On Arrival With Stanford Remains President Jordan Repeat* Assertion. Corps Commander. Brockton, Mass., March 22.—Fiftyfive persona are known to have been killed by .Monday's shoe factory catastrophe. That the number of dead will grow is almost certain, as the surgeons believe several bodies were reduced to ashes. The books containing the names of employees are still in the vault, and the total loss of life cannot be definitely ascertained until eoch name has been checked off. Up to this time 255 of the employees of the factory are accounted for. Palo Alto, (Jal., March 22.—The special train bearing the body of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford and the relatives and university representatives from San Francisco reached here on time. The body wan quietly transferred to a hearse, which led the procession of eight carriages to the Stanford residence on the university campus. The body will lie in state until the funeral services on Friday. St. Petersburg, Marcli 22.—No more dramatic Situation has flashed itself upon official Huh si a than the announcement Just niarte that General Kuropatkin had assumed command, of the First army corps. This makes the ait nation unparalleled in lyiy war. Years ago, in the Amur district, Geneva! Linevitch, now commander of the Manehurian armies, and Kuropatkin IxK-anie personal enemies. Both had the same rank. The St. Petersburg court made Kuropatkin commander in chief in that district, and in the troubles that followed Linevitch sent in a challenge to light a duel. Kuropatkin declined on the ground that Linevitch was an inferior officer. Not Satisl i With Commis- Over 5000 Homeless—Loss American Claims Must Take Government Building Burn- More Than $500,000.

The list of missing kept by the authorities number forty-five, or four more than the number of the unidentified. It is probable, therefore, that the total death list will reach fifty-nine or more. The search for more .todies lias been abandoned, it being thought that the ruins have given up all its dead. Great Interest. dow—Injured Six. l'lttsburg, March 21.—With the rivers far beyond the flood stage, rain has been falling incessantly all over western Pennsylvania and eastern West Virginia for the past twenty-four hours, and Pittsburg Is menaced by serious disaster. Washington. March 22. —. Minister Bowen has cabled the state department from Caracas, Venezuela, that he has served notice on President Castro that his arrangement to validate $28,000,000 worth «f revolutionary bonds held by British and German financiers and provide for their payment must not take precedence over pending American claims. Washington, March 22.—The Kansas protest against the appointment of Commissioner Garfield to investigate the oil situation there is assuming large proportions. The action taken by the Kansas Senate in passing a resolution protesting against Garfield's appointment on the ground of unfitness for tbo place has been supplemented by resolutions adopted by the executive committee of the Kansas Oil Producers association. When the Mauehurian war came to a point after the assault upon Port Arthur. Viceroy Alexeleff made CJeneral Linevitch commander of all the soldiers south of Harbin. Then the bureaucracy, always at work, decided that tieneral Kuropatkin should become commander in chief both of the army and the navy, had Alexeleff recalled and Linevitch reduced to a division commander. This was the situation when Kuropatkin went east last February to take command of the Hussian divisions against the soldiers of St. Petersburg, March 22. — Recurrences and extensions of agrarian troubles a*e noted, and near Libau workmen and peasants are making common cause. The Caucasus is already the scene of armed resistance to the forced of civil authority, and in the region around Kiev, where the peasants are increasingly bold, there have been many cases of violence. President Jordan reiterated his previous statement that he was firmly of the opinion that Mrs. Stanford's death was due to natural causes and not to the effects of poison. He said that two or three hours before Mrs. Stanford took the bicarbonate of soda on the night of her death Miss Berner had taken a dose from the same bottle and no harm had resulted. This fact was not brought out at the inquest, presumably because Miss Berner had not been closely questioned. He was so strongly convinced that Mrs. Stanford was not poisoned that the opinions of a dozen doctors would not shake his belief. Medical Kxaininer I'alne said that he did not believe that further identification of tlie charred bodies at the morgue was probable. Every body which had on it any trinket or piece of clothing has been more or less positively identified. Bodies which have been placed in boxes and marked "unknown" are in such a state that there is no possibility of their being recognized.A general alarm lias been sent out by the weather bureau that a stage of at least thirty-one feet will positively lie reached today, and Forecaster Frank ltidgeway is of the opinion that the rivers will reach thirty-live feet, thereby break'"H all previous records. In 1884 the fivers reached thirty-three l'eet nine inches, rendering 10,t N people homeless and causing a property loss of over ?4,000,000., At the same time Mr. Bowen demauded a prompt reply to his proposal. first submitted several months ago, that the disputed American claims, including the asphalt controversy, be submitted to arbitration. The oil producers, not content with passing resolutions, have sent to President Roosevelt a telegram, In which they deny the ability or inclination of Garfield to investigate the question fully and urge the President to direct the investigation personally. A newspaper in the Caucasus gives details of the burning of the minimistfutlve buildings recently In several towns iu the Scliaropan district and of an agrarian riot 011 tbe estate of Princess Murat at Iteka, in tbe Zugdiu disfrict, at which tbe police were obliged to fire on tbe rioters, many of tbe latter being wounded. Lineviteh at that time commanded the army of the Yalu river and was in charge of the divisions which retreated northwest against Kuroki's soldiers. He was sent southward to defend Ilaiclieug and participated in all the battles leading to the capture of Llaoyang. Afterward he was transferred by Kuropntkin to'the left division of the army and fought Kuroki for seven days in the battle of the Shakhe. Twice in (hat period he turned the flanks of the Japanese commander, but failed lo win victory because he lacked reserve troops. In all these battles he commanded the First army corps and Knropatkin was commander in Japan It is stated at the state department that Mr. Bow-en's note was not an ultimatum and tllat the situation as It stands at present is not regarded as serious. It Is thought that the President will be obliged to stand by his commissioner. To take such action as the Kansas senate demanded, it is held, or even the action requested by the oil producers, would be a public acknowledgement of the correctness of the charges of incompetency and insincerity, in which case it wou I difficult for the President to Mr. Garfield in office as Commissioner of Corporations. Mayor Keith reports that be has received $3,."»00 for the relief of families made destitute by the mill disaster. This included $1,000 from tbe R.

