THE OTHER EXTREME.
Italian Railroad Employees Obeying
 Rules and Orders to Letter.

Rome, Feb. 26.--In trying to escape the penalties of striking, the railway employees throughout Italy have engag- ed in a harassing system Of literal and exaggerated obedience of rules and orr ders. which is having the effect of bad- ly crippling traffic and provoking great indignation on the part of the public. The effect has been the cancellation of trains and the delay of others. The passenger traffic has been reduced in consequence about 50 per cent. at a time when the tourist season is at it's height, and the railroads are suffering accordingly. The employees demand certain concessions from the railroads and the repeal of the law prescribing severe punishment for railway employees who engage in strikes.

NOT THAT OF PAUL JoNEs.
Casket unearthed in Paris That of an
 EngIishman.

Paris, Feb. 2s. The corroded name
 plate on the leaden coffin unearthed as
 result of the preliminary examina-
 ton which Ambassador Porter is nlak-
 ing for the body of John Paul Jones,
 the naval hero of the Revolutionary war, has finally been deciphered, show ing that it was the coffin of an English
 man buried May 5, 1790, two years be
 fore the death of Jones. Consequently the coffin will not be opened. The ex- animation continues.
 The finding of this leaden coffin has the advantage of establishing that
 those buried in the Protestant ceme. tery about the time of Jones' death lie in the vicinity of the present excava- tions. .

HOT SPRINGS, ARK. FIRE
FIRST ESTIMATE OF THE DAM as AGE NOT EYAGGERATFD.

to S&,00U,0OO-Helief Work Starts
 With s12,oO0--Niayor Ordered All sa-
 looms Closed Yestcrday-Hotels and
 Bath Houses Not Affected by the Fire
 and Are Open for Business.
 Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 26.-The first estimates of the damage done by the great fire here were not exaggerated. More than forty city blocks have been eaten away by the flames, and the most conservative estimates place the loss at a million and half dollars, while sev- eral insuranve men say the figures will reach two million.
 The three unknown bodies recovered are the only known fatalities. The citizens relief committee has the situ- ation well in hand. The amount sub scribed for relief work totals 2,OOO to- night. and the sum is being steadily in creased.
 Mayor Bedding ordered all saloons closed, and it was tight" Sunday for Hot Springs.
 The following statement has been is sued:
 < To the public: The fire swept area lies principally in the residence portion of the city. While the loss is enormous the principal business portion of Hot Springs, including the hotels and bath houses, are not affected. We think, therefore, it proper to request The As sociated Press to state that our city has ample accommodations for all who may desire to visit it for health or pleasure, and no advance in rates will be tolerated. r>.
 Signed: George R. Bedding, Mayor. . Martin Eisel, superintendent of the government reservation.
 The relief committee has systematic ed it's work to such an extent that no deserving person rendered destitute by the fire has suffered for the ordinary comforts of life Nearly every residence in the city has been thrown open to such persons, and the management of the 0aklawn race track has rendered the use of it's grand stand and cottages.
 The devastated district will be steadi- ly rebuilt. Property owners are already planning with architects, and in three instances carpenters began work to- day on temporary structures.

JAPAN,S NAVAL PROGRAMME.
Has Not Ordered Ships of EngIand--To Build Her Own.

Tokio, Feb. 26.-The statement cabled to the United States from London that Japan has ordered for battleships in England is incorrect. It is probable, unless circumstances dictate otherwise, that Japan in future will construct all her vessels at home. She has equipped extensive yards, shops and gun and armor foundries, and there is a strong and growing sentiment in the navy and among the people generally in favor of home construction exclusively. The yards are already engaged in an exten- sive building programme, which in- cludes two large arnnored vessels.

: St. Petersburg, Feb. 27.--1:S5 a. m.- The question of convoking the zemsky sobor is apparently not yet settled. Some of the emperor's advisers are urg- ing the idea that to summon the land parliament at this time would be fatal to the autocracy, but that as a prelimi- nary step toward a representative as sembly it might be well to invite repre- sentatives of the people to sit in the council of the empire, a purely consult tative assembly with existing conser- vative elements as a balance wheel.

Vladivostok, Feb. 26.-The report from Tokio that Russian cruisers had left this harbor and were met by Jap, anese blockaders and obliged to retire is incorrect.

Life in the town is quiet and regular, though the streets are less thronged than usu. al, owing to the absence of non-com. batants.

gust II have just reached London in
mail advices. Thirty-eight were killed
and 1877 wounded by soldiers, who raid
ed the Jewish quarters to take revenge
for bomb outrage in which three SOL
diers were killed. The massacre was
as appalling as the one at Kishcneff
two years ago, although at Bialistok
the populace stood by and watched the
soldiers do the killing, while at kishe-
neff the soldiers were the spectators.
The soldiers raised the cry Of Death
to the Jews" and general move was
made for the Jewish quarter of the
city.~Several vodka shops were raid
ell and the soldiers, infiamed with
liquor, marched through the streets,
shooting at Jewish men, women and
children Unfortunately. In nearly
every case the dead were slashed with
bayonets as they lay in the streets 1t
is admitted that the soldiers were
drunk; but so far no steps have been
taken to punish them.

RUIN BY CLOUDBURST.
Flood Sweeps Through Colorado Towns
of Berwind and Tabasco-Nine
Lives Lost.

Trinidad, Col, Aug. 25.-A cloudburst
in the vicinity of Rhode canyon,
through which ordinarily small
stream of water runs, converted the

ing numbers of persons. The proper
ty loss is estimated at hundreds of
thousands of dollars, suffered mostly
by the Colorado Fuel & Iron company

canyon all night, making it impossible
to penetrate to the point where the loss
of life is said to have occurred. Rumors
are in circulation that II to 20 houses
were swept down the canyon and 25 to
So lives lost. Traffic on the Colorado e
Southern, the Santa Fe and the Denver
&; Rio Grande railroads is interrupted
owing to the washouts in this vicinity.
According to information received
from Hastings Friday possibly IA per-
sons were drowned in the floods at Ia
basco, 16 miles north of Trinidad Sew
en- houses occupied by Austrian and Ital-
ian laborers and their families were
swept away. Tabasco and Berwin coal
mining camps, having together about
1000 population, are located in the
Rhode canyon. Parties leaving Trim
idad for the scene were unable to go
through on account of washouts.
