SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS, CONFIRMING JAP VICTORIES Details of the March of the Invading Army in China, EMPEROR FRPARING TO LEAVE PEKING Wil Retire with His Court to the Interior of His Empire—Russian Troops May Guarantee the Ruler rotection. YOKOHAMA, Nov. 11.—Advices from the armies commanded by Field Marshal Count Oyama, now operating on the Liaotung peninsula, confirm the reports of Japanese victories at Chin-Chiu (Kinchau) and Ta- Henwan, On the morning of Tues last one brigade of the Japanese forces cap- tured Chin-Chiu, and on the mnext day Tallenwan was bombarded and also cap- tured, A dispatch dated Tallenwan, November 9, trom Admiral lto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese navy, says the squadron left Chiosansetsuto on November 6 and on the morning of the 7th wus near Talienwan. No firing was heard from the forts, and the squadron steamed Into the bay, when the Japanese flag was seen flying from the forts, the guns of which were dismounted. An officer landed and found only some Japanese guards, who informed him the commander of the brigade had returned to Chin-Chiu. The details of the capture of the place were obtained and a steamer was dispatched immediately to telegraph the news of the victory. HIROSHIMA, Japan, Nov. 11.—The of- ficlal dispatches of Field Marshal Oyama stated that the Chinese forces at Kinchau numbered 1,000 infantry and 100 cavalry, and at Talienwan 3,000 infantry and 180 cavalry. The Chinese made little resist- ance at either place. They retreated towards Port Arthur. The Japanese lost only ten men in capturing both pla The Chincse losses were also slight. LONDON, Nov. 11.—A dispatch from Tien-Tsin, dated Tuesday and coming by way of Shanghal, says the emperor and his court are preparing to leave Peking for Singjanfu (Tsing-Kiang-Pu), in the province of Kiang-Su, about 125 miles northwest of Shanghaf. It is stated 70,000 Russian troops are concentrating at Viadivostock. LONDON, Nov. 11.—A dispatch from Tokio seys that the Japanese have infested Port Arthur and that the two outermost forts on the land side have been captured. A dispatch from Shanghal says it is reported there that the emperor 18 suffering with fever and is confined to his bed. LONDON, Nov. 12.—The correspondent of the Times at Cheefoo, under date of yester- day, telegraphs as follows: Taotikung, with several military leaders, abandoned Port Arlhurl;‘ November 6. This indicates an intentioh # #urrender. There was an ample defending force both at Talienwan and Port Arthur, but no general direction of affairs Chaos prevailed everywhere. The French and American admirals are here, A panic prevails at New Chang. Military deserters and refugees are fighting for passages on outgoing steamers. CLEVELANDL A5 A MEDIATOR. Froposition of the United States to Secure Peace in the Orient. TOKIO, Nov. 11.—United States Minister Dunn has communicated to the ministry the substance of an important cipher cable proposition received from Secretary Gresham at Washington. It suggests that if Japan will foin in requesting the president of the United States to act as mediator in settling the war he will exercise his good offices in that capacity. A similar proposition has been ent to China, The cable was recelved by Minister Dusn on Friday, and was pre- sented at a special meeting on Friday. An answer has not been sent. The proposition presents a grave question to the ministry. They are urged on one hand to continue the war and crush China. On the other Euro- pean powers are threatening to intervene. As between these conflicting influences tie ministry find great difficulty in reaching a decision on the American proposition, but the prospect is that it will be accepted. It 19 Jearned that four days ago France made a proposition to the United States to inter- vene. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—It Is the beliet here that China will readily accept the medlation of the United States and that Japan. will do so after she is assured of proper indemnity from China. 1t 18 not. likely Japan will accept the media- tion unless $100,000,000 is offered. This will about represent what Japan has actually tpent on the war. This is roughly figuréd as follows: Japan had a reserve fund of $25,000,- 000 on hand when the war began. This has been spent. Then she negotiated a war loan of 50,000,000 yen (a yen being about equal to our dollar). This makes $75,000,000 act- ually used in the war, Besides this, Japanese citizens have contributed large sums, and the government has Incurred other obliga- tions, The cable dispatch disclosure from Toklo that France made a proposition to the Upited States four days ago adds a new feature to the question here. It has been sald that Buropean powers were urging forcis ble intervention, and this has been largely instrumental in’ Inducing the United States to suggest medlation without force. It is un- derstocd that the French proposition has been rejected. The situation therefore presents an Interesting game of international diplomacy. On the one hand the powers of Europe are threatening to foreibly come between China and Japan, while, on the other hand, the United States offers to come between them as # pencemaker. As between the two proposi tions it Is not doubted that the two powers Wil look to the United States. LONDON, Nov. 12—The correspondent of the Chronicle at Rome telegraphs that he has been assured that Italy has told the powers they ought to allow the Japanese to occupy Peking before there is any mediation between the combatants.

