MR.. ADDICKS
WANTS PLUMS.
He Confers With Postmaster
General Payne on Stu
alton in Delaware.
CLAIM TO PATRONAGE.
Election Of Tuesday Demon
strated That He Has a
Large Majority Of Re-
publican Votes.

One OF Postmaster General Payne's
callers yesterday was j. Edward
Addicks, of Delaware. The two
talked together for about an hour.
The understanding is that Mr.. Ad-
dicks went to Washington largely
on his own initiative, that he might
explain frankly to the political ad-
wiser of the administration what
the situation in this state really is. (
Mr. Payne has for weeks been look
ing carefully into the prospects in
Delaware, and was fully cognizant
Of the preparations to call an extra
session of the legislature in the
event that the Democrats had swept
the'State last Tuesday.
During the conference Mr.. Addicks
clnted out that he had proved him
self the choice of the Republican
rank and file in Del ware; that he
was the party .e ader, and that he
was entitled to the support of the
administration IN the distribution
of official patronage. In other words
Mr.. Addrks requested that further
ammunition be refused to the regular
in the shape of appointments. He
told Mr.. Payne he had polled $4,000
votes for his candidates, while thel
opposition had not poled much over
5000. The Democratic candidate
for Congress had received over l6, 600
Where the Republicans were united,
Mr.. Addicks said they received a
majority of over 1000 against the
Democrats.
Postmaster General Payne, fol-
lowing Mr. Addicks departure, said
that this visitor had made a favor
able impression, and did not desig-
nate what line of action should be
followed as to appointments.
Mr.. Addicks, " hesc )ntinued, "has
demonstrated that he has more
popular strength fhe other side.
The ratio is 13 to s, according to
the election figures. This is the
first time that the rival factions in
Delaware have actually stood up
and been counted. Both sides have
heretofore claimed that they repre-
sented the Republican voters of Del
aware, but there has not been q
a count of noses up to this month" +"
those who are familiar with the
Delaware situation say it is not i'm
probable that Il Federal appoint
ment Of some Importance will be
made i'll Delaware before long, and
that the appointee will be in SYM
Iathy with Mr. Addicks' Republi-
ranism.
As for the Senatorships from
Delaware. Mr.. Addicks had no very,
'ncouraging informal ion to give to,
Mr.. Payne. The Democrats showed
hat they were utterly incompetent

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Thc tcmpora.
ry wooden structure around the up.
per portion of the western tower of the
new Brooklyn bridge took fire yester-
day afternoon and burned fcrcGly for
I several hours. When the fire was dis
| covered. several water towers were dis
| patched to the bridge 1t was found
impossible for the water towers to cope
with the flames, and it was decided to
allow the fire to burn itself out A
crowd Of from 5000 to 10000 people
assembled, and there were wild rumors
that many persons had been killed.
The fire started in some unknown
way among the wooden superslructure
near the top of the New York tower,
800 feet above the water.
a number of workmcn are known to
have been there when the fire started,
and it has not yet been ascertuined
whether they escaped with their lives
Or not. 1t is feared that they were
dropped that fearful distance with the
parts of the superstructure which were
burned away by the flames.
Ferryboats plying between New York
and Brooklyn We're crowded with ex-
cited throngs, all pushing and crowd
Ing for points of vantage.
The fire lit up the sky and attracted
thousands Of people to Brooklyn bridge,
where an excellent view Of the specta-
Gle was to be had.
All the way up the great tower from
the pier out in the river to the top
there were the yellow pine wooden
platforms and stairs along which the
men did their work.
All this structure was blazing in a
geyser of flame which it was practi.
cally impossible for the tiremen to com
bat
Swinging from the tower to the west
toward the Bowery was great fcs-
toon of flame and blaze from the burn
ing footwalks and other wooden struc-
lures along the cables.
Even If the flames do not destroy the
structure so that it falls it is feared
that the temper of the costly steel
work and cables will be entirely ruined
by the fierce heat.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular ever seen. From the top of the
towers, the sides of which were
wrapped in fire, rose floating strcamerS
of flame and smoke. Drawn against
the black sky We're the four loops of
flame along the cables.
