LA NoRMANDIE ON FIRE.

Although but Little Damage Was Done
1t Caused u Scare.
The French line steamship La Norman
die. from Havre. which arrived In New
York yesterday, had fire on board during
the passage It was at o'clock on the
night Of July o. The passengers were all
at dinner. and little vas known until the
next day Of the danger through which
they had passed.
Smoke was first seen issuing from The
starboard alley, about midships 1t per-
meated the state rooms and saloons. and
was soon noticed by the cabin passengers
while they sat at dinner. The stewards
who were the first to discover it, passed
the word aft. and Capt. Deloncle was
notified. Search was made for the source
Of the fire. 1t was found to be In a COM
partment in the lower hold, about midshps,
where there were stored case goods, hides
and skins. 1t Is supposed to have resulted
from spontaneous combustion among the
oily hides.
The fire apparatus was at once brought
into use, and twelve lines of hose poured
hot water into the compartment. There
was danger of the water rising too high in
the compartments, in which event the ship
would have been flooded.
Meanwhile all hands had been ordered on
duty. Volunteers were asked for to go to
the seat of the fire and learn the exact
condition of affairs. The whole crew vol
unteeFeQ 10 man. len were SeleCteu
They were led by Chief Officer Dupont.
The men who followed him were Jacques
Salon, Guinoir. Charpentier. Caro-. Calves,
Colour. Garnet, Jeffrey, Ruffel, Guervarie
and Renard.
The compartment which had to be flood
ed was about fourteen feet by seventy-five
feet, and about ten feet high. The water
had nearly reached the ceiling when the
ten volunteers reached there. During this
time few of the passengers knew what was
occurring. Tho captain passed the night
on the bridge. The fire was out at noon
on July 10.
Before the ship landed the passengers
held meeting and adopted resolutions
commencing the captain and crew for
their brave work.
The cargo will be jettsoned and an esti-
mate made of the damage as soon as pos
sible. The amount Of damage Is believed
to be slight.
The voyage of the Normandie was made
more eventful by an explosion in the coal
bunkers, which occurred on the day she
sailed from Havre. resulting in the death
of Francois Lefieur. fireman.

MARKETS FOR AMERICA.


A Bulletin Soon to BE Issued by the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The Secretary Of Agriculture will soon is
sue Bulletin No. on the Worlds Markets
for American products. 1t contains a copy
of the decree of the French minister of
agriculture, prohibiting the importation Of
American cattle from the United States in
to France. also a statement Of the tenn
pcrary suspension of the export of sheep
from the United States. owing to the exac-
ton by the French government of a GER
tiicate from United States veterinary IN
France from the United States, which shall
positively certify that none of them have
teen exposed to any contagious disease for
a period Of six weeks prior to date Of
shipment. Owing to the possibility of ex-
pcsure to scab, such certificate from the
United States veterinary inspector cannot
be given at present.
Among the most important statements
contained in this bulletin is one showing
the area, production and trade of wine in
France. A comparative statement of the
wine produced by the different European
countries in 1898 and 1894, as well as by the
United states, will also be found, which
shows that the production of wine in
France for the year 1894 was 1,O3l ,65t, SlS
gallons, while that of the United States was
but %, O00, 600 of gallons. How few realize
that on the western coast of California,
which is probably the counterpart of the
western coast of Europe with Great Britain
attached to the continent every condition
Of soil and climate can be found to pro-
duce the wines peculiar to European coun-
tries.
The bulletin also contains an important
statement in regard to the total trade OF
France exclusive of the precious metals,
as compared with the trade of the United
States, Germany and the United Kingdom.
This statement shows that the United
Kingdom has an easy lead over her near
est three competitors. and that her COM
merce is about equal to the aggregate OF
that Of Germany and the United States,
her two nearest rivals. and that Germany,
France and the United States are not far
apart, France taking the fourth rank; In
1890, 1891 and 1894 Germany occupied sec
ond place and the United States third,
while for the years 1892 and 1898 this order
was reversed with respect to these two
countries.

YACHTING PARTY DROWNED.

