BIG BLAZE At
CRESCENT CITY
Entire Town at One Time
Threatened.
BELIEVED TO BE INCENDIARY
STARTED IN THE BLOCK OWNED
BY MRS. STELzER.
There Is No Fire Department in the
City, but the Citizens Organ
lied Hastily and Fought
the Flames.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CRESCENT CITY, Nov. 1.-THE most
disastrous fire which has occurred at
Crescent City for many years originated
last night in the concrete State building
on the corner of Second and l streets. The
property belongs to Mrs. Elizabeth Stel-
ger. How the fire originated is yet a
question of mere conjecture, but as no
reasonable ground can be assigned for ac-
cidental theory 1t is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.
The fire rapidly spread TO other build
ings, and for a time it seemed as II the
whole city were doomed But by the IA
voring changes of the wind perhaps more
than any other reason the devouring ele-
about one-fourth of the block in the bust
ness center of the town, including the
store and residence Of Mrs. Steizer, the
drug store of Mrs. q. A. Chaceneau, the
variety store of f. 8. hughes rs ana the
jeWelry store of L. EauSlno. Inc tot6a
loss is at least $4,000.
When discovered the fire had made such
rapid progress that 1t was impossible 10
remove some $1,000 worth or stock IN the
stores. Attention was at once directed to
the saving of goods and furniture from
the endangered building, causing the
streets ana sidewalks TO be blockaded
with all manner Of wares. The electric
lights were extinguShed by reason of the
danger from falling wires, but the town
was never before so brilliantly lighted.
Without any organized fire department
it was virtually a hand TO hand combat
with the flames, in which every citizen
willingly Joined. and by dint of faithful
work and good luck the flames were kept
from crossing the street.
The building in which the fire started
was insured for $1,000 IN the London and
Lancashire Insurance Company. The in
surance all told on the other buildings
amounts to $500.

When the vessel was released from quar-
antine one of the crew stated to one of the
customs guards that the man in charge
was not the master of the ship, but the
mate, and that the mate had murdered
the master and his wife on the voyage.
The authorities sent boats crews from
a small Spanish man-ofwar in the harbor
TO bring the mate and crew ashore. The
mate had suspected something, and he
armed himself with a revolver and defied
the whole of the five boats crews of
Spanish man-Of-Warsmen to take him.

SEEKS A LOAN FROM
THE GERMAN EMPIRE
Trans-siberian Railway Costing Mo1s
Than Was Anticipated and
Russia Needs Money.

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-It is stated on the
highest authority that DIR. Won MIGUEL,
Prussian Minister of Finance, had a long
conference to-day with Emperor William.
1t appears that one of the sub
jects discussed during the visit of
Emperor Nicholas last week was
the raising of another Russian
loan in Germany, Russia having failed to
effect one anywhere else in Europe. This
explains why DR.. Won MIGUEL was present
Wednesday evening, along with Count Won
BueloW and Count MuraVieff, the German
and Prussian Foreign Ministers, at the
interview between the Car and the
Kaiser. Emperor William, ii is asserted,
made no promise TO the Car in the mat
Ter, leaving ii understood that whether
the German Government would favor an
other Russian loan here or not depended
largely upon DR.. Won Miquels answer to-
day, prepared at the Emperor's request.
In the meanwhile DR.. Won MIGUEL con-
suited with the leading German tinancierS.
nearly all Of whom discouraged the pro-
posal, as they have been reliably in
formed that the trans-Siberian Railroad
is likely 10 prove far more expensive than
is generally surmised. Moreover a Rus
sian financial crash is expected soon.
To-day DR.. Won MIGUEL reported to this
effect to the Kaiser, and ii may be con-
sidered certain that the proposed loan
here has failed.

Shortly after breakfast Admiral Dewey
was Joined by his son. George, and the

CAPTAIN BAlSLEY
MURDERED AT SEA
Being Stabbed, He Falls Overheard,
and the Criminal Sails Away
With the Schooner.

ST JOHNS, n. B., Nov. ia murder
at sea on the schooner J. B. Van Dusen of
New York was made known to-day by the
receipt of a message from the vessels
mate to the owners agent in this city. 1t
stated that Captain Baisley of this city
had been stabbed by sailor named Max
well, had afterwaTd fallen overheard and
died in the ships boat which had put off
TO rescue him. AS for the SCHOONER, it
disappeared in the darkness under con-
ditions which made it seem probable that
the murderer and the steward, the only
men left on board had gotten the schoon-
er under way and headed in toward the
Nova Scotia coast.
The schooner left this port lumber laden
for New York late yesterday afternoon.
The tragedy was evidently enacted in
the bay of Funday within few hours
after clearing land.
Maxwell for several voyages sailed with
Captain Baisley as his mate.
; The schooner was finally located at
Beaver Harbor to-day, where it had been
landed under charge of the cook, Frank
Snowden. Snowden said Captain Baisley
and Sailor Maxwell had fight about
dark last night, during which the captain
had been knocked overheard. The mate
and another sailor Immediately took the
boat and roWed away in search of Cap
tain Baisley. Their boat, the cook said,
disappeared, and he took the wheel of
the schooner. Later ii was learned that
the Van Dusen, with the mate and sailor,
had arrived at Point Lepreaux with the
body of Captain Baisley. Maxwell is I'M

