men will enter the ring carefully trained
for a severe contest. In anticipation of
a hard encounter with Smith, Choynski
has been working with Tom Sharkey at
Newdrop, S. l., and has developed quite
a knowledge of rough tactics. Smith
has been training at Sheepshead Bay
under the direction of Pete Burns who
prepared Maher for all his fights.
Dan Lynch, manager of Sharkey, gave
some interesting information to-day re-
garding the MaherSharkey bout. He
said the articles of agreement provide
that the bout is to take place in New
York between the 1st and 10th of June,
for purse of $15 900 offered by William
A. Bradley. Bradley has posted a
50, 500 forfeit, and in case he fails to
bring off the bout in New York City.
the So 800 is to be equally divided be-
tween the two pugiliSts.
Jimmy Colville of Boston, who was the
time keeper in the ttFitzsimmons

realization of the horror below made
him desperate.
He rushed to the stairs and boldly
attempted to go below. He did not get
down more than half a dozen steps
when the flames drove him back. He
stepped back to the shelter of the pi-
lot house. His face was scorched. His
eyebrows We're burned off, He stood
there dazed and overcome for a mo-
ment. Then he exclaimed:
My God, no man can so through
that and come out alive!'
When the steward aroused me
jumped up hastily and dressed. l ran
forward to see how extensively the fire
was. The Captain was just coming out
of the companion-way after his fruit
less effort to go below. l stood by and
tried to look down, but the heat and
smoke drove me back.
When l looked down into the hor-
rible hole, the thought came over me
like it had over the Captain and crew
that there We're helpless people down
below, who We're probably burning TO
death. | tried to peer through the
smoke to see if the steerage passengers
We're running around below, and l
hoped that we would be able to reach
them in some way. | listened, but |
could hear nothing save the roar of
the flames below. There was not a
scream, not a shriek-no signs of life
below
ION deck there was only the hOarse
shouts of the Captain and the hurry
and hustle of the crew as they rushed
about laying hose and pouring streams
of water down the companion-Way and
through the open ventilators.
During the excitement of the first
hour we did not know that any one had
got out of the steerage alive, but later
we found in the cabin that eight had
gotten out Their hunks had been
nearest to the companion-way, and
they had been awakened by the crew
rushing out of the forecastle. The fire
crept up through cracks about the pi-
dollhouse, and then into the house it
self. The quartermaster stuck to the
wheel until the flames almost envel-
oped him. Captain Wilder ordered sig
nal lights of distress burned and in a
very few miutes there was flashed in
the darkness to the northWard an an
sWering signal. 1t came from the City
of Augusta of the Savannah line, which
came alongside about daybreak.
The passengers were all trans
ferred to the City of Augusta in safety,
and the work of fighting the fire was
continued. About 9 o'clock in the
morning the flames were under control
and the steamer out of danger. The
passengers We're sent back to the Lee
ona, and the City of Augusta contin-
ued on her way to Savannah. The Le-
ona put about and returned to port un-
der her own steam"

TOOK FIRE AT SEA.
THE SHIP FRANCIS BEACHED
AND BURNED.
The Captain and Grew Forced to
Leave the Vessel With Only the
Clothes on Their Backs.

BEACH HAVEN On. j., May g.
The full-rigged ship Francis of New
Bedford, 112 days from San Francisco
for New York, with a general cargo.
caught fire in her hold while off this
coast yesterday afternoon. She was
headed for the beach, where she struck
at 8 O'Clock last night, five miles from
this place. Her Captain and crew were
safely landed by the Little Egg Harbor
life-s saving crew. The ship will prove a
total loss. Efforts are being made to
save some of her cargo.
The fire was first discovered about
o'clock in the afternoon and was burn
ing fiercely in the hold. All hands We're
ordered on deck and the pumps manned
to extinguish the flames, but they had
gained too much headWay. and it was
as much as the men could do to prevent
the fire from spreading so rapidly as to
necessitate their taking to the boats on
the open sea. The Captain saw that
his only hope lay in reaching shore
where he could possibly have a chance
of saving the ship and part of the
cargo With this end in view, he head
ed the Francis toward the beach, while
the crew kept pouring water into the
hold 1t was we'll after dark, and the
position of the men on board was peril
Gus in the extreme.
With her bow pointed we'll on the
shore the ship struck hard and fast.
Meanwhile the fire was raging even
more furiOusly than before, and all
hands were forced to leave with moth
ing but the clothes on their backs.
They were assisted in reaching shore
by the life guards, and We're supplied
with needed clothing and nourishment.
To- day the tugs I. j. Merritt and North
America arrived and endeavored to put
out the fire. They were unable to ac-
complish anything and finally gave up.
The Captain and Mate left on one of
the tugs for New York, and the crew
will go by train on Tuesday.
Captain Smiths wife died at sea on
the outward trip of the ship He had
the body embalmed and sent home by
train. 1t awaits his arrival in Boston
The Francis is a full-rigged ship of
,914 tons burden. She was 122 days
out, and experienced no unusual
weather throughout the voyage The
origin of the fire is unknown.

