A Long List of Crimes Placed to Its Credit. Saturday Night's Outrage the Climax of the Series. Heavy Reward* Offered for the Arrest of the Conspirators—Three Suspects In Custody—The Ship Own ers Declare War. By tho Associated Press. San Francisco, Sept. 25. —Saturday night's dynamite outrage, in which four men were killed and two more badly in jured, one fatally, was the culmination of a long series of illegal acts which have been attributed to tbe Coast Sea men's union. For several years the un ion has been waging a bitter war azainet the non-union Bailors and their employ ers and have resortod lo many acts of intimidation in other coast ports, as well ao r>aii Francisco. At this port, at va rious times, five schooners, barken tineo and barks wore cat adrift, one of them nearly goiuu ashore. The ship Tacoina and the brig Percy Edwards had their anchor chains nearly sawed through. The ship Columbia had her standing rigging* rut and her sails torn to shreds. Dynamite was placed in tho hold of the steamer liawnmore, but the clockwork which was to have ex ploded the machine did not go, and tne vessel was saved. A few months ago ti stick of dynamite was found on the cyl inder head of the. the tug Ethel and Marion, and a Pujjet Snnnd collier came into port with a stick of dynamite in her engine room. In addition to these, numerous! small bjatß were scuttled and smashed and non-union sailors beaten. No one was ever punished lor these deeds, and the men who were lighting tho non,union eailoro grow hold. TUKEROftS REWARDS OFFERED, The principal development today in the dynamite outrage of Saturday night was the increased interest manifested in the capffcre of Its authors. Ooverftor Markham offered a reward of $1000, Chief Crowley added (250 to it, and the Ship-Owners' association put np an in dependent $500, making a total of $1750. The theory ia that among scch dastardly cowards as the men capable of ench worit there mnst-toe-eome \r*ltor whom gold will bait sufficiently to back up the fear that prompts turning informer. Chief Crowley detailed half a dozen detectives today to aid Detective Egan and Sergeant Helms of the harbor police in the search for the men who planned and carried out the deed of death. The chief is driving his men with whip and spur, and that he is in deadly earnest is Bhown by tbe amount of work he is doing in pereon. THE Sllir-OWNEHS' ACTION. The directors of the Ship Owners' association held a long session during the afternoon, at which they added $500 lo the two rewardi mentioned above, and donated $50 towards the burial ex penses of Edward Murphy and James McUinnes, the two Bailors killed by the bomb. The sentitnont of tbe shipown ers, as manifested at the meeting, from which not a single director was absent, wits very strongly in favor of crushing tiie sailors' union ont of existence. President Simpson's idea that there can be no safety for life or property as long as the union hue tbe semblance of life, was concurred in by -ivery man present, and ono result of the horror of Saturday night is that now the union' will have to make a defensive light for existence instead of an offensive tight for patron age. By a special resolution it wan agreed that tho members of the Ship-owners' Association are read/ and Willing to risk ; their property and spend thoir money in exhausting every means "to end tbe reign of terror," in the language of the agreement, "so long conducted by the organization." TUB INCITING OK OUTRAGES. In the argument over the responsibil ity of the anion for past outrages, it waa decided that the association does not charge the nnion with directly inciting or inducing members to such awful deeds of bloodshed and destruction, but does charge them with stir ricg them up by speech and action in a manner calculated to make individual members take just such steps of war. There is evidence in tbe hands of the association, says Secretary Wil liams, to prove that men of bad charac ter have been paid from the union treas ury for the sole labor of beating non union sailors and sympathizers and destroying property. "The eituation is this," said Mr. Williams, "there is a great supply of sailors on this coast, and. there always will be such a supply that a strike or tie-up on lha part oi the union must neceeßarily fail. Nine-tenths of the deep-water sailor* who enter port on tbe coaet come out with the intention of leaving their ships and going into the coasting trade. The union leaders know just how anxious the men are to quit long voy aging for coasting, and this leaves them violence as a sole recourse. Their policy for years has been to beat and maltreat all non-union men, thereby driving them away again or forcing them into the union ranks." UNION BAILORS OFFER A REWARD. The Sailors' Union of the Pacific, at a