OFFICERS OF THE SHIP.
The oiTKers of the siilp are .lam?n A. WttdOP, cap?
tain; F. It Wallaee, first mate, nnd I?. C. Sweeney,
second mate. Thero were fifty-four men in the
crew. Captain Wilder haa been in command of the
LeOBM several years. He said yesterday that It
?.saw aol ; lealWe to save the lives of anybody In
the ateerage when he reached tho deck after the
alarm of fl.e was avvera. He B>eclered that his men
liad perforiaeO* b? rol ? work In aavli g tha al ha from

l'erhaps the Origin of the fire may never he
?known. Charlea llallory said yesterday that he
COUld not p? t Information io Justify any oonclu*
n ??! as to the cause of the outbreak. Captain
Wilder relieved tho lire miiiht have Leen caused
r by Spontaneous combustion unioni; ?omo jute
bagnine or by the accidental Ignition of matches,
of which Hc-re were five cases In the cargo. Mr.
Wallace, the first mate, who discovered the fire.
eaid he are! saw the flames In a room separated by
a partition from the one In which the matches were
stored. Coroner Hoeber, after questioning a nutn
' persons, expressed the opinion that the
n;atche? might have started the Are. The matches
wore shipped In five cases and were stned with
?ome jute bagging nnd Sewing machines in tiie for
Ward compartment of the main deck, close to the
wooden bulkhead which ro-e from the main deck
to the spar deck. Just aft of the ateerage compan?

LITTLE LIGHT OX THK CAUgJB.
The story of the Are, as gleaned yesterday from
tha accounts of officers nr.d passengers, does not
throw much Unlit on the origin of the flames. When
the Leoni was ma hing her way tn the South on
Saturday night there was no thought of danger.
? Most of the paeoeilgtira were asleep before mid?
night. Half an hour after midnight Captain Wilder
received reports from ?ho watchmen that every?
thing was all rl?<ht, and he also turned In. Mr.
Walla???, who was then In charg?* of the ship, be?
gan t ) make his rounds. When he went down to
the steerage be pui'.-ll-il smoke, .lust aft of tho
room for women BteSCrigQ passengers was a long
room, which had been used form? rly for gteerage
paaaengera, but the berths t.ad been taken ou: and
fiom?- eargo had been feteeed there. Mr. Wallace
added later that he opened the si;.ling door of that
room and BOW a blaze Insule. No match?? were
Stored there, he Mid. .Mr. Maliory and Captain
Wilder Bald yesterday thai Mr. Wallace prohehty
Battant that be opened a sliding door on the op?
posite s.di of the passage, and looked through tho
bulkhead into the coeapartmeni where the match??.??
and otlur parts o? the cargo had been stored. The
smoke rusiini oui and almost suffocated ihe first
mate. He ran through the passage to the ateerage
rooms and shouted "i-'ir, :?? ?men b? ?arttnt ur> ?a
ibck ar.d ?.'ave the alarm there. II?? called Captain
Wilder immediately.
The alarm ?.f fir?? aproad quJcklj In the steerage,
but ?he amok? filled the place go rapidly that there

AWAKENED HIS FAMILY.
J. Vlaolkok, who escaped with his wife and two
sons from the steerage, li a Bohemian. To an in- ;
terpiVtee he said yesterday that he awakened all
th? member? of his family and ?started with tiVm
to go to th,. ,)..,.};. .v.t the foot of th?? ladder his
?laughter turned to look for one of her brothers,
She round Mm and pushed him up the ladder nnd
men feh back, overcome by the smoke.
Another passenger said lie saw Cedrane, tho I
Italian, trying to get ais sister and her daughter ?
out of tire steerage, but all three were lost.
When rap?,.?in Wilder appeared mi dc.-k in re-?
spots.? to the alarm of lire he saw that prompt
worn must I.,? done to nave the ship. He bad th"
lines of nose run forward and manned and th??
pumps sei noi kin?;, 'ihe llame? BOM began to

