THE OMAHA DAILY FRIDAY, APRIL_ 1, 189; READY T0 DOSE OR BUTCHER | Graduates of the Omaha Medical College Given Their Diplomas, FELICITOUS COMMENCEMENT SPEECHES Words of Encouragoment andAdvice O1. fored the Young Doctors with Thelr Diplomas—Rev. Mr, Mann's Ad- dress—The Banquot, The eleventh annual commencemant ex orcises of the Omaha Medical coliege were hold at Boyd's theater yesterday afternoon. Among the mombors of the faculty and guests on'the platform were: Drs. Macrao and Thomas, Council Bluffs; Bridges, Hewitson, Somers, Christie, Wilkinson, © Jonns, Gibbs, Neville, Lewsenring, Chase, Hoffmann, Deniso, Brown, Lavender, Muller and McClaoahan, The exercises opened with an overture by ‘ the opera house orchestra, after which Rev. A.J. Tarkle in a short prayor asked the Aivino blessing upon the proceedings and upon the institution which was sending them out. Rov. David R. Kerr, D.D., chantellor of the University of Omana, was introduced by Dr. Macrae with the remark that the med- dcal colloge would hereafter be known as the ! medical departmont of that university, Chancellor Kerr opened his addross with ‘gomplimenting the eity upon becoming the “géay of & university and explaining the ob- “Jocts of the university and the good accom- plished by the afiiliation of the Omaha Med. feal college and Bellevue colloge. He said that the name of universitv would do no good if effective work were not donej that pretentions would not amount to anything ana advertising would soon be seen through. * i He believed that a nigh educational standard would be as highly appreciated in tho west 88 1u any part of the world. Nebraska had a pride in and an appreciation of good things “which opened the door for the establishing of & university. The University of Omaha therefore came into existoncein responso to #demand for it and its work would ve to promote the welfare of tho Omana Medical college, the Bellevue institution and to add 1o these dopartments as occasion would per- .+ mit. The best work he claimed was now + @one bythe colleges which were departments of university, and in this line the univer- itywas ostablished. 1ts objects would bo, in & word, togive the broadest education for the -least expense, { . At tho closeof his address thero was an .. Bxplosion from the gallery of ‘“Rab, 'Rah, * '"Rah, Zip, Boom Uni-versity Oma-ha, 'Rah, 'Rah, 'Kab,” and a burst of applause from the audience. They Are Doctors Now. Dr. Leisenaing, president of the board of ! trustees, In lutroducing the graduates ad- i sdressed them 1n relation to the gift about to ba conferred upon themand the duties which would be required of them. He realized the #olemn responsibilities of the hour in address- ing them for the last time. One year ago he had addressed a similar class, one of whom, whose future was promising, is no more, and he had often asked himself if he had dono his duty by that student. The faculty had pronounced the class fitted to bu endorsed with a degree but he cautioned its members not to imagine that their work was accordingly done. They had s life lung work before them. True, they began where ages of investigation had left off, but he admon- ished them to work hard in the profession which thoy had chosen and thoe possibilities of which could not be measured by tinite mind. He advised them to use their com- mon sense,to be honest, painstaking men. He wartzed them not to be talked into buying propriotary medicines and read a bumorous poem on the mishaps of what he called the railroad doctor, who cured all sorts of mal- dies - instantaneously. During the time when they should be anxiously waiting the verdiet of some fair prospective partuer, he « Bid they would have ample tima for study. 2 Jo dealing - with their patients hé exhorted lh?m in coaciusion to foilow the golden rule. After prosenting the diplomas the doctor bade the class msun affectionate farewell and God speed in behalf of the faculty and their fellow students. Thoso who received diplomas were: An- drew Jackson Baker of Omaha, David J. Bartlette, Omaha; Philip H, Metz, Omanha; ‘William A. Lusk, Fafrtield; U. D. Stone, Crab Orchard; J. A, Roeder, Omaha; Georgo O Mprs. Vilena 5. Henderson arron, A. M., Omah 1004 ouncil' Biuffs; W. O Visner, North Platte, and W. E.’ Dixson, Mead, each of whom was_the reciplent of 8 zorgeous bouquet from admiring friends. After another selection by the orchestra Rov. N. M. Mann was introduced and ad- drossed the class. Hoeus Pocus and His Followers. He kad been, he sald, in some doubt as to 8 topic, for he knew nothing of medicine ex- cept that it was bad to take, Inlooking over ‘Turner’s ‘‘History of the Anglo-Saxons,” however, ho had come upon @ character of ywhom it would be safo to talk— Hocus Pocus. 