flict has occurred in connection with
the trial of the American fishing
schooner North. ordered to be confis-
Gated by Justice Martin in the admi-

FAMOUS .YACHTSMAN AND
HERO BURNED TO DEATH
Captain Mcmahon Loses His Life by
a Fire, From Which Eighteen
Others Narrowly Escape

BY Associated Press.
ERIE, Pa, Aug. 26.-Captain Patrick
MacMahon of the yacht Mystic was
burned to death and eighteen persons
were almost suffocated in a fire that
started on the third floor of the Charos
Heck block early today. The monetary
loss was not heavy.
When the firemen arrived they found
eighteen occupants asleep and almost
dead from suffocation. With difficulty
they were finally got out of danger.
The fire started in MacMahon's room,
and probably was caused by his having
left lighted cigar stub on the floor
when he retired.
Captain MacMahon was prominent in
marine interests, and was recently dis
tinguished by receiving a medal from
congress for rescuing drowning man.

MEYERS AUDIENCE BRIEF
French Officials Consider Russia as
Financially Embarrassed

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 26.-Premier Rouvier
had a long talk at the foreign office to-
day with NJ Jusserand, ambassador to
the United States. It's nature has not
yet been disclosed. IT is probable that
it related to American affairs and to
the general status of the negotiations
at Portsmouth. However, the govern
ment is not giving any outward signs
OF activity in connection with the peace
conference owing to the sensitiveness
o. French relations with Russia.
Information from officials at St.
Petersburg shows that Ambassador
Meyers audience with the emperor
lasted only ten minutes, and was not
productive of notable results. The
brevity Of the meeting is looked upon
as an unfavorable sign.
Nevertheless, government circles be-
lieve that Russia's inability to raise
more money for war purposes viii
prove a decisive factor I'm compelling
the conclusion of peace. Since the
French bankers recently refused a new
loan on account of the uncertainties of
the war their attitude has become more
Uncompromising against prolongation
of the struggle.
This is due to the danger Of depres-
sion in the enormous French holdings
OF Russian securities should the war
go on indefinitely. Therefore, since the
Paris money market is practically cut
on It is the view of the highest court
oficials that peace has strong chances
OF realization through the financial in
ability Of Russia to continue the war.
