Jacques
ss'
VAUDEVILLE.

Just now things Japanese are in great demand and the sentiments of the country seem to be in favor of the triumph of the forces of the little vel low men of the East. It was not necessary for q war however to in crease the value of Ten Ichi's troupe of wonder workers as entertainers be- cause the reputation established years ago by this remarkable band of ma eicians is still fresh and strong. Ten lchi and his large company of assist ants comes to the Jacques this week to lead the bill and if all the numbers follow his example an entertainment will be offered which promises to doubt of this afternoons performance be any pieans of judging but what they will. as especial pains have bcen taken to make the supporting features every bit as prominent as the toplincr. Ten Ichi is no stranger tO local thcater gOers and for that reason needs no il)- troduction. His former appearance here caused widespread and fiatteriug comment and when it is said that the act has been enlarged and made more beautiful the patrons of the Jacques can see what is in store for them. The other attractions on the bill are offered by Garfield and Carleton in their sketch The Hoodoo.' bit of funmaking which has created the most bowling success everywhere on ac- count of MT Canfeld's eccentric com. cdy methods and Miss Carletons sweet. singing; the Greysons. with Florence GregsOn. the most beautiful woman Prince Henry ever saw: the Olopas. musical equilihrists.

HOT SPRINGS BURNS
Greatest Fire Arkansas Has
 Ever Experienced.
FIVE DEAD; LARGE AREA LAID WASTE
Water Pressure Failed Brtgade-One Hundred Houses Destroyed-HOtel Patrons Victims of Flames.
 Loss, xI,5OO,OOO.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, Feb. 21.-Fire has swept the southern portion of this city, doing immense damage and caus. ing the known death of five persons. The losses are estimated at $1,50O,000. As several persons are reported miss ing the death list may be increased The fire was the worst this state has ever experienced and in five hours burned over an area of one square mile. Block after block of residences. business houses. hotels and other build ings was swept away, and the entire town was panic stricken.
 The fire department rendered good service, until 6 o'clock, when the water pressure gave out. Bucket brigades were then formedl and hundreds of citizens and visitors volunteered their services.
 The spring season always attracts a large number of visitors to this resort. The city has been filling up for several weeks, and it is estimated that fully ! 10000 strangers are here The three large hotels. the Arlington. the East man and the Park, were not damaged by the fire.
 About 100 houses were destroyed. The district between Ouachita avenue and Prospect street was swept clean.
 More than 2.0O0 persons are homeless. Fortunately the cold weather has pass ed and springlike temperature prevails. The streets are filled with merchandise
 taken from stores in the threatened district.
 The bodies of three women and two men were found in the ruins of the Grand Central hotel. The, bodies are charred beyond recognition and may never be identified. The register of the
 hotel was destroyed, and there is no record of the guests at that place. The tiremen made every effort to
 save the county courthouse and Jail,
 hut both were consumed. Many rec ords were burned and twenty prisoners
 in the jail were rescued with difficulty The Jewish synagogue. Central Meth. odist church and the homes of Mayor Bedding and Sheriff Williams were among the buildings destroyed. The passenger station of the Rock
 Island. although surrounded on all
 sides by the flames, escaped injury. The Little Rock and Hot Springs West ern station is also safe.
 When the fire broke out general alarm was turned in. A high wind
 was blowing and it soon famed the flames into a confagratiOn which swept the wooden buildings in it's path as though they were constructed of paper. The guests of the leading ho. tels were awakened, and many dressed and. securing their valuables in ease
 the fire should turn to the direction of the hotels. joined the throngs in the
 streets and did what they could in ar
 effort to check the progress of the flames
 To the west of the fire swept district is a wooded park, and this arrested the progress of the fire.
 The first estimates of the damage done by the great conhagration were not exaggerated. More than fifty city blocks have been eaten away by the flames. and the most conservative es. inmates place the loss at a million and a half dollars. while several insurance men may say the figures will reach So upO 00p

 "The commissioners declare that their views are not of nature to cast any disrespect upon the military valor or upon the sentiments of humanity of Admiral Rojestvensky and the person nel of his squadron"
 The members of the Japanese lega. tion seemed pleased with the report, which they listened to attentively with affable smiles.

 timony of Captain Clado and the other Russian officers, finds that there were no torpedo craft in sight when the firing began. The decision says:
 ''The delay of the Russian transport Kamshatka following the breakdown of her machinery was perhaps the cause of the incident. The commander of the Kamshatka signaled to Admiral Rojestvensky during the evening that he had been attacked by torpedo boats. The admiral therefore had reason to be lieve he might he attacked and gave orders for strict vigilance against the possible approach of torpedo boats.
 The majority of the commission considers that Admiral Rcjestvensky' s orders were not excessive in time of war. particularly under the circum- stances, and that he had every reason to consider the situation very alarm Ing
 The commissioners recognize unani- mously that the fishing fleet commit ItHQ uO uOSlilc htt- tuuloitt VII the commissioners being of the opinion that there were not either among the fishing boats or in their vicinity. any torpedo boats. the opening of fire by Admiral Rojestvcnsky was not justi- ned.
 The Russian commissioner did not share in the latter opinion.
 "The commissioners are glad to rec egnize unanimously that Admiral Ro- jestvensky personally di,l all he could from the beginning to the end to pre- vent the trawlcrs from being the Ob- feet of fire by the Russian squadron
