BOATS LOST IN FIRE.
Two 100000 Blazes Going at the
Same Time.

New York. April 1S.-Two serious
fires broke out here today. The four
upper foors of six story loft build
ing, just behind the Broadway Central
hotel, burst into flames at 1 O'Clock
Two hundred guests of the hotel tum-
bled from their beds and fled to the
lobby in scant attire.
Broadway was brilliantly lighted for
half mile north and south. Fire
Chief Croker led the fight against the
flames and confined them to the loft
building. where the loss was estimated
at 100000.
While the downtown firemen were
busy with this blaze, three alarms
were turned in uptown for a water
front fire in the boat house of Har-
lem river rowing club, not far from
the Polo grounds, where the grand
stands of the New York Nationals
were destroyed last week. The fire
spread to two other boat houses and
several smaller structures, causing a
loss of 100000.

Ell PASO is NEXT.
Battle Is MOmentarily Expected
at Juarez.
Effort Will Be Made to Keep the
Americans Out.

washington, April 1S.-An attack
on Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, is momen-
tarily expected, according to tele-
gram from Thomas d. Edwards, U.
S. consul there, received at the White
House today. Mr.znEldwards reports
that he has asked Col. Sharpe to keep
the Americans from crossing the Rio
Grande during the battle In his tel
egram Mr.. Edwards also says:
4 have arranged to give shelter at
the consulate to the Chinese and all
who are excluded from the United
States by immigration laws. Have
asked the assistance of Col. Sharpe
of the United States army in keeping
the multitude from crossing the bOr
der from the Texas side during the
battle and unsettled period should
such occur" ~
Ell Paso, April 1S.-One of the very
serious situations in northern Mexico
at present is the brigdange in con-
nection with the revolutionary move
ment. In many instances bands op-
Grating as revolutionists have been
committing depredations on the prop
erty of Americans, other foreigners
and natives without regard to its
character or ownership. This is
particularly true in Durango, where
Louis Mora and band of men have
been robbing the mines of Americans.
Last week American consul agent Car
others at Torreon received a deputa-
ton of American mining men from
the state and accompanied them to
the Mexican general commanding the
district to protest against the out
RACES. Mines have been visited al
most daily, some of them two or three
times in a week, the places robbed
and the officials and employees ill
treated.
A big plantation near Torreon be-
longing to st. Louis men was robbed
and the crops practically destroyed.
The manager, O'Callaghan, was shot
twice, apparently because he did not
have any money to give to the bandits.
An American mining man from
Sinalo, just over the line from Durango,
lost his prospecting outfit including his
mules last week and almost starved be-
fore he could reach a place where he
could obtain food.
When the insurrection first opened
the insurrectoS took horses, food and
guns and gave receipts for them, signed
Now, such articles are merely confiS-
Gated. No receipts are given.
Scarcely anywhere in northern Mex
leo is there any law or order. Troops
are stationed only in the larger towns.
The rest of the country is left unpro-
tected and robbers operate almost un-
der the eyes of the insurrectos.
The Soto family, rich and prosperous
was driven last week from a ranch
near Parral because they protested
when a band called for horses and cat
| tie. The ranch was then taken as the
headquarters of the raiders. All tn
robbers pose as insurrectos and while
| many of them are shot for their depre-
dationS, more often they escape.

new JERSEYS SCANDAL.
Legislative Committee Reports False
Registration and Illegal Voting.

Trenton, N. j., April 18.-The spe-
cial assembly committee appointed to
investigate the election in Atlantic
county last November reported to the
house today that it found there was
false registration, Illegal voting and
purchase of votes and that election Of
ficers of the county failed to do their
duty. 1t is estimated by the commit
tee that from the testimony taken
there were approximately 1000 illegal
registrations and one thousand illegal
votes.
1t is stated in the report that the
officeholders in Atlantic county were
required to contribute to the Republ1-
can campaign fund and the committee
further states it is satisfied that the
misconduct and corruption hereinbe-
fore set forth, whether or not 1t was in
obedience to the Instructions of the
leaders of the political party in power
in Atlantic county, at least could have
been prevented by them and to that
extent they are charged with the re-
Sponsibility therefor"
Prosecutions are probable, the re-
port intimates. The report is signed
by four Democrats and one Republican

was swept by the fire -Four boat
houses were burned, with their con-
tents, including nearly 200 racing
shells and two other boat club struc-
lures, were damaged. The loss, it is
expected, will exceed 500, 600. and the
burning of the shells may cause the
abandonment of some of the regattas
scheduled for the season.
: The fire started in the Nassau club
house and spread to the boat houses
of the Harlem Rowing club, Metro
politan Rowing club and the Wyanoke
club. The Crescent Rowing club and
the Bohemian Boat club houses were
badly damaged.
Many valuable trophies were de-
stroyed,' together with the shellssin the
boat houses. Members expressed doubt
of the clubs ability to participate in
the national regatta at Saratoga.

Railroad LaborerS.

ond attempt in two days to murder
