“Harbor fortifications are being rapidly

Secretary Gardner of the Galveston Busi-.
ness League was in receipt of a letter from
Col. T. J. Anderson of the Southern Pacific
from Houston this morning ratifying the
action taken by his assistants that were
sent to Galveston to confer with the Busi-
ness League’s committee concerning the
northern settlers’ congress. Col. Anderson
also took occasion to mention the fact .that
he was sure Galveston would be the Mecca
for excursionists on the dates set for the
congress and assured the league that every
effort would be made by the Southern Pa-
cific to make the affair a grand success as
far as numbers went. Although the_author
of the plan for the congress, Col. Ander-
son was unable to be present at the con-
ference between the committee which he
named of railway men and the commitee
from the Business League. The letter re-
ceived this morning heartily indorses the
plans formulated by those committees and
expresses himself as well pleased that Gal-
veston was chosen as the place for holding
the congress.
Secretary Gardner, in. conversation with
a Tribune reporter, said:
“You know how much in favor of any
project of this kind I am. I want to get
people to Galveston at all times and in the
greatest numbers possible. This congress
looks to me as though dt would be the
biggest thing of its kind that has ever been
planned. Of course the more people that
we bring here the more it will cost the
city, but even then it will be wrorth the
money in my estimation. It is the aim to
bring a large number of newspaper men to
this city and that in itself will be an enor-
mous advertising scheme. But to bring all
of these other people, who w'ill tell their
friends all about the advantages of this
country, will be even better. .Very few
people even yet know what an endless
chain sort of business this matter is
planned to be. It is hard to tell without
having the person interested on the spot to
ask questions. I understand that there are
to be sent out some 30,000 invitations, but
of course these figures are-only estimated.
Printed matter on the subject of the con-
gress will be sent to every name that can
be secured by the committee in charge of
that part of the arrangements. Communi-
cations are already received at the Busi-
ness League office from people who want
their friends in the north notified of the
rates and plans for this big meet. In fact,
the congress will be a sort of enormous
family reunion. For it is the plan to get
as many relatives and friends of every
settler in Texas down here as possible.
“I want -every man in Galveston who
has relatives or friends in the north whom
he would like to have mailed printed mat-
ter concerning the congress sit down and
write me a letter, giving me the names and
addresses of such persons and telling me
who he is himself so that we could let his
friends know who is inviting them.
hoped in this way to reach more desirable
people than could otherwise be done.”

RAILWAY STRIKE NOT ENDED.

Warsaw, Feb. 25.—Contrary to expecta-
tions the Vienna railway strike is net
ended. Engineers and firemen and ma-
chanics employed in the machine shops
at Warsaw and Zeborow are dissatisfied
with the terms offered and have refused
to accept them. A crowd of strikers to-
day prevented resumption of train service
which had been arranged to commence at
noon.

Hot Springs,. Ark., Feb. 25.—This C-.y
was visited by a disastrous conflagration
early today, entailing by conservative es-
timate a loss of $1,000,000.
Three or more lives :are reported to have
been lost, but the identity of tne victims
cannot be learned at present.
The fire started at 3.30 o’clock this
morning inx the Grand Avenue hotel at
the corner of Central avenue and Chap-
pel streets in-the. southern part of the
city. A high wind was blowing and the
flames quietly .spread to the southwest.
The Plateau hotel, the Hotel Moody, the
Carnier flats and several lodging houses
were quickly destroyed.
The fire department rendered good ser-
vice until 6 o’clock, when the water pre-
ssure gave out and ..threatened the area
left to the mercy of the flames.
Duffle’s, general store, one of the largest
in the city, is a total loss.
About one hundred houses were de-
stroyed before the flames were checked.
The district between? Ouachita avenue
and Prospect street was swept by flames.
Over 2000 people are homeless. Fortu-
nately the cold weather has passed and
springlike temperature prevails.
The streets are filled with merchandise
taken from stores in the threatened dis-
trict.
The charred bodies of three women are
reported to have been found in the ruins
of the Grand Avenue hotel. The remains
are so badly burned as to make identifi-
cation difficult if not Impossible.
After the water pressure gave out buck-
et brigades were formed and hundreds of
citizens and visitors volunteered service.
At 9 o’clock the fire was still burning,
but it was pronounced to be under con-
trol.
The spring season .always attracts a
large number of visitors to this resort.
The city has been filling up with visitors
for several weeks and it is estimated that

