Eureka, Cal—Forty-seven wtames from the passenger and crew list of the steamer Alaska definitely were posted today as missing. This num- ber includes seventeen known dead, representing bodies at the Eureka morgue, some of which have not been identified. When the Alaska foundered Satur- day night at Blunt reef, forty miles from here, she had aboard 132 pass- engers and carried a crew of eighty- two. Of the passengers, revised lists placed the missing or dead at thirty- five. Twelve members of the crew are dead or’missing. Seventeen oil-soaked and battered bodies of men are in the morgues of Eureka, seventy members of the crew and 101 passengers are in Eureka and Captain Hobéy of the steamer Alaska i# dead. This is the situation follow- ing one of the worst wrecks to eccur on the California coast since the steamer Columbia rammed by the San Pedro, went down some fourteen years back. Number of Survivors Injured. Of the survivors landed by the Anyox, 30 were more or less seriously injured and received medical treat- ment at the local hospitals. The Alaska struck the reef, on, in a dense fog, according to the survivors, and immediately began to list. The work of launching the life- boats was accomplished without de- lay or disorder. Three of the boats suecessfully rode the waves, but the fourth capsized, precipitating its oc- cupants into the sea. The greatest loss of life, the sur- vivors said, resulted from this mis- hap. A few who wore life-belts suc- in keeping afloat until the boats of the Anyox picked them up. engers and 70 were members of the crew. Passengers and Crew Calm. tween members of the crew and pass- engers in their stories of the scenes | following the crash of the Alaska. De- spite isolating terror of the ship be- ing enveloped in fog, as the swells dashed against it, calmness prevailed among the passengers and crew. It was a short time, ‘a scant 30 minutes, between the striking on the rock and the sinking of the vessel But without signs of disorder the pass engers were helped into the lifeboats under calm.direction of officers and crew, and were lowered into the water. Miners in Washington Await Expira- tion of Contract, Seattle, Wash.—The special conven- tion of district 10, United Mine Work- ers of America, in session here to dis- cuss the commercial coal mine strike | situation in Washington, went on rec- lord as opposing any compromise of | operators on the demand of the latter for wage reductions. The action was taken when the con | vention adopted a resolution declar- ing it to be the policy of the district organization to oppose any downward revision of wages until the expiration of the present wage contract, which miners contend is effective until next April. Most of the commercial mines of the state have been closed down since last March 15, when miners re- fused to accept a wage cut of between 23 and 24 per cent. More than 2000 miners at Roslyn the Cle Elum are still working in rail- road mines at the present scale and are not affected by the lockout. Secretaries Favor Chemical Embargo. Washington, D.
