AFLAME FROM BURNING OIL.

-Four Steamers and Two Warships De.
stroyed and Not a Life Lost.
BARCELONA, March 2S.-In the harbol
here a sailor on a lighter which was trans.
porting petroleum from an American vessel
20 the docks dropped q lighted match on one
of the barrels. The barrel took fire and in
a moment was in blaze. The fire leaped
from stem to stern, and the crew Of the
lighter jumped for their lives and swan
ashore OF to other boats
The lighter drifted around In the harbor
a mass Of flame, and the burning oil ran out
on the water Six vessels at anchor neal
the spot where the lighter took fire tried h
get away, but the rapidity with which the
blazing oil was blown toward them left
them no time.
The corvette Thya caught fire at the
waters edge and those Of the crew on board
had 20 get away on the other side in small
boats or jump and swim until picked up
The vessel was burned to the waters edge
and sank
The four steamers, Cassilla, Albono, Wal
Ter and Pi caught shortly after the Thyra
was abandoned Their crews had already
got away Attempts were made TO tow
them away from the other shipping and tc
bring streams Of water from other boats X
bear on them, but the oil in the harbor
rendered these attempts so unsafe that nc
volunteers could be kept at work. The war.
ship Lepanto was started from her moor
ings, but before she could get under weigh
one Of the burning steamers swung up be-
side her and her rigging caught fire.
Before this could be extinguished burn
ing brands were blown on the decks by the
rising wind and the cornman1er was stra
bic to keep the few men not absent on leave
at work fighting the flames. They lowered
the boats and escaped unhurt. The Lepantg
sank The launch Caiman also was burned
Not life was lost, although several mer
were injured while trying TO beat back tn,
flames from the Lepanto The wildesi
panic prevailed among the ships in the har
Dor, and many that were at a distance from
the lighter when II took FIRE saved them
selves only by starting seaward immedi
ately. The spectacle of the six burnin,
ships was watched by thousands on tn,

''Shadowing'' Suspected Senators.
WASHINGTON, March q. S.-Some sensation
al features have cropped out Of the senate's
executive sessions Thursday and Friday.
Vigorous efforts were made by few to
strike at certain senators who were suppos.
ed TO have given pointers 10 their news
paper friends respecting executive proceed.
ings and in doing SO they cast serious re-
hectons upon innocent employees. One OF
two senators went so far as to name James
r. Young, the executive clerk, as guilty Of
regularly giving out information for publ
cation
Mr.. Young Is one Of the proprietors Of the
Philadelphia Star, brother Of John Russell
Young and stands Nigh in his profession.
He has been in charge Of the executive pro
ceedings Of the senate for fifteen or twenty
years, and although he is a frequenter Of
Newspaper row and has many intimate
friends among the correspondents, he has
never been suspected Of giving even an in
timation Of what is done behind the closed
doors. The attack upon Mr.. Young was so
bitter and cruel that it is probable that he
will voluntarily resign. Should he resign
his example may be followed by his assist
ant, Colonel Morrow, Of Missouri, and pos
A+NAoNNAAf
ant doorkeeper, who has been excluded
from executive sessions for the first time in
a third Of a century.
A report is in circulation to the effect
that detectives have been employed the
past week to shadow senators suspected Of
'lealdng,n and they have followed the sus-
poets over the city TO notice whether they
have conversed with newspaper representa-
tives and whether newspaper men visit
them at their rooms IL is not stated
whether these detectives are employed by
the secretary or sergeant at arms Of the
senate, or individual senators who are de.
termined 10 fix the responsibility for the
sleaksn
To every newspaper man who Is aware Of
the real means by which the performances
Of star chamber sessions are secured for
public information, an accusation against an
employee Of the senate is monstrously alb.
surd. But one source Of news has been
worked and that is the senators them
selves. Il is denounced as a great outrage
that gentleman Of Mr.. Young's known in
tegrity should have been made a scapegoat.

A CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN,
During His sermon, Urges Both Sides 20
Accept Arbitration.

