out in a dismantled mill plant on the
Sample and Campon docks, where there
were number Of piles of lumber,
this afternoon. In twinkling, roar
ing mass of flames started on a mad
career with fury that no human
hand could check The Bristol street

stroyed. Thence the flames leaped to
the east side where were located a
large number Of buildings. Then

dozen tenement houses melting like
snow Next came the Arlington and
Curtis Manufacturing Companies, and
the company's extensive plant and an
old soap factory, which were wiped out.
Here the fire struck Jefferson avenue,
and in an hour, some of the finest res
licences in the city were in ashes. The
flames made a clean sweep north to
Emerson street and continued east
ward along Emerson street toward the
city limits. 1t cut a wide swath on
Owen, Howard, Sheridan and Warren
avenues, and other streets west st.
Vincent's Orphans Home succumbed
early but the inmates were all removed
to places of safety. The fury of the
gale carried the sparks long distances,
and the planning mill, factory and lum-
ber yard of e. German were destroyed
as well as large number of dwellings
in that part Of the city The loss will
reach nearly one million five hundred
thousand dollars, with insurance Of
about seven hundred thousand. Fully

STEAMSHIP COLLISION AT SEA

THE INJURIES WERE SERIOUS

Associated Press.
San Francisco May 2O.-A collision
between two steamers occurred last
night off Point Reyes. The steamer
State of California, while on the way
to this port from Astoria, with 100 pass
engers on board, collided with the
the steamer Whitesboro, bound for up
coast points. Fortunately the night
was clear and the vessels came to-
gether shortly after 10 o'clock, and at
a time when few of the passengers had
retired. Hence there was no confu-
sion. Considering that the night was
clear and lights some miles distant
We're visible, it is strange that the col
lision could not have been avoided.
Just who Is to blame it is somewhat
difficult to state at the present time,
and the accident will result in an in
vestigation. The Whitesboro had her
stern badly damaged and was forced
to return to port. The State of CAL
ifornia has her plates stove in from
the lHdlll W lllc SlStIdSS uCShs
1t is difficult to state how the acci
dent occurred, and the only reliable in
formation on the matter is furnished
by Captain Ackley, of the State of Cal
ifornia in his report to the Merchants
Exchange, which is as follows
"At 1920 p. M, May 10th, hauled
around Point Reyes, from one-half to
three-quarters of a mile distant; made
out a steamer headlight one point on
the starboard bow, seen with night
glass; made out the steamer burning
green lights, red light not visible; as
she neared us I gave her two whistles
to pass to left, which was duly an
swered by two whistles; put helm to
starboard, feeling assured to go clear
of her; at 1927 p. m. was struck on the
starboard side by the steamer Whites
boro, nearly head on, breaking in the
plates from the main to the steerage
deck. Stopped and lay by the Whites
boro for an hour and until signalled
all right Then started ahead at full
speed The night was clear and a
light visible for four miles"
1t will require about $4,000 to repair
the damage to the State of California,
and at least $1,000 will have to be ex-
pended on the Whitesboro.

A GREAT FINANcIER's OPINION.
Repeal of the Sherman Law VIII Not
Wholly Remedy the Situation.

Repeal of the Sherman Law VIII Not
Wholly Remedy the Situation.
New York, May 2O.-The Worlds
London special says: "Wm. Lidder-
dale, ex-governor of the Bank of Eng
land, and probably the greatest bank
ing and financial authority in the
world, speaking of the financial crisis
in Australia and the disturbed state of
affairs in the United States, said there
was absolutely no occasion, looking
over the whole world, to believe that
any large disturbance was at hand. He
thinks the worst already past. Next
fall" he adds; "the United States will
begin to get back the gold which they
have been exporting, then will be the
time for England to exercise caution
to avoid trouble"
He says the currency system Of the
United States is very defective and the
repeal of the Sherman law would not
wholly remedy the trouble. The in
crease in currency, he says. has not
been great enough to keep pace with
the population and development of the
country.

He had been complaining more or less Of
pulmonary trouble for some time, and his
conditio was aggravated by the severity Of
the winter which we experienced in New
York.
He had recently been confined to hi'

be sent to the hospital, where he could moi

services of q trained nurse. He was in the
hospital for five DAYS. but his condition be-
came complicated and fascinating, some
times better and sometimes worse,
and his ear trouble aggravated his
condition considerably and formed
into an internal abcess behind the
ear. This abcess broke internally and the
pus from it increased the difficulty of treat
meut and of saving his life. He intimately
became unconscious and never rallied from
that condition. The hospital is close to the