the Wind drove tile smoke and llames back toward j
the ?.tern. Captain Wilder had the course of tin??
ship changed so as to get th?? wind blowing toward '
tin? ?,,?? As lin? ship swung about the alarm;
spread to the Btokers, and eighteen of them, nil
Spaniards, rushed to the deck und tried to lower u
lifeboat
"Qel sway from that boat, you hounds!" yelled j
Mr. Wallace
The stok.is did not obey the order, and Chief,
Engineer Taylor drew a r. volver and threatened:
? shoot them. Then they obeyed. Mr Wallace
caught on.? of them by the nek and hurled him ?
to the companion? av. with the command: ?'llet |
back to the Rreroom. Then th?? ,tokers went back j
to work, cowed into obedience. Captain Wilder
had the Hf,.boats made ready, but th.? passengers !
w.re behaving well while the pumps wero forcin?* ;
streams of water upon tin? flames, nnd the boats
w< re not lowered. Signa bi were sent up, but for
two or threo hours there Was no Other ship In
Bight, The main hatch was opened, and tho sail?
ors threw into the sea much of th.? c.irgo forward j
of it while tin? streams of water were kept gointr.
just before daybreak the steamship city of au- I
gusta, of the Savannah Line, hove In sight and I
drew near enough to stand by and sent boats to
the Leona. The passengers wen? transferred from
tho Leona, while the officers nnd crew remained ?
to fight ?he lire. About two hours later the flames
wer?? under control, and then tho Leone's pas?
sengers wi re sent back to her. Captain Wilder
headed tho ?hip back to New-York, and she got In,
as told In The Tribuno jestcrday, a little before

