PIER FIRE WAS COSTLY
Property Loss In Hoboken Blaze Put
at About $2,OOO,OOO.
DEFECTIVE WIRES THE CAUSE
Phenix Line Pier, Steamer British
Queen and q Number of Light
ers and Barges Burned-At
Least Two Lives Lost.

New York, March 20.-Two dead, two
missing, six victims In hospital and
property worth about $2.OOO,OOO de-
stroyed is the story of the fire that
burned the Phoenix line pier in Ho-
boken, N. j., and the steamer British
Queen, besides dozen lighters and
barges
1t Is known almost to certainty that
none of the .129 longshoremen employed
about the Phoenix line pier and on the
steamer British Queen Is lost.
A superficial examination by the ma
rine underwriters during the day re-
suited in a statement that the fire was
due to defective electric light wires on
the pier.
Chief Engineer Scott of the British
Queen, who was suffering with rheu--
matism and was supposed to have per-
lshed, has turned up considerably In.

in the water an hour and thirty-fve
minutes and was rescued by tugboat
men, who transferred him to the Brit

the night.
All the injured at st. Mary's hospital
are doing well. The dead are Patrick
Hussey, longshoreman, and John john
son, sailor of the British Queen.
story of the Fire.
A little puff of smoke in the middle
of the Phoenix line pier developed into
hot blaze, which quickly caught a
great pile of wicker baskets. The fire
flashed through the contents SO quickly
that the men who were working on the
pier had no time to get ashore, and
many of them foolishly went aboard
some Standard Oil lighters and barges
which lay along the north side of the
pier loaded with oil and cOttonseed Oil
cakes. Others rushed to the steamship
British Queen, which was lying along
the south side Of the pier, and soon
were leaping overheard and swimming
to the Barber line pier, which was next,
to the southwark.
Within a very few minutes the Brit
ish Queen was in flames from stem to
stern, and the fire had worked it's way
against the north wind to the lighters
and barges. Laden as they We're with
inflammable material, they blazed up
SO high that they caught the attention
of every New Yorker who looked to the
west at that moment.
The steamship Heathburn was lying
at the north side of the Barber pier,
but was towed out in time to escape
being burned. Twenty Cinnamon, who
comprised her crew, fled ashore from
the menacing hames only to be arrest
ed by customs officers for violating the
Chinese exclusion act. The heartburn
was followed to safety by the Mas
dam. The lighters and barges met
worse fate and afforded splendid
spectacle as they foated out into mid
stream wrapped in flame.
The fire on the pier is still smolder-
ing, and two fire engines are playing
water on the ruins. The British Queen
is ruined hulk and is now beached off
Brooklyn.

not put up the franchise at auction,

RELIEF Bill FOR CUBA.
Chairman Payne at Work Upon the
Reciprocity Measure.
CONCESSIONS ON ALL GOODS.
The Reductions Amount to 20 Per
Cent. and the Reciprocity Pee
riOd VIII Extend to Decem-
her of Next Year.

Washington, March 20. - Chairman
Payne of the ways and means commit
tee states that he will at once frame
the Cuban reciprocity bill as decided
upon at a Republican conference.
The bill will have two sections. The
first will give the president authority
to negotiate a reciprocity agreement
with Cuba, granting 20 per cent con-
cessions on all goods. The second sec
ton will cover the so called Sibley
amendment limiting the duration Of
the reciprocity period to Dec. l, 1903
Mr.. Payne has not yet determined
when the bill will be brought before
the ways and means committee in or
der to be reported to the house.
The leaders Of the element opposing
the reciprocity plan will hold meet.
ing and consider their future plans.
The Day In the Senate.
Soon after the senate convened a
house bill for the relief of F. r. Coyne,
postmaster of Chicago, was favorably
reported by Mr.. Mason, chairman Of
the committee on pOstoftices and post
roads. and passed. The purpose of the
measure is to relieve Postmaster Coyne
from the loss of $74,61O. the value of
stamps stolen by burglars on Oct. 10.
1901.
Other bills were passed as follows:
To provide for holding terms of court
in the district of Utah; to ratify an
agreement with the Indians of the
Devils Lake reservation, in North Da.
kota.
The senate then resumed considera-
ton of the bill for the protection Of
the president. Mr.. Spooner wis ad-
dressed the senate in support of the
measure, dealing especially with the
legal and constitutional questions in
vOlved.
Mr.. spOOner's Contentious.
Replying to the argument Of Mr..
Bacon, Mr.. Spooner said it did not fol
low because under the act of Edward
III. assassination of the king of Eng
land or attempted assassination OF the
king was treason that the assassna-
ton of the president of the United
States was treason.
An assault upon the president, how
ever, was crime against the govern
ment. and he did not think the govern
ment was disabled by the constitution
from furnishing it as crime. BY its
very nature it was an insidious assault
upon the sovereignty of the United
States, whatever might be it's motive.
During the session of the house Mr..
Mann Qll.) of the committee on cleo
lions No. l gave notice that imnedi-
ately after the disposal of the river and
harbor bill he would call up the con-
tested election cases of Spears versus
Burnett and Moss versus Rhea.
The general debate upon the river
and harbor bill then was resumed,
and Mr.. Ransdell Ga.), another of the
committee, defended the appropria-
lions for the lower Mississippi.

Generals Testimony Before the SEM
ate Philippine Committee.
Washington, March 20.-General Otis
continued his testimony before the
senate Philippine committee during
the day. Referring to his order or
Sept. 8. $685. directing the withdrawal
of the insurgent troops outside the de-
lenses Of Manila. General Otis explain
ed that a commission from Aguinaldo's
cabinet visited him.
General Otis said he did not give the
insurgents actual permission to occu-
by the blockhouses which Aguinaldo
claimed had been given. What he had
said was: II don't care anything about
the Lighthouses. We are not going to
take possession of Them"
General Otis said that Aguinaldo had
demanded of General Merritt the right
to occupy the palace and to make APP
pointments in the civil government,
which caused General Merritt to cable
Washington for Instructions. The re-
ply was that there must be no dual &C.
cupation Of Manila.
General Otis then detailed the cir
cumstances attending the capture of
Iloilo, the offer of the Spanish general.
Rios, to hold the place against the in
surgents pending the arrival Of United
States troops and the capture of the
town by the Visayans before the ar
