He tried to reach jtbe engineer's quarters to awaken Scott, but was headed off by the flames and had to leave the chief engineer to his fate. Dr. Heifer, the health officer of Hobo ken, says all the men of the British queen with the exception of Scott have been accounted for. Besides Hussey, four longshoremen were taken to St. Mary's hospital and are now under treatment. All were more or less burn ed. Some of the longshoremen who sav ed themselves by swimming ashore say they saw twenty or thirty men leap Into the river. Although some of those who jumped Into the water were picked up by tugs, it is feared that a number sank before they could be reached by the rescuers. Many of the longshoremen are single men and have no relatives who could report them in the event of their being missing. The British Queen has been beached off Communipaw. Superintendent Mason of the Phoenix line said that it would be impossible to defnitely state the loss by the fire in less than two weeks. He was asked if he thought $1,250,000 would cover it and he replied he did not think It would. The British queen was worth $800,000 and there was a great quantity of valu able merchandise on that vessel, on the pier and on the lighters, which were destroyed. This includes cotton, hides, oils, grains and a quantity of harvest machinery. There was a rumor today that the fire was of incendiary origin, but Mr. Mason said he was positive that there was no truth in it. He said he thought the blaze started in a quantity of Bei-r gian wicker baskets on the Phoenix pier and this was confirmed by Charles Christiansen, who said the flames seemed to burst from the pile of wicker baskets that had been unloaded from the British Queen on Monday. He said the fire spread in an incredibly short time over the outer end of the pier. The British Queen was soon ablaze and the men on board had to leap into ti river to save their lives. Those seriously hurt in the fire are John Jensen, who jumped from the burning pier an! struck his head against a beam, and Peter Carroll, badly burned. The Chinamen who fled from the steamship lleatlibuin when that vessel was endangered by the flames and who were captured by the United States custom officers, were re turned to their ship today. The China men were arrested in order to prevent a possible violation of the Chinese exclu sion act. Chief Engineer Scott, who it was supposed ierished In the fire, walked into the Hoboken hotel today. He was badly burned about the face and said he had had a dreadful experience.

The report that the Seaboard Air Line will secure an entrance into AshevUle is a rumor which has occurred with more or less persistency for five years.

Com missioner of Pensions Evans was shown a dispatch from Birming ham to the effect that a special from Chattanooga stated that close personal friends of his there claim to have information that President Roosevelt will make him the secretary of interi or. There is absolutely no founda tion for the report," said Mr. Ev ans, "and I would be glad to have the Associated Press deny it." 4 NEW DESIGNS IN HATS SHOWN TO-DAY The millinery opening at Sumner & Co.'s attracted numbers of shopeprs to the elaborately trimmed millinery de partment where handsome and dainty hats were displayed in abundance. The department was decorated in pink and green draped along shelves and counters, and a profusion of flow ers that massed the edges of mirrors and display tables. Black and white singly and in combi nation continue to be popular millinery, and the popularity la even more pro nounced than last season. In colors, pink is a general favorite, with green a close second. One of the popular new shades is nacre, an odd, attractive, castor. Capchons in jet and pearl are among the newest ornaments for millinery. Cut steel, so popular a season ago. Is passe. Among the striking hats shown is a soft straw in Napoleon shape, trimmed in a handsome black French lace scarf and crushed white roses. The roses are massed under one side, with the scarf draped over the brim and luuttted at the back, with ends. A black straw, a low flat turban, is faced in crushed pink roses. Black lace is draped, falling softly over the flowers and caught at the back with a Jaunty bow of black liberty satin rib bon. As is usual, picture hats are in vogue but all are decidedly lower over the forehead. Foliage and flowers are both very much used in the spring trimming. Miss. A. W. Howell of New York is head milliner for the firm this season. Cost of the Breese Trials ! It is estimated that the cost of the ' Breese trials. Including the last one iher, will be $50,000.

Washington, r. C. March 19. Democrat continue to express strong dis approval of the proposed Investigation into southern restrictions on suffrage and the party in Congress is solldifyln g as It has not done for years. The plan now Is to hold a caucus shortly before Ihe resolution appointing the .:n vestlgatlng cemmittee la introduced in the House and determine the party policy. Northern Democrats are not so disturbed over the matter as their southern brethrej, but they, too, deprecate a possible revival of sectional feeling. Bryan, is considered to have made a great mistake In stating that the investigation would do no harm and southern Democrats express a good deal of Indignation against him. Senator Bailey has come out against the proposition and so has Dockery of Missouri. ' HOWLAND. ANOTHER GIFT TO HIGH SCHOOL This One is a Fine Floral Col lection From Dr. R. F. Campbell The city high school is the recipient of another gift from a generous friend. Dr. R. F. Campbell has offered to the school a fine collection of pressed and mounted specimens of plant life, which he has gathered. There are about 150 or 160 specimens in the collection, which is intended by the donor to be a nucleus for a large collection to be made by students of the school. The fine flora to be found In western North Carolina will admit of an excel lent collection being made, and in a year or two the school may have a col lection of a thousand or more speci mens. Tr riimnhll will nresent the botan ical collection, in the high school hall at an early date, possibly this week, with a talk to the students . All inter ested will be invited to attend. The date of presentation will be announced later. KING TAKES SNUFF. London, March 18. King Ed ward has set the custom of snuff taking, which as a result, prom ises to be generally revived.

