Egra which broke out about o'clock last
NIGHT DESTROYED a large section OF the piers Of

crude oil department of the Standard Oil Com
uany al the extreme point Of Constable Hook
Rsvonne spread 10 barges and vessels. and
caused a loss roughly estimated at 100000.
Il was intimated that the fire started by
some Of the strikers at the Standard OH Com
pany's refinery, but this quickly denied by
officials of the works. who decI-red that no
suspicion rested on the dissatisfied employees
The fire started aboard a piedriver between
piers Nos ! and ., which are about two hundred
and fifty feet long and inclosed with one story
sheds The blaze spread rapidly 10 Pier No. /
on which the canning shed. and in which
were stored thousands Of cans of oil. The build
ings and piers were soaked with oil. and burned

The other pier and 70 a number of barges owned
ny the Vanderbilt system, about six OF which
were destroyed.
The tank ship Adelphia was moored TO one OF
the piers. and she was quickly ablaze. With her
standing rigging mass Of flames she made a
beautiful sight Tugs which were summoned
from Staten Island attempted 10 tow her to
safe moorngs. but the hawsers were burned and
she went adrift in the Kills. She not seri-
ousIy damaged. as the tugs deluged her with
water.
The big. full rugged ship Josephus. owned by
Arthur Sewell Of Maine. was loading oil
for China She quickly enyeloped in flames
and her masJs went by The board, crashing
through several pier sheds. The water that was
poured into her sunk her and II is believed that
she is not heavily damaged. Her captain and
crew had narrow escape from death She will
have TO be re-rigged and replated about her
upper works.
soon after the fire broke out the Standard OIL
Company sent for reinforcements from its
Brooklyn and Long Island City yards.
Several tugs responded. and with them went
the freboat New-YOrker and tugs of the Penn

streams upon themselves 10 keep their sides and

In arguing before Justice Marean yesterday
morning for continuation Of the stay OF the man
damus that issued by Justice Maddox to COM
pei the Kings County General Democratic Commit

To this, Justice Marean replied; IF you put him
back can you not then expel him again. on the
ground furnished in the decision Of the Court or
AppeaIs?'
NO sir" said Mr.. Patterson I'VE cannot expel

. petition for discharge. He was ap.
pointed February 2, 1888, and filed his
first account on September 10, 1884.
when the estate owed him $2790.69.
Since then he has received nothing,
but has paid $254.60 for land sold which
was afterward discovered not to b.
decedent's property. Without calcu-

owes him 1904, but Mr.. Schaefer
valves the whole amount for the bene-

BXAGGERATES THE DANGERS,

Mr.. McCants Stewart still shows that
he is all right in principle but some
what mixed in detail relative to the
Republican party organization in Ha-
wall. He overestimates the danger
Of fractional strife. II there is the dan
ger that Mr.. Stewart presupposes, the
difficulties will be aggravated by the
National committee delegating author
ity to any man or men previous to the
general territorial convention. TIE
Republican party organization Is not
based on the principles Of Masonic
lodges or any other fraternal order.
The authority Of the Republican party
comes direct from the people AMI
should seek no other source. Ii Is the
general sentiment among the people,
as first voiced by the Bulletin, that no
general movement towards organiza.
tion should be made until the Terrltor-
ial bill becomes law and our exac.
status in the nation Is known. This
ruling sentiment is what has caused
the various efforts Of organization en-
thusiasts in this city and Hilo to fail
by the wayside.
When the Territorial organization is
established, call from a public meet
ing in this city will be needed through
out the Islands, and there will be no
disturbing elements resulting from the
delegation of authority by the Nation.
