My friends, do not know how we are going to stand it-I mean the full thrush of that splendor. Last summer I saw Moscow, in some respects the most splendid city under the sun. The em- perOr afterward asked me if had seen it, for Moscow is the pride of Russia. 1 told him yes, and that had seen Mos COW burn. l will tell you what meant. After examining nine hundred brass cannons which were picked out of the snow after Napoleon retreated from Moscow, each cannon deep cut with the letter ON" l ascended the tower of some two hundred and fifty feet, just before sunset, and on each platform there were bells, large and small, and l climbed up among the bells, and then as l reached the top all the bells underneath me began to ring, and they were joined by the bells of fourteen hundred towers and domes and turrets. Some of the bells sent out a faint tinkle of sound, a sweet standardization that seemed to bubble in the air, and others thundered forth boom after boom, boom after boom, until it seemed to shake the earth and fill the heavens-sounds so weird, so sweet, so awful, so grand, so charm ing, so tremendous, so soft, so ripping, so reverberating-and they seemed to wreathe and whirl and rise and sink and burst and roll and mount and die.
 When Napoleon saw Moscow burn it could not have been more brilliant than when I saw all the fourteen hundred

FIRE ON AN OIL SHIP.
The Lydia Gives Bergen Point Big
Scare.

The gigantic oil refineries at Constable
Hook were threatened by another confia-
grafton Yesterday and the employees were
given big scare. The Nova Scotia ship
Lydia was being unlosded with petro-
leum at the Standard docks. Soon after
nine o'clock blaze was discovered in the
cabin.
The Tug Boats Highbridge, Captain
Reagan, and Adelaide, Captain Wallace,
responded to the alarm and the burning
vessel was towed into the middle of the
Kill-von-Kull, and anchored off Sailors
Snug Harbor.
In the meantime other tug boats
steamed quickly to the burning vessel
and lent assistance in subduing the blaze.
The matches were battered down over
the forward hold, in which were 5000 bar
rels of oil. and every effort made to con-
fine the blaze aft. The score or more
streams brought to bear upon the fire
finally effected this purpose. After two
hours hard work the flames were
drowned out.
While the fire was at its height the tug
boat Highbridge took off the effects of the
crew, who deserted the ship while she lay
at the dock. In the afternoon the vessel
