FIRE DESTROYS
MARIE BARR II
Towhoat Burned to Waters Edge
While Department is Powerless
to Check Flames.

The Marie Barrett, one of the tow
boats of the Barrett line running
cut of Cairo, burned to the waters
edge at $50 yesterday morning.
The fire was discovered by some one
sleeping on the Barrett wharfboat
and an alarm was turned in The
fire department responded, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that
NJ was impossible to save the boat,
and their efforts were confined to
saving the wharfboat and the barges
which were tied up alongside
Capt J. D. Stout, who was asleep
on the wharfboat when the fire
started, called a tug and threw a
line from the Marie Barrett, and it
was towed to the Kentucky shore
whe-e it burned to the waters edge
leaving only the paddle wheel and
part of the machinery in view.
1t is impossible to- say whether
or not the machinery has been dam
aged beyond reclamation until it
can be raised and thoroughly exam
Ined. but the boat is otherwise to-
tai loss. 1t was valued at S122,000.

Washington. Aug. 1S.-Both at the
White House and among senate demo-
cratic leaders the hope was expressed
today that the effect Of the action OF
the senate democratic caucus in yield
ing TO the demand OF the president not
to take recess but to try to force cur
rency legislation thru Immediately aft
er the tariff bill passed would be to
hasten both tariff and currency legis-
lation rather than delay 1t.
Opinions among Senators differ on
this point. Not few senators believe
that the opposition to the tariff bill and
measures are going to pass, viii con-
sent to hasten them.
No Confession Of Weakness.
President Wilson's view IL that II he
had yielded and allowed q recess be-
fore taking up currency 1t would have
been taken by the opposition IN con-
sress and by the country as a confes-
sion Of weakness. that the tariff would
not have been hurried and that there
would have been no assurance Of cur
rency legislation before next winter.
President Wilson expects the GUY
rency bill TO pass the house by an
overwhelming majority. He has been
informed that a number OF republicans
viii line up foz The hill on Anal pas
sage. With the impetus thus given 1t.
he is understood to believe 1t will easily
go thru the senate.
In fact, . considerable number Of
republican votes for the bill In the
senate are anticipated. One Of the
prominent republican senators. a con-
sentative, said recently that he be-
heved it would be wise politics for the
republicans to line up for the currency
bill and push 1t thru.
In any event. there is no longer ser
ious question that both tariff and cur
rency legislation will be passed in the
special session.