CecU Rhodes Is slightly weaker today. The exceptional coldness of the weather and the free administration of oxygen has contribu ted to the patient's passing a quiet night. He no longer reads. Rhodes Is much pleased at the receipt of mes sages of sympathy sent him by King Ei ward and Queen Alexandra.

This time it is on acount of materials. Brick has run short and it will perhaps be several days before an additional supply Is gotten in. The brick being used in the work comes from Fletcher. Unless the work is resumed within a few days the chances are that the building will not be completed by the time set for its completion by the con tractors. It was expected that the building would be ready for occupancy by Sep tember. Captain Wagner of the court house commission thinks that the de lay in the work will be only of short duration. "The work will probably be resumed within the next few days," he said this morning to a Citizen reporter. "The original plan will be carried out to the letter. All contracts have been made and satisfactory results are be ing obtained." Captain Wagner says that the brick work will be exceedingly artistic and is of the very best finish. Colonel Allan Davidson Colonel Allan Davidson, the father of ex-Attorney General Davidson was a caller at The Citizen office today. Though in his 82d year, he is still quite strong physically and in the full pos session of all his mental faculties. Colonel Davidson was one of the ear ly settlers of this western country, and was in the days of active practice one of the most noted lawyers of the state, also he was a member of the Confed erate Congress possibly the only one now living in this state. Though be has many interesting recollections . of those stirring times, as well as stories of the early settlement of this country, he by no means lives in the past. On the contrary, he is very much alive to present day movements. Is a close read er of the newspapers and has decided views as to public men and policies. His friends throughout the state will rejoice to hear of his good health. HIGHER SOUTHERN DIVIDEND.

J. Har kins, jr., son of Collector H. S. Harkins, has been tendered the appointment of city attorney of Weatherford, Oklahoma. Mr. Harkins left AshevUle about ten months ago for the west to practice law and settled in Weatherford. MR. HOWELL'SVhRSATILITY IN "DAVID HARUM" Tae rendition of "David Harum" given last evening at Ralston hall by Augustus F. Howell gave his hearers an hour's entertainment that in qual ity is not often surpassed here. Mr. Howell's manner of impersonat ing is excellent. His enunciation Is good and his admirable control of fa cial expression and clever way of hand ling his subject makes him an unusu ally capable and interesting imperson ator. v The reading was given in three parts with brief intermissions. Part one in cluded the recital of David's "hoss trade with Deacon Perkins" to his sister. Part two brought out the real merit of Mr. Howell's gifts of impersona tion for he took the widely different characters of Mrs. Callum, John Lenox, David Harum, both as a boy at the circus and as the banker dealing with Mrs. Callum's mortgage. He moved his audience from laughter to tears, and from tears to laughter. Part three included the laughable ex perience of David at Newport.

The explanation of it, Mr. Holton says, is on account of a marked change in pQblic sentiment in regard to the moonshiner and that the people are beginning to look upon him in his natural light. Also another rea son of the decrease of moonshining is the thorough execution of the law. "The moonshiner," says Mr. Holton, is responsible for 90 per cent of all crimes brought before the courts in Kiis county. These cases may be traced indirectly to illicit distillery dealings. We have tried in the United States court to execute the law and punish the leaders and other parties connected with these violators. - "AshevUle is the great blockade sec tion of this district. When I first came here about five years ago, there were 600 moonshining cases on the docket; now there are but 200. When Mr. Glenn was solicitor four years before there were more than 1200 moonshining cases on the docket." Smoke the celebrated Ksss of tne Wave cigar at Blomberg's cigar store. Union made.

Mr. Campbell reports that the exposi tion is in good running order, but the attendance is exceedingly small. The exhibits, he says, are especially good. though rather forlorn-looking under the circumstances. The circumstances were, said Mr. Campbell, that he went through some of the largest buildings and didn't see a single person. It is ex pected that a large number will be in attendance at the exposition, tomorrow (South Carolina Day.' Peach trees and strawberries are in bloom in eastern North Carolina, Mr. Campbell says, and trucking conditions seem very favorable. At Wilmington Mr. Campbell was elected a director of the Hyde Park company, a large lumber company working about 100,000 acres of land in the eastern part of the State.
