A FEARFUL 8PB0TACLE
The river nnd bsy were enveloped
Je) n pall of black smoke, through
which sngry flames, bursting as
from volosooes, on the Jorsey ehore
and la tha water iteelf. lesped like
red spears into tha sky. Ths surface
of the water was covered with float
lag aad biasing massss of frsight,
thrown In hssts from the doomed
vsaasls all unnoticed in the mad rsce
to reecoe more precious life, torest -
aaad or being sacrificed in the greet
ships And through the pall of amoke
a greater orimeon sun, enlsrged to
tarioe its site by tha base, glsrsd like
aa enormous sye sa it slowly rook in
the west
Snob wea tha tremendous spectsolc
presented on the snrfaoe of the Hud
river, no if it had been eome holiday
?agent It wea made tragio by the
realisation that somewhere beoenth
She turbid waters scores of bumso
livea had been lost or were theo in
their last deepersts struggle sguinst
death
This spectsole wea witnessed by
thooeande end tboueaodc from both
shores, sod by othsr thousands who
crowded on every ferry host, every
?nristy cf crsft thst could be secured
for ths purpose. The crowd upon
the banks of the river was elmost as
great ae that which wse formed to
witness the triumphant return of
Admiral Dewey.
Man working in ths holds of the
four stesmships were ehut in by
walls of flames nnd it wss impossible
to rsech them It probably never
will be known how msny livee perish*
ad io ths ships, ss the flamee would
leave bnt lew if soy remnants of
the human boiy. The greateet loae
of life eppeare to have been oo the
Basis. She enrried 450 people nnd
wea to hsve eeiled for Boston this
afternoon When the polioe host
osptsiu went out with his rsscuing
party, hs ssw bodies lying ell
around the deck The etesmmship
Bremen esrrisd a crew of 300 men,
and th* Main 250 and if ae meny
livee were lost ae on the Saale, the
number of dead will be very great.
STEAMSHIPS BURNED.
Tee flamee stsrted eo suddenly and
gained such hesdavay that the people
on tie piera and oo the numerous
vessels docked were onable to reach
the etreet Tbere were greet gsngs
of workmen or. tbs piers end these,
together with s uumber of people
who v er? st the docke on bueiness
end v ailing the ships, scattered iu
ell directions. As sll mesns of esit
wsrs ent off by the flames they wore
foroed to jump overboard and no
donbt a greet number of people were
drowoed
At the docks for the Nortb German
Lloyd were the Saale, a single screw
pssseoger ship of 4,965 gross tons ;
tbs Bremen, e twin screw psssenger
end freight steamer of 10,526 tons,
sod the Main, a twin screw freight
and paasenger ship of 12,-DU gross
tons They sll caught firo and were
**?rued to the water's edg? The
Keteer Wilhelm der Grosse, which
had just come in, wan the only one of
the four big vessels at the dock that
escaped.

