DES MOINES, Juno 30.-(Fpoclal Tele

Savery hotel buffet, received word today to
tho effect that hla mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah
Hlntt of Omaha, had fallen heir to a lnrgo
cstnto In Austria by tho death of nn undo
engaged In tho woolen manufacturing busl
nrsM in virnnn. The woolen manufacturer,
whoso namo wus Felthorff, was a millionaire
rind his ostato will tuako his American heirs
v'rrv wnniihv. Mr. Hlatt Is his niece nnd
has now living only one daughter, who Is
tho wlfo of Colonel Harry Smith, living In
llouk Island. Mrs. Illatt had four daughters,
of which Foley married one. Foley's four
cons, who will ultimately secure much of tho
property, nil live In Omaha, ono being em

Insnrnnrn cmnnanv. ono In tho hardware
business and one u stenographer.
This iiflrrnonn Jcese A. Miller, tho nt
tornev whom Governor Shaw commissioned
to Investigate tho records of tho clerk of tho
supremo court, submitted bis report to tho
governor. Miller has entered nt some length
Into his Investigation of tho records of tho
office and finds that there havo been trregu
larltlea In tho matter of accounting for sev
oral different classes of fcc3 turned Into that
office. Theso Include thoso which have al
ready been mentioned In tho chargc3 of tho
stato treasurer against Jones, tho piesont
clerk. They Include thoso fees co!1cch1 for
making copies of the supremo court opin
ions, these for copying decisions, the certifi
cate fees of attornoy3 admitted to practice
those for the examination of the Judgment
docket and for transciiTrs..of supremo court
onlnlons.
Miller llndH that the practice In regard to
tho transcript record dates several years
back of Jones' administration. Jones' courxe
In handling the other fees contrary to tho
letter of the etatuto Is explained by Miller
at length, and ho concludes that outsldo of
these matters tho conduct of tho office Is
above reproach.
IottmiN llrml fur Convention.
A delegation of twenty-five democrats left
for Kansas City tonight, and twice as many
moro will go tomorrow night. 12. B. Kvnns,
nuo of tho prominent delegates!, expressed
himself on the vlco presidential situation as
.ollows:
'It seems to me wo should all favor th?
Idea of Towno remaining on tho ropultst
ticket, while nt the name tlmo nominating
our own candidate for vlco "president. In
that way both will draw strength fr.'m
their respective factions for tho head of th
ticket nnd there can be an ur.dsrsiandlrg
that the one defeated, which means Towne
of course, will bo given any place ho de
Jlrea In tho cabinet. It would teem to mo
everything points to tho wlsdoif of nomi
nating Hill. Ho would run stronger than
nny other man In tho east nwMs nbovo all
a true democrat nt all tlmcu, no matter
what tho platform."
A. M. Ilarr of Polk City, for whom there
Is a warrant Issued for arrest charging him
with Insanlly, Is nt large and tho Poi:
county officers aro diligently prot cutlns u
senrch for htm. Coupled with his dl'ap-
penrnnco Is tho fact that Alphonso Frnzler,
a brother-in-law of the demented nun, In
whose core Darr was entrusted last night,
Is also ralMlng. '
Attorney General Uemloy to3ay submitted
to tho cxecutlvo council an Important opin
ion bearing on building and loin ass)
clatlons. It deals with tho question of tho
legality of permitting building and l-.an
nnd savings nnd loan association? to pro
vldo for an Indebtedness other than tbc
stock authorized by law to be Issusd. Many
of tho building nnd loan assoclatlcns In
amending their articles of In o po-ntl n
havo Insisted that they should bo nl'owcd
to provide for such Indebtedness, tometlmes
as high as two-thlrdr or three-fourths of
the stock of the association. Tho council
has held that this could not bo allowed
under tho new law, but because of the p'r
slstcncy of the associations malnta nl. g
that It was regular, appealed to the a lormy
general for nn opinion which might finally
sottlo the matter. Kemloy holds wl.h tl-e

