New York. oct. 6.-Coming up the
East river at full speed at o'clock
yesterday afternoon the Mallory liner
Leona. Capt. Wilder. from Galveston,
warped into Pier No. 20. The speed
with which she came up the river was
due TO the fact that the ship was on
fire from the main hatch forward to
the bow.
The officers OF the vessel ordered The
crew to try to put out the flames with
out calling the fire department This
was soon found to be impossible and
an alarm was sent in. BY $50 o'clock
they were playing from five engines
and six streams from fire boats.
The fremen had a hard time 10 get
at the flames. as the boat came into
her dock stern foremost. leaving the
burning portion out in the water.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
The boat left Galveston on Sept. % and
made her eight-day run without special
incident. 1t was said by one OF the
passengers that three days ago the
matches had been battened down and
Capt Wldes then said that this was
owing 10 the high seas. From that
time the ship had gone at full speed
toward New York. The passenger said
that on several occasions he had de-
tected smoke. and had not thought
particularly about ii. as the captain
said all was well.
Capt Wides denies that the ship
was on fire at sea. and says that the
first he knew OF the fire was when the
matches were lifted Yesterday after ar
rival in the harbor.
At 6 O'Clock about 20 fremen, with
the chief and deputy chief were on
the boat working might and main Il

men finally left the ship, sliding down

About half a dozen Hen were on the

FURIOUS FREkCHMEN.

AT a bull FIGHT which was to take
place in Marseiles recently one of the
two Spanish matadors engaged for the
afternoon failed to put in an appear
ance, and the manager called upon the
absentce's partner TO stay the six bulls
eingle-handed, says the Chicago Rec
ord. The spectators began TO grow rest
less, and the toreador, see ng his op-
portuntty. demanded double payment
in advance This the manager fatty
refused, and il soon was rumored that
no fght was TO take place.
Wnen the manager made the an
ncuncement the crowd, hOoting and
whisthng, demanded the return of the
entrance fee Amid howls OF rage the
mob rushed back TO the arena AMI be-
gan 10 demoiish everything Ina sight.
The police were utterly powerless, and
the mob ripped u9 benches, railmgs.
fences and woodwork Of every descrip-
tion, piled the debris in the centre OF
the arena and made a glorious bonfire.
The follow ng day the mayor compelled
the manager 10 refund the entrance
money, reading him a lecture at the
same time on the danger OF trining
with the hot-headed French people.

Tho widespread public interest In
the contest for the fast mail contract
between Chicago and Omaha has
caused one temporarily to overlook
tho similar achievement of the Great
Northern railway In establishing
quick mail communication from New
York. via Chicago and st. Paul, to
Seattle. and thence to the Orient. The
fast Pacific mail service by way of
st. Paul to the Puget Sound country
Is now quite rs remarkable as that via
Omaha to San Francisco. On January
3 tho Great Northern placed In serv-
leo fast through mail and passen-
ger train from Chicago to Seattle. on
which the mail pouches never once
leave the car after the transfer at
st. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time
by this Northern route is Just four
days. East of st. Paul the mails are
carried on several roads, but west of
that city-on n run exceeding the
eastern portion by 500 miles-the
mail goes through without change
across FIVE great States on the tracks
OF tho Great Northern. Forty-fve
minutes arc consumed in transferring
the mails in Chicago, and th.:ty min
utes in st. Paul. After that the
Northern Oriental flyer does the rest
without a pause until the Asiatic
mails go on board the steamers of
the Japan Mail Steamship Company.
Both the Importance of Seattle as an
Oriental shipping point and the speed
OF the Great Northern transconti-
mental mail service make the achieve
ment n noteworthy feature Of Amer
lean railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have al
ready become formidable rivals OF
San Francisco as regards tho freight
and passenger traffic for Japan. China
and Asiatic ports. The steamer route
! from Seattle to the Orient seems to
be more free from storms than that
from San Francisco, and as large
| proportion of tho Oriental exports are
| products OF the Northwest the freight
traffic has naturally taken this course.
Tho fact that the full capacity of the
Japan Mail Steamship Company's
beats is engaged as far ahead as next
| August is in itself striking proof of
the growing importance D of the
| Oriental trade that has its outlet at
! Seattle.