'ne name was evidently latinized, but the legend gave no information of date or pro- fession axcept that he was a docwr of some- thing. Ivwas evident that this ancient had performed the functions of the-three learned professions. His work was seon in all the rrol ons of the present day. As for nstence in- law, the fictions that the wife nd husband are one und thut everybody knows tho laws are like all doctrines of Hocus Pocus. In bis days, of course, there i was no science of medicine, and this worthy acquired his medical science intuitionally. slocus Pocus, however, had left a school which gave an Insight into his methods, His grand principle was that all outward ail- ments wero the result of occult influences. Hocus Pocus was nothing if not spiritual. Oue of hia doctrines was that of animal magnetism, and -gml find it was. Nothing could bave suited him better. The mystery of the 1thing was its great churm and Hocus Pocus and his followers felt then selves clothed with an awful majesty in pra ping their peculiar art « ~ Auothor method of Hoous Pocus, as prac- i« ticed by a follower, Nostradamus, consistod of ‘prophesy. This gentleman had royal ..hanaps couferred upon him and was the first 0 puplish an almanac. The next follower, Van Helmo, was a very plous man and had a ! groat deal to do with “magnotism, aud bis wlflln’l, nearly 300 years old, read like the talk of the modern Christian scientist. His most- striking experiwents were in relation 1o the seat of the soul, which was located in &cnpfl. of thestomach, And tho determina- , the speaker said, had never been fully disproved, Several other absurditics of this o) t frand were humorously presented ana ted the applause of the anaieunce, Numerous other followers of Hocus Pocus were iustanced and some of tho works de- soribed'iu Mr, Manu's interesting manner. Hoous Pocus at Presout, T'he nineteenth century, however, he thougnt had distanced them all in glorifica~ tion of tho dogtrines of Hocus Popus. Now, as at first, be to cure without medi- cive; He would atolish the dootor, but he tolorates the priest. Therc are many points " of agreement between the modern church and the anclent Hocus Pocus, though ho has nover stood any chance of canonization, from the simple fact that tho church has never boen suro that Hoous Pocus was not assisted by the prince of evils. The great encmy of Hoeus Pocus in the modern world, the speaker continued, was selence, though the mavy mediums, trasco pie and the lixe were sufiicient evidence ml Hocus Pocus was halding his own in the contest. One great trouble was that a gre: many followors of Hocus Poous denied thei master. A aangerous class of his followers was the solf-deceived and honest in its foily ‘who worked with the fervor of conviction to doceive the rest of the world.

W thay thank our stars that Shakespear did not live in the age of Christian soience. If the light of this had dawned upon his benighted soul he would never have got off some of the stuff he did, , The great néda of the time is to despen the sense of realily. This will best be accom- plished by the work of men sent out by the schools. To do something toward this end ought to be the highest ambition of the mod- ern graduato, 1t was part of the work of the class before him to compel & hoarde of magi- cians either to go ont of business or to de- f)lurn themselves tho disciplos of Hocus ocus, Prizes Awarded. In presenting the prizes Dr. Macrae stated that the class in tho matter of marks had come very nearly together, but that Mr. U, D, Stono " bad finally received the award of $25. The tirst prize for dissection was taken by I, A. Stockdale, and the second by J. Leeper. FEASTED AND TOASTED, Banquet at Which New Doctors Were the Lions, In the evoning the graduating class was givon an clegant baaquet in tho cato of tho Paxton hotel by the faculty of the college, Plates for200 waro sproad and tho monu was an elaborate affair with the tables tastefully decorated with flowers and smilax.