1t is feared that some of the Chris
tian Endeavorers who were to have
sailed from Boston Tuesday for South
ampton on the Saale may have
Lost Their Lives.
1t was said to-day that some of the
people had come to thls--city, to in
spect the ship, which had been charter
ed to take five hundred of them to
England, and that they were on board
of her when the flames broke out on
the pier.
AS many people, to avoid being roast
ed to death on the three steamships
and the docks, jumped overheard and
were drowned, searching parties kept
a close watch to-day along the shores
of the North river, Brooklyn and Sta
ten Island. AS the tide was on the
turn when the people were lost in the
water it is believed that their bodies
were carried up stream and when they
rise will come to the surface above
Twenty-third street, unless they drift
ed into the central current and caught
the flood tide running out. They are
likely to be discovered mostly in the
upper bay. Relatives of the missing
employed row boats and men to patrol
in the vicinity of the disaster in the
hope of picking up the remains OF the
missing ones. Other boatmen search
ed for the dead on speculation.
Agent Schwab, Of the North German
Lloyd Company, said this afternoon:
ION the deck of the Saale body was
found to-day which is probably that OF
Captain Mirowi 1t was burned beyond
recognition, but Mr. Bonner recognized
knife which was found on the body as
one belonging to the captain.
The company is looking out for the
wounded and survivors and we are try
ing to muster those who are left ia
Hoboken.
THE fire was quickly started and
many jumped overheard or jumped safe
ly in other ways. Again the ships sep
arated, some going up the stream, some
down the stream and the men were
scattering. Many are missing.
Il wish to deny the statement that
there was large quantity of oil on
the pier near the cotton. There was,
however, on one of the piers a quantity
of lubricating oil This oil had passed
three hundred fash test.
THE fire began in some cotton on one
of the piers and spread with amazing
rapidity."

GERMANY AND ENGLAND

In the course of a political speech at
Ebernburg. Herr Mertel. a member of
the German reichstag, made the follow
ing significant and sensational declara-
ton:
Our next war will be naval and against
England. Of this we have been quietly
assured by the government. and it was
because of this assurance that the Agra
Tians voted for the naval bill
Commenting upon this probability
and upon Senator Lodges recent
speech declaring that war between
this republic and Germany was immi-
nent, the Deutsche Tageszeitung, the
Agrarian organ. recently said that the
senator had evidently confused his
government with that of Salisbury"
The mistake was a natural one for
a spokesman of the present administra-
ton TO make Whatever threatens
Salisbury or Chamberlain makes Han
ma and Mckinley angry And when
ever the Prince of Wales takes snuff
the administration at Washington feels
duty bound to sneeSe.
