The fire is still raging, all efforts ox the fireman, assisted by the military and populace, to quell it having eo far proved unavailing. At noon to-day it was estimated that the number of deaths l?y the disaster will not exceed 160. Two hundred and fifty persons were seriously and 00 slightly injured. The firemen and troops were worked through the entire night on hourly shifts. Mauy of them succumbed to the heat and smote, and had to bo conveyed to hospitals, insensible, on stretchers. All the worksrs had blackened faces and bore evidences of the sickening effects of the dense Bmoke which clogged their efforts. Work to-day was entirely confined to keeping the fire from spreading beyond the eheds and factories within the dry-dock. The wind still continued favorable. Six million litres of petroleum are in fames, and the oil. it is expected, will continue to burn at least until Monday. At the moment of the explosion many of the workmen jumped into the Scheldt, in their fright, and were drowned. A number of sailors and customs officers were killed on board ships by the flying bullets, and ships were riddled by the missiles. It is estimated that 2,000 tons of cartridges ex- . ploded. The noise was heard thirty miles away. The smoke which tilled the air was greater in volume than that of a great battle. Human heads and other parts of bodies were found half a mile away from the scene of the disaster. One hundred and thirty whole corpseslie in the morgues, and charred heaps of human remains represent an unknown number of dead. Tha "first officer of the Red Star line steamer Zealand was terribly wounded on board his ship. The populace watched the flames all night. The noiso of the exploding barrels of oil and the falling of the ruins exactly resembled the sounds of a battle. Those who have been deprived of their homes by the fire are encamped upon the river banks The water-works, which cost 80,000, are three parts destroyed. ' The Minister ot the Interior has visited the scene of the explosion. The King and Queen have telegraphed, expressing sym Tathy with the sufferers. Subscriptions have been opened for the relief of thoso rendered destitute by the disaster. Two Million-Dollar Fire. New York, 8ept. 7. A very disastrous fire broke out about 1:80 o'clock this afternoon in the mammoth sugar plant of the Dick &. Meyer Sugar Refinery Company, on North Seventh and North Eighth streets, Williamsburg. The tire started with an explosion on the fifth tloor of one of the buildings, the exact cause of which is not known. It is supposed to have been caused by the explosive nature of finely powdered particles of sugar which had permeated the air in tho mills where the granulated sugar was reduced to the powdered product. Four alarms and a special call were sent out. The filter-house, next door to tho rolinerv, soon caught fire, and shortly afterwards the second filter-house, on North Seventh street, was seized by the hungry flames. Almost at the same time the machine building, office building and a number of sheds were attacked. At 2:30 the floors and walls of the building had fallen in. and at 5 o'clock the flames nad reached the storage house on North Seventh street, where eight thousand barrels of an gar were stored. In half an hour this was all burned up, and soon the entire plant of twelve buildings was in ruins. About twenty thousand barrels of sugar went up in smoke. During the progress of the lire Martin Schmidt was burned about the face. John Keller about the head and Geo. S. Wallen had his arm fractured by a falling brick. Three others were slightly injured. At 6 o'clock the flames were under control. There were three mills at work reducing the granulated sugar to powder. The entire establishment, which consisted of a collection of buildings eight stories high, extending about 400 feet on North Seventh street, 500 feet on North Eihth street, and ISO fet along the dock, was reduced to a mass of ruins. It was filled with very valuable machinery, and the loss on the "building and machinery is estimated at about 1,500,000. Within the building were 1,700 barrels of sugar, valued at about half a million dollars, making a total loss of about 2.000,000. The property was insured to its full valued. The mills had a capacity of about 1,000,000 pounds daily, and employed about 300 men, who will be thrown out of employment. Desperate Determination to Die. New York. Sept. 7. One of the most determined attempts at suicide ever heard of was made laet night by Lena Hertzoc, seventeen years old, who resides with her parents in Williamsburg. The girl is a comely brunette, plump of form, and of pleasing appearance. She was a passenger on the ferry-boat from Brooklyn on the 12:10 o'clock trip last night, to this city. The boat had not yet cleared the slip, when one of the deckhands saw the girl swiug herself clear of the east rail and disappear. Inside of a few seconds life-preservers, ladders and ropes were called into requisition. Tho electric light made things as clear as day. The first lifepreserver thrown fell close to the girl, but h pushed it awav with an angry gesture. Ihe noise and shouts attracted the ticketchopper, James Kelly, who has already saved thirteen pcoplo from drowning. He jumped into the river, seized tho girl by the waist, and lifted her bodily np, so that she might breathe. The girl turned upon him and struggled to free herself from his grasp. Kelly held on. however, and made for the elip. A desperate struggle followed. The half-drowned cjrl seemed to gain new strength, and she fought lice a tigress. When near tho slip ropes were thrown. Kellr caught one aud wound it around the body of his charge, but it was quickly thrown off. This the gin repeated three times, and then seizing her rescuer by the arm. savage17 bit him. She was finally landed, wet, limp and exhausted. This water battle Usttd fully fifteen rainutca, When stinu-

