BARON HARDEN-HICKEY'S ISLAND
HOME ATTACKED.
Work OF Procuring Subjects For the
Self-Made King, Which Has Been
Going on in New York, Will Be
stopped.

New York, June 27.-The Herald
says: There are well-defined rumors
floating around in diplomatic circles
that the homemade island kingdom of
Baron Harden-Hickey, in the south
Atlantic ocean, has been seized by
England.
Baron James A. Harden-Hickey is
son-in-law of the Standard Oil million
aire, John H. Flagler. He was born
in California IL years ago, has been a
Partisan editor, but was exiled from
France on account of a cartoon. 1t
was on one of his many voyages that
the baron discovered his Kingdom,
Trinidad l." There were no inhabi-
tants there when he first found the
island. In the spring of last year the
baron raised mis- flag and proclaimed
himself the lawful ruler. His agents
IN the United States began to rally
recruits around the royal standard.
Currency and postage stamps were
printed, laws were made and a navy
was secured in the shape of an old
bark, which, when not employed in
defense of Trinidad's solitary port,
carried the mails over to Brazil King
Hickey was and IS a Buddhist, and he
tried TO pattern the kingdom on the
principles of the gentle Gautama He
instituted the 'tOrder DecheValier" for
his subjects and ordered a supply of
gay golden crosses, with which to
recompense letters, arts, science and
industries.
The next news from the little king
dom of Hickey will be awaited with
anxious interest by many peonIe in
New York, and the work Of procuring
subjects for the seh-made king, which
has been going on in this city, will be
stopped until some definite informa-
ton is received

One Death.
One death is reported. A Miss Gill
roy, while attempting to save some OF
her belongings, was covered with burn
ing oil and burned to death. A num-
Der of people have received injuries
from falling walls and flying timbers.
The people in the fire district are
panic-stricken. Most of the people are
of the poorer classes and are making
determined efforts TO save their small
belongings. Express wagons and drays
are at a premium, and people are
moving out blocks away from the ire.
Probably 100000 people are gathered
a the fire, and the police are poWerleSS
to keep them away. The fire is so hot,
however, that the unmanageabie crowd
does not get near enough TO be in
serious danger.
Under Control.
$50 p. m.-The fire department Of
ficialS pronounce the fire practically
under control. The wind has shifted
to the southwest, driving the flames
back over the burnt area. The limits
of the fire are now confined to the
territory. The flames are now within
a hundred yards of the railroad yards
and offices, but it is not anticipated
they will be destroyed. Over one hun
dred families have lost their homes and
all they possess. A large number Of
horses were burned in their stables.
Wind GOdsend.
The changed wind and the big brick
wineries and the railroad offices were
what saved the day for the flremen.
The flames were checked by these
structures and the firemen had a
chance to do some work. Now that the
fire is going back over the burned ter
ritory the firemen are paying no atten-
ton to it, but are watching the big
buildings that seem to be in danger.
1t is not believed that the loss will be
as great as first estimated. Probably
two million dollars will cover 1t. 1t IS
nearly all total loss, however. as, ow-
ing to the dangerous district, insurance
rates have been so high that insurance
was almost prohibited.

said it would be useless to take up the

ON A PAR.

Mr.. John M. Forbes, well-known Bos-
ton ship-owner, is reported as saying:
We ask no subsidies or bouDtes. but only to
be put on a par with the foreigner, whom we
have been so long protecting.
Putting American ship-builders on par
with foreign shp-builders would involve
supplying him with labor at foreign rates.
Not only must the American rates of
wages in ship building be reduced TO the
foreign standard, but the wages of the
men who load. discharge and man the YES
sell. And when this is accom- plished we
have TO persuade foreign countries to re-
duce compensation for mail service to the
American basis. The lawmakers of our
nation seek to equalize conditions in
respect to important industries through
the power placed in their hands. They
cannot raise wages in foreign countries,
but they can 10 most cases impose tax on
foreign products that will increase their
cost in our market to equality with the