Tno steamship Mam, however, w?n

Pier No. 1 was the dock of tko lUm
barg-American line where the steam*
?hip Pbceaioia, a twin screw passenger
steamer of 6,761 gross tons was doeked
1 Tbe flames got a good hold on the
Ptceaioia and she was towed out into
1 midstream eblizs.
The officials of tbe Hamborg Ameri
oan line then deotded that the only
1 way to prevent a total destruction of
' their great pier wae to blow up tbe
eide of tbe doek at which the Pbooiieia
1 lay ar.d this was done A number of
1 bargee docked at the pier also took
1 fire, jQt in the effort to sate tbe other
' property oo attention was paid to them
1 aod they were allowed to bum.
j THE STEAMSHIP MAIN.
The worse tale ?MI eome from the
, steamship Main, whioh was unable to
be towed from the pier. The vessel
, had only arrived this morning and
I some paeeeogere were still aboard, aod
, when the cry of fire was raised a num
, ber of them were eeeo to ruo to the
, burning deoks. Most of them jumped
overboard, aod, save for tbe few who
, were paoked up by tbe tags, not one
bee been heard from, although every
hotel aod hoepitil in the city of Ho
bokeo is erowded with tbe injured.
Some of tbe paeseogere of the Maio
I tried to escape to the pier, aod it wae
, almost oertaio that they perished in
tbe flat. <s. There wae a panio oo eaoh
I of the ahipe. Maoy persons jumped
i overboard, aod tbe water for some
distance along tbe doeke wae lioed
with people. Tbey were clinging to
the piers, aod even to the rudders of
the burning vessels. Some were pick?
ed sjp; maoy were drowned.
[ GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
There were hundreds of men ou
eaeb of the destroyed ateemsbips and a i
few women. Orowde of doek 1 -.borers
aod alee employes of tht oompaoiea
were oo all tbe piers Meo, women
. aod ohildreo were oo the oaoal boats
aod meo on tbe barges and ligbtere
and when the fire made ite quick de*
seent upon them eeeape wae eat off
before they reeliied their awful post*
tioo. Tbe people oo tbe piere jumped
ioto the water to eave themselvee aod
scores af msn huddled ander the piere,
elingiog to the eapporte only to be
eoffoeated by tbe flsmee or to drop baek
ioto tbe water from oibaustion
Peter Qaino, a justioe of the peace
io Hobokeo, teile a story of baring
eeeo at leaet thirty people perish. He
eaid: "t was standing oo tbe eod of
the Hamburg-American line piere and
eaw about thirty or forty peoplo o.'owd
under Pier No. 1 of tbe North German
Lloyd. They were calling to some of
tbe passing tog boata, but their appeals
were in vain, and when the flames got
near them they dived into tho water.
There was no aeatstaoce at the time
aod I believe that every one was drown?
ed or perished to the flames.
About 200 people wero rescued at
the Hamborg-Ameriuan lino pier
They were muoh overcame from ex
haustioo, but aooo revived with sttmu*
loots.
When the fire broke oat such bead
way waa gained by the time tbe Ho
boken fire department arrived that tbey
wero utterly helpless to oopo with the
flames.
New York, July 1 ?Tbe losses
sustained io tbe fire at the North
Germnu Lloyd Steamship Company's
docks io Hoboken yesterday are ooo
servatively placrd at nearly $10,000,
000 ; the loss of life, while merely
guess work at even this late hour,
will probably reaob as high as 200
and tbere are over 300 men in tbe
hospitals in this city, Hoboken and
Jereey City Up to 11 o'clock to?
night 18 bodies, eo badly charred
and dismembered that identification
will be made only by trinkets or ,
pieoee of clothing that were found
about the bodies, bad been recovered
The only way tbe steamship offi
oials have of approximating the loss
of life is by comparing tho list of
those reported eafc with the list of
the employed w| tu? eteamsbipe
Lete tonight Gustav Schwab, the
general agent ot the North German
Lloyd Line, gave out a list showing
what men on each veesel had been
missing up to that hour On the
Saale 225 men w*ro employed and
only 127 had been accounted for up
to II o'clock, leaving 128 men ac?
tually employed ae officers, sailors,
stewards, engineers, coal passers,
oilere and trimmiera to be accounted
for. The Bremen had 204 men on
board, but only 127 of these have
been found The Main had 1*57
employed on tier at tho time and of

