WHY RUSSIA WOULD FIGHT ON.

General Feeling That Terms Of Japan
Would Prove Unpopular II Accepted.
Berlin, Aug. 25.-There is no DISPOSE
tion today in responsible quarters to
predict the result OF the last efforts
for peace, but no one appears sanguins
regarding the outcome. Feeling on
Boerse was one Of uncertainty, and, a
like feeling prevailed in the govern
ment offices here, which are better In
formed as to the attitude of Russia
than concerning Japan. The dominant
feeling in the Russian court, as report
ed Officially, here, is that Russia is in
a better position to go on with the
war since she has heard Japan's terms
than she was before, because dissemt-
nation of these terms in Russia is hav-
ing the effect of bringing most Aducat-
ed persons to the conviction that the
war must be fought out, as the condi-
tions are insupportable and because
the return to Russia Of half a million
soldiers, discontented with their treat
ment In the far east and with the vain
results, OF their endurance, would add
to internal ferment, while the govern
ment would not be able truthfully to
answer the accusation that 1t had a
disho1orable peace.

French spoIiation Case.

Norwalk, Conn. Aug. 25.-An inter-
esting French spoliation case which
has been In preparation for a great
many years for a hearing, began in the
probate court yesterday before Judge
Henry w. Gregory, when administra-
tors Of the estate of next kin will pre-
sent their valid claims for indemnity.
In 1899 the schooner Washington
sailed from this port for a trading
cruise in the West Indies. The vessel
was seized by the French cruiser LIE
Ronomine and condemned as prize
at Bas Terra Goudaloupe. The schoon-
er was built here in 1893, and was
owned in equal parts by James Sell
lect, Eliphiiat Lockwood and William
Lockwood of this place.
1t has been decided that her seizure
and condemnation was illegal, and the
heirs of the owners of the vessel and
her cargo have been granted redress.

Trinidad, Col. Aug 25.-According
to information today possibly fourteen
iipersons were drowned in flood at
Taba SEQ. sixteen miles north of Trini-
dad, yesterday. Seven houses occupied
by Austrian and Italian laborers ana
their families were swept away.
The Colorado and Southern bran
line to Berwin was washed away and a
heavy volume of water rushed down
the canyon all night, making 1t i'm
possible to penetrate to the point
where the loss of life is said to have
occurred Rumors are in circulation
that twelve or twenty houses were
swept down the canyon and twenty
five to thirty-five lives lost
The property loss is estimated at
hundreds OF thousands of dollars.
suffered mostly, by the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company and the Colorado
and Southern Railway Company. The
former company had mines and coke
ovens scattered all along between
the two mining towns of Berwind and
Tabasco, and although they were
situated mostly out OF reach OF the
flood, the tramways connecting the
different portions Of the company
were practically all wrecked. and the
loss in this particular will be inn
mense. The railroad company had q
line running up the canyon and the
roadbed was nearly completely washed
out
1t is impossible to get accurate
news Of the loss of life and property
tonight, for the reason that commute
cation with the stricken towns is
constantly being interrupted by the
storm, which still continues. Relief
parties have gone from this city and
neighboring towns, but cannot reach
the canyon fop several hours as the
sixteen miles of distance lying be-
tween Is deluged.
From all directions are coming
reports Of the disastrous effects Of the
storm, which enveloped Trinidad and
the territory adjacent for miles, but
no further loss OF life than at Ber-
wind and Tabasco has yet been re-
ported.

New York, Aug. 25.-A loss Of more
than 100000 was caused by big fire
in the stores at Nos. 80, 40 and Al of
the extensive plant of the Bush Ter
minal Warehouse company, at the foot
of Forty-fourth street, Brooklyn.
Started by lightning during terrific
storm, just before midnight, the fire
was still burning at an early hour this
morning. The firemen then expected
to confine the flames in the one big
building in the Forty-fourth street
block. The Bush stores extend from
Forty-fourth street to Fiftieth street.
Filled with thousands of bales of cot
ton. consigned to brokers in Manhat
tan, the warehouses burned fiercely
and stubbornly. The fire department
was handicapped by lack of water in
that section Of Brooklyn only one main
being available. The fireboats from the
bay side of the building structure did
the most effective work
When the lightning struck the stores
the shock was felt for a distance Of
several blocks.
Almost Immediately flames leaped
from the low lying structure. A large

docks were in peril, but their captains
