Montreal, April 22. The little vil
lage of St. Genevieve is in mourning
tonight over the loss of 14 lives in a
fire which destroyed the convent of St.
Anne there early today. One nun,
nine children, ranging in age from 10
to 19, and four aged women, perished
in the flames. Two nuns were so se
verely burned that it is feared they
will die.
In their grief over the catastrophe,
the villagers find some comfort in relat
ing the heroism displayed by Sister
Marie Adiuteur, who gave up her life,
and Sister Marie Therese and. Marie
Eobertine, who were perhaps latally
burned in their efforts to save the lives
of the children and helpless old women
Bucket brigades were hurriedly form
d by the villagers, but the fire had
sained such headway that it was soon
Apparent that there was no chance
save the building from destruction.
Sister Ragettera, in her efforts to
save the lives of the children in her
charge, succumbed to the smoke and
flames. The pupils who perished were
jn a portion of the building where the
fire had obtained 'too much headway
before the alarm was given , to enable
those who responded to. effect their res
cue.
An effort was made to get Point
Claire by telephone so that assistance
could be. had from Montreal, - but for
some reason no response was received
irom Point Claire.
Tne hre started about midnight in
the old ladies' hospital, and the smoke
was so thick that the children on the
floor above were unable to get down.
The convent was called Ste. Anne's.

building was a gray stone structure

Naval experts here believe that the
third Pacific squadron of the Russian
navy, which is commanded by Admiral
Nebogatoff, has joined Rojestvensky,
and that the. latter now has eight first
class batlteships, three second-class
battleships, three armored cruisers and
a number of other vessels of not quite
so good a type. He is also believed to
have received large quantities of am
munition which had been shipped to
him some time ago, to have filled the
coal bunkers of his ships, and generally

It is believed here that Admiral Jon-

French Cochin China, agreed to get a
message to the Russian commander to

sians followed. Such action has been
expected, as the French authorities

WOULD MEAN AID OF ENGLAND would continue the cautious tactics
which has characterized his attacks on
the Port Arthur squadron, not because
he feared defeat, but owing to his de
sire to inflict the greatest amount of
damage on the Russians with the least
possible loss to himself.
While confident of his ability to ac
complish the total destruction of the'
Russian squadron in a big battle, there
is danger of Togo losing one or two 'of
his big ships. Therefore, Baron Hay-
ashi believes, Togo will employ his
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers, which number more than 100 and
are vastly superior to the Russian tor
pedo boat flotilla, in harassing the Rus
sians while gradually picking off the
Russian warships.
He said the coasts of Japan, Cores
and Formosa lend themselves to night
work with torpedo boats, while the
narrow channels will make the maneu
vering of large war ships difficult and
dangerous.

Seattle, Wash. .April 22. If the
Philippine commission attempts to en

Will -Make Good Deficit in Indemnity

New York, April 21. After two
years' discussion, the powers and China
will sign an agreement today, accord
ing to a Herald dispatch - from Pekin,
regarding the payment of the deficit in
the indemnity due to the fall in the
price of silver, and providing for the
future payment of the indemnity in
gold.
The agreement comprises three para
graphs, and briefly stated sets forth
that China is to pay 15 days after the
signature of the document the sum of
$6,000,000 and interest at 4 per cent
on this amount from January 1, 1905,
which sum is to be accepted in full
payments of all deficits due to the
change from silver to gold.
In the second paragraph China agrees
to sign immediately fractional gold

It is reported that an American and
a British squadron is in touch with the
Russians, watching for violations of

PARDEE NAMES THE DAYS.
Accused Examiners Who Gave Pen
sions to Carpet Soldiers.
Washington, April 20. Nine of the
ten pension examiners constituting the
board of review were separated from
the government .service today. ' Com
missioner of Pensions Warner trans
mitted the nine resignations to Secre
tary Hitchcock, with the recommenda
tion that they be accepted, and Mr
Hitchcock took the desired action with
out delay.
The resigned examiners assert that
representations were made to them,
purportinsg to come trom tne commis
sioner, that should they hand in their
resignations, the matter would be re
lieved and restorations would be made
at some date in the near future. Mr,
Warner, however, made no such repre
sentation to the secretary ot the . inter
ior. The difficulty involving the board
of review was its approval of several
pensions to applicants whose only
claim was enlistment in a Pennsylvania
and a New Jersey regiment of volun
teers for service in the Civil war, but
the services of whom were never
availed of by the government.