{ After the repast haa beon partaken of the toastmaster, Dr. Donald Macrao, introduced Dr. W. H. Christie, who responded to the toast, *The Omaha Medical College.” He said 'tho institation was full of ambi- tion, dosire and hope. Hoe spoke of Omaha as tho queen of tho Missour) and by its continual growth great opportunities woro offered. People would be sick, hospitals would have to be built and the services of doctors would bo reguired. Each graduate that went out from tho college added lustre to the institution, which was now a live, ambitious one. Ho alluded 1o the responsibility réating upon the shoul- ders of thoso who would soon be administer- ing to the wants of suffering humanity. He advised them to shun yuackery as thoy wonld a viper and every other dis- honotabie means of practice. Their linos would be one of constant study and toil. Turn not backward, but march forward with the progress of Lhis age, he said, after which toasts were drunk to the memory of those who founded the medical college, to the alumni, and to the students. Rev. David R. Kerc responded to thn toast of “The University of Omaha.”” Ho said that the university was as closa to his heart as was the redical college to the heart of the toastmaster who had previously ro- forred to that iustitution in glowing terms. Rev. Mr. Kerr's speech was filled with humor' ana good natured sarcasm. He talked on foreordination, ringing fn several satirical remaks on tho union depotand other contemplated improvemonts as foreordi- nated. ~ He thought Omaha would be a university city, as the town had had greatness thrust upon it, Humorously hoe referred to the 'varsity yell, the students painting the town red and the like and then said the institution was a groat benefactor altor all, Medicine in Nebraska, Dr, S. D. Mercer responded to the toast. “Medicine in Nebraska.” Twenty-five years of the most active period of his life had been spent in the practice of medi- cine, but for the last ten years he said ko had been out of the profession. In the early days when ho practiced medicine long journeys to the sick were necessary and the fees were small, as tho class of people in thuse days were poor. In speaking to the students he said they must understaud medi- cine, diseass and heaith, Disease must be recognized first, then study it.and then trest it. To treat it was necessary to kuow the remedies for 1t. He spoko of medi- cine being practived in Omaba 100 vears beforo he came here, It was done very effectively by “‘Blackbird,” an Indian. Dr. Mercer then related some reminiscences of old times, and spoke of the birth of tha medical colleze, how it had been nursed and reared. Aftor paying a tribute to the fao- ulty and college and giving some advice to tuo students, he concluded. +*The Newspaper and the Physician” was a toast responded to by Gilbert M. Hitoh- cock, LI. D. He talked of medicine ads at the ‘‘top of the column next to pure reading matter’” and some other things that the students know about physians. Judge W. W. Keysor responded to tho toast “Law and Medicine.” and told how they should bo administered. “Specialism in Medicine” was dwelt upon by Dr. Harold Gifford. —_—— . OMAHA SCALPERS WORKED. They Purchased Worthless Tickets of an Alleged Burglar. Harry Philbiu und Charles Saxe, the ticket scalpers, haven't as much confidence in hu- manity as they bad Wednesday morning. On the afternoon of that day a stranger sold each of them an unused ticket from Pacitic Junc- tion to San Francisco, and each of them gave up $35 for the strip of blue paper and its coupons, The tickets purported to have been issued by tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail- road at Bushuell, Ill. - They were unlimited, which made trcem peculiarly valuable for scalping. The stranger said he had started for California, but on reaching Omaha had been offered a job as engineer on the Union Pacitic at $125 a month, Hence his desire to ell the ticket. He told the same story to A. Forman, but that scalper’s suspicion was aroused because he knew that the railroad did not pay its engineers & specitied monthly salary.” He sald he would wire Bushnell to find out if the ticket was all right, and he kept it in his possession. He was to pay the stranger yos- terday morning if satistied that the ticket was regular, but when he came down town he dropped 'in upon his brother scalpers to compare notes. Of courso they at once dis- covered that tho stranger had had three tickets, all alike, and the circumstances stamped hir as a fraud, It appears that tho Burlington office at Bushnell was robbed Monday nignt of sixty- six unlimited San Francisco tickets, ‘The stranger gave bis name to Forman as Johnny White. One of his hands is minus & finger and ho hns a mole on one ocar. Mr. Saxo went to Lincoln yesterday in hope of overhouling White, but failed. R WEATHER FORECASY.