SOME HOPE FOR MINISTERS
Mt'NflMKi'H from Several Inilt-pcnilrn
houreen Intllciite. Thnt I.euntCN
Are Allvr.
WASHINGTON. Juno 30. For tho first
time slnco the break of communication with
Tien T8ln nows camo today of the foreign
ministers) there, which tho officials acccp
as accurate. Assurances coming from feu
separato sources that tha ministers wcro
safe, bodily at least, up to five days ago
seem to remove nil doubt on that point
while tho agreement of tho dispatches of
Admiral Kcmpff, of United States Coniul
Rngsdalo at Tien Tsln nnd Minister Wu
advices to tho effect that the ministers lire
still In Pekln vould scum to nltord a tolld
basis for the acceptance of that stutemen
Nono of tho recipients of theso dispatches
has any kuowlcdgo as to how the news come
fe
ft
ft
ft
ft
ft
from Pekln to warrant tho statement flint I
tho ministers aro thero at present, U la,
owever, easy to suppose that accurate nowg
of tho conditions In Pekln ot Ave days ugo
Ight havo been received by somo truatjd
messenger.
The news of tho day, Important though It
has not changed the policy ot the gov-
rnracnt toward Chlnn. Thero Is nothing
to show that tho Imperial government Is re
sponsible to ti degree warranting tho dec
laration of n stato of war. Therefore the
plan Is push forward In tho effort to bring
away the foreign ministers, doing this sldo
by sldo with tho other powers nnd leaving
all other questions for future consideration.
f tho Chinese government ordered 'the at
tacks on our forces then It has declared
war, nnd If that fact shall bo established tho
united States government will act accord
ingly. On tho other hand. If tho Chinese govern
ment was not directly n party to the upris
ing, men it lias demonstrated Its lncanaclty
nnd must reckon with th United States
Government horenfter for tho heavy In
Juries Inflicted upon Its citizens and IIb In
terests. Meanwhile, as our naval com
manders In China nppear to be following n
proper course, they will be left unham
pered by furthJr Instructions at this Juuc-
turo and will not even be reinforced, unless
they request It.
Tho foregoing decisions were reached at
tho cabinet meeting today. It was not oven
regarded as necessary to advise by wire
with the president, tho cabinet officers
knowing that ho Is In posiesslon ot the offi
cial cablegrams and so ! In position to ad-
vlso a chango of course, If ho sees fit.
Thero Is still no war with China.
It may be noted that Admiral Kempff's
prudent course, as Bet out In tho news dis
patches nnd In the nbsenco of official state
ments, meets tho unqualified npproval of
he administration.
Fortunately the wreck of the Oregon will
not affect the military plans respecting
China. It was ordered to Taku before the
forts fell nnd tor the duty that remains for
It an ordinary cruiser will do ns well.

