A Btl»l mwilw* •'" Isipp the chilly waters of Newton Creek, on Long Island, a hundred fac­ tory imen and boys withotit warning' we re .plunged late Friday afterjooon by the Jweakintr of a flimsy wooden bridge. In the struggle for their lives that fol­ lowed no one can tell how many of them wore swept away to death by the tide. The first accounts were that many of them were missing, but most of these had been accounted for at mid­ night, and many a family that had first feared lest it be fatherless or brother- less rejoiced in the safety of those that had been near to death. The draw had been opened for a couple of tugs and one of them had become fastened in the opening. The people, anxious to be fint in crossing when the draw closed, crowded upon the stationary span and overtaxed its strength. The accident caused great excitement in the neighborhood, and many who were waiting on the shore to get across lost their eelf-control to such an extent as not to be able to assist those struggling in the water 'or their live.1. The unfortunate peo- f pie in most instances were left to scramble out as best they could. ?•' : STx Men Perished!. . FBSDAY morning's strong gale at Baltimore cost six lives, and gave the crew of the police boat a chance to make one of the bravest rescues in the annals of Baltimore harbor. While the white caps were running so high that a steamer could hardly ride them a signal of distress was heard, and the search light revealed thres men struggling in the forbidding waters. They were all who were left Of a party of sailors who, accompanied by a ferryman, left the foot of Broadway to cross over to Locust Point. Their beat was swamped before they had gone 500 yards, and five of the sail­ ors, and it is supposed the ferryman also, sank before the police boat could reach them. The three rescued men were taken to the city hospital. The drowned men, except the ferryman, were from England. They were of the crew of the Meraca and had been on shore leave. The rescued say the boat was a small one and that the nine men loaded her down until the gunwales were almost even with the water.

Singularly enough, it • was presented by the first foreign nation that decided to make a show at the fair--France. M. Verstracte, Vice Consul in Chicago, called at Director General Davis' building and left a letter notifying the officials that the French exhibitors would send, in a claim for damages as soon as they could unpack their goods and take an inventory of the loss. Direct )r General Davis was not in when the polite Frenchman called, says a Chicago dispatch, so M. Ver- stracte left without learning what would be done with his claim. The t letter filed by the French vioe consul ' has brought the whole question of damages to a focus at once. The exposition authorities, both national and local, and the south park - commis­ sioners declared themselves without heritation on the subject. Their state­ ments were such as warrant the asser­ tion that the big fire will become an international dispute and that the losses will be adjusted by the State De­ partment at Washington and the diplo­ matic representation of foreign powers stationed there.

A Vexed problem that touched the sentiment of the world to the quick* has-been solved. To*tay the Park Commissioners have to deal with ruins where pvoua build­ ings . stood. Twenty thousand specta­ tors, aocording to a Chicago dispatch, saw the east end of the Court of Honor vanish in smoke and tlame. The fire started in the Casino, destroyed that building, then swept northward along the"* Peristyle into Music Hall, ana frerarthere across and into • the Manu­ factures Building. For three hours the flames raged along the east end of the Court of Honor until nothing was left but charred timbers and blackened plaster, A shower of sparks fell upon the ice in the lagoon until it looked like a sea of fire: they fell upon the adjacent buildings, threatening them with destruction. It was a magnificent spectacle that drew ceaseless Exclama­ tions of wonder and awe from the spec­ tators that crowded the grounds in the vicinity of the fire. It was the great­ est pyrotechnic display of the Fair. Manufactures Roof Catche*. But the work of destruction did not end with the burning of these build­ ings. Firebrands were carried to the roof of Manufactures Building, and the promenade around the crown of that enormous structure was soon on fire. The wind was strong and the flames soon reached the immense wooden ventila­ tors urider the eaves, and they were soon burning fiercely. The clere-story un­ der the roof was qu'ekiy in a blaze. Erom this and through the great holes made in .the glfcss roof fell a continuous shower of firebrands, and in twenty minutes there were over a given dozen small conflagrations in the Bel- ' gian, French, German and English sections. F iretnen and Columbian Guards fought tl ese. fire? so success­ fully that, although the facades and exhibit structures * were destroyed, probably not more than a dozen cases containing exhibits were burned. The goods jeopardised represented $2,590,- 00; the loss is not over $100,0C0, water. How much carried will not be learned for some time, as many of the policies were written in foreign coun­ tries. There is little if any insurance on the Manufactures Building, and none on the Casino, Peristyle and Mu­ sic Hall. The fire worked clear around the in­ side of the dome, burning1 itself out at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. f As in the Cold Storage fire, life was lfest in fighting it.

Most intense excitement pre-' vailed throughout Honolulu until the arrival of the revenue cutter Corwin. After that Minister Willis made bis demand upon President 'Dole to sur­ render the Government to the Queen.

