AMERICAN SILKS.
Noticeable Increase in the Amount
Manufactured This Year.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
The expectations of those who have been
predicting a large increase in American
silk manufacture are being realized in the
enormous imports OF the raw material as
shown by the government statistics Just
issued and which indicate an increase OF
s. ZOO 600 in September over the correspond
ing month last year. while for the nine
months Of the calendar year the imports
OF manufactured silk were nearly double
those OF 1895.
There is no valid reason why. with the
same opportunities in the way OF raw ma
terial open TO US as Is enjoyed by other
nations we should not only supply our
own wants we are practically doing
now. but supply portion, at least. OF the
foreign demand as well.
And in this freedom from a tax of any
kind on raw silk for forty years lies to \
great extent, the secret OF the immense
strides made by the industry within that
time. While tariff framed for the
asowed purpose OF fostering sert-cul;ure
was in effect. hundreds of thousands OF
dollars were lost In the attempt to perform
what subsequent. events proved an ,mpos-
sibiEty. During the era % this tariff the
few mills that had gone into silk manu-
facture were obliged to shut down from
time 10 time for want of the material
which. despite the Inducements offered for
it's production. could not be turned out IN
adequate quantities.
Our manufacturer OF silk goods are
ceiling today their fabrics upon their own
reputation. shrewd buyers approaching
their superiority. Time was. however,
when the foreign label facilitated sales,
and II II noteworthy that a Massachusetts,
mill was the first TO PUT its goods upon
tho market under It's own trademark az a
domestic product. For some years silk
manufacture has been carried on nrinci-
paily along the Schuylkil valley, and at
Paterson. which n the acknowledged silk
center Of the country. having $50 mills In
operation, employing 40 workers Late
ly however. there has been a growing ten
denny on tho part % the manufacturers 20
distribute the business. due mainly 10 the
labor troubles which ;hey have had TO con-
tend against at Paterson and other towns
where silk manufacture Is the predorni-
rating business. The result Of this move
ment has shown conclusively that the In
duSiry can be prosecuted successfully
elsewhere than at established points.

SHIPPING SCORCHED AT NEWPORT NEWS.
Total Fire Loss of Two Million Dollars.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 81
A fire broke out on the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railroad company's pier No. 5
this morning, and before the flames
were checked damage to the extent Of
$2,000000 had been done. Two OF the
company's immense piers were de-
stroyed, three vessels burned to the
waters edge, a tug boat entirely de-
stroyed and eight persons injured, some
seriously.
The flames were discovered in pier
No. 5 about BIS o'clock and spread
with such rapidity that it was impos-
sible to make any headway against
them. A fierce north wind famed the
flames furiously and swept them across
the docks to pier 6. which was soon
also burning furiously. The British
steamship Clintonia, which was load
ing with oil, tobacco and general mer-
chandise at pier No. 5, was soon ablaze.
Tugs pulled her out into the river,
where an Intellectual battle was wag-
ed at terrible odds against the flames
that were raging in her inf1ammable
cargo. She was burned to the water
line by 10 o'clock tonight.
The Norwegian steamship Solveig.
which was loading grain at pier No.
5, caught. The crew managed to escape
by climbing down the hawsers to the
pier. Meanwhile the Chesapeake e
Ohio tug Wanderer, which had caught
fire, had burned down to the waters
edge The German sailing ship ]. D.
Bischoff, taking on slaves from the
north side Of pier No. 6, also caught.
The flames obtained such a hold on
her that they could not be conquered

and she went to the bottom at s
o'clock this afternoon The crew of
this vessel had a very narrow escape
from being cremated after they We're
aroused by John Anderson, one Of the
crew. The captain and boatswain We're
badly burned.
The heavy north wind and the he
roic efforts of the fire department saw
ed the large grain elevator of the Ches-
apeake & Ohio company from destruc-
ton. The fire was rapidly spreading
across the conveyers that connect the
elevator with the piers, but, with the
aid Of locomotive and an immense
chain the conveyers' supports were
pulled out, the conveyers themselves
torn down, and this danger averted.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the fire
had spent its fury and was well un-
der control The injured, so far as
known, are as follows /:
Capt. Forest, of the tug Wanderer;
slightly burned about the face and
hands. John Diggs, mate Of the Wan
derer, badly burned about the head
and arms. Capt. Kreite, of the ship
Bischoff, perhaps fatally burned, and
the boatswain Of the same vessel, who
was terribly burned about the arms
There are vague rumors of many per-
sons having lost their lives, but they
cannot be traced to any reliable source.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
company estimate their Joss at about
$3O0,OO0, which IS fully ogRered by in
surance. The total loss, including the
three ships and the cargoes, the tug
Wanderer and the merchandise on the
piers, will probably reach $2,O00,OcO.

SEVENTY
FISHERMEN
IRE LOST.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 27-The
French vessel Valiant, Capt Pierra.
bound from ST. Malo for Miquelon,
struck an iceberg on the Grand Banks
on the 18th inst and almost immedi-
ately foundered. She had seventy
three fishermen on board, and all took
to the boats, but only one of those
beats has thus far been heard from.
When it left the vessel its complement
was seven men. Three of them per.
fshed from exposure and hunger The
bodies Of the first two were thrown
overheard, but the survivors, in their
desperation, were given to cannibal-
ism, and ate the third. The boat was
picked up yesterday by the schooner
Victor Eugene, which arrived at st.
Pierre today. The survivors are in a
shocking condition, and so badly frost
bitten that their arms must be ampu-
tated.
Men forgot their brotherhood in the
mad struggle to secure a place In one
of the poor little boats when the YES
sci sank, and no heed even was paid
to dozen or more of the company
who lay dead and dying in the debris
resulting from the collision. 1t was the
survival of the strongest and the con-
test was not for long In less time
than 1t takes to tell it, the four boats
had cast off. not second too soon. for
the boats had scarcely been manned
when the Valiant sank.
1t is certain only that one boat es-
capped the whirlpool caused by the
sinking of the brigantine. The three
ether dories may have gone down, or
they may now be floating about upon
the bosom of the ocean freighted with
the dead With such haste did the
sailors escape from the sinking brigan-
tine that not only had they no clothing
with them, but they were unable to Sc
cure water and food, and in the morn
ing the seven men in one of the boats
found themselves af1oat with nothing
aboard with which to sustain life. The
three other boats are believed to have
contained about twenty men, and such
as were left on board the valiant
perished quickly AS events proved
theirs was the better fate
The fog did not lift until late the next
day, and the weather was biting cold,
while the icy spray fell over the men
unremittingly. Worn with rowing
cold and hunger, with suffering from
thirst, the seven men looked out all day
for a sail, but could see no further than
their noses, and night fell on again.
The weather cleared on the morrow and
this gave more chance for seeing some
ships of rescue, but nothing came in

soldiers and our sailors, today stood
side by side with men of fame Of al
most every nation of the earth and
paid, without regard to race or creed,
or party prejudice, the last and long
delayed honor Of the living to the
dead, while the greatest throng that
ever filled the city of New York added
it's surging pean to the roar of belch-
ing guns and the tramp of marching
soldiers. And in that throng there
was no North, no South, for since the
ier-president had said: Let US
have peace" the gray had blended
with the blue.
Before the presidential party left the
city to take part in the dedication
