FIKE IN COMMUNIPAW.
Several Blocks of Factories, Shops and
Stables Burn.
NEW YORK, August 31.?A lucky shift
of wind and the strenuous efforts of the
firemen on land and bay prevented a bad"
fire which raged for two hours along the
water front of Communipaw early last
night from doing serious damage to shipping.
l he lire started, nobody seems to know
how. in the structural Iron works of the
Snare & Triest Company, which runs along
the Gap. Before the firemen could fget
their hose stretched it had spread by quick
leaps north along the Gap to Miller's machine
shops, where it jumped to Essex
street, to the sirup factory of Hysaerp &
Buffe. The sirup factory is a four-story
brick building and went quickly. The sirup
made a fine blaze, which lighted up the
bay and brought the fireboat New Yorker
hurrying to the scene.
The wind was blowing strong from the
north at that time and the fire apparently
was ereftini? hevond the control of the .Ter
sey City firemen. It looked as though the
entire water front might go until the New
Yorker began throwing her powerful
streams of water and the almost simultaneous
shifting of the wind.
The fire ran north, when the wind
changed, taking in the factories of Thomas
McLaughlin find William J. Barry, on
Greene and Essex stretts. then spread to
the stables of the Uvalde Asphalt Company.
where fresh fuel was supplied to the
fire by great quantities of tar.
It burned itself out when it had completed
a circuit of the blocks bounded by
Hudson. Essex and Greene streets and the
Morris canal basin. The New Yorker kept
the fire from spreading any further and
also saved the PolisJi settlement on Essex
street, which was threatened.
There was some excitement among the
Polaeks when the police ordered them to
move out of their quarters, and it was not
until the firemen aided the police that they
were able to drive them to a safer place.
The damage was estimated by Insurance
men at about $200,000.

MACHINE-MADE POETS

MANUFACTURE THEM.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, 111., August 31.?Schools for
ant^AM 1 r? wK4nh thftflfl InrJlnfiA toward
literature as a profession mar become
real poets or novelists. Is the new proposal
of Walter Hlnes Page, editor of
"The World's Work." He believes that colleges
should add to their departments postgraduate
courses in the art of writing to
stem the tide of poor composition. Make
the students white 1,000 words a day and
insist on the professor doing likewise, Mr.
Page advises.
The professors need the training as badly
as the embryo llterateurs, be believes. Let
the students keep up the dally toil for. three
or four years, by which time they will
have written from twelve to sixteen volumes,
and then if they are good admit
them to the profession.
Mr. Page's views were expressed at the
University of Chicago in the convocation
address of the sixty-fourth graduating exercises
of the institution.
He attacked l~th the present-day writer
and the university, especially the professional
novelists. Writing, he pointed out,
has come to be one of the regular professions.
ranking closely behind the law,
medicine and teaching. Therefore, like
cue pnj-sician ana lawyer, tne writer snouia
be trained in all the arts and crafts of
composition, and for this purpose the colleges
of the country ahould institute special
schools of writing.
Some of Mr. Page's proposals for developing
authors were as follows:
Poet students to write a sonnet a day
for a term.
Prose students to write 1,000 words a
day.
Professors to exercise their Imagination
In similar degree.
One professor to every six or eight students.
Students mu3t have an A. B. or equivalent
degree.
Professors must be practical writers and
not mere students.
<T*n * . tKlo " onM Vf T- Dam
lngr haa been a harum-scarutn, rough-and-tumble
business, with lots of superstition
and little training- or experience. But we
must follow the example of the other
crafts. Let us have professional postgraduate
schools to teach men and women
how to write."