Finally the reckless creature was placed under arrest aud afterwards sent to the hospital in an ambulance where to-day she was doing nicely. Her parents say that the whole adventure arose from a lovo affair. - -Sullivan's Ilace for Congress. New York, Sept 7. In an interview regarding his proposal to stand for Congress, Sullivan said: "You know of the misfortune that I have just had in the losa of my mother. It was not unexpected, for a year ago the doctors told me that she could notlive if the rheumatism reached her heart. But her death has had a great effect on me. I don't want to talk about it much, lean only say that I do not feel like living as I have done up to now. You know how people abuse me, and if I make a good resolution my enemies laugh at me, while my friends try to get me to break it. But I will show them what I mean to do without saying much about it. In the first place I shall give up boxing, which has occupied all my time so far. It is an honorable calling and does good, but as a Congressman or a candidate for Congress. I of course could not continue to be a professional pugilist. My reputation is made. The cropping up of Dew fighters cannot injure it, and these challenges can't worry me. I shall go through with my six week's exhibition and shall put my money away carefully, andattencf to my political career exclusively. Now that my mother is dead there is no one depending upon me but my father, and he is well cared for. He. has houses in his own name which will kee him in comfort to the end of his days. have brought him on with me from Boston, because I can't leave him alone to worry about my mother's death. It's harder for him than for me after living together forty years. "Mike, to his brother! step up and ask the old gentleman to comedown." Mr. Sullivan, sr., came down and was affectionately introduced by his son as the little father of a big boy. He is an unusually small man and forms a striking contrast with his son. celebrated all the world over for being just the reverse of a small man. Curiously enough, while Sullivan was talking of "his future political aspirations, as revealed in his letter, a friend ol his now in Congress, dropped in to seefiim and to express sympathy at his mother's death, also to say that he would be glad to do all he could to help Sullivan out of his trouble down South. Irish Politics. Special to the Inrtlimiiolis Journal. London, Sept. 7. The rumor that the Irish Conservatyres have laid their views before Lord Salisbury on the question of Irish local government is denied by the members concerned, but there is little doubt that they have had the question more or less formally under consideration. A meeting of the party was held a few days ago, the proceedings of which were kert strictly secret, but it was generally regarded at tho time as having more importance than usually attaches to these gatherings of Ulster members. That the prevailing feeling among the Irish Conservatives is opposed to any large change of Irish local government goes without saying, but that their views will have any weight in aetermining the ministerial policy is highly improbable. They might weigh somewhat with Lord Salisbury,. but they have not the smallest influence with either Mr. Goschen or Mr. Chamberlain, who are supposed to be the moving spirits in favor of making the next session a great occasion of Irish legislation. Certain Tories, who claim to have special knowledge of the intentions of the government, look upon Ulster opposition to the plans of the Ministry as an assured factor in the problem, but believe that this will be counterbalanced by support from the Liberal benches. Probably, however, it will be found that even the Ulster party is likely to dissension. The only point on which they are in harmony at present is the abolition of the viceroyalty, though they differ greatly as to what, if anything, should be substituted for it. Fought at Tippecanoe. BXtttial to the Imlisnspolls Journal. Marshall, 111., Sept. 7. The three days annual reunion of the Clark County Veterans' Association at Uolin'a Bluff, one mile north of Darwin, closed this evening. It was one of the most successful ever held in the county. Two hundred and three old soldiers were registered, and fully 5.000 people were in attendance. The Marshall cornet band furnished tho music. The speakers were ex-Con gressni an James F. Johnston, of Kockville, Ind.: E. A. Hariley, of Vigo county, Indiana, aud Captain Harlin. of Marshall. B. B. Farman was elected colonel of the association for the ensuing year. There were some old soldiers present who have reinarkablo records. Among these is James McCormick, of Darwin, aged one hundred and seven years, who fought in the battle of Tippecauoe and was with General Harrison all through the war of 1812, and in the Indian war after that. Martin Grove, of Wabash, aged eightyseven, was a soldier in the Black Hawk war, enlisted in thef Mexican war, bnt saw no service, and fought in the rebellion, though then over sixty years of age. Oliver C. Lowell, of Darwin township, aged eighty-five, was a lieutenant in the Black Hawk war. Hostility Against Russia. Copyright, 1S59, br tlie New York Associated Press. 