOseneSS of
which seems to have saved the destroy
ers from being damaged by the heavy fire
which the Russians directed on them.
During the Russian attack the vessels
forming the destroyer fotilla divided.
The Sazanami and Kagerou continued
the search for Russian ships throughout
the night and in the morning discovered
two torpedo boat destroyers.
One of them steamed away, but the
ing the latter the japanese discerned a
white flag from the foremost and the
Red Cross flag aStern.
She proved to be the Bedovi, with Adj
miral Rojestvensky and his staff on
board. The Bedovi signaled that her
engines were damaged and that she was
short of coal and water. An armed
guard was sent on board the Bedovi to
receive her surrender. The Russians re-
Quested the Japanese not to remove Adj
miral Rojestvensky and the other officers
on account of their wounds and the
japanese complied with the understand
ing that the guard would execute Rojest-
vensky in the event of the delay leading
to q meeting with Russian ships thus
running the danger Of his recapture.
The Sazanami ran q line to the Bedovi
and began towing her. The line parted
twice.
In the morning the Sazanami met the
japanese cruiser AkaShi, which conveyed
the two destroyers to Sasebo. During the
trip the destrOyers encountered heavy
seas and their decks were awash part

Rice Industry of the South.

In 1904 the United States changed
from a rice importing to a rice exporting
country. In 1893 we imported IFS, 600
600 pounds of rice and exported $4,000
900. In 1904 our exports of rice in
creased so per cent, our imports declined
20 per cent, and the figures were: Ex-
ports, 1873 100000 pounds; imports, 1871
100000 For 1903 the figures will be
even better.
The encoura ging feature is the finding
of a foreign market for our rice There
is no limit to the amount we can raise if
there is a market for it, but the price
is unsatisfactory if we overproduce for
the home market is very limited. If we
can arrange to ship any considerable
portion of our crop abroad the rice grow
ers of Louisiana and Texas will have
nothing to fear in the way of low prices.