ARCHBISHOP WILLIAMS DEAD.
Ag edNew ngland Prelate Pases Away
Boston.
BOSTON, August 31.?Archbishop John J.
Williams of the Catholic Church and for a
generation or more the spiritual head of
that faith in New Kngland, died yesterday
at the archiepiscopal residence in Union
I'ark street. The archbishop was so weak
yesterday forenoon that it was deemed advisable
to prepare for the worst and the
last sacraments of the church were administered
by the Rev. Dr. John T. Mullen,
the rector of the cathedral.
The archbishop's illnesu began about the
first of this month, while he was at Lake
Hemlock, near Rochester, N. Y.t at the
summer home of Bishop MeQuade of that
diocese. Archbishop Williams was eightyfive
years old.
Arcnoisiiop John Joseph Williams was
born in Boston, April 27, 1822. He became
a student at the parochial school until he
entered the College of Montreal, where he
was graduated In 1841, after which he
went through a course of theology at St.
Sulpice. Paris, France. In 1845 he was ordained
to the priesthood and became an assistant.
In ISTm he was made rector of the Boston
Cathedral, and served In that position for
two years, when he became the pastor of
St. James' Church, Boston. In 1S06 he became
the bishop of Boston, and served in
that capacity until Boston was made a
metropolitan see, when he became archbishop
on the death of Archbishop Fitzpatrick.
Under the administration of Archbishop
Williams the see grew until it was subi
Ari'hhiahnn YV,IH?m =
i fused a degree from Harvard. The greatest
monument to his memory will be the magnificent
cathedral of the Holy Cross in
Boston. The first sod was turned on tho
bishop's forty-fourth birthday. April 27,
IStSO, and a year and a half later the corner
stone was laid. The cathedral is now finished,
with the exception of the spires, and
It is sufficient proof of the energy and executive
ability of Archbishop Williams
that, though th^ building is valued at $N!>4,000.
the debt at present on the church Is
only about $21.(*00. The valuation of the
cathedral and other church property in the
vicinity excecus *>x,uuu,u<.hj.
MEAT LOCKOUT CONTINUES.
Teamsters Make Another Effort to Go
Back to Work.
NEW YORK, August 31.?Another offer
made on behalf of the striking meat wagon
drivers to have the strike arbitrated was
refused yesterday by the Wholesale Butchers
Employers' Association, through Its
president, w. n. xvoyes. Mr. Noyes received
a communication, signed by five officers
of the Teamsters' T'nion, suggesting
that the committee confer with liim with a
view to settling the strike. He sent a reply
to the effect that the association was
of the opinion that there was nothing on
which their former employes could base a
claim to arbitration or consideration.
Instead of twenty mounted policemen
being detailed to the East Side and the
same number to the West Side, as has been
the case hitherto, fifty mounted police
were detailed to the East Side and fifty to
the West Side yesterday. This was because
there will be extra deliveries to the
dealers to enable them to supply their Sunday
customers. The extra guard will be
kept up today.
The strikers met late yesterday afternoon
and passed a resolution to keep up the

Chapultepec. whom some consider dangerous
today, on that occasion was unplaced,
carrying 127 pounds. But to say that Jim
Gaffney has made sufficient improvement

being palpably not up to his best, and In
the later one tie was only a head behind
Restlgouche at practically even weights,
though both were unplaced to Jim Gaffney,
Fair Play and Bar None. On this occasion
the winner was in receipt of ten
pounds from Fair Play, whose performance
shouKJ mark him as dangerous.
Chapultepec's Late Form Poor.
On neither of his races at Saratoga can
Chapultepec be regarded as having a
rhanrp- to hpat CY?lin vpf n.t Kriarhton
Beach, on Juiy 27, he brought the Keene
champion to the whip, though this occurred
after the Commando colt had In the first
half mile raced successively against. Smoier
and Question Mark.
Beaucoup early In the year, on a heavy
track, ran Colin to/a head at Belmont
Park, but had eight pounds less on his
back, and Colin at that time was still carr<
ing that unsightly .growth which at times
affected even his walk as he was led
flround thft r>n_rir!r*r*lr That pirn?spflncfl has
now practically disappeared and Coiin does
not show any hitch in his action.
When he met Uncle at Saratoga in the
Special men who had seen him run all his
races were amazed to observe the stout
pull Colin was under as he ran head and
head with his opponent along the backstretch
and around th? far turn. This was
Ho. Whllo
tha pull was greatly relaxed at five furlongs,
still Colin was that day able to win
by much more than the length which separated
him from his rival. This, too,
deptte the fact that Mr. Keene's colt had
been regularly treated for a cough. The
fact that he was ridden under a pull
showed that his owner and trainer had
some fear for his stamina, due to illness.
If he was the Colin of the Brighton Junior
he would have goDe right away from Uncle
and It would have been a case of "catch
mo If you can."
No Excuses Today for Colin.
Now, then, this unbeaten colt starts today
with no excuses. "He will win in a
walk I" exclaimed % man last night who
knows every phase of the great colt's
career. Such confidence Is rare, but that
It la not too sanguine Is shown by the state
of the odds, for though an odds-on-favorlte
for the Futurity Is not a new thing, as Sysonby
and Wild Mint were at odds-on in
1SXH, ;m a rule the market is far more
liberal.
But the unbeaten record of Colin, who
has won seven raies since May 29. when
he made his first appearance, naturally has
made him a public idol, and hence the
??.?vc fAr tWjt Kr Qor>ontlno' hu short
odds.
Colin has won races on heavy tracks, and
was scratched out o* one valuable engigement
at the June meeting, at Sheepshejid
Bay, only because of the bad, uncertain
footing. A small field will minimize the
great disadvantage which Sysonby labortd
under when he drew the outside position for
the Futurity, and more than one good Judge
thinks that contributed in no small degree
to his defeat.
If Colin should todav draiw an outside
position, that would place him not more
than fifty feet at the utmost from the inner
rail, and that would not injure his chances.
-M-illo. TTao rVionoo of TTio T.ifo
Walter Miller, who has won ao many
raees this year on Mr. Keene's and other
horses, has today the chance of his life
to ride a Futurity winner and set the seal
of popularity on nis fame. It will be his
first Futurity, should he win.
Because of the sm;'.ll field the other starters
should be well ridden, though on account
of certain 'lealorable circumstances
which have occurred during the season the
work of several Jockeys of skill has come
in for much criticism. Much of this may
be due to hot-blooded critics, bad losers perhaps,
though no doubt some of the riders
have deserved part of the blame so freely
put upon them. When the Jockey Club
has the time the all important question of
how to improve aqd maintain the standard
of ^ockeyship shouid engage their attention.
Track Is Fast.
The weather early today is cool and clear,
and, as It promises to continue so through^
will throng the course of the Coney Island
Jockey Club at Sheepshead Bay to witness
the event. Prince Wllhelm of Sweden is an
expected guest and If he goes to the course
will divide Interest with the thoroughbreds.
The track officials reported the track in
11 n A f J at this mnritini)
ami, considering the class of horsi-s in the
race, said they would not be surprised If
records were broken.

