One of the most important events that ever oceurred in the history of American naval Progress took place today at the Navy Depart- ment in the form of a conference between rep- resentatives of tho government and the lead- ing ship builders and steel manufacturers of the country in regard = to the ways and means to be adopted in the future for the better and quicker advancement of the work now in hand and the improvement of gencral methods of work. It has been appar- entfor some time that there has not been as much progress made in the building of the new navy asthere should have been, delays of months frequently occurring that had no ap- parent necessity, and in various ways it was indicated that what was needed was a more thorough understanding be- tween the three factors interested—the gov- ernment, the builders, the material men—a more generally homogenous union of these elements so as to produce the best results possible. This condition of affairs was brought to the attention of the Secretary during the summer, and after several consultations with tho officers on duty in the departmont he decided to call representatives of the ship builders and the steel makers to a deliberative and advisory confer- ence in order to detect the difficulty aud to provide a remedy, ‘he 7th instant was origi- nally set for the conference, but this was changed to the 16th (today) on account of the absence of the Secretary. THE OPENING SESSION, The meeting was held in the room occupied by the board on construction, near the Secre- tary’s office, being called to order a short time before 11 o'clock. It was presided over by an official representative of the Secre- tary, and was attended by the following geutic- men: Representing the government—Chief Constructor Wilson, with Naval Constructors Hichborn, Mintonye, Bowles, Nixon and Tay- lor, Engineer - in - Chief Melville Capt. Sicard = and —_Lieut. Curtis, Palmer, jr., & Company, New York. Repro- senting the steel firms—Messrs, Davenport & Jacques, the Bethlehem Iron Works; F. bethle- hen of the steel board.

T. Malster, Columbian Iron Works, Baltimore; Harrison Loring of Boston and Mr. Palmer of the N.¥..

Milligan of New York, for Denham, Carrigan and Hay- den Company, San Francisco, and Mr. Hill of Continental lron Works, New York. AN EXPERIENCE MEETING. As the discussion progressed it became evi- dent that there was to be an “experience meet- ing,” and that the government would be called upon to sit in judgment between the ship builders and the stcel men, the former complaining of the delay caused by the latter. Specches were made at the morning session by Messrs. Scott, Palmer, Malster, Cramp, Du- bosque and Hyde. Each gave instances of the slow delivery of stecl and some suggested rem- edies that will be considered later. Mr. Palmer said that forged steel should be substituted for cast steel, as being less liable to faults. At 12:30 a recess of an hour was taken, The proceedings were taken down in sbort- hand by Messrs. Austin and Shea of the oiice of the Secretary for future reference, Interior Department Changes.

Lewis Leland, proprictor of the Ocean Hotel at Long Branch, who has been visiting his cousin, Warren Leland, jr., in this city, was tbe first to discover the fire. He was going from the office at 12:45 o'clock this morni ng when he noticed a light through the cracks in the door opening into the stairway which led to the kitchen and store room above, Opening the door, he saw that the upper end of the stair- way was in flames, and he quickly closed the coor und ran back into the office, call- ing to Night Clerks Porter B. Jones and John Lridgeman to give an slarm. Mr. Bridgeman rang the elecirie alarm that rings a bell in every room of the house, and Mr. Jones seut an alarm of fire to the tole- phone office. In the-meantime Lewis Leland and the elevator boy, Henry Roocher, had run up stairs and dashed through the ‘hails, calling to the guests to get out of their rooms. Clerk Bridgeman joined in giving the alarm through the halis and Clerk Jones kept at work on the fire alarm. In less than e minute, bew- ever, the entire northwest corner of the build- ing was afire and all efforts of the hotel em- ployes to check the progress of the flames wore unavailing. STIFLED BY THE SMOKER Even before a majority of the guosts wore awako tho light shaft in the center of the build- ing was burning, and there being no opening at the top the only draught was the windows of the rooms opening into the well. The flames licked up the window sashes, and gaining headway into four rooms on each oor at the same time the fire swept through the en- tire building. Scores of guests who had been awakened by the crackling of the flames or the ringing of the electric bells rushed out of their rooms into the halls only to tind them full of smoke.

Quig- ley of the night watch had responded to alarm of fire with about twenty-five men, who did excellent service in rescuing guests. In less than ten minutes after the alarm bad been given the rescuers were driven from the inside of the building, and the only means of assistance was from the outside.
