NOTED PIANIST ACTS QUEER.
Mrs. BIoomfieId-ZeisIer Missing for
EIGHT Hours.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-For nearly eight
hours yesterday Mrs. Fannie Bloom
1eld-Zeisler, the. world famous pianist,
was missing fro mher home, and her
friends and relatives, together with
the police, were securing the South
side of the city for her. During the
afternoon Mrs. Zeisler returned to her
home alone utterly exhausted. She
declined to say where she had been
or what she had been doing.
For some time Mrs. Zeisler has
been greatly troubled with her eyes,
which have failed steadily, and the
fear of being compelled to abandon
her musical work had SO preyed upon
her mind that she had become, at
times, subject to periods of melan-
cholia.
Yesterday morning she eluded her
attendants and left the house alone.
She was missed within a few minutes
and her husband hurried after her.
She disappeared, however, and no
trace of her was found until. she re-
turned. Mr.. Zeisler said last night:
Mrs. Zeisler was very nervous
when she returned, being on the verge
of collapse. She would not talk
about her absence. and when I asked
her where she had been, she would
only say, walking She was assisted
to her DOR and Immediately went to
sleep. AS soon as practicable she
will be taken to a sanitarium for rest
and treatment"

England Gives Up Hope.
London, Feb. 14.-While the British
government has not relaxed it's efforts
to bring about an agreement between
France and Germany on the question
Of the Moroccan police, it has given
up hope Of an amicable settlement.
It is expected in official circles that
the Algeciras conference will break
up possibly during the present week,
leaving the Moroccan situation where
it was before the conference was
Called. Germany is given credit for
the failure.

Algeciras, Spain, Feb. 1.-THE de-
sire on the part Of the delegates to
the Moroccan conference to arrive at
a satisfactory conclusion remains I'M
changed despite assertions to the con-
trary. The pessimism of certain of
the delegates ever seems to have
given place to a sentiment more in
conformity with the situation, which
is anything but hopeless.

HERO - THE PROPERTY
LOSS is $4,000.

Portland, Or, Feb. IA. - Four per-
o n are dead, eleven persons serious
ly and some possibly fatally injured,

day.
Watchman Young met death in a
heroic effort to save some horses. He
had made several trips into a transfer

time"
Then he fell back into the flames.
Ira Cooper, proprietor of a lodging
house, is reported missing, and it
may be that one of the unidentified
bodies now in the morgue is his.
Heroic Work Of Firemen.
That the loss of life was not much
greater was due to the work of the
f1remen, who rescued many persons
from precarious positions.
The district burned is partly built
owe a sink, and as the planking along
the sidewalks burned, the position of
the firemen became precarious. In
endeavoring to save some of the lodg-
ers from the rooming house over the
Mount Hood saloon two firemen were
overcome by smoke and were saved
from death by their comrades.
The fire started in the Mount Hood
saloon and consumed that place and
the lodging house above it, in which
a majority of those killed and injured
were sleeping. Twenty-one horses,
property of the East Side Transfer
company, were burned.
