BALTIMORE. Sept s.
Captain TAYLOR, OF the steamship William
Crane. plying between Baltimore and SavMl-
nah, arrived AT this port Thursday morning,
and reports having had most frightful eX-
perience with fire while at sea. The steam
ship was loaded down with cotton and tur-
pentne, and on Tuesday morning about two
o'clock the passengers and crew were
awakened by the cry of FIRE. Leaping
from their beds and proceeding on deck, it
was soon learned that the cotton in the
hold was on fire, About three hundred
barrels Of tlwpantinc were on hoard near
the burning cotton The greatest excite
ment prevailed. The lady passengers faint
ed, and lay as ii dead upon the deck, while
the men and crew were put to work at the
pumps. 1t was not until nearly four O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon that the fire was
gotten under control During that long pc
Rod of fourteen hours not vessel was
sighted, and several times the hope Of being
saved was given up and preparations were
made to leave the ship in boats. At last,
after throwing overheard 500 bales of cot
ton, l10 barrels of turp2ntine, and large
quantity of merchandise, the fire was eXtin-
guished. The loss is estimated at S25, 900.

trustees will lose money. Beecher is not
popular here. His former utteranees on the
Chinese question alienated the sympathies
of the people on this coast, and in a pub
lished interview Thursday on the same sub
ject he expressed opinions which will tend
to increase his unpopulnity. lIs says:
" The treatment the Chinese have received
on this coast is shameful and ridiculous.
While all the rest of the world Is adopting
the most liberal and advanced course in the
matter Of freedom, here is little strip of
western country insisting upon the narrow,
selfish policy of exclusion which policy
China itself long since abandoned"

This grand September weather gives
promise that, notwithstanding one of the
most evenly balanced summers ever en-
iOyed, the best is yet to come. With
health, universal peace, brnnliful crops

lacking to add to the happiness and com

has been nothing to mar the good year

THROUGH THE RAPIDS.
A Miniature Maid of the Mist Sent
Through the Whirlpool Below
Niagara Falls.

New YORK, Sept. 3.
The Herdld'S Buffalo special says: The
imitation of the old steamer Maid of the
Mist was sent through the whirlpool rapids
below Niagara Falls Thursday afternoon in
the presence of 10000 spectators. Excm-
siOns were run on all railroads centering at
the falls, both from the States and Canada.
There was much criticism on account of the
whole affair being turned antO an adj
vertlsing medium. 1t was said that the
scheme was gotten up for the benefit of the
hackmen and hotel-keepers, but the adver-
Using privilege of the boat was bought by
patent medicine dealer Of LOckport. The
little craft was rugged mp to represent the
original Maid of the Mist, which was piloted
safely through the rapids in 1861. At 1920
D. m, Buffalo time, the boat was lowed out
into the stream and cut loose at about the
point where Captain Webb started on his
fatal swim. She went swiftly down the
stream and when reaching the rapids was
dashed about like a small boat in rough
sea, but kept her course safely through,
careening and turning around several times
She reached the whirlpool in about three
minutes from the time she struck the rough
water Then she f0ated around and gradu-
ally worked to the Canadian shore, remain
ing i'll the whirlpool about twenty minutes.
After reaching the shore She was secured
and her flags taken Off, after which she was
pushed out into the stream and flOated down
the river some distance when she was taken
in tow by some boys and tied up at the