Part of City Submerged, Hundreds of families are beiug cared for by the police and charity departments, having been driven from their homes by the waters. In the lower sections of l'lttsburg and Allegheny all the houses are surrounded, many of them having water In the second story.

Miss Berner absolutely declined to discuss the case. The maid, Miss Hunt, was equally reticent.' No Coercive Measures Now, Tbe labor leaders of the social revo lutionistic persuasion in the great industrial centers are plainly plauulng to synchronize a general renewal of the strike with the climax of the present disorders and, with tbe action of the troops iu mind, have been serving notice by anonymous letters and other warnings on guard officers here and officials iu otber cities that if another What the next step may be in case President Castro refuses to yield to Mr. Bowen's reiterated demand foi arbitration has not been determined but President Itooscvelt is not now considering the application of coercive MRS.

The board of aldermen made inquiries as to why a city order to have all cars equipped with fenders was not complied with.

The mayor was further instructed to cause the arrest of any person who attempted to run cars not equipped with a fender. Mayor Ties Up Sheboygan Trolleys, New York. March 22.—Without a hitch the Hyde plan for the gradual mutuallzatlon of the Equitable Life Assurance society was adopted by unanimous vote at a special meeting of the directors in the Equitable building. This vote gives to the policy holders the selection of twenty-eight of the tifty-two directors, leaving the other twenty-four to be named by the stockholders.Mutualization, Every hook and ladder company in the city that can be spared lias been hurried to the flooded districts, where the trucks are being used by police and Itremen to assist in the rescue of householders."It is up to Assistaut Secretary of State Loomis to vindicate me with the government on behalf of tbe republic of Santo Domingo, lie can substantiate my story in every particular, and In tbe absence of Secretary Hay be will be required to do so.

The 'Moscow assembly of zemstvos is forcing the hand of Interior Minister Bouligan in regard to the reform ukase of March 3 and has taken tbe bold step of requesting and practically demanding that the miuister accept the services of zemstvo delegates throughout the empire in drawing up tbe plan of tbe new governmental organism to be created under tbe rescript. At least 5,000 people are homeless al ready, and the property loss has reach ed .VDoo,000. General Llnevitch's headquarters have been established for the present at Ohenehlawatzu, situated at the crossing of the Sungari river, whence he is directing the retreat of the three armies ami disposing of the fresh troops of the Fourth corps just arriving from European Russia. The protection of the Sungari bridge is vital to the salvation of the army, as tlie river is not fordable below Kirin. and once the line of the river is passed and the bridge blown up the Japanese pursuit will be effectually checked. subject President Itooscvelt is averse to using force with Venezuela, and for this reason Mr. Bowen is not being as vig orously supported by the state department as he would like. This is known to President ('astro and Is Itself likely to encourage hint iu a policy of delay. West Virginia Floods Serious. At the next annual meeting in December the policy holders will elect seven directors and the stockholders six directors.
