The delicate and sensitive organs, pecu
liarly feminine, are in n& condition for
the shock which is consequent on the
great change. Drains that are offensive
and debilitating are set up, inflammation
and ulceration with female trouble are
added in time, and when motherhood
comes the strength of body is inadequate,
and the condition of mind unfit, for the
responsibility. The natural result is a
child that is unhealthy and unhappy.
Happy wifehood, healthy motherhood,
beautiful children, all follow the use of Dr.

A FEARFUL CONFLAGRATION.
City of Hall lad Great Portion of Ottawa
Destroyed Mills, Residences and
Business Houses In Ashes
Started by Fool Chimney.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Ottawa, Out., April 27. Five
square miles of territory burned over;
more than 2,500 dwellings, factories,
mills, stores and .other buildings de
stroyed, entailing a loss estimated to
reach $20,000,000, and between 12,000
and 15,000 men, women and children
homeless, is a summing up of the havoc
wrought by the fire which has been
raging at Hull and in Ottawa since 11
o'clock yesterday morning, and at
midnight was not completely under
control.
Most of the lumber piles in Otta
wa have disappeared and are now
mere heaps of charred wood and
ashes'. Half a dozen churches and
schools, a number of mills, the Hull
water works, the Hull court house
and jail, the convent almost every
business place, and about 1,000 dwell
ings and shops in Hull have been de
stroyed. Indeed, practically nothing
of Hull is left, but a church and a few
houses beyond it.
In this city it is estimated that be
sides the mills, factories, etc., burned,
1,500 residences were destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at $15,
000,000 and the insurance at $2,500,000.
The city of Hull has been burning
since noon to-day and all that remains
atihe time of writing is a small corner
in the east end of the city, and before
long it too will be in ashes. . There are
a few houses standing in the suburbs
of the burned city,
Hull has a population of about 12,
000 people and more than half of them
ae homeless to-night. The entire
business part of the city, including the
court house, postofflce, public build
ings and newspaper offices, is one
mass of ruins. The population is al
most entirely composed of people who
work in the mills or who derive their
business from those works. The fire
crossed the Ottawa river in the after
noon, took hold among the lumber
piles on the brink of the river and ex
tended to the lumber yards and mills.
Ottawa Fire Swept.
The result is that the whole of that
part of Ottawa known as the Claudiere
flats, surrounding the Canadian Pa
cific railway station, where the lumber
mills are all located, is fire swept The
only building in the whole area is that
of the Ottawa carbide actorv, which is
newly erected and .fireproof.' From
the flats the Are extended across the
Richmond road to BochestervUle and
as far as the Experimental farm. West
erly the fire took in Hutonburg and
Mechanicsvilie, so that on the Ottawa
side of the, river there is a larger area
covered by fire than on the Hull side.
It is estimated that at the present time
the number of people, homeless in the
two cities and suburban towns is not
less than 12,000, and it may reach
15,000.
The government has given the Drill
Hall and the city the large Exhibition
buildings to accommodate the suffer
ers. All institutions have lent a hand to
Aid the Distressed.
The only industry left standing in
Hull is the Houlmer & Houston lum
ber mill at the extreme end, beyond
the . city limits, and it is . still in
danger. The large Roman, Catholic
cathedral is surrounded by flames.
Nothing can be done to stop the fire.
It will burn itself out to the water's
edge. The Hull Lumber Company's
mills, the- extensive works of E. B.
Eddy, both match and paper factories,
as well as his residence, are all in ruins,
as well as the inter-provincial bridge,
which connects the city of Ottawa
with Hull.

some fine residences included in this
area, including that of J. R. Booth,
valued at $100,000.
When the fire was seen to be disas
trous, the acting minister of public
works telegraphed to Montreal, Peter
boro an'd Brockville for fire appliances
and all assistance that could be sent.
But although they arrrived speedily,
they were of no avail. Nothing could
stop the ravages of the fire, which
leaped over whole blocks and broke
out in all directions.
. Loss Over Fifteen Millions.
The Canadian Pacific railway sta
tion, a wooden structure, who nn nf
the first buildings to go. A large cliff
wyiuu exienus oacK irom tne Uttawa
river and a shifting of the direction of
the wind were all that saved the whole
city of Ottawa becoming a prey to the
fire. Shortly after noon the wind,
which had been , blowing northwest
erly, 'changed to southeasterly, thus
saving what remained of Ottawa.