The "Artfst' Capsized on Her Trial
Trip and All Arc Lost.
Yesterday afternoon H. Ellsworth OF
South Haven, Mich, took his new yacht
Artist out for her trial trip. in company
with the builders, Messrs. Coats and Still
son. When about four miles north of her
harbor, about 8 o'clock, a squall struck
and capsized her.
The life saving crew went out Immediate
", and soon after the tug Mcclure left,
but the yacht was so far away that the
men were all drowned before the crew
could reach them. All that was found was
a cap, which proves to have belonged to
Mrs Stillson. The reason for the boat
sinking SO quickly was the fact that she
had great amount of ballast, which could
not be shifted, and that, being new, they
had not as yet put in any air cans to buoy
her.

venience and value"
Some Other Property Owners.
Emma L. Yoder protested against the ex-
tension OF 10th street through her lots in
Mt. Pleasant for the reason that such an
extension will take all her property but a
small triangle which is Unfit for any pur-
pose.
Maria r. Stoddard entered a protest
against the proposed extension of Columbia
road, 10th street and Wyoming avenue, as
1t would SO materially reduce her property
as to render it practically valueless.
Thomas H. and Luther Fuller protested
against the extension Of 18th street north
ward from Florida avenue to Prospect
street, and Of Prospect street westward
from 18th street. The extension, they say,
not materially beneficial to the public It
robs the owners of land on Prospect street
which was the sole inducement to them to
buy there, and forces them to cut down
their grounds at a heavy cost. They say
the extension of 18th street to Prospect,
one block. and of Prospect street to On
tario avenue, one block calls for the pur-
chase Of about $4,000 square feet of valu-
able land and the removal of thousands of
cubic yards of earth. Attention is called
to the fact that north of Florida avenue
and between 10th and 18th streets are
Champlain and Ontario avenues. From the
lay of the land these are the natural out
lets of the region to the north. A widening
of Ontario avenue on the east side and a
little detection at Florida avenue Of 18th
street to merge into Ontario avenue, would.
they say, fully meet the requirements Of
travel and traffic, would be inexpensive
and would interfere very little with private
property.

High Tolls ON the Kaiser Wilhelm
Canal.

Ship owners are loudly complaining at
the high tariff charged in the case of YES
sells passing through the Kaiser Wilhelm
canal During the first week Of July 726
craft of various sizes passed through the
newly opened waterway, and one English
steamer paid 1,706 marks in tolls. A small
steamer of 600 tons paid 1876 marks, and in
the winter it is proposed to raise the tariff
25 per cent.

thereof west of 18th street.
The Act Denounced.
Enoch Totten entered the following objec-
tons to the highway plan, so far as 1t af-
fects his property at the head of 7th street,
now used as the Base Ball Park. He says
that the proposed streets will subserve no
public need or demand, and would consume
43 Ia per cent of the whole tract. The
very proposition to lay out these streets
largely destroys the value of this property
s.The act of Congress-" he concludes, "un-
der which this taking Of property is pro-
ceeding is unconstitutional and void, be-
cause amorg other reasons, 1t creates a
burden upon the property and leaves 1t
definitely, and, therefore, in fact, is a TAX
ing of private property for public use with
out any compensation.
George and Thomas Field entered a pro-
test against the proposed boulevard through
their property in Pleasant Plains. The
boulevard is only for ornament, they say,
and If made would cut up their property,
which is now used by them for the Gull
their means of support.
Mrs S. E. w. Fuller entered a protest
against the extension of Binney street for
the reason that it would take all of her
home.
LIE Roy Tuttle opposes the extension of
S street, 22d street north of S and the
straight extension of Connecticut avenue.
He says there is no public need for the
extension of street. The extension of 22d
street would practically obliterate about co.
600 feet of ground owned by him, and is
not necessary for public convenience. Re-
ferring to the straight extension of Con-
necticut avenue, he says such an extension
would be ruinous to the property interests
he rep1 esents.
Irwin B. Linton objects to the extension
of 14th street, through land owned by Mrs.
Louisa Kuhn, because the proposed ex-
tension is not in conformity to it's present
established direction.
As to Vermont Avenue.
B. F. Leighton, attorney for Edward A.
Ballcch, trustee; James E. Johnson and
Sterling N Brown, filed a protest against
the extension of Vermont avenue, alleging
three specific reasons: First, that any ex-
tension is unnecessary; second, that if ex-
tended at all the avenue should be con-
tinued in a right line rather than detected
to the west, as proposed, and. third, that
the proposed extension is the most ex-
pensive, owing to the bad grade. The pro-
