GUESTS SCURRY TO SAFETY
Vacationists Fight Blaze After
Losing Belongings-Whole
Town Threatened and
Towns Send Aid.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, July 9.-Thousand
Island Park was swept this afternoon
and tonight by fire, which wiped out
practically the entire business section,
the Columbian Hotel the New Yors
State Educational Building and eighty
seven cottages. The loss. it Ia estimated
will be 100000. No lives were lost nor
were there any serious casualties so far
as could be learned tonight.
The fire started at ] o'clock this after
noon and burned more than eight hours
At $50 o'clock tonight 1t had been
practically extinguished. The blaze
famed by strong wind. spread with
amazing rapidity. The hotels and cot
tages Of the fashionable resort were
filed with summer guests, many Of
whom had TO vacate so huriedly that
they lost all their belongings. Hotel
guests and cottagers did their best 10
fight the flames, but being without a de-
partment organization or suitable ap-
paratus their efforts were Of little use.
Shortly after the fire had broken out
In Halers's department store from an
undetermined cause, and spread so
quickly that II was feared the whole
town would go. help was sent for by
telephone to both Alexandra Bay and
Clayton.
Sweeping through the business section
and leaving nothing but ruins, the flames
spread to the Columbian Hotel, which
was destroyed, and then began consunn-
ing cottage after cottage until more than
fourscore OF them were in ashes, and
there seemed no prospect Of checking
the blaze.
The entire park appeared 70 be doomed.
At one time it was feared that the loss
would reach 100000. but tonight IL is
not believed that it will aggregate more
than half that figure
All wires to the Thousand Island Park
went down because OF the blaze Com
munication with the resort is slow and
difficult.
The resort was one Of the most pop
ular on the st. Lawrence River and was
having a successful season.

case The trouble. centred around Job Har-
rinar called as a witness for the defence.
Mr.. Rogers. chief counsel for the defence,
was fined $40 and Assistant District At
torney Ford was fined SIS for contempt
The question was whether the section Of
the statute regarding immunity, as applied
10 Hartman, should be read into the
record, as requested by the prosecution.
Judge Hutton finally denied the applica-
ton OF the prosecution, and order was re-
stored.
Hartman. who was assistant counsel in
the Mcnamara case, contradicted Frank
Inns testimony. which seemingly involved
Hartman in the attempt to bride Jurors In
the Mcnamara case. He denied that he
had given Dsrrow the 5000 which Franklin

Speech.
From The Tribune Bureau

WASHINGTON. July Ex-senator Lorimer and
the Senators arrayed against him fought
for the last word in the long controversy OF
which he is the centre to-day, and, after
vainly trying to come TO an agreement dur
Ing a short recess Of the Senate, declared a
truce by agreeing to a further recess until
10 o'clock tomorrow.
When Senator Dillingham;. who took the
floor after Senator Fletcher. concluded his
speech, both Senator Lea and Senator Ken
yon. who are opposed TO the Illinois Sem
ator, were not on the floor and when found
refused 10 go on. This left Senator Lori
mer in the r sition Of beginning his own
speech or allowing a vote to be taken on
the resolution TO unseat him.
Lorimer pleaded for time to gather his
notes and Senator Smoot came 10 his res
cue by moving that recess be taken Tor
half an hour. At the end Of that time Sen"
ators Lee and Kenyon, backed by Senator
Borah and others, still insisted on having
the final word in the case, but consented 10
a further recess. II Is probable they VIII
prevent Senator Lorimer from ending the
debate
Threats were made to-day by Senator
Smoot and others to demand night sessions,
and the Senate, impatient and anxious to
escape the swelterng weather Of the capt.
tai, may decide to expedite its labors by
this means.
Senator L,oriner adheres TO his purpose TO
continue the fight 10 the end, although the
ranks Of those upon whom he counts for
support are growing thinner It was re"
ported to-day that his colleague, Senator
Cullom, who stood by him in his first night,
would vote against him, and that Senator
Tillman had also deserted his cause.
Senator Fletcher declared in his speech
to-day that the opposition 10 the Illinois
Senator was due to certain newspapers.
TT is a newspaper war" he said Let
the people rule; we are the people, say the
papers" He added:
We are given to understand that there

there not other Republican senators SIM
cratic Senator'S who have been elected by
the aid Of Republicans? Are we 10 EJECT
all such Senator'S?
Mr.. Fletcher contended that there vas no
evidence whatever that predatory wealth
had been a factor either in Lorimers cleo
ton or in his retention Of his seat,
He Is making his own hght unaided and
I'm fair and honorable way, and there is
no evidence 10 the contrary" said Mr..
Fletcher.
Senator Dillingham; contended there was
absolutely no evidence that state Repre-
sentative Beckemeyer had received money
for voting for Lorimer.

confessed to bribery In the case except
