FATAL CHURCH PANIC
Terror of Fire at Philadelphia
 Caused Eighteen Deaths.
MORE THAN FIFTY HURT IN CRUSH
St. Paufs COlored Baptist Church Scene of Horror Last Night When
 Congregation Stampeded on
 Alarm of Fire, ......

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-Eighteen persons were killed and probably half hundred injured in a panic follow ing the cry of Fire" last night in St. Paul's colored Baptist church on the west side of Eighth street. The serv- ices were being held on the second floor of the building A defective f1ue set fire to the chimney, causing smoke to issue through the crevices in the floor near the pulpit. The room was well filled at the time, and the cry of Fire coupled with the sight of the smoke, threw the congregation into a panic.
 A wild rush was made for the stairs despite the efforts of Rev. E. W. John son, the pastor, to allay the fears of the frenzied people. All wanted to get out at once, and men, women and children alike were knocked down and tram- pied upon by those pushing from be- hind.
 The stairway to the first floor had one sharp turn in it. and the frightened people became so tightly wedged in ,the, bend of the stairs that the frail wooden banister gave away, precipl- tating many to the first floor.
 The crash and the screams and shrieks of the women and children add cd to the frenzy of those above. They did not stop in their onward rush to get out. Notwithstanding the wide open doors on the first floor leading to the street the crush was SO great that eighteen persons had the life stamped out of them before the panic was ended.
 In the meantime the greatest confu- sion reigned. Men and women ran about the streets calling for missing loved ones, A great crowd gathered. and the work of rescue was promptly started. Dead and injured were quick ly taken to hospitals and nearby houses. .--a
 The fire was only trifing. the flames being extinguished before the firemen arrived.

Washington Has Given France
 Free Hand With Castro.
NOT TO VIOLATE MONROE DOCTRINE
M. Taigny to Visit Our Capital to Consult With M. JEsxerand and Sec retary of War Root-French
 ships Await Orders.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Late ad- vices from Caracas say that the Vene- Zuelan government is actively engaged in garrisoning the ports of the republic and in furnishing supplies to the troops.
 Convinced of the sincerity of the as- surances received from France regard ing her loyalty to the Monroe doctrine and ail that it involves, the Washington government nas given the Paris gov ernment a free hand in the execution of its programme for the solution of the Venezuelan problem. At the con ferences on this phase of the question MT. Jusserand, the French ambassador. had final assurance from the executive that the efforts of France to obtain diplomatic treatment for her charge d'affaires at Caracas will not be inter- preted at Washington as in any way violative of the Monroe doctrine.
 Mir. Taigny, the retiring French charge, will come to this country on his way home and will visit the French ambassador at Washington.
 It is said that NJ. Taigny will also see Secretary of State Root, .
 The public in yenezuelar received the news of the rupture of diplomatic rela. tions between Venezuela and France with the utmost indifference, but dip

ALL WANT TO HOLD IT.
Reported Wealth of Morocco
 Affects Open Door Policy.
ONICA FREEBOOTERS MAKE TROUBLE
Wonderful Tales of Gold Mines In Atlas Mountains, Coal Deposits
 and Forests of Cork Trees Invites Envy.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The pacific tone of the news reports coming from the Mo roccan conference at Algeciras, Spain is not justified, according to private in, formation received here. Even the news dispatches contain vague hints of an approaching crisis. It is believed
 that trouble will certainly ensue, be. cause none of the interested powers in
 the conference is disposed to yield an inch.
 A telegram received from Malaga in- dicates that Morocco has concluded to
 take an active hand in stirring up a disturbance This dispatch says that a report is current at Melilla, the Span ish stronghold on the north coast of Morocco, that the Moroccan gunboat Sid Turki is about to Lombard the Marchica factory, over which the Bel gian flag is floating.
 The French cruiser Lalande, which left Algeciras three days ago to patrol the coast between Melilla and Onica following pledge of France to Spain to drive freebooters from Spanish ter ritory, has undoubtedly run across the , Sid Turki. Just how far Frapee would let Morocco go in the way of bom- bardment is a question that has great deal of bearing on the present situation.
 An adventurous band of French and Belgians that precipitated the present trouble by setting up headquarters at Onica, close to Melilla, and erecting a factory almost in sight of the Spanish possessions, is still holding the fort, al- though the French government has warned them to leave on the ground that they are srcebooters. not entitled to protection. Their continued presence serves to aggravate Spain. which has always questioned the good faith of France in Morocco.
 A great deal has been sent out from Algeciras about the anxiety of all the powers to establish the "open door" in Morocco. The trouble seems to be that each of the interested powers wants to hold the door. Thus far the influence of Mir. Henry White. the American del egate, upon which so much was count ed for conciliation, has not been felt to any extent.
 The American delegates are hearing wondrous tales of the undeyeloped wealth of Morocco and the opportuni- ties if affords for American enterprises Wonderful stories are told of coal de- posits within an hours ride of Tangier. of untouched forests of cork trees near at hand and of gold fields in the Atlas mountains. The Moors continue to work on a small scale the copper veins opened by the Romans. but mining en- gineers. who have scarcely dared to turn a stone for fear of the natives. aver that not only copper but tin and iron mines exist which are equal to the best mines of Spain.

