Twelve 8quarea of 8tuyve«ant Docks Along the River Front and Vaat Freight Terminal« of llllnoie Cen tral Wiped Out—Hundreds, of Load ed Cars Burned. S t Petersburg, March 8.— While aev eral reprots have been received as ¡to the pvorgress o f the fighting in Man- oburia, nothing had been given ont un til a late hour by the general staff. The fighting before Mnkden continue« to be general and the entire line is in volved, the Japanese apparently ¡being anxious to make a desperate attempt to pierce the Russian position. The en emy throughout Wednesday oonoentrat ed a tremendous fire with field and siege artillery against Pontiloff (Lone T ree) hilL The bombardment was so fierce that the entire b ill was envelop ed in smoke and the casualties were large, bat the Russian artillery fire in return waa fully aa effective. The fighting is becoming more intense fand the result is still problematical. The battle line extends for nearly 100 miles and both forces are engaged. The il lery fire is general and persistent along the whole front. Pheasant Uprising. Warsaw, Mar. 1.—According to re liable information reaohing this place, the Poland peasant revolt, in view of the faot that the peasants number 7,- 000,000 out o f a total population o f 10, 000,000. will, if it spreads, result in disorder far greater than anything that hgs arisen during the present agitation.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.—Fire Involv ing millions o f dollars loss In property and that strikes a serious temporary blow at the export trade of New Or leans, swept the river front Sunday night and wiped out the vast freight terminals of the Illinois Central, known as the 8tuyvesant docks. Near ly a dozen squares of modern wharves and freight sheds, two magnificent grain elevators, hundreds of loaded cars and vast quantities of freight. In cluding 20.000 bales of cotton, were destroyed together with a large ber of small residences. It hai been determined whether there been any loss of life. Thè ocean go ing shipping seems to have escaped serious damage. A number o f firemen and employes of the docks were In jured. Actual estimates of the losses are impossible to obtain, though they may exceed »6,000,000. The Stuyvesant dock«, extend from Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon avenue, a distance of 12 squares. The wharves between these two points were- covered with miles of trackage and a steel and Iron shed ran t' whole distance. Great Quantity of Merchandise. The two grain elevators were of the ost modern construction, the upper one having a capacity of a million bushels. Thousands of bales of cotton, several hundred thousand packages of sugar, great quantities of cotton seed oil and oil cake, lumber and every conceivable variety of freight filled the warehouses and sheds. Practical ly all the export business handled by the Illinois Central was put aboard ship at these docks. 8tart of Conflagration. The fire waa discovered shortly af ter 7 o’clock. It was said to have re sulted from a Journal that had been Insufficiently oiled. The blaze, small at the beginning, almost Instantane ously got beyoud control of the wharf fire fighting apparatus, communicat ing quickly to the elevators and some of the sheds. The response of the fire department was prampt^ but owing the fact that the terminals were r readily accessible tecause of fences and tracks the engines found difficulty In reaching the flames. Fanned by the Wind. The wind was blowing down the river as the blaze widened, and the fire spread rapidly In every direction. By 9 o’clock the lower elevator and sheds and wharves from Amelia street to Louisiana avenue, a distance of six squares, had fallen In. Fortunately. Louisiana avenue Is a very broad thoroughfare, and the further spread of the fire beyond that point into a residence section was checked. Be- «ween the points named, however, the flames swept to complete destruction many cottages of the poorer classes, the occupants In many instances los ing all they possessed. Nine 8quares Destroyed. At midnight more than nine squares of the terminal had been completely destroyed, and It seemed unlikely that the fire would be checked until it had reached Napoleon avenue, which also Is a very broad street. During the fire a heavy wind blew, and the blaze was of Indescribable fury, carrying brands to great distances, driving back the crowds of sightseers. Immense pieces of corrugated Iron, tom from the sides <Sf the upper elevators, were carried (, through the air as if they were featbj , era and dropping in every directló^, constantly endangering the lives at firemen and spectators. The weather was bright and warm, and nearly 60,000 people visited the scene during the progress of the fire. Aside from the tremendous financial loss Involved, the fire Is a calamity to New Orleans In the temporary abate ment of the Immense export business of the Illinois Central, particularly in the matter of grain shipments. 8tsike in Germany Has Collapsed.

Nelson W o n . 8an Francisco, CaL, Mar. 1.—Bat tling Nelson o f Chioago made Yonng Corbett o f Denver appear the veriest tyro at the fighting game Tuesday night, when he knooked him out in the middle of the ninth round. Inorder to save their man from a com plete knockout the eeonda threw np the sponge. „ 4 The man who twioe beat Terry Mc Govern was not in it with the young Dane at any stage of the game. He seemed to laok speed, and certainly lacked accuracy. In the early part of the fight on several oooasions he straightened Nelson np with rights and lefts on the jaw, but when it oame to following np his advantage his swings were wild. He seemed to be over anx ious, while Nelson at all times was oool and oonfldenL In the seventh ronnd.when it appear- d aa if Corbett was nractioally gone, be showed a flash of hls old time speed and landed several severe punobes on Nelson’s rltxfand jaw. It was only a spurt, however, and Yonng Corbett soon lapsed into his semi groggy condi tion, whiob lasted until the end o f the fight. Nelson's plan o f battle was to force Corbett around the ring, keeping close to him all the time. Whenever Corbett missed a awing Nelson waa there with a return, whioh generally landed. From the fifth round on Nel son had Corbett in a corner or against the rupee and landed * heavy blows at will. Corbett In some wa^nantged to'pro teot himself from a knockout blow un til the middle o f the ninth ropnd. In a jiffy Nelson swung his right over the jsw, and Corbett went down. He re mained down for the count, and then stood np against the ropes with -his hands np against the ropes with his hands lowered, tumbled to protect him self . Nelsno partly toppled him ovei with a swing on the jaw, bnt before Corbett was fairly on the mat hla sec onds threw np the sponge. The round lasted two minutes and 85 seconds. In the eighth round Nelson had Cor bett against the ropes, and the Denver man claimed a fonl and lowered his hands. Nelson has demonstrated that he is Corbett’s superior in speed, accu racy and aim, ability to take punish ment and administer punishment. After the fight Corbett had little to say; He had no excuses to offier. Nelson, of oourse, aa very happy and announced that his next effort would > obtain a flghut ith Britt,who had defeated him.
