GREAT FIRE IN SAINT LoUIs-siT Steamboats,
Bu1ned.-Ye Yesterday morning; about 4 o'clock, says
the ST. Louis Democrat Of the 3D. inst, flame was
seen to issue from the st. Clair lying the foot Of
Biddle street:
The flames increased and rapidly spread oFer the
boat, and before long, the backened hull was all that
remained o. her. The fire communicated to the Paul
Anderson lying below, and the D. NJ. SteckWeH and
Grand Turk, above. While the four boats named
were burning the Pennsy ononga Matte
Wayne, Saranak No. 2, Sontherser, and other boats
we're cut loose, and foated down. these escaped
with the exception Of the Southerner and saranak,
which weredestroyed, having become entanged with
the wreck, which had broken loese and foated down
The Editor, which lay above the Southerner, escaped
narrowly. One Of the burning boats lodged for few
moments against her side, and she would have been
lost but for the energy and address of her carpenter
and others on board. Two or three barges were also
consumed.
The fire originated in the ladies' cabin on the ST..
Clair in which there had been fire for two weeks
This leads to the suppcsiton that it was tie work Of
an incendiary
The Pennsylvania, Matte Wayne, etc, which had
been cut loose, foated into shallow water, and were
again in their places before evening Along shore
towards and opposite the lower end Of the city, at
short distance from each other the long blackened
hulfof the wrecks seen, in ghasty rest with the
smoke rising lazily out of them, almost all day 1t
fortunate that no lives were lost, although two
persons, sleeping the roof of the S. Clair barely
saved themselves by puDging into the river.
The St. Clair Capt. Barter, was four years old,
worth about s10,o00 owned on the Ohio and pro
bably insured.
The J. NJ. Stockwell cost when new $40 600, !, in
sured III an Ohio river town for $4,000.
The Saranak, owned by Capt Willard, of St. Louis,
was an old boat of little value and not insured.
The Paul Anderson was divested Of her machinery,
and of little account insured against fire in the
Citizens Insurance Co.. St Louis, for g 800 in behalf
of Messrs Eads & Nelson.
The Sontherner was built in Mobile. and owned by
Geo II. Kirk and others. 1t was reported she was
insured in Mobile and New Orleans, but we are in
formed that it is not the case. She not insured
She was new and good boat, and cost about
s35 900 cabin was being given her.
The Grand Turk, owned by Messrs. Newman and
Obadiah Robirds, an old boat, worth about
$4,000, and not insured.
The boats burned had no freight on board and the
| total loss is from $50, 900 TO 100000

Of State, transmitting the original Journal Of te pro-

Mr. Clayton said that this report was made in an

He desired to call attention to the document because
it completely reported the ground upon which the

the treaty Of 1903, but this document dscloses the
fact that 80 far from this they excluded for the
reason that the Commissioners have nothing to do with
them. &:
He alluded to the fact that several years since, he
examined the subject when it was before the Senate
being member Of the select committee, Of which
Daniel Webster was chairman, Mr. Webster took no
part in the matter, and Mr. Clayton being second on
the committee Investigated the subject and reported
BILL which, contrary to the expectations Of many Of
JUS Trends passed both houses BY decided
but unfortunately encountered the veto Of President
Polk. Afterwards another bill similar to that was
passed by Congress and vetoed by President Pierce
but the latter veto not based upon the same rea-
sons as the former dany Senator who will take the
pains to examine the documents now before the Sem

was an error.