COMPLETED THE YEAR'S WORK Interesting Exercises in Honor of Omaha Theological Students, RELIGIOUS FUTURE INSTITUTIONS Something About the Presbyterian Semi- nary to Be Erected In Seymour Park ~Dr, Miller's Entortaining Re= marks on the Subject. The six young ministers who have com ploted the first year's study at the Prosby- terian Theological seminary of Omaba have reason to feel highly complimented by the reception they recoived last night av the Socond Presbyterian church on North Twenty-fourth street. The church was well filled bya highly cultured and deeply interested audionce of ladies and gentleman. Rev. Asa Leard pro- sided and after asking tho audience. to sing “'All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, etc.,” and tho offering of prayer, Dr. Leard said that the occasion could not be called & com- mencoment_exerciso, becauso it being the first year of tho seminary and the course being throo years in length thero could be no graduates this year, but the present occasion might be called a begiuning. He then spoke of thonew building to bo erected at. Sey- mour vark and placed upon the puipit desk a drawing of o nandsomo four-story solid stone structure covering an area of 70 by §) feet, which is to bo the first building of tho theological seminar; 1t will cost about §50,000, and it 1s hoped to havo tho building wel) under way beforo snow flies. i Somothing About Seymour Park, Dr. Leard then introduced Dr. Georgo L. ‘Miller, who was to_speak upon the subject “Seymour Park.”” Dr. Miller spoke with his usual earnestness and enthusiasm, and was frequently applauded. Ho said thut he e lected the Seymour park farm twenty-threo vears ago when it was a bleak prairio with but very few trees upon the entive 430 acres, He was influenced very largely by the advice of Horatio Seymour in purchasing the land. His object was to improve it aud to leave to succeoding generations something that would be a blessing and a benefit to the whole peovle. With this in view ho had planted mora than 100,000 trees upon the land and he had uho satisfaction now of seeing a sturdy for- esy growing up there thav he had plantea with his own hand. In that beautiful park ho had erected s substantial residence that ho belioved wauld stand for 200 years. About two years ago he. had = been visited by . a delezation of promi- nert Presbyterians who . praposed - to orect a theological seminary there and had- asked him what inducements he would offer. It did not take him long. he said, to make up his mnd. Hoeoffered the gentiemen twenty- five acres of land any place in tho. park if a ary building of certain dimensions and character was erccted within three years. Later the proposition was accepted. “The decd for that land is ready for the trustees of the seminary atany timo they wish to call for it,” suid tho generous speaker, and the audience apviauded. Dr. Miller then entered upon a leagthy descrin- tion of the park property and dwelt elo- quently upon the future of Omaha and the usefulness of the theological seminary, He referred to many interesting incidents in tho history of Omaha and said that the city was ouly in its babyhood. Omaha's Future Growth. He predicted that there wore people in the house who would live to see Omaha with a povulation of 500,000. The city needed moral and religious institutions as ‘much or ‘more than it needed brick blocks. Returning azain to the subject of Seymour park, Dr. Miller said he hoped to teave behind bhim something that would perpetuate the hon- ored name of Neymour, even though his own might be forgotten, From Horatio Seymour he had recstved: | the greatest and best inspirations of all bis 1tfe, excepting those he had received from Lis muther, and he proposed to do ali ‘in his power to honor the name’ of Seymour. He considered the establishment of a theo- logical seminary in Seywour park one of the very greatest things that he could possibly accomplish in honoring tho memory of a Christian statesraan aad for the ood of the rising generations in and around Omaha. He navised 6verybody in tho audience to pin their faith to the future of Omaba and push the seminary vigorously forward. Mr. John L. Kenunedy spoke interestingly upon tho - relation of the theological seminary to . the church. He thought the time would come when the seminary would be looked upon as the parent of the churches rather than the child, because 1t would be the lifo and foundation of intellectual and spirituat light for the churches. He thought the people of Omaha should be interested 1n the building of the seminary. Everybody should help push the institution to the front. Dr. Steghan Phelps spoke briefly on the work of theclass, Hereferred in eulogistic torms to the earnestness and ability of the young men who have finished the first year's work, Those Who Gompose the Class. They are B. C, Swank, Alexander Lither- land, K. A. Enders, G. A. MicEwan, E. M. Simons, and E. F. dolley. The class at the beginning of the year con- tained nine, but three of the numoer had drovped out. Dr. Phelps gave tho olass some stirring words of encouragement 'in closing. Rev. E. M. Simons, a momber of the class, then spoke in a feeling manner of the estepm in which the class beld the members of the faculty. Prof. Bell of Bellevue colloge also addressed the meeting in the luterests of general education. The closing adaress was wmade by Hon, Warren Switzler on the ‘“Ministers of Today.” He made a number of humorous bits, but owing to tho lateness of tho hour Dbis 'addwgss was necessarily cut short, He thought that the minister of the period had to nossess & very wido range of ability in order to succeed. He had to be ,a financier, an orator ond a peace Maker ©o bined, The differonce botween law- yers and ministers lay in the fact that while ministers prayed on thewr knees lawyers preyed on their clients. Mr, Swit: ler was heartily in favor of pushing the ne bullding right ahead as fast as possiblo. Rev J, C. Sloan, the financial agent, was introduced to the audience and said a few fitting words about the building fund and said ho would see the people individually about the matter. Miss Roeder sang a very acceptable solo and the members of the class were intro- duced to a lurge numbor of those present. i s NEWS FOX THE ARMY, Ligt of the Orders of a Day lu the Regular Service.

