NEW YORK, Jan. 27. —It was a fearful death that threatened the crew of the oil tank steamship Bremerhaven, which has just arrived in 'pOrt. For 36 hours the crew fought fire.- Their vessel, laden with 1,300,000 gallons of oil, was likely to be blown up any minute. With death staring them in the face, the men heeded the coun- sel of Captain Ninnes, stood by the ship and brought her and her cargo safely to port. The Bremerhaven left Baltimore on ’ Jan. 18, bound for Antwerp. On Monday night, when about 300 miles northeast of Cape Henry, one of the crew ran to the deck screaming that the ship was afire. The heart of every man aboard stood still at the dread cry. . Each one knew that if the oil ever caught fire the ship and those aboard would be doomed. Smoke and fire poured . out of the hold when the captain called the crew to the deck. He told them in térse, curt language that they would have to fight for their lives. One-half Of the men were sent be- low to try to put out the flames, and the other half prepared the boats in case it was necessary to abandon the vessel. . The men that were assigned below found it impossible to work for more than a couple of minutes at a time on account of the smoke. They poured water in the hold and threw wet coal asheson the fire in the hope of smothering the flames. . A strong gale blew, which fanned the flames so that it was impossible to get the fire under control. Captain Ninnes ran the steamer off before the wind, and after 86 hours he had the. satisfaction of telling the crew that there was no more danger. Had the flames burned much longer they would have communicated withthe oil, which was only separated from the fire by a thin iron partition. Had they reached the Oil there would have been an explosion and little chance of the crew us- ing the boats. POSTMASTEB HUTOHINS’ PLAN. A Scheme to Assist the Government In hiaintainin‘g the Gold Reserve. CLEVELAND, Jan. 27.—Postmaster John C. Hutchins of this city has suggested a plan to Secretary Of the Treasury Carlisle which will probably be acted upon and in a measure assist the government to main- tain the gold reserve, and considerable correspondence has resulted between the authorities at Washington and the post- master. A large proportion of the receipts of the postoflice in this city is in gold, and Mr. Hutchins suggested that if this gold re- ceived at all the postoflices throughout the country, amounting perhaps to millions of dollars annually, could be placed in the United States treasury and not deposited with the national banks, as is done in each city under the present system, the scheme would result in materially helping the maintenance of the gold reserve. The postmaster has received a letter from Séc- retary. Cariisle thanking him for the sug- gestion and has also had considerable cor- respondence with Postmaster General Wil- son in reference to the subject. . The post- master general has instituted inquiries among all the larger postofiices as to the amount of gold received and where it is deposited. ‘ Destructive Blaze In Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Jan. 27.—A fire, which for a time threatened to be very destructive, broke out on the top floor of the five story building at 54 to 60 Frankfort street, oc- cupied by the Cleveland Lithograph com- pany, the Rouse Brass Foundry company, Hall Safe and Look company and a half dozen other smaller concerns. The flames were finally . subdued without having reached the adjoining buildings. The loss from fire and water will aggregate betwocn I $30,000. and $40,000; fully insured. Two hundred and fifty hands are thrown out of. employment. Railroad Trains Collide. LITTLE ROCK, Jan. 27.-AA headend col- , lislon occurred between a passenger train and a freight on the.

JO- seph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, in speaking at, Birmingham, said regarding the Venezuelan matter that he thought there had been misapprehen- sion on both sides of the water. When" Sec- retary Olney’s dispatch and President ' Cleveland’s message were delivered, the feeling was reluctantly entertained in England that the Americans must have some hostile sentiments which England did not Share, and that thevUnited States was bent on picking a quarrel with Great Britain. The idea seemed to prevail in America that England was disposed to impugn the Monroe doctrine—a doctrine to which the people of the United States rightly attached much importance—and, it was also believed in America that Great Britain was disposed to deal in a harsh and arbitrary manner with Venezuela, but reflection had brought about a more favorable understanding, and America would regard with horror a war with those of her own blood and kindred. “Cleveland, whose acquaintance I have the honor to possess,” said Mr. Chamber- lain in concluding his address, “bears a high reputation for rectitude and honora- ble dealing. He is incapable of the wick- edness of inciting two kindred nations to strife and bloodshed.” Hall Caine Fives His Views. Hall Caino, the author, furnishes an ad- vance copy of the report,which he will make at the meeting of the Authors’ so- ciety Monday. In th s report he ventures the opinion that nothing in the Venezuela or Transvaal questions can be found more liable to breed serious international and colonial disputes than the Canadian copy- right question. He points out in his state- ment the power that Canada has to em- broil England in a quarrel through un- friendly legislation toward the United States on the part of the Dominion and details at length how a. compromise may be brought about between the different in- terests. Commenting on the generous treatment which he received while in America, he continues: “On my return the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, expressed much gratification at the prospect of an amicable adjustment- of what threatened to become an awkward question. The parliamentary council has revised the draft of the act with great Wisdom, and .after considerable, research this document has been returned to Otta- wa, where it now is in the hands, of the secretary of state, Hon. W. H...Mont-aguo, who believes that the interests of authors should be safeguarded. In the meantime we may congratulate ourselves on having shown Cpnada a way to protect herself and yet of adhering to the terms of the Berne convention, .still enabling the Unit- ed States to retain all of the substantial advantages of the American copyright, at the same time having reached terms per- mitting- an expression of peace and good will toward all of the interested classes of the Dominion.” Universal Copyright: Law Desired. Referring to Professor. Goldwin Smith’s desire for one copyright law for the Whole empire, Mr. Caine says, “That should be our watchword until the morning after America abandons her manufacturing clause and joins the Bernc convention.” In conclusion, Mr. Caine said. “If we have solved the copyright question by con- siderin g it solely as a matter between Can- ada and Americarwhich it is, in the main, we have recognized at the same time that it is only one of the dangers that lies be- tween two great countries whose geograph- ical situation may be the cause of many troubles in thc,future. It is hard to con- ceive for any just cause for a war between England and the United States, but if war over takes place it will be because of fric- tion between our great Dominion and the States alongside of it. An Englishman cannot cross the Niagara river without realizing to his great pain that the fire which burned so fiercely on Queenstown heights smolders still on both sides of that turbulent water.” St. Louis to Take St. Paul’s Place. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.—The Ameri- can line steamship St. Louis, sister ship to the St. Paul, which was brought to Cramps’ shipyard On Wednesday for the purpose of having her smokestacks en- larged, in order to increase her draft,-has been ordered to New York to take the place of the St. Paul, which went ashore » in a fog off Long Branch.

[From the Boston Herald] An incubus 1s a good thing—to be rid of. And there are many differing in kind. But we know you might safely offer the worst of all others to the suf- ferer from kidney disease, and he would gladly swap. A sufi‘erer once described it thus. “Put your thumb in a use and turn until you can stand it no long er. Give it one more turn—that’s kid- ney disease.” He wasn ’t far wrong.

Mr. Pierce’ 5 duties require constant stand- ing (always had for the kidneys), and for nine months his back was lame. To use his own expression, ”If I re- mained for five minutes in one spot it gave me fits to move. it was one steady ache, with sharp pains added in changing position It gave me severe pain to bend over and worseto straight- en up again.’ This was the thumb in the vice, with the extra turn.
