THREE ROSES.
DOROTHY KING.
Longyears ago I pulled a rose,
A Perisian rose of golden hue,
And then I laid it safely away
With joyous laugh as children do.
"And late that night I, sleeping,
dreamed
A spirit came and wHispered me
'The yellow rose a symbol is
Of youth," and vanished quietly.
In after years a crimson rose
Lay on , my breast a whole day
through,
A- d this one, too, I laid away,
But with soft sighs as lovers do. .
r And when that night I, dreaming,
slept,
" The spirit came to me once more
And said, "Red roses are Love's sign,"
Then softly went as long before.
I plucked a white rose yestermorn
As sweet and pure, dear love, as you,
And laid it on your folded hands
With blinding tears as mourners do.
And when at last still night came on
I heard the spirit softly moan,
-"White roses are the ' flowers of
Breath,"
It ceased, and I was left alone.

GREAT FIRE AT
NEW YORK CITY.
Piers and Steamships of North
German Lloyd Line Were
Destroyed.
MANY LIVES WERE LOST.
One of the Hamburg Line Steamships
Also Burned Large Storage Ware
houses Went Up in Flame and
Smoke $10,000,000 Fire.
Bv Telegraph to the Morula Star.
New 'York, June 30, Almost ten
million dollars worth of property was
destroyed, many lives were lost, many
persons were injured and at least 1,500
lives were imperilled by a fire that
started among cotton bales stored on
Pier - No. 3 of the North German!
Tlnvd SteamshiD Company, in Ho
boken, N. J., at 4 o'clock this after
noon. In less than fifteen minutes the
flames covered an area a quarter of a
mile long, extending outward from
the actual shore line to the bulkheads
from six hundred to one thousand
feet away and had caught four great
ocean liners and a dozen or more
small harbor craft in its grasp,
Stories in regard to the loss of life
are - conflicting, the number being"
variously estimated v from fifty to two
hundred. Up to midnight ten bodies
had teen recovered, but they were all
so burned and blackened that identifi
cation was impossible. The hospitals
in New York, Hoboken and Jersey
City are 'crowded with the injured an4
men are being brought in by scores.
Those who gathered along the shores
of the Hudson, river to witness the
great conflagration saw a spectacle
they can never forget and one that
will always have a conspicuous place
in the history of New York city.
A Fearful Spectacle.
The river and bay were enveloped
in a pall of black smoke, through
which angry flames, bursting as from
volcanoes, on the Jersey shore and in
the water itself, leaped like red
spears into the sky. The surface of
the water was covered with floating
and blazing masses of freight, thrown
in haste from the doomed vessels
all unnoticed in the mad race to
rescue more precious life, threatened
or being sacrificed in the great slips.
And through the pall of smoke a
great crimson sun, . enlarged to thrice
its size by the haze, glared like an
enormous eye as it slowly sunk in the
west
Such was the tremendous spectacle
presented on the surface of the Hud
son river, as if it had been some holi day
pageant. It was made tragic by
the realization that somewhere in that
smoke, somewhere beneathjhe turbid
waters, scores of human lives had been
lost or were then in their last desper
ate struggle against death.
This spectacle was witnessed by
thousands and thousands from both
shores, and by other thousands who
crowded on every ferry boat, every va
riety of craft that could be secured for
the purpose. The crowd upon the
banks of the river was almost as great
as that which was formed to witness
the triumphant return of Admiral
Dewey.
Men working in the holds of the
four steamships were shut in by walls
of flames and it was impossible to
reach them. It probably never will be
known, how many, lives perished in
the ships, as the flames would leave
but few if any remnants of the human
body. The greatest loss of life appears
to have been on the Saale. She car
ried 450 people and was to have sailed
for Boston this afternoon. When the
police boat captain went out with his
rescuing party, he saw bodies lying all
around the deck. The steamship Bre
men carried a crew of 300 men, and
the Main 250 and if as many lives were
lost as on the Saale, the number of
dead will be very great.
Steamships Burned.
-
The flames started so suddenly and
gained such headway that the people
on the piera and on the numerous ves
sels docked were unable to reach the
street.- There were great gangs of
workmen on the piers and these, to
gether with a number of people who
were at the docks on business and visi
ting the ships, scattered in all direc
tions. As all means of exit were cut
off by the flames they were forced to
jump overboard and no doubt a great
number of people were drowned.
At the docks for the North German
Lloyd were the Saale, a single-screw
passenger ship of 4,965 gross tons; the
foremen, a twin screw passenger and
freight steamer of 10,526 tons, and the
Main, a twin-screw freight and passen
ger steamship of 12,200 gross tons.
They all caught fire, and were burned
to the water's edge. The Kaiser Wil
helm der Grosse, which had just come
in, was the only one of the four big
vessels at tne docs that escaped.
The Fire Discovered.
The Urn was first. rlisvtirAi-arl hn o
watchman on the pier at 4 o'clock. He
saw a small streak of flame shoot from
a bale of cotton on Pier No. 2, at
which was docked the steamer Saale.
He immediately sent in an alarm. In

