Before proceeding to business, would respectfully suggest that to the public and the outside world the meaning of this meeting be made plain; that we are to aid and assist the local authorities, and It is not held because of any lack of confidence in our Mayor and the city fathers and the members of the noblest profession, the doctors. all of whom are doing their utmost to protect Mobile and save her people in this time of peril"

 Stockholm. Aug. liking Oscar Is leeaving the capital in search of quiet and rest and Crown Prince Gustave will again be appointed Regent. The King today issued the following proclama- tion:

I cannot sufficiently emphasize how dear to me the many proofs of love and sympathy which I have received from many di- rections have been and how great consolation they have been to me for the loss of a people whom I wished with all my heart to unite with my Swedish people.
 King oscar will leave Monday next for Marstrand, Sweden. situated on a small inland sea in the Kattegut.

WATER FRONT BLAZE
RAILROAD TERMINAL AT HOBOK-
 FEN DESTROYED.
Other Damage Done by Fire Which Threatened to Eclipse an Magnts tude the Disaster of Several
 Years Ago.

New York, Aug. 7.-Inside of three quarters of an hour late tonight fire swept away the Delaware Lackawana and Western Railroad Company's ter minai in Hoboken, caught two ferry boats and practically ruined them and for half an hour threatened the de- struction of the entire water front in the vicinity, including the Hamburg American and North German Lloyd steamship dock, at which several big ships were lying. It Is impossible to estimate the property damage but IL will be heavy. So far as known no lives were lost.
 For over an hour huge tongues Of flame Ieaped from the wooden struc- lures on the Lackawanna docks, light ing the New Jersey and New York wa ter fronts For a time 1t threatened a loss larger than that of the big dock fire several years ago when the North German Lloyd piers were destroyed with great loss of life.
 Blazing ferry boats, cut from their docks. fioated in the river. wandering fire ships which for time endangered shipping in the river. The fire started on an old wooden ferry boat and. swept by a northerly breeze, communicated with the ferry house. spread to the main building of the Lackawanna and then to the Dukes House. famous Hoboken hostelry. The hotel was a frame structure and was easy prey for the flames.
 By this time the flames were spread ing in all directions, utterly beyond the control of the few fire fighters who had responded to the first alarms
 Following the hotel the structure of the Public Service Corporation-the street car operating company of Ho- boken Jersey City and nearby places went down before the flames. At o'clock this morning the fire was un- der control The big steamship piers had been saved and a rough estimate placed the damage at between $400.O00 and $5O0,000.

Wifta in Bonton.

Wftte In Boston,
 Boston, Aug. I'M. Witte, the senior Russian plenipotentiary to the peace conference at Portsmouth. who left the cruiser Mayhower at Newport yes- terday, was still at his apartments at the Hotel Touraine in this city early today. The hour of his departure for New Hampshire had not been decided upon.
 M. Witte did not leave his room un- til nearly g o'clock. During break fast the distinguished Russian and his associate, M. Wilenkin. decided to take an automobile ride about the city and order were accordingly given for a car to be placed at the disposal of the Russians.
 After breakfast M. Wilenkin stated that as the delay to the squadron bear ing the other plenipotentiaries would defer their reaching Portsmouth prob ably until Tuesday morning, M Witte had decided to seize the opportunity offered by a days postponement of the conference to see more of the historic points in Boston and Cambridge. He was particularly anxious. M. Wiienkin said, to visit Harvard University and | Bunker Hill monument. and also if possible, Magnolia, the north shore re- sort where Baron Rosen, the Russian Ambassador to the United States and colleague of M. Witte as peace pleni- potentiary. has been staying. A tenta- tive plan has been made. therefore. providing for the automobile tour of Boston and Cambridge this forenoon and for a trip to Magnolia after luncheon. returning to Boston in time to take an evening train for Ports mouth, which is but two hours ride by express from this city.
 MT. WilenINn also stated that M., Witte was rejoicing in a good nights sleep which was what he desired when he made arrangements to leave the squadron and travel to Portsmouth by train. He said that M. Witte had received no officials since arriving in Boston.
 M. Witte and his friend left the hotel for the automobile ride at 10:40. The news that the Russian diplomat was likely to appear had caused a crowd to collect and several hundred persons watched his departure as he entered the automobile. He was heart fly cheered and he responded by rais- ing his hat and lowing several times. The car first made a tour of the busi- ness section of the city and then went to Harvard. President Eliot was not at home but Jerome D. Green. his Sec retary, met them and extended a well come to the institution and conducted them on a tour of the buildings.
