FIRE BREAKS OUT IN STEAMER ARABIC Striking Seamen Believed to
 Be Responsible OFFERS FRulTLESS Strikers at Liverpool and Hull Refuse All Concessions-Many Col
 lieries May Be Forced to
 Shut Down
 

London. June 30.-Another day of the shipping strike has left conditions materially worse. In almost every port in the United Kingdom many vessels are tied up and work is at stand still.
 Several individual owners have con- ceded their employees demands and are operating but the number O. men who have refused to return to work has largely increas.u.
 The Liverpool owners met tonight and confirmed the concessions of the Cunard. Canadian Pacific and Allan lines offered which the men accepted but afterward rejected and decided that no further concessions should b2 made.
 The strike committee recommended at meetings of. the. strikers that they accept the offers of the companies and that work be resumed for month, during which a permanent settlement of the dispute should be attempted
 The men gave thc leaders a stormy reception and almost unanimously re- ljected their proposal.
 Owing to the uncertainty whether steamships will sail tomorrow passen- gers instead of going on board vessels were sent to hotels.
 There was a bold attempt at Liver pool today to fire the steamer Arabic. Five fires were discovered on board the vessel, each in tho edding in cab ins. The fire department put out the flames and police prevented anyone leaving the ship. There were exciting scenes at the north docks in Liverpool tonight. The strikers made riotous demonstrations and police reinforce ments had to be called to put down the disorders
 A meeting of steamship owners was held at New Castle today after which it was said steps were being taken by the shipping federation which might lead to a quarter of the unchartered tonnage of the world being laid up. The owners agreed materially to in crease wages and owners whose men refuse to accept will be indemnif1ed for their losses.
 It is feared that many colleries will be shut down because of the slacken- ing demand for coal.
 The shipping federation threatens to take steps that will result in laying up half of the shipping tonnage of the country.
 The White Star line today declared lockout against all the men employed upon their Liverpool steamers with the exception of the officers and engineers and Is trying to obtain non union crews
 The crew of the Red Star liner Zee land, which is still lying in the river, having been unable to dock yesterday joined the strikers today
 Hull, England, June 30.-The riotous demonstration by the employees of the steamship companies had ceased to- night except for few affairs. The con ferences between the employees and the strikers were without result and ne- gotiations have now broken off. Twelve thousand strikers held an open air meeting tonight and decided that the seamen and fremen would stand by the lockers and insist on the ratifica ton of the union.

arriving, and railroad officials grew anxious. At II o'clock a weak voice called by telephone and said
 Reported by Telephone
 We've been robbed we've been robbed; maybe lots are shot"
 It was the report of Conductor Room ey to the officials and their first inti- nation of the robbery.
 Albert Carey, engineer, by making quick stop of the train. probably pre- vented a serious disaster Railroad men say that had the heavy train struck the obstruction with much force 1t would have thrown the entire train from the track and down the em-
 When the train stopped Carey and his fireman climbed down to investi- gate. They were immediately seized by masked men who, with revolvers. made them get back into the cab. Two of the robbers then climbed aboard and kept guard over them.
 By this time passengers were be- ginning to leave the train and a. part of the band began firing their revolvers close to the heads of the frightened three of the robbers paid strict atten- ton to the mail and express cars.
 Crew Makes Residence
 Block. the mail clerk. thrust his head from the door of his car and began firing He was met with a volley from the robbers and was shot through the side In moment several of the masked men were in the car ripping open his mail bags.
 c. F. Bemis, brakeman, rushed from one of the coaches into the mail car. He had no more than reached the door when he fell with a bullet through the arm. The robbers then kicked Bemis out of the car. Conductor Rooney fired four shots at the men, all the cartridges he had in his revolver, with out any apparent effect. One of the bandits hurled a. stone at Rooney It struck him and he dropped. Later he recovered and made his way to tele- phone, one mile from the robbery, where he reported the hold-up to the Erie officials.
 With all the members of the crew either injured or under guard, the rob- bers rifled the cars.
 Considerable Amount Stolen
 Efforts to obtain some estimate of the value of the loot secured by the bandits who held up the Philadelphia and Erie passenger train near this city were unsuccessful. The amount how ever, Is believed to be considera ble The mail and express cars were stripped of their contents but there was no way to ascertain tonight the value of the plunder.
 The passenger who was thrown over the embankment after grapplng with one of the robbers was Carl Anderson of Renoneva. Pa, a travelling sales man, who was going to Chicago.