After the bodies were removed from the T,cona |

WILL DRIVE CAPITAL AWAY,
WHY THE INHERITANCE TAX BILL IS
OPPOSED.
POLITICIANS WONPBRINO ?G THE OOVERNOn WILL
GIVE HIS APPROVAL TO CONTROLLER
R0RERT3 .-? ?G1?7?? TO BOOM BBS?
SEI-F KOR THE OOVERNOKHIIIP.
Shrewd politicians who see In the Infieritane??
Tux hill a scherno of 8tale Controller Roberts to
give fresh impetus to his Governorship boom do
not believe that it will receive the ?anetlon of Gov?
ern ir Rlnck. Rumora from Albany, thought to be
well authenticated, Indicato thst, while the Gov?
ernor may not care to veto the measure, he may, In
deference to public sentiment and unquestioned
public policy, allow the bill to fall by neglecting to
attach his signature to It. If the Governor hns
reached this conclusion, he will And himself abun?
dantly sustained.
Controller Fitch, of this city. Is one of the men
well Qualified to ?peak of the probable effect of tads
bill upon tho prosperity of the State, especially
thut of New-York ?'Ity. "Considerably more than
one-half of all Inheritance taxes collected In tho
State," he ?ays, "have, ?Ince \9.%, b?-en collect' 1
here In ?w-York by my predecessors ami myself.
Speaking, therefor?, with such authority as mav
attend this practical experience In the collection of
the inheritance tax, I have no hesitation In declar?
ing my Belief that, as a revenue-prodiicln?; meas?
ure, this bill would provo a failure.
"Heretofore the Inheritance tax has been success?
fully collected, because the rate of taxation hns not
been consldere?l oppressive or ?o high as to Indu????
wealthy citisene to relinquish their residence In this
State.
"if, hosreeer, the rate were raised to such a degree
a? Is proposed, It would simply mean that the pos?
sessors of wealth would acquire their residences in
other States, while continuing to do business In
New-York. This would not be a ?lllllcult matter
nnd WOOM Involve no particular hardship. It Is an
experience with which the Tax Commissioners if
thla city nre practically familiar-a?, for example,
In tho case of George ??oiild, who left this city for
Lakeirood, M. J."
Mayor Strani? declared when the tax was Arsi
proposed hy the State Controller that It would
prove destructive of the best Interests both of the
State and city, because It? effect would be to drive
capital away.
President Parker of the Tax Department, who Is
an acknowledge! expert on all subjects relating to
taxation, ?aid:
"The proposed tax If Imposed will be found to
brina- results exactly contrary to the expectations
of Its projector?. Instead of addine; tn the revenues
of the State ?t will rut them down by driving our
wealthiest citizens to find a domicile elsewhere.
Other State? will benefit from cur Inhospitable
treatment.*1
The correctness of these opinions as to the dis?
position of wealthy men, (rSpectelly those of ad?
vanced years, to resist this cumulative tax on their
property when it pusses to their children Is found
In th?? f?, t thai within the last fortnight at least
a 1I07.1 p New-Yorker? have avowed thetr intentions
to est?bil?.1? legal resld. nre? outside of this State
if the 1 ?:i should become a law.
A man who is prominent In the charitable, social
ind educational world, and who some years ago
retired from business, said last night in discussing
the matter:
l don'l 'it?.? ??? rush Into public print with my
grievance, 1 am not alone In the matter, hut am
?Imply one of scores or hundreds, 1 am weil able
to d??'. tul myself, ami will In in.? own way, If this
i ?G? li?- -oine- a Uta n mai eaa In? longer afford to
live or to ill.? in New-York. The lawmakers forgot
th?? limitations of the State of *Vew?Tork in tram*
Ing su?-li a i.i!'. They forget it is only a little way
to Rhode Island, 10 Conn?ctlcul or other neighbor?
In?? Htat-r and they hatre no auch law? there, t
persoti:? II;.? would prefer to liv?. In New-York. Her??
1 ha?.?? my Mentis and my Miti?? charities, and mv
odd amusement? thai keep me buey, now that I
am retired from buslnesa Hut I have another
house just as comfortable a? this. 1 could within
two or Hiri? hour? by a tel'?rani change my resi?
dene??. I don'l wan! to do II. 1 could live at tin?
Other place for one-half, perhaps one-quarter, as
much, out I ani content here. I will ??av. however,
thai if this bill heoom?- a law 1 win change my
r?sidence, They ean'l '?-frisiate for th?? whole coun?
?ry In New-York State. If they could it would be
a different matter, but there ?? an escape, and I
warrant that hundreds will mak?? use of it.
It was ?earned yesterday from an excellent
authority that in th?? event of th?? bin becoming ??
law certain members of the Vanderblli family
would at one? abandon New-Tork as a legal resi?
dence. Cornelius Ysilderbtlt has a handsome
bouse at Newport, where he spend? enough lime
each year t<> establish his claim for a legal resi?
dence. William K. and Frederick w Vanderblli
also have Newport houses. Qeorge W. Vander?
blli has a place at Biltmore, N. ?'., and nasses
about nine months of the year there. H McKay
Twombly has a country home at Madison. N. j".
Which he can give as his legal residence William
D, glean?! and John Sloan? have housee at Lenox.
Other wealthy men ar?? also meditatine I like
move, it 1* anown that John Ja tob Astor has
expre?sed a determination to acknowledge N'ewport
aa Ills lega! home should this bill become ,1 law.
I>. Willis Jame.? I? another who I? known ?o have
considered the advisability of changing hla Itami
headquarters, John s. Kennedy 11a3 spoken
agalnat ? he bill, and would doubtless change his
legal residence to Bat Harbor, where h.? has a
country home.
A prominent member of a Legislature In .1 State
adjoining thi" came to a well-known opponent of
th? bill yesterday, and said quietly: "If your
Governor slrns that bill, our Legislature will b??
celled together in extraordinary session at once
and WO will pass a law making It *asy for men of
wealth and Influence to come and "live In our
Stau? "
The OPPpO-dttOn to the Inheritance tux is great In
financial circle?. Bankers, brokers and capitalists
Who were talked with yesterday ?aid the tax was
calculated to work great Injury to the financial in?
terests of the State and the city of New-York
Present taxes wer?? onerous enough without add?
ing to them. There was no fairness In taxing a
person In life and then taxing him again because
f?e was Unfortunate fnnush to die. The Governor,
it was unanimously dec'ared. should write his dis?
approval of the measure. If the bill were to be
made ,1 law. It would undoubtedly drive many large
taxpayers out of the State. The taxpayers might
go to adja'-ent States, where they would not be
treated unreasonably ?Imply because they had ac?
cumulated means. They could do business In New
York Just the same.

day. He leaves two sons, one of whom is the treas?
urer of the savings bank at Matteawan and the
other Is conne?ted with tho Matteawan Manufact?

An Interesting story Is told about Mr Van Vllet
and a Mr. Miller, who was a inserii friend of his
since his boyhood. Mr. KlllCff was b?tti at Dutches?
Junction, and lived for many years ;,t Matteawan.
Long ago Miller sold that his grtmteal trlata trtta f>

that In? would ?G??? content If h?? lived only a day
longer than his friend. Ills wish, however, was BOI
realised, as he died at his home in Brooklyn a week
ago Ht the age of ninety-four. There was only a
difference of about four months In the age? of the
two men
Mr Van Vllet was apparently in hi? usual health
until a few hours before he died. Wh?n be was
