Ferry Lines Don't Paw.

New YOrk.-The directors Of the
Union Ferry company, which operates
five ferry lines between Manhattan and
Brooklyn boroughs, have passed the
quarterly dividend of qne-half of /
percent on it's 100000 of stock. From
1894 to 1897, inclusive, the company
paid dividends of percent, in 1898 314
percent, in 1899 8 percent and from
1899 to 1905 dividends at the rate of
2 percent,
Recently the company applied to
the city authorities for a reduction of
its rent charges, claiming that they
were excessive, and threatening to sus.
pend operations unless this reduction
was made.

with st, Vitus' dance. Without any
apparent reason they would shift
around with spasmodic little jerks and
twitches which were ludicrous to gaze
upon. For awhile one would keep per
fectly still, then the fit would assail it,
and beginning with scarce perceptible
oscillations. it would rouse itself into
a regular spasm, rolling over'from side
to side, and going through all sorts of
strange movements, taking occasional
rest from its eXertions.

Russians on the Loan.

St. Petersburg-At the ministry of
finance it was said that the negotia-
tions for a new Russian loan of $l25..
100000 in France are expected to be
concluded and signed in Paris in
few days.
The representatives Of the Credit
Lyonnaise and banque de Paris ct des
Pays-Bas, who have been here in con-
necuon with the negotiations, have
left st. Petersburg.
But it is said this does not mean
that the negotiations are broken off,
the same procedure having been cob
served in the case Of the 800, 900, 900
loan last spring, when after the nego-
tiations at st. Petersburg the repre-
sentatives returned to Paris, where
the contract was signed within fort
night.
Nevertheless the Associated Press
is in a position to assert that the Paris
fnanciers have been pressing for
peace, justifying their attitude on the
ground of the enormous French com
mitments in Russian funds, and those
representations have been renewed
since the news of Gen. Kuropatkin's
defeat
Their attitude might exercise great
influence on the ultimate decision Of
the government.
The peace party is now distinctly
taking the position that the easiest
and best manner of concluding the
war is to negotiate an alliance with
Japan for the mutual definition and
protection of the interests of both
countries in the far east.
The difficulty of the Japanese Eng.
lsh alliance, which stands in the way
at present, could be overcome by a
secret clause providing that the al
lance go into operation when the old
alliance expires.

STEAMER AFIRE.
Cargo Of Ocean Liner Badly Damaged

While Lying at Her Dock.
Boston, While the steamer Widen
fels, owned by the Hansa line OF Bre-
men, Germany, was discharging part
IF her cargo, valued at 81 500 600 at the
Mystic docks, Charlestown, recently,
fire broke out in her hold and before
the firemen and apparatus summoned
by two alarms had succeeded, after a
fight OF more than three hours, in put
ting out the baze, very heavy dam
age had been done.
: The cargo aboard ship was very val
liable and estimates on the loss vary
from $4,000 to 100000,
A big gang of longsI0remen was at
work on the steamer when the fire
started, and there were railroad men
at work around the pier, who guessed
that the fire might have been started
by a longshoreman having a surrepti'
tious smoke below decks.
The conductor of an electric car who
had an opportunity of watching the
fire for quite awhile said that long
shoreman who was working on the
ship told him that the fire was caused
by the iron bands on two bales of jute
which were being hoisted out of the
hold striking together and causing a
spark which fell into one of the bales;
a bit of the blazing jute fell back into
the hold, and the fire spread with al
most incredible rapidity through the
hold which was open.
After the fire had been officially de
2ared out, Capt, Reising set his pumps
at work, and he expected to have the
hold practically free from water in
short while.
The steel sides of the steamer be-
came so heated on both sides, amid
ships. that it was feared the big plates
would buckle, and after the fire had
been in progress some time, streams OF
water were turned on the sides in an
effort to keep the plates cool.
The Wildenfels is an English built
craft. having been constructed by
Wingham, Richardson & Co, at New
castle-on-Tyne in 1901. The vessel is
valued at 100000.
Her cargo consisted of 5000 tons OF
iute, burlaps, hides, tea, indigo, pllm'
bago, cocoanut oil, nuX vonica, rose
wood logs and general East India mer'
chandise which was valued at not less
than 81 100000 This cargo was loaded
at Calcutta, India, and Colombo, Cey'
lon.
