had aboard Zoo tons of coal from Nor
folk, and was consigned to the Wilkes
barre pier. There are four men aboard,
one of whom James &. Cook, discovered
smoke issuing from the hold about
o'clock last evening.
The matches were battened down TO
prevent air gaining an entrance, and auger
holes bored i'm the deck. Through these
Il e men on the schooner attempted TO
fight the fire with their own hose and
pumps. 1t became apparent that aid
would have to be called, and the Proyi-
dence Towboat Company was applied to-.
The company sent the tugs Reliance
and Nat Sutton, which are provided for
emergencies of this sort. They began to
pour in water at II o'clock last night.
AS the fire continued it was deemed
necessary to sink the schooner in order
that the vessel itself should be saved.
Holes were bored i'm the hull and the water
poured in. At l o'clock the deck was
down To the waters level. The coal is
fully insured.
The deck of the schooner presented q
most lively sight this forenoon. Men had
been hard at work all night relieving each
other at periods but tired as they might
be were continuing their efforts to save
the coal and vessel with great activity. AT
the stern water was running over the gun
vale into the hold through an opening,
which had been cut in the deck. The YES

New YORK, Feb AT the meeting of

Of the Russian famine was inaugurated.
The failure of Congress TO provide the
necessary funds has not discouraged Mr..

and he urged that the East should furnish
the money for transporting it.

met here yesterday. The question OF free
transportation of flour and corn, donated
for the relief of the starving thousands in
Russia by the millers of the West and
Northwest TO the Atlantic seaboard was

WETMORE A CANDIDATE.
At Least, So Says the Boston
7" Herald" This Morning.
WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT.
"The More Cat Fights the More Cats" is
Local Republicans Comment-The
Party Outlook Exccllent-The Paw
tucket Post ONCE.

The Boston Hcrald's authoritive an
nouncement that ex-Gov. Wetmore OF
Newport is formally in the field as a can
didate for United States Senator has
naturally occasioned much talk in Provi-
dence to-day. or course the article is
written in unfriendly view throughout
and makes frequent and insulting
references to the use of soap
and 'boodle," quite in the HerGtd's
style IL also goes into ancient history to
n considerable extent, rakes up all manner
of imaginary grievances and gleefuily
prophesies woe to the Republicans in en-
suing elections.
That's all bosh," said local Republi-
can this morning. "Of course Wetmore's
in the field for the Senate IL he can get it,
It's an honorable Office which few men
would care to refuse, and can tell you
that Rhode Island would be we'll repre-
sented at Washington by either Aldrich
or Wetmore. But all this talk about
knitting is mere rubbish"
'"Then you don't think contest will
hurt the party?"
Quite the contrary. You know the
first step in Senatorial contest Is TO get
full Republican registration. No harm in
that, is there? Well, l should say no |!
And the next step is TO increase interest in
the primaries which, again, Is highly de
srable. And the next is for the Wet
more men TO elect as many of their candi-
dates as they can and for the Aldrich
men to do the same. The result
OF that Is going To be a good work
ing majority i'm the Legislature. You
know the old saying. the more cat fights
the more cats. L am not myself parti-
san of either man. As soon as | find out
which man has the least show I'm going
to hold for him on general principles, be-
cause close contest will make things
lively. You mark my words; if the de-
feated candidate takes IL good naturedly,
and believe he will, this decision of Mr..
Wetmore will help us in the spring cleo
ton. and will help us in the fall to elect"
james G. Blaine" interru pied the re
porter.
Exactly"
Upon the Democrats the announcement
had very different effect. They went
about with faces wreathed in smiles, evil
IDENTIFY agreeing with the Hcrdld's view
of the case. IL was impossible, however,
to find Republican who did not feel that
the prospect for the party, wholly aside
from the personal ambitions of certain OF
its leaders, was remarkably bright.
The Pawtucket post-office situation ex-
cites nearly rs much attention, but it APP
pears TO be conceded that exMayor Al
mon *. Goodwin is slated for the post.
