We're damaged to the extent of S200,O0O by
a fire which started at midnight and burned
until o'clock this morning. The loss is

The fire is suspected to have been caused
by an explosion of gas in one of the COM

ing turpentine and linseed oil, exploded one
after the other. The turpentine and linseed
oil poured in great volumes over the ground
into the waters of the Kill Won Kull and
Newark bay. Fire tugs from the Standard
Oil works at Bayonne arrived at Elm Park
not long after the fire started, but they were
forced to contine their efforts to keeping

POLITICS IN HONOLULU.
Call for n Republican Convention
Talk of Native Party.

Talk of Native Party.
CHICAGO May "a special to the Rec
ord from Honolulu, April 81 (via San Fran
cisco. says:
A call has been issued for a convention
to organize the republican party of the ter
ritory of Hawaii. The convention is to
meet in Honolulu May 10. All persons who
believe in the principles Of the republican
party as laid down by the last national
convention of the party are invited to meet
in their respective localities and elect dele
gates to this convention.
Representation is accorded on the basis
of the representation of the several dis
tricts in the last house of representatives
of the islands. In addition to organizing
the party the convention will select dele
gates to represent the territory in the re-
publican national convention at Philadel-
phia. AS yet the democrats have made no
move toward organizing in any part of the
islanGs.
1t is hard to tell yet whether the political
divisions of the people will be along ma
tiOnal party lines or not. There is a great
deal of talk of a native party, composed of
the native HawaiianS and the whites who
were royalists at the time of the over
throw.

CAR MEN STILL OUT
Lackawanna Repairers Have Another
Conference With Mr.. Garfield.
THREATS TO qIE-UP OTHER ROADS
Gompers Fails to Settle the Freight
Handlers Strike.
S T R I K E RS IN A RIOT

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 5.-The committee
of the Lackawanna's car repairers had an
other conference with Master Mechanic
Garfield this morning without reaching any
definite conclusion. The conference will be
resumed this afternoon. The chairman OF
the strikers said, after the conference, that
the company must grant them the New
York Central scale or they would tie up
the other roads.
President Gompers of the American L ed
Grafton of Labor and Business Agent War
ner of the Machinists' Union of New York
left for New York early today. Before they
left they held conference with President
Madgwick Of the striking railroad freight
handlers and undertook to attempt to bring
about settlement of the dispute between
the men and the railroads. They communi-
Gated with Superintendents Bradfeld of the
New York Central Brunn of the Erie and
Van Allen of the Lehigh Valley, all of
whom refused to treat with the Freight
Handlers Union or to recognize the author
ity of Mr.. Gompers to represent the men.
1t was then agreed that Messrs. Gompers
and Warner should confer in New York
with the head officials of the roads having
headquarters there and arrange IL posi-
BILE for a conference in that city between
a representative of the Freight Handlers
Union and the railroads
At meeting of the executive board of
Freight Handlers Union this morning
President Madgwick was authorized to go
to New York, with full power to negotiate
with the railroads. He will leave as soon
as he receives word from President Com
pers.
Strikers Riot at Constable Hook.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The strikers at the
Standard Oil works at Constable Hook,
N. j.. made determined effort today to
prevent men from going to work in their
places. Every man that attempted to enter
| the works was assaulted. A number of
shots were fired by the rioters, but no one
was hit.
The police and deputy sheriffs that had
been guarding the works repeatedly charg-
ed the rioters and used their clubs with
vigor. Two of the ringleaders of the strik-
ers were arrested They were George Katke
and Daniel Sorenzi, both Hungarians. The
two men attacked a man named Joseph
Matizce, who is also a Hungarian, and
who was about to enter the Standard on
grounds for the purpose of going to work.
MatiZce was badly beaten.
The police and deputies have been REIN
forced and any further attempt at rioting
will be promptly suppressed.

Labor Trouble in Philadelphia Shows
No Sign of settlement.

NO sign OF settlement.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5-Al efforts to
compromise the dispute between the Allied
Building Trades Council and the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners have so far
failed. Unless some amicab,e agreement is
reported by tonight it Is possible that work
on the national republican convention hall
will come to a standstill. Practically the
first move in that direction was made to-
day. when. under instructions from Bust
ness Agent Joseph Bradley of the steam
filters union, eight journeymen steamfitters
and ten helpers left their work at the con-
vention hall.
This order was issued because the car
penters at work at that point are members
of the brotherhood. That organization has
been declared non-union by the council OF
allied building trades and none of the af-
filiated unions will allow members to work
on the same job with them.
By Monday work on the convention hall
will have advanced to a stage where paint
ers and plumbers will be necessary. All
journeymen in these trades will refuse to
go to work unless the brotherhood car
penters are withdrawn from the job.
There are about 10000 idle men in the
building trades today. practically the same
yesterday.

ARTILLERY BRANCH INCREASED.
Effect of the Army Reorganization
Bill.

Though such calculations are little
risky in anticipation of the passage by the
House of the army reorganization bill in
an amended form, the officials at the War
Department have been doing some figuring
to learn what effect the bill would have
upon the numerical strength Of the army.
1t appears that the only branch of the
service which will receive any addition to
Its numerical strength is the artillery, and
the number of men to be added to that
branch is only Bats at the maximum. This
addition Is to be made Of course to the
artillery branch as 1t now stands under
the terms of the act of 1899, and not to
the force as it stood at the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war. Under the existing
law (Which expires next Year, the artillery
strength at the maximum is 1870 Under
the reorganization bill its strength will be
Has The present enlisted strength of
the army under the act of 1899. is 5000
regulars and 5000 volunteers, or a total
of 100000, so that with all the ranks full
the reorganization bill would increase that
total only to ,47S men.
An important element of the increase
is the opportunity afforded for the appoint
ment of officers in the artillery branch
Nominally the new bill looks to the addi-
ton to the present 35I artillery officers of
1S4 new appointments, making the total
number of artillery officers 5i1. AS mat
ter of fact, there are now a number of
vacancies in artillery commissions. and the
number of additions to be made will be POI
1t is proper to indicate, however, that all
of these commissions cannot be issued at
present nor can all of the enlistments be
made to bring the artillery up to the maxi
mum, for the act in terms specifies that the
increase is to be made at the rate of 20
per cent annually.
As already stated, the only substantial
addition to the strength of the army pro-
yided for in this bill Is that made in the
artillery branch. where the men are badly
needed to man the sea cost defenses, but
there are also two items of increase in
small way through the addition of 100 to
the strength of the cadet corps at West
Point and the addition of the new veterina
rian corps.