HOMESTEAD, PA, July ga new
movement for the solution OF the Home
stead dead lock was .naugurated today
under impressive circumstances.
The trsgical occurrence In Plttsburg,
with II. c. Frick as the victim, was
taken as the occasion for this latest de-
parture.
In the presence OF gathering made
up largely of strikers and milltiamen II
was proposed TO make a fresh attempt
at arbitration.
The proposal came from source be-
yond either party to the difficulty, and
put forward in way so unusual as 20
command marked attention.
Divine service at the principal Catho-
lie church in Homestead was at the
most solemn part when the
pastor, Rev. Father Bullion, at
tired In his priestly yestments,
who had turned from the brilliantly
lighted altar and facing the congrega-
ton began denunciation OF anarchy
and the attack upon Mr.. Frick.
Not a sound could be heard in the ed
ifce except the earnest words from the
sanctuary, so wrapt was The listeners,
In what was being said.
The clergyman dwelt upon the pleas
ure afforded all good citizens by the
fact that the imprisoned man was not
from Homestead and that his principles
were not theirs.
He declared that peacesble means
were best for both sides and the only
one that should be employed, violence
only tending 70 create an In
creased bitterness OF feeling. He
hoped TO be able soon 10 say that the
company had realized that It would be
more benefited financially, which be
assumed was the object in view, by an
honorable arrangement with the old
hands rather than IN securing the eoun-
try TO fill their places.
The strikers were urged In conclusion
10 hold themselves In readiness for an
opening toward what was the only Teas
able means for a rightiul settlement
lust TO both sides-arbitration.

Afraid of the strikers.

P1TrsBuRG, PA, July 24-The train men
of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
Railroad, which runs through Homestead,
are now holding a meeting 70 decide
whether to refuse to run the trains II Car
pegieis product is carried by the company
or TO continue work and take the risk Oh
bodily injury from the strikers.
The trainmen claim that they have been
threatened with humiliation II they do not
take sides with the strikers, and that when
a committee called upon the advisory com
mittee to inform them of the threats, they
received no satisfaction. The matter was
then laid before Superintendent Watt OF
the railroad company.
AT midnight the meeting was still in
session.
The meeting lasted until nearly one
o'clock. but no conclusion was reached
and another meeting will be necessary
TO decide the qoeston.
Superintendent Watt informed the
men who called upon him that the com
pany would insist upon the hauling oi
the freight.
The Advisory Committee stated that
while they would promise protection to
the rsilroaders, as far as their own men
were concerned, they could not be re-
sponsible for all the strikers.

GETTING ON WELL.
H. c. Fricks Condition Not at All Alarming and He
Will Continue to Direct the Affairs Of the
Homestead Mlls-Mrs. FriCk in Much More
Precayious COndtion-A New Wound Found on
Frick's Leg.

PITTsBURG, PA. July 24.-H. c. Frick
slept well during the night and rested
easily to-day. His temperature is IS
and be seems to be quite cheerful ana
confident Of his recovery.
A curious thing was that another cut
was discovered to-day, which was
missed in the examination made Satur-
day. 1t is in the left leg, just below the
calf, and has almost severed the ten
dons. He complained Of pain in the leg
but his attendants imagined that it was
of the other wounds he spoke. 1t was
OF course carefully dressed and relief
followed.
The patient has passed the day listen
ing to letters and kilograms and dictat-
ing replies. He has also gone over the
papers quite closely and discussed their
contents. 1t is the intention OF his as
sociates in the campany TO let Mr..
Frick continue the direction Of the con-
test at Homestead from his home as
they believe that the worry OF enforced
idIeness in such a crisis would do him
more harm than the work itself. Frick
himself will not hear OF any other
course.
81 said I would be back at the Office
on Monday" he declared, "but if can't
do that can at least take uD my work
here"
DR.. Litchfeld, who is in constant at
tendance at the house, says that Mr..
Frick is doing nicely, and unless some
thing now unlocked for occurs the pa
sient will be up and about in a few
days.
There is much more anxiety in the
family over Mrs. Frick's condition than
her husbands. She became a mother
twelve days ago, and has been in weak
and nervous condition anyhow. Yes
terday the papers were kept from her
and she was given TO understand that
the affair at the Office was trifling one.
This morning, however, she got hold OF
newspaper, and the effect of the
whole story thus given at once was al
most disastrous. OF course she is re-
ceiving the most anxious attention, and
the best results are hoped for.
