PASSENGERS FRIGHTBEED
Cotton in the Lower Fore-Hold Was
sfiokmg—Big Ship Puts About
and Stenms Back‘:to Her Pier—201
Passengers. .
New York, Nov. 6.—,--The steamship
Southwark, of the Red Star line, which
sailed from this port ‘on Wednesday
for Antwerp, with 200 passengers and
,a large crew, returned yesterday and
docked at her pier at Fulton street, at
4 p. m., with her cargo of cotton
ablaze. '
The 'fire was confined to twenty-six
.bales of cotton in the forward hold.
This cotton was piled upon several
hundred bushels of grain.
The.fire was discovered late Wednes-
day afternoon, shortly after the South-
wark was out of sight of land. There
was great excitement among the pas-
sengers. Smoke poured out of the hold"
and through the port holes in great
clouds. . _
Capt. Benche called the passengers
together in the main salon and assured
them there was no danger. He said
the fire was confined, to a steel hold
and that it was impossible for the
. flames to break through.
As soon as the fire was discovered
steam from the injectors was rapidly
pumped into, the hold. This subdued
the flames and left the fire smoldering.
The luggage of the passengers and
the most valuable part of the freight
was rapidly dragged on deck. , The ves-
sel was then headed back to this port,
much to the relief of the more hyster-
ical of the passengers. She steamed
slowly up the river, and by the time
the pier was reached- the fire was so
far out she could be docked. ‘
Those who watched the steamer ap-
proach her pier under her own steam
could discover no evidences of any-
thing wrorig aboard her, but as she
was warped into the dock a faint odor
of mingled smoke and steam was
wafted ashore.
The passengers were gathered along
the rails watching for familiar faces
on the wharf, and waving hands and
fluttering handkerchiefs to those whom
they recognized.
Without delay a. large gang of ’long—
shoremen' were set to work opening up
the forward hatch and getting out the
cargo from the upper hold.~ Great
clouds of steam came up when the
hatch of the spar deck was raised.
In half an hour or so the hatch of
the main deck was reached and opened
and the ’longshoremen got at the
cargo below. Truck 10 came to the
street end of the pier with its long
ladders, and some of these the firemen
brought to the ship in readiness for
their final battle below the' water level,
and they brought axes and other ims
plements for their work. The fireboat
was in the slip alongside ready to turn
on Niagara. .
At 5 o’clock the hatchway of the
lower deck was raised.‘ Then instead
of steam there arose ’a cloud of blue-
gray smoke. The firemen went down
with their ladders, and the New Yorker
turned her floods of water upon the
burning cotton and kept that up until
the last spark of fire was out.
It was not possible last night to get
any estimate as to the damage done,
but it was asserted that this was prac-
tically confined to the cargo in the for-
ward hold. The Southwark is a twin-
screw boat of 5,700 tons register and
8,700 tons gross, and is 477 feet long.
Her hold is divided into watertight
compartments by nine steel bulkheads. -
Among the saloon passengers are the
Rev. F. X. Lachance, 'of Newport, who
was on his way to Brussels, where he
is to be the guest of Bellamy Storer,
United States Minister 'to Belgium.
FOSTER’S DOG BETRAYED HIM.
Unn‘ittlngxly Discovered His Master
to His Pnrsuers.
Paris, Nov. 6.—At the examination of
William R. Foster, the absconding at-
torney of the Gratuity Fund of the
New York Produce Exchange, who
was arrested at Neuilly on Oct. 23 upon
a charge of stealing $13,000 belonging
to the fund, it was shown that he was
elaborately disguised before his cap-
ture. He had shaved the hair from his
head and substituted a. wig, and in
other ways endeavored to conceal his
identity, but, curiously enough, he was
always accompanied by a splendid dog,
which the American detective in search
of Foster recognized. When the detect-
ive saw the _ animal at Neuilly he
called to him. The dog at once an-
swered to his name, and leaped upon
the detective in a friendly way. Fos-
ter, betrayed by his canine‘f-riend, was
soon afterward taken into custody.
It is likely that the London and
Paris police will become involved in a.
dispute over the reward of $5,000 which ~
the New York Produce Exchange of-
fered for Foster’s arrest.
His Kiss Cost Him $25. .
New York, Nov. 6.—"Twenty-five dol-
lars is rather steep for a kiss,” said,
Peter O'Neill, when fined that amount
in the Butler Street Court, Brooklyn,
yesterd: y. _ -
O’Neill kissed his housekeeper with-
out her permission, and she had him
arrested forassault. ’.
After paying his fine, O'Neill and his
housekeeper left the .court-room to;
gether, apparently on better terms
,with each other. ’
The Contest In Ohio. _.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 6.-7-'The contest
for control of the Legislature will
probably be taken to the courts. Ofli-
cial returns from about one-fourth of
the eigh ty-elght counties have been re-
ceived by the Secretary of State. The
returns of close counties have been pro-
tested, and it is proposed to prevent
the issue of certificates of election to
ceftain legislative candidates, if the
courts will so order. ' ‘

years old and a m1llwright by trade.
In my younger days I worked very
hard and for years I have been troubled
with, kidney and . bladder complaint.
My back ached so severely at times I
could not move and I was compelled to
get up often at night to urinate and
lost a. great deal of sleep. I tried med—
icines and plasters but they would not
cure me. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills
advertised and I got a box at Glenden—
ing’s. They were just the thing for
my trouble. I have every reason to
think that they are just what the man-
ufacturers claim for them. They have
made me sound and well.”
