M'LEoD AND MORGAN
Come to Terms and Arrange "a Treaty of
Peace.

NEW YORK, February 2s.-A special to
the Evening Post from Philadelphia says
SIT is learned here this afternoon that
Mr.. Mcleod and j. Pierpont Morgan
have come to terms. The dispute which
arose between them, it is said, was ami
cably adjusted yesterday. No details
are obtainable. 1t is reported Mr.. Nor
gan has made deal with the syndicate
which controls the New England, and he
will have voice in its management.
This cannot be confirmed. A banker
who stands close to Mr.. Mcleod, stated
today that there is considerable doubt as
to who will be made president of the
New England. He added that while the
Reading will not be in position to enjoy
the same privileges in New England as
heretofore, it would have the benefit of

A HARD VOYAGE.
The Il. A. Matthew's Nineteen Days Trip
from Baltimore to Halifax.
Especial to the Press.1

Especial to the PreSS.l
HALIFAX, N. S., February 28.-The
British steamer B. F. Matthews, Captain
Stewart, from Baltimore for Rotterdam,
has arrived, having been 10 days out
from the former port. She had terrific
weather from the time of leaving, and
was only four days out when her high
pressure engine, cylinder, piston rod,
etc., broke down. AS they still had the
low pressure engine to assist them in
proceeding, they decided to make for
this port for repairs, and for Is days they
have been struggling to reach this port.
Captain Stewart says they experienced a
succession of westerly and Northwestern
ly gales, only occasionally moderating.
During the few hours the weather was
favorable they would average five knots
an hour. But as soon as it
would blow again and the seas would
rise they would come down to one and
two knots per hour and when the seas
would reach an unusual height they
would be obliged to heave to. This 90

effect was shown almost in moment.

LARGE FIRE THIS MORNING.
The Silyersmith Establishment of Stevens
& WOodman Gutted.

About quarter past one o'clock this
morning as Mr.. callahan, of the cutter.
was making his way along Commercial
street to board his vessel he noticed a
light as of fire in the third story of the
block on the corner of Fore and Union
streets, owned by Rufus Durham, and
occupied by Stevens, Woodman & Com
pany, silversmi hs. AS soon as he could
reach a box he pulled the alarm, and the
fire departmental once turned out The
Chemical was first on the ground by a
long lap, the snow-laden streets serious
ly impeding the progress of the wheel
engines.
The Chemical men burst in the door
of 444 Fore street and made for the
flames, but found the affair too much for
them. As soon as the other engines ar
rived streams were put on. By that Time
the fire had made considerable headway,
the interior of the building was all
aaame, and as the net work OF telegraph
wires interfered with the placing of lad
ders the firemen found much difficulty
in gaining the mastery. An explosion
of some chemical used in the silver plat
ing room drove them back for a moment
The ground story, occupied until within
a month by M. A. Jewell, grocer, blazed
furiously, perhaps because the floor was
soaked with oil.
At quarter to two second alarm
was sounded, and after a little time the
rest of the department reached the scene
and the stubborn fight was renewed with
the aid of these reinforcements. The
fire died hard. When it reached the
Nansard roof, which was practically a
tinder box, there was no staying it until
the roof had fallen in. The flames shot
high into the air, making pretty sight
to those who had no dollar there. By
three o'clock the fire was apparently un-
der control, though the fight went on for
some time longer. The building was
about gutted.
The establishment of Stevens 6
Woodman is the largest of its kind (sil-
yer plating and brittania ware) this side
of Boston, and doing one of the largest
businesses in New England. Apparently
the stock and machinery are ruined and
the loss cannot well be less than ten

At the time of going to press the fire
was still burning.
