BURNED AT SEA.
Steamer Alexandria Totally De-

Steamer Alexandria Totally De-
stroyed and Two OF the Grew
Lost.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Information has
been received today from Matanzas that
the Ward line steamer City of Alex
andria has been totally destroyed by
fire. The City of Alexandra left New
York Oct. 25. She had discharge d her
cargo at both ports and was scheduled
to sail for this port from Havana. She
was an iron vessel. three decks, and had
a gross registered tonnage of 2,914.
She was officered as follows: Z. w.
Hoffman, captain; E. P. Buck. first
officer; William Field, second officer;
r. Bowen, purser; G. A. Poole, assistant
purser; t. Linden, senior quarter
master; W. Rosenbuns, assistant quar-
termaster; j. ". Reed, boatswain; g.
Erricson, carpenter; j. A. Godine and
q. Porter, cadets; d. &. Lynch,
chief engineer; E. Murray, first
assistant engineer; o. NJ. Gee, second
assistant engineer; j. d. jennings,
third assistant engineer; ". Stroh-
meyer. steward; II. Hense, sec
ond steward; n. Clark, chief cook:

baker; Mrs. Carter, stewardesS. At the
Office of James E. Ward & Co. only
meager information concerning the loss
of the City Of Alexandria could be
obtained. The company has received
only the briefest of cablegrams from
Havana announcing the disaster. 1t is
| reported that Randolph W. Bowen. the
| purser of the City of Alexandria, and
Mrs. Carter, the stewardess, are lost.
Mr.. Hughes, of James E. Ward d Co.,
| said: 1.-The fire occurred some time
| last night, when the ship was midway
| between MatanZas and Havana. The
| distance between the two ports is only
| about forty miles, so the Alexandria
| could not have been very far out to sea.
! There were no passengers on board at
| the time, as the ship was on her way TO
| Havana to load and take her pass engers
| aboard.
1--WE do not positively know, but we
| thing that the purser and stewardess
are lost. When the officers and crew
| landed at Havana this morning within
| the wharf, neither the purser nor the
| stewardess were among them, nor
could they be found. No others appear
| missing, and, as there were no passengers
| aboard at the time, we think this is the
| entire loss of life.
"The Alexandria had no cargo aboard
and must have burned like tinder,
| though how an iron ship could go sc
| quickly is not explained. She was one
| of the best of our ships. and was valued
at 100000. She was fully insured il
| English companies"

OBJECTS OF THE ORDER.
Principles of the American Pro-
tectiYe Association Set Forth.

tective Association Set Forth.
WASHINGTON, Nov. MANY con-
gressmen today received a card from
the American Protective association
setting forth its objects as follows:
First-The American Protective asso-
citation is organized for the purpose of
purifying politics; is noI-sectarian
and non-partiSan organization, com-
posed only of true American citizens,
without regard to nationality.
Second-While we unite to protect our
country and its free institutions. we at
tack DO mans religion so long as he
does not attempt to make it an element
in political power.
Third-Our aim Is to preserve and
maintain the government of the United
States and the principles of the Declar-
alton of Independence as set forth by
the founders, against the encroaeh-
ments of all foreign influences.
Fourth-We regard all religio-politi-
cal organizations as ihe enemies of civil
and religious liberties.
Fifth-lt is, in our opinion, unsafe
and unwise TO appoint or elect to any
civil or military offices in this country
men who owe supreme allegiance to
any foreign king, potentate or ecclesI-
ooblCdL pOWC1. VI VIM dlC ShOAu W OUSS
such power.
Sixth-We are in favor of maintain
ing one general, unsectarian free school
system. and will oppose all attempts to
supplant 1t by any sectarian institution.
We are opposed to the use of public
funds for any sectarian purpose.
Seventh-We are in favor of chang
ing our immigration laws in such a
manner that they will protect our citi-
zen laborers from the influence of pau
per and criminal labor. which through
the lnstrumentality of European propa-
gandist societies is rapidly supplanting
our free and educated American citi-
zens in every line of industry; but we
do not oppose honest and educated
immigrants who come for the purpose
of becoming American citizens, and
who will forswear allegiance to all for
eign potentates and powers.
Eighth-We are in favor of putting
into Office honest and true patriots, who
| are qualified, and who owe allegiance
only to the stars and stripes.

watch and satchel containing a few
trinkets lay beside him. In blank
book was a card on which was printed
Matthias Renner. and the fly of the book
had the same name written in pencil
twice. These are the only things which
could possibly lead to Identification.

From this statement the expenses for
taking $4,000 i'll insurance premiums is
$1,000, or in other words it takes nearly
half the premiums TO pay running ex-
penses OF the company, while the other
half is paid for losses. The secretary
claims to get only $3.50 per year salary,
and somebody must be getting big
rake-off. Compare, for example, this
showing with that of the Acton Fire
Insurance company, with it's 100000
of insurance in force and S1722. 600 new
ming expenses during 1892 were less
than $500, and still lus regulations re-
quire that all three of its head officers
must make personal inspection and
survey of each risk taken. 1t looks
very much as If the Montevideo COM
pany were being run for the profit there
is in it to officers and agents.

Everybody who witnessed the trial
will admit that the girl was so
worked up through excitement, in
the court room, that she did not
know what she was saying most of
the time.
The LIGHT, as usual, is in for
fair play, and therefore gives Mrs.
Hoffman the benefit of her state
ment in order that the public may
hear her'sid Of the question. The
evidence, however, is certainly
against her, and quite contradic-
tory to her statement. Miss Ham,
mond made definite and distinct
charges, made them on oath, and
they were in no way controverted
by the defence. If the facts were,
as given by Mrs. Hoffman, alias
Wandell, alias Elliott, ETC., why
were they not adduceG and proved
in court? 1t will be noticed in the
interview that Mrs. Hoffman, ETC.,
makes no reference whatever to
Parker. although he is accused of
accomplishing the girls ruin with
her connivance. This is strange
and speaks far louder than words.

NO OPINION RENDERED.
City Attorney Levy Opposes Further
Bonding the City.

Last night Mayor Paschal, City
Attorney Levy and Lawyer Den
man returned from Austin, where
they went to consult the attorney
general, as to whether or not the
$4,000 notes, recently voted on
by the taxpayers, would be con-
sidered a part Of the bonded in
.debtedness Of the city, and whether
this sum would be included in the
s per cent of the assessed Valua-
ton, which sum the city is allowed
to be bonded. The attorney gen.
eral was not in the Capital City,
but the matter was submitted to
his assistant, and it will be some
time before an opinion is rendered.
A reporter for the LIGHT called
on City Attorney Levy this morn
ing, and he said:
While the other city officials are
of the opinion that the notes are
not bonds, | am, and think that
they will be considered as part of
the bonded Indebtedness of San
Antonio. Now, if they are or are not,
the bank will be willing to accept
them. But / most emphatically
protest against bonding this city
for the current expenses and will
so oppose any steps taken in that
direction"