Durnova, miakster of the interior, aud a wost brilllant assemblage of military officers. Czar Nich- | olas and the grand dukes bore the cofin to the hearse. In the mcantime cannon were | booming from (he Kremlin fortress. At 11 o'clock the procession started for the cathedral of St. Michacl the Archangel. ‘The cortege was of immensc length. In it {mperial standards were borne by high func- tlonarier, each of them followed by one of the dead czar's saddle horses, General ofi- cers carried he czur's armorial bearings, slate swords and insisula and decorations. Then followed a iong array of clergy bear- ing smblems and Images, deputations, cor- porations and (rade sacieties. The funeral car was drawn by elght horses and there was & guard of henor composed of eighty “daly, The cords of the pall, which bed been replaced, were held by generals.

LONDON, Nov. 11.—The continental de- { mand for gold reduced the Bank of England's bullion during the week by £1,000,000. As a result rates hardened somewhat. Business at the Stock exchange continued moderate, but the tone was decidedly better. The political prospects were less menancing and with the possibility of a settlement of the Japanese-Chinese w prices may be ex- pected to advance after the settlement. The liabilities of the Baring guaranty have been reduced £500,000 by the sale of Uruguayan and other bonds, The result of the American elections, it is expected, will give greater stability to Ameri- can finances. Home railway securities were heavy. ~ The market for foreign securities was without feature. Mining securities con- tinued to boom. F bought extensively of South African ventures. American railroad securities were firm, but there was nothing like the advance that oc- rred after the democratic victory in the United States two years ago. The advent of Mr. Little’s report concerning Atchison af- fairs hangs heavily over operators. The mar- ket closed specially firm yesterday. The week's advances were: Milwaukee & Den- ver preferred, each 3 per cent; Lake Shore and Louisville & Nashville, each 21 per cent; Erie 2ds and lllinois Central, each 2 per cent; Northern Pacific and Unjon Pacifie, ch 1% per cent; Denver & Rio Grande, Norfolk & Western, each 114 per cent; Cen- tral Pacific and Mexican Pacific, each 114 per cent, and Erie, New York Central, Missourl Pacific and Wabash incomes, each 1 per cent. The others made fractional advances. THREE THOUSAND MASSACRED, Report from Constantinople of a Terrible Affair in Turkish Armenia.

Twenty-five villages were destroyed. The Turkish officials declare the report is un- true and that it grew out of the suppres- sion of a smell rising in the region in ques tion. The British ambassador Is making in- quiries into the matter. Extent of a Havre Failure.

