late-sleeping tenants to the street half
dressed. and came near resulting seriously
to Policeman Edward F. Howard Of the
Madison street station.
The fire started in the apartments OF Max
Kelevits in the rear Of the fifth floor. Kele-
vtz rushed to front window yelling
"Fire!" 30 loudly that Policemen Howard
and O'Rourke, who we're half block
away, heard him and turned in TN alarm.
Then the two policemen star ted for the
house.
Some Of the tenants had heard the cry
and rushed for the stairs. which became so
Howard and O'Rourke, however. made
their way to the second floor. and then
climbed up the fire escape, beating on the
windows OF each floor.
When they reached the fifth floor the
Kelevitz's wife and baby were missing.
They broke in a window and Howard went
into rear bedroom, where he groped about
in search OF the woman and her child. The
room was full Of smoke ana the policeman
had great difficulty in finding his way. The

He was found later by O'Rourke and

About this time the f1remen arrived and
soon extinguished what fire there was:

NEGRO QUESTION AN ISSUE.

T1lman Says the lAth and 18th Amend.
ments Must He Repealed.
AUGUSTA, Ga, June l4.-In an interview
tonight Senator Benjamin r. Tillman
said;
1.-The negro has reached his status in this
country and the repeal OF the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments is inevitable.
The thing that is interesting the country
now is the Ohio Republican platform, and
we are only waiting to see how they are
going to play their cards or to show their
hand before we make move. There is q
question as to whether it is q local or a
national measure in intent. II the Ohio
platform Is made q national issue requir-
ing the guarantee Of those two amendments
that the negro shall govern where he Is in
the majority or the white representation
In that section be reduced, it is certain to
cause a revival of the ante-bellum days
Il don't mean that 1t Is going to be
repetition Of the days of the EOS. Then
it was question of slavery. Now, 1t will
be question Of the white man or the negro.
This Is white mans country, and the viii lite
man Is going to govern It, Thats what
the Red Shirts push their platform
Il don't know what the bill Congress-
man Hardwick intends introducing for the
repeal Of these amendments contains But
reiterate the repeal is inevitable from
the fact that the country is finding out the
standing of the negro.
when the hand is played, IL it is found
that the Ohio platform ia more than local
measure the matter Of repeating these
amendments will most certainly be taken
up at the coming convention ~
Speaking Of Presidential possibilities.
Tillman said he had never seen the
country 90 barren OF material for the Demo-
Gratis. He mentioned German and Parker
and said the latter had in his favor the
lack Of a paRt record.

CONFERENCE or CLERGY.
To He Held To-day to Consider Candidates
for BishOpric.

ORANGE, N. j., June IA peculiar con-
dition Of Affairs has developed among the
Protestant Episcopal clergy Of the diocese
of Newark in that the High Church party
has apparently no candidate for the vacant
Bishopric and this despite the fact that
the convention to elect a Bishop will be
held in ST Marks Church, West Orange,
on Tuesday.
A call for a general conference Of the
clergy has been sent out for tomorrow
afternoon in Christ Church, East Orange:
by the Rev. DR.. William Wellee Holley Of
Haokenaaok and the Rev William Whiting
Davis Of Christ Church. both Of whom
supported the Rev. DR.. George Mcclellan
Fiske of Providence at the special conven-
ton.
It Is generally agreed that DR.. Fiske's
name will not be presented in the convention
but DR.. Mann will doubtless be nominated
unless the conference tomorrow afternoon
shows that his support Is waning.
Clergymen Of all schools hope that the
conference tomorrow may clear up the
situation to some extent, although they
do not seem to be confident Of It.

so BECAUSE MR.. SpAETH SAYS so.
Salmon Landed After BeinG Fifteen Hours
on the Hook.


Edward Spseth, treasurer Of the Security
Savings Bank Of Newark. returned from
visit to Maine last week and modestly
refrained from telling an extraordinary
fish story until he found that Counsellor
Joseph Coult, who was with him, had been
telling the story to few friends and 1t was
being talked about.
Mr.. Spaeth and a guide we're fishing in
Salmon Lake near Moosehead Lake from
canoe. At s:10 in the afternoon Mr.. Spaeth
hooked a land-locked salmon weighing
only eight pounds. Fifteen hours and
five minutes afterward the fish was brought
to the landing net Meanwhile the fish
jumped out of the water twenty-aix times
and Mr.. Spaeth held the 715-ounce rod with
aching muscles.
Mr. Coult and John Lunger, vice-p resi-
dent of the Travellers Insurance Company
OF Hartford. grew alarmed about their
friend at ii o'clock at night and went out
with guides to find him. He would not part
with the fish, however, and they sent him
sandwiches and coffee at midnight. At
eI5 in the morning the fish gave up.
The guide said that he had travelled over
twenty miles in the night rowing after the
fish. Mr.. Spaeth had hooked and landed
a ten-pound salmon earlier in the day after
fight of less than half an hour and he cannot
understand why there was 80 much more
power and endurance in the smaller fish,
which kept up it's leaps rushes and sulking
fits all night long.