The excitement then rapidly subsided, and for a week bafore tbe sailing of the Warrirooo there had been perfect tranquillity. I The demand of Minister Willis upon ' the Provisional Government to step down and out was couched in the fol­ lowing words: j Mr. President end gentlemen* the President of the United Stateg haa very mnoa regretted the delay in the conaideration of the Hawallen qnertloD, bat It is unavoidable. 8o mnnh of it M has ooenrredstaoe my arrival haa b<f A dne Bbu»nlb»l Flyer on the BuUpifon Bead Atopped by Five Men N«r St. Joifpb, •f' Ho., WlM» :t*o* Mte SavniM aad XaiU Cars. ; i to certain eonditione precedent. with which waa required before I ized to confer with yon.

There is no guard at all stationed in the Casino nor in fact anywhere nearer that point than Music Hall, where one man keeps watch. There is also a guard in the Con^nt of La Rabida. About 4 o'clock in the after­ noon a dozen tramps walked into Music Hall, where Guard C. Mason was on duty. He ordered them to leave, but they made an insolent reply and refuted to go. Mason succeeded in driving them out. They went in the direction of the Casino, and in an hour after the fire was discovered. No one had any right to be around the Casino and there has been no fire there for months, but there Were a number of old packing cases and a quantity of ex­ celsior in the building, and if the fire was not started by design it could easily have been started by means of a cigar stub or the ashes of a pip© carelessly emptied in the inflammable stuff thiat thickly covered the floor in places. The estimates on the value of the goods which were jeopardized by the fire in Manufactures Building vary widely, though it is probable that $2,- 00'J,00J is a conservative' approxima­ tion of what remained on the floor when the-fire broke out. The foreign- ers have had a hard time getting their exhibits shipped from Chicago. A statement prepared by Collector Clark, at the last meeting of his chief inspectors, showed that only one- third of the foreign goods had been started home. Two months have passed since the work began. At the' , present rate it looked as if the last of the foreign goods would not be out of Jaoktfon Park Iwfore May 1. The delay in shipment is said to b« 4ue to the railroads. The Bolldhica Peetroyed. , Manufactures and Liberal' Arts Building was the mammoth structure of the Exposition and notable for its symmetrical proportions. It whs the largest "building in area ever erected on the western hemisphere, and the largest under a roof in the world. Despite its immense proportions every available foot 4f space in the great structure was taken. It was three times larger than the cathedral of St. Peter in Rome and four times larger than the old Roman Coliseum, which seated 8t>,000 persons. The cost of this im­ mense structure was $1,700,000.

The President deemed it his anty to withdraw from the Senate the treaty of an­ nexation, which had been signed by the Secre­ tary of State and agents of yonr government. and to dispatch a trusty representative to Ha- wali to impartially investigate the oansesof yonr revolution and to ascertain and report tb>* true situation lp these lalan's. This in­ formation waa needed the: better to enable the President to discharge a delioate and impor­ tant duty. Upon the facts embodied in Mr. Blount's report the Presl ent has arrived at certain conclusions and determined npon a certain course of action, which it becomes my duty to acquaint yon with. The provisional government was not established by the Hawaiian people nor with their consent or acquiescence, nor lias it since existed with their consent. render her visional government that the minister of . until , convinced , . , L . , the United States had recognised it as tbe de facto authority, and would attpport and defend it With the military forces of the United States, and that resistance would»provoke a bloody oonflict with tfakt force. She was advised ud amted bylter ministers add leaders of Ohe roovemtnt for tbe overthrow of her government that if she surrendered nndep protest her caee would afterward be fairly considered by the Presi­ dent of the United States: Th« Queen finally yi«14ed to the armed forces of the United States then quartered at Honolulu, reiving on tin good faith and honor of the President, when informed of what occurred, to undo the action of the Minister and reinstate her. The President has, therefore, determined that he will not send bach: to'the Senate for1 its ac­ tion thereon the treaty which he Withdrew from that body for farther consideration March 9 last. In view of these conclusions I yrm» in­ structed by tbe President of the United States to take advantage of in early opportunity to inform the Queen of this deter.jun*ti«n «ad of his views as to the responsibility of our Gov­ ernment. The President, however, felt that we, by our original interference, had Incurred a responsibility to ohe whqle Hawaiian com­ munity. and that ft would not be jnet t® put one party at tbe mercy of the other. 1 was, therefore, instructed at the same time to inform her that the President expected that she would pursue a magnanimous course by granting full amnesty to alt who participated in the movement against her. Including per­ sons who are or who h»w been officially or otherwise connected with the provisional gov­ ernment. depriving them of no right or privi­ lege which they enjoyed before tbe revolution last January, and that all obligations created by the provisional government in the course of administration should be assumed. * In obedience to the command of the Presi­ dent I have secured the Queen's agreement to th e course, and 1 now deliver a writing, signed by her and duly attested, a copy of which I will Inn witn you. It becomes my further duty to advise you, Mr, the executive of the provisional govern­ ment, and your ministers, of the Presi­ dent's determination of the question, which yonr action and that of the queen devolved upon him. and that yon are expeete* to promptly relinquish to her her constitu­ tional authority. And now, Mr. Presl- deat and gentlemen of tbe provisional gov­ ernment, grlth a deep and solemn sense of tbe gravity ot the situation and with the earnest hope that your answer will be in­ spired by that high patriotism which forgets ail self-interest, in the name and by the au­ thority of the United States of America, I submit to you the question: Are you willing to abide by the decision of the President? I will leave this with you. Mr. President, as your stenographer may not have got every word, and it may help him. I will also leave the cer­ tified copy that 1 referred to, the agreement of the Queen. Upon the conclusion,, of Mr. Willis' remarks, President Dole on behalf of the provisional government made a brief statement refusing to surrender any portion of the power represented by him and his associates and declin­ ing the offer of the Queen, and the conference was at an end.

