If one can believe the American Electrician?and its authority is high? the electric fan that is used to keep one cool during the summer can also be used advantageously to heighten the temperature of a room during the winter, where the steam radiator is either too small or the steam pressure too low to maintain a comfortable temperiture. "Place the fan," says the Electrician, "so that the current of air will blow against a large surface of the raliator,. and in a very short while the room is changed from cold to warm." rhe production of that effect in that svay is very hard to understand, and, therefore, not easv to believe, but the Electrician ought to know what it is talking about, and the experiment is >ne easy to try.

Tokio, Japan.?Every official repor from the front ndds to the raagnitudi of the Russian disaster, and the indi cations are that the whole truth o; the crushing blow delivered by Fieh Marshal Oyama to the Russian arm: will not be known for some days, ow ing to the fact that the casualties ar< so great and the spoils so large that i is impossible as yet to get aecurati figures. As an indication of the losses inflictec on the enemy, a dispatch received ai .headquarters states that the Kussiar losses in front of the armies in the Sha River direction alone were 40,(XX prisoners, including Major-Genera Nashimoff, and 26,500 dead left on th( field. It is estimated that the tota killed and wounded number about 90,' 000. The spoils taken by the .Tapanest comprise a number of colors, sixtj guns, GO,000 rifles, 200.000 shells, 25, 000,000 rounds of small ammunition 2000 horses, twenty-three cartloads ol maps, a vast supply of provisions, fod der, fuel and clothing, railway and tele graph materials, accoutrements anc supplies of all kinds. Every dispatch received adds to the number of prison ers taken and guns captured. The official dispatches state that the pursuing detachments which started from the right bank of the Hun Rivei reached a line thirteen miles north oi the river. . On the fcfllowing day the pursuit of the retreating Russians was vigorously continued. A detachment which left the Pu River, thirteen miles from Mukden, on the Tieling road, that forenoon had an engagement with a large column of the enemy which was making its way northward as rapidly as posible. The .TanflnpsA phnrcpri thf? Russians nnrt a ? ? hand to hand fight occurred. Ultimately most of the column was surrounded rind captured. Those of the column who succeeded in escaping continued to fight hopelessly for awhile and finally surrendered. The whole field was covered with Russian dead. The Japanese have since been engaged in burning their own dead and those of the enemy. The Japanese casualties reported since February 26 number 41,222. No report has been received from the Japanese operating in the direction of Haingching. Reliable unofficial reports state that a detachment of the extreme Japanese ! left has reached Sintun, on the Mukden road, ten miles south of Tieling.

Mrs. Cassie L.' Z I Chadwick was found guilty of conspir- | ing to defraud the United States in e conspiring to procure the certification of checks on a National bank when t there were no funds in the bank to ? her credit. She was found guilty on " every count of the indictment upon c which the jury was at liberty to judge 1 her?seven in all. 3 The original indictment: contained sixteen counts. Two of these were ruled out during the trial by Judge Taylor, and of the remaining fourteen one-half charged her with securing the certification of checks without having the proper entries made upon the books of the bank. Judge Taylor in his charge directed the jury to disregard these counts and consider only the remaining seven, which related to the certification with no funds on deposit. 1 TTnllni. +?,? 7^ -nr. K ?