It is almost idle to talk of losses
while the fire yet burns, and with a
chan&re of wind it would rAtainiv
sweep the city, but a moderate calcu-
muon wouia do somewnere between
fifteen and twenty millions of dollars.
The covftmmpnt had ffca miiuia
called out and adjourned the House of
wjuiiuoas umu xuesaay on account of
the fire.
Montreal, April 26. A special train
with two fire engines left this after
noon for Ottawa. Telegraphic com
munication with Ottawa has failed.
Sltaation ia Hall.
In Hull the fire has about burned
out. The business portion is all gone
and over half the residences. The Ro
man Catholic cathedral has been
saved, together with Eddy's sulphate
works, Gilmour & Hughson's mills
are al&o standing. " The only means of
communication between Ottawa and
Hull is by boat. From 2 o'clock the
only water to be had in Hull is from
the river.
Chief Benert,of the Hull fire brigade,
was injured and taken to the general
hospital in Ottawa. The fire origi
nated through a fire in a dirty
chimney, and the high wind caused
the flames to spread rapidly.' Coming
to the Ottawa side of the river and
that portion of the city east of Divis
ion street, the old boundary line of
the city before Roches terville was an
nexed, was almost entirely burned
down. Here and there a building re
mains. The village of Hintonburgh,
still further east, in close proximity to
the city, has not been destroyed as re
ported. The greater part remains.
Mechanicsvilie. too, which was report
ed to have been entirely swept away,
still remains. - ' ,
' The fire at midnight was largely
confined to that part of Rochesterville
lying near the St ',Louis dam in the
southeast part of the city. Unless a

In addition to the losses mt-uiw-.
there is that of the Export Lunr.ber
Company, limited, whose establish
ment was at the Chaudiere. Their
loss will be .very heavy, but is cov
ered by insurance in American and
English companies.
A prominent lumber man is sponsor
for a statement that the price of lum
ber would certainly be raised on ac
count of the fire.
Insurance Losses:
The Ottawa Insurace Company, a
new institution, will be a heavy loser
in the fire. All the Canadian Com
panies and some of the English and
American Companies are interested. ,
A. T. Wood, M. P of Hamilton, a
prominent business man, considers
that when all the losses ave made up
they would be nearer $30,000,000. "
At midnight th& fire was completely
under control.
TEXAS FLOOD SITUATION
IS STILL ALARMING.
Rivers Continue to Rise Loss by Flood
and Hurricane Estimated at Over'
' Three Million Dollars.
By Telegrapn to tbe nornlng Star
Waco, April 28. The flood situa
tion remains practically unchanged
from last night- Conditions could
hardly , be worse. Every available
wagon.dray and float were brought into
use and the entire night was spent in
moving hundreds of fatalities out of the
submerged district There are no new
names added to the list of families to
day but reports of persons missing and
who were last seen in the overflowed
section are numerous. A call for aid,
signed by the mayor and many prom
inent citizens, has been sent out and a
mass meeting of the citizens of Waco
will be held .Monday night to devise
means to aid the suffering and those in
need. The local weather bureau gives
the rainfall for the past twenty four
hours as 4.05, the heaviest on record..
A special from Houston says: .
Not since 1857 has this city and'
vicinity been visited by such a down
pour of rain as fell here during the
past two days. - The Salldo broke all
previous records and destroyed the
fine iron wagon bridge at this place.
At Summerville the school house was
carried away and the dam washed
out The large steel bridge at Little
River, on the main line of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, is wrecked. The
Leon river is out of its bank and the
electric plant is flooded, the city being
in total darkness
Rivers Still Rising.
Dallas, Texas, April 28. The
floods show no signs of receding. On
the contrary, most of the Texas rivers
are rising. A Fort Worth telegram at
10 A. M. said the Trinity river had
overflowed, doing much property dam
age. The people are alarmed for the
safety of the waterworks, which are
seriously threatened. A nine-foot rise
is sweeping down from the headwaters
of the Trinity. This will cause a big
overflow in the vicinity of Dallas and
Fort Worth by to-; ight
A bulletin from Waco at 10.30 said
the list of dead there will reach from
ten to fifteen persons. The property
damage in Waco will exceed $150,000.
