WELLS; Sole Northwest Agent, AcoliaB.Hall, 353r355fVaaBlBsrteK St. NEW YORK, March 18.A swift and picturesque fire tonight destroyed the pier of the "Phoenix Steamship Line on the Hoboken, N. J., river front, with many bales of cotton and hay; burned that company's vessel, the British Queen, to a hull; consumed several lighters and their cargoes; damaged a dock belonging to the Birber Steamship Line and for a time threatened the property of the Holland-American Line and the Hugh Campbell stores. The loss, according to estimates to night, will approximate $1,000,000. Whether any lives were lost Is difficult to say. While the conflagration was at its height, and after It had been reduced by the firemen and fire boats, rumors were rife that several men perished. It was tolerably certain at midnight that Chief Engineer Scott, of the British Queen, wis burned to death on her and that a sailor named Jonsen met the same fate. One of the men who escaped says that he saw several men leap Into the water when the steamer became enveloped In fire and he saw few. If any, of them rescued. The quartermaster of the burned ship said that the crew of the vessel were In the forecastle and If they escaped it was with difficulty. Never theless, some of the British Queen's of ficers said tonight .that they were quite sure that all were safe, save Engineer Scott, who. they simply said, was missing. It is not unlikely that some of the long shoremen and stevedores who swarmed about the vessel may still have to be accounted for. Estimate of Louses. The estimated losses in detail are: Piers .-.7300,000 British Queen 400,000 Cotton and lighters " 250,000 Seven lighters wero more or less damaged. The scene, of the fire was Seventh and River streets, Hoboken. Together there are docks and basins of the Phoenix Line, the Holland-American Line and the Barber Line. The Phoenix Llrie pier was a wooden structure 300 feet long, covered with a frame shed. In this were many bales of hay and cotton, which burned with the utmost rapidity. How the Are started Is not known. With but the barest warning the flames burst out, quickly licking up the pier and the cotton upon It and driving tho stevedores and crews to the street, for the vessel wras being unloaded, having ar rived here Friday from Antwerp. The fire flared up from the steamer with as great suddenness as from the pier and. since the vessel was made fast to the pier and cpuld not be backed out, light ers and other water craft which lay alongside of her, some of them 'holding such Inflammable stuff as oil cake, quickly caught fire, too. The stiff -wind which had blown all day gave Impetus to the fire, whose glare reddened the North River for a long distance. From tho Phoenix Line pier the flames spread to the pier of the Barber Line and then to tho steamer Heathburn, new ly arrived from. Hong Kong, with a cargo of tea. Among the crew of the steamer Heathburn were 32 Chinamen. When the flames began to run over the vessel they all scrambled to the pier for safety and began to make their way to the streets of Hoboken. There was a largo force of customs officers in hand guard ing property. As soon as these officials saw the frightened Chinamen they be came alarmed that the aliens would make an Illegal entry into the country, so with drawn pistols they ordered the Chlncso to halt. The command was heeded and then, surrounded by guards, the foreigners were marched to a pier some distance away and there locked up, under surveillance, for tho night. Haaadam Towed to Safety. The Holland-American docks are below those of the Barber Line. They caught fire, but were only slightly damaged. The company's big steamer Maasdam was towed out In the river as soon as the danger became apparent. The fire was fought by Hoboken and Jersey City fire-engines and from the water side by tugs and New Tork Eire Department boats. Employes of the Holland-American apd Bremen steamship lines assisted these forces, as did the crew of the United States steamship Ports mouth, lying at the pier next above the Phoenix Line. The fire started about S:33 o'clock and by 11:30 It was well under control. The British Queen, still ablaze, was towed out Into the river. Three lighters, all afire, were directed down the river by tugs. Two of them finally drifted to the cast shore -of Governor's Island, setting fire to the new landing there. The Army officers' quarters were endangered and the soldiers stationed on the island were employed In fighting the flames. In a few houjs the danger had passed. Late tonight the Hoboken police re ported that five longshoremen were in the hospital there, suffering from burns. One of these, Patrick Hussey, Is almost sure to die, and the child of the captain of the Tonawanda is in a dangerous con dition. The captain and his wife also are at the hospital. About midnight Chief Croker. of the Fire Department of New Tork City, be came alarmed for the safety of the piers on this side of the river. The burning barges from Hoboken were floating to this side and the Chief thought it best to get a large force of. engines and other fire apparatus lined up along the river front near the American Line and others piers between Cortlandt and" Murray streets. SLATED FOR 'COMMANDER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA. 1 i m f 'SifllB - . IsVl 'SwIiiiiHk BaiiiiHNfei. P'.'HI BRIGADIER-GENBUAL ROBERT P. HUGHES. "" SAN FRANC13CO, ixrch 18. Maor-General S. B. If. Touns. -who Is" to relin quish command of the Department of California to become president of the War College which Is to be established a Washington Barracks, provided thft necessary funds are appropriated, will be succeeded by Brigadier-General Robert P. Hughes, now on duty In Washington. D. C. as president of the. Military Board of Uniforms. General Hughes only, returned from the Philippines In January. He was In that service three years and seven months, the longest- of any officer of high rank In the Army. Within two weeks after The capture of Manila, In August. 