A FIRE AT SEA.

In his widest fancies the author Of ''The
Wreck of the GrosvenOr" never con-
ceived so lurid a scene of horror as that
which the steamer Gellert of the Hamburg
American line presented on October %.
The only parallel which occurs TO the
mind is the case of tie Sarah Sands,
which took fire in 1857, and was burned
until she was shell. yet arrived in port
without losing life.
In the Gellert, fire. which is supposed
to have been spontaneous, broke among
bales Of feathers, fancy goods and toys.
which were being shipped to New York
against the holiday trade. This was on
Friday evening. the 20th, the ship having
sailed from Cuxhaven oil the 10th, and
being then about 400 miles from Cape
Race. The seat of the fire was under the
first cabin and the first-ca bin passengers
staterOoms on the staIboard side; the
passengers detected it by the smell of
burning rags or feathers. Still no flames
were seen, and an examination revealed no
fire; it was not till Saturday at midnight
that a Quartermaster perceived faint
glow in the throat of one of the after
entilators. The captain and officers were
and by Sunday morning the roar of the
flames were distinctly heard. The usual
measures were at once adopted. Steam
was forced into the hold through pipes. and
torrents of water poured upon the deck S
openings through hose. Smoke and flame
now began to issue from the ventilators.
All that Sunday and the Monday follow
ing the fight with fire was unremttingly
kept up. Every precaution was taken
stopped. The lifeboats were provisioned,
their crews told off ana the boats slung out
on their davits. The ventiIators were
hooded with wet blankets to stop the
draught All the after openings were
closed and kept closed until the steam
burst off the covering of the after hatch
with an explosion like thunder. The chief
danger then was that the attempts of the
crew to extnguish the fire might be de-
feated by panic among the steerage pas
sengers. of whom there were 221 ON board.
To avert this Captain Kaempff went down
to the sieerage. sat down among ths pas
sengers, spoke cheeringly TO them and or
dered a cup of coffee and a cigar. This
told on the Teutonic mind. The emigrants
said to each other, "Ach. der captain
raucht und trinkt caffee," and at LEAST
partially recovered their comrosure.
Still the fIe burned Oh. The plates OF

SCHOOL REFORM.

A very loud voice comes from Pittsburg
in protest against 1.-The school stuffing pro-
cess, which turns teachers into mere hear
ers of recitations. makes the parent the
real instructor and compels the pupil to
do an amount of night work any laborer
would protest against" The Pittsburg
movement toward reform comes from
parents. Physicians rise above considera-
tions Of personal interest to join in the
movement. There is a minority of the
Board of School Directors who would, if
they h al the power, put stop to sys-
TEN of instruction which, in the language
of one of them, requires children to do
examples in their sleep.
What may be termed the "higher educa-
ton" craze is responsible for all this over
work. There is a vague idea among mod
ern instructors that primary pupils must
be started for a university course. 1t is
understood that the San Francisco Board
of Education proposes to put the primary
grades under teachers who have first
grade certificates. None others need ap-
ply. The kindergarten graduate, aged 5
years, can only be instructed by teachers
who have all the ologes at their fingers
ends. There is more fuss-and-feathers
work done in the School Department than
iD all other vOcations combined. More
useful men have parted with their useful
ness in that field of labor than in expert
ments on fying-machines or perpetual
motion. Some of these days the discovery
will be made that child cannot be made
a college graduate in five years even under
the instruction of college graduates.

Successful Tests of the Completed

The crematory at Cypress Lawn Ceme-
terry is nearly complete and will soon De
in readiness to demonstrate the adVan-
tages claimed for cremation as means oil

In about two weeks the scattered lumber
and mortar-beds and scaffOlding which now
disfgure the beautiful building and its I'M
mediate surroundings will be cleared away
and the whole place will be In compete
order for the dedication ceremonies which
will then take place. The most important
part of the crematory-the furnaces en-
tirely finished. and is being fired up daily TO
test it in every way and famlllariZe the
employees with its workings. yesterday
heat of nearly 1900 degrees was attained,

beautiful to the eye as 1t was satisfactory
to the members of the cremation society
who were present. and were carefully es-
timating the amount Of fuel necessary 10