to the ships and soon communicated to
the pier on the north. Here were
docked the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse
and the Main. Tugs were immedi

There were hundreds of men on
each of the destroyed steamships and a
few women. Crowds of dock labor

nies were on all the piers. Men , wo
men and children were on the canal
boats and men on the barges and
lighters and when the fire made ils
quick descent upon them escape
was cut off before they realized their
awful position. The people on the
piers jumped into the water to save
themselves and scores of men huddled
under the piers, clinging to the sup
ports only to be suffocated by the
flames or to drop back into the water
from exhaustion.
Peter Quinn, a justice of the peace
ia Hoboken, tells a story of having
seen at least thirty people perish. He
s&id: "I was. standing on the end of
the Hamburg-American lino piers
and saw about thirty or forty peo
pie crowd under Pier No. 1 of the
North German Lloyd. They were
calling to some of tne passing tug
boats, but their appeals were in vain,

no assistance at the time and l Deneve
that every one was drowned or
perished in the flames.
About ZOO people were rescuea at
the Hamburg-American line pier.
They were much overcome from ex
haustion, but soon revived with stimu
lants.
When the fire broke out sucif-head-

they were utterly helpless to cope with

BATTLESHIP OREGON.
Farther Particulars of the Disaster Cap
tain Wilde's Statement Efforts
to Save the Vessel. '
By Telegrapn to the Mornlne Btar.
Washington, June 30. The follow
ing dispatches were received at the
Navy Department this morning, rela
tive to the grounding of the Oregon :
"Che Foo, June 2fl.-Anchored yes

fathoms, three miles south of How Ke

been sent to assist the Oregon, re
ported by Rogers on a rock. The. Iris
is going to her assistance.
(Signed) "Remey."
Captain Wilde's statement of the
ib juries sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the con
structors here to form an opinion as
to the prospects of saving the famous
ship. They say, however, that the
ship probably can be saved if the
weather does not become rough; but
unfortunately this is the season of
storms in Chinese waters.
The point where the Oregon
grounded is fifty' miles west north
west of Che Foo. Taku is 150 miles
west of Pinnacle rock, where she
struck.
At'.the request of the Secretary of
the Navy, the State department to-day
sent a message to the Russian govern:
ment, at St. Petersburg, asking per
mission to bring the Oregan to Port
Arthur to be docked there in the event
that the ship can be floated. At that
point is the nearest dock of sufficient
size to dock the ship, and it is part of
the navy yard possessions of the Rus

