EAST END FIRES.
Chimneys Ignite From Hearth
Fires. Damage Small.

Fires. Damage Small.
On Saturday afternoon about o'clock
fire was discovered in the cottage occu-
pied by Mrs. Wisong. The fire was caus-
ed by an overheated chimney, which
caused fire to burn between the studding
at the stairway. Mrs. Wisong discover
ed smoke issuing out of some crevises
up stairs and it was sometime before its
exact location was seen.
When she called Mr. Chas. c. Waters,
who was on the lawn. it looked as if it
was well ahead of bucket brigade, and
an alarm was turned in by telephone and
the fire company responded promptly,
making the half mile run in very quick
time, considering The fact that the hose
reels were taken from Town Hall instead
of the Lombard street station.
1t W: found on their arrival that Mr..
Waters and Mrs. Wisong, assisted by
Master Carroll Wisong and Miss Helen
Baxter, had the fire under control. The
plastering was torn off and water used
literally, thus preventing the flames from
spreading. The damage was within $25,
but, had it not been discovered so quick
ly, it could easily have destroyed the
cottage before aid could have been sum-
moned.
On Monday evening of this week Au-
rora Cottage chimney caught fire and
burned vigorously for about an hour,
causing Mr.. Waters and his family some
anxiety, but with the aid of hose attach
ed to the hydrant, the roof was kept well
sprinkled which prevented it catching
fire. The fire was caused by a too lib
eral use of wood in an open CRATE fire.

MORAN LOSES TO M FARLAND
CHICAGO LAD HAS IT ON ENG LlSHMAN FROM START TO
 FINISH.
Showed Superior in Every Round and Had Briton Groegy on Several
 Occasions.

New York, March IA 4-Packey Me Farland. the Chicago lightweight o,spointed owen Moran, claimant to the English lightweight championship at every stage of their ten round fign, before the Fairmount Club. tonight.
 It was clean hard fought battle throughout, in which the Chicago boy fully demonstrated his superiority Tn boxing over the Englishman. McFar land always was there with a clean punch and when Moran reached for him he found the Chicago lad most elusive
 Both fighters weighted in at 135 pounds at o'clock, but those at the ringside gave the Chicago man a slight advantage in weight when the fight started.
 Mcfarland depended for the great CT part on body blows, reaching Mo ran with right and left below the heart. At close quarters he had a distinct advantage over the English. man.
 Neither man suffered much from punishment until tae seventh when Mcfarland reached Moran with stiff body blows and sent him reeling twice across the ring to the ropes Following this with two rights to the jaw, he had Moran staggering and the crowd began to cheer the Chicago fighter. But Moran rallied and came back after more.
 Moran worked his side left swing for all there was in it and did hi: most eeffctive work after the manner of Knockout" Brown. Occasionally Mcfarland got in right to the head but for the most part he kept ham. mering at Moran's body, right and Jeff with vicious punches. Although out. classed, Moran put up a gcod fight and gave Mcfarland stiff go, but could not land.
 Mcfarland time and again jumped away from his punches with smile of assurance.

Hospital Corps Arrives.

Galveston, Tex, March 14.-Eighty Missouri mules arrived at Camp Crockett today. They are attached to the field hospital corps and ambu- lance train. No. 5, sent here from St. Louis to join the brigade commanded by Brig Gen. A. L. Mills. Among yes- terday's arrival were 5S more mules from Fort Totten, New York, being part of the equipment of the troops now en route here by transport from Hampton Roads.
 The field hospital will contain 103 beds. and there are five surgeons in the corps. The corps comes prepared for active service.
 Well. it looks like we would either remain here for some time or else move ahead" remarked one of the of- ficers of the regiment now here today. He judged from the extensive prepa- rations that were being made for service in the field that the soldiers now here would not return to their posts for some time.
 General Mills is not even attempt ing to speculate upon the probable move to be made by his brigade once it is organized He is just hustling things along so as to have his men ready for any service that may be required. Company and battalion drill for three hours daily is occupy ing the attention of the 1, 200 men on the ground. and Colonel Bailey is rap- idly whipping the men into shape.
 The transports are expected to ar rive Thursday. The scout cruiser Salem tried to pick them up by wire less today to learn what progress they were making, but was unable to do so. All preparations have been made for the decentralization of the troops. and for their transportation to Camp Crockett

WAR RUMORS
 IN THE EAST
RUSSIA TRANSPORTS oUANTi- TIES OF ARMS AND AMMUNI-
 TON TO CHINA.
Japanese WstchfuI Lest the czar Gain Added Advantages in china and Preparations for Conflict
 Are Rumored.

