New York (SpccaD The White
Star liner Cymric, which has arrived
here had a terrible experience while
crossing the Atlantic. At noon OF
Sunday August 5, when the big YES
sci was nineteen hours out iron
Queenstown, fire was discovered among
the cargo in the forward hold, and II
ragged thirty-six hours, until midnight
on Monday when it was reported tc
be under control Hold No. !, where
the fire is believed to have originated
had been flooded for the purpose OF
checking the flames. The water leaked
through into other compartments aft,
causing damage to the general mer-
chandse stored there. The boat, how
ever was not seriously injured
The loss on the cargo was so heavy
that Agent John Lee, of the White
Star Line notified the consignees of
the cargo that they would be expected
to pay their pro rata share of the loss.
Captain Lindsay, of the Cymric, told
the experience of the men on the ves-
sci In fighting the fire. In addition 10
the ordinary danger of such work, the
fire could not be located, and deadly
chlorine gas, which poured out OF

the men to remain long at work.
The officer of the vessel headed the
men, and man after man was lifted un-
conscious from the hold time and time
again.
The captain was carried out four
times, and once it appeared as though
breathing had stopped.
In the hold were hogsheads OF
hlaoahfpcr aqh frhh
heat and fire caused chlorine gas to
generate, and this poured out at a ter
rife rate As soon as the hatch was
thrown off the upper deck on Sunday,
Captain Lindsay and some of the men
who were investigating the source of
the fire were overcome and had to be
lifted to the upper deck. DR.. w. j.
Fleetwood the ships surgeon, was
called on, and he was kept busy re-
viving them. So many were overcome
that he was compelled to summon a
physician who was a passenger to his
assistance. The men as they were
brought out of the hold were laid out
on deck where restoratives were ap-
piled. Some were so far gone that ar
tificial respiration was resOrted to.
During Sunday Chief officer Joseph
Evans, First officer Frank HOwarth
Second Officer Fletcher, Third officer
Smith, Boatswain Robert Jones and
Lamp-trimmer Heating and several Of
the crew were lifted unconscious to
the deck. At times some of the men
exposed themselves to great danger to
drag their comrades into the fresh air
The fire was not declared out until
Monday night, and after the men had
been at work day and a half. It was
not until the flames had been extin-
guished that the exact location was de-
termined, The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the spontaneous COM
bustion of some hay in which large
case of earthenware was packed. This
case was in the center of the hold,
under the lower hatch, and surround
ed on all sides by hogsheads of bleach
ing powder and soda ash.

Italian at the White House with Pro-
iectile as a Present.

Washington (SpeciaD AN Italian,
who gave his name as Professor"
Figuccla, of Feluccn, Italy, caused some
excitement at the White House by ex-
hibiting brass projectile which he
wished to present to the President. He
arrived during the forenoon accom-
panied by a negro who bore a large
satchel. When stopped at the front
door by Usher Mitchell he presented a
slip of paper hearing this inscription:
Professor Figuccia presents this pro-
iectile to the President of the United
States" He took out Of the satchel a
very heavy brass projectile and a long
wire, and explained that the pushing
Of the wire through a hole which had
been bored in the end of the pro-
jectile's nose would cause a big explO-
sion. The visitor could speak no Eng
lish and made known his mission by
signs. After some questioning it was
concluded the Italian was an inventor
seeking official recognition of his de-
vice, and he was directed to the Italian
Embassy. Later the Secret Service
was notified.

N. p. c: VS.. ASTORIA,
Dental College Scores a Touchdown on
A. T.. c. Grounds Yesterday
Gnnle 4 Rather Slow One.

The weather yesterday afternoon
cleared up very satisfactorily for the
football game and outside OF a few
light showers proved very favorable.
| The ground was in fair shape. consid-
ering the amount Of rain that had fallen
| en- II.
The game went of rather slow and
neither side did any very brilliant work.
The Dental College team were consider
ably heavier than the home team and
showed the effect of better training.
The home team was severely crippled
by the absence from the team Of two OF
its best players. Painter. who did ex-
cellent work in the last game. could not
be with the team on account OF busi-
ness, and Burlington. though he was in
attendance at the game. was suffer-
ing from the result of the explosion
OF bomb during the parade Tuesday
evening, which split one of his fingers
and barred him from playing on the
team.
During the first half OF the game
neither side succeeded in scoring and
the play was very slow. Near the close
of this half Portland broke through
the line and had an excellent chance
for a touchdown but their man forgot
how to run and CasSell, after q twenty
yard sprint, tackled him for a down.
After one or two attempts on the part
of the visitors to buck the Astoria line,
Astoria secured the ball on an error
and punted the ball clear to the mid
die Of the field. where Portland went 10
sleep on II. Score at the end of the
first half, 0 to 0.
In the second half the visitors had
evidently come to the conclusion that
they did not have such a walkover as
they expected and braced up and play
ed little faster ball. The wind which
during the first half of the game had
strongly favored the Dentals in punting
died away as the home team took the
windward end Of the field. The Dentals
kicked on and made about fifteen
yards. Astoria tried the line but at the
third down had eight yards to gain
and punted. Portland then took the
ball and slowly but surely pushed AS
toria's line back; the local team stub
bornly contesting every inch Of the
ground. Back they went to Astoria's
10-yard line, to the 5-yard line. Here
the Astorians held them for the third
down when an end play by Myer car
ried the ball across Astorla's goal line
and scored a touchdown for the visi-
tors. They however failed to kick a
goal. Only few minutes Of time re-
mained and, the teams hardly got down
to work when time was called. Score
5 to 0 in favor of North Pacific Dental
College.

According to the report Of man who

morning rear the foot of Fourteenth

o'clock cllnglng to a pile in the water.
his partner, man by the name of
Olson. was drowned by falling over

would appear that the two men ar
rived down on the o. r. & N. boat that
morning, and started to walk down
the trestle and being somewhat un-
der the influence Of liquor fell over
board. One Of the men managed to
cling to q pile and his lusty cries for
help. attracted the attention OF some
men In Gaston's stable, who hastened
TO his rescue. With the aid Of the
Japanese from the Rising Sun restau-
rant the man was finally gotten on
shore. He told them that his companion
went overheard with him and that he
was probably drowned. He refused to
give his own name, but said he lived
In Uppertown. He seemed to be a
Scandinavian and was rather roughly
dressed. No trace has been found as
yet Of the other man.