Oregon. Her total cost was $6,575,032.
Un this total the hull and machinery

facts set out in Captain Wilde's cable

censure him. He was under orders to

by Cable to the Mornlnz Btar.
London, June 30. The total
absence of news from China leaves
the situation, especially the fate of the
ministers, as obscure as ever and the
London News agencies are endeavor
ing to find light in other European
capitals. One states that the Chinese
egation at Berlin declares that there
is every reason to believe that the
powers are willing to accept the inter
vention of Li Hung Chang and others.
A St. Petersburg correspondent
quotes the Novosti as stating that the
Kussian omcial view is that Kussia
must play the leading role in the sun
pression of the revolt; that her inter
ests are supreme in Northern China
and that she must have the ruling
voice in the settlement with the irekm
government.
L.ONDON, July l. a special dis
patch from Shanghai, dated June 30th,
says that all on board the U. S. battle
ship Oregon, which went ashore in the
Ghilf of Pecmli, have been saved.
There is some chance of the vessel be
ing refloated.
Berlin, June 30. A high foreign
official said to-day:
"The theory of 'no war' is still up
held. The understanding between the
powers is still intact ! No exchange
of notes is going on at present.
Japan, some time ago, asked the
powers for their programme, which
communication was answered. The
press has been exaggerating the share
which diplomacy has hitherto bad in
the matter. There has not been any
talk of dismissing the Chinese minis
ters in Europe." ,
Lord Gough, the British charge
d'affaires, said he thought the powers
were keeping up the fiction of no war
as long as possible out of fear that
difficulties might arise between them
selves in China if war was once offi
cially admitted, i
The correspondent of the Associated
Press also interviewed the Chinese
minister, Lui Hai Houan, who said:
i here has been no question hitherto
in Europe of handing the Chinese
ministers their passports. No one
knows where the ministers to China
are. The sending of itroops hence to
China is useless, for everything will
be over before their arrival. It will
require six weeks to get them to Tien
Tsin, and Li Hung Chang will sup
press tne tfoxers in three weeks."
mere is growing dissatisfaction
throughout Germany with the attitude
of the government regarding China,
especially because the government
publishes little official news and even
some of this is erroneous. At the for
eign office evasive answers were given
to inquiries as to the number of troops
and ships which may be dispatched.
Revolt ia Chan Tang.
London. June 30. A snecial from
Shanghai says the railway between
Tien Tsin and Taku is now in working
order. A telegram from Che Foo
dated yesterday (Friday) reports that
a Japanese steamer has arrived with a
number of ladies and children from
New Chang which is now defended by
Russians and Japanese.
The Chan Tune province is now up
in arms according to special dispatches
from Shanghai and the rebels are de
stroying the missions. The foreigners
are escaping by means of an escort
from the governor.
BOxer placards have been posted at
Yat Kidicg, a city of one day's march
from Shanghai, fixing Sunday as a day
ror massacre or the l foreigners and the
burning of the missions. The consul
has detained a steamer, which will
take away the foreigners.
According to; Chinese advices the
German coal mines at Chow Fu in
Shan Tung have been set on fire.
The Germans, according to the re
ports, are awaiting a cavalry escort,
wnicn is expected to relieve them.
1 he city of Uhin Chow, according
to other advices received from China

are now looting it. The missions have
been destroyed, the members barely

large reinforcements are necessary to

Acquires Control of the Georgia & Ala
bama and the Plorida Central
Railroads.
By Telegraph to the Marnlng Star.
Richmond, Va , June 30. President
John Skelton Williams, of the
S. A. Li, today announced that
at meetings of the directors and
stockholders of the Seaboard Air
Line railway, the Plorida Cen
tral and Peninsular railroad and
the Georgia and Alabama railway this
week, arrangements were perfected by
which the S. A. L. railway assumes
the operation, on and after July 'first,
of the Georgia & Alabama railway
and the Florida Central and Pniusu-
lar system, as divisions of the S A. Li.
system.
At those meetings the necessary
steps were taken for the immediate
consolidation with the S. A. L. railway
of some six or seven individual roads
embraced in the system, aggregating
more than six hundred miles of roa ,
the earnings of which' will, after July
1st, be consolidated with those of the
main stem of the system from Rich
mond to Ridge way.
The jurisdiction of the general offi
cers of the S. A. L. system has been ex
tended over the two systems thus
absorbed, and President Williams an
nounces several important changes
among the officers.
E. St. John becomes, vice president
and general manager of the entire
system.
The purchase of 2,000 additional
freight cars was recommended.
Should the Republic become
involved deeply in the trouble in
China the anticipated $70,000,000
surplus revenue for the current fis
cal year would be subjected to a
shrinkage process Bevere enough to
render it practically invisible.
Nations with imperial longings
accumulate debts, not surplus re
