STEAMER BURNED AT SEA.
The Last Vessel the Wilson Liner
RialtO-Her Crew Rescued.

The Last Vessel the Wilson Liner
RialtO-EIer Crew Rescued.
New York, March 1S.-The Allan State
Line steamer Carthagenian, which arriv-
ed this morning from Glasgow, rescued
the crew of the Wilson steamer Rialto,
which took fire and was abandoned March
s. in latitude 1:31 and longitude 22:45.
The Rialto was bound from Newcastle
for this port, loaded with a general car
so, including large quantity of chemi-
Gals. She left port on Feb. q and ex-
perienced strong westerly gales, which
gradually increased in violence until
March B. when veritable hurricane was
blowing. At o'clock in the morning a
terrific explosion iii the forehold blew the
hatch covers into the air killed one sea-
man and injured the chief mate. Dense
columns of thick yellow smoke poured
out, and choking, penetrating order per-
vaded the slip. and the crew were at
once called to fire quarters.
IL was necessary to batten down the
hatch to prevent the fire having full vent
Meanwhile, the ship was wallowing in
the high sea, and occasionally burying
herself under a giant comber
The lifeboats were smashed by the seas,
and the crew saw death staring them in
the face. All hands worked with desper-
ate energy, but in spit of all efforts, the
fire seemed to gain headway. At 2
O'Clock in the afternoon the Carthagenian
was sighted and in reply to signals, prom
ised to stand by until the weather moder-
ated sufficiently to permit boats to be low
cred. The Rialto seamen did not relax
their efforts to subdue the fire, but it
crept further into the cargo, and the
decks grew hotter and hotter.
For forty hours, or until the early morn
ing of the 5th the Allan liner stood by and
then the weather moderated enough to
make it possible for life boat to leave
AS the Rialto's boats were all gone, the
captain of the Carthagenian ordered his
manned, and after a great effort the crew
were rescued. Capt. Rippi said that when
he abandoned the Rialto the plate seams
were gaping, and there was fifteen feet
of water in the main hold, so that her
sinking was only matter of a few hours
The rescued crew saved none of their
effects.

REFUGEES FROM THE FLOOD.
The Work of Rescue in Progress and
over 5000 Now in Memphis.

Memphis. Tenn. March 1s-The work of
rescuing the people in the flooded districts
is being carried on night and day, and this
morning half dozen steamers brought to
Memphis over 1000 refugees.
The steamboat men tell some narrowing
stories of suffering and death. One wo-
man, who was rescued from an Indian
mound fifteen miles west of here. held in
her arms a dead infant that had perished
from cold and hunger. Another family of
four, when rescued, related that two small
children were drowned in sight of their
helpless parents,
Islands No. 40, 81, IS and 81, in the Missis-

no cessation of the down-po The river
now marks 369. The levees are standing
the strain much better than was expected,
but a break is liable to occur at any mo-
ment.
A levee near Charlottesville, Mo, broke
this afternoon, but whether damage was
done is not yet known. Private reports
say that 1t was simply break, while the
levee board declares 1t was the result OF
a cut.
There have been no additional drownings
reported to-day, but the rumored drown
ing of five from a bridge In Arkansas is
confirmed.
1t is now believed the vast majority OF
imperiled people within reach of Mem
phis have been rescued. There are about
5000 of them here. The relief committee
to-day wired Gov. Jones of Arkansas for
state aid, and urged that he seek federal
aid through the Arkansas congressman
He replied there were no funds at his
disposal for that purpose, and that he
could do nothing to aid the refugees from
his state.

blocked tonight by a 300-foot washout =

from the levees south tonight are not
encouraging. From Helena to Relief

is asserted. and from there to Modoe, a

danger, in fact, the report from Modoc
is that they cannot hold the levee till

MORGAN STILL ON MS METAL.
The senator Again Protests Against
the Arbitration Treaty.

Washington. March 1S.-Immediately
after the Senate went into executive ses-
sion this afternoon. Senator Davis. for
the committee on foreign relations. sub
mitted a report on the general treaty of
arbitration with Great Britain, with GER
tain amendments made by the committee.
He offered a resolution that the treaty.
as amended, be ratified and this started
the discussion.
Senator Morgan of Alabama took the
floor Immediately and began a vigorous
speech against the ratification of the con-
vention. The statements of the senator
from Alabama were largely repetitions of
the speeches made by him on the subject
during the last session, when the unsuc-
cessful effort was made TO ratify the trea-
ty. He took the ground that It would be
uuwise and impolitic for the United States
to tie its hands by a treaty of arbitration
of any sort whatever so long as the other
contracting party was Great Britain.
That country, he contended, was the gen
eral enemy of all nations; its hand was
raised against all other powers In It's
struggle for territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and its fight for the valuable possessions
of the world. There was In this treaty
he argued, hidden pitfall into which the
United States was about TO plunge and he
urged senators to refuse to sanction a
treaty that gave our natural enemy ev-
cry advantage--a treaty that was useless
and formulated In response to sentiment
that ought not to exercise the slightest
control In the management of the affairs
of a great nation. Mr.. Morgan spoke also
for his colleagues on the committee,
