THE BROOKLYN THEATRE
FIRE.
The evenings bright stars they were
shining,
The moon it shown clear Ger our
land;
Our city was in peace and quiet,
The hour Of midnight near al
hand:
When bark! Do you hear that cry
"Firei"
How dismal those bells they do
sound,
The Brooklyn Theatre is burning:
Alas! Burning down to the
ground.
CHORUS.
We ne'er can forget 1.-THE Two Or
phans,"
Bad luck seemed to be in its wake;
It seems 1t was brought to our city
The lives Of our dear friends to
take.
The doors they were open at seven,
The curtain 1t went up at eight;
They that had seats were so happy,
Outside they were mad that were
late.
They play it went on very smoothly,
Till sparks from the scenes they
did fly.
Twas then that men, women and
children
"oh. God! save our lives" they
did cry.
Next morning among those black
ruins,
Oh, God what a sight met our
eyes.
The dead they were lying in an
shapes
Some there that none could recog-
nize.
Poor mothers there weeping and
signing
For children who were out all that
night;
Oh. Cod may their souls rest in
heaven
Among the innocent and bright
What means this large gathering of
people
Upon this cold wintry day.
What means this long line Of
hearses
All plumed in feathery array?
Far out to the cemetery called
Greenwood,
Where the winds make the lone
willow sigh
IT'S there that this funeral is GO
ing
The poor unknown dead there to
lie.

BY oNE-FlFTH

Washington, May THE greatest
crop of winter wheat ever grown, one
fifth again as large as the record crop
grown last year, and more than half
again as large as that harvested in
1912, is indicated by statistics AN
nounced by the department of agri-
culture today.
In'all $50 0,OOO,O 600 bushels will be pro
duced if the highly favorable condi-
tions existing between since the crop
was planted last fall continues until
harvest time. The aureage abandon
ed through unfavorable conditions of
the winter amounted to only 81 per
cent. This makes the area remaining
to be harvested a record one of S5.-
1887 900 acres.
Indications are that Kansas will
have a crop Of $4,000, 900 bushels, or

carranza Visits ParraI

Chihuahua, Mexico, May 7.-Gen
eral Carranza, head of the constitu
tionalist government, left here last
night for ParraG accompanied by his
staff, but the executive offices of the
constitutionalist government still re
main in Chihuahua. The visit to Par
raj is in connection with financial af-
fairs.
The constitutionalist mint, which is
turning out gold and silver coins, is
located at Parral, and General Car
rama is expected to settle questions
dealing with the Standardization of
the currency.
From Parral Carranza is expected
to go to Torreon, where the citizens
have eagerly requested his presence
since the city was captured by Ger-
eral Villa. 1t was intended that Car
rama should review the $4,000 troops
gathered at Torreon for the Saltillo
and San Luis Potosi campaigns, but
as they rapidly are being moved to-
ward Monterey 1t is probable that
this ceremony win not be a feature
of Carranza's visit.
Carranza is expected to return to
Chihuahua within week
On the Carranza train, which was
commanded by General Maclovia Her
rera, were Roberto V. Pesqiera, Car
ranza's confidential agent at El Paso;
Isidoro Fabela, acting minister of for
eign relations, and Ygnacio Bonillas,
minister OF communication.
According 20 prs paans.,ahe con.
stitutionalist provisional capital will
remain here until the capture Of Sal
tillo. Among those on the train was
General Manuel Chao. deposed as gov
ernor of the state of Chihuahua by
General Villa. 1t is said he will be
given a command in the army of the
northeast under General Pablo Con
zales. 1t is regarded as possible that
General Carranza may accompany the
army against Saltillo.

Washington, May president vii.
son found time in the midst of we'd
ding preliminary festivities at the
White House today to confer with Sec
ertary of State Bryan for a few min
utes on the Mexican crisis, with par
ticular reference to mediation.
Secretary Bryan announced after
the conference that American dele
gates to advise with the South Amer
iuan mediators had not yet been se-
lected, but that representative or
representatives surely would be des-
ignated, and the selection would be
made soon. Whether there would be
more than one American delegate is
still undecided, the secretary said.
1t was reported in diplomatic cir
cles that John W. Foster, former sec
retary of state, is being considered,
among others, to represent this coun-
try. Mr.. Foster was minister to Mex
leo in the late 70's.
The arrival in Washington of Mel
son O'Shaughnessy, charge of the en-
bassy at Mexico City during the most
turbulent part of the strained rela-
tions with Huerta's government,
aroused considerable speculation as to
the returned envoy's future status,-but
nothing concerning his future was
considered today. Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy saw Mr.. Bryan for few min
utes only, and will confer with him
again tomorrow. President Wilson
also will see Mr.. O'Shaughnessy to-
morrow.
Reports of continued aggression OF
the rebel forces toward Mexico CITY
reached the state department during
the day. News of rebel victories at
Acaponeta was confirmed in an Of
ficial dispatch. Conditions at Vera
Cruz were reported as quiet.
The I,atin-American mediators spent
much of their time completing ar
rangements for the conference to De
gin at Niagara Falls May IS. the
Argentine minister, Mr.. Naon, con-
ferred at the state department for a
short time, but no announcement was
made concerning his mission.