1896, Gen eral Hughes was-made 'Provost-Marshal of the city. He had to provide Manila with a government with departments, officers and everything that pertains to a modern city. His duties were performed In such a manner as to win praise from every quarter. He won especial commendation for, the efficiency with which ho thwarted the natives' attempts to burn theclty In February. 1S0O. In May, 1890, when he was relieved of this command and sent to suppress the insurrection in Panay, there were widespread expressions of regret in Manila. His campaign in Panay was most vigorous, and the Island was soon brought under American authority. General Young was then placed In command of the Department of the Vlsas. Most of the people here were tractable, but In Saraar General Hughes foun "it necessary, after the mcmorablo massacre of Company C, of the Ninth Infantry, to conduct a severe campaign against the recalcitrants. His health finally broke down under the long, severe strain, and he had to come home. General Hughes was born In Pennsylvania 63 years ago. When the Civil War broke out. he entered the Army as a private In the Twelfth Pennsylvania Infantry, and ho rose to be Lieutenant-Colonel of the One Hundred and Ninety-ninth Penn sylvania. He was brevetted Colonel for gallant services in the assault on Fort Gregg. Virginia. Continuing In the regular Army, he was transferred to the Inspector-General's Department many years ago, and made a splendid record. The Democrats, weary of the futility of the Philippines as the "paramount issue," giadly grabbed at the proposed Investiga tion for an Issue which has been unfail ing In securing the return of Democratic Senators and Representatives from South ern States. That Is about all there Is to the whole affair. Even If the Investiga tion takes place, it will amount to nothing, as It would be impossible to change the situation. Besides, there is a general de sire that the South should work out its race problem without any farther inter ference, even If negroes are to be dis franchised for a time. Ship Subsidy Talk Depresses. The votes of Allison, Spooner and Proc tor, three prominent Republicans of the Senate, together with their colleagues, who are not so well known, has had a depressing effect upon the advocates of the subsidy bill. It Is well known that a similar rush of disaffection In the House would mean that the bill would be de-' feated. It is also feared that the action of these Republican Senators will prove a stumbling-block in the Congressisonat campaign. As all other Republicans voted for the subsidy bill. It will naturally have to be defended on the stump, and this will be a difficult task In the face of the votes of these Republican Sen ators. One effect will be to put the bill over until the short session. Several Democrats of the House have advised this. They say that if the bill Is pressed now the Democrats will make opposition a party question, and the Democrats will be compelled to vote against It. If It goes over until the short session, they promise from. 20 to 25 votes for it, which will make up tho Republican loss. The advocates of the bill also count upon qqite a num ber of votes from defeated Congressmen In the short session, as they are usually not so particular if their votes are criti cised when they are soon to go out of office. Outlook: for Mineral Schools Bill. The outlook for the bill applying a portion of the proceeds of the sale ot public lands to the endowment of schools cr departments of mines and mining In the several states, which was recently favorably reported to the House, is not very encouraging. Representative Scott, of Kansas, who reported the bill, said today that there was little hope of even securing consideration for it In the House. He recently took the matter to the speak er, and was told that the appropriations are already climbing up pretty high, and he hesitated about passing a bill that would add a permanent charge of about $1,000,000 on the appropriations. Further more, the bill will be antagonized by many of the strongest advocates of irrigation, for the reason that their bill also looks to the fund arising from the sale of pub lic lands as a means of constructing reser voirs and otljer Irrigation works. How ever, If the bill can by any possible chance g?t before the House, It Is be lieved It will pass. PLEA FOR FREEDOM Growth of the Revolutionary Movement in Russia. INCENDIARY TRACTS SPREAD Students Asked That the Police, aad Aot the