anese officers landed and conferred
with the JarIne consul. The pre-.
sumption here is that Vice Admiral
Togo acquired some information con-
corning Rojestvensky's intended move
ments.
So far as known in London Rojest-
vensky's squadron is still off the coast
of Madagascar. hut as the ice In the
harbor of Nladivostols IS probably be
ginning to give, the Russian admiral
must soon make a decision whether to
dash for Vladivostok or return to Rus
sia. Naval experts here believe that
Togo will not come much farther in
quest of the Baltic squadron, on the
ground that he cannot afford to run
unnecessary risks.

Meanwhile news of the accident
had reached the homes of the opera
tives and through, the crowds already
near the burning factory, men and
women We're struggling wildly towards
the center to get news of relatives
Cries, which sounded above the roar
of the flames, We're heard as frantic
women learned that there was little
hope for any one who was caught in
the burning part of the building. When
the flames reached Dahlborg's block
even the firemen We're obliged to re-
treat temporarily and it was feared
that large section of the district
would be obliterated.
The occupants of all nearby bull
ings had little time to save their eff
fects. Some barely escaped themselves
Reinforced by the arrival of other ap-
paratus, however. the department
made fresh attack and after hard
struggle succeeded in stopping the
spread of the. flames, although the
Dahlborg block and one or two smaller
buildings had been ruined. The finan-

RUSS nrrInEs IN GOOD ORDER
Another Army Race Is Looked For-Rnil-
way Bridge Is the Prize,


Santoupu. March II. - The Rus
sian detachments nj Tie pass were on
March 10 ordered to eyacuate their pO-
sitions, and during the night retired in
exemplary order, covering their rear.
There had been fighting throughout the
day. Before the withdrawal of the
Russian forces the military settlement
and such of the stores of fuel and for
age as could not be removed were set
on fire and destroyed. The fighting on
March il and 10 fell to the Second ST.
berian corps.
London, March 17.-An unconfirmed
report from st. Petersburg states that
General Kuropatkin will retreat, not
to Hardin but to Kirin and Vladivo-
stok. This, however, is regarded here
as quite improbable and the ensuing
fortnight is expected TO witness d keen
race between the Russians and jap
anese for the great railway bridge over
the Sungarl river, as it is believed that
after Tie pass there is no fortified
place of sufficient strength at which to
make Il stand until the Russians reach
Hardin.
If Kuropatkin should be able to
make a successful retirement thither
1t is likely that he would be able to add
some 10000 fresh troops to his ex-
hausted army. A question discussed
here is the possibility of Russia
cvacuating Nladivostok and concen-
frating its garrisons at Hardin.

STRIKE BREAKERS REBEL
They Say tho marlborough Company Has
Not Treated Them Fairly
as to Paw.

New York, March 17.-There was
open rebellion among the 600 strike
breakers brought to this city by the
1nterborough Rapid Transit company
from surrounding towns and cities,
and considerable excitement, owing to
the alleged unfair treatment of the
men by the company.
The men first complained because
the company stopped supplying them
with meals more than twelve hours
before they received their pay, and the
men had not sufficient money to buy
their own meals. When the pay car
did arrive the men found that they
were only paid for the work they did
last week, and as many wanted to
leave they wanted their pay in full.

Ambulnnces Sent to the Scene,


After the explosion many employees
went to their homes as soon as they
left the building. This added to the
difficulty of the police and factory fore
men in compiling reliable list of
missing. The Brockton hospital was
notified at once of the disaster and
hurried preparations We're made to re-
ceive the injured.
All the ambulances, police wagons
and many street carriages We're sent
to Campello. All the available physi
clans and surgeons in the city We're
sent up in hacks and by trolley.
City Fire Marshal Boyden stated
that reports made to him up to noon
indicated that the list of dead might
reach fifty. Lists of the employees in
the different departments of the fac.
tory have been posted at the fire sta
ton and calls have been sent out for
every person who escaped to indicate
the fact on the list In this way, it is
hoped. fairly accurate estimate of
the number of dead may be obtained
