When Nineteen Hourfl nt From Qneenr town Eire Wan Discovered In the For ward Hold, W'hlrh IIukkI for Thirty. Ix Hour Heat I'otired Out Erotn the Hold. New York (Special). The White Star liner Cymric, which ha arrived here, had a terrible experience while crossing the Atlantic. At noon on Sunday, August 5, when the big ves sel was nineteen hour out from Qiieenstown.flre was discovered among the cargo in the forward hold, nnd It: raged thirty-six hours, until midnight on Monday, when It was reported to be under control. Hold No. 1, where the fire Is believed to have originated, had been flooded for the purpose of checking the flames. The water leaked through Into other compartments aft, causing damage to the general mer chandise stored there. The boat, how ever was not seriously Injured. The loss on the enrgo wa so heavy that Agent John Lee, of the White Star Line, notified the consignees of the cargo that they would be expected to pay their pro rata share of the los. Captain Lindsay, of the Cymric, told the experience of the men on the ves sel In fighting the fire. In addition to the ordinary danger of such work, the fire could not be located, and deadly chlorine gas, which poured out of the hatches, ninde it Impossible for the men to remain long at work. The officer of Ihe vessel headed the men, nnd man after man wa lifted un conscious from the hold time and time again. The captain was carried out four times, and once It appeared as though breathing had stopped. In the hold were hogsheads if bleaching powder and soda ash. The heat and lire caused chlorine ga to generate, and this poured out at a ter rific rate. As soon as the hatch was thrown off the upper deck on Sunday, Captain Lindsay and some of the men who were Investigating the source of the fire were overcome and had to be lifted to the upper deck. Dr. W. J. Fleetwood, the ship's surgeon, wns called on. nnd he was kept busy re viving them. So many were overcome that he was compelled to summon a physician who was a passenger to his assistance. The men as they were brought out. of the hold were laid out on deck, where restorative were ap plied. Some were so far gone that ar tificial respiration was resorted to. During Sunday Chief Officer Joseph Evans, First Officer Frank Howarth, Second Officer Fletcher, Third Officer Smith, Boatswain Robert Jones and Lamp-trimmer Keating and several of the crew were lifted unconscious to the deck. At time some of the men exposed themselves to great danger to drag their comrades Into the fresh air. The fire was not declared out until Monday night, and after the men had been at work a day and a half. It wa not until the flames had been extin guished that the exact location wa de termined. Tin fire I supposed to have been caused by the spontaneous com bustion of some liny, In which a large case of earthenware wa packed. This case wa in the center of the hold,; under the lower hatxh, and surround ed on all sides by hoffsheads of bleuch lng powder nnd soda ush. t rued Them to Kill. Paris (By Cable).

ARMISTICE I rROHAIIEE. And Then Nefotlatlotm Hot ween lili.a and the I'owern. Washington (Special). Now that the primary object for which the allied nr mlo marched upon Pekin the rescue of the besieged legatloner has been accomplished, tho drift of discussion In official and diplomatic circles turns to the next step to be taken. Necessarily many of the predictions as to what this will be are purely con lectural. us It I realized that complete and definite information regarding the condition of affairs In Pekin must be awaited before any positive action can be taken by the Government whose Interests have suffered as a result of the Chinese troubles. The presumption here Is that the next move wlfl be an agreement for an armistice. This may be undertaken by the commanders of the Chinese army nnd those of the allies on the spot where the fighting, according to the latest report from Pekin, appear still to be In progress. The question of the withdrawal of the foreign armies, the payment of Indemnities aud many other problems may be left to commis sions duly appointed to adjudicate them. LI Hung Chang has .already been appointed a plenipotentiary by his Government to negotiate terms of pence, and In this capacity, It will be remembered, he made an Ineffectual at tempt to stop the progress of the nllles In their march on Pekin.' Whether LI will be continued In thai capacity by the Imperial Government Is not known here, but such seems probable, as with his well-known ability and his ac quaintance with the world he would he able to make belter terms, perhaps, than any other Chinaman. SEVEN KILLED, MANY IN.Il'llEll. A Collision on ICnllroild 1 i In Mich igan. Grand Rapids, Mich. (Special). A wreck occurred on the Grand Rapids nnd Indiana Railroad, ut Pierson, 29 miles from Grand Rapids. The northbound Northland express, which left, this city at 4.05, collided head on with passenger train No. 2, due here nt C a. m. Seven people were killed, one was fatally hurt, nnd many passengers were more or less Injured. According to the railway officials, the collision wns the fault of Operator Wells, stationed at Mill Creek, four miles north of this city. The trains usual',!' meet at Sand Lake, two miles south of Pierson. An order wa Is sued that they meet at Woodstock, four miles north of Pierson. Later, Operator Well was asked If tho ex press had passed hi station yet. He answered "No." He was then told to countermand former orders, and give order to No. 5 to meet No. 2 at Sand Lake. Similar orders were given to No. 2. Train No. 5 never got the or der, having already passed Mill Creek. They collided, therefore, while both were going at full speed. When Op erator Wells discovered hi error he tried to stop the express at Pierson, but was half a minute too late. The forward ears were telescoped. The baggage, mail nnd dining car on No. 5 saved the Pullman In the rear, and the passenger coaches In No. 2 were saved by three freight cars, which happened to be attached next the en gine. There were eleven cars on train No. 2 and ten on No. 5. Only six cars remained on the track, and the en gines were literally torn to pieces. Tho injured were brought to this city and taken to various hospitals. The dead were also brought here. The railroad detective caught several thieves at work at the scene o.' the dis n tiler. ri.KUIT OE THE MINISTERS. Eeur Entertained that They May Vet He Murdered. Washington (Special). Tho latest message received from Minister Con ger has convinced Washington that tho Chinese Government Is neither honest in Its desire. to protect the le gationers nor stable nnd strong enough to make the protection effective, oven If It were sincere. Therefore there Is a hideous fear that the Chinese will fight desperately at Tung Chow. What will happen when the Chinese troops fall back Into the city, defeated and routed by the allies; the scenes that may ensue in the foreign quarter when the infuriated mob, mingling with the troons. are Incited by the fanaticism of Prince Tunn, to attack the legations', the massacre of the ministers, in sight of their own troops, who may arrive an hour too late to save them, are nictures that very naturally sug gested themselves at the War Depart ment, and easily aecounteu lor ttie pre vailing gloom. From the roofs of their legations thu ministers can see the advancing allies. On Sunday Mr. Conger heard the guns of the American artillery, nnd Sunday night ho could see the lights in the American camp.