BLAZE ON THE PIERS
(Continued from Pint Vase-)
were sent In the direction of Pier No. 1,
which was to the south end ot Pier No. 2.
To the north of Pier No. 1 was the dock of
tho Hamburg-American line, at which tho
steamship Phoenicia, n twln-tcrcw passen
ger steamer of 6,761 gross tons, was docked.
Tho llnmes got n good hold on the Phoenicia
nnd she was towed out Into midstream
nblaze.
HIoit l'p Dock ttIIIi l) nninlle.
Tho lire had by this tlmo become so fierce
that tho officials of the Hamburg-American
lino decided that tho only way to prevent
a totul destruction of their great pier was
to blow up tho sldo of tho dock at which
the Phoenicia lav. nnd this was done. A
number of barges docked ot tho pier nlso
took fire nnd they wero nllowcd to burn.
It Is feared that the Iota of llfo In the
hold of tho vessels whs frightful, na It Is
said that many members of tho crows who
were nslecp at tho tlmo wero imprisoned
there.
Tho worst tale will come from the uteam
ship Main, which was unahlo to bo towed
from the pier. Tho vessel had only ar
rived this morning und somo of the powsen
gers were still on board and when the cry
of flro was raised n number of them were
seen to run to tho burning decks. Most
ot them jumped overboard and, save for the
fow who wero picked up by the tugs, not
ono has boon heard from, although every
hotel and hospital In the city of Hoboken
la crowded with Injured. Some of tho pas
sengers of tho Main tried to escape to tho
pier and It was almost certain that they
perished In tho llanics.
Peter Qulnn, a Justice of tho peaco in
Hoboken, tells a story ot having seen at
lcnt thirty persons perish. He tsald:
"I was standing on the end ot one ot tho
Hamburg-American lino piers Hnd saw obout
thirty persons crowded under pier No. 1
of tho North German Lloyd. They were
calling to bo me of tho passing tugboats, hut
their appeals were In vulu and when tho
flamea got near them, they dived Into the
water. There wrb no amUtanco near them
at tho time and I bcllevo that every ono
cither drowned or perished In tho flames.
About 200 persons wero rescued at tho
Hamburg-American line pier. They wctc
much overcomo from exhaustion, but soon
revived when sllmulanlH wcro adminis
tered. When tho nro broke out such headway
was gained by the time the Hoboken Hre
department nrrlvcd that It wn utterly help
less to cope with the flames. The efforts
of tho llrcmen wero further handicapped by
hnvlng reverul hundred feet of hose burned.
Tho New York nro department Hent over
several Hrotugs. Thcac, however, had little
effect upon tho great mountain of flame
and nmokc.
Hy 7 o'clock tho threo piers of the North
Gorman Lloyd Steamship company had been
burned so not a vretlge remained.
The southern end ot tho Campbell Storage
company building, consisting of Ave Ave
story structures, caught nro, and flames
shot from every window of two floors In a
fow minutes. Tho buildings woro nilcd
with Juto nnd whlaky. The llremen wero
unable to go within nghtlng distance and
tho flro had pretty much Its own way there.
In theso buildings great loss will bo sus
tained.
Illn.liiK SlPnmcrn Tonei! flown Stream
Tho steamships Saalo and Bremen, after
being nulled freo from the docks, were
towed ablaze down tho bay and beached
off Liberty Island. On tho llremen, as she
blazed out In midstream, six men could
bo seen with their heads out of portholes
waving handkerchiefs for assistance. Tug
boats and small boats darted around the
big steamship making every effort to aavo
tho men, but tho terrlblo hcut from tho
flames kept them away.
Five minutes after the fire broko out
woman Jumped trom ono of-tho shlp-J In a
vain effort to reach tho water. Tho names
drovo her from tho ship and sho plunged
heedlessly In tbo direction In which It
seemed that safety lay. Sho leaped Into a
burning lighter alongside tbo ship nnd when
an officer on board tho ship, who still stood
by the doomed vessol, saw her and realize.!
what would be her fate lie plunged down
after her, hoping to drag nor out of the
burning lighter Into tho-ator. Ho fol
lowod her within a couple of seconds and
both went down Into tho llamcs In the
lighter and perished.
Tho rnpid spread of tho flames Is ac
counted for by tho shifting of tho wind
When the flro flrut broke out the wind was
blowing strongly from tho south. This
drovo tho flames across to tbo pier obsvc
tho ono on which It started. Within a fow
moments tho wind eblftcd almost directly
to tbo opposlto point.
Firemen In Close Quartern.
Somo of tho firemen from Jersey City
had narrow escapes. They had gotten out
as far as they could on tho plor to tha
south of the blazing docks nnd were en
denvorlng to recover bodies of persons who
mleht havo gotten under It. Thero was
burst of flamo from the pier adjoining
which for a time threatened to cut off tho
men nnd set flro to tho pier thoy wero oa
The men dropped Into tho water and clung
to tho Piles for a fow moments nnd tnon n
shift of tho wind drovo tho names back and
they woro ablo to retreat.
Thn Hmoko which poured out of the
flames and ascended high Into tho nlr blew
almost directly eastward and maintained
Its" column for a dlstanco of about seventy
miles, as It was seen clearly beyona ua
bvlon. L. I.
nnn man In tbo hospttnl with burned
hands nnd face said ho was rescued by an
other man more sevcroly burned tnan nun
self. Ho said he was helpless In the water
when tho other throw an arm about him
and buoyed him up. Tho other's faco was
fearfully burned and tho other nrm was
useless, hut he treaded water and noatcd
so skillfully that thoy noa'cd down tbo
river nnd a tug went to their rescue. Tho
man who told tho story snld he Minted
after being rescued and did not know it hi
rescuer had also been taken out of tho
water.
An Idea ot the Intensity of tho holt wa.
given by tbo fact that the Mosmshlp nromon
men who aro used to working in tno lire
room of n vessel, supposed to bo the botUs
plnco whero any human being works, fell
back from tho work of lighting tho names,
overcomo by tho hent.
Tho rapid spread of tho flames after thoy
started In tho cotton Is largely ascribed t
tho dust with which the pier sheds and ro
tunda wcro cover-d. Tho dust arising from
tho many different articles, surh as cotton
asconds and ordinarily settles uron t
rafters and beams nnd In every crevice.

Tho destruction of thn docks will be
sevcro loss to tho steamship enmnpny, as It

llonpltnlH Are C.'rmviled,
All of tho hospitals In Hoboken and this
city are crowded with tho victims of tho

