Osaka, Japan.-Confusion still pre-

disastrous fire. Thousands of persons
are homeless and facing hunger.
A system of relief has been organ
lied by the municipal authorities, but
it is inadequate to supply all needs.
Outside cities and towns are gener-

used in alternating distress of the
homeless and destitute.
The number of casualties has not
yet been determined, but hundreds OF
injured are crowding this place.
The latest estimates are that 10000
buildings were destroyed.
The conflagration lasted more than
twenty-five hours. In the burned sec
ton streets are narrow and houses
were mostly of wood.
Property of people who were able
to save anything from their burning

COMMITTEE SCORES THOMAS.
Superintendent of Utah State Inv
dustrial School Found to be
incompetent.

Salt Lake City-The special COM
mittee appointed to investigate condi-
lions at the state industrial school re-
ported to the governor on Thursday.
The committee in it's report briefly
reviews the charges and in a general
way the evidence tending to sustain
them. The committee declares that
Mr.. Thomas was not Intentionally
cruel to the inmates, but that his
treatment was severe and extreme. 1t
recommends that an educator pecu-
liarly fitted for the correction of the
young be placed at the head of the
institution. It suggests that careful
preparation is necessary in order to
fill properly such position. Then 1t
commends Mr. Thomas for some of
his work and suggests that 1t is prob
able that he had done as well as any
one not having the proper training
/ could do under the circumstances.
With reference to the charge of in
competency the committee finds that
Mr.. Thomas failed to carry out the in
structions of the board of trustees II
numerous instances and makes the
statement that if the instructions hat
been carefully followed the investiga
ton would have been unnecessary.

Madrid.-Oficial dispatches re-

tween Moorish tribesmen and the
Spanish forces outside of Melilla on
July 81 was a disastrous defeat. The
Moors cut off the communications
with the Spanish outposts and the

in the city. The Spanish killed and
wounded numbered almost 5000,

HOUSE ADOPTS
The TARIFF BILL
Measure as Reported by the Com
mittee Approved by Close Vote
of 195 to 1873.
Twenty Republicans Voted In oppo-
sition to the Bill and TWO DEM
ocrats for It-Democrats De-
nounce the Bill.

Washington.-The house on Satur-
day night adopted the conference re-
port on the tariff bill, 1876 to 183 The
Republicans shrieked in their delight
over the final outcome, and Chairman
Payne was the central figure OF an
admiring and congratulatory crowd
of colleagues. Twenty Republicans
voted against the report, and two
Democrats for 1t.
The vote was the climax of an
eleven-hour session, conducted
through most oppressive heat, but,
notwithstanding, it was en1ivened by
dozen or more speeches of more or
less fiery nature. The temperature
did not deter a vast throng from go
closing scene.
Chairman Payne defended the re-
port and appealed TO his Republican
colleagues to support 1t, pophesy'
| ing at the same time that when the
! bill was enacted into law it would
meet with the approval of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Clark, minority leader, and
many of his colleagues denounced
the bill and chast,sed the Republicans
for falling, as they alleged, to revise
the tariff downward, and thus keel
their party pledges.
Perhaps the most sensational
speech. of all was by Mr.. Mann Of Hi
nois, Republican, who said he woult
vote against the report provide'
rates on pulp and print paper as re
duced by the house were not retained
He denounced that particular schedule
: and he declared that Canada woul
take such action regarding pulp WOO
and print paper as to place an almos
prohibitory price upon paper in thi
country.

MEXICO VISITED
BY earthquake
Towns Of Acapulco and Chilpar-
cingo Partially Destroyed by
Series of Shocks.
Fourteen Lives Known to Have Been
Lost, and Score Perhaps Fatally
Injured, the Property Damage
Being Enormous.

Mexico City.-Central Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
Ouerato on the north to Oaxaca on
the south, distance covering more
than 1000 miles, was shaken on Fri
day by a series of the most severe
earthquake shocks felt in the region
for quarter of century.
Reports of the loss of life are not
complete, but the official figures show
that fourteen were killed outright and
more than a score perhaps fatally in
1ured. The towns of Acapulco and
Chilpancingo have been partially de-
stroyed.
Six persons were killed in Mexico
City and its environs, Four, persons
are In hospitals, their recovery being
despaired OF.
The large American colony escaped
unscathed. The poems were terribly
frightened. For days they had been
predicting disaster because the snow
on the peak of the volcano Popocata-
petl, visible from this city, has been
melting. An old Aztec legend de-
clares that when the snow on this
volcano disappears, so, too, will the
city at its base. The property dam
age here is slight. Some Of the ca
thedral walls were cracked and scores
of adobe walls were sent to the
ground, but the main business dis
trict showed no signs of the severe
shaking which it had received.
The observatory officials declare
Mexico City rests on an old lake bed
the made ground upon which grea
part of the city rests acting as ;
spongy mass, which neutralizes thu
severity of the shock.
A message from Acapulco says tn
lower half of the city has been dc
stroyed and that four bodies had bee
taken from the ruins. Later mes
sage from Chilpancingo stated tina
three deaths had occurred there an
that the number of injured was nc
known. The barracks, national pa
ace and hospital there were badl
damaged.
