QUAKE RUINS ARE
SWEPT BY FIRE
Soldiers and Sailors Work
Heroically to Save Last
Remnants of Town.
SURVIVORS SUFFER GREATLY
Intense Cold Adds to Their Discomfort;
OdOr of Dead Bodies Less
Overp0wering.

Messina, Jan. 20. - Messina was
swept by fire again yesterday. For
many hours soldiers and sailors work
ed heroically to keep the flames from
destroying the last remnants of the
town and eventually they succeeded in
getting the fire under control. The
extent of the damage cannot be esti-
mated because doubtless much of
great value was burned UP in the
ruins. 1t is supposed that smoldering
embers in the wreckage were famed
into flame by the strong wind that has
prevailed here for the past two or
three days, and apparently the fire
secured a good foothold before eff
forts were made to eXtinguish it.
Swept the Ruins.
The flames made fast progress and
soon swept through the remains of
the beautiful promenade along the har-
Dor front The small force Of firemen
was augmented by detachments of
soldiers and sailors from the warships
and pumps and lines of hose were
brought ashore from the vessels.
The survivors of the earthquake
have been rendered more helpless by
the intensity Of the cold. The hills
all about are white with snow, and
the refugees are suffering greatly.
MANY of them are still living in tents
and with not sufficient clothing to pro-
tect them.
Odor Less OverpoWering.
The constant cry is for lumber for
the construction of huts and the gov
eminent is doing everything possible
but the need is most urgent.
Since the ruins in old Messina have
been swept by fire the odor of decay
ing bodies is less overpowering. Thou
sands have been buried, and the fire
has destroyed many of those that re-
manned. Excavations for the recovery
of property are going on steadily. At
the cathedral pictures and tapestries
have been found, many in an excellent
state Of preservation.
Eight Killed in Quake.
Smyrna, Turkey, Jan. $3.50 far as
can be ascertained eight persons were
killed yesterday morning by sharp
earthquake which occurred at Pho
caea. twenty-five miles northeast of
this city, and at other neighboring
towns. Considerable damage was done

RAILROAD WAR GROWS HOTTER
Report Has 1t That the Grand Trunk
Is Seeking to Purchase the
Great Western.

Chicago, JAN 20-Report has it that
the Grand Trunk interests are now
after the Chicago Great Western, to
counteract the purchase Of the Wis
consin Central by the Canadian Pa
cific. These two great Canadian sys-
TENS are in hot competition for bust
ness and are also engaged in a cam
paign of territorial invasion that is
brooking no obstacles. The Canadian
Pacific already has it's own tracks en-
tirely across the dominion between
the two oceans, and the Grand Trunk,
with the assistance of the Canadian
government, the latter building one
half the line, is pushing its road rapid
ly to the Pacific coast.
The Grand Trunk has had the adj
vantage over the Canadian Pacific in
that it owns line in Chicago. The
Grand Trunk comes into this city
from the East and this gives it all
connections in that direction. The
Canadian Pacific will now reach Chi
cago from the West. AS it is expect
ed, the Canadian Great Northwest
will have to co1onize in hopes of Sc
curing future business, and the Grand
Trunk to induce homeseekers from
the Middle West, must get a line to
st. Paul or Winnipeg from Chicago.
The Chicago Great Western offers
such connecting link and it is up to
the Grand Trunk owners, assisted by
the ever ready colonial government, to
buy the old Stickney line. If the
Grand Trunk should consummate such
a deal, it will, after the completion Of
its coast road, give it a greater ad-
vantage than is enjoyed by any other
American line.