The jury left the court room at 3.33 p. m. It was announced two hours later that a verdict had been reached, and the jurors asked to be taken out to dinner. Word was sent to Judge Taylor at his hotel, and he set 8.30 as the time at which he would appear in court to receive the verdict. The jury went out at 6.15 and returned at 7.30. Court was opened ' promptly at 8.30, and the verdict was 1 read at 8.33. Mrs. Chadwick came ' into court i.bout five minutes before the jury. She was accompanied by ! her son, Emil Hoover, and two trained i nurses. She sank into the seat she has occupied during the trial, and i rested her face in the p.ilm of her i right hand?a position she had almost i constantly throughout the session of court. During the afternoon she had suf fered severely from a cramp in her 1 right arm, being at times barely able to use it. She forgot all about the cfamp at night in her excitement, and ' moved the arm as though nothing had 'j ever troubled it. The jury sat silently in their chairs l wnitlni* fnr tho nnnooronra nt Tn/1?ro Taylor. Around the dimly lighted room stood perhaps thirty persons? ' newspaper men, bailiffs and attaches of the office of District Attorney Sullivan. Of Mrs. Chadwick s counsel. Judge Wing alone was present, and | he sat with a frown of apprehension upon his face. Emil Hoover, close behind his mother, was ready to rejoice with or console her, as the case might ! be. Mrs. Chadwick soon composed herself, raised her head, wiped her eyes, and rose to her feet with an air of bidding defiance to the worl$. Attend1 ed by Deputy Marshal Clobitz, Emil Hoover and Judge Wing she walked steadily to the hallway to take the elevator. It was not there, and in the slight delay Mrs. Chadwick's compos ure deserted her utterly. . She violently threw off the arm of ! Deputy Marshal Clobitz and that of her son, exclaiming: "Let me go. Oh. my God, let me go!" "I'm not guilty!" she exclaimed, and then, weakly, she moaned again and i again: "Oh, let me go! let me go! I'm not guilty, I tell you, let me go!" * Suddenly she fell against Judge Wing. He caught her by the ShOUlrl^rs nrtrt- tonf hoi* frrtm foIHnir unH! I ; Deputy Marshal Minder came upon the other, side. Together the two men 1 lifted her bodily and bore her into the elevator, which descended one floor, and she was taken, half walking and half carried, into the office of United States Marshal Chandler and placed upon a sofa. An attack of hysterics followed that > lasted fully fifteen minutes, her sobs L and cries being distinctly audible in the hall outside. The two nui'ses were ' in prompt attendance and applied res toratives diligently. In about half an : hour from the time she entered the 1 Marshal's office Mrs. Chadwick was restored to comparative composure, and then was taken to the jail. From the time of leaving the Marshal's office until the door of the jail closed ? behind her she kept up a continuous moaning. The verdict was unexpected by the attorneys in the case, and the attaches ) of the District Attorney's office were J jubilant over their victory. ATr. Sulli van, after the verdict had be.en rendered, said: "I don't care to say anything about it. Not now, anyhow. She's a woman, and the prosecution came in my line of duty. It has not been a pleasant case, but I believe that an honest verdict has been giveu." Judge Wing declared: "Of course, I had hoped for better things, but the f case is not ended yet. We will take It up to the higher courts, and fight it to ' the finish." LARGE FIRE IN CEDAR RAPIDS.

Russia.?Insurrectionary violence is rampant and dynamite was employed with probably fatal effect in the thick of a throng in Theatre Square, several persons being injured more or less severely. A bomb that must have been of exceptional size was hurled into the centre of a crowd crossing the square when the evening promenade was .at its height. It exploded as It struck the ground, the sound being heard at opposite ends of the city. Fearful confusion followed the explosion. and when the smoke and dust cleared away at least ha'lf a dozen persons were prostrate a short distance from the spot on which the bomb struck, and. dozens of others were struggling to their feet in a large ring. Groans from the injured mingled with the shrieks of women, ihe cries of frightened men. the curses of Cossacks and the signal whistles of detectives mixed with the people. The crowd fled to the opposite side of the square, then paused and turned to ascertain the result of the explosion. A few of the more courageous hastened back to the spot to lift the wounded from the'ground. Three of those who did so were seized by the police and rushed out of the square to a barracks in a neighboring street. A sotnia of Cossacks responded to the call of members of a Cossack patrol, who scattered in search of the larger body immediately after the bomb burst. The whole company of soldiers charged the crowd, slashing right and left with their whips and felling more than a score of persons with the flats of their sabres. Five arrests were made in all. One of the captives was nurc ternoiy o> a fragment of the bomb that struck the side of his bead, stunning him and inflicting a deep gash. He was uncoDscious when dragged from the square by Cossacks. Indignant cries Ijirok^ from the watching throng when!- he was seized, and it was then that the sotnia, in close formation, made its charge It is reported several bad casualties resulted from the onslaught of the soldiers and that Ave or six of the injured were hurried from the place by their friends before the police obtained their names. Terror reigned in all that part of the city after the explosion, and at an early hour in the evening the square practically was deserted. Uprisings are reported from all sides, accompanied by plunder of wealthy estates and the burning of country houses. One of the most aggressive of those movements was the sack of a mansion owned by Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, in the Orel government Everything portable was taken from the house by the marauders and the rest of the property was burned. Hundreds of prize cattle were driven off or killed and outbuildings went under the torch. Similar outrages were perpetrated in the plunder of an estate in the Dmitrov district that had belonged to Grand Duke Sergius. That property is close to Moscow and the flames were seen from the city. Cossacks were hurried to the estate, but they got there too late to capture any of the mob. Warsaw. ? Mutiny by reservists in Wolkowsk to escape Manchuvian service resulted in the sentence of four of them to penal servitude for life, and of eight mutineers' to twenty years. Five o? their comrades were put to death on Monday. The mutiny was regarded as particularly dangerous, because the reservists evidently exerted strong influence over the other troops. Wolkowsk is an important recruiting station in the government of uroano, and if the disaffection bad not been cheeked promptly it probably would have assumed perilous proportions. The mutineers did everything in their power to stir other commands to rebellion. aa was brought out by testimony in the course of the court martial that convicted and sentenced them.