" Great Irrigation Project.
Surveys have been completed for
thirteen great Irrigation projects In as
many different States, contemplating
the reclamation of 1.131,000,000 acres
of desert land, at a cost of $31,395,000,
or afi average of $27.26 per acre. The
land thus Improved will be sold to the
public at that price In ten annual in
stallments, and thus the entire amount
of-money expended will be refunded to
the government. The President Is
greatly gratified at the rapid progress
that is being made by the irrigation
bureau. Contracts have been let and
thousands of laborers are already em
ployed In Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Ne
braska, Nevada and New Mexlo.
The law allows enough land to each
settler to support a family. . No cash
payments are required; no commuta
tions, but the settler must actually
five on it and cultivate it for five
years and pay $2.60, an acre each year
for ten years, when he will receive i
title to the land and own the water
rights without additional payments.
Private land which receives the ben
efit of the water must pay at the same
rate -$2.60 per acre for ten years.
After ten payments the owner of the
land will have the water rights free
of cost for all eternity. The land is
good for alfalfa, sugar beets, potatoes
and all the root crops and fruits of
the temperate zone. It is only twelve
hours from San Francisco by rail, fifty
miles from the capital of Nevada, and
is surrounded by mining settlements in
every direction.
Part of the land reclaimed will be
the old Forty-Mile Desert, or Carson's
Sink, which was a horror" of early em
igrants the worst' spot on the over
land trail; and was lined the entire
distance with the bones of men .and
animals. Thousands of poor creatures
died there from thirst and exhaustion.
Farmers who plow there now turn up
in almost every furrow gun barrels
which were driven into the earth to
mark graves and have since been
burled deep in the drifting sands. As
an illustration of the perversity of na
ture, the engineers who have been lay
ing out the proposed irrigation, system
have found an abundance of cold, pure
water a few feet below the surface
wherever they have made borings. All
of this desert will be redeemed, and
when the present proposition Is fin
ished the works will be extended to
the Humboldt and Walker rivers,
which will bring several hundred thou
sand acres more under irrigation and
make a paradise of what Is now' the
most desolate spot In Nevada.
How One County Was Redeemed.
Thirty-two years ago there was only
one house in the town of Fresno, in the
central desert of California, says a
writer In the World's Work. A hole
was dug under It, forty feet deep, into
which the inmates lowered themselves
by a bucket-and a windlass, to escape
the heat of the day. Around It, as
far as the eye could see, stretched the
glaring desert, unbroken by any culti
vated spot of green. The whole coun
try seemed a hopeless waste dead and
profitless.
To-day this spot is the center of a
cheerful community of 8,000 homes, in
a land made fertile by Irrigation. Ten
thousand children attend its public
schools. The -Industries there yield
$14,000,000 annually. The ralsm crop
of 1902 put Into the fanners bank
accounts $2,800,000.
All the raisins imported Into the
United States in 1902 amounted in
value to only $400,000. In 1902 the oil
wells of Fresno County yielded 070,-
000 barrels of crude petroleum, worth
$200,000 before refining. . Eighty-nine
thousand head of cattle graze on its
rich alfalfa.
When the few straggling fortune-
hunters came to the county late in the
60' s they were welcomed by this sign

to irrigate the land. His proposal was
laughed at as a dreamer's scheme. But
persistence won; in 1876 he" had water
on land within three miles of the town
of ' Fresno, and the first year's crop
proved the soil to be fertile.. The area

tended. To-day there are 360,000. acres

For a little South American dictator
CIpriano Castro, President of Venezue

world of International politics. In
many ways, writes-William Thorp in
the New York Tlmes,he Is a remark
able man. He first appeared in Cara
cas, the capital, several years ago as
a legislator. He was sent to Congress
as a deputy from the State of Los An
des, his native place. His fellow mule
teers and cattle smugglers elected
him, and at that time he knew prac
tically nothing of life outside of the
mountain village in which he was
born. Only one memory of his brief
career as a legislator is preserved. Day

Caracas, made himself President, and
suppressed a revolution almost before
he could manage to bobble around.
All the ministers slavishly Imitate
Castro in everything. He is not only
President, but Lord High Everything
Ellse in Venezuela. The heads of all
departments, the members 'of the Leg
islature, and even the judges are mere
ly his puppets.
Castro is supremely ignorant of the
affairs of other nations. He has never
seen but one battleship in his life up .
to the time of the International episode
of 1902 and he speaks with contempt
of the power of Germany, Great Brit
ain and other foreign nations.
Castro is very democratic. He never
surrounds himself with guards or se
cret service men, though he has ae
many deadly enemies as a Russian
grand dnke. But he always carries a
revolver In the top left-hand pocket of
his frock coat So far as is known,
only one attempt has been made to as
sassinate him. It was when he was
riding through the streets of Caracas,
soon after he became President The

bullet ..through the man's leg before
any of his suit realized what was hap

man in Venezuela to-day and there is
no one as yet in sight who is power

- Discovery of Peat Bathe.
The discovery of the value of peat
baths was made -accidentally many
years ago. On the coast of France
there lived at one time a poor family.
The father of the family eked out a
scanty living by killing aged rattle
and divesting them of their skins. The
ghastly remains he sold-to tanners and
refiners. ' " : v ' .
: Of the. three children which belong
ed to this couple one was a poor crea

ashamed of this boy that she- couldf
not bear to have the child in her sight
Consequently he spent most' of lila
time half clothed and badly fed, roll
ing about in the peat bogs which were
behind the cottage. Little by little it
was noticed that the child was Im

r The old country physician on one-of-
his rounds noticed the Improved
condition of the boy and mentioned
the fact and the 'cause at a medical
conference in Paris. The result was
the use of the peat bath, which leaves
far behind any other kind of hydro
therapies cure known to this day and
its success Is becoming greater each
season.
