Gummere, United States consul gem
eral, from Tangier to the seaport Of
Mazagan, whence he win tb1veI over
land TO Morocco City, tie political
capital of Morocco, there to demand
from the sultan an apology for an ap-
parent discourtesy to the United
States, committed by the sultan's
grand vizier and his minister to for
eign affairs. At the same time, Mr..
Gummere viii request the sultan to
settle certain cIairus Of the United
States long pending against the gov
ernment Of Morocco. these claims
arose largely from alleged undue In
reference by officials of the sultan
with American citizens doing busi-
ness In Morocco. When Mr.. Gum
mere said he would see the sultan
personally on the matter of these
claims, he was told by the grand
vizier and his minister Of foreign af.
fairs that any such effort would be
useless, as the sultan would remove
himself and his ministers from their
capital, Morocco City If the Ameri-
can consul attempted to visit them
there. This aiscourteous statement
constitutes the offense for which the
Moroccan government has been asked
for apology and to secure which apoI-
ogy Mr.. Gummere, backed up by the
New York at Mazagan, will travel
overland to the sultan's capital.
The United States experienced
some difficulty and delay last year in
securing the payment of $1,000 from
Morocco for the latter's failure to
make any attempt to punish the lead
ers of mob who burned and killed
the naturalized American citizen,
Marcus Ezequi, at Fee, last June,
After considerable correspondence on
the matter and after the United
States had threatened to send a war
ship to Tangier, Morocco paid the
$4,000 in question.

NEW YORK, March 2o.--A river OF

Inhabitants were asleep this morning.
and reduced II buildings. stores and
residences to ashes The coniiagra-
ton was extraordinary In character.
and In its origin. The village is in q
valley along the New Jersey Central
Railroad. An immense freight train
was coming east at 6:30 A. M. II was
composed OF string Of coal cars, and
Is tank cars. High above the village
the tracks Of the railroad run along
the side Of mountain. They descend
as they approach the village, but even
at the station are considerably above
the main street, which runs up to the
depot at steep incline.
A few miles west Of the village,
while coming down the Incline around
the mountain the train parted. The
engineer on the forward end pulled
open the throttle Of the engine
and tried to race away from
the section, which was increasing
its speed every second. He man
aged to keep clear OF the racing
cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first. The first sec
ton, composed of the coal cars, was
going at high rate Of speed. and
none Of its cars were joited on the
track. The oil tanks on the runaway
section were hurled sideways across
the tracks, and the oil tank cars be-
hind were piled on top OF 1t in every
way. The first crash caused the oil
In one Of the tanks to explode, and
ignite, and the terrific heat caused the
other cars to explode, one after the
other. The incline running from the
depot down to the main street acted
as siuice for the burning oil, and It
poured into the chief thOroughfare of
the village, setting fire to every thing
II touched. Houses, fences. trees,
and barns were reduced to
ashes in an incredibly short time.
Villagers awakened Oy the expIo-
sions rushed from the on-coming food
Of blazing oil, carrying children in
their arms. Some risked their lives to
free horses, cows and dogs in outbuiId-
ings, but other unfortunate animals
could not be reached in time. and were
burned. Within i've minutes after the
first explosion the flowing river Of oil
had reached the Masonic Temple in
the heart Of the village and ten min
utes later that structure was envel-
oped In flames. Then building after
building, all Of them frame. took FIRE
as the oil reached them, and within
half an hour an area of 400 feet square
was a mass of flame. From the
wrecked cars the oil flowed down the
incline Of the railroad track, making
long line of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted the tracks. The
loss is estimated at from $4,000 to
SIS. 900.

ANXIOUS TO ASSIST CHINA.
Ministers Desire to Put Her on HeI
Feet,


PEKIN, March Is. - The British
headquarters here report the with
drawal of both the Russian and Brit
ish troops from the disputed terri
tory In Tien Tsin. M. De Giers, the
Russian minister to China, believes
that everything will be amicably adj
iusted at London and st. Peters
burg, and doubts the probability of
further trouble in the matter. Cen
eral Voyron, commander OF the
French troops, has ordered a new
regiment to Tien Tsin to replace the
one now here. French officers here
think 1t was q mistake to leave q
regiment recruited in a city at Tien
Tsin. This regiment was composed
of tough Paris element.
At the meeting of the ministers
held this morning, the only question
considered was that of policing the
legation quarters. A committee of
commissioners has been appointed to
discover China's resources and re-
port on her ability to pay the indem-
nifty to be demanded by the powers.
Many minister's are strongly op-
posed to China's having to pay to
keep an army of from 10000 to H.
600 men here for the next two years,
thinking this entirely unnecessary.
Even those ministers who were here
during the siege we're tired of see
ing Pekin a military camp. They
hope China viii be put on her feet
as soon as possible.