Military, Preserve Or der at Sunday's Demonstration. ST. PETERSBURG. March 17, by the frontier, March 18. The comparatively bloodless outcome of Sunday's riots devel ops a rather Gllbertian feature of an oth erwise serious political move. The stu dents, on preparing to make a demonstra tion, remembered the rough treatment they were subjected to at the hands of the military last year, and sent letters to the authorities promising to demonstrate wholly unarmed, and begging that the po lice instead of the military might be sent to maintain order. In fact, while the military were numerous, the police were In the majority, and the cavalry did not use to any great extent the terrible Cos sack whips with loaded butts, which caused so many fatalities In 1901. The students during the course of the day managed to distribute a mass of in cendiary literature from the tops of street cars while the police were busy fighting below. Some of these tract3 were couched In the most revolutionary language ever sent abroad in Russia. The following Is an extract from a leaflet: "Citizens of Russia, awake from that nightmare of harsh despotism, which op presses every man In Russia, under which it is Impossible for three men to meet to gether! Where in Russia is that freedom of speech and press which is found In every civilized coutry? Under the heel of tho autocrat, is it not strange that one man with Insignificant mental faculties, hsould rule over 140.000.000 people?" After a scathing denunciation of "the pretended reform o Vannoffsky" (the Min ister of Public Instruction), the leaflet concludes: "Let us begin the battle with the enemy for personal freedom, freedom of speech and popular representation. Hall the rev olutionary struggle! Down with the aris tocracy!" The election of Maxlme Gorki to be an honorary member of the Academy of Sci ences causes lively comment. Gorki was banished from the Russian capital years ago, and the newspaper with which he was connected was suppressed. commerce." vThe Attorney-General at once directed the bringing of the suit. The bill recites that the accused roads have made schedules of 23& cents per 100 pounds on packing-house products from Kansas City to Chicago, this being until January 1 the only lawful rate. Then it Is declared that the railways Involved se cretly made a rite of lSt cents, with cor responding reductions through to New York, and through unlawful combinations received largd quantities of packing-house ( proaucis, later reoaung to certain snip pers the difference between the secret and the published rate. SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OLD. Cleveland on. His Birthday Talks of the Canal and Politics. PRINCETON, N.j7 March IS. Grover Cleveland was 65 years of age today. Mr. Cleveland spent the whole day at his com fortable home on Bayard Lane with his wifo aiM children. As he was confined to the house much of the Winter on account of sickness, he deemed it advisable, in consequence of the sudden change in the weather, to remain Indoors. When seen by the Associated Press cor respondent this afternoon, Mr. Cleveland appeared to be in a happy frame of mind, and talked freely on several questions. As to construction of an isthmian canal he said: "I notice the question has already been debated and has passed one of the houses. ate steering committee for the purpose of having time allotted for the considera tion of the Nicaragua Canal bill. Senator Morgan has been found rather haughty In his dealings with the steering com mittee, and those who want to get the chnal through say It will be better in the hands of some Republican who can ccnsuiL tno interests ot tne public as well as the desires of the committee. There seems to be a determination to consider the bill, notwithstanding a well understood movement on the part of those who oppose a canal to prevent the passago of the bill at this session. Filed on Simon's Scat Month Ago. When Quay came back to the Senate he found nothing but a seat on the back row. Looking over the possibilities of Congress, he concluded that the front seat occupied by Simon would likely be vacant, and filed on It. As soon as the result of the Multnomah County primaries was known several Senators went to the officer of the Senate having the matter In charge and desired to file on Simon's seat, and were surprised to find that the astute politician from Pennsylvania had long ago forestalled them. Bryan Straddles the Issue. The Democrats of the country have ap parently stirred themselves up to a high pitch over the action of the committee on rules In reporting the Crumpacker COURT-MARTIAL OF MARINES and I see no reason whv It should not co through. Much care should be exercised, j reE0lutIon for an Investigation of South- iiuncver, uiiii c uu jiui jurinc iiic i.mit; merely a kind of grab-hag for ourselves." Mr. Cleveland said he had not carefully looked over Henry Watterson's recent let ter In which he assails the present Ad ministration at Washington and makes the accusation that things are politically in bad shape there with the Republican party. Commenting on It Mr. Cleveland said: "Well, the party may get badly mixed up with Itself at times, but It seems to have the faculty of pulling together at convenient times.'