1 Berlin, Sept. 7. The new Sixteenth Army Corps is intended to be stationed on the Russian frontier. The temper of the Foreign Office toward Russia is growing worse. The rumor of tho visit of the Czarewitch to Paris is not credited unless he goes in the strictest incognito. The Czar's treatment of Emperor William continues to embitter the relations between the two countries. The semi-official press is permitted or instructed to speak with notable frankness and severity. The Hamburg Correspondence, in an undoubtedly inspired article, says: Germany must accept the fact of the perma nent nosuiuy oi me czar, jrereistenee in the liasslan policy is more dangerous to the peace of Europe than French chauvinism. The Chancellor, being convinced of the Czar's lasting enmity. will cease Lis delicate and cautious treatment of Russia, and henceforth frankly treat bt. Petersburg as he. treats Faria. The Czarewitch will be the guest of the Emneror from tho 15th to the 22d of Sep tember. If the Czar's heir is sent to Paris directly after parting from Lmperor William, it will increase the tension to tho breaking point. Court advices are to the effect that The Czarewitch will return to Fredensborg, and thence proceed to St. Petersburg, Labor Reforms In ihe German Reichstag. Copyright, 18$9, by the New York Associated Press. Berlin. Sept. 7. The approach of the opening of the final session of the Reichs tag is causing all parties to asu what form of policy the government is likely to take on which to go beforo the country. The semi-official press affords no special indi cation. Prince Bismarck is obviously awaiting the results of tne trench elec tions. If the present government is so materially weakened as to make lioulancerism an important factor of the French policy we are certain to hear the war drum beat in 1S90. Prioce Bismarck appears to bo preparing to give prominence to social reforms, bills dealing with strikes, and measures aiming to protect the poor classes anainst undue interest on loans.

Sullivan was very meajrerlj attended, only about 1,200 neonl being ureaenL The various exhibitions given prior to the appearance of bulllran were of a fair claps, but the only event that created anything like enthusiasm was the wrestling match between Muldoon and "Greek George.' and the bout ttween cheridan and Phannon. two cleverllgbt-weights.

ICoprrlght. 1889, by the New York Associated Prcss.1 Berlin, Sept. 7, The action of the, Cathollo congress at Bochum, in abstaining from a declaration in favor of the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope Is reeolved with unfavorable comments by a section of the Cathollo press, chiefly outside of Germany. Among the Centrists, Dr. indthorst's epeeoh In favor of the maintenance of the triple alliance, although rendering the restoration of Rome to the Pope impossible, is accepted as tl e only possible policy.

Where a Man Can LUe for a Fenny a DaySurprising Economy of the Chinese. Philadelphia Telegraph, The Chinese are pre-eminently economi cal, whether it ho in limiting the number of wants, in preventing waste, or in adjusting forces in such a manner as to make a little represent a great deal. The universal diet consists ot nee, beans, millet, garden vegetables and iish, with a little meat on high festivals. Wholesome food in abundance may bo supplied at less than a penny a day for each adult, and even in famine times thousands of persons have been kept alive for months on about a half penny a aay eacn. ihis implies the existence of a high degreo of culinary skill in the Chinese. Iheir modes of preparing food are thorough and various. There is no waste, everything is made to do as much duty as possible. What is left is ths veriest trifle. The physical condition of the Chinese dog and cat, who has to live on tho leavings of the family, ehows this. They are clearly Kept on starvation allowances. Ihe Chinese are not extremely fastidious in regard to food: all is iish that comes to their net, and most things come there sooner or later. Certain disturbances of the hu man organization, due to eating diseased meat, are well recognized among the people, but it is considered better to eat the meat, the cheapness of which is certain, a ud run the risk of the consequences, which i',re not quite certain, than to buy dear meat even with the assurance of no evil results. Indeed, the meat of animals whicn have died of ordinary ailments is rather dearer than that of those which have an epidemic such as plenro-pnenmonia. Another example of careful, calculating economy is the construction of the cookingpot and boilers, the bottoms of which are as thin as possible, that the contents may boil all' the sooner, for fuel is scarce and dear, and consists generally of nothing nut tuo stalks ana roots of the crops, which make a rapid blaze and disappear. The business of gatherine fuel is committeed to children, for ono who can do nothing else can at least pick up straws, and leaves and weeds. In autumn and winter a vast army of fuel-gatherers spread over the land. Bovs ascend trees and beat them with clubs to shake all the leaves. Ihe very straws get no time to show which way the wind blows before they are annexed by some collector. l z ;i i t s simuariy proiessionai manure-coiiectors swarm over all the roads of the country. Chinese women carry this minute economy into their dress. .Nothing comes amiss to them; if it is not used in one place it is in another, where it appears a thin tr of beautv. Foreign residents who gave their cast-off clothe to Chinese may be assured the career of usefulness of these garments is at last alsaat.to commence. Chinese wheelbarrows squeak for want of a few drops of oil, but t.a people who have no nerves the saueak is cheaper than the oil. Similarly dirt is cheaper than not water, and so. as a rule. the people do not wash, ihe motto.
