Shanghai, Oct. Details Of the loss
OF the transport ship Kung Pal and
the drowning of hundreds of those on
board have just been received here. On
October IA, when the steamer was
about twenty miles from Kinchow, an
explosion occurred in the powder maga-
zine, setting fire to the ship. The crew
worked with all the energy they pos
sessed in their endeavors to extinguish
the flames. Half an hour after the
magazine exploded there was a second
explosion in the boiler room, which
shattered the boilers of the ship to
atoms. The captain and the first Off
Ger were wounded by the second ex-
plosion, and were laid in a boat to be
taken ashore. Before the boat could be
lowered the soldiers on the ship made
rush for it, and so many of them
crowded in that the davits gave way
and all in 1t were drowned. There were
700 persons on board, comprising the
officers, crew and the soldiers, and 500

ers, hucksters, peddlers and citizens Of
peripatetic business, who suffered
through the vigor of moral reform war
rare this summer, are cutting rather q
large figure in the present campaign.
The man who has lost his bread and
butter through Mr.. Roosevelt's honest
reform efforts is not in a very happy
frame Of mind to listen to the reform
slogan this year. Many millions of dol
lars went out of the city this summer
Tor beer and other summer refresh
ments dispensed freely in our neighbor
cities on the Sabbath, and nearly every
branch of local trade felt the loss Sc
verely. The butcher, baker and can
dlest1ck maker" are now all conscious
that they are the owners of votes, and
that is the reason that on the question
or local option" all parties and fac
tlons In the city are so unanimous this
year.
The formal acceptance by the New
York Yacht Club of the challenge of
Mr.. Charles Day Rose, of London, for
the America cup, insures a contest for
next year. The curiosity of yachtsmen
Is now exercised as to whether there
will be new yacht built to contend
with the Defender for the honor of up
holding American supremacy on blue
water Many think that Mr. George
Gould will build a yacht to match
against the Defender. If so, an inter-
esting series Of trial races will occur
A new yacht by either the Herreshoffs
or Edward Nixon, in the hands of Mr..
Willard, might prove a dangerous rival
to the Defender. Most yachtsmen.
however, regard the chances of defeat
ing the Defender as rather slim. A
good yacht improves in speed for two
or three years, and the Defender is
likely to be much faster next season
than she was this. There is a good
prospect that the Defender and VAL
kyrie III. may meet again next spring.
Lord Dunraven seems to be really of
the opinion that his yacht did not have
fair chance, and that he can beat
Defender if given an unobstructed
course 1t is to be hoped that he will
be given the chance to prove the real
quality of his yacht. He is quite dis I,
posed now to cultivate amicable rela-
tlons with our yachtsmen, and, in the
interest of true sport, a course should
be arranged for him on some unfre-
quented part of our coast, if such ex-
lists, where even a catboat could not
Interfere, and there let him have it out
with Defender. There is no doubt here
as to which yacht will win if Defender
and Valkyrie III. meet again.

ter English pronunciation. Nine. Jan
auschek and Nine. Modjeska are in
stances in point Nobody denies thI
talent and worthy ambition of these
ladies, but really the English language
has heights and depths that no foreign
born artiste ever really masters. 1t is
idle to decry the stage while genius in
the classical drama is SO sadly lacking.
The public will readily accept the best
in the drama when the best is accept
ably presented. Meantime, the craving
for amusement will continue, and the
purveyors Of farce and spectacular non
sense will have their day, as they have
always had it.
Among the big new stores that will
mark the coming development of our
local trade is that of Siegel, Cooper G.
Co.. now being erected on Sixth avenue
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets. The immensity of this new
proposed structure, now in it's founda-
ton stage, excites general curiosity 1t
will occupy an area of 1874 by 460 feet,
readily the largest store space in New
York The building, which has been
designed by De Lemos & Cordes, will
be six stories high in the main and
seven stories in part, surmounted by
a tower $50 feet high. 1t will be strictly
fireproof in construction with exterior

applied in profusion. The roof will be
rendered especially attractive The
building will be completed by Septem-
Der L of next year. Of the Sixth ave-
nue. front, 125 feet of ground have been
secured on long-term lease, and the
balance, $40 by 1874 feet is owned by
Siegel, Cooper & Co. The value of the
entire ground approximates 100000
and the building will cost S1,75O,00 the
total representing the largest invest

in this city.

The Hotel Housekeeuer.

Whoever has happened in at his hotel
at o'clock in the morning has been
sure to notice that the lobbies are in
possession Of the scrubwoman, with
their pals and mops, their scrubbing
brushes, and their surrounding pools
OF slop. He may have seen q neat and
ladylike woman, dressed as we'll as any
guest, standing on the marble stairs,
as If to command the scene or fitting
out OF sight. That Is the housekeeper-
a parsonage of great Importance in g.
big hotel, and one whom the women
boarders make it a point to get ac-
qua1nted with, but whom the men in
the rooms do not know or meet or very
OFTEN see. There was a panic in one of
the seaside hotels last summer over
an alarm Of fire. Then the guests saw
the housekeeper In all her might, and
must have marvelled at it. At the
first scream the negro walters rushed
for their baggage and began throwing
1t out OF their windows and down the
servants stairs. The chambermaids
were all either paralyzed with fear or
noisy with alarm. Some ran about ter
rifying the guests with warnings, and
some stood still and shrieked Then
the housekeeper appeared. She was
calm. She ordered the negroes to bring
their trunks back, she instantly dis
charged the girls whom she caught
spreading the panic, and the worst
screamer Of the lot she sent to her bed
room with a threat of arrest if she
made another sound. In two minutes
the panic ceased, for she assured all
the guests that the danger was past
and the fire was out. She was a hero
inc as long as those people stayed who
had witnessed her command of the situ-
alton. To her friends she said after
ward that when she got things quieted
down she went to the scene of the fire
to learn the truth about it. for when
she said it was out she knew no more
about it than a child unborn. "An I
knew was" she said, that there was
nothing to be gained by a panic" The
housekeeper is in charge Of the entire
living part Of hotel and of the female
help, and when she is a good discipli-
marian and has a cool head on her
shoulders she is worth the good salary
that she Is sure to receive.-New York