meeting tonight, offered a reward of $1000 for the arrest and conviction of the parties who exploded the bomb in front of the Curtin's boarding house Saturday night. A committee was also appointed to make arrangements for a mass meet ing, to be held in Metropolitan ..ail soon, for the purpose of placing the union in a proper fight before the public by condemning the dynamite outrage. PCddOX stCWC'SIMO THK TOWSI. Tho police are scouring tha town to •tetaiu a clue to tbe identity ot tbe fiends who caused Saturday night's ex plosion. Chief Crowley says he be lieves the Coast Seaman's nnion is re sponsible for the deed, and tbat the members of the nnion knew that the explosion was to occur. Tbe chief this morning ordered the arrest of Secretary Fnreeeth of the union and he was taken into custody. Fnreeeth denies all knowledge of the crime and a vigorous pumping by the police failed to extract any information trom him. He was roleased alter being questioned by tbe police. VICTIMS OF THE EXPLOSION. John Curtin and Charles Bernard, two of tbe victims of the Saturday night ex plosion, are still alive, though there is hardly a chance for Bernard's recovery. Both his eyes were blown out and tbe drums of bis care broken. Young Cur tin ia the only one of the victims who is a*ble to tell anything of what occurred previous to the explosion, lie says he saw an old black valise in the doorway and picked it op, then he remembered bis father's warning about picking up Btrange packages, and suddenly dropped it and ran across the street, exclaiming: "It'sdynamite." Theothermen laughed at tbe idea and gathered curiously around the valiee. Suddenly there was a roar and Curtin remembered no more till ne found himself bleeding and wounded in the street. THREE SUSPECTS ARRESTED. Three men have been arrested for the crime. They are John Tyrrell, Jamea Woods and Terrence Tracy. Tyrrell and Woods are the men who threatened Mtp. Curtin a few days ago. Th6y were formerly members of the Coa6t Sea man's union, but were dropped some time ago for non-payment of dues. Tracy is a deep sea sailor and has never belonged to the union. A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE. ST. JOSEPH, MO., VISITED BY A CONFLAGKATIU.\. Some of the Beat Business Property In tUe City Destroyed—Firemen Un able to Cope With the * lumps for Lack of Water. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept, 25.—St. Joseph experienced a million-dollar conflagra tion today. The cause of the fire wsb tbe stub of n lighted cigarette thrown carelessly on the floor of a store room on the fifth floor of the big department store of Townsend, Wyatt A Emery. The fire department could have put out the fire but for the failure of the water works pumps to give pressure sufficient to force vtStei to the required height. The flames had got beyond the point where chemical apparatus might have been of use. When the fifth floor fell it became apparent that the building was doomed, and the firemen then directed their efforts to an attempt to confine tho lire to the bnilding. Handicapped by the insufficient water supply, they were unsuccessful. The T&wneend & Wyatt bnildiDg became a roaring furnace and the flames leaping a hundred feet into the air soon at tacked the Commercial bank building. Almost simultaneously the (lames jumped across the street the Carbery find Franco blocks. Then it was appar ent that the whole block was doomed, and tha fear became general that the entire business portion of the city would be swr-pt away. The roofs of the Carbery and Franne buildings wero burning when water begou to come. The depart ment stopped the progress of the fltmea north at the German-American bank-, south in the Carbery biock and west at the building occupied by Hanson, Gar ret & Brewßter, wholesale dealers. From the Wyatt, Townsond & Emery building the flames leaped to the building occupied by Kanger & Shoup, crockery dealerß, which quickly suc cumbed". Then followed the building of S. U. Allen & Co., wholesale grocers, and in quick succession a hotel and sev eral small buildings occupied by email tradesmen were consumed. It wbb o o'clock before the fire was under control. The conflagration had been underway 0 hours. AtO o'clock the fire was still burning fieicely in the hotels. The burned district is bounded by Felix and Edniond, Sixth and Seventh streets, and the south half of the block between Edmond and St. Charles, Sixth anil Seventh.' Allen Laird and Oliver Knapp, fire men, fell from a ladder into a burning building and both were badly burnt. Fire Chief Kane was badly burned and a young man named Hunter fell two Btoriea into a cellar and had two ribs broken. Calvin Wyatt was struck by flying bricks and was seriously injured. JUtURDBR WILL OUt. Sensational Arrests at Fresno for a Re cent Crime.

