HOW THE SLOCUM'S
PASSENGERS DIED

NEW YORK, June 15.-More than
700 lives We're lost when the steamer
General slosum, loaded with an ex-
cursion party of about 1900 persons
from the ST Marks Lutheran church
took fire in Ell Gate this morning and
was sunk n Ear North Brother island.
Most of he''victims We're women and
children. Captain Van Schaick of the
General sIoA Im and five of the crew
have been a rested;
words to express. the great vessel
sweeping forward in the sunlight in
flames, within sight of the crowded
city. while helpless screaming hum
dreds We're roasting alive or swallow
ed up in the waves, crazed mothers
casting babies overheard. Many of the
survivors are practically insane.
In a compartment in the hold of the
Slocum, forward and just aft of the
forecastle was a room where lamps and
oil for them were kept. From that
cabin the fire swept back through the
boat with 81 ferceness that no fire.
fighting apparatus could check. In the
fifteen minutes that elapsed from the
discovery of the fire until the Gen.
Slocum was burned to the waters edge,
there was a holocaust of the helpless.
The Slocum had been chartered to
take the excursionists to Locust Grove
en- Long Island Sound. There were
between 1900 and 1000 persons aboard.
At the extreme eastern end of Ran
dalls Island the Slocum took fire, and
the woodwork being seasoned she was
soon mass of flames. The life-pre-
servers were too securely fastened TO
be available and stories are told of
frantic efforts by strong men to cut
them loose but even if they could have
been torn down. they were too high
for the children to reach.
The race to North Brother Island
was horribly dramatic. II was made
while the flames. famed into fury by
a strong head wind. were consuming
hundreds of persons. The after rail
gave way and the passengers We're
pushed into the river. Little children
holding each other jumped in and were
so found in the cold clasp of death.
The vessel became cho6ed with con-
Stunning victims and hundreds fell into
the furnace-like hold when the hur-
ricane deck caved in.
The struggle on the decks was awful

President May Come.

NEW YORK, June pa special to
the Sun from washington says: Ac-
cording to members of the Filipino
Commission, now being entertained in
Washington, President Roosevelt is
contemplating a trip to the Philippine
islands. The Filipinos say they learn
ed this from the President when they
were his guests at the White House
luncheon on Friday. They assert he
told them he expected to visit the is
lands, but did not indicate when he in
tended to go. The Filipinos, however,
got the impression that the time is
not a great while off. In fact. many
of them believe he intends to go to
Manila with Secretary of War Taft
next summer. Some others are of the
opinion that he may wait until his
term as President expires, whether
that be next March or in 1909.
Since their visit to the White House
the Filipinos have given much time to
discussion of what the President said.
and all of them appear delighted over
the prospect of having him with them
in the archipelago

FRANK TURK HOT
AFTER MCCARTHY

Mccarthy and Turk have fallen out.
The peace which has existed in water
front shipping circles for some time
past has been broken. One shipping
master must as a result face a charge
of retaining money belonging to an
other before Judge Lindsay this morn
ing. Mccarthy is the accused one and
Frank ]. Turk is the one alleged to
have been wronged. Turk declares that
three dollars were paid to Mccarthy
by a sailor with instructions that it
be handed over to Turk Turk claims
he never received the money.
Mccarthy after being arrested said
that sailor had handed him So some
days ago with instructions to give it
to that man of yours Mccarthy says
he thought his runner was referred to
and so he handed the money over to
him. Yesterday morning he claims
that Turk visited him. He asked for
three dollars. He then told Mccarthy
that the money belonged to him and
that if he did not dig it up right away
he would have him ''pinched.' McCar-
thy said he would hand him the money
when he had it. But this did not sat
isfy Turk and he swore out a warrant
for the formers arrest. Mccarthy was
released on 800 bail.

OLD DEBT INTEREST
HAS ALL BEEN PAID
Eleven Thousand Dollars Just Received From
Washington Obviates Further Borrowing
To Pay Fire Claims.

Uncle Sam has now paid his last
annexation debt to Hawaii excepting to
be good to her forever. The Treasury
of the Territory has gust received from
the Treasury of the United States
eleven thousand and odd dollars, being
the balance of interest on the tEawaiian
debt paid by Hawaii SINCE annexation
and before the United States actually
took over the four million dollars of in
debtedness named in the bond.
By an Act of the Legislature this in
terest money was dedicated to the pay
ment of awards by the Fire Claims
Commission. There is about S13, 900
still due on fire claims, after the dis

Congress and the issuance of S315, 600