The telegraph lines of both companies
are gone south of Waco, isolating
more than one-half of the State.
Railroad movements are suspended
south of Dallas on almost every line
in the State. The loss by flood and
hurricane since yesterday morning is
estimated to reach three to five mil
lion dollars, including damage to rail
roads and crops. The damage to rail
roads is immense.
UNITED STATES AND TURKEY
No Intimation That Aay European Power
Will Interfere in the Dispute Over .
Indemnity Claims.
Br Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Washington, April 28. The Uni
ted States government has not received
the slightest intimation from any Eu
ropean nation of a disposition on its
part to interfere in any manner in the
present dispute between the United
8tates and Turkey over the American
indemnity claims. It may also be
stated on the best authority, that none
of the representatives of the European
powers in Washington has requested
th9 State Department to deliver itself
of any explanation of its intention af
fecting Turkey, nor doei our govern
ment anticipate any interference by
third parties in this matter so long as
our claims are confined to their pres
ent perfectly legitimate basis.
All that can be stated by authority
respecting Mr. Griscom's course at
Constantinople is contained in the
general declaration that he is pursu
ing instructions to insist to the Turk
ish government upon a redemption of
its promise to pay the indemnity
claims.
None of the officials intimate what
steps will be resorted to in case Mr.
Griscom's request is denied. They
prefer to believe that the demand will
meet with success: The phase, to be
feared is procrastination on the part of
the Turkish government; something
harder to meet than an unqualified re
fusal to pay. ItisunderstoodthatMr.
Griscom is shaping his representations
to the Porte With menial rnfiiwna in
the avoidance of this pit-fall.
HULL-OTTAWA FIRE.
Later Estimates of the Damage-Value of

Ottawa, April 28. The estimates of
the damage wrought by Thursday's
fire prove to be under rather than over
the mark. A careful survey of the

EXTEND SYMPATHY
TO THE BOERS.
Resolution Sprung. Upon he
Senate by Mr. Pettigrew
- of South Dakota.
IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION.
A Vote Taken Upon Motion to Refer to
Committee Falling a-Quorum tbe
: Senate Adjourned House Pro
ceedinfs Bills Passed r
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Washington, April 28. Quite un
expectedly to-day tne ' senate was
brought face to face with the proposi
tion to extend its sympathy to the
Boers in their war with Great Britain.
In the midst of the consideration of
bills of minor importance, Mr. Petti
grew, South Dakota, called up the
following and asked for its immediate
consideration :
4 'Whereas, from the hour of achiev
ing their own independence the people
of the United States nave regarded
with sympathy the struggle of other
people to free themselves from Euro
pean domination, therefore, i
.- "Resolved, That we watch with deep
and abiding interest the heroic battle
of the South African republics against
cruelty and oppression and our best
hopes go out for the full success of
their determined contest for liberty.
When Mr. Lodge, Massachusetts,
had formally ascertained that no com
mittee had reported the resolution to
the Senate, he moved that it be refer
red to the Committee on Foreign Re
lations. Without a word of debate,
the vote was taken, 31 Senators voting
in favor of reference and eleven
against it. As the vote disclosed the
absence of a quorum, an efforts was
fcpade to secure one, but it was unsuc
cessf ul and the Senate adjourned. .
Party lines were not drawn in the
vote to refer. While all those who
voted aeainst reference are in favor of
the adoption of the resolution: several
Senators on both sides of the chamber
who are known to be favorable to the
resolution, voted tosend it tothe
committee.
Another roll call developing the
absence of a quorum, the Senate 'at
1 :40 adjourned.
House of Representatives.
The House passed a number of bills
of importance to-day. The major por
tion of the session was devoted to the
Senate bill to create a commission to
adjudicate the claims of citizens of the
United States against Spain, assumed
by this country by the treaty of Paris.
The bill developed considerable oppo
sition and was finally recommitted to
the Committee on War Claims, with
instructions to report back a bill to re
fer the claims to the Court of .Claims.
