PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT.
Not self-sustaining, but of Great Inter- est to Spectators.


 Washington. March 14.-Mr. Taft was accompanied to the Cabinet meet ing today by Mir Lawshe. auditor of the Philippine Government. who desired to pay his respects to the President be- fore returning to his post.
 Mir. Lawshe has been in this country for several months in connection with the Philippine Government exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. the accounts of which he had been adjust ing, His accounts show that in round figures this exhibit cost the Philippins commission $1.5OO.0 900. while the re- turns from franchises. admissions and other services were little over S70O.- 900.
 Although this shows that the exhibit was far from self-sustaining from a pecuniary point of view. the Philippine Commission feels amply repaid for the expenditure by reason of the great stimulus given to the interests of the American people in the Philippines and a belief that it certainly will result in large and permanent increase of trade between the islands and the United States.

will Ignore Decision of Interstate Com

 San Francisco. March 14.-The Law Departments of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe have reached an agree ment respecting orange rates. They have decided to ignore the recent de- cision of the Interstate Commerce Com mission which decided that the rate of $1.25 on oranges from California to all Eastern points was unreasonable and should be reduced to s1.15
 In other words. the railroads pur- pose to require the payment of the ex- isting rate unless the orange shippers can find relief through the courts. which means that the shippers will not obtain any of the fruits of their big victory before the Interstate Commerce Commission for a year or two.

FORTY OTHERS INJURED

New York. March i4.--Nineteen per- sons were burned to death in . are which destroyed the five story tsne- today. More than forty were injured and only few of the sleeping inmates escaped unhurt. Several of those who perished were roasted to death in plain view of thousands in the streets. Coroner Goldekrantx declared after an investigation that he had reason to believe that the blaze was the work of an incendiary. He issued subpoenas for the fire mar shal. tenement house and building in- spectors and health and police oflicials to appear before him at the inquest Thursday.
 The fire started in the basement and spread with frightful rapidfty to the roof The victims were caught in traps Of flame. the halls and exits being rend- cred impossible in few minutes after the blaze started. The building was one of the usual crowded tenenients and the disaster was the worst in the history of the east side. The district attorneys ofIlce has begun an investigation to place the blame for the great loss of life. Chief Croker of the Fire Department asserts that the police and tenement house departments are to blame for the violation of the fire escape law. The tenement house department say that the blame is on the shoulders of the fire commissioner. Of the nineteen dead, three bodies. those of boy and two girls, remain unidentified.
 Identifed Dead.
 Of the bodies thus far recovered only the following have been identiied:
 Rachel Solomon.
 Jacob Solomon.
 Isaac Solomon.
 Jessie Cohen.
 Rose weiner.
 Sander Weiner. i Ida Muskowitz.
 Harry Kaufman. Rose Miller.
 Morris Miller.
 Sarah Kline.
 Bella Lefdler.
 Harry Leidler.
 Gershon Fuchs.
 Rachel Eeidfer.
 Crowded fire escapes in the rear Of the tenement house were largely re- sponsible for so many deaths and in- Juries among it's population, which ap- preached 200 souls
 The scenes about the building after the fire was over and when the search for the dead began were heart-rending. Nothing so pitiful of such proportions has been seen in New York city since the Slocum disaster when a thousand persons, nearly all of whom were wo- men and children, lost their lives.
 The fire started in the basement, oc- cupied by Isaac Davis, his wife and three children, Davis had been out last night, and returning to his home early this morning, went into his store on the same floor just in time to see kerosene lamp in the rear explode. He awoke his wife and both tried to put out the flaming lamp, but without suc- cess. and then gave all their attention to getting their children out of the burning building. A policeman who heard the cry of alarm rushed to the scene and every effort was made to arouse the sleeping persons in the house. In the meantime the flames had spread with startling rapidity and when the persons who had been asleep on the upper floors awoke they found themselves confronted by wall of flames on nearly every side.

0ppOsltiOn.

Christiania, June 24-The feeling
aroused in Stockholm against King
Oscar and the Swedish government
has caused some uneasiness here.
There is enxiety lest the riksdag should
yield to this feeling and revoke the
policy outlined by King Oscar; but
among those best informed 1t is be-

bers Of the riksdag will remain firm
and follow up the policy Of peace.
The movement among Norwegians in
the United States to petition President
Roosevelt asking him to recognize the
independence of Norway is favorably

to rally to the support Of the old coun-

Ramstedt has rendered his resignation
but that King Oscar, backed up by