PROVIDENCE. August 31? A dreary,
cold rain marred the last day's racing at
Narragansett Park yesterday. The program
was featureless, though some good
driving and extra heats kept the crowd of
1,5<>0 interested. In the last event of the
day Snow's gelding, Ethan Roberts, broke
almost at the very start and ran away, all
but breaking his neck in hla mad rush
once and a half around the track. Henry
a., jr.."took the first race of the day with
very little trouble, though pushed somewhat
by Composor.
The second race went four heat* Judge
"Wilson, the favorite, fought gamely for
first money, but bad to give way to superior
speed and better driving. In this race the
fight between Judex, who had the speed,
and Wilson Addington, driven by Cox, was
not decided till the last heat, when Cox
outpointed hl3 rival.

FOUGHT TEN SPEEDY
ROUNDS TO A DRAW
BALTIMORE, Md., August 31.?Tommy
XjOwe or wasmngion ana n.aaie carter 01
Philadelphia made a hurricane battle for
ten rounds before the New Arena Athletic
Club at the Germania. Maeiwierchor Hall
last night. It was the opening of longdistance
fighting in Baltimore, and Carter
and Lowe furnished a battle that
created enthusiasm. Lowe and Carter were
to have gone for fifteen rounds to a decision,
but the limit of the mill was cut
down because of the small attendance.
Ten rounds were agreed upon by the principals,
who furnished one of the fastest
mills in this locality in a long time. They
went the limit, and the battle at the end
was declared a draw by Fred Swigert, who
refereed. It was a good decision and satfafar?trvrv
trt Pflrtpr who hnsi makinc
a good Impression In this city. He fought
a game battle and one for which he deserves
credit. He looked as though outclassed
during the early rounds of the mill,
but he came back strong in the latter
stages and fought Lowe to a standstill.
After the sixth round Carter went at
Lowe with both hands, and from then until
the finish Lowe was in a worried state.
Carter had the better of the slugging, for
Lowe in this style was far from being at
home. In the ninth round Carter seemed
to have Lowe in a bad state, for he
planted several rights that started the
claret flowing from the Washington boy's
eye. i>owe raiuea in me iasi rnunu, oui
this was not sufficient to overcome the
lead that Carter had obtained in the previous
rounds of the battle. A draw with
Lowe was more than creditable to Carter,
when it was considered that Lowe
did not lose a battle during the entire last
season. The boys looked evenly matched
and their style of boxing was the same.

The plans call fell' links of eighteen holes,
but the engineer department has devoted
its entire attention to the first nine holes,
and will not begin upon the other half for
a month or so. The entire course will not
be ready far public use before next spring.
Commissioner West is an enthusiastic and
skillful golfer; said he has visited the course
a number of times during its construction,
and he considers it to be one of the best in
the District. He believes It will prove to be
very popular. The general topography and
the scenery, he said, make the locality
an ideal one for golfing. The hazards (most
of which are natural) are "great." He ex
as excellent and "sporty."
The course begins a short distance south
of the reservoir and a few feet west ot

Rock creek and 16th street, across
the Military road a short distance north
of Milk House ford, crossing, also, the private