The Senate bills to recognize the ser
vices of Lieutenant Newcomb and the
officers and men of the revenue cut
ter Hudson, which rescued the tor
pedo boat Winslow at Cardenas, Cuba,
by conferring gold and silver medals
upon them and to retire ! Captain
Hodgson, of the revenue cutter Hugh
Mcculloch, were passed. . :
Francis R. Lassiter, who succeeds
the late Representative Sidney Epes.
from the Fourth Virginia district, was
sworn in. In connection with the
presentation of his credentials a com
munication was read from James
Seldon Cowden, protesting against the
seating of Mr. Lassiter and filing
notice of a formal contest on the
ground that the vote by which Mr.
Lassiter claimed election was a "paper
vote," not actually cast.
Bills were passed to authorize the
Carolina Railroad Company; to con
struct a bridge across the Lumber
river. N.C: to provide for the re
vision and codification of the general
laws of the United States; to authorize
the construction of a bridge across the
tfacK my, at Biloxi. Miss.
At 2 o'clock the Senate bill to create
a commission to adjudicate all elaims
of citizens of the United States against
Spain, which the United States under
the treaty with Spain agreed to adju
dicate and settle, was taken up.
Mr. Ray, New York, opposed the
Dili, tie argued that there was no
necessity for such a commission. It
created, he said, three commissioners
at $5,000 annually, a chief clerk at
$3,000, an assistant attorney general,
an unlimited number of assistant at
torneys at $200 a month, and a big
corps or cleris and stenographers.
Mr. Ray contended that the Court
of Claims should do this work. They
had ample time and this additional
labor would not break them down.
The only excuse and justification for
the enactment of this bill, Mr. Ray?
declared, was a desire of certain Sena
tors to get good berths for their con
stituents. He demanded to know how
many claims had been filed and what
they amounted to.
Mr. Mahon, Pennsylvania, replied,
that he did not know how many claims
naa Deen med, but that the legislation
was recommended by the President
and the Secretary of State.
Mr. Mahon later said the claims for
Cuba aggregated $33,000,000 and those
from Porto Rico $4,000,000. He offered
asuostitute providing that the com
mission shall not exist over eighteen
months; that all claims not filed within
six months shall be forever barred,
and that the awards shall be final.
After further debate the bill and the
substitute were recommitted to the
Committee on War Claims, with in
structions to report back a bill to refer
the claim to the.Cburt of Claims.
At 4.20 the House adjourned.

THE BOERS HAVE
- ' A GOOD START;
Very Little Probability of Their
v Being Overtaken by the
British Forces. k
NOT HAMPERED BY WAGONS.
No Fighting Reported-The Total Absence
. of News from British Sources Be
lieved to Indicate That Roberts
Is Preparing a Surprise.
By Cable to the MorninK Star. ,
London, April 29, 3:30 A. M. The
total absence of news from the seat of
war in South Africa during; the last
twenty-four hours, it is presumed, in
dicates that operations are progressing
which it is deemed prudent ' to keep
secret t
So far as the situation in the
southeastern part of . the Free
State can' be worked out : from
the latest dispatches, the main
body of the Boers, composed of the
forces recently holding Thaba N'Chu,
Leikop and Dwelsdorp. is retiring:,
probably with a viewto joining; in the
neighborhood of Ladybrand the com
mandos from the yicinity of Wepener,
which, according to a dispatch from
Aliwal North, dated April 28th; made
good their retreat to Ladybrand. The
main body of the Boers is being fol
lowed by Generals Hamilton, French,
Brabant - and Hart, while General
Bundle, also, is on the spot '
The British thus have an overwhelm
ingly superior force and ought to wipe
out the Boers if they succeed in over
taking and bringing them to bay.
It may be assumed that the Boers
are to the eastward of a line drawn
from Thaba N'Chu, to Wepener. The
retreat, it seems, is being carried out
without fighting, which indicates that
the Boers have a good start . and the
dispatches say that they are not hamp
ered much by transport and leave no
visible wheel tracks behind them on
the veldt This militates against the
probability or tneir being overtaken
and forced to a decisive action. While
it is possible that news of such a bat
tie may come at any moment the
chance seems even that they may get
away without being forced .to turn and
fight.
It is within the ranee of possibilities
that Lord Koberts, without waiting
ror tne outcome of these manoeuvres,
will begin his advance northward.
This may be the secret that the censors
have been so jealously guarding.