Constantinople, Feb. 25.—Advices from
Batoum says that the prefect of police
and several leading merchants of that
city have been assassinated and a number
of Ottoman subjects have been murdered
by Georgian strikers. The porte has
drawn the attention of the Russian em-
bassy to the situation and the latter
promised necessary protection.
A revolutionary manifesto in favor of a
republic is being circulated broadcast at '
Batoum. The movement is not confined
to the city workers, but has many ad-
herents among the peasants and agri-
cultural classes, who claim the land own-’
ers are treating them as serfs. The
whole Caucasus is said to be seething with
disaffection. Armenians, Jews and peo-
ple of other nationalities and creeds are

save the county courthouse and jail, but
their efforts were of no avail, both struc-
tures being consumed. Many valuable
records were burned, and twenty prison-
ers in the jail were rescued with diffi-
culty.
In the South Hot Springs cottage dis-
trict, which was consumed, several per-
sons are missing, but it is not known
that any loss of life occurred there.
The Jewish synagogue, the Central
Methodist church and the residences of
Mayor Belding and Sheriff Williams were
completely destroyed.
The district occupied by the bath houses
and government observation on East Cen-
tral avenue escaped the flames.
Telephone street car service has sus-
pended and all public buildings have been
practically abandoned for the day.
The passenger depot of the Rock Island
system, although surrounded on all sides
by flames, escaped injury. The Little
Rock and Hot Springs Western passenger
station is also safe.
When the fire broke out at an early
hour this morning a general alarm wras
turned in. High winds soon fanned the
conflagration into a seething sheet
flame, wooden buildings directly in
path of the fire burning like tinder.
Guests of the leading hotels were awak-
ened and many donned their clothing and
looked after their valuables. The streets
were soon filled with people and hundreds
of visitors volunteered their services in
the effort to check the flames. Men,
women and children were seen running in
all directions, many of them carrying val-
uables and light household goods and
seeking places of safety.

The board of city commissioners met in
special session at 11 o’clock this morning
for the purpose of opening the bids for
furnishing oil for the city pumping sta-
tion and electric light plant, as explained
in the Tribune yesterday. Present were
all the members of the board and City
Secretary Kelley. Before getting down
to business the board Indulged in an in-
formal discussion on an interview pub-
lished this morning and purporting to
quote Mayor Austin on the grade raising
bonds. There were some very queer
statements charged to the mayor in which
he is made responsible for unusual financ-
ing. Mayor Austin defended himself,
however, and said that he admitted he
had been made to appear ridiculous in
a statement which he never made. He
explained, among other things, that he
made no reference to the 33 bonds and
that if he had he certainly would not
have made such a statement credited to
to him.
The meeting was then called to order
and City Secretary Kelley opened the
only two bids received for furnishing oil
to the city for terms of three and six
months. Strange as, it may seem both
bids were for the same price—50 cents

other was from the Higgens Oil Co. Under
the ruling the board mifst allow 24 hours
to elapse before awarding any contract
after opening bids and no action was
taken. No ath :pt was made to intro-
duce a rider nor was there any intima-
tion that the rivalry foiLthe city oil con-
tract is very spirited.
Under present conditions, with the
water works and electric light station
consuming between 700 and 800 barrels,
it will cost between $350 and $400 a month

when coal was used.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb 25.—Ice gorges in
the Ohio river in this vicinity, which were
the heaviest known for many years, be-
gan to give way druing the night. Sev-
eral breaks occurred at various points.
The final break is expected tonight,
Although the river rose several feet
during the night the ice is so heavy that
it soon caught again, forming new gorges.
Property damage to about $75,000 has
been caused by these early movements.
Tied up along the banks of the Ohio and
Licking rivers at this point are 25 steam-
ers, towboats and large wharfboats, val-
ued Conservatively at $700,000, and 52
barges. One-third of them are loaded,
and the value of the barges and their
loads aggregate $1,170,000. Besides this
more than 50 gasoline launches and other
pleasure boats, small wharf boats and
houseboats bring the total value of river
property which is menaced by the com-
bination of ice and low water to a figure
well above two million dollars.
For more than a month various crews
have been doing all in their power to
keep clear water around their boats so
that there may be some freedom for
paddle wheels and less danger of being
dragged away with the heavy ice might
be secured. ,