Baron Von Ketteier
Has Been Butchered.
Attacked by Chinese Troops
and Boxers.
Little Hope is Entertained That
Any Foreigners Are Allva 1n
Fekin.
Washington, July 1.?The morn?
ing papers generally aooept as conclu?
sive tbe reports that Barou son Kette
ler has been killed and express grave
onoertainty as to whether any of tbe
members of tbe legations at Pekin are
safe.
London, July 2.?Official dispatches
by (ho ooosatar body at S hanghai, sn
express cable dated Shanghai, July 1,
says confirm in the fallest manner tbe
eport of tbe butobery of Baron von
Ketteler, the German minister, oo June
18. Tbe ambassador was riding on
Legation street when he was attacked
by Chinese troops and Boxers, dragged
from bis horse and killed, His body
was haoked to piooes .with swords.
Tbe German legation nod six other
buildings w?re burnod end a number of
servants of the legation were killed
and thsir bodies wero tbrowo into the
flamee.
Offioisl confirmation of this ghastly
business has created tbe utmost coo
stsroatioo among tbe consul generals
of tbs powers who expressed fears tbat
war 1'outraoee will be deolared against
the Pekin government. The consuls
eotertain little hope tbat any foreigners
are left alive in tbe oapital There
were 100 foreigners oonneoted with tbe
legations, 50 in the oustom boose,
English and Ameriosn tourists and
others to the number of 150 and oearly
500 legation guards.
Ths British foreign office, tbe Daily
Mail learns, has reoeived news from
the British oooaul at Cbefoo tbat Ba?
ron von Ketteler has beeo killed but
00 other information.
A dispatch to The Dispstob from
Nankin, June 30, says: "French
priests here bare reoeived reports from
Pekin tbat tbe public exeoution of
foreigoers has beeo in progress since
June 20. Tbe news comes by runners
from Frsnoh priests at Pekin who state
tbey administered tbe last rites to tbe
condemned."
Ntnkio oables datsd Sunday, say
tbat Viosroy Liu Yon Yib reoeived a
telegram from Gen. Yalu on Saturday
stating that the German minister bad
been murdered at Pekin. Ynlu wbo
esoaped from Tien Tsin also wired:
Position desperate implore your help.
Foreigo troops of eight nationalities
entering Pekin to the number of 30.
000 or 40,000 I oaonot bold out four
days."
1 Liu Yun Yib has received this from
viceroy of Yuansbikai: "Foreign
troops various at Tieo Tsin. Tbey
will ooter Pekin immediately."
Outbreaks of Boxers are imminent at
Cantoo Boxers from Ping Tu were
msrohing ou Snuday on Cbefoo. The
governor feared for tbe town and tent
to the warships for forces.
A small riot ooourrcd at Cbefoo ol
Siturday.
Fifty-two refugees who have arrived
from New Cbwang aver that tbe Boxers
have destroyed the railway north of
Porth Arthur and that all the Ameriesn
and English residents are leaving. Gen
Yosnsbibkan, oommandiog the best
foreign drilled troops in China, has
notified the German governor of Kiao
Cbou that be will not permit tbe Ger
mans's proposed expedition to Weibsieo
to rescue Cbalfont and the Misses Bow
den snd Hawes, the Ameriosn mission?
aries in tbe bands of tbe Boxers.
A correspondent in Sbsogbai learns
from official sooroe tbat the Chinese are
laying torpedoes between Shanghai and
tbe Kiing Nsn arsenal.
Agents of the Boiors are busy in
Shanghai provoking hatred of foreign
ers.
Nothing has been heard from tbe
column which relieved Admiral Sey?
mour five days ago and then prooeoded
towards Pekin ; but as it takes at least
two days to oommuuioste betweou Tien
Tain and Chefoo, there is nothing
extraordinary in this Troops are
going forward from Taku and Tien
Tsin daily, though some reports from
Taku allege tbat it will be three weeks
before a large foroe can be sent to
Pekin.
A dispatch to Tbe Daily Mail from
Tong Kq, without date, via Cbefoo
Friday, says : "It is improper any
loogor to oouoeal tho harm dooo to the
oauie of tbe allies by tho barbarities
and tho pillage of tbe Russians ou the
day of the bombardment. Thoy want ?
only snot natives and looted SVerytbing,

JAPANESE MEAN BUSINESS.
Lood >u, July 2 -?A dispetoh to Ths
Doily Mail from Tokio, dated July 1,
lays i "Marquis Ysmataga, in ths
sonrse of ?M interview regarding tho
Japanese expedition ,(? China, und it
was solely for ins resoos at ihe mem<
bor? ol ths legations, Hs express d
fear? thai the powers would bcoomo
disooitsd while formulating their
dsm i'? is.
"Visaeoni Aoki, ths foreign minis*
tor, dcolarul emphatically that the
eipulsion of tho minister* constituted a
casus bolli and that it wan impossible to
oegotiato with a government that wan
non-eiistaut It is not uohkely, ho
said, that the present rising will equal
the Tai Ping rebellion."
Shanghai, July 1 ?The Britith
consul at Cberfoo telegraph! that
Baron von Ketteler, German minister
at Pekin, was murdered by native
troopB June 18 Three legations?
it is not stated which, were still un
destroyed J une 23
The American consul here states
tbat Yu;jg Lu telegraphed June 26
tbat the other ministers were safe
that morning, tbat tbe situation was
desperate, and he doubted whether
tbe ministers couid hold out 24 hours
longer, as he and tbe empress couid
nu longer give protection.
The Situation in China Re?
ported to be "Desperate."
London, June 3, 3 30 a m.?Tbe
allies are not advancing for tbe re
lief of Pekin This announcement
to the house of commons by Wm St
John Brodrick under secretary of
state for foreign affairs was received
with exclamations of astonis. .at
and dismay.
Sir Ellie Ashmead BartieU inquired
if any information had been received
from tbe legations at Pekin or as to
the composition sod command of the
relieving force and its present posi?
tion.
Mr Brodrick read the dispatches
received today and eaid the total
allied force available is now about
13,000, sb troops have been rapidly
arriving, adding: "We do not
know what arrangements have been
made locally regarding the command
of tbe expedition, but it has not yet
been thought possible to attemp; a
further advance The consols have
been in communication with the
viceroys in the Yang Tse region aud
tbey are quite aware that support
will be given them by her majecty's
government in preserving order. It
is obviously impossible tbst tbe rep?
resentatives of tbe powers at Pekin
should be consulted, as no commuo
icstions are passing with them."
"The situation is desperate. Hus?
ten " These words from the mes
saga of von Bergen, a member of the
German legation at Pekin, counter?
signed by Sir Robert Hart, inspector
general of customs, and rented nine
days ago, are the theme of all
private comment. They are prepar?
ing for news of a frightful tragedy.
Nine days ago tbe ammunition of tbe
little garrison defending the for
signers wss running low and theij
food was necessarily exhausted,
while around them was a horde of
Rao So bravea having at their service
Krupp guns snd repeating rifles
Pekin was in tbe hands of revolu
tionists.
While nothing but sinister news
eomes from northern China, southern
China is seemingly breaking away
from the empire All the provinces
south of the Yellow river, whose
viceroys and governors maintain
friendly relations with tbe powers
through the consuls, have been in
formally constituted into a confeder
acy, with Nankin as tbe capital
According to an Express cable
from Shanghai, dated July 2, the
southern viceroys wholly disavow
Prince Tuan's government They
iav3 practically constituted an inde?
pendent state, extending from liong
Ho to the British and French
frontiers Little else to illuminate
the profound obscurity of the situa?
tion reaches cable points
Tbe Chinese wires to Cbefoo ap?
pear to be interrupted
YUNG LU'S MESSAGE
A special dispatch from Shanghai
containing another version of Yung
Lu's message is tbat it is an appeal
to tbe Tao Tai Sbong to send help.
Yung Lu is further said to have de
clared that he and the dowager em
press bad been seeking to protect the
Europeans and legations, but that
Prince Tuan usurped the imperial
power June 20, since when the
soldiers have refused to obey Yung
Lu Tbe letter is also said to have
stated tbat Tuau personally ordered