St. Petersburs, March 14.--The Novoe Vremya prints dispatch from Mukden, which states that ito tons Icf gunpowder. 42 boxes of cavalry rifles and 70 boxes of infantry rifles destined for Chinese garrl4ons in Northern Manchuria have reached Mukden from Pekin. Forty-one van leads of rifles and ammunition. the dispatch adds, have been sent from Kwang Chengtses 70 Kirin.
 Political circles take great interest in Japan's attitude towards the Riis- so- Chinese crisis. The recent speech at Tolio of H Ijuin. Japanese minis ter to China, in waich he declared for the integrity of China. Is commented Iupon in both capitals as possible warning to Russia that Japan is jeal- ous lest Russia gain too great ad- vantages as an outcome of the clash with China.
 Te'egrams from Harbin state that the Russian press in the Far East for weeks has been talking of Japanese preparations for war and declaring that their railways and roads are be- ing adapted to the transportation If troops The staff of the Chinese Railway and the employees generally have been replaced by Japanese and armed soldiers
 Huge barracks, it is asserted, are under construction at the principal stations and the Japanese commissar- fat is gathering reports of the qiian tity of grain held in private stores In Kwan Tung Province.
 Simultaneously. the Chinese vice. roy of Manchuria, addressed a secret project to the throne regarding Man churia and proposing the gradual lim- itation of the rights Of foreigners, a dimirution of ,garrisons. the exciu- sion of gunboats from the Sungari and Yalu rivers and the increasing of the Chinese garrison to 100000 men at an estimated annual cost of $i0,00O,000.
 An evening paper confirms the re- port that M. Kokoysoff opposed the recent policy of the foreign office to- wards China and succeeded in de- ferring the military demonstration which M. Sazonoff had intended should accompany the first ultimatum.

Former Peace Talk.

Mexico City, March 14.--An open letter by Ernesto Madero, uncle cf the revolution director made public here today parporA to give inside facts relating to the recent so-called peace conference at Corpus Christi, where in participated emissaries who were alleged to have been sent by President Diaz. Tie letter says plain y that the government had no inter- est whateser in the conference, but that it was purely a personal affair of the Madero family, and that it was Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, reyolu- tionary agent at Washington, who clothed the participants with an off cial character, which they did nol claim. The writer states that there were present at the conference Rafael l.. Hernandez. an attorney; his broth CT, iEvaristo Madero Hernandez, and himself on the one hand, and Alfonso Madero and Francisco Madero. Sr., on the other
 The purpose of the first group in calling the meeting was "a patriotic sentiment" and a desire Ito do all we could to bring an end to the grave damages accustomed to our country oy the contention amongst brothers now existing in Chihuahua"
 "Messrs. Alfonso Madero and Fran cisco Madero. Sr., who came all the way from New York, to be present at he interview the letter continues,
 showed their best disposition to use their influence with the directors yi the revolution to secure at once a cessation of hostilties, surrendering their arms and requesting a general amnesty. but unfortunately Dr. Fran cisco Vasquez Gomez. being in Wash lngton. refused to attend the meet ing, pretending to clothe us with an official character which we did moi possess or in any way claim, and try. ing at the same time to mix in tiis

MORE TROOPS
 ON BORDER
PLANS TO INCREASE PATROL OF U. s. SOLDIERS ON THE RIO
 GRANDE.
Reorganization of Entire Army on New Scale is Being Planned Hospital Corps Arrives
 at the Front.