He Put Up a Good Fight, but It Didn't Count. The Colored Champion's Rushes Were Irresistible. Both Men Were Madly Punished—A Hoosier Sheriff Arrested Solly After the Battle for Fight ing lv Indiana. By the Asscrlatcd Press. Coney Island Athletic Club, Sept. 25.—There were a good many sporting men at Coney Island tonight, but not so numerous as the club had hoped for. There was some disappointment when it was learned that the preliminary bout between Mike Dunn and Fred Morris, who were to spar 10 rounds, would not come off owing to Dunn's illnesa, but Jim Burge took Dunn's place. Ten lively rounds were fought, and Bnrge proved himself by no means an easy mark for the black cyclone. The de cision was in favor of Morris. (leorge Dixon, Dixon and Smith weighed in six hours before the meeting, so it could not be told exactly what they scaled. It looked, however, as though Smith was a bit the lighter. Dixon was Cret in tbe ring, and was but half-heartedly applauded. Smith was well cheered. Dixon picked as his seconds George Godfrey, a Boston colored man; Jack Narline, of Boston, and Tom O'Rourke, and a man named Mike Bradley, of Lawrence, Mass., for his timer. As usual, Smith chose Billy Delanev, Cor bett's handler; his brother, Edward Smith, and Jack Oliver, with Aleck Gteggains as watch-holder. Bound one —On the call of time Smith made a rush and there was a clinch. Inside work honors were even. Dixon landed on Smith's body, while tbe latter ieU short. Dixon sent out his right on the ear and sent Smith to the floor in a clean knock-down. Smith took time in getting up and tried to get his right on the colored boy's jaw, but failed. Second round—Dixon missed a left swing. Smith was in on him like a flash, rushing Dixon to the ropes and landing right and left. Alter a short sparring bout, Smith reached Dixon's jaw with liis left. Dixon planted a left swing on Smith's neck, missing a right swing. Smith closed op him and uppor-cut him with his right. They clinched and shouldered each other. Dixon reached Smith with two right hand swings. Smith slipped to his knees and took full time to rise. The third round was full of excite ment. Smith went down lour times, twice by clean blows, twice in rushes. After the last fall the (Jalifornian came up, taking full time, with a smile on hia face. Holly Smith. Fourth round—Dixon planted blow alter blow on Smith's body and more over gained another knock down. Fifth round —Dixon gent Smith to hia knees. Smith came back with a lucky right-hander on the noae, and Dixon got a cut that made him bleed. The blow almost staggered the featherweight champion and he did no more forcing for a moment. Smith gained confidence and eailed in, but swung hia hand too high, and Dixon lived. Dixon slugged Solly in tho face three times, getting back only one good punch in the neck. Sixth round —Dixon caught another in tho nose, renewing the flow of blood. ' Smith next Biunehed Dixon iv the mouth and the colored boy rushed and missed. Hia eye waa closed aad his nose resembled v piece of raw beef. The seventh round settled things. Smith came out from his corner looking strong enough, though he had hia right eye well blacked. He planted his right and lolt on Dixon's body. Dixon missed and then planted his right on Smith's face. Sinu'i iv return landed a right hander. Dizou then floored wtth a terrific straight right. The Californian staggered to his feet, only to be floored again. Again he rose just as tbe gong eonnded, bnt he was too weak to keep his feet, and fell again near the corner. He gamely staggered once more to his feet, and, reeling like a drunken man, essayed to continue, but the referee ad vancing between, motioned him back to his corner, Dixon wasdeclared the win ner in the seventh round. The announcement gave tho time of tbe seventh round aa 2 minutes 42 sec onds ; the time of the fight was 2f> min utes and 42 seconds, the unanimous verdict was that Smith gave Dixon a good tight, bnt could not withstand the colored boy's constant rushing. While on the way to the dressing room alter the fight, the sheriff from Indiana arrested Solly Smith because of the part ho took in the fight with Johnny Griffin at Boby, Ind., a short time ago. The sheriff then sought dili gently after Johnny Griffin, but had not located him at a very late hour. More Roby Fighters Arrested. Valparaiso, Ind.. Sept. 25.—At Crown Point today O'Malley, Coetello, Woods and Siler, who were indicted by the grand jury for riotous conspiracy for participating in prize fights at Roby, appeared and were ordered under arrest by Judge Gillette.

