PERIL BY FIRE
Tie Third Philippine Expedition
Encountered Many Grave
Dangers.
Fire Broke Out in Morgan City's
Bunkers Three Days From
Honolulu,
And Continued to Burn Until the
Expedition Reached Manila
Bay.
Troops Were Kept in Ignorance
Of Their Danger for Fear of
8 Panic.

New YORK, Aug. ia dispatch
to The World from Manila Bay, Aug.
4. via Hong Kong, says: The third
Philippine expedition is here, ~ days
out from Honolulu. Never did an ex.
petition encounter more dangers OF
endure more perils. On the voyage
men and l officer died and 80 more
were taken sick. Typhoid and menin.
gifts played havoc on the transports.
Two iremer went insane and leaped
overheard. But fire "a the worst peril
Of all.
The dead at sea:
Ralph Bowers, signal corps. Of Los
Angeles, on July 20.
Ernest Bowker. Wyoming battalion,
on July 20.
Frederick auckland, Thirteenth
Minnesota, of St. Paul.
r. D. Kerr, lieutenant of engineers,
of West Virginia, July 81.
Stephen Roddy. Twenty.third in.
fantry, of Dsllas, Tex, on July IA.
w. D. Kelly, fireman. of San Fran.
cisco, On July 10.
John Stockville, fireman, of San
Francisco, on July 4.
Fire on the Morgan City.
The fleet of transports and their con.
voy, the monitor Monterey, were three
days out from Hawaii when fire was
discovered ABOARD the transport Nor.
gan City. One of the crew reported to
Captain Dillon that there was q blaze
in the coal tunkers.
"Get out the hose" whispered the
captain to the first mate.
At midnight when all the troops
were asleep, Captain Dillon assembled
the crew and told them the news.
Every man was pledged to secresy. To
let the soldiers know they were over a
raging fire would be to precipitate a
panic.
Silently the men cou pied on the hose
and the steam pipes. Then they be.
gan battling the flames in the hold.
Next morning the fire was as fierce as
ever. Night and day the heroic crew
fought fire, but with little success.
And still the troops aboard did not
know that a fire was burning beneath
their feet.
The Morgan City fell off in speed
and the whole feet was delayed. Cap.
tain Dillon did not signal the flagship.
He kept his men at work fighting the
flames in the bunkers while troops
went about Oh deck all unconscious Of
their peril. The bunkers were still
burning when the Morgan City arrived
here. Then for the first time the
troops learned of their danger. The
flames were extinguished after the
ship had been in port a few hours.
On board the Morgan City were 600
men of the Idaho volunteers and q de.
! tachment of Nebraska volunteers.
The next most interesting incident
of the voyage was the sight Of the &C.
tive volcano Faralien de Pajaros. The
ships passed it On the night of July 70,
when it was in full operation. A col.
umn of fame mounted far into the air
and illumined the lea The men
crowded to the rails and enjoyed the
spectacle until it sank beneath the hor.
lion, leaving only a pillar Of fame
mirrored in the clouds.
All through the voyage a watchful
eye was kept for hostile sail, but none
was seen.
About IL, 900 pounds of fresh beef
was spoiled On the Indiana and several
thousand pounds more on the other

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Gained Few Points On Re-
port of Visible Supply.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Wheat started firm
at about yesterdays closing figures, be-
came easier for a minute or SO and then
became comparatively sJrong and kept on
the rise for over an hour. AT the end of
that time, September had advanced to 60
Q63A as compared with g. bid the day
before. December did not follow Septem-
bel. further at that time than to the eX-
tent of l2c, reaching CPS when September
was 6312 and going no higher during the
latterS further &c Improvement. 1t was
evident that the extra strength in the
nearer delivery proceeded from Slight mis-
glvingS as to the sufficiency of receipts in
the near future.
Primary western market receipts
amounted to $50. 900 bushels, against 3d.
Bradstreet'S reported the worlds visible
supply to have decreased 3, 49S 600 bushels,
and Just previous to that announcement
IL became known that a large business
had been done in spot wheat for prompt
shipment. About 100000 bushels OF No. 2
red was disposed of al cents a buShel in
store here above September price. The
cash business and Bradstreets together
caused an advance of September to 633s.

CLIMBED THE TEToNs.
First Time the Feat Has Been Ac-
complished.


w R. Owen, state auditor Of Wyo-
ming, and f. f. Spaulding of Erie, Pa,
passed through ogden yesterday en-
route east, having just returned from
the Teton territory. where they as
cended the main peak, feat that has
not been performed before, it is
claimed The gentlemen are members
of the Rocky Mountain club, and this
is Mr.. Owens fourth attempt to scale
the peak.
They made the ascent twice, first on
Aug. IL and again on Aug. IA. The
first occupied II hours. They found
the extreme top to be composed of one
solid rock 81 feet long and IA feet wide.
Near the base Of the rock, 400 feet be-
low the summit, they found monu-
ment Of stones put up by Stevens and
Langford of the geological survey in
1872, and who have been generally cred
tied with having scaled the summit, an
official record having been made TO that
effect Another disputed point set at
rest is that the mountain is in Wyo-
ming instead of partly in Idaho, as
has been claimed. The summit is 1850
feet above sea level. They placed
metal banner on the top bearing the
words, on one side, Rocky Mountain
Club" and on the other a design of
the stars and stripes. They also left
metal can, provided by the CLUB, con-
tanning their names, the date and other
information. Accompanying them We're
F. Petersen and John Shive of Jack
sons Hole, who acted as guides.
On coming down from the mountain
they reported their trip to F. NJ. Ban
nor, in charge of a geological survey
ing party By the aid of his field
glasses Bannor was able to see them on
the peak, and confirms their account
of the ascent.
Countless attempts have been made
to scale this mountain, the first record
ed being in 1S43, when Frenchman
made the trial. Mr.. Owen was an old
friend of Captain Rogers of the fire
department, and during his brief stay
in Ogden called upon him.
