fears for the safety of the residents
there is felt.
Dynamite Is Employed.
An attempt made '.ast night to dy-
namite the government levee at Pine
Bluff and which faijed would have
diverted the course of the Arkansas
river many miles from the site of
the town.
A small dam was blown out last
flight near Grady to release the
flood. Officials are investigating
the attempts on the Pine Bluff re-
vetments. With th.e water slowly
rolling into the lowor reaches of the
Arkansas the suffering in the
flooded areas is becoming intense.
Hundreds of persons driven from
their homes by the water thinly
clad and unused to the extreme cold
weather that has prevailed during
the last week are paying toll to
•water and weather. Relief work can
proceed only slowly as few of the
facilities exist to provide succor and
the towns in the flood area virtually
are isolated.

All buildings on the state's penal

SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 4.—Rail-
ads are continuing their efforts to
e'ear away the snow that has for the
past three day? held up traffic in
many parts of the mountain regions.
Rotary plows are making good head-
way against the drifts and it is
thought that most of the tracks will
be cleared today.
Portland and eastern Oregon are
still in the grip of the cold wave
but the sleet and snow have ceased
and it is thought nn further damage
will be caused. It is estimated that
the storm caused more than $500-
000 damage in Oregon.
Street car service has been re-
sumed in most of the cities of the
northwest today resulting in great-
ly improved business conditions. Se-
attle schools will not reopen until

GOVERN Ml
United States to Hold Conten-
tion of Germany That Ship
Is Prize. Correct.

If Teutons Are Compelled to
Leave Port They Will Sink
Vessel. They Say.
WASHINGTON D. C. Feb. 4.—
j Secretary Lansing indicated today
J that the United States had decided
. to hold that the Prussian-American
treaty governs the case of the Ap-
-1 pam as Germany contends and that
all that remained to be decided was
the interpretation of the application
। of the treaty’s terms.
The secretary disclosed further
that the sole question to be decided
I was how long the Appam should re-
। main in American waters. The
i tieaty guarantees to a German prize
i the right to come and go freely. If
th* Appam were forced tn depart
German officials have stated the
ship would be sunk to prevent her
recapture by the British.
Germany is expected to contend
| that the treaty guarantees the Ap-
pam the right to remain safe In
Hampton Roads until the case goes
i before a prize court for adjudlca- •
tion. Technically the ship does not i
i become Germany’s prize until such I
a court establishes the validity of
I her capture. ;
i Sir Cecil Spring-Rice the British I
I ambassador. today presented a.
formal demand <»n behalf of his gov-
ernment. for the return to British I
owners of the liner Appam taken
I bv a Gorman prize crew. A new
diplomatic controversy with England |
j is foreshadowed as the United States
has practically decided to declare
the ship a German prize.
WANTED A POT OF TEA.
Lady Meriwether's First Request
Was for “Rations.”
NEWPORT NEWS Va. Feb. 4 --1
A pot of good tea was the desire'
closest to the heart of Lady Meri-
wether. the first woman passenger)
! to come ashore last night from the
1 Appam. She got it quickly too. and j
between sips and bites of crisp
j toast —“rations” —she called it — i
1 sho told how the women prisoners l
1 on the Appam accepted their nine- j
teen days imprisonment philoso-
1 phically.
“The women got the most to cat
aboard the Appam.” she said “be-
cause cigarettes and matches were
at a premium and it was possible for
us to trade our pro rata of them for
f( od. <>ur only constan* fear was
that the bombs with which the ship"
. was planted would explode.”
Engineer Has Unusual Story.
Among the stories told by the
| British sailors that of the engineer
W. J. Gow. of the steamship Drom-
onby is one of the most interesting.
He says he has been nn three ships
sunk by the Germans was a pas-
* senger on another which barely es-
; caped two submarines and his home
at Hartlepool England was shelled
by a German fleet early In the war
' and a Zeppelin bomb fell a compar-
i atively short distance from his resi-
dence in a recent air raid.

