NEW YORK, May 6—A fire that start ed at the river end of the Mallorv line steamship pier, at the foot of Maiden I-ane, on the East river, early this morn ing, completely destroyed the pier and its valuable contents. The police place the loss at $1,000,000. Several barjres which were moored near the pier were also destroyed and many rescues of their captains and of the mem bers of the families on board were made. One life was lost. The nine months old daughter of C!apt. Charles I»ch8, of the harge Sherwood, was drowned. The Mallory line pier was JOO fret long and fifty feet wide. The pier was filled with valuable freight, mostly cotton. On the north side of the pier w#»re moored a number of coal and cotton barges, while on the south side was the steamer San Marios and a numlter of barges. No sooner had the work of fighting the flames begun than the firemen turned their attention to saving the lives of those on the barges which were lying within the line of danger. Nearest to the pier was the barge Stephen B. Klkins. Her cap tain, Frank Fox, and his wife, his months-old daughter and a baby were on board and sleeping. A skid was quick ly run from the pier to the eoal barge, the occupants of the boat were awakened and were hurried from their bunks to a place of safety before the tlames had them. < A|>t.

Their bargo wan already on tire at the time that they were aroused from sleep. The father took the 9-months-old baby In his arms and with his wlff* Jumped Into the water. Timothy Boyle, formerly in command of the barge New Brunswick. whose home is at Rondout, N. Y.. plunged Into the water to save the woman, who had become ex hausted. Her husband, who still held the baby In his arms, saw that his wife wan on the point of going down. It became a question to him as to which he should save, hi* wife or baby. Ho therefore let the baby go, in the hope that she would be picked up by some one else, and went to ttie assistance of his wife. He managed to hold her head above water until Boyle reached lhem. All three were then landed by HAr lines. The half drowned captain and his wife were re moved to the Hudson Street hospital. They recovered. Other I, lves Rescued. On the coal barge H. H.

RAX FRANCISCO, May 6.-R Kondo. president of the Nippon Yusen Katsha. on* of the leading steamship companies of Japan, has come to this* country to make a study cf the methods of transportation by rail and water lines. He will visit the Pa cific coast centers and then go East to New York. "The building up of trade on the Pacific coast from 1H93 to 189$ justifies the predic tion," said he, "that the progress of de velopment during- the next five years will be greater than ever before. We favor an open-door j>ollcy in China, and I believe that if we can make a commercial com pact with the United States we can con trol the trade of China. We need capital for the development of our manufacturing industries. If we can get it from America we can do the rest and make large profits for both countries. Personally I do not believe that there is any danger of war with Russia." DEATH OF W. C. ENDICOTT. Ex-President Cleveland's First Sec retary of War Hies In Salem, Mass., \»red 73.

TV presidential nomination was not discussed, as being a foregone conclu sion, but when the conferee® had delved into the puzzle of the vice presidential situation. Charles A.

James It. Weaver, of lowa. and Congressman George Shlbley, of Virginia. The Re publicans were represented by Senator Pettlgrew. of South Dakota, and ei-Sen ator Fred T Dubois, of Idaho. The Democratic representatives at the conference were Vice chairman James G. Johnson, of the national committee: Dan iel .J. Carupau. of Detroit, national com mitteeman from Michigan. cal.

"I have sfren the men of the three parties present in the cltv todav hot 1 am not saying anything regarding con ferences. I am g«>ing home for a two months' rest on my farm." The Populist plan does not contemplate the nomination of Mr. Towne at the na tional convention this week, at Sioux Falls. The program of the leaders, so far as leads of the Populism can lay out the work for a convention, contemplate the nomination of Rryan. without nominat ing any one for second place. The convention, it was stated, would be asked to name a • ommTttee to attend the Democratic and Silver Republican conventions in Kansas City. This body will be empowered to ratify the nomina tion of the two parties, which are ex pected to agree on a national ticket but, in case of their failure.to put up a satis factory running mate for Mr. Hryan. it will be authorized to name a Populist can didate. The object In giving such extensive powers to a committee.. It was Intimated, was that the party might hold a club over the Democratic party to Insure the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform.
