a BIG SHIP AFIRE-
The General Knox Destroyed at it's
Wharf in New York.

New York, Aug. 18.-The spec
tacle of full rugged ship destroyed
by fire was witnessed almost in The
heart of New York this morning
from half-past 3 to 10 o'clock. The
General Knox, of Thomaston, Me-,
which was about to sail for San
Francisco with a cargo of general
merchandise, including turpentine,
rosin and creosote, blazed and
smouldered in her dock, alongside
Pier 10, East River, despite the
best efforts of q third Of the New
York Fire Department. The total
loss to her owners and agents from
the partial destruction of vessel
and cargo is expected to reach
100000.
At 3:15 this morning Captain j.
G. Libbey, who, with his wife and
three children, first and second
mates, steward and ship carpenter,
was sleeping on board, awoke to
smell smoke in his cabin. Stimuli
taneously Patrick Murphy, the
WdICnnldn Ou Gil IL, sd" oLiOhAS
coming from the vessels ventilators
and yelled fire.
At % a huge column of smoke
burst suddenly through the main
hatchway. 1t rose in a straight
| black line twice as high as her
masts, and the wind caught it and
spread it like a thick curtain over
the southern part of the ci'., almost
to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Scalded by the steam and blind
ed by the smoke, the fremen
worked in patches, each relieved at
the end of six minutes, and so, STEP
by step, the fire was fought until
the smoke gradually decreasing in
volume, the flames disappeared al
together, and about 10 o'clock De
putty Chief Reilly, after six hours
hard work, was able to announce
the FIRE as being under control.

The Mexican Government has
signed a contract with NJ. Eliseo
Julio for the creation of two lines
of steamers, to commence business
in two years time. One line with
three boats) will run between
Mexican Gulf ports with privilege
of extension to the United States
and Europe, and the other (also
with three boats) will run between
ports of the Pacific, and can be
extended to United States and
Central American ports.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The British
Government is testing a new plan
for signalling at sea which has
already yielded remarkable results.
It consists merely of an ordinary
gong fastened to the bow of a ship
below the water-line. This acts as
a transmitter, and the receivers are
gongs of exactly similar tone and
rate Of vibration, one on each side
of the ship below the water-line.
The receiving gong will take up
and reproduce the sound of the
sending gong from long distance.
Already signals have been clearly
transmitted ten miles.