TO BURN A YACHT.
Captain Cardin Testified Dr. Parker y Asked Him to Destroy the Boat.

Captain Cardfn Testified pr. Parker
 Asked Him to Destroy the Boat.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-When the suit of the London, Liverpool and Globe h. surance company to recover about $7,000 from Mrs. Susan D. Parker, the owner of the yacht Scythian, comes up again before Judge Wheeler and the jury in the United States circuit court 1t is expected that prompt de- nials will be made to the astounding story told on the witness stand by Cap tain James Cardiff, formerly skipper of the Scythian, that he deliberately set the yacht on fire and that S10,000 was promised to him by Dr. Charles Thorn dyke Parker, husband of the owner, to commit arson at sea-,
 The testimony of Captain Cardiff amazed shipping men and yachtsmen alike when they read it. According to it the skipper set the yacht on fire off the coast of Massachusetts one night in the summer of 1900 The vessel was de- serted by the captain and crew about 2 o'clock in the morning. The derelict was sighted by tug and lowed into Boston, practically burned to the wa ter's edge.
 The insurance company makes the point that the removal of all the silver ware, cut glass, rugs. paintings and other valuables from the yacht before the burning makes Mrs. Parker liable to the company for at least one-thlrd of the amount paid to her for the loss of the craft.
 Mrs. Susan De Forest Day Parker is daughter of Henry Day, formerly one of the foremost lawyers in this city, who died eleven years ago. He was an assooiaas Ufsfienry E, Hyden tfre Or, ganization of the Equitable Life As surance society.

lomatic circles at Caracas are indig- nant at the action of the Venezuelan government in not allowing M. Taigny, the retiring French charge d'affaires, to return to the shore after he had gone aboard the French line steamer Mar unique at La Guayra in order to ob- tain his correspondence.
 If France makes a decisive move in retaliation for Venezuela's treatment of her representative Caracas will soon be the center of world interest. Vene- zuela under the Castro regime has been an international problem, but the Monroe doctrine, although necessarily involved in it, is so thoroughly under stood by all the European countries that the state department anticipates no untoward action on the part of France.
 The French warships are daily in touch with the ministry of marine at Paris and are awaiting an opportune moment to take such action as their instructions may provide for.

~o&@ssssss~ s~ Asssa ssN's A@s s' AAS"s'
 CATSKILL, x. Y., Jan. 22.-Rev. II. I. Hoag. pastor of the Methodist church at Leeds. was assaulted and forced to seek safety in flight by Philip Robins of South Cairo, who is said to be suf- fering from religious mania.
 He had daily attended the revival meetings recently conducted by Rev. MT. Hoag, who on opening the door of his house in response to loud knocking was set upon by Robins. who shouted, God has commanded me to kill you" Striking Mr. Hoag heavily with his clenched hand, Robins was preparing to follow up the attack when the min ister managed to push him aside and make his escape from the parsonage.
 Robins, who is proprietor of the Ma rion House. was lodged in jail here later by Undersheriff Post and on ex- animation by physicians was declared insane. He was committed to the state asylum at Poughkeepsie.
