Coal Chute Burned.

The large coal chute on the Nor
folk and Western Railroad at Shen-
andoah Junction, was destroyed
by fire last Friday morning, and
more than 100 tons of coal stored
therein was destroyed.
The fire started, it is said, from
sparks from an engine. As the
chute collapsed the coal fell on the
track, blocking traffic. The coal
continued to burn, and trains were
held at that point by the fiery
barrier for several hours. The
loss is heavy.

"SiXth-LacR of cooperation of the
units of the sixth Siberian corps"
During the fights on the Sha rivei
the senior commanders, Stackelberg
and Bilderling, were responsible only
for their own tasks and acted entire
ly independently.
Regarding the capabilities of the
Transsiberian Railroad, Kuropatldn
declares, although the Minister of
War reported that it could carry
twelve pairs of trains daily, this mum
Der was not reached up to the end of
the war.
BLUNDERS OF THE LEADERS.
After the fall of Port Arthur Kuro-
pGtdn describes his plan for a great
turning movement, and the blame for
its failure wah thrown on General
Grippenberg.
1T is regrettable." says Kuropat-
kin, that a fortnight before the COM
mencement of our advance the chan
ees of success were overturned by
certain orders of Grippenberg which

ment"
Kuropatl1in shows how his efforts
to realize this were checlSmated by
the deficiencies of the army and the
lack of transport and artillery hors-
es, dwelling on the details given in
order to show the utter inadequacy
of the Manehurian army to cope with
the situation. Kuropatkin admits
that had General Kuroki grasped a
critical position on the Russian east
front, which fortunately for us he
did not realize or he coulu have seiz-
ed Lao Yang as early as the begin

LOW STANDARD OF TROOPS.
KuropatlIin says that in reviewing
the Russian troops he noticed the
significant lack of strength, especial

many of whom were old,and the ma
jority "heayy. clumsy or understood"

of failure to carry out his instructions
and of fatal inactivity in defiance of
urgent, reiterated orders at crucial
periods of conflict.
"The manner in which Kaulbars di-
rected the operations of this cavalry
was ineffective and unhappy" Kuro-
patSin says. His unfortunate choice
of officers resulted in operations
which were unskilled and marked by
Jack of devotion. The cavalry under
General Grekoff and two forces un-
der Eicholz and Pavloff, in disobe-
dience to specific orders, operated
against Oku instead of against Nogi
There was no combination and most
of the detachments Of cavalry remain

themselves from the infantry. The

FAMOUS JAIL
TORN DOWN
PRISON OF ST. LAZARE, HISTORIC
LANDMARK OF PARIS, TO BE
DEMOLISHED.

PARIS, Jan. 24.-The famous prison
of st. Lazare, one of the great his
toric landmarks of arts, is about to
be pulled down, and what for some
years has been moral and physical
plague spot will give way to fine
open squares and commodious dwell
llings. Romantic and tragic memories
cling about the old structure.
st. Lazare, as its name indicates
was at first a lepers' hospital, built
at the end of the eleventh century
on the site of a basilica dedicated to
st, Laurent. 1t sprang rapidly into
fame, for kings used frequently to
visit it in token of humility and
faith.
In 1852, leprosy having practically
disappeared in France, the hospital
was handed over to Saint Vincent de
Paul, who established there a num-
Der of priests of his mission known
as the Congregation of Saint Lazare.
Saint Vincent himself died at ST.
Lazare and his cell is still shown to
visitors, with two stones worn hol-
low by the knees of the saint.
Saint Vincent's successors neglect
ed the work commenced by him ant
the house was turned into a sort of
refofmatory for insubOrdinate priets
and unruly sprigs of nobility, for
whom their parents had secured
'lettres de cachet."
The Lazarists having stored large
quantities of provisions, in view of a
possible famine, the mob of Paris
sacked the establishment on the 18th
of July, 1889, the eve of the storming
of the Bastile, and released forty
prisoners.
During the Terror many "ci-
devants" were confined there before
being tried by the revolutionary tri-
bunal. 1t was from st. Lazare that
Andre Chenier was led to the guillo-
tine. After the revolution, the sur,
rounding lands were sold and built
upon, ST. Lazare itself remaining a

A|RSHIPS FOR WAR
IN DAYS 10 Some
TO TEST ARMY BALLOONS-EX-
PERINlENTS TO BE MADE AT
FORT OMAHA.

Quietly but with a determination
TO satisfy himself thoroughly on the
subject, General Allen chef signal
officer of the army, has been for
some time making preparations for
most extensive experiments with bal
looms, airships and aeroplanea. with
the view to settling. upon some sys-
TEN of aerial navigation for use in
operations of the army, either in
times of peace or war. Recently
there arrived in this country from
France a type of balloon used by the
French army, which was purchased
by the Signal Corps, in order that its
merits might be tested in competi-
ton with balloons of American make,
while in New York there is being
constructed an immense balloon in
which it is proposed that the men
of the corps shall make their trial
ascents.
| 1t is the intention to conduct the
Experiments at Fort Omaha, just out
side of Omaha, Nebraska, and for this
purpose $4,000 has been allotted for
fitting up the fort with all the ne
cessary appliances, including gas
tanks, repair shops, etc.
General Allen said today that he
will be prepared to conduct expert
ments with every conceivable kind of
machine offered, but that the depart
ment under no circumstances will
purchase plans of balloon or machines
not already put to practical test.
Parties having anything to offer in
the way of aerial navigation may
send their inventions to the fort
where each and every one will be
given chance, before a board of
officers to demonstrate their worth.
In discussing the matter today,
General Allen said that he believed
this country was far ahead of any
other in the matter of flying ma
chimes. Already, he said, there had
been developed some which would
furnish few surprises when their
qualities become known. At present
the character of these devices is be-
ing guarded with the greatest secre-
icy by their inventors.
It is stated that the balloon corps
of the French army numbers at least
600 men, all expert aeronauts, and 1t
is expected that before long the Anne
rican army will have an equipment
superior to that of any other army
in the world.
Just how soon the experiments VII!
begin is not known, but General Al
len proposes to lose no time in com
pleting his plant, and he hopes be-
fore many months to have the tests
under way.