small prize crew remained today I

steamer Appam brought into these।

prize of war. The liner’s passengers

PRESIDENT IN WASHINGTON.
Mr. Wilson Returns to Capital But
Is Non-committal.
Washington d. c.. Feb. 4.—
President Wilson returned to the
capital from his western speaking
trip shortly after 1 o’clock this aft-
ernoon. He went at once t/j the
White House.
The president read the Berlin dis-
patches on the Lusitania situation
while his train was running between
Baltimore and Washington. He made
no comment but members of his
party said they regarded the situa-
tion as “unfavorable.” it was said
today that the president had n>t
finished considering the official dis-
patches he received last night on his
train.
In the absence of official In-
formation Secretary Lansing today
refused to discuss any phase what-
ever of the Lusitania negotiations.
It .appeared at the State Depart-
ment however that if .dficials re-
gard the situation as seriously as it
is reflected in Berlin dispatches it
Was not permitted to appear on the
surface. Something definite may
take form after President Wilson re-
turns to the capital this afternoon.
(.‘•rn any May Not Umlorstand.
Tn official and diplomatic circles
the impression prevailed that (he
< ontroversy now had come to hinge
cn whether the United States de-
mands that Germany acknowledge
the sinking of the Lusitania as an
illegal act. or whether it demands
that the destruction of the neutrals
vho were aboard be acknowledged
nr illegal. There was some specu-
lation on whether that point had
been fully understood in Berlin.
Secretary Lansing and Count von
Bernstorff the German ambassa-
dor. will confer on the Lusitania
negotiations late today. The con-
ference was arranged at the Ger-
man ambassador’s request.
Dispatches on the Lusitania sit-
uation from CnJonej E. M. House
now on a special mission in Europe
for President Wilson are believed To
have been delivered to the president
on his *iperlnl train.
Colonel House discussed the sit-
uation with high German officials
informing them of the position of
the United States and receiving in
Hirn first hand information of their
viewpoint. Details were not dis-.
closed in such dispatches as have
been received here but they report-
ed Colonel House found it unnec-
essary to remain in Berlin as long as
he originally had intended.
It is said Colonel House probably
discussed other subjects than tho
Lusitania case with the German of-
flcials but that the Lusitania situa-
tion occupied the major portion of
I is dispatch to the president.
Not .V'tTpte^l Exa<*l Wording.
The semi-official statement of the
foreign office forwarded to this
। ountry that there was “reasonable”
hope that a communication which
had been started to Count von
Bernstorff would prove satisfactory
to the United States is taken in of-
fwlai and diplomatic quarters to
mean that Germany has not accept-
pd the tentative form of proposal
exactly as it was submitted.
The opinion ami hope was ex-
pressed l»y diplomats in a position
to be familiar with the status of
the negotiations that the cardinal
pojftts s'lt forth in the tentative
form approved by Secretary Lansing
remained. It was said here there are
certain words which tho Berlin of-
ficials declared could not be includ-
ed in tho final settlement of the
<¥»ntro\ersy because of concern for
German public opinion. 1t was
thought certain that this phase had
been explained t<» Colonel House and
that he in turn has conveyed the
explanation to the ^resident.
I'T'ordom of the Sea* 1 .
It was said that the language
in the tentative formal proposal
submitted to Secretary Lansing last
week in regard to Germany’s ex-
pressed hope that the United States
do everything possible toward secur-
ing freedom of the seas had been
revised considerably because It was
considered that the words used
might have conveyed tho impression
that Germany was making that

CANADAS PARLIAMENT
BUILDING IS BURNED
(Continued From Page One.)
ment arrived the building was
doomed.
The tall central tower of the Par-
liament building fell at 1:30 a. ni.
and about at the same time three of
the firemen were crushed beneath
the falling roof of one of the win-
dows. By 3 o'clock the flames were
rolling through the Senate building
but the firemen believed the library
would be saved.
The Parliament building included
a central building with two wings in
all 470 feet in length with a tower
220 feet high and library building
in the rear. Many valuable sculp-
tures paintings and decorations
adorned its rooms and corridors. Tho
building was erected of cream col-
ored sandstone on a bluff rising 150
feet above the Ottawa river.
They wore erected from 1859 to
1865 and the cornerstone was laid
Ibv the then Prince of Wales later
I King Edward VII in 1860. The cost
of construction was $5000000 and
several wings have since been added.
The style of architecture was twelfth
< ontur’y Gothic and the Parliament
building was said to be one of the
finest examples of Gothic architec-
ture on the continent.
To the rear of the central building
was the library of Parliament a
domed structure. Stone carvings and
paintings of prominent Canadians
embellished the halls and corridors.
The library contained more than
200000 volumes.
One of the first men to make his
way out of the chamber was Colonel
John Currie who commanded the
i’ourth regiment of the Canadian
First division through the battle of
Saint Julien where he was over-
come with asphyxiating gas.
Currie lam! Firemen.
Colonel Currie at once organized
into a fire brigade members of the
House telegraph operators and po-
lice attendants who manned several
lines of emergency hose.
They played streams on the flames
but without apparent effect and
soon were driven hack by the terri-
fic heat.

leaped safely into the net.
When firemen reached the speak-
er’s rooms they found Mme. Bray
and Mme. Morin unconscious. They
were taken from the building and
physicians applied pulmotors in vain.
.\fter t-. half hour the women were
pre nounced dead.
The Hames from the burning Par-
liament building were seen two miles
awav at Rideau hall the residence
of the Duke of Connaught governor
general of Canada. The duke sum-
moned his houseliold aides all of
whom are wounded officers invalided
from the front and they motored
swiftly into the city but were una-
ble to gixv any assistance.
The jj vprnor general sat In his
closed car and watched the destruc-
tion of the historic building.
House Was in Session
A hen Speaker Sevigny took the
chair and opened the session of the
House at ; o’clock only about fifty
members xvere in their seats. A dis-
cussion relating to fisheries was pro-
ceeding when a messenger rushed
Into the roern shouting:
"Fire !lt<n for your lives!”
The members xvere driven back
by smoKe and flames when they
sought an exit through the two main
doors. Spectators In the gallery panic
stricken stampeded for the exits at
the same time.
Minister of Agriculture Burrell was
overcome as he made his way
through the thickest of the smoke
and fell just in front of the post-
office. He was picked up by Robert
Rogers minister of public works;
Jop Ried minister of customs and
Pierre Blondon. secretary of state.
It xvas found that while his injuries
xvere serious he will recover.
Dr. Clark xvas burned xvhile at-

GRIMSBY. Feb. 4.—Skipper Wil-

phen who has arrived here reports
that early Wednesday morning in
the North Sea he saw the Zeppelin
L-19 dY her* envelope sub-
merged. He noticed from seventeen
to twenty member of the crew cling-

be taken off but as the men on the
Zeppelin outnumbered the trawler's
crew the skipper declined to accede

straight into Grimsby and reported
the matter to the admiralty authori-
ties.
According to a story current last
night which however cannot yet be
confirmed all the crew of the Zeppe-
lin xvere drowned.
The captain of a French vessel ar-
riving at Hull reported having seen
the wreck of a Zeppelin in the North