SLOW RECOUNT
IN KENTUCKY
Returns Thus Far Favor
Taylor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 12.-The sec
ond week of uncertainty regarding the
result of the balloting for Governor OF
Kentucky begins with little prospect of
immediate relief. The official count has
been in progress two days and official re-
turns from a large majority of the llS
counties have narrowed the contest down
to a close finish. Each side claims the
election of it's ticket, but the estimated
pluralities of either does not exceed 1000.
While the returns so far received FAVOR
Taylor, the result of the count may hinge
on the decision given by the County Elec-
ton Commissioners in several places
where contests have been begun on the
ground of alleged irregularities,
One of these contests, that In Nelson
County has been decided adversely to the
Republicans. 1t involves 1893 votes
nearly as many as either side claims as
It's plurality
The Democrats will contest the votes
of some of the mountain counties, which
return large Republican plurallties. Inc
most important county involved is K knox,
which gave Taylor 1893. plurality. Ihere
are also contests in three precincts IN
Louisville, which went Republican,
In any event it is difficult to see how a
bitter contest before the Legislature and
the courts can be avoided. All the con-
tests now being considered by the county
election officers will have to be argued
before the State Board of Commissioners,
which must meet at Frankfort within a
month. Both sides are preparing for this
with all the legal talent at their COM
mand. Meanwhile, everything hangs on
the official count, which will consume a
large portion of the week. In Jefferson
County louisville the work is especially
slow. Only one ward has been completed
in the two days work.
The Commercial tomorrow will print d
statement from Chairman Long of the
Republican State campaign committee
claiming q plurality of Bill for Taylor.
These figures are based on the official re-
turns of 10 county election boards, upon
returns signed by the precinct election Of
ficers in eight countless more counties In
which the county boards have not fur-
nished tabulation and upon returns in one
county in which the election officers re-
fuse to certify to the returns.
The 10 counties giving official returns
show pluralities of 27,121 for Taylor and
Goebel In the eight counties not yet can
vassed pluralities are shown amounting to
6424 for Taylor and 1888 for Goebel. The
committee claims that these returns have
been certified to by the precinct election
officers and need only TO be tabulated. In
the remaining county, Lewis, there IS a
ton officers boldly refuse to obey the law
by certifying to their returns;
The Courier-Journal will print state
ment from Mr.. Goebel at Frankfort de-
claring there is no doubt of his election,
but gives no figures, the announcement
being made that no returns have been re-
ceived since last night, when Goebel
plurality was figured at loo.

ROME. Nov. 12.--The Cardinal who is
most "papable" (eligible) at the present
moment is Cardinal Gotti His ascension
would not be displeasipg to Americanists,
because, like Vannutelli, he would not be
a political and diplomatic Pope like Leo
XIII, but rather an apostolic and religious
one.
Every one knows that Americanists,
and especially Monsignor O'Conneu,
makes much of Cardinal Vannutelli, in
the hope OF seeing him wear the tiara
some day. Cardinal Vannutelli is Mon
signor Ireland's candidate. II is certain
however, that his chance has greatly dt-
minished, and the Americanists vii prob
ably be out Of pocket by the propaganda
in his favor.
When the Pope's letter on Americanism
appeared in January last, the rectors OF
the Canadian College behaved In a very
peculiar way toward Monsignor keane,
and almost drove him out OF their estab-
lishment, and in any case urged upon
him that he should leave as soon as pos
sible and ind lodging elsewhere. Mon
slgnor Keane, therefore, went to a hotel,
where he has spent the last few months
of his sOjOurn in Rome. These facts are
confirmed by Protestant convert 10
Catholicism, who rebukes the proceeding
ly which the Canadian priests sought TO
ind favor with the Pope.
The Pope received a few days ago the
American Bishop DIT. Chatard, Ordinary
OF Indianapolis, ina. mis- prelate is o.
years of age and had an apoplectic at
tack two months ago. The Pope was
very anxious to know what impression
the condemnation of Americanism had
made on the other side of the Atlantic,
but 1t is doubtful whether he was able TO
obtain much information on the subject
from the Bishop. who when a CORE
spondent sought to interview him two or
three days ago on the subject of a petit
ton to President Mckinley in favor Of
the Transvaal replied that he could not
answer, as his doctor had forbidden him
TO do anything that would fatigue his
brain.
Cardinal SatoiH, who was formerly
courted by the Americanists when he
was at Washington. has gone over bag
and baggage to the opposite camp.

LONDON, . Nov. 12.-Hurry orders have
been received by the builders of the Japa-
nese battleship now in process of con
struction at Clyde Bank TO complete the
vessel as speedily as possible. The new
ship, which will be one of the largest
afioat, is to be finished by January l, 1900
1t is believed the instructions are caused
by the increasing tension between Japan
and Russia.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail says:
IAN uneasy feeling regarding the rela-
tons of Russia and Japan is spreading
here. There is no doubt that Japan is
practically allied with China, despite the
degradation which the Empress Dowager
inflicted upon the Chinese ENJOYS to
Japan upon their recent return. This
was merely tactical move, with view
of appeasing Russia

splendid condition from European

and the Improvement that has been OBJ

He ate solid food with relish and it
promptly assimilated. With his meals he
took milk. ana between meals was given
milk punches.
This is marked change from his condi-
ton ten days ago. At that time he was
rapidly sinking and his stomach had re-
fused food OF all kinds. For several days
he lived on grapes and the juice of grape
fruit, but 1t soon appeared that his stom-
ach was so congested that he could not
even take these
Mr.. Hobart now spends most of his
time in a reclining position and he sleeps
without the aid of opiates. The most
painful and alarming feature of his i'll
ness has been his attacks of nervousness
as night approaches. These attacks have
decreased.
Mrs Hobart, who has spent nearly
every minute of her time during the last
two weeks at the bedside of her husband,
feels much encouraged and has had more
rest than formerly.

as they are, and ought increasingly to be-
come friends of one another"