In what may be called the world's moral departments some of the statis­ tics for 1893. have a hopeful look, so far as this country is concerned. The num­ ber of murders and homicides of vari­ ous kinds, amounting to ft,615, shows a slight falling off as compared with 1892, when there were H,791, whereas for ten years previously they showed a steady increase. The record of suicides on the other hand is not so encourag­ ing, as it numbers -1,436 as against 3,8n0 in 1892. For the last fifteen years sui­ cides in the United States "have in­ creased steadily and out of proportion to the increase of population. The enormous disproportion between males and females is shown by the fact that while 858 of the latter took their own lives there were 3,578 of the former. As the outcome of murders and other crimes 126 persons have been executed legally, as against 107 in 1892, and 200 have been lynched, as against 236 in 1892. The increase in legal and the decrease in illegal hangings would in­ dicate healthier conditions in the oper­ ations of justice, for it is the first time in fifteen years that the record of lynching has shown a decrease. The statistics, as usual, paint to the South b» the favorita locality of Judge Lynch and mob law. While 17 have been lynched in the Northern 183 have been lynched in the Southern States, and of these 183 no less than 151 were •colored men. " s . ;- »V , II , I il Churches (MI Shelters. • ^ Th\ John A. B. Wilson, a Netri^ork minister, delivered a stirring sermon Sunday on the destitution of the poor in that city. Between 40,000 and 50, 000 men, he declared, walked the streets shelterless every night. "Let us see to it," he finally said, "that, if no other home can be provided for the shelterless, the churches shall be open­ ed to them, no matter what the incon­ venience to ourselves. It was done cen­ turies ago, why not dj it now? Open the churches to the people day and night, for sitting-rooms, for readiner- rooms, for lodging-rooms, for warmth and shelter Who ever deemed it sacrilege during the war, when church buildings were^ionvertedinto hospitals for the wounded? There is now no coat and overcoat and black Derby hat. The other wore a double-breasted coat, no overcoat, and Was tall and slender. The other three robbers stood in the dark and could'not. be described. All wore masks. An attempt was made to rob a Bur­ lington train near St. Joe on Sept. 25, 1893, and two of the robbers were killed. The railroad officials believe that the robbery Wednesday night was Committed by some of the same gang who made their escape in the darkness from the first attempted robbery. REPUBLICANS^ HOLD THE FORT. Get Possession of the New Jersey Senate i Chamber--Guarded Day and Night. The Republicans secured possession of the New Jersey Senate Chamber Wednesday afternoon, and say that they will retain the advantage they have gained. The Republicans, says a dii-patch, asked Gov. Werts for the keys of the chamber. The Governor refused to have anything to do with the matter. A committee then visited Superintendent Ford. He referred them to Michael Nathan, the Demo­ cratic Sergeant-at-arms. Nathan could -not be found, and the Republi­ cans sent for a locksmith. The locksmith was unab'e to effect an entrance and a hundred keys we.re tried in the chamber door, but without avail. Capt. Jack Graham, of Jersey City, smashed in a window leading to the ladies' gallery. He threw back the bolt of the main doors and in a few minutes Republicans filled the room. At 3:20 Senator Rogers, President of the Republican Senate, was in the chair and the other Repub­ licans were in their seat". A Commit­ tee on Rules was appointed and Clerk Potts of tho House delivered the Sen­ ate a race-track repeal bill. A recess was then taken. The Republicans will place a guard over the chamber and keep watch night and day. The Dem­ ocratic Senate held a session in the ch&mber, but adjourned without trans* acting any business. CONFESSES TO ROBBERY. Trusted Employe of » Philadelphia Con­ cern Steal) #47,000. After twenty-seven years of service. Theodora F. Baker, paying teller of the Consolidated National Bank, of Philadelphia, stood before United States Commissioner Craig, a prisoner charged with embezzlinsr $47,000 from the nank, and with falsifying the bank's books. Baker attempted no defense, and said his steal­ ings had extended over a period of twenty years. In default of $15,000 bail he was committed to prison. A short time ago a bookkeeper named Van Duzen discovered that his books had been falsified and he found a shortage of $30,000. The discovery and fear that suspicion might fall on him so worried him that he fell ill, and while sick he confided the matter to his physician, and at the same time protested his innocence. The physician called at the bank and told Vaa Duzen's story to the officers. holier use to put them to under heaven or in heaven than to open them to these poverty-stricken and wounded bretL LaLe Michigap.