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, July 2?Republican
gall is do now thing, but a striking
exhibition of it is the attempt of somo
republicans to blow about tne $80,000,?
000 Treasury surplus for tho fiscal
year that ended Saturday. If it bad
not been for the $100,000,000 pro
duced by the war taxes, which tbe
Republican Congress refused to reduce,
there would have been a $20,000,000
deficit instead of a surplus, and even
with the war taxes unrepcaled, there
will be do surplus oext year, if the re?
publican Congress keeps up its extra?
vagant appropriations at the oext ses
sioD. There is more for the republi?
cans to be ashamed of than to blow
about io that surplus.
That Chinese puzzle ha&d't grown
any easier to solve duriog tbo past
week. Tbe Chinese Minister's news
that the foreign ministers were safe io
Pektn, has been confirmed, but with
tbe confirmation came tbe allegation
that they were there beoause tbey re?
fused to get out within 24 hours,
although ordered to do so. It is not
stated who ordered them to get out,
but it is clear that the public is desired
to infer that that it was tbe Chinese
government The news that tbe
Imperial Chinese troops attacked tbe
marines, under Admiral Ssymour, who I
lost heavily in killed and wounded, in
his unsuccessful attempt to got to
Pekin, seems also to be intended to stir
up publio sentiment in this country
against tbe government of China. In
tbe absence of Mr. McKinley, who has
gone to Canton to enjoy bis gold trim?
med bath-tub, aod other things, for sn
indefinite period, members of tbe
administration, Secretaries Hay, Root
aod Long, especially, are posing ai
beiog very eocsiderate toward the
Chinese government, beoause they do
not accept these things as war. They
are doing so muoh talkiog that they
have aroused tbe suspicion that they
are doiog it for effect and probably to
detraot attention from tbe real designs
of tbe administration in China. The
superstitions are inolined to regard the
knocking of a hole in the bottom of tbe
battleship Oregon by a rock oo tbe
coast of China, as a bad omen.
Senator Bacon pleased his many
Washington friends and admirers when
he arrived and denied tbe story 6eot
out from Maoon a few days ago, alleg?
ing that be bad been dangerously
poisoned by eating toad stools under
tbe impression that they were mush?
rooms. He says the st%ry had not tbe
slightest exouse for existing, as he has
bad no illness of any kind for years,
unless being laid up by an aooident
last winter oao be oalied sooh.
Aeoordiog to an cfthial report of
Gen. Davis, a large number of Porto

That there has been an extravagance
as well as stealing in the Cuban Postal
Service was practically acknowledged
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gene?
ral Brielow, who has just returned from
Cuba, when he said that he bad made
reductions in postal salaries while there
that aggregated (100,000 a year, and
be olinobed that acknowledgment when
be added: "No clerks have resigned
since the reduotion, because of being
ill paid, and I am satisfied that they are
now paid all the work is worth. If any
of them should resign, there would bo
no difficulty io filling their places at the
same salaries "
Boss Hanca's man Dick has no fear

prove it, he has had himself interview?
ed to the extent of half a oolumn of
hoary chestnuts. The German voter
is no fool. He oao't be oaught by such
chaff as Dick scatters around He
knows he has good foundation for his
opposition to imperialism.