Wasnixaroy, D% March 81.—[Special Telegram to Tne: ez ]—A very able articie which is of the greatest interest to all who belivve in the gremtnul growing commercial sapremacy 'of the Witfiad [States, vand’ whigh has beeri ré&dWitH . wréat satisfdction here, appeared in the New York Tribune of Tues- day lust ¢ Casts Students of political economy:and men of far-sighted views reached the conclusion sometime ago that the United States of America, on account, of their climatic advau- tuges, their immense cxtent of counury, the enormous activity snd nerve forca of popula- tion, are destinod in'theeat future to become the greatest nation of the globe. As far as agricultural products are concerned, they are virtually that alveady, aud there 18 no ques- tion but thut in the near futuro thelr com- mercial supremacy will be unquestioned. Now, it is necessary in order to carry on gigantic business and undertake great enter- prises when results of permanent value are to be secured aud 1t is desiraole thay affairs should be conducted on a sound and permanent basis, that wreat corpora- tions must spring up, It is the only possible plan by which the diversity of interests can be brought into a homogenous whole. Europe, and more particularly Eng- land, furnishes us with examples of what co-operative or joint stock enterprises can do. All their great banks, their gigantic manu- facturing concerns and their enormous trad- ing companies are corporate bodies, Thero 18 not the slightest doubt but that this country has just begun to see the commence- ment of a like conditicn of affuirs, oniy on o far larger scale as befits the extent of terri- tory to besuppliel andthe enormous bsi- ness to ke done. 1t is, therefore, just 4s well at the start to have the popular mind free from any idea that it is necessury in order to carry ou such business that the concern shall be what is commonly called @& trust, Tho newspapers generally have been raising a wild outory against trust:, Perhaps in some cases they are justified, but in making theso attacks thoy ought to bo very careful that they do not include in their raids corporations which aro not trusts, never have beeu trusts and by theirvery corporate charter never cau becomo trusts, This fact wants to be borno very cleavly in mind. Attacks of the character referred to increase the cost of the product to the consumer, and those attacks are made in the face of the fact that the concentration of capital in manufacturing and commercial enterprises, s well us in the transportation industry, 'bas of lato years resulted invariably in lower prices to consamers and lower rates to shippors. Tho ag- grogation under one management of many of the rope and twino manufacturing coucerns in this country bas been followed by lower prices for tneir product and our- rent prices will probably bo further lowered as improved machinery.1s employed, and the purchase of raw materiais and the distribu- tion of munufactured goods is simplified, ‘The value of the'arucie referred to lies in tho fact that it pthvesbalore the public eye in praperihu}w ongaf thase very large cor- poratious which bas Iran unjustly styled a trusi, but is no moro 4’ trust than the news- paper which publisids the attack.

