in this case the regret is only slightly

 York Docks In Danger.


 NEW YORK, March 19.--For hours last night the river front of Hoboken was threatened with destruction by a fire which started at 8 o'clock ill the center of the Phoenix line pier at the foot of Sixth street, Hoboken, and de stroyed the big steamship British Queen of the Wilson line, burned the Phoenix pier, badly damaged the Bar ber line pier and burned several barges and lighters.
 The loss on the Phoenix line, includ ing the steamship, was S1,000,000. The Wilson line used the Phoenix pier, and the concerns are closely connected. The loss on the Barber pier and by the burning of the barges probably brings the total to 100000.
 The chief officer of the British Queen said that she was valued at between $ToOO0o and $900,00o.
 All sorts of rumors were afioat ill the early stage of the condagration to the effect that scores of lives were lost, but late this morning only two, the chief engineer and q fireman on the British Queen, were reported missing.
 
 down the North river and some foated over to the New York side, setting fire to two piers. Engines were ready for this emergency, and the blazes were soon put out.
 Late. last night it was believed the fire was started by some disgruntled member of the crew of the British Queen. At , D. III. yesterday there was a free fight on board due to the fact that some hands believed they had not been properly fed while at sea. Three members of the crew were arrested who had put up complaint to the steward on behalf of their messmates.
 Tn the same slip as the British Queen were a dozen or more lighters, cotton laden. These caught fire, and only one or two were saved, partially burned. The captain of the lighter Tonawanda saved himself, wife and child by push ing a cotton bale into the water, plac- ing his family and himself on it and padding into the river. The crew of the United States training ship Ports mouth got them ashore safely.
 About midnight Chief Croker of the fire department of New York city be- came alarmed over the safety of the piers on this side of the river. The burning barges from Hoboken were floating to this side, and the chief thought it best to get large force of engines and other fire apparatus lined up along the river front near the Amer ican line and other piers, which are on the water front between Cortlandt and Murray streets.

PRESIDENTIAL PROTECTION.
Senate C0nsiders Measure to Punish
 Those Who Commit Assaults.

Senate Considers Measure to Punish
 Those Who Commit Assaults.
 WASHINGTON, March 19.-For three hours yesterday the senate had under consideration the bill providing for the protection of the president of the Unit ed States and for the punishment by United States courts of those who com nit assaults on him. Mir. Bacon (Ga) opposed the bill, and Mir. Hoar (Mass) and Mir. Mason Qll.) supported it. Mir Bacon's argument followed the lines ot his speech delivered ten days ago. MT Hoars speech was largely legal and constitutional. He maintained the right of the government to protect itselt against assaults upon it's sovereignty through the president, Mr. Mason made an attack upon anarchy and it's meth ods and incidentally sharply criticised an amendment to the bill offered by MT. Bacon. He denounced it as open ing the door to special pleading for the benefit of assassins of the president. This drew MT. Bacon's fire. He consid cred Mir. Mason's criticism personal reflection on himself and resented it with heat. An explanation by the Illi- nois senator cleared the atmosphere.
 Earlier ill the day a lively debate was precipitated by the effort of Mir. Raw lins (Utah) to have printed as q docu- ment some Philippine correspondence. Eventually the matter was ordered printed as requested.
 The general debate on the river and harbor appropriation bill in the house was enlivened by MT. Hepburn Qa), who made his annual onslaught on the measure Contrary to his usual GUS tom, Mir. Hepburn found several things ill the bill to commend, although some of his criticisms were quite severe. The other speakers were Messrs. Ball (Tex.) and Lawrence (1ass.), both members of the committee, and Messrs. White QSy.), Thompson and Burnett (Ala.), who spoke ill favor of improve ments of interest to their districts. 1t was agreed that general debate on the bill should close today at o'clock. Saturday, April 26, was set aside for memorial services on the late Repre- sentative Stokes (S. O and the late Representative Crump (Mich).

offered him more than we can really af- ford to pay" The liberality of the offer is due to the fact that Mir Shea desires to secure the services of good player and he believes that Dowd can fill the bill if he is secured. If Dowd hires out elsewhere it is probable that Brouthers will be field captain and some good player will be looked for. With men like Dowd and Bannon add ed to team it will not be such an easy mark as has been anticipates. Ramon by the way is a brother of the two Bannons that played in this league last season, one with Derby and the other with New Haven. They are q trio of good ones. From all account there seems to be no doubt about Ban. non playing here this year.-New Lon- don Day.

It was shipment to the Rus sian government and will be hurried to Europe by fast steamers.

OLD TIME "PEDs."
Their Records are Much Better Than
 Those of To-day.

The score made by Cavanaugh in the latest six-day match, 532 miles, makes the work done by the old time peds seem like that of giants in comparison with what their successors of the pres ent day are competent to accomplish Time was when the winner had to go close to GOO miles, and sometimes had to surpass that figure, in order to win a match. The majority of the races of late years. however, have seen a little over 800 miles good enough for victory. Dan O'Leary, who once startled the world by going 520 miles in six days or Charlie Powell, who used to jog 530 or more, could clean up most of the six-day racers of the present time.

WITH THE WREsTLERs.

A Boston paper is making some talk about match at mixed wrestling be- tween Dan Mcleod and Harvey Par ker. As Parker is doing well with his burlesque company and is, perhaps, not really in his best condition for a hard and punishing match there would seem to be q fine opportunity for the Boston suggestion to fall fiat unless the men are merely going to do little exhibition work for the dollars.
 More matches at local wrestling are made or talked of, and the chances that all will make money are slight. The sport lovers want to see some fast work. and they want no jockeying. It is also told to the Enterprise that If there is any open faking in the bouts there may be q refusal by the authori- ties to grant permits for more matches Wrestling has reached the stage here where it will be well for the experts to go easy for awhile. and if they io make matches, pull them off with de- termination and honesty.-Brockton Enterprise.
 The police took an active part in the wind-up of the wrestling match be- tween Leo Pardello and Stephano Far. ice of Italy, at Clarendon hall, East Thirteenth street. last night. The pair were advertised to meet at mixed style, best two out of three falls, for $250 q side and the gate receipts. The hall was comfortably filled when the match began. which was few minutes after 10 o'clock. Pardello won the toss and agreed on Graeco- Roman fer the first bout. Florrie Barnett was the referee. At the beginning of the match Farice tossed Pardello about at will The lat ter was beefy and in no condition. and many of his packers figured on him being vanquished in a hurry. But as the contest progressed he grew stouter and threw Farice. The time of the bout was 12 minutes , seconds. After five minutes rest the match was re- sumed. Farice lasted 19 minutes : seconds, being downed with half Nell son and crotch hold. The style was catch-as-catch-can One of Fariee's friends disputed the genuineness of the fall and made a bee-line for Pardello. The latter ducked and Pardello came back with blow on the solar p1exus. Disorder at once prevailed. everybody taking part. But the police quickly ap- peared on the scene and quiet re- sumed. Pardello when officially called the winner was loudly cheered. Three preliminary bouts were also decided. Tn the first affair Harry Brause threw Joe Goldstein twice. Mike Willard and Gus Dimont wrestled a fifteen minute draw, and James Callibroso de feated George Roeber. All the pre1im- inaries were at catch-as-catch-can style.
