Disturbances ~ Poiana-

Warsaw, POland.-Great anxiety was
caused in all circles by the situation
here. The assistant to the Governor
General. who was interviewed, frankly
admitted that the Government was at
q loss to know what to do.
Employees of the WARSAW -Mlava sec
ton of the VistuIa Railway have
struck, cutting off the last direct line
Of communication with Germany. Only
very circuitous routes were left open.
The strikers are resorting to violence
They have destroyed the great switch
board station outside the city and cut
number of telegraph wires.
Alarming reports were current con
corning the intentions and plans Of the
revolutionary party The strike agita-
tion is spreading In every direction
and bank clerks, journalists office SER
wants printers, pressmen, drivers, sta
tionary engineers and mechanics in
general are all threatening to strike.
The Vienna Railway was completely
at standstill and there appeared to
be no hope of speedy settlement of
the difficulty. The directors had long
session, but were unable to find So
luton.
Western Poland was completely cut
or from communication with Middle
and Western Europe, except by tele-
graph. No mails are arriving or de-
parting. the authorities apparently
preferring to hold the mails rather than
send them by cireuitors routes. Com

BIG FIRES IN THE SOUTH
New Orleans and Hot Springs Visited
by Disastrous Confagrations,
DOCKS AND TERMINALS BURNED

The Illinois Centrsl's Freight Handling
Facilities in the Crescent City De-
stroyed, Causing 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 $4,000, 900, start
ed at the docks and wharyes Of the
Illinois Central Railroad, known as the
Stuyvesant Docks, and occupying near
ly a mile front on the Mississippi River,
in the very centre of the city.
The docks were built six years ago
and named in honor of Stuyyesant
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 S3,000,0O0 to
S4,000,0O0, and the fire, coming at this
time, injured the export grain business
Of New Orleans immensely. I
The two elevators which were de-
stroyed had a capacity of over mil-
lion bushels of corn and both of them
were partially filed. About fifty cot
tages in the neighborhood Of the fire
were burned, and for time it seemed
that all that part of the city was
doomed. The fire originated in the
conveyor sof one of the big elevators,
and spread along the river front for
mile with lightning-like rapidity. Five
thousand bales of cotton and $4,000
barrels of sugar were 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 in
the yards are a total loss The local
Fire Department practically threw up
it's hands early, and the fire spread
without interference until all the ter
minals were destroyed.
The Illinois Central carried its own
Ere risk and had, it is understood, So
100000 in it's 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.

also been recognized in numerous tests

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

Paris. France Excepting Admiral
Donba ssol, the Russian representative,
every member of the North Sea In
quiry Commission signed the report
given out. censuring 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 Rojestyen,
sky.
The court finds that Admiral Rojest-
vensky was not justified in firing on
the British trawlers but that he was
justified in proceeding without stop
ping to render assistance to the British
fishermen.
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 Rojestyensky dur
ing the evening that Me had been at
tackled by torpedo boats The admiral,
therefore, had reasons to believe he
might be attacked.