Washington, March 1.-The present patrol of the Mexican frontier will be increased in a few days by several troops of cavalry from the mounted forces now being assembled in the southern border states.
 It is announced at the war depart ment that the increase will amount to six or seven troops of cavalry, who will be added to the patrol of the Rio Grande in order to prevent the snug gling of the ammunitions of war 10 the Mexican revolutionists.
 In making this announcement off cials of the war department say that none the infantry regiments now mobilized at San Antonio, Galveston and San Diego will be dispatched to the border
 The increase in the patrol of the Mexican border line will be made at the request of Brigadier General Dun tdi, cOnliHd4luer Ol bnt Depaftmenl OI Texas.
 Previous to the receipt of this re- quest the department had not in tended to augment the southern ps- trol. There are already stretched along the frontier three regiments If cavalry, one regiment of infantry and two companies of the signal corps
 Because of the great extent of the boundary line, more than 1,500 miles in length, the patrol of the frontier is mammoth task. Constant reports are reaching Washington of the smuggling of arms and ammunition across the river, and il is the inten- tion of the American government 10 stop this practice That part of the boundary in the southwest, which is marked by an arbitrary line, is re- garded as adequately patrolled at the present time.

RAILROAD REGULATION. Roads Want States to Keen Hands
 Off Rate Problem

Chicago, March IA -"Western rail- roads are for the Interstate Com merce Commission and it's control of railroads and their rates. but they believe the commission should have as a member practical railroad man. They believe state legislatures should keep their hands off, and they would like the shippers to meet with them in friendly effect to aid the commits sion in doing it's work"
 This was the statement today be- fore the Chicago traffic club by Will liam Ellis, commerce counsel of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail road
 Mir Ellis said railroad regulation, once feared, was not considered a necessity by the railroads, but assert ed that great injustice was being done both shippers and carriers by the al- legged interference by state legisla- lures with the commissions work.

Chinese Situation Grave.

Pekin, March 14.-Tne Russian min lster, M. Korostoyetz, delivered Rus- sia's ultimatum to the Chinese for eign board this morning. It caused much surprise among the officials. who seemed not to realize the gravity of the matter
 M. Korostovetz last week for the second time requested permission on behalf of his government to establish observation stations along the Amur and elsewhere on yhe frontier. He desired also to place doctors and police in Chinese border towns for the purpose of effectively quarantining the frontier.
 China viewed this measure ts an infringement on her integrity and the Russian minister was notified that & reply would be given today. In the meantime. NJ. Korostovetz was re- guested to obtain further explanations from St. Petersburg. regarding the nature of the proposals, whereupon the Russian government evidently de- cided that there was no further use If parleying.
 It is expected here that the Rus sians will now settle many outstand- ing matters. including the plague quarantine. the disputed frontier, the protection of the railway from Hung. 'ze-Iiu. as well as trade. consular and other differences in connection with the treaty of 1SSi
 It is pointed out that for many weeks the press throughout Asiatic Russia has been supporting the desire of the military for the annexiion of Mongolia and Northern Manchuria, but the Chinese foreign board does not anticipate serious invasion. Some of the Chinese express the hope that the UnitedeStates will interfere and propose arbitration. but foreign residents do net belitNs that the

the United States and of alarm and distrust in Mexico caused by the dis patch of 20.000 American troops to the frontier, there began on the one side a series of formal diplomatic ex- changes between the two powers and on the other a series of carefully weighed interviews and authorized publications in the daily press. Un- derneath this current ran a deeper tide of sympathy between countrymen who might be at odds, but were still countrymen. intervention means war. Senor Limantour said.
 'Intervention?" echoed Dr F. Vas Quez Gomez. the insnrrecto agent at Washington, who has been here for the last three days, "the moment there is intervention there will cease to be an instruction. Both sides will make common cause against, com mon enemy
 In short, it became plain that two streams of tendency were flowing co i a junction. On the one hand there was a disposition on the part of the insurrectos to open negotiations with the representatives of the Mexican administration here: on the other there was a growing understanding between the Mexican government and the United States. Virtually Senor Li- mantour IS willing to have it under stood that if the United States will take care of smuggling his govern ment will take care of the insurrec- ton.
 The belief grows here among those closely in touch with both camps that some understanding will be reached. It was pointed out that if Francisco Madero, Sr., has already seen Senor Limontour once, he is likely to find means of keeping in touch with him as the situation may demand. The Maderos are considered the wealth and brains of the revolution. They are not in sympathy with the socialist movement in Southern California. "If those fellows win" Gustavo Ma dero said today, we shall have to | fight them.'
 If then, the Maderos nave been won over by satisfactory assurances on one hand and the threat of the United States intervention on the oth- CT, 1t is believed the backbone of the linsnrrection would be broken
