Fire on Sierra.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 13-The
big steamer Sierra of the Oceanic
Steamship Company, which, together
with the steamers Sonoma ana Ventura
of the same fleet, has been lying up in
Mission bay since being taken off the
Australian run, was threatened with
destruction by fire yesterday afternoon,
and but for the prompt action of Chief
Officer John Koughan, Captain E. J.
Burns of the tug Gillette and Captain
George Harvey of the Pacific Mail tug
Arabs, might have Jared badly.
The awning on the port side of the
boat deck aft was burned away, No. 9
lifeboat was badly charred and per,
ton of the deckhouse scorched before
the blaze was extinguished. The fire
started from a spark from the galley
stack, which fell on the dry canvas
covering of the lifeboat.
The fire smouldered in the tarpaulin
for a few moments and then burst into
a blaze which ate its way into the dry
sides of the boat and the deck cover
ing. The few men in charge of the
steamer had just finished luncheon and
were yet below when the flames were
seen by Chief Officer Koughan. He
discovered the fire at 1:45 o'clock and
Immediately called all hands to man
the fire buckets and chemical extin-
guishers. The steamer being well
equipped for fire protection, there be-
ing a number of barrels of water at
hand. the men had no difficulty in
keeping the flames confined.
Captain Burns of the State tug Gill
lette, was passing the Risdon Iron
Works, and seeing the flames leaping
from the upper works, speeded the tug
toward the steamer Sonoma, which lay
near the Sierra. He took the crew Of
the Sonoma, numbering ten men, to
the Sierra and they assisted in extin'
gushing the blaze.
The flames were also seen by Cap
tain Harvey of the tug Arabs, which
came alongside and sent its batteries
into the fire, extinguishing what had
moi been beaten out by the men with
hand buckets.
Within twenty minutes the blaze was
totally extinguished and the services
of the launch Restless, in charge OF
CAPTAIN Oscar Thomson. which hurried
to the scene, were not needed.

TO SELL SEVEN FARMS.
The Attorney General to Dispose of
His Agricultural Land.

Nearly all the fine farm property of
Attorney General Bonaparte is to be dis
posed of shortly at public auction Four
farms are to be sold from the courthouse
steps at Upper Marlboro, Prince George
county. March II, and the three others a
week later. Four are in Prince George
county and three in Anne Arundel county
One of the largest contains 6O1 acres, near
Wheaton. Md, not far from the District
of Columbia
The Attorney General is making the
sale, it is stated, for several reasons.
One is that some time ago he sustained
pretty heavy financial losses. Another is
that since he came to Washington he has
not been able to give attention to his
farm properties and has been compelled
to leave them In charge of fOremen. AS
a rule they have been Improbable. and
the returns were so insignificant as to
warrant getting rid of them. Mr.. Bona
parte has made effort to dispose of these
properties at private sale, but without
success, and they will now he put on the
block for whatever they will bring.
Neither Mr. Bonaparte nor his friends
will discuss the details of the financial
reverses sustained by him in the panic
months of last fall and early winter. The
misfortunes came from investments in
commercial enterprises that suffered
heavily

committee
Justice NJ Linn Bruce of New York was
decided upon as temporary chairman of

The resolutions indorsing the candidacy
of Governor Hughes as adopted were as
follows:
The Resolutions.
New York holds the proud position of
having given to the nation one of her
illustriouS sons who now occupies the
presidential chair. Few. if any, Presi-
dents have ever been held in so high
regard by the nation and the world He
mas done great service to his country
by rugged determination to oppose
wrongdoing and in demanding justice
for all. We tender him. as his term of
office draws toward its close. our hearty

go down to post Gritty as one of the great
est and most heroic figures in American
hostory. justly linked with. those of Wash

properly expect that our delegates to the

sent and urge the selection again of one
of our many worthy SONS for the great
est office in the gift of our people. The
state committee believes that. the wisdom
of our choice will undoubtedly commend
itself to all classes of our citizens and TO

advocate the selection of the governor
of our state, Charles E. Hughes, for the

RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT DEAD.
Minister to China Dies Suddenly Of
Heart Disease.

PEkING, March M. D. Pokotioff,
the Russian minister to China. died here
suddenly today of heart failure. He was
appointed to this post in 1900
In addition to representing the Russian
government at Peking Vi. Pokotiloff was
the diplomatic agent Of the Russo-Cnnese
Bank and an able ortentalist. Since the
close of the Russo-Japanese war he had
been active in reorganizing tie policy of
Russia in China, and it was his influence
that prevented the Russo Chinese Bank
from withdrawing from Mongolia and
Manchuria.
Among other things he brought about
a modification of the plans of financial re-
trenchment in the far east, proposed by
the Russian minister of finance, NJ Ko-
kovSoff.
ST. PETERSBURG, March THE
death of NJ Pokotiloff. the Russian minis
ter to Peking, following the demise three
years ago of Paul Lessar at the same
post, has left a gap in the Russian diplo-
matte service in the orient. which. 1T is
believed here. will be difficult to fill. NJ
Pokotiloff was eminently qualified for his
position. He had had thirty years ex-
perience as a diplomat all financier in
China, and he handled the difficult prob
lem following the close of the Russo
Japanese war in a manner not only to
win the confidence of the foreign Office
but also to exempt him from the news
paper attacks that have been directed at
almost all of Russia's representatives
abroad.
The death of the minister came as
complete surprise. Gen. Wogak, for many
wears military fittache at Picking, is men,
toned as possible successor.