Disappointed With Anierlcp "BERLIN, March IS. Five hundred emi grants, disappointed with life in the Unit ed States, have passed through Berlin, on their way to their old homes In Posen, East and West Prussia, Russia and Aus tria. , em election methods. There were pub lished this morning interviews with Gor man, Hill and Bryan, all condemning the proposed Investigation save Bryan, who saw no harm in It "If It was coupled with an investigation of Hanna's methods in National campaigns, and the action of banks and bankers In coercing voters." Thi Southern Democrats are very sore over the straddle of Bryan, and declare he Is not very likely to get Southern dele gates after his Interview. General Grosvenor. speaking of these several interviews, said the "notices show that several ships have turned over, re vealing defunct Presidential possibilities, all of whom seem to want to ride Into prominence as defenders of disfranchise ment of, the colored men." As a matter of fact, there is not much Interest In the Crumpacker resolution, one way or tho other. All Republicans did not want It at first, but were forced Into some action by the persistency of the minority of the party, who desire to make negro disfranchisement an issue. Waller's Coanscl Argne That the Army Has No Jarlsdlctlon. "MANILA. March IS. The court-martial appointed to try Major Littleton W. Wal ler and Lieutenant John A. Day, of the Marine Corps, on the charge of executing natives of the Island of Saraar without trial, held Its first session today. Captain Marix, who represented Major Waller, pleaded that the court lacked jur isdiction, as marines cannot be tried by the Army except when attached to the Army set-vice, whereas Major Waller re turned to duty with the marines in Feb ruary, though the facts charged occurred in January, and consequently the Army had voluntarily forfeited its right to a trial. The court, after a long consideration of the matter, directed that the point was well taken. General Chaffee .Is now con sidering the court's decision, and probably will leave the final decision to the authori ties at Washington. The court meanwhile Is held awaiting orders. mGUEVARRA SURRENDERS. Lukban Brings the War in Sanxar to an End. MANILA, March 19. General Lukban's efforts in influencing Guevarra, who re cently Issued a proclamation declaring himself the successor- of General Lukban In the Island of Samar, to surrender, have been successful. Both General Smith, in command of the United States forces in Samar, and Guevarra have agreed to an armistice to facilitate the collection of Guevarra's men with their rifles, when tho formal surrender will be made. The arms will be paid in at the fort. General Smith cables that Guevarra has 400 rifles, and that Guevarra guarantees tho abso lute jxsacefulness of his men. General Chaffee Is greatly pleased with what he considers as closing the native In surrection. The resistance in Batangas and Laguna Provinces Is practically over. There are dally surrenders there of men and guns. The Insurgents have been com pletely starved into submission by General Bell's aggressive tactics in preventing any exterior assistance from reaching them. Some surprise Is expressed at the number of rifles to be turned In by the men under Guevarra. as It was thought thero were but 200 In Samar. OX PRIVATE BUSINESS. Trial of Major Davis. WASHINGTON, March IS.

The Ea sailed from Fernan dlnana, Fla., March 31, for New York, with a cargo of rosin and phosphates. When off Cape Lookout shoals March 15 she went aground, and high seas and brisk southeast to northeast winds pre vented the lifesavlng crew from going to her assistance. The steamer broke In two this morning, and is a total loss, with heij cargo. By the efforts of the, life saving crew and the revenue cutter, the crew of the Ea was at the last moment taken oft the bridge of the vessel, after having been without food and water since Saturday. Object o Lord Wolseley's Trip to South Africa. LONDON. MarchlS. In tho House of Commons today, the War Secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, set at rest the rumors regard ing Lord Wolseley's trip to South Africa by announcing that the ex-Commander-ln-Chlef had gone to Cape Town on an entirely private visit, without previously communicating with the War Office. Re garding the Boers wearing British unI- forms, Mr. Brodrlck said all civilized na tions punished such action with dead. Boers captured wearing British uniforms were liable to be shot after trial by co"urt martlal. Lord Kitchener in certain cases had already Inflicted that penalty. In Danger From Boers.
