(Special Dttpatek tt The JosnaL) Seattle, Aug. ii. With the upper deck a sea of flames and buffeted by a fierce gale the plucky officers snd crew, of the explosive-carrier Eureka, which arrived in port this evening, struggled two hoars in the blackness of the night to prevent a fire from reaching the cargo of powder, gasoline and oil a few feet away and blowing them In tattered pieces to the four winds of heaven. A 60-mlle wind fanned the flames. While the ship careened in the heavy seas, and the men worked with fiendish energy amid the noxious fumes of hot nitrlo acid which threatened momentarily to overcome them. Dodging heavy carboys of acid as they slid serosa the deck and threw sprays or lire nerore in em, waamg Into the fiery pit Itself to grapple with carpoy and neave it overDoara. tear ful to breathe lest the fumes suffocate them the doughty men struggled on, suf fering many Durns ana onuses dui finally disposing of the last carboy and quenching the last spark. If tha lire Sad Oct Below. Then, as the realization of the horri ble death that had been averted came to their consciousness in all its force they dropped in their tracks, exhausted and unstrung, sobbing for the breath of life which had so nearly been taken from them. "My God! it was tough," said Cap tain O. aollghtly In speaking of his experience. It was the hardest thing I ever went through and I never want to experience anything of the kind again. Think what would have hap pened if the fire had ever got to the cargo stored Just below It," and with a snudder the captain turned the con versation to other topics. Leaving San Francisco August 18 with a cargo of about 00 tons, Includ ing ISO tons of powder, 200 tons of gaso line, a large quantity or on ana o carboys of nltrio acid, the Eureka hai a fairly good. passage until reaching Point Blanoo. Then the weather became nasty, and when off Mendocino at about z o clock on the morning of August 19, with a gale blowing 60 miles an hour and the ship rolling heavily from side to side a carboy of acid that was lashed on the upper deck broke loose from its moorings and smashed, the fluid coming in contact with the wood and instantly igniting it. Like a flash the ropes binding the carboys were eaten away by the flames and the entire cargo of acta was asllde on the deck, which biased brightly in the pitchy darkness. At the Tary Gates of Death. Like gnomes from the black pit the men appeared as they plunged Into the blazing mass, only to emerge an in stant later with a carboy in tow. Mate William Reed went down once on the sliPDery deck, burning his legs badly. A couple of seamen dropped as though thev had been shot and were carried below. They were revived only after long errorts, tne rumes naving nearly taken their lives. The clothing of sev eral of the men caught fire and had to be extinguished by their comrades in the gallant fight against annihilation. Finally, when the task was accom pllshed and the men had dressed the burns on their arms and legs and re. gained their nervous energy to a cer tain extent, they were addressed briefly but earnestly by Captain Golightly, who in a rew sincere woras commenaea them for their bravery and thanked them for what they had done.

Dulln, president of the Bryan Democratic league of New Tork state. Is In town. having come from Washington, D. C, on a business trip. He speaks optimis tically of Democrats vlotory In ltOt, believing a schism in Republican ranks Inevitable, resulting from the pet pol icy of the administration. Relative to President Roosevelt's ag gressive polloy toward corporations and Its effect on the rank and file of Dem ocratic voters, Mr. Dulln said: - "A majority of the radical Demo crats who have heretofore affiliated with the Democratic organisation re; gard Roosevelt as the greatest Demo crat who has occupied the chair since Andrew Jackson. "The so-called conservative ' element look upon the president as a menace to our business Interests and a dangerous man in every respect "If the president snouid consent to be a candidate again. In my opinion it would be impossible for any Demo crat to defeat him. It is believed the resident will not accept another nom nation, and for this reason leading Democrats of the country think the Democ ratio nominee will be elected. providing the .conventions choice is suitable to both the radical and the conservative elementa" Mr. Dulln said he believed the con' umHv,, In ihm mamt wauM Amttkmt Prvm should he be nominates ana tnat tnsn Bryan element would defeat a .con servative. But the same holds true in the ranks of the Republican party.

Washington, Aug. 24. The usual "we don't patronize" list Is published in the September number of the American Federationist despite the recent suit for Injunction instituted by the Na tional Association of Manufacturers. In addition the journal contains a strenu ous editorial by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, apropos of the alleged determination of the organization to raise a fund of tl.SOO.000 to fight the tabor unions, headed "Go to with your war fund." The editorial says in part: "This declaration of war shows a lack of perception which would be amusing were It not saddening. The employers In the manufacturers' asso ciation already seem to be tolerably alive to their own Interests. They have organized and Instead of frankly con ceding that right to the wageworker, they want to destroy his organization, that they may the more easily become masters of all they survey." James T.
