Steel Company dividend was considered
as bull argument on the Southern

FIRE On THE MEADE
CAUSES LOSS Of LIFE

Cling to death amid the acid flames OF
the ~sullenly burning lime. Chief Off
Ger Lassak saw Wilson fall and drop
down into the hold Managing to strug-
gle back out of the pit of death, bearing
the body of the master to a place out
of reach of the flames, Lassak himself
later on was rescued from death by
Joseph Cook and another fireman, both
of whom took their lives in their hands.
The greatest fear of an explosion pre-
vailed, which deferred the fremen, who
knew that a large quantity of powder
was on board, The magazine compart-
ment, however, was flooded and cut off
from the other section Of the vessel.
The fire ragged for hours in the front
part Of the boat and the loss is very
heavy. Eighty thousand dollars in
gold, being carried as treasure to Ma.
Mia was rescued from the ship and
by soldiers.

Patterson Delivers Speech That Causes
Stir in Democratic Ranks.

Washington, D. C., reb. Senator
Patterson delivered a speech yesterday
that has caused great confusion among
the members of the democratic party,
and a caucus has been called to take
action upon it and upon the tendency
Of other democrats to break away
from party rulings and support the
policies of the president.
Senators Martin, Bailey, Latimer
and other strong organization men
have been designated to labor with
democrats whose detection is feared,
and the hope is expressed that united
party action can be secured to prevent
approval Of the Dominican treaty and
to prevent a general slump to the pres
ident in other matters.

How the Captain Died.

Captain Dakin lost his life because
Of his unflnching resolution and daunt-
less courage in lighting the fire. His
body vas found shortly after daylight.
The ship is of course out of commits,
sion, and when the fire was out, shortly
before noon, the work of removing the
debris from the interior of the vessel
was begun. The fire caused great ex-
citement on the docks. The soldiers
who were to have boarded the ship and
sail at noon today were near by, with
baggage packed, and could scarcely be
restrained from assisting in the work of
fire fighting.
