A FISHY SEA-YARN.
REPORT THAT THE president"
WAS PIRATED, SCUTTLED AND
SUNK.
Some Credulity Needed to Swallow
Yarn of Such Dimensions
Without Gagging.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special
dispatch to the World from Lon
don says: "While La Gascogne
was still unreported on her recent
memorable voyage, the Duke OF
Newcastle wrote letter to a
London newspaper to the effect
that when he was in America, in
1888, a gentleman informed him
that two or three years previously
an old sailor on his death bed had
confessed to having formed one Of
the crew Of a pirate vessel which
captured the Atlantic liner, the
President, which sailed from New
York in 1871, and was never heard
of again" The Duke Of Newcastle
said that this gentleman had
quoted the sailor as confessing
that the pirate overhauled and
captured the President, that every
soul on board was made to walk
the plank and that the liner was
afterwards scuttled. The Duke
has been absent from London since
the publication of this letter, but
when he returned and received the
correspondent at his town residence
he showed the utmost desire to
clear the matter up.
81 am very sorry" he said, "that
l can add little to my published
letter. Unfortunately l cannot
even remember the name Of my
informant, except that he had been
United States Consul or Minister
to Persia. l met him at luncheon
in Chicago in 1888. He told me the
story in general conversation, and
it made a lasting impression upon
my mind.
"Of course l can't vouch for the
accuracy Of the story, anyway, but
the gentleman who mentioned it,
seemed to be convinced ofits truth.
AS | remember, the port at which
the confession was made was New
Orleans, which may be some clue.
The matter will be referred to, and
perhaps my informant will come
forward with a full statement OF
the facts if he is still alive.
OF course, an act Of piracy OF
that kind was quite possible in
those days, and especially in the
case Of the President, which was
undermined.

CHICAGO FIRE.
The Central Portion of the Factory
District is in Flames.

CHICAGO, Feb. PA disastrous
fire which started about 9 o'clock
a. m. in the heart Of the west side
factory district, is threatening to
destroy a vast amount Of property.
The fire began in the five-story
brick Kaestner building, No. 245
South Jefferson street. In the build
ing were the Kaestner Knitting
Works, Pioneer Paper company
and Bach & Hertz Feather com
pany. The building was crowded
with employees and the rapid spread
Of the flames resulted in a pan
ic, in which a heavy loss Of
life was narrowly avoided. In
the panic many were knock
ed down and badly bruised.
A large number of women were
rescued by firemen, and it is
thought no one was killed. The
burning building was in the very
center of the factory district,
thanked on either side by big man
ufactories, and the streams of the
tiremen were directed to fighting
the spreed Of the flames, the KTst-
ner building being beyond help.
Despite the efforts Of the firemen
the flames spread to the south
portion Of the Crane elevator
works. Five dwellings in the vicin-
ity were totally destroyed and the
flying embers started numerous
small fires several blocks away.
A panic, probably resulting in
loss Of life, occurred in the Lancas-
ter caramel factory, on Harrison
street, several blocks away from
the fire. Two hundred and twenty
children were at work when the
flames from the Kaestner building
were seen. Some one sounded an
alarm. A wild rush for the exits
followed, the children, crazed with
terror, trampling under foot those
who fell, and several boys jumped
from the second story windows.
Help was summoned and eleven
children were rescued, unconscious.
1t is feared several of them are
fatally injured.
The most seriously injured OF the
candy factory employees are Emma
Kaustick, Ella Goldman, Agnes
Mcintyre and Bessie PaZlic. 1t is
feared by physicians that with the
possible exception OF Emma Klaus
tick, they are fatally hurt. The
fire was under control by II o'clock
and is confined to the Kaestner
building and the south portion Of
the Crane elevator works. The
total loss is 100000, we'll insured.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
A Mahncke Hotel Case of Domestic
Trouble

This afternoon at l.30 o'clock a
sensational shooting case occurred
in room No. II, Mahncke hotel.
Information was very hard to get
by LIGHT reporters, though it is
learned that man named Jim
Brown, with his wife and children,
registered at the hotel from Bee
Vile.
At 1:3O o'clock this afternoon
he came in and went up
stairs. Shortly after two pis-
toll shots were heard, and the par
ties who ran to the room
learned that a pistol had been
discharged accidentally in a
scuflle, in which the wife
attempted ito get the pistol from
her husband.
The statement is also made that
Brown came in somewhat intOyi-
Gated and his wife fired at him.
Mr.. Mahncke attempted to stop
her, when a second shot grazed his
head. No damage was done.

Free Zone.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Pin the
House today Cockrell, Of Texas,
moved concurrence in the Senate
amendment to the joint resolution
prohibiting the importation Of
goods in bond from the United
States through the free zone OF
Mexico.
Grain, of Texas, opposed the con-
currence in the amendment which
struck out the provisions limiting
the prohibition to any point be-
tween the western boundary OF the
city of Laredo in Texas, and the
Pacific coast. The amendment, he
declared, would prohibit the eX-
portation of goods through the
United States into Mexico when
the latter country abolished the
free zone. But twelve per cent OF
the goods remained in the free
zone and he repealed the statement
that the zone is the abiding place
OF smugglers and outlaws.