KING GEORGE CONSENTS
TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF GREEK
TROOPS FROn CRETE.
Startling Revelations Regarding the
Retreat of the Army From
LariSsa.

LONDON, May 9-The Times cor
respondent at Velestino says: When the
troops here heard of the retreat from
Pharsalos they pronounced it be-
trayal. Certainly it is unfortunate that
Crown Prince Constantine should a sec
ond time be obliged to begin a retreat.
The Athens correspondent of the
Times" says: SO great is the change
in public that no opposition whatever is
provoked by the decision to recall the
army from Crete. King George, who
was believed to be unapproachable on
this subject, has finally yielded with
good grace.
The journal Akropolis" publishes
some startling revelations. 1t sent q
correspondent to Pharsalos to investi-
gate the cause of the retreat from La
rissa and he was allowed to question the
members of the dismissed staff. With
out exception they denied they had re-
fused to carry out the orders of the
Cabinet, save on one occasion. when the
Government wished to remove some su-
perior officers from their commands. On
all other occasions the staff was in COM
plete harmony with the Cabinet.
The Ministers had, indeed, ordered the
army to remain on the defensive, but
the staff considered that a defensive po-
sition would be most effectually secured
by advancing to certain points. The Of
ficers positively denied giving the order
for the general retreat from Mali and
declared that they were not responsible
for the abortive attack on Menexa. They
explained that the retreat began with
wholesale desertions from the division OF
Colonel Mavromichalis, facing the
Turkish position at Dereli. Then the
panic spread the staff was powerless to
check it. and a reorganization to defend
Larissa was impossible. NJ Rall came
to headquarters during the night and
begged the staff to save the army
With reference to the retreat in
Epirus. the papers print the following
extraordinary telegram from Colonel
Bolzari: 1T is a disgraceful slander to
say that l ordered the retreat My bri-
gade has advanced victoriously to the
gates Of Janina. Why it retreated is
question for a court-martial to decide,
and the guilty parties should be pun
ished with DEATH"

ATHENS, May 9-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press learns on
the very best authority that Greece has
made a written application to the Pow
ers through their representatives at
Athens with a view of obtaining media
ton. All the representatives have prom
ised in their replies to use their best Of
fees except the German Minister, who
has merely acknowledged the receipt of
the note from the Cabinet. The Porte
is inclined to support the Powers, with
a view to the faciitation of negOtia-
tions, but it declines to consent to an
armistice, on the ground that this
would enable Greece to reorganize her
forces.
AS a matter of fact, Turkey cOntin-
ues to send troops from Salonica home
ward, and it is probable that Osman
Pasha has returned to COnstantinople
from SalOnica. In view of both facts 1t
may be assumed that nothing serious
is expected, but the continuance of a
state of war is regarded as the very
best means of Fastening the efforts Of
diplomacy. Without doubt, hopes have
been raised in Turkey that the Ottoman
Government might annex Thessaly and
restore the old frontier Of 1881, but the
Sultan is not inclined to risk such a
step. On the contrary, he opposes it
uncompromisingly and viii not yield
TO the pressure of the war party at
COnstantinople.
He Will be satisfied with a reasonable
indemnity and a slight rectificatiOn of
the Eastern Thessalan frontier. such
a one as would give Turkey several
strategic positions in the vicinity Of
Nezeros.

Veteran Snowman Dead.

CINCINNATI, May 9.-James NJ.
Hutchinson, the veteran Snowman,
more widely known as Uncle Jim"

brother William operated museums in
ST. Louis and Cincinnati. In 1880, John
Wilson, assistant manager of Robin
