BY DANGEROUS FIRE
FERNANDINA SUFFERED.
For n Time the Entire Water Front
Was Threatened.

Fernandina, Fla, Nov. 2S.-The Nc
Nair mill, with all the lumber stored
in the mill yard, one of the Seaboard
Air Line warehouses, two box cars
and a lot of lumber belonging to the
Traction Company were burned here
early tonight. A great deal of the
track in the railroad yard was ruin
ed.
The damage is estimated at $4,000.
The property burned was only partial
ly insured. At one time it looked as
if the entire water front, with shipping,
would be destroyed.
There was large quantity of lumber
and naval stores on the wharves, and
had the fire not been stopped before
reaching them, nothing could have
saved the business part of the city.

A BLOW Is AIMED AT
TOBACCO AND SUGAR.
Southern States May Have Philip
pines to Fight.


pines to Fight.
Washington. Nov. 2S.--For some time
the President has been discussing
with members of Congress the PROPOSE
ton to reduce the duties on Philippine
products coming into this country to
so per cent of the Dingley law rates.
Considerable opposition has devel-
oped to the suggestion, and what the
result of the endeavor to secure a re-
duction of the duties will be cannot
now be foretold. The opposition arises
principally from congressman repre-
senting sugar and tobacco states. They
maintain that if only so per cent. %
the Dingley rates of duty are levied
on sugar and tobacco the industries
represented by those products in this
country will be impaired seriously.
They have indicated to the President
that they will make a hard fight
against the proposed reduction.
1t is understood that the President
may discuss the subject in his annual
message to Congress, but his position
regarding it has not been disclosed.

WESTCOTT A PARTNER.
Claimed That He Was Secretly Con-
nected with Greene and Gaynor.

Claimed That He Was Secretly Com
nected With Greene and GaynOr.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 2S.-H. G. Stone,
counsel for ex-Capt. Carter, who is
here, says that Carter stays here until
his case here is tried.
Garter is in good health, spirits and
courage, and is confident he can show
before a court of justice he was always
honest and straight" says Mr.. Stone.
"a new and important point is that
the government claimed that West
colt, Carter's deceased father-in-law,
was a secret partner with Greene and
Gaynor, and as such was liable to be
indicted with Greene and Gaynor for
any alleged fraud committed by them
to shield themselves.
"Westcott testified that if anything
was received from Greene and Gay
nor he knew nothing about it, except
the 100000 worth of bonds, which he
gave Carter after Carter was arrested,
which bonds, Westcott testified. Greene
brought him at Carter's request after
Carriers arrest. We have found West
colts checks, deposit slips, private
bank account, brokers' accounts, cash
account, and other written evidence,
showing that Westcott owned and held
these Identical bonds as his own for
many years before he said Greene
brought them to him for Carter; that
Westcott bought most of them him
self paying for all of them out of
his own private bank accounts. Cut
off the coupons and cashed many of
them by deposit slips in his own hand
writing; that Westcott gave Carter all
he spent above his salary by frequent
gifts and remittances.

KILLED BY SAVAGES.
Letter Describes Fate of Portion of
Shipwrecked Crew.

Darmariscotta, Me-, Nov. 28.-A letter
received to-day from the wife of Capt.
Hoelstad of the ship Benzwall. wrecked
in Formosa channel, partially confirms
the report that a boat load, including
Morris, the first mate; twelve men and
a woman, were killed on Boteltobago,
an island inhabited by savages.
The letter says five men, including
a Russian, a Japanese and a Filipino,
were found, and seven men and Jap
anese woman, wife of Mate Morris,
were missing.
From the wording, although the let
ter is not explicit, it is thought that
the writer meant that the bodies of
the five men were found.
The letter says that the mate landed
on Boteltobago contrary to the cap
tain's wishes. Capt Hoelstad kept on
to the south cape of Formosa, where
his party was kindly treated by the

WILLIAM WITHDRAWS
HIS OFFER OF A CUP.
He Wants His Race Sailed in 1905
Instead of 1904.

Berlin, Nov. 2S.-Emperor William
has withdrawn his offer of a cup for
a transatlantic yacht race in 1904, on
account of his health, and has substi-
tuted for it, the offer of a cup to be
raced for in 1905
The Emperor, through his represen-
tative, cabled his decision to the
American yachtsmen to-day with his
reasons for the postponement. These
are that the prolonged period of the
Emperor's recovery and the SUISSE
quent accumulation of business has
preveted him from consulting his
yachting advisers to arrange the de-
tails for a transatlantic race until it
was too late for the designers and
builders to have new yachts ready for
a contest in the spring Of 1904.

1902 LIVES WERE LOST.

Berlin, Nov. 2S.-The fishing f1otilla,

1t is estimated that 102 persons lost
their lives in the recent storms on the
North sea. All vessels arriving in the
Weser and the Elbe report seeing much
wreckage and many corpses drifting
about. They were unable, however, to
pick up any of the bodies, owing to
the high seas which were running.

In Harper's Magazine Collins Shack,
elford tells the true story Of the fatal
expedition OF the explorer Bering, from
whom Boring strait Is named. Here
IL his account Of the adventurous death
after the loss of his ship:
"Bering, who had been for some time
totally disabled, was brought ashore
on hand barrow In boat and placed
In sheltering hollow, where his still
faithful men mere handful - had
cleared the snow from the sand. Even
then he was dying, His great age and
the hardships he had undergone on
this voyage made his struggle for life
hopeless.
His slow passing AWAY was pathetic
and pltlful. In effect he partially
buried himself alive. He lay under the
shelter of tent made from an old sail.
Long suffering had made him childish
and petulant. Each day aud all day
his weakening hands were constantly
busted scraplng down upon his body,
beginning ut his feet. the sand from
the ridges on either side.
"Ie would submit to no interference
with this occupation, insisting that the
sand warmed him. When he died, Dec.
4, 1741, n month after the landing, his
body was already half buried, and It
needed but little work on the part OF
his skeleton comrades TO lnclose this
hero OF the arctic regions In coffin Of
frozen sand.
