has been reported that Mr.. Hogg Is

vigorously denied by the Ex-Governor.
Since the first discovery of oil in
Beaumont Ex-Governor Hogg has been
the most picturesque figure in the
field 1t Is stated that he has cleared
$S,OOO.0OO by his operations. Mr..
Hogg was born In Texas tifty-three
years ago. ,As boy he worked on
farm. Later he became a printer and
finally took up the study Of law and
was admitted to the bar. He was four
years Attorney General of the State
and in 1890 was elected Governor and
reelected two years later.
Personally there Is nothing attractive
in Governor Hogg. He has fought his
way to the front by sheer force and
determination He lacks the graces
which charm the general run Of men.
Terribly in earnest about everything
he undertakes, he has always been a
bitter opponent Of the trusts. Know
ing this, his friends doubt the state
ment that he has allied his interests
with Standard Oil. His character Is
without blemish. No faint of scandal
has ever touched him. While he some

RIVER DISASTER.
CITY OF PIrTSBUR0 DESTROYED
BY FIRE.
Estimated That Fully Half Of the $50 Persons
on Board Either Persisted in the Flames
or We're Drowned-lost Boat Was the
Passenger Steamer City Of Pittsburs-and
Disaster Occurred Near Cairo.

Cairo, ILL.,, April 21.-One of the worst
disasters in the history of river naviga-
ton occurred shortly after 4 o'clock Sun
day morning near Ogdens landing, near
this city. While almost all on board
were asleep the steamer City of Pitts
burg was discovered to be on fire, and in
a few minutes was burned to the water
edge. The loss of over $4,000 on the
steamer does not include tfie cargo, both
being a total loss. The latest estimates
are that there were $50 persons on board
and that not more than half of them
were saved, many of the later being
burned or injured. AS the register of
the steamer was burned no list can be
given either of the victims or the sur
vivors, and in the confusion it has been
impossible to get con- plete lists. Capt.
Phillips admits that the death list may
reach 60.
Fire Burns Fiercely.
The fire was discovered in the forward
hatch, at 4 :05 a. H., and burned fiercely.
The captain and clerk declare that in all
80 persons have been accounted for,
leaving 60 people lost or unaccounted
for. There were 20 passengers on board
ana ~ OF the crew.
Most of the passengers were still in
bed when Second Clerk Phillips gave the
alarm. The engineers at once started
all the pumping engines and the crew
brought all the hose into play. Amid
the streams of water on all sides the
flames from the lower deck and dense
clouds of smoke. the passengers rushed
from their staterooms and frightful
panic ensued. The appeals of the Off
GERS and crew could not appease the ter
ror-stricken crowds that interfered with
those threw water on the flames as well
as those working with the lifeboats. Few
could adjust life preservers or do any
thing else for themselves. Boats from
the shore took off numerous passengers.
Headed for the Bank.
The burning steamer was quickly
headed for the bank. A number of pas
sengers who jumped off the stern and
tried to swim ashore through the swift
current were drowned. Many also per-
ished in the flames. Help, except from
people living near by, did not arrive till
2:3O o'clock this afternoon, and passen-
gers with only nightclothes and without
food suffering terribly.
The steamer Maud Kilgore brought
the survivors to this place at p. m. and
the several societies Of the city rendered
all persons assistance in the way of cloth
ing. etc.

BRUSSELS, April IA serious riot has

The police, in attempting to disperee

ONE OF HILLS PLANS.
To Harness Mountain Streams for Generation OF
Power to Haul His Trains.

New York, April 21.-Immense plans
now under consideration for the develop
ment of power for electrical transmission
indicate an enormous growth of that in
dustry.
Perhaps the most elaborate and extra
ordinary undertaking now occupying the
attention of electrical engineers, is the
project of President j. j. Hill for utiliz-
ing the forces of the mountain torrents
now going to waste in the Cascade range
to haul loaded trains over the mountain
passes from Eastern Washington to the
Pacific slope, and back again. With
this purpose in view, engineers of the
Westinghouse Company are now consid-
ering the resources at their command,
preparatory to making plans for the
practical realization of what is in Mr..
Hills mind.
Explorations have been made in the
Cascades and numerous water courses
discovered which may be utilized for the
creation of energy. The project of har-
Messing the Spokane Falls and the trans.
mission of the power thus generated
across the plains of Easter Washington
to the mountains is even considered a
feasible and practical plan. Not only is
the waste power of the water to be uti :
lied, but steam generated at coal mines
in the Cascade range is to be used to
create electrical energy for the same pur-
pose.
New Use OF Coal.
1t Is a fact capable of demonstration
that electrical power generated at the
mouth of the coal mines may be trans
mitted to the point of utilization with
much greater economy than the trans
portation of the coal. The saving will
be enormous and when supplemented by
the water power of the mountains, the
saving is SO great that the project, from
an economic standpoint, seems almost a
necessity.
The project, which has hardly crystal
lied into a plan as yet, contemplates the
substitution of electric locomotives for
steam locomotives in the mountain di-
visions, to be operated by the third rail
system. The electrical engineers say that
by the substitution of the proposed sys-
tenn, not only will there be great saw
ing in the cost of operation but great
gain in speed and power, and in the ia
cility of handling the heavy traffic Of
the system.

STEAMSHIP CONSOLIDATION.
Clement A. Griscom Says That the Combine
Only Lacks q Few Details.

Philadelphia, April 21.-Clement A..
Griscom, president of the international
Navigation Company, one of the five
trans Atlantic steamship companies
which have been merged under the
direction of j. p. Morgan, said the con-
solidated companies would probably be
in operation under the new conditions
within few months.
So far as the negotiations regarding
the merger are concerned they have been
com pleted, and all that now remains to
be accomplished is the organization OF
the parent company.
"The capitalization of the consolidated
companies" said Mr.. Griscom, twill be
in the neighborhood of 5000, 900. 600.
Working capital, of course, will be pro-
vided and the profits and reserve fund
should enable us to build the necessary
additions to our fleets. While control OF
the company will be held in this country,
it will be strictly international organi-
cation preserving the various companies
included in the consolidation, respecting
their national and local surroundings.
"The negotiations have covered a
period of many years, and was interest
ed in the subject as far back as 1884:
The passage OF the ship subsidy bill
would have but one effect so far as the
new enterprise is concerned. 1t would
enable us to sail ships now building and
hereafter built under the American flag
on an equal footing with the ships OF
other countries. The published state
ments that the ship subsidy bill would
enable us to sail our foreign vessels
under the stars and stripes are incorrect,
az the bill specifies that only American
built ships can benefit by its provisions
and, furthermore, such a course, If pos.
sible, is contrary to the whole scheme "