The Silver Statesman's Scath ing Criticisms. Burning Invectives Hurled at tne Nation's Chief. Cleveland Denounced as an Uneducated Frlff and an Arrogant Vsurper of Power—The Invective to Be Continued. By the Associated Tress. Washington, Sept. 25.—The first thing in the senate today, after routine morn ing business, was consideration of Stewart's resolution, offered on Satur day, arraigning the president for at tempting to coerce congress into passing the silver repeal bill, thereby impairing the independence of the ca-ordinate branches of the government, in viola tion of the constitution and destructive of the government. The Nevada sena tor had scarcely spoken a dozen words in snppqrt of bis resolution when Man derson of Nebraska interrupted him with the point that there was no quorum. Enough senators finally strol led in to make a quorum, and Stewart proceeded. He began by referring to the recent centennial anniversary of tha laying of the foundation stone of the capitol, when, he said, the president, with more than 100,000 high paid gov ernment offices to bestow, with the veto power designed only for extraordinary occasions, backed by concentrated capi tal and a "venal press," tnrning to tbe senate winz, declared in menacing tones tbat if the representatives there assembled legislated in passion or preju dice in behalf of sectional or selfish in terests, the time when the corner stone was laid, or the circumstances surround ing it, waa not worth mentioning. This sentiment, cheered by the thoughtless multitude, was construed by the venal press as a rebuke from the president to tho guilty, venal senate. TIIE USURPATION OF POWER. Stewart then quoted from the history of England as to the parliamentary struggle with the Stuarts. Coming to the present time, he charged that the president, in disregard oi his ostb. of office, allowed the secretary of the treasury to violate the act which made the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of sil ver per month mandatory, by < exercising unlawful discretion in purchasing a smaller amount. Stewart declared tbat at no time since Charles 1., either in England or the United States, had any king or presi dent openly and defiantly disobeyed a statute which he himself had declared mandatory, or allowed his subordinates to do the same thing. Was it not time to sound an alarm? "If constitutional liberty is of any valne at all," said the senator, "we should Btand up and aay to the presi dent : ' You have overstepped the mark. We cannot afford to have the laws of congress disregarded.' " Stewart thon said the president had no exalted opinion of the senate or the house. He seemed to regard them aa appendageß of the executive. In one of his letters the president spoke of expect ing soon to have a "session of congress on his hands." That spoke volumes touching the president's opinion of the co-ordinate branches of the government. Cleveland's conceit. Stewart then read from the Cincin nati Times-Star an interview with the president in which he Raid the repeal of the silver purchasing act could not be effected this year. There was no news paper reporter, Stewart said, who would misrepresent Cleveland in the columns of his paper. They all had too much respect for tbe office to do that. The ar ticle continued: "The people are with me and my policy," said the president, "but I fear 1 shall not be able to com mand action from congress. I never saw such obstinacy as exists among tha members ot congress on the silver ques tion. It is useless to appeal to them now." The assumption of tbe president that he knew btst, said Stewart, and that those who had studied the subject all their lives were wrong, was remarkable. When such Bentimentß were uttured by the chief executive, it became perti nent to inquire where and when did he acquire all his knowledge; where and when did he have an opportunity to fa miliarize himself with the wants and needs of the American people, and with the science of money and economies; where and when did he study It and Ta what school? grover's lack of knowledge. "I believe," Baid Stewart, "that Mr. Cleveland is tbe only president who has ever presided at the White house who did not possess a liberal education, either in soma college or on a farm where he communed with nature and learned nature's laws. I believe eithei a country education among the people, or a collegiate education, is necessary. I do not believe the education of a clerk or a lawyer, without a liberal education in college or a liberal education by studying the books of nature, can fit » men to preside over the destiny of thia country. The three greatest presidents we ever had received that liberal educa tion which nature affords, by coming in contact with the people and taking a wider view of the laws of man and ol nature than can be obtained in a law office or in a sheriff's o.fice, or in the office of a mayor or any other contracted place where the great book of nature is cloaed." }fe cited Washington, Linooln and Jackson as great examples of great pres idents, as the result of liberal educa tion. Unfortunately the present presi dent was denied both a culiego educa tion and ti.at grand and better educa tion taat came from cummunion with the great producing classes of tha eoua