their recovery. Hudson street hospital has
every patient that It can porslbly take car;
of, s have also Ilellevuo, St. Vincent's and
many of the hospital further up town
Thero wero over 200 persons taken to th
hospitals up to 10 o'clock tonight nnd suf
fercrs wero still coming In by tho score,
All kinds of vehlclea woro brought nl
requisition as ambulances,
Saloons, stores and muny other bulldlngt
that nappenea to ne open niong the rive
front of Hoboken wero turned Into tern
porary hospitals.
Tho smoke from the burning North Ger
man Lloyd pier caused much excitement
along tho North river front In this city
nnd millions of dollar worth of pr pcty
ere threatened with destruction from Ih
drifting steamships and li.ngn. which
floated nil aAamo totvurd tho New York
shoro and brushed against some ot tao
piers. The nre department was ealle.l o .t
nt various points along tho threatened so
tlons nnd tho unique Bpectnclo was p e-
Pented of tho flremen on shoro trying to fight
Ares that every mlnuto changed tbelr jo-
Itlons.
About half nn hour after the Aro started
two big steamships nnd several batgss
loaded with cotton wero Been from this s.di
o bo on Are nnd drifting toward the Now
ork shore. A strong ebbtldo carried ths
blazing vessels downstream nnd nearer nnd
nearer tho piers along West street, Now
York. When they wero nhout half way
across tho river tho stuoko that poured from
them hung so low thnt It was within n fo.v
feet of tho ground as It was bomo neto s
West street. Tho crowd followed tho drill
ing ships and ran along the street under
the canopy of smoke which overhung the
Ightserrs and moved southward Hi unison
with the drifting vessels.
At C o'clock ono of tho big steamers
drifted past with Its bow pointing upstream
gainst the pier occupied hy the People's
Albany line. Smoke nnd names poure 1
from every opening In the big ship as It
brushed ngalnst the pier. A number ot
tugs were vainly endeavoring to get tho
vcrsel out Into tho stream. Ileforo tho
firemen could get to work tho blazing ship
had drifted along the pier occupied by tho
Now York Central & Hudson Itlver rnllioad.
Tho steamboat Dean Richmond of the Al
bany line, loaded with passengers, wns Junt
nbout to leave tho pier when tho burning
tenmer blocked tho path. Thero was some
excitement nmong tho passengers, but It
subsided when tho blazing vessel drifted
away without harming any property Scl
eral blazing barges followed elrne behind
tho steamer, but were further out In tho
tream. The second steamer, which had
enmo toward this shoro, wns nlso some dls
tanco from the ends of the piers.
Drlftlnur Mn of Fire.
Tho steamer Saale drifted down to tho
Battery nbout 6:30 o'clock. It was ab'nzo
and Its crew wero on deck. Captain Smith
of tho police boat put his men on a tug
nd ran to tho burning ship. When the
tug reached the Saale thirty-nix of tho tat
ter's crow were taken off. Most of them
wcro conscious. Somu mirrored from smoko
Inhaled. Ambulances wero called f om
Gouovernoiir, St. Vincent's and Hud.'ou Street
hospitals, Police patrol wngons wero n'fo
called. Tho injured men wero taken In
theso several conveyances to tho diffoiont
hospitals. All nppear to bo forolguors. Nono
could talk English nnd not even their names
woro learned nt the pier.
Whllo tho crow was being taken off Cap
tain Smith noticed several bodies ot nun
on tho ship's deck. When tho tug mado ii
second trip to tho Saalo all the3o corpses
wero submerged. Tho ship had In tho
meantime drifted to tho Jersey thoro and
sunk In the mud off tho flats.
Tho patrolmen worked with grappling
hooks for two hours In nn effort to recover
tho bodies. They secured liut two, appar
ently deck hands. They wero burned beyond
recognition. The bodies wero transferred to
tho morgue.
Coiiliitn SiiiKIi'n Slory.
Captain Smith said ho thought thero wcro
a number ot bodies below In tho Saale.
"When I got to tho Saale on the flr.it trip
with tho tug," bo said, "I saw several men
with their heads at tho portholes. They
wero stuck fust nnd could get neither In ner
out. The ship wns gradually sinking. It
was a terrible sight. Some of tho men called
to us In their own tonguo to 'help them
for God's sake.' Their struggles wero some
thing frantic. Wo could do nothing for
them. Tho upper part of tho vessel was u
living furnace. Wo tried to get tho prisoners
through tho portholes. But tho holes weru
even smaller thnn usual. Wo gavo a lino to
ono man nnd tried to pull him through, but
It was a futllo attempt. I enn now hear
tho poor fellow shriek In despair as ho saw
us drawing away from htm.
"Wo heard tho cries of others back of tho
portholes. They seemed to bo struggling
for w'int llttlo air tho holes gave thoio al
ready there. It was torrlblo. ' Wo siw ono
woman at a porthole. The flames wero
rapidly approaching her. Sho was eald to
be n stewardess. A deck hand from tho tug
handed her a small hose and sho played it
about her stateroom for a fow momcn's.
They wero precious moments. My God, how
that woman fought for her llfo. Sho might
as well have poured a teacup full of water
Into a living volcano, for all the good It did.
Sho hnd no possible chnnco. As sho fought
tho flro tho ship sank rapidly.
