And after this she called him Mr. Dog.

some sort OF deal with an Alderman ne
had afforded a scandal for the newspa-

occasional fling from the men who wrote
short paragraphs. His kindness, how"
ever, was such as to awaken gratitude IN
the heart of the mother He would brlsg
articles of diet and leave them without

THE OOGGER BANK DECISION.
The international Commission Dc
cidcs the Opening of FIRE ny
Rojestvensky Was Not Justified.

Paris, Feb. 27.-The international
commission on the North sea incident
finds that THE OPENING OF iHE
FIRE BY ADMIRAL RoJESTVENskY
WAS NOT JUSTIFIED"
The decision was publicly announceu
at the closing session of the commits
sion Saturday.
The decision lengthily sets forth the
circumstances and incidents, and gives
the opinion of the admirals on the var
ious important points involved.
The decision says the delay of the
Russian transport Kamschatka, follow
ing the breakdown of her machinery,
was perhaps the cause of the incident.
The commander of the kamschatka
signaled to Admiral Roiestvensky dur
ing the evening that he had been at
tackled by torpedo boats The admiral
therefore had reason to believe he
would be attacked and gave orders 1ol
strict vigilance against the possible a2
proach of torpedo boats.

THE HOT SPRINGS, ARK, FIRE,
Mare 'vhnn Forty Blocks Eaten
Away AZ Loss OF S2,ooo,ooo-
Three Lives Lost,

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 27--Sunday
was a day of gloom in Hot Springs.
The first estimates of the damage done
by the great conilagration OF Saturday
we're not exaggerated, More than for
ty blocks were eaten away by the
flames. and the most conservative estl-
mate places the loss at million ana
a half dollars, and several Insurance
men state the figures will reach 81
100000.
The three unknown bodies recovered
are the only known fatalities.
The citizens relief committee has
the situation well in hand.
The amount subscribed for relief to-
tails $4,000 thus far, but it is being
steadily increased, The committee feel
that they can feed the homeless. Vol
untary subscriptions from the outside
are being accepted.
Several excursion trains arrived sun
day. bringing visitors from adjacent
cities and towns to view the ruins.
Mayor Belding ordered all saloons
closed, and it was tight Sunday IN
Hot Springs. The following statemen!
has been issued
Mayor BcldinG's statement
ITO the Public The fre-swept area
lies principally in the residence portion
of the city. While the loss is enormous
the principal business portion OF Hot
! Springs, including the hotels and batl
houses. are not affected, We think
therefore, it proper to request th'
press to state that our city has ample
accommodations for all who may de
sire to visit it for health, and no ad
vance in rates will be tolerated.
