the city started with the shake. BY ten
O'Clock that morning the bills began to

and they began to dynamite the build

All day we watched the fire come stead

were filled with the homeless all fleeing
from the fire, delicate women and child

porch, wrapped in quilts, and waited as
every one else did. The next day by go

Walter stopped to assist some OF the

out here through the weary thousands,
all fleeing before the flames. The first
night we slept on straw in the shed and
the next night we slept on the ground

are desperate. The militia hung two

TAFT ON BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.
secretary's Report Defends Discharge
of the CoIored Troops.

Washington. In his annual re-
port Secretary Taft devotes consid-
cradle space to defense and explana-
ton of the course of the war depart
ment in connection with the discharge
without honor from the military SER
vice of the battalion of the twenty
fifth infantry, which was stationed at
Brownsville, Texas, last summer.
The secretary details the events Of
the night of August 10, involving the
shooting up of the town. of Browns
Vile by anywhere from nine to twenty
members of this battalion. He is very
severe in his condemnation of the
non-commissioned officers Of the bat
TALON for failing to discover and re-
port the perpetrators of the outrage
and of the enlisted men of the bat
TALON who, by maintaining silence
when, as he says, they must have
known the guilty parties, connived at
the crime. He insists that no obliga-
ton of comradeship should prevent
the men from telling the truth, but
indicates that such of the men as are
guiltless may be reenlisted.

Janan,s Empress Popular.

It is doubtful il any royal consort is
more loved by her people than Is the
empress Of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled In all
the accomplishments BETTING one OF
her social eminence. her majesty
strongly favors tho broadness Of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages.
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been Of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under peculiar men,
tai influence. All other bandages we're
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
Of their effect on the recovery Of the
soldiers.