BOSTON, Nov. 11.—The program for the twenty-first annual convention of the national Woman's Christian Temperance union, to be held at Cleveland, beginning Friday, Novem- ber 16, was given out tonight. This con- vention will assume the nature of a his- torle anniversary. The origin, growth and entire history of the national Woman's Chris- tian Temperance union will be reviewed, and many of the most prominent workers of this and other countries will be present The convention will fast six days, including Sunday, November 18, on which day the anuiversary sermon will be preached by President J. W. Bashford, D. D., of Ohio Wesleyan university. An interesting feature of the convention will be a_testimonial to General Neal Dow and an address by him. Among the noted workers and friends of the cause who are expected to be present are Mrs, E. J. Thomp- son, leader of the first crusade band; Mother Stewart, the world-wide crusader; Lady Henry Somerset, president of the British Christian Temperance union; Susan B. An- thony, Mrs. Jeannette, late president of the India Woman's Christian Temperance union; Mme. Layah Bakarat, Syria; Mme. Chika Sakurla, Japan; Mlsses F. J. Solomon, A. P. Ferguson and Anna McCummings, Capetown, South Africa; General Neal Dow, J. W. Baer, secretary Christian Endeavor society; John G. Waoley, Colonel S. W. Bain, Anthony Comstock and Alice Stone Blackwell, editor Women's Journal The following letter from Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell to Miss Frances Willard will be read at the Women's Christian Temper- ance union convention My Dear Miss Willard: You ask me to advise the women of the Women's Christian Temperance union how they can best help the working people, and I am very glad give my views on the matter, for I b an make them: '3 as stron, good in this directia as the; have in their own especial field, but to ac- complish this they must themselves desire justice in the relaticns between the em- ployers and employes and must create a public opinion which will demand it In this country, with rare exceptions is seldem found in these rel mes and places it is the | tions which are dictatorial, while th ployers cringe and relinquish all their rights to maintain peace, but more fre. quently the employers are arbitrary and tyrannical, serting loudly that they in- tend to manage their own business as the cheose and will not be Interfered with b, the workingmen. Here 1s the weak point—there will never be justice between employers and employes, consquently there will never be a lasting peace until the employers recognize the claim of the employes to a volce in the settlement of questions relating to miking the hours and conditions of labor. It can scarcely be expected that American citizens hi n born and bred with the in- ts of free men will submit ely to tem which places their welfare entirel in the hands of others. This suggestion that the employes have a right to a veice in what i called their empolyers' business will be new to many and will at first appear to be unreasonable, but the more it is con- sidered the more just it will show itsel® to be, and it will finally be acknowledged to be true For the last twenty or thirty years in many large Industries in England all questions have been settled without strike or lockout by “Joint heards,” “boards of consolation” “or "“‘arbitration boards, on which the assoclations of employers and employes have been represented by dele gates duly chosen and empowered to legis- late for their constituents, and n these boards the employers and employ have always had an equal representation. In our country, also, and in elgium, boards are known, and have met ith equal success, but thé practice of justice with us has been neither so long nor so widely extended as in England, and strangely enough employer here, instead of instictively recognizing this as the only solution of the dificulties of the “laber question,” assume a tone of ar- bitrary ownership and proclaim their right to issue orders which must be obeyed T believe it Is by the study of this of the labor question and the advocscy of consolation as & means of preventing dis putes and of arbitration as a means of set- ‘"“lf them that the members of the Wo. men's Christlan Temperance union can best help the working people.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The World will say tomorrow: Charles Wiltrid Mowbray, | the English anarchist-socialist who came to this country last summer and landed under an assumed name without the knowledge of the commissioner of immigration, re- turned here secretly from England on Satur- day. WIith him is his son and namesake. They came in the. steerage of the Cam- pania. They assumed the name of Gurry. They satistactorily answered the questions of the immigration inspector and were per- mitted to come to this city. The Scotland yard detectives were hot after Mowbray and his son when they left England. The younger Mowbray, it seems, enlisted in the army only to spread the doctrines of an- archist-soclalism. He was stationed at Ply- mouth, when the detectives in some way let him know he was under their surveillance, and he deserted and sailed with his father on 4he Campania. The latter spoke to a gathering of anarch- ists at the Thalia theater on the Bowery today—the anniversary of the hanging of the Chicago anarchists. The anarchists turned out in full force today to welcome him. When he stepped on the stage of the theater Mowbray said: ‘“Well, here 1 am back again, back to stay in spite of Su- perintendent Byrnes and the immigration commissioner.” He congratulated the anarchists of America on behalf of the anarchists of England, and spoke warmly of the hangings In Chicago. Atter the meeting Mowbray sald he did not anticipate much trouble from the police. He has arranged to speak at a number of meet- Ings in this and other principal eastern cities, EXERCISES AT CHICAGO. CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—West Twelfth street Turner hall was