Two Duluth Girls Take Poison.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 25.-Lizie La
Flax and Eunice Waldroff, young wo-
men, attempted suicide last evening in
the fest end of the city. They drank
a quantity of spirits of nitre while
walking along the streets and not long
after were found on the steps of the
La Flax girls home unconscious.
Medical aid was summoned and to-
day they are on the road to recovery
They are very sick, yet were willing to
admit that the attractions of life are
stronger than those of death.
The La Flax girl says she was tired
of living and wanted to die though for
what reason she does not state. The
other girl maintains absolute silence
and chides the other for saying any,
thing. They are about 20.

It's Decision
spyss1VExsKY IS NOT JUSTIFIED
s.,oId Have Been More Careful Be.
fore Giving Order to Fire
Upon TrawIers.

pARTS, Feb, 25.-The decision Of the
North sea inquiry commission was
made public this morning. 1t is ad-
,,orsA TO the Russians. The decision
,totas that Roiestvensky was not JUS
titled in firing on the Dogger bank
fishing fleet.
the opinion is signed by a majority
of the commissioners, the only dis
santing voice being that of Admiral
nopbassoff, the Russian member. The
commission convened at $3.50 this af-
tanoon. The findings were read aloud.
They consist of 13 typewriter pages.
Although admitting that the Russians
had reason to take the utmost precau-
tions the commission holds that the
responsibility for firing and it's con-
sequences falls on Admiral Rojest-
yensky. 1t holds that the firing lasted
longer than necessary, but that Ro-
iestvensky did his utmost to prOteG'
the boats known to be fishing crafB
Under the circumstances there W
sufficient uncertainty to justify Ro-
jestvensky's contin'apg On his way.
But the commission regrets he did not
inform the naval powers in the chan
mel of his occurrence. The commits
sion does not reflect on the military
yaor of Rojestvensky and his men.
They make no statement regarding an
indemnity, which will be settled by
direct negotiations between England
and Russia.

coERcE LABOR TO FIGHT BILL.
Railroads Adopt New Measures, Lin
ing Employees Against 1t.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Feb. 25.-The rail-
roads are adopting new measures in
their campaign to head off rate legisla
ton, national and state. The Chicago
& Alton road seems to be taking the
initiative. 1t is believed to be behind
a scheme of coercion by which it's en-
ployees will fight against the reguia-
ton of rates.
Under the yelled threat Of a
probable reduction in wages to follow
rate reduction, the labor organizations
represented among the employees of
the Alton have been persuaded to con-
sent to the signing of a petition
protest against congressional and
legislative action.
Action in this direction already has
been taken by Division 19 of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
which is headed by M. H. Butler, en-
gineer Of the Red Train" running be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis. At a
meeting held in Bloomington on Sun
day the members Of Division 10 adopt

Over 100 business houses and homes
were destroyed. Thousands are home
less. So many small hotels have been
destroyed that the authorities fear
there has been considerable loss of
life.
The department was unable to cope
with the flames owing to the strong
wind. The First Methodist church
then caught fire and the flames spread
Many business houses on Central ave-
nue. were dynamited in order to save
the north end of the city. Many resi-
dents took refuge in the mountains to
escape the intense heat.
The fire is now under control The
bodies of two men and a woman
burned beyond recognition, have been
taken from the ruins. The firemen are
searching for more bodies. All the
leading hotels nave thrown open their
doors to the sufferers.
A man whose clothing bore the
laundry mark of r. A. H., was burned
to death in full view of hundreds of
people. He was caught in the flames
from two buildings on Orange street
Several narrow escapes occurred in
the Grand Central hotel. Every house
on Market street between Central and
Prospect avenues was destroyed, be-
ginning with the Columbia hotel. The
fire swept Oak street almost clean to
Grand avenue. Only one block in the
path of the fire was spared. The mayor
has requested the citizens to throw
open their homes to the destitute.
The burned district covers about a
milo
