President Mckinley regrets the fail
ura Of his tender of the good offices Of
this government to Great Britain to
assist In bringing about peace in South
Africa, but recognizes that Lord Sails
bury had right to decline the tender
on behalf of his government. The
general impression in Washington is
ttat nothing else can or will be done
by this government, and that The Ian
guage of Loid Salisbury's declination
is in effect strong hint to European
nations not to attempt mediation.
Middletown transcript., 1900-03-24

No time has been set for vote on
the other Porto Rico bill, dealing with
the government of the island and the
tariff, but it is not likely to be for sew
eral weeks, as Senators Aldrich, Platt,
of Conn.,, and Teller, who are much in
terested in the measure have gone to
Cuba, and will not return for about
two weeks. Meanwhile, the debate
will go on. The passage of the Emer-
geney Porto Rican Bill has made it
unnecessary TO hurry in disposing Of
this one.

trial of the road commissioner there is more

time to wait for one crew to get over all tn,

when cash is paid is half IL season of better

about bicycle roads and taxing bicycles

Great Loss of Life and Property.

A Big Fire in HobOken Burns Four Great
Piers of the North German Lloyd Line
and Three Large Ocean Steamships. 1t
is feared that 200 Lives were Lost.
NEW YORK, June 3O.-The four
great piers of the North German LLOYD
line in Hoboken were totally burned this
afternoon.
The large passenger steamship Saale,
the large freight and passenger steam
ship Main and the great freight and
passenger steamship Bremen of the
North German Lloyd line were burned
to the waters edge. The Hamburg
American line steamer Phoenicia, a
passenger steamship, was also burned
to the waters edge. Campbell's storage
warehouse on the opposite side of the
street, five big buildings in all, five stories
high, tonight are blazing with intense
fury and they are doomed The loss is
roughly estimated at S15. 1000, 600. One of
the Campbell warehouses alone was
valued at 81, 100000.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
which came in today. was saved. though
badly scorched at the bows. The Saal
and the Phoenicia We're towed down to
the Jersey flats blazing furiously, and
they were left to their destruction. An
estimate OF the loss of life cannot be
given. Shortly after the fire started a
score of men were picked up in the
river badly burned. 1t is feared that
POO periShed.
When the Bremen, Phoenicia and
Saale were in the stream, men were seen
at the port holes, waving their handker-
chiefs for assistance, but no help could
be rendered them as the heat from the
burning ships was so great no vessel
could approach anywhere near them.
When the fire had got under such great
headway that it was seen the Hamburg
American line pier had to 60, it was
blown up with dynamite.
New YORK, July 2. The partially
submerged hulks of the huge steamers
Saale, Bremen and Main lie smoking
in the upper bay, apparently as bad
ly wrecked as the vessels of Cervera's S
fleet. Many dead lie within their iron
sides.
The remains of the piers are still burn
ing and much wreckage is floating
about.
Forty bodies have been recovered
No estimate places the total number of
the dead at less than 800. 1t is now
believed that they were all employees of
the steamship company and that no
visitors or passengers were on board the
ill fated vessels.
1t is estimated that the money loss is
not less than $l0,00O,OO0.

some months and within short time had
twice attemptedto commit suicide by drown
ing. The second attempt was made at

police resulted in her being found in half
drowned condition on the beach near Bay
Point hotel
She was missing again to-day and it was
while searching for her that her brOther-in-
law, Mr.. Blackington, found her suspended
from a beam in his stable. He Immediately
cut the body down and summoned a phySi-
clan, who stated that life had been extinct
over an hour.
In order to commit suicide Mrs. Sawtelle
had fashioned a cloth rope from a horse
kblanket, and mounting dry goods box had
tied one end to beam.
II Coroner JudkinS stated that in jumping
from the box Mrs. Sawtelle was victim OF
almost instant strangulation. No inquest
will be held.
Mrs Sawtelle was As and a daughter OF
Ephraim A. Wilmington, who survives She
is also survived by her husband and one
daughter, Susan.
