passengers for some sailors charity has not
vet been disposed of. The committee, of
which Francis o, French, of New York, is
President, meets at the Savoy Hotel on
Thursday to decide how 1t shall be appor-
toned. Many of the passengers at first de-
sired to give it all to Chief Officer Passow
and six men who went ashore for assistance,
but Mr. Harris persuaded them that they
would make a great mistake singing out
particular officers or members of the crew
for special recognition where all had done
their duty so nobly.
The disaster to the City of Paris has called
forth a mass of correspondence from letter
writing Britons, the vast majority of these
illusions being protest more or less
elaborate against ocean racing. There are
one or two old salts, however, who come
forward with more practical suggestions, and
want to know why. In a smooth sea and with
all the resources which ought to have been
available in a frst-class liner, the holes in
her side could not have been wholly or
partially plugged.
SOME ANCIENT EXAMPLES.
Some of these refer to the ancient English
battleships which, battered with shot from
stem TO stern, were still kept afoat and
brought safely to port. Another suggestion
is that the pumping of the ship should not
be solely dependent upon the engine room,
but rather that donkey engines on the main
deck should be made available for this ser
vice if required. Aird, the great English
contractor, thinks that every big liner
should have in its crew man qualified as
diver, with all tine requisites of his calling.
Admiral Sir George Elliott draws the
moral from this disaster that no English
battleship should be sent ocean cruising if
dependent on steam alone He points out
the paraphernalia could be easily devised
which, while not impeding the vessel when
under steam, would enable her to keep her
course and make for port or the most fire.
quented ocean routes should disaster occur.
The Admiral saws that had the accident to
the City OF Paris happened in the Southern
Atlantic or Pacific or Indian oceans, and
the ship had drifted out of the beaten track
of steamers, she would never again have
been heard of
Meantime the illfated ship having been
examined at Birkenhead is to be sent round
to the Clyde ior thorough overhaul by
Messrs. Thomson, her builders. No report
as to her condition has been made public.

TOWN WIPED OUT.
Theresa, n. Y, Visited by n Disastrous Fire
-Forty-Two Buildings sDestroyed-Origin
Supposed to be Indendiary-

LOSSES ana insurance
WATERFOWL, N. Y, April 5.-The bust.
ness section of the village of Theresa, about
% miles from this city, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire this morning. Forty-two
buildings were burned, 20 of which were
residences.
The fire originated in the store of f. N.
Peck, which was closed by the Sheriff last
evening. There was no furnace in the
building, and, as there has been no fire in
the stove for some time, it is believed the
fire was the work of an incendiary. The
village has no fire apparatus, and help was
summoned from this city, the steamer and
firemen, however, arriving too late to be of
much service. Some of the principal losses
and insurance are:

A Significant Hint TO Stylish Dressers.

Any enthusiast over tailor-male clothing
whose good fortune it had been to drop into
the fine suits department OF Gusky's yes
terday would certainly have received a
stinglng blow to his credulence. For
throughout the day might be seen scores of
local residents of distinction selecting the
most attractive spring suits, and after the
most critical examinations ex pressing them
selves as astonished beyond measure how
perfect was the fit, stylish the cut and ele-
CANT the finish impaired to every garment.
Nor is this an uncommon occurrence, for
society seems to be becoming more alive to
the folly of longer nursing a prejudice to
frst-class ready-made clothing such as only
Gusky's are proverbial for carrying.
