BIG FIRES IN THE SOUTH
New Orleans and Hot Springs Visited
by Disastrous CONGREGATIONS.
DOCKS and TERMINALS BURNED

The Illinois CentraI's Freight Handling
Facilities in the Crescent City De.
stroved, Causing a Loss of Millions OF
Dollars Worth of Property Many
Bales of Cotton Burn.
New Orleans, LATHE worst fire
ever known in New Orleans, entail
ing a loss in excess of So ,OOO, start
ed at the docks and wharves of the
} Illinois Central Railroad, known as the
Stuyvesant Docks, and occupying near
ly a mile front on the Mississippi River,
i'll the very eeEtre of the city.
The docks were built six years ago
and named in honor of Stuyvesant
Fish. President of the Illinois Central.
They were the finest freight terminals
in the South. and handled more than
half the grain trade of New Orleans
and nearly half the total commerce Of
the port The loss is confined almost
wholly to the railroad and the freight
in its warehouses awaiting shipment
to Europe.
The freight terminals of the Illinois
Central, including the immense grain
elevators, the sugar sheds and the cot
ton warehouses, were wiped out. The
loss is estimated at from $4,000, 900 to
$4,O0O,O0 and the fire, coming at his
time. injured the export grain business
of New Orleans Immensely.
The two elevators which We're de-
Stroyed had a capacity of Owe a mil
lion bushels of corn. and both of them
were partially filled. About fifty cot
tages in the neighborhood of the fire
We're burned. and for a time it seemed
that all that part of the city was
doomed. The fire originated in the
conveyOr of one of the big elevators,
and spread along the river front for a
mile with lightning-like rapidity. Five
thousand bales Of cotton and $4,000
barrels of sugar We're destroyed. Ten
ocean steamers. which were at the
piers. We're badly scorched, but were
saved.
So far as can be learned, no lives
were lost, although there were many
narrow escapes. Sixty freight cars i'll
the yards are a total loss. The local
Fire Department practically threw up
its hands early, and the fire spread
without interference until all the ter
minals were destroyed.
The Illinois Central carried it's own
fire FISK and had, it is understood, So
100000 in its sinking fund to the credit
of its fire fund.
The loss is almost complete. The
docks with yards covered nearly fifty
acres Of ground. Officials of the rail-
road say that it will take the railroad
nearly a year to restore its terminal
facilities.

OWED FOR A LOST WHALE.
Engineer Went Down Twelve Times
After Huue Mammal.

After Huge Mammal.
The schooner Charles Hensen, which
left San Francisco last spring, osten-
Sibly for a whaling cruise, but really
to trade for furs, has arrived.
During her eight months cruise she
captured only one whale, which pro-
1uced 1900 pounds of bone. The furs
gathered by trading were sent down
some time ago. Another big whale
was killed, but on account of the ice
it was lost. The mammal, which was
the biggest those on board had ever
seen, came up through one Of the
holes in the ice, and the ere killed
it. Before it could be fastened it
sank.
The crews of the schooners Olga
and Charles Hensen, both vessels be-
ing operated by the same concern,
were unwilling to give up such a prize.
and Chief Engineer Porter of the Olga,
go down and secure the whale. He
equipped in a diving suit, offered to
descended to the bottom of the Arctic
ocean twelve times and fastened hooks
to the whale.
But when it came to hosting it to
the surface it was found to be an i'm.
possibility on account of the ice. The
diver found the whale under a shelf
of ice, and the ice was forty-fve feet
in thickness. The crews exploded 600
pounds of powder in an effort to break
the ice. After trying for eight days
they were compelled to give UP.

RUSSIANS TO BLAME.
International Court at Paris Censures
Admiral Rojestvensky.

Admiral R~OjestvenSky.
Paris. France. - Excepting Admiral
Donbassol. the Russian representative,
every member of the North Sea In
quiry Commission signed the report
given out c%ensuring Admiral Rojest-
vensky for firing on the British fishing
fleet in the North Sea. 1t was against
Russia. although pains were taken to
show leniency to Admiral R~ojestven-
sky.
The court finds that Admiral Rojest-
vensky was not justified in firing OH
the British trawlers, but that he was
justified i'll proceeding without stop
ping to render assistance to the British
fishermen.
The decision says the delay OF the
Russian transport K~amschatka follow
ing the breakdown of her machinery
was perhaps the cause Of the incident.
The commander of the Kamschatka
signaled to Admiral R~Ojestvensky dur
ing the evening that he had been at
tackled by torpedo boats. The admiral,
therefore, had reasons to believe he
| might be attacked.