BAD NEWS TO FRANCE FROM AFRICA Moroceo and Dahomey Disaffocted—An- other Expodition Neosssary—Ravachol's * Versatility in Villalny—~The Tightening Over Him, [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennstt.] Paurs, March 31.—|New York Horald Cablo—Special to Tur Bre.|—The police Aro certain that Ravachol is responsible for the expiosions on ftho Ruej Clichy and the Boulevard St. Germain, and they are equally certain that he is guilty of murder and sacrilege, and that ho has stolen 30,000 franes. The accused confesses that ho is But he de- nios positively that he is rosponsiblo for the Rue Clichy exploston, On the other hand, another anarchist, who was arrosted last Saturday, confessed on Sunday evening that Ravachol intended to blow up tho ikue Clichy house, and as the oxplosion had taken place several hours be- fore he made his confession he must have boen in the secret, as it was impossible for him to know what was going on in Paris, Ravachol eontinues to wnsult tho magis- trates and polico, and absolutely refuses to tell whero ho has hidden the dynamite. Several arrests were mado today at Lyons and St. Etienue, the latter being the head- quarters of French anarchists, The governmeht has received bad news from Africa, which is unfortunately true. An engagement has taken place on the fron- tier of Moroceo between the f"ronch expedi- tion und the cuvalry of the sultan. Tn Dahomey tho situation 1s indeed grave. King Behanzin has attacked two villages which bad boen placed under the French protectorate, and has also fired upon a stoamer which had on board tho governor of the colony and several wounded French men. The savages in Dahomey are certainly showing groat animosity toward Frenchmen, and we must send out a new expedition if we desire to restore order thore. I have learned this evening on the most in- disputable, I might almost say oficial, Authority, that during the sojourn of Em- peror William at Chateau Hubertus an cpe- ration was performed on his ear by Prof. Esmarch. An incision was made in the tympanum of his right ear and = small sitver tube was then inserted in such & manner as to make the matter ran mors freely. The operation was u thorough success, tho emperor being freed from pain and becoming stronger as oon as it was over. An operation of the me kind, but without a deep incision, had already been made at Kiel while the emperor was on s trip to Norway and this explains why he kept mself uded on hoard tho vesscl for eight days. In tho same way his strict seclusion nt Chatcau Hubertus can be ac- counted for. At one tim> the effusion of matter was accompanied by pain which was hardly endurable, but before the matier be- gan to flow frevly his suffering became so great that his mind appeared to_ becomo affected ardanother operation was necessary. All this is interesting news in view of the political crisis in Germany. Jacques ST, Ceni. STARVING STRIKERS, Miners’ Idlencss Serlously Affecting Other Industries—May Last a Fortnight Longer, Loxnox, Mareh 31.—1'he strike of tho coal miners in Durham, which began March 12, will probably, be prolonged a fortmght longor, As u consequenco of the striko the coal shipping trade of Sunderland, Scabam Harbor ana Hartlepool is entirely suspended, the vrade on the Tyne has been greatly cur- tailed and the 1ron and steel trade of Cleve- land is at a standstill, Seventy furnaces in Middiesboro have stopped operations. Thousands of workmen at Stockton are idle owing to the scgreity of fuel. At yes- terday’s wmeeting there of the board of poor law- guardians 1t was reported that hundreds of piople were ina starving condition. Relief works for tue benefit of the unsmployed have been opened. A compromise has been effected by which a strike affecticg 800 miners in South Wales and Monmouthshire has been averted. The trouble grew out ot & threatened reduction. The federation board of the Durham winers has asked the Coal Owners associa- tion to witharaw its notices and allow the men to resume work. The Coal Owners asso- ciation, iu reply, nformed tho federation that the resumption of work by the men must bo accompaniod by @ sottlement of tho wage question, either by agreemont or arbitration. ONE OF BLAINE'S BOLD SCHEMW It Has Been Discoverad by a Correspondent ot the London Times, Loxpoy, March 31.--The Times corre- spondent at Buenos Ayres telegraphs his paper as follows: Argentine's declaration hat reciprocity with the United States has been declined was only balf the truth. At first the Argentine government declined to hold their war ships at the disposal of the United States, but the government has now accepted in principle Admiral Walker's gon- orous offer of United Siates protection in case the Argentine Republic becomes in- voived in boundary questions with Chili and Brazil, and of protection against foreign in- terference if the Argentine Republic at- fempts to cancel her Kuropean oblizations, Brazil desires to rescind the reciproci trealy which sho has obtained, as the Bra- zihans declare, under promises which huve never been fulfilled,and has now been thrown over by the United States, Chuli might per- haps e attacked through the Argentine Re- public while funds were being advanced to her to enable her to pay Chili the Tacna- Arica indemuity, the consideration for this being the excellent and easily defensible port of Chimbote, which is to bo held ready as United States naval station. This is part of Secretary Blaine's ambi- tious program to destroy European influence in the South Auantic and Pacific in order to seoure & good card for the presidential elec- tion, BURMAH'S CAPITAL DESTROYED, Bt Two Hundred Perish and Twenty-five Thousand Homeles RANGOON, Maich 31.—A great fire 1n Mandalay, the capital of Burmah, destroyed the town, The loss of life way reach 200 or more.
