SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Denver republican: Bank cfearings last
week were 40.2 per cent above the record
for the corresponding period last year, and
preceding week of the same date since
1891. The extraordinary rise in the price
of cereals is the true explanation of the
great growth in the volume of business
Certainly the Dingley tariff bill has no
influence in that direction up to date.

THE BLYTHE MILLIONS
LIKELY TO GO TO ENGLISH
CLAIMANTS
Judge Morrow Decides That Florence
Blythe-Hinckley Has No Legal
Claim to the Estate

SAN FRANCISCO, July e.-United
States Circuit Judge w. W. Morrow rem
dered a decision in the famous Blythe
case this afternoon which was in the
nature of surprise. He ordered a de-
cree in favor of the English Blythes, as
prayed for in their cross-complaint by
default; and in his findings made several
rulings which are in direct conflict with
those of the state courts. Among other
things 1t is held that Florence Blythe
was born an illegitimate child in 1879,
when her progenitors were subjects of
Great Britain. It is further decreed
that neither Florence Blythe Hinckley,
John w. Blythe nor Henry T. Blythe
have any legal claim to the property,
and that their claims are fraudulent.
The next of kin to the late Thomas H.
Blythe are declared to be as follows:
Alexander and William Jones, James
Maudsley. Elizabeth jacques, Robert
Dover, Hannah Monk, Jane Page, James
Blythe, Elizabeth B. Page and George
Page.
Under this ruling it Is considered very
probable that Mrs. Florence Blythe
Hinckley will lose the property which
she has fought so hard and bitterly for
during the past ten years.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Seventeen ship
wrecked sailors who just arrived here
on the Prince line steamship Sandman
Prince, from South American and West
India ports, tell of a battle with that
most dreaded of all enemies at sea-
fire.
The men embarked at Barbados, hav-
ing been forwarded from there by the
United States Consul. The men belonged
to the American ship Belle of Bath,
which was burned at sea on June 1Sth
about $50 miles eastward of Barbados
Their trip is one which they are never
likely to forget.
The Belle of Bath left this port on June
I'd, clearing for Hongkong with cargo
of case-oil. All went well until June
9th, when the first weeks journey was
at an end. The ship was sailing along
in fairly good weather when suddenly
it sprung leak. Captain Curtis ordered
all hands to the pumps promptly. The
water gained upon them steadily and
every moment 1t looked as if the vessel
would go to the bottom. After twenty
four hours of constant work the water
was reduced in the hold, but the leak
could not be stopped, and the crew
worked in relays for nine days, pump
ing the water out. When the men were
almost exhausted on Friday afternoon,
and some of them were on the verge of
collapse, the cry of fire rang through the
ship. First Mate Cod detected little
clouds of smoke coming from the fore
castle and quickly sounded the alarm,
Capt. Curtis, who was below, snatching
a few minutes sleep, sprang on deck
and ordered the matches closed down.
In a few minutes dense clouds Of smoke
were issuing from the forecastle, ac-
companied by flames. The fire was soon
shooting high In the air, and, famed by
breeze, was threatening the whole
ship.
Captain Curtis realized at once that
his vessel was doomed and that to en-
deavor to fight the fire would be use
less and dangerous. Boats were hastily
provisioned. The order was given by
the captain to lower them at once. With
marvellous rapidity the flames spread
all over the ship and the men were forced
L
boats dropped away to the leeward and
the men were put to the oars and rowed
away to safe distance. By this time
the ship was blazing furnace. The
flames had reached the oil and burst
out from every part of the vessel. When
the flames had eaten their way into the
hold tremendous explosion was heard
The decks of the ship flew up, the sides
burst and great body of smoke and
flame filled the air. 1t took perhaps
half an hour to finish the work. When
the smoke died away the men in the
yawl could see the Belle of Bath had
been burned to the waters edge. A
heavy sea was running, and with every
sweep of the oars the little lifeboat was
in imminent danger of being swamped.
Under light canvas 12O miles were made
and after twenty-four hours struggling
in the rough waters, land was sighted.
1t was early Sunday morning and the
crew offered prayer for their escape.

A FOURTH FIRE
a. Small Boys Crackers Burn Hich
born's House

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July O.
Little Phil Hichborn, Jr, the 12-year old
son Of Col. Philip Hichborn, chief naval
constructor of the United States Navy,
was setting off firecrackers near his
fathers cottage at Brigantine Beach.
"A spark flew into an upper window and
soon the entire floor. built of yellow pine
and as inflammable as pitch, was in
flames
Clara Morris, a colored maid, discover
ed the fire. Her first thought was for
her young mistress, Miss Martha Hich-
born. and her guest, Miss Margaret
Tyler, Of Washington, D. C. She knew
that they were sitting on the upper
piazza. She could hear the frantic
voices of the young women, as they ap-
pealed for aid, and she mingled her cries
with theirs, butshe could not get to them
nor they to her.
Meanwhile the alarm had spread.
Every able bodied man was soon at the
scene. Charles Harris, tossing blanket
over his head, mounted the stairs and
rushed through the smoke and heat to
the piazza in front, where the frightened
women were covering Nothing but a
stiff breeze tanning the, flames towards
the northwest had prevented them from
being killed. Harris was about to seize
Miss Hichborn, when she mutely pointed
towards her guest So he picked up
Miss Tyler, faintmg and helpless with
terror, and rushed with her through the
house and downstairs. He returned and
carried Miss Hichborn to safety. Then
he succumbed himself, and it was found
that his hands had been terribly burned.
He was treated by DR.. Armstrong, who
did not think his injuries dangerous.
The sea breeze drove shower of sparks
towards the cottage of United States
Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, which
is now occupied by Washington friends
of the Senator, and soon that splendid
seaside palace was on fire. At the same
time the cottage of Captain James
Holdzkolmb and the Brigantine House
where Senator Quay goes for rest and
recreation, Were discovered to be on
fire.
The bucket brigade, which was pas
sing pals of water up from the sea, sue
ceeded in saving these two houses, but
the Hichborn house was destroyed
Colonel and Mrs. Hichborn were away
from home.