Burglars Escape in Bajjgj and Hand Car* Freemont, Obio.?Three men blew up the vault of the Genoa Banking Company, of Genoa, early in the morning, escaping after the crime in a buggy which they had stolen. Posses -went in pursuit of the robi bers and the sheriffs of the surrounding districts were notified. Plunder amount, ingto $52,000. of which $2000 was in cash and $50,000 in negotiable paper, was obtained. The raid on the bank was made a little while before dawn. \ Several strangers have been noticed in the town lately, and it is believed they were looking over the bank and getting the lay of the land. A.heavy explosion awoke several persons living near the bank, and many dressed hurriedly and ran out to investigate. The ilrst man to reach the bank saw two men in a buggy. As he approached one of them levelled a revolver at him and fired, the shot going ' wide. He saw a third man run out of the bank and leap into the vehicle. The horse was lashed into a gallop atad the robbers quickly disappeared. On examination it was found that entry to the bank had been forced with JlLUUiltTD. IX LJUULge UL Ilk LI V~?l J LCI 1UC was used to open the vault. The job was clean and workmanlike and had evidently been done by experienced men. The vault door was badly wrecked. The interior had been rifled, but a large I sum in' bills had been overlooked. The robbers with great coolness had broken into a barn nearby and bar'nessed and taken out a horse and buggy. Apparently one mau had attended to this, whiie the other two were busy in the bank. A posse of men armed with rifles ind shotguns was hurriedly formed and pursuit began along the road taken by the robbers. The pursuing force was loaded into three wagons. The trail led to the railroad, where the abandoned buggy, with the horse .exhausted and dripping with sweat, was found. A handcar was missing from a switch at that point. In all probability the escape was carefully . planned, and the handcar placed there during the night, before the gang started for the bank. The handcar was found later in the day, the robbers having abandoned It and started across country, in all probability, after first dividing the plunder and dispersing. ; j"' i BIG IRRIGATION DAM. i It Will Overflow 350,000 Acres of Land in Arizona and Cost |1.100,00^.

Nineteen sheeted bodies of persons who were burned to death or were suffocated in a fire which swept the thickly populated tenement at 105 Allen street earlF in. the morning were laid in a row in the Eldridge street sta-tion, and eleven victims, suffering from severe injuries, were sent to Eellevue and Couverneur hospitals. Desperate rescues by policemen and firemen, and scenes of terror among the thousands of East Side dwellers who swarmed about, the blazing rabbit warren of a house, * / marked the horror. Most of the dead and wounded were children. Spreading with rapidity astonishing even in a thin-walled tenement,'the flames had shut off hope of escape by the staircases almost before they had been discovered. The fire escape at the rear proved a path to safety for scores, thanks to the cool headedness of a policeman, who saved dozens of <.& lives and who finally fell three floors while busied in his work of rescue. The other rescues were effected from the front of the tenement.at a' time when nearly every wiudow waa belch ' f .g fire and smoke and practically the .rhole interior was a ragtag furnace. In all there were about 120 Inmates in the building, divided among twenty families. There was some talk that tbe lire was the work of an incendiary, but the police could find little on which to base this theory. The kndwn dead are: Mrs. Rosie Wiener, twenty-three years old, wife of Benjamin Wiener; Sandor Wiener, Mrs. Wiener's fouryear-old son; Ida Miskowitz, ten years old; Mrs^ Jessie Kobn, twenty-six years old, wife of Harry Kohn; Moritz Mueller, five months old, and Bose Mueller, four years old, the children it Jacob Mueller; Harry Kaufman, nine years old; Isaac Sol<M?ogv eighteen years old; Jacob Solomotfc eighteen years old; Mrs. Rachel Solomon,' forty-five years old.

Some of them, dwelt further down, but were driven upward by the flames which quickly converted the lower floors into a blazing furnace. They fled to the garret, only at the last to be cut off from .ill hope of. rea- . ' cue and killed by the flre or smoke. The building, a ttve-story brick atrueture. of double tenement design,, and packed from basement to attic with Jewish and Russian families, stood at 105 Allen street, extending back to a small payed yard in the rear of 144 Eidridge street.

The tire was discovered at 3.40 o'clock in the basement on the south side. The room where the blaze is supposed to have originated was occupied by Stanislaus Stenblock, who ran a small sausage store. The adjoining basement store was tenanted by Isaac Davis, "who discovered the blaze, and who sells grape juice and light drinks. Davis probably spent several precious minutes in a frantic effort to extinguish the lire. before giving the alarm. / The barkeeper- iu a saloon at Broome and Allen streets heard Davis' cries, and without waiting to investigate guessed the causc and sent in an alarm by telephone. , Manr thrilling rescues were made by the police and fire departments' men upon their arrival.
