Following is a special from Tokio: The situation is growing extremely critical, and it is believed that the chances for war are greater than ever before. Peace hinges on the character of Russia's response. If the Russian reply is unsatisfactory, it is almost certain that Japan will fight immediately. If Russia desires peace her position will be difficult to maintain, for the Japanese are distrustful of her promises. If Russia's response is delayed for a week, it is expected that Japan will demand an immediate answer. The announcement that Russia is seeking naval stations in Korea, buying stores in America and buying coal in Japan has increased the war spirit of the Japanese nation. Influential papers are urging the government to promptly dispatch a fleet to guard the Korean coast and patrol the Korean channel. The ministers of war and navy, their general advisory staffs and commanders are conferring daily. Full plans for the campaign of the army and navy have been prepared and the scheme of land and water transportation completed.

Two of these doorways are at the end of the Lalcony, and one being in the center. The audience. In its rush for,, the outer air, seems to have chosen, for the greater part, to flee to the left entrance and to attempt to make Its way down the eastern stairway leading Into the lobby of the theatre'. Outside of the people burned and suffocated by gas, it was in these two doorways on the first and second balconies that the greatest loss of life occurred When the firemen entered the building the dead were found stretched in a pile reaching from the head of the stairway at least eight feet from the door, hack to a point about five feet in the rear of the door. This mass of dead bodies in the center of the doorway reached to within two feet of the top of the passageway. All of the corpses at this point were women and children. In the first and second balconies bodies were piled up in the aisles three and four deep, where one had fallen and others tripped over the prostrate forms All had died where they lay, evidently suffocated by gas. Others were bent over backs of seats where they had been thrown by the rush of people for the doors and killed with hardly a chance to rise from their seats. One man was found with his back bent nearly double, his spinal column having been fractured as he was A woman was thrown backward. found cut nearly In half by the back of the seat, she having been forced over it face downward. In the aisles nearest the doors the scenes were harrowing In the extreme. Bodies lay In every conceivable attitude, half naked, the look on the'r faces revealing some portion of the agony which must have preceded their death. There were scores and scores of people whose entire faces had been trampled completely off by the heels of those who rushed over them, and In one aisle the body of a man was found with not a vestige of colthing, flesh or bone remaining above his waistline. The entire upper portion of his body had been cut into mincemeat and carried away by the feet of those who trampled on him. A search was made carefully with the hops of finding his head, but at a late hour tonight It had not been discovered, and all that will ever tell his friends who he was Is the color and appearance of the clothing on the lower limbs, and this Is in such a condition as to be hardly recognizable. About a score of people In the second balcony were saved by firemen who took them through the roof and carried them down ladders in the rear of the building. Two bodies tightly locked in each other's arms, young women aparently about 25 years of age, were found In one end of the orchestra pit They must have fallen there from the balcony above. The body of a dark haired girl, apparently 12 years of age, was found impaled on the Iron railing of the first balcony, she evident'y having been thrown over from the second balcony above. Wtifc all its clothing torn from it, but a pair of baby shoes, the body of a child about one year old was found in a far corner of the second balcony. It had evidently been knocked from burst. its mothers arms and was trampled Will J.

Estimates of tee dead and injured vary. The ptlice count of dead Is 536. 7 he es'imale of the newspapers is 562. Eighty-sof the dead have been positively idenothers are tified, and ninety-tw. known to be injured. A few of these people were burned to death by fire, many were suffocated by gas, and scores were trampled to death in the panic that followed the mad plunge of the frightened audience for the exits. There are bodies lying by dozens in the undertaking rooms, in the police station and In the hospitals, from which nearly everything that could reveal their identity to those who knew them best is gone. Their clothing is torn to rags or burned to cinders, and their faces have been mashed into an unrecognizable pulp by the hools of the crowd that trampled them down as they fled for safety. The fire broke out during the second act of the play "Mr. Bluebeard, which was the first dramatic production produced in the theatre since its erection. The company, which was very large, escaped to the street in safety, nearly all of the members, however, being compelled to flee into the snowy streets with no clothing but their stage costumes. A few members of the company sustained minor Injuries, but none was seriously hurt. The accounts of the origin of the fire are conflicting, and none of them certain, but the best reason given is that an electric wire on the lower part of a piece of drop scenery suddenly broke and was grounded. The fire spread rapidly toward the front of the stage, causing the members of the chorus, who were then engaged in the performance, to flee to the wings with screams of terror. The fire in itself up to this time was not serious, and possibly could have been checked bad sot the asbestos curtain failed to work. As soon as the fire was discovered, Eddie Foy, the chief comedian of the company, shouted to lower the curtain and this was Immediately attempted. It descended about half way and then stuck. The fire thus was given practically a flue, through which a strong draft was setting, aided by the doors wbich bad ben thrown open in the front of the theatre. With & roar and bound the flames shot through the opening over the heads of the people on the first floor, and, reaching clear up to those in the first balcony, caught them and burned them to death where they sat. Immediately following this rush of flames there came an explosion, which lifted the entire roof of the theatre from its walls, shattering the great skylight into fragments. As soon as the flames first appeared beyond the curtain a man in the rear of the hall shouted Fire! Fire! and the entire audience rose as one person and made for the doors. It Is believed that the explosion was caused by the flames coming in contact with the gas reservoirs of the theatre, causing them to saet o and had not been excited by the cry Architect Who Designed Theater Will of fire, not a single life would have Never Use Wood In Such Structure. been lost A Pittsburg special says: Benjamin This, however, is contradicted by H.

As near as can be estimated at the present time, about 1,300 people were in the theatre. Three hundred of these were on the first floor, the remainder being in the balconies and in the hallways back of them. The theatre is modeled after the Opera Comlque in Paris, and from the rear of each balcony there are three doors leading out to passageways to- - declared, reading bulletins which were banded to him. "The Iroquois was built along the very latest lines and was provided with twenty-sevedouble fire exits, but wood was used and stairways were employed. A fireproof building will not be erected as long as wood is used. In a theatre there are so many articles of inflammable material that when a blaze once gets headway it spreads in the most alarming manner. Trains Without Tracks. Had Trunk of Silver. A trunk belonging to W. B. Lockett, under arrest at Leavenworth, Kans, and containing ten pounds of melted silver, was found in his room on a farm north of Atchison. The pokce are certain that Lockett had confederates and that they have operated extensively in this section. The police hold receipts, said to have come from Lockett, which give the formula for making gold and silver coins. Ths silver dollars taken from Lockett were splendid imitations. Paris witnessed on Wednesday the successful operation of a trackless train. Upon the conclusion of the test the train stopped at the Elysee palace and the Inventors received the felicitations of President Loubet. The train was composed a motor carriage, similar to an ordinary automobile, and five cars. The discovery consists in the transmission of sufficient power from the carriages to move each car. It was found that all the cars tracked exactly with the motor. Radium as a Cancer Cure. Radium is reported to have removed a cancer which had spread over the entire right cheek of William Hoffman, 62 years old, of Newark, N. Y. When he came to New York for treatment several specialists expressed the belief that the growth could be removed only by cutting away nearly all the flesh on one side of his head. For forty minutes after the radium was placed in the patients mouth, he suffered intense pain, after which relief was obtained and in six cure perfected. weeks n Idleness is Vagrancy.