Corporation Tax Furnishes S2S, ,000, 900 of Internal Revenue Increase. Billion and Half Reserve Held
 by National Banks

Washington, June 3o.--When the gov ernment fiscal year of 1911 closed today the federal treasury held a cash sur plus of at least sSs,ooo,Ooo and showed an excess of all receipts over all disburse- ments for the first time since 1907
 While the revised returns. showing the governments exast financial condition, will not be available for several days. from such figures as are at hand ard such estimates as treasury officials con- sider reliable. it is apparent that the government during the past 12 months received from all sources not less than s66s, 900, 900, ahout $10,0oOC GOO more than was expended and spent S656000, GOO, about S6,000,000 less than was planned.
 For the first time income from internal revenue and customs were nearly equal. While customs receipts for the year fell S20, GOO, 900 and will stand at about $312,- 000,000, the internal revenue promises to total s315,000,o00, the greatest sum ever collected from that source, which will surpass the record-breaking figures of 1866
 Four Causes of Increase ..- Four causes have contributed to great increase in the internal revenue. The
 
 0o0: whisky and other spirits Sl55, e00 GOO; tobacco $62 GOO, 900. and beer s61 ,000. .000.
 It was estimated when collectors of in- ternal revenue throughout the country closed their offices today, the government would have at least s2O, ,00O,0 600 of the cor poraticn tax money in hand. The other $S, GOO 900 is not expected until July 10, the last day without a penalty.
 The federal treasury enters the fiscal year 1912 with more than s1, ,O0O,OO0 in cash stacked away in the steel ribbed vaults, the largest sum eyer held there.
 National Bank Increase

An Endless Chain4

London, June S0.-The shipping strike has assumed the nature of an endless chain. No sooner is a settlement reached in one quarter than a disagreement ap- pears in another Apparently there would be little difficulty in arriving at com promise with the original strikers, the seamen and f1remen, but the dock hands who walked out fin support of the claims of their seagoing comrades now insist that the latter should not accept the pro- posed terms until the shore gangs re- ceive all they want.
 Five hundred London police were dis patched hurriedly to Hull today in an anticipation of rioting tonight.

MAYOR GREGORY
PREPARING SLATE
Democratic Organization Not
Making Any Requests for
Appointments.

Mayor Gregory is busy preparing
his slate of appointments TO the va
rious boards and commissions in East
Orange and hopes to have a com-
pleted list for presentation to the City
Council on New Years Day, when the
1912 body win organize for the year.
The executive is not announcing any
of his appointments in advance.
Secretary James Il. Deignan, of the
police board, is slated for reappoint-
ment, and all doubts about his ac-
cepting another term have been re
moved. Mr.. Deignan has been a hard
worker in the board and the police
were enthused to hear he would again
accept and that his selection for a sec
ond term Is assured.
Charles Bradley, who was the Dem
ocratic candidate for councilman in
the First ward, was a visitor at the
office of Mayor Gregory, n the ru-
NOR went forth that he is being con
sidered for appointment to the Board
of Health. The term OF President
Horace Butterworth, of the same ward,
expires this year. The term of Com
missioner Wilbur Mott will also end
Oil JdiudI l.
The Master Plumbers Association of
the Oranges have requested Mayor
Gregory to name a master plumber to
the board this year., and have given
the executive reasons why they think
one of the number should be a mem
Der. Mayor Gregory said he would
talk the request under consideration
and announce his decision on New
Years Day.
The Democratic organizations in the
city have not made any requests to
the mayor thai Democrats be APP
pointed on several of the commissions,
but as individuals several of the Dem
ocrats have submitted names which are
being considered as possible appoin-
tees. Minority representation on the
commissions has been urged by Mayor
Gregory, and when he presents his
list of appointments to the council it
is thought his views will be better
shown in his regard.
There will be two factions in the city
who are expected to show their lean
ings more prominently than before.
These are led by Councilmen Grover
and Pierson. and gossip is general as
to how Mr.. Saxelby viii treat his OPP
%ponents, led by Mr.. Pierson, when he
shapes up his committees