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, six
boxes for $2.50. By mail on receipt of

l'l‘he healthy ,LCond'ition ,2th Channels
3 ”as Indicated by Less Failures.
New York, "Nov. . 6.-'-‘S,tr.onger proof of
the great change in: the condition of
business could not be given than is /
found in the detailed report of failures
by branches 'of‘business, never shown 3 ,_
except by Dun &.Co., for .the month of
October. Though swelled by a few
large speculative or brokerage failures.
the aggregate was smaller than in. any
other month for more than four years,
except in July and August and one
month in 1894. The manufacturing and
trading failures, $7,823,199, against $7,-
830,811 in September and $7,760,835 in
August, include one for $1,000,000 hav-
ing no relation to the present state of
business. During the four years iron
manufacturing failures have not been
smaller except in one month, wool
manufacturing except in two, months,
leather and shoes and unclassified
manufacturing except in four months,
and cotton manufacturing except in
’- six months. Of trading classes, failures
have never been smaller in groceries,
iewelry and books except in one month,
in clothing, furniture and unclassified
trading except in two months, and ten
eleven- trading
classes out of fourteen have never re-
ported smaller failures in a'third of the
past forty—eight months. Improvement
so general; with a remarkably low av-
erage of liabilities in most classes, has
a meaning which cannot be mistaken.
’ The quiet following the great rush of
orders and purchases for over ,two
months is still increased in many
branches by 'unseasonably mild
weather, and yet the mills are obliged
to refuse many orders because unable
to finish previous engagements soon
enough. It is in every way fortunate
for the industries and the would-be
buyers, since speculative purchases
would otherwise advance prices so fast
as to make reaction probable. More
works have joined the active list, in-
cluding some longpidle, and the produc-
tion in iron manufacture is the greatest
ever known.
Another rise in wheat lifted the price
above $1, but profit-taking speedily
caused reaction, and the price closed
21/2 cents lower for the week. Receipts
Were about a million bushels larger
than last year, and Atlantic exports,
flour included, were 3,287,536 bushels,
against 1,862,533 last year. Exports in
October, as in September, were heavier
than in any preceding month, and af-
ter gloomy reports of the condition of
Winter wheat extensive rains have
caused material improvement. Corn
has grown stronger in spite of the
course of wheat, and authorities much
credited estimate the yield at 1,823,000,-
000 bushels, which would hardly permit
continuance of heavy exports in place
of wheat through the year. Cotton has
not lifted above 6 cents, and the ac-
cumulation and declining prices of
goods, with the somewhat increased
prospect of extensive stoppage of Eng-
lish mills, causes less speculation than
usual. ‘
Exports and imports at New York
since Oct. 1 indicate a larger excess of
exports than has ever been known,
which must provide against needs of
gold for some time to come. Failures
for the week have been 276 in the Unit-
ed States, against 230 last year, and
thirty in Canada, against fifty-two last
year.
SITUATION IN MARYLAND.
Senator Gormnn’s Successor Attract-
ing the Attention of Republicans.
Washington, Nov. 6.——Senator Gor-
man’s defeat for the Senate being
practically conceded by the Democrats,
the Republicans are giving their atten-
tion to the question of the probabili-
ties of the Republicans obtaining con-
trol of the United States Senate after
1899. At present the Republicans have
a plurality in the Senate over the Dem-
ocrats, but fall short of a majority
over the Democrats and Senators of'
the silver party. The Republicans ex-
pect to retain the seatnow held by,
Senator Hanna, and in addition to gain
the seat held by Senator Mitchell
(Dem.), of Wisconsin. Other seats
which they hope to gain in 1899 to give
them control absolutely of the Senate
are those held by Senators Faulkner,
West Virginia; Gray, Delaware; Mur-
phy, New York; Smith, New Jersey;
Turpie, Indiana, and White, California.
ACCOrding to the present outlook the
only seat now held by the Republicans
which they are in danger of losing is
that held by Senator John L. Wilson,
of Washington. -.
The question of Senator Gorman’s
successor is attracting the attention of
Republicans, and the contest bids fair
to become one of national interest.
Among the most prominent candidates
mentioned are Postmaster-General
Gary, 'Representative Mudd, Judge
McComas and Gov. Lowndes. In-addi-
tion to these gentlemen there are“ a.
score of other names ‘mentioned. The
talk regarding Postmaster-General
Gary, it is believed, .will come to
naught, as the Postmaster-General is
"from Howard County, the home of
Senator Gorman, and his own county
sends a solid Democratic delegation to
the Legislature. If Howard should be
urged as a. candidate he would have
to rely on support outside his' own
county.
There is some talk of Senator Wel-
lington taking a hand in the contest,
but as he was overwhelmingly de—
feated in his “party primaries and took
no part in the Maryland campaign,
and besides predicted the success of
Gorman, the junior Senator is gener-
ally discredited in Republican ranks.‘
Now for the South Pole.
Washington, Nov. 6.—Fritjof Nansen
is perfecting plansfor a trip to the
South Pole, and has consulted wizh
several prominent explorers in this :’ "y.
on the proposed scheme. Althoug. -;o
definite plans have yet been made, it
is probable that the Antartic expedi-
tion will be undertaken in the Spring
of 1899. .
