FIRE ON A BRITISH SHIP.
The Cargo of the Falls OF Dee AL
most Entirely Destroyed.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 24.-The
cargo in the hold of the British ship
Falls of Dee, lying at the foot of San
some street, was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire last night. 1t was found
necessary to flood the hold, and such of
the freight as was not destroyed by the
flames was greatly damaged by water.
The Falls of Dee is full-rigged four
masted iron ship, and arrived in this
port from Hongkong four days ago. She
carried large cargo of a miscellaneous
character and of considerable value.
One of the crew sitting in the forecaste
noticed the atmosphere growing uncom-
fortably warm. All of a sudden volumes
of smoke began to pour out OF a Ventlla-
tor leading from the hold, and the
frightened sailors rushed on deck and
gave the alarm of fire. Streams of
water were poured in the hold for hours
before the fire was put out. The fire was
not entirely extinguished until this
morning.
The ship is damaged but little, but it
is estimated that the loss on the cargo
will amount to almost $4,000.

SECRETARY OF STATE SHERMAN
DISCUSSES TWO VERY IMFOR-
TANT SUBJECTS.
One Relating to American Miners
Flocking to C1ondyke, the
Other the Boring Sea

NEW YORK, July 24-Secretary of
State John Sherman is at the Fifth Az
enue Hotel He will leave at once for
Amagansett, Long Island, where he will
rest for several weeks. The Secretary
was asked what he thought of the re-
ports that the Canadian Government
proposed to enforce the alien act
against American miners now fiocking
to the Clondyke gold fields.
Il don't know" said the Secretary.
1--WE have an alien law of our own. We
have never enforced it against gold
miners. Canadian citizens have been
free to come to the United States and
mine for gold under the same terms
that our citizens did. There has never
been any friction over the matter, and
do not anticipate any serious trouble
with our Canadian neighbours on that
score.
Where a man has taken up a land
claim for the purpose of residence and
cultivation we have always insisted
that he be a citizen. The same has
been done under the Canadian Govern
mert.
Where a man has simply prospected
for gold with the intention of digging
what he could find he has never been
interfered with on our side of the
border.
Il do not think that the Canadian
Government will change that course of
procedure. If they do it may lead to
fully as much embarrassment to them
as to our miners.
From the meager reports already re-
ceived it looks as if there might be as
much gold on our side of the Alaska
line as on theirs
Asked about the Boring Sea incident
he laughed and said:
The letters published in our English
papers, together with their headlines
are being too readily received as the
sentiment of the nation. The English
Government has made no response to
the letter received by Minister Hay in
regard to the Berng Sea matter, and
it's foreign office has said nothing of a
belligerent nature.
England has fully as much. if not
more, at stake on the seal trade than
we have London is the center of the
fur trade of the world, not only in the
buying and selling of furs. but in their
dressing and preparation for the mar
ket
These matters will be fairly adjust
ed, and that without trouble. America
has contended, and believes she is
right in her contention, that something
must be done, and done at once, or the
seal race VIII soon be extinct in Alas
kan waters
