PiIferIns Of the Goods Almost as
Heavy as Damage and Loss BY FIre.

The losses to the merchants OF
High Springs in the disastrous fire
OF Saturday morning viii run far in
advance Of what it was at first thought
IL would, owing to the large amount
of merchandise that has been stolen
during and since the conhagraticn.
II was said that a special mania
seemed to exist for guns, and fhat
more OF this one article was pilfered
than that OF all others, although the
stealing was started during the fire
and has since been going on.
r. w. Higdon was possibly the larg-
est loser. owing to the amount Of
goods carried. and his loss will cas-
lily reach $4,000, so we are informed.
and the other losses win be in pro
portion to the amount of goods hand.
led by the several firms.
The fire was undoubtedly of incend-
larry origin. Although many doubt
this, still they are Inclined TO think
that way, since the large amount OF
stealing that has occurred.

READY TO RELAY MESSAGE
Y. M. G. A. BOYS
EAGER TO FINISH JOURNEY.
Leave Baltimore as Soon as Schools
Close This Afternoon-Runs
Off to Stations.

AS soon as schools close this after
will begin their dash through the streets
of that city in relays, carrying the sill
yer tube containing the message to
President Roosevelt from Richard Morse
of the Y. NJ. c. A. international COM
mittee.
The Baltimoreans will take the mes
sage to the limits of the Monumental
city. There the last stage Of the run
will be taken up by Washington boys
who have gone to their stations this
afternoon with the firm intention of
breaking all Y. NJ. c. A. records Of this
kind.
Harold Davis of Washington will re-
ceive the message from the Baltimore
relay. From him the message will be
turned over to the fastest boys in the
Washington association, consisting of
Uric Dunbar, James Buddington, Ray
mond Eliason, Arthur Nelson, Bert
Walker. Andrew Duffy, Edwin Guilford.
II. Z. Brown, Fred Magruder. Chanley
Pigeon, Edward Chase. Randolph Shaw,
Raymond Clark, Birney Seip, Robert Kill
by, Paul Dealy, Norman Geare, Carlisle
Dyson, Lloyd Meyer, Henry French, Paul
Sharp. John Tibbits, William Hough and
James Abbott.
This group will sprint in quarter-mile
dashes to Elk Ridge. There another lot
of boys will take up the run. As the
boys deliver the tube to their partners
ahead of them. their part done, they will
be picked up by automobiles, which will
carry them down the road and give them
another chance for speeding further along
the line.
If there are enough boys to run through
the city this evening there will be hun
dred-yard dashes to the White House all
the way from Hyattsville. The course
will be along H street to the gates of
the Executive Mansion, where Gordon
Leech will grab the tube and make for
the President.
It is expected that the President will
take the message In person. If the boys
are swift enough to get the message to
the White House gates while the Presi-
dent is in his office Gordon Leech will
have the honor of placing it in his hands.
If not he will have TO leave it with
representative.

DEATH CHARGED TO FOG.
High School Teacher Killed and
Citizen Injured at Train Crossing.

PITTSBURG, November 23.-Dense fog
in this city today resulted in the death
of a well known woman art teacher, the
serious injury of a prominent business
man, several street car accidents and al
most demoralized railroad schedules.
Miss William Mckee, supervisor OF art
in the North Side High School, and w. S.
Bell, a we'll known and wealthy photogra-
pher. were run down by passenger train
at ROSSiyn station, a suburb. Miss Nc
Kee was instantly killed and Mr.. Bell
was seriously injured on the head and
back.
There were many collisions between
street cars and wagons. while all rail-
road trains arrived in this city over half
an hour late.
The fog was the heaviest experienced in
years.
PHILADELPHIA. November 23.-Fog,
the thickest that has been experienced in
this city and vicinity in a long time.
today seriously interfered with all kinds
of transportation. All river traffic with
the exception of the ferries was practical
ly at a standstil, and all trains, both
local and through arriving over the sew
eral railroads were late. The density of
the atmosphere also interfered consider
ably with telegraphic service.

