HARBOR TRAFFIC
DELAYED BY FOG
New Rork Port Effectually
BlOckaded for
Hours.

NEW YORK, March 8.-Dense fog
caused the almost entire suspension of
harbor and river traffic today and for
many hours effectually blockaded the
port against incoming steamers and
coasting craft. The American liner
Philadelphia anchored outside Sandy
Hook early in the morning and was
unable to reach her pier until late in
the afternoon when the fog had lifted
considerably.
Three collisions occurred during the
day but without loss of life. The big
car transfer steamer Express, of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
line, was in collision twice. While
cropping her way down the East river
she ran into and sank the canal boat
Lyman Willie, tied up at bulkhead.
The wife of the captain of the canal
beat, the only person aboard, escaped
to the dock. While backing out after
the collision the Express crashed into
the steamer Rhode Island, of the Ston-
ington line, on her way to New York.
cutting off her stem completely about
two feet above the water line and
splintering the woodwork below the
water. The Rhode Island Immediately
came to anchor.
The Bristol steamer Woodford, from
South American and Caribbean ports,
while coming to anchor at quarantine,
was struck by a barge in tow of tug
and had an anchor driven through one
of her bow plates.

STRIKING IRON WORKERS
READY TO ARBITRATE
Association Denies Claims of the
American Bridge Company.

NEW YORK, March 8.-At the head
quarters of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers it was denied today that the
striking workers had refused to inform
the officers of the American Bridge
company of the nature of their griev-
ances.
Our strike was not declared in SYM
pathy with the hosting engineers
said a representative of the associa-
ton. For some time the American
Bridge company has been breaking
faith with us wherever the union is
weak. 1t has been looking for trouble
for some time. On many jobs they
have had our men do all the hard and
difficult work and as soon as easy
work was reached have laid us off and
put on cheaper men. The claim that
we have made no effort to settle our
grievances with them is not true
The president of the international
association came here last week from
Chicago for the purpose of settling our
troubles with the company. He went
to the office of the company to try to
arrange a meeting with the officials of
the American Bridge company, but
they would not meet him."
1t was also said that no more meet
1ngS of the men are to be held for the
present, that the strike is on, and will
continue, further meetings of the men
being unnecessary.

FIGHT
IN MICHIGAN
William Alden Smith After
Senatorship, With Alger
Helping Him.
From Globe Washington Bureau.

Il AOA-l olOOC w lOll edu
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8.-A
senatorial faction fight of interesting
proportions is shaping itself up in
Michigan. Representative William
Alden Smith, of Grand Rapids, is out
as an avOWed candidate for Burrows
seat in the senate, while w. G.. Nc
Milan son of the late senator, has an
nounced his purpose to succeed Alger
six years hence. Back of Mcmillan is
the Republican organization, which
was perfected by his father; and it is,
by the way, one of the most compact
and powerful of state organizations.
The death of the senator weakened t
some, and it was due in part to it's
temporary decentralization that the for
mer secretary of war was enabled to
step to the front and take the discard
ed toga.
Immediate interest centers in Will
liam Alden Smiths efforts to dislodge
Burrows. The camLEign has already
begun. Next year the legislature will
be chosen which selects Burrows sue
| ceSsor, whose term expires March T.,
| 1905. The Grand Rapids congressman
is out after members of that legisla-
ture.
The old Mcmillan machine, handled
by Mcmillan Jr., will throw the weight
of its influence in favor of Burrows.
W1ll1am Alden VIII do what is general
ly done in such circumstances, appeal
Ito the plain people," The plain people
of his district have already passed
resolutions indorsing him for senator,
and he is out after other plain people
who can do him good in all parts of
the state.
Whatever influence can be exerted
by Senator Alger will be in favor of
Smith. And an active senator. with
favor at the White house, and federal
patronage to dispense, always has some
influence. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that President Roose-
welt has seen fit to recognize the right
of the new Michigan senator to pick his
friends for good federal jobs, regard
less of Endorsement by the machine.
During the past week two or three Of
the best federal plums have been
plucked by Alger for his friends.
The above facts are sufficient 20
show what are likely to be the rela-
tions between Burrows and Alger. They
are on different sides of the brewing
factional war. Their political affilia-
tions will inevitably clash; and in all
matters of appointment there is pretty
sure to be lack of harmony.
