ACTION ON BRIDGE BILL.
Bill Is Being Opposed in washing
ton by President Egan.

NCAA w E&Ans
1t is expected that the bill granting
authority for the Seaboard Air Line
bridge across the river at Savannah,
connecting the city with Hutchinson's
Island, will be brought to a vote in
the Senate on Monday. 1t has already
passed the House, and news has been
received here that Monday has been
hxed upon as the day for the measure
to receive the consideration of the SEN
ate.
President John M. Egan of the Cen
trail Railway and Ocean Steamship
Company, who went to New York last
week to attend a railroad meeting
stopped over in Washington Yesterday.
and he was busy during his stay. 1t
has been known that Mr.. Egan has
opposed the construction of a bridge
across the river at the proposed point,
for the reason that, as he holds. it
would interfere with the river traffic.
damage the port and shoal the chan
nell
Yesterday morning the report was
received that Mr.. Egan was lobbying
against the bill. Some weeks ago he
said to representative of the Morning
News that he thought it would be a
blow at the interests of the port to
permit the construction of the bridge,
though he did not know at that time
that he would take any active part in
an effort to defeat the bill.
The piers of the bridge, Mr.. Egan
maintains, would necessarily be obsta-
Giles in the channel, Offering obstruc-
tons to the passage of steamships and
sailing vessels. There would also be
delays, he holds, incident to the lifting
of the cantilevers or the bascule, as
the case may be, for the passage OF
vessels.
Shoaling would follow the erection of
piers in the stream, Mr.. Egan says, as
sediment would form for some distance
in the channel, downstream from the
piers. This would mean additional cx-
pense for dredging

CALLED OUT BY TWO FIRES.
One "A House on Bolton, the other n
state street Chimney

Fire was discovered last night in the
two-story frame house, No. 7S3 Bolton
street, east, occupied by Cora Clifford.
colored, and before the arrival of Hose
Company No. 1, considerable damage
had been done. The household effects
were badly damaged by water.
The fire started in a rear room on
the second floor, and the house was
filled with smoke when the flremen ar
rived. Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in locating the flames, and
the door to the room had to be broken
open. The fire had already eaten its
way into the ceiling and did a good
deal of damage before it was extin-
guished. The Clifford woman was un-
able to account for the blaze, and it
is presumed to have started from a
defective fiue.
A burning chimney in the residence
of Mr.. p. T. Haskell No. 122 State
street, east, gave the impression last
night that big fire was in progress,
and the northern section of the fire de-
partment was called out by an alarm
from box IA at Broughton and Aber-
corn streets.
When the firemen reached the house
flames were bursting out of the Chin
ney, and it was thought that the house
was on fire. The tongues of flame
gave way to sparks and a continuous
shower gave the chimney the appear
ance of a young volcano, and attracted
the attention of large crowd. Sparks
shot out of the fireplace in the front
parlor as well as through the chimney,
and firemen with hand extinguishers
were stationed in the house to prevent
the burning of the carpet and furni-
ture. The firemen remained until all
of the accumulated SCOT had burned. 1t
was the biggest chimney fire" they
had looked after in a great while.

A LETTER IO ROOSEVELT.
An Open Argument Against the
British Horse and Mule Traffic
In the United States.
THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON QUOTED.
Attention Called 10 the Insistence oil
Great Britain Upon the Observ-
ance of the Treaty Immediately
Upon Our Declaration of Wai
Against Spain in 1898.

Chicago, April 19.-Peter Van Wis
singer, who has been M of the most
active friends of the Beers in Chi.
cago, has SEN to President Roosevelt
an open letter advancing an argu-
ment against the British mule traffic
in the United States. He declares
that the traffic is in violation of the
treaty of Washington.
article 6 of that treaty" the let.
ter reads, lays down three rules by
which the arbitrators are to be gov
erned. The second rule declares a
neutral government is bound not to
permit of suffer either belligerent to
make use of its ports or waters as
the basis of naval operations against
the other. or for the purpose of re-
newal or augmentation of military
supplies or arms or the recruitment
of men,"
Further along, the letter says:
Great Britain made no scruple OF
asserting the terms of the treaty of
Washington against this country up
on the first and only occasion when
our government was at war with a
foreign state. April 26, 1898, the day
after war was declared between the
United States and Spain, Queen Vic
toria issued a proclamation of neu-
trality, insisting upon observance of
the treaty.
'In this proclamation Great Britain
insists that her ports and waters shall
not be used to abet the military ac-
tivity of belligerent powers, and we
now request the enforcement of this
rule"
BY the classification prepared by
the state department, published by
Secretary Long, June 20, 1898, in his
instructions to blockading vessels
and cruisers" general order 492, para
graph 19) horses are designated as
"~absolutely contraband' of war. If
additional argument were needed to
prove that horses have been consid-
cred contraband of war by the Unit,
ed States government, the following
instances in which they have been SC
classed might be cited:
In the treaty between the United
States and Bolivia CREATES and con.
ventions, 1889, p. 500 Art. II, horses
with their furniture are comprehend.
ed as contv'aband of war.
In the following other treaties a
similar specification is made:

COSTLY FIRE AT DALLAS, TEX.
Two Persons Fatally Injured and Over .
Quarter of a Million In Pror-
erty Swept Away.

Dallas, Tex. April 21.-Two persons
were fatally injured: Fire Chief Ma
gee was Frustrated. and a property
loss of fully S370,OOO was caused by
several fires which occurred here
shortly after three o'clock yesterday
morning. At that hour al alarm was
turned from the Dorsey printing es-
Establishment, and in a short time n
of the fiercest confiagrations which
has visited Dallas in years was in
progress. To add to the troubles of
the fremen, several other alarms
from different parts of the city were
turned in in quick succession.
After fighting the fire for two
hours, Chief Magee was Frustrated.
and the command was turned over to
an assistant. The chief was rescued
from the flames by the police, and
was unconscious for several hours
but was later reported out of danger.
Fireman William Spur was struck
in the face by a flying brick and ia
tally injured.
The. young son of Fire Chief Magee
was found on the floor of the engine
room at the Central station. with q
fractured skull. 1t is supposed that
the lad attempted to slide from the
bunk room to the engine room on one
of the iron poles used by the tiremen
and fell to the floor.
The Dorsey Printing Co.'S plant was
totally destroyed, the loss being
about 100000, half covered by insur.
ance.
While the Dorsey fire was in prog.
ress, a fire broke out on Lamar
street, near Collin, and 20 buildings
we're destroyed. Half of them were
ordinary business houses and the re
mainder boarding houses and dwell.
ings. The Griffith Lumber Co. is n
of the principal losers in that section
of the city, where it is estimated that
the loss will aggregate $4,000, OF
which Griffith & Co. sustain $4,000,
with insurance of $4,000.
The loss OF the Heating Implement
Co. is heavy, but not accurately
known. About a dozen smaller mer'
camille and manufacturing establish
ments were destroyed, the losses
ranging from $4,000 down.
While the big fires were raging a
third one broke OFT in the residence
district of Fisher lane, in South Dali
las. two miles distant, which de-
stroyed four cottages. worth 100000