SERv|A MOVES CASH TO FORT
GOVERNMENT FEARS AUSTRIA

Carloads of Coin and National Bank
Archives Are Rushed
to Nish.

BELGRADE, Servia, November 23.-
chives of the national bank were today
removed from this city to the fort At
Nish. This step was taken because the
government fears that Austria will make
a raid on Belgrade, the capital.
1t is rumored that the government also
will be removed to Nish.
ROME, November On. Milovanovics,
the Servian minister of foreign affairs, left
here today for Belgrade. where he will
report to King Peter and the Servian as
sembly on the result Of his mission to
London. Paris and Rome. The foreign
minister visited these capitals to pro-
tect the interests of Servia in the forth
coming settlement of the Balkan situ-
alton. He has now eliminated from the
Servian program every claim that is not
in harmony with the interests of those
powers upon whom Servia chiefly relies,
namely, Russia and France. Both these
states are interested in preventing the
Austro-German advance in the Balkan
peninsula. Great Britain, it is declared,
is determined to prevent Germany from
regaining the supremacy she enjoyed at
Constantinople before the advent to pow
er of the Young Turks. AS for Italy, in
spite of the fact that she is a member
of the Triple Alliance, she is opposed to
the idea of Austrian expansion on the
Adriatic.
NJ. Milovanovics will return to Rome
the end of January. He believes that the
international congress on the Balkan sit
uation will meet in this city during that
month.

the cries, family, over the water, and
saw the burning yacht. He cut loose a
rowboat and pulled toward the yacht.
Capt Collins saw him coming. Just as
the boat was within a few strokes of the
Preble he dived. When he arose Lininger

Germans at Vienna University.

VIENNA, November 23.-The German
and Italian students attending the Uni
versity of Vienna came into serious col
lision in the university precincts this
morning, and before the police drove the
demonstrants away revolvers had been
freely used and several young men
wounded.
The trouble was occasioned by an
Italian demonstration in favor of the
establishment of an Italian university at
Trieste. To this the German-speaking
students objected and they promptly or
ganized a counter demonstration. The
opposing factions totaled 1,2OO men, and
they sang themselves into the fight with
stirring patriotic airs, the Italians using
the Garbaldi hymn and the Germans the
Watch on the Rhine"
The lighting started with fists. sticks
and stones but the feeling quickly grew
more bitter and revolvers appeared and
shots We're fired. The Italians We're
driven from the building and gathered in
the street outside. At this stage the
police appeared and promptly dispersed
the rioters with their swords.

From a list read by Mr.. Kellogg the

were bought in Cleveland

Mr.. Rockefeller said that the various
companies in the Standard Oil trust
agreement which was made in 1882 were
managed as separate and independent
corporations.
During the recess today one of the re-
porters handed to Mr.. Rockefeller the
following written question:
DO you think you could receive i'm

Refreshed by days rest. Mr.. Rookie.
feller was smiling when Frank 3. Kel-
logg. special assistant attorney general,
resumed his cross-eXamination.
Mr.. kelloggs first inquiry was whether
all the stockholders of the South I'm
provement Company afterward became
holders of stock in the Standard Oil Com
pany of Ohio. but Mr.. Rockefeller said he
did not think SO. and when Mr.. Kellogg
rea0 a list or the South improvement
Company stockholders Mr.. Rockefeller
named several of them who he said did
not hold stock in the Standard.
Replying to further questions, Mr.
Rockefeller said that he thought there
was an increase in the stock of the Stand
ard OIL Company of Ohio from 81, 100000
TO S3,JO0,OOO in 1870.
In making the increase did you not
submit a paper on which appeared the
names of all the stockholders of the
South Improvement Company" asked
Mr.. Kellogg
The paper would be the best evi-
dence,' replied Mr.. Rockefeller.
Mr.. Kellogg then read several names
from the papers, and Mr.. Rockefeller
said it was possible several of those
mentioned might have been stockholders
of the Standard il they had the money
20 purchase the stock.
How many railroad men did you take
into the Standard after 1S70?'
Il could saw