That the crematOry will prove satls1ac-
tory in operation can scarcely be doubted.
Mr.. 81. FL. Noble, who is specially inter-
ested in the matter. las visited all the prln-
cipal institutions of the kind in this coun-
try, and has combined all their good points
in this building as far as possible. Inc
furnace is modelled after that now in use
in Hamb burg, and is the invention OF Rich
ard Snyder of Dresden. Its system OF
draughts is perfect, and when once heated
a reverse draUght draws the fiames TO the
back that they may not come IN contact
with the car and It's occupant. The incin-
Grafton is produced entirely by the intense
heat and not by direct flames
AS there are several bodies now awaiting
cremation In the cemetery vaults, and the
belief in cremation seems steadily increas-
ing, it is probable that the cTematory will
be KEEP busy after its dedication. The
plans for the Coumbarum are near y COM
pleted, and the building will be erected in
the course of The next six months. The
funeral-car which is to be- used on the
electric road is almost finished. and it is
believed will be a great convenience in

THE GAME OF POLITICS.

The New York Sun makes a show of
calling Senator Hill to account for dec
laration in favor Of what is termed incl
dental protection. The Senator had said
that in fixing duties On manufactured arti-
cles due consideration would be given to
the difference in wages between this and
competing countries. The speech of Sem
ator Hill was in exact accord with the
platform upon which Cleveland was first
elected. In fact. until 1892 Democrats had
recognized. both the constitutionality and
the expediency of incidental protection.
But the tariff plank of 1892 declared pro-
lection unconstitutional. During the cam
palgn the Sun and other Democratic papers
contended that pure tariff for revenue
act would be greatly injurious to the in
dustrlal interests of the country. The
question now arises as to the degree of
authority to be given a party platform.
The Democratic platform Of 1884 conflicts
with the Democratic platform of 1892 The
latter, of course, is the latest expression OF
the will OF the party. but it can hardly be
haId to have the force of constitutional

WILL THE CHINESE REGIsTERa

The McCreary act may now be consid-
cred the law governing the immigration of
Chinese into the United States. The ex-
clusion act of 1888 is still In force, but it is
not possible to prevent the smuggling of
Chinese over the Canadian border. nor to
entirely close up the ports to the laborers
of that race. The registration act comes
in to complete the work undertaken by
the exclusion act. If carried out it will
deport Chinese who may unlawfuly enter
the country. It gives the Chinese who
failed TO register under the Geary act six
months in which TO establish their right to
remain in the country. Chinese who again
fail will be subject to deportation. As the
Supreme Court has declared deportation
constitutional, neither the Chinese nor
their attorneys can again plead presump-
tion that the act is violation of the
organic law Of the land.
Seemingly this is a settlement of the
vexed question of Chinese immigration.
The friends of exclusion are disposed to
accept the laws as they stand. II they
have not quite all they would like, they
have got as much as could be expected
from body of legislators large majority
of whom know little and care less about
the policy of exclusion. The constitution
ality OF deportation rests mainly upon the
opinion of Judge Gray, in which a major
ity of the court concurred. In the May
18th decision. Judge Gray said:
The right of nation to expel or deport for
eigners who have not been naturalIzed or taken
any steps toward becoming citizens of the coun-
try rests upon the same grounds, and is as
absolute and unqualified as the right to pro-
hibit and prevent their entrance into the coun.
try.
Such is the Interpretation of the law as
1t now stands. The opinion does not
emsnate from professed friend of exclu-
sion, but from jurist who aimed to inter-
pref the constitution without especial re-
gard to local interests. The opinion was
concurred in by Justices Blatc6ford,
jackson and Shiras. There were three
negatives-Justices Fuller. Field and
Brown. Justice Fields dissenting opinion
was based on the theory that as the power
to expel an alien is not specifically dele
gated to the United States by the Federal
constitution. 1t does not exist There had
been, he said, no previous assertion of
such power. with the possibl exception of
cases arising under the alien act of 1898.
But the strict construction of the constitu-
ton expressed by Justice Field would In
validate many important acts of the Fed
eral Governm ent, one of which is the use
of force to preserve the union of States. 1t
is assumed in Eastern papers that the right
to deport will be tried again when a case
arises under the McCreary act. Mean
time the act is full-fledged law and was
enacted in the knowledge that its prin-
cple, the right to deport, had been ap-
proved by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
