POWERS DENY ACTING
AS ADVISERS TO CHINA
Siberian Authorities Use Drastic
Measures in ExpeIIing Settlers
from Amur Province

PEKING, Feb. 21.-Great Britain and
France disclaim joint or concerted ac-
tion in advising China not to proceed
with the Chinchow e. Aigun railway
plan without considering the wishes of
Russia and Japan. Great Britain reit-
Grated it's representations and the
French government followed the same
course.
Advices from Tsatsilxhar, Manchuria,
state that the Siberian authorities have
for some time been expelling Chinese
settlers from Amur province. Two
hundred families have been driven out
of the country and in some instances
their houses have been burned. The
Chinese government has filed claims
for damages with Russia.

DEAD BURNED IN WRECKAGE
Unable to Escape, Many Are Slowly
Burned 20 Death.

Montreal. - Between twenty and
thirty persons lost their lives when the
supports of the sprinkler system tank
on the roof of the Herald building gave
way and the great mass of metal and
water, weighing thirty-fve tons, came
crashing to the basement.
Fire broke out Immediately, adding
its horrors to the disaster. Some of
the walls had to come down before the
work of recovering the bodies could
be safely attempted, and it was not ,un-
til after 6 o'clock in the evening that
the first body, charred and mangled
beyond recognition, was brought out.
All of those who escaped agree that
the first warning of the impending dis
aster passed almost unnoticed. There
was a slight creaking, then a little
more somewhat more pronounced, but
it was not until the ceiling plaster be-
gan to fall that a rush for the stairway
began. Before anyone reached it there
occurred a final d~eafening crash and
then chaos.

that a few speeches by the president
at the height of the campaign will
save the situation for the party.