crowded this afternoon with soclalists who gathered to attend the com- memoration exercises of the anniversary of the hanging of the anarchists. The meeting was held under the auspices of the socialistic labor party of Chicago. The stage was decorated with flags and red bunting and a life-size portrait of August Sples, heavily draped with red bunting, was suspended from the stage. The meeting was called to order by Barnard Berlyn, He sald: ““We are not here to commemo- rate the tragedy which occurred several years ago today, but to express our views and also to express our sympathy for the de- parted.” He said the meeting was the first which had been held since the hanging of the anar- chists which was composed entirely of so- cialists, with not a mingling of anarchists, Je:se Cox was the next speaker. During the course of his remarks he said It was not the purpose of the soclalists of Chicago and the world to gain thelr point by force, but it was their object to gain a strong foothold by hav- ing a complete organization, and then to win out by ballots and not dynamite. T. J. Morgan was loudly applauded when he appeared to make his address, “I am not an anarchi:t,” he commenced, “but I am a_soclalist, and still we are here to pay tribute to those men that the respectable citl- ons of Chicago murdered. I have walted ever since the hanging of our friends to at- tend a meeting of soclalists freed from anar- chists, and at last it has materlalized.” Mr. Morgan dwelt at great length upon organization of socialists. He said that without organization the socialist party could never gain its point. Julius Valteyp spoke in German. He sald that the time would come when the hanging of the anarchists would be avenged. hey were not hanged,” he said, “‘because they dared to express their opinions, but because they were encmies to capitalists,” Mr. Valteyp did not believe that dynamite would win the cause which the socialists of the vorld were aiming for, but appealed to his Learers to put their implicit confidence in the ballot box. Twelve hundred people were present at Waldheim cemetery today to celebrate the deaths of the six anarchists executed for par- ticipating in the Haymarket riot. Herr Most's presence had the effect of keeping away the more conservative of the socialists Grief and PFielding were the only old-timers there. R. Steiner of the Pioneer Ald and Support association, under whose auspices the celebration was held, presided. T. P. Quinn of New York made a short speech, during which he sald the occasion was being cele- brated all over the world. When Herr Most was introduced he was received with cheers and cries of approval. Among other things Herr Most sald: *“We meet at the foot of this monument to hold bigh the banner In whose shadow those who rest here fought, and to which they remained true unto death, and in unfurling the red flag at this grave we proclaim to all the world the gospel of poverty and misery which ‘Our Rive' understood so well, and for which they iiad to die. ~ We did not meet here—and outnum- bered hosts of workingmen of all countries are with us here in spirit—to declare we will remain solitary with the murdered men—that we feel bound to continue the work begun by them until it is crowned with success, until victory is obtained. Most continued at length, reviewing the labor troubles leading up to the Haymarket massacre, denouncing capitalists, the police and existing institutions generally, He con- demned the trial of the anarchists as a “farce never before equalled” and dwelt minutely on the imprisonment, the last mo- ments and execution of the men. He praised Governor Altgeld for pardoning those who were sent to prison and denounced Judge Gary for his part in the trial. In closing he called upon his hearers to emulate those whose death they were commemorating. When he concluded the members sang and the crowd dispersed. Then the anarchist monument was decorated with green wreaths and floral designs. WRECKED ON THE WAY HOME Hundreds of women, men and children who were passengers on the special train of ten cars on the Chicago & Northern Pacific railroad enroute for Waldheim cemetery this afternoon to attend the services - experienced a very narrow escape from serious Injury and probable death by the derailing of the engine and one coach. The only persons who recelved Injury were Patrick Lahey, the engineer in charge of the engine, and Walter Charlton, the fireman, who were slightly bruised about the arms and body. The engine left the track at Craw- ford street, ran into an opem switch and was followed by the foremost coach. The pas- sengers throughout the train weres thrown from thelr seats, and a scene of wild con- fusion followed. The stopping of the train, however, put a stop to the panic. Others slightly injured were: Philipa Haltman, cut about head and hiands. Lon Crescher, right arm and shoulder bruised. - H. Wietzer, cut on head. et BEFUSED TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY Old Casslus Clay's Marrlage to a Chila Postponed. LEXINGTON, Nov. g ve received from Richmoad, Ky., tonight says General Cassius M.

D., Nav, 11.—(Special.)— The case of Samucl W. Alldrton, the Chicago millionaire banker, against the Highland Min- ing company of the Black Hills, came up in the United States court here yesterday. Allerton sues for five-thirty-seconds of an interest in ‘‘Homestake No. 2" mine, valued at $2,343,760, and $50,000 for the wrongful withholding of the sald property from him since 1871. The plaintiffs asked for a con- | tinuance of the case, on the ground that one of his most important witnesses was in Montana_and out of the jurisdiction of thls court. Ex-United States Senator Moody, for the defendant, protested against the post- | ponement of the case, on the ground that the company's witnesses were en route to this city, and a postponement would make a large and unnecessary expense. Judge Ed- gerton sald that, inasmuch a& there was such a large amount of money involved, a hasty trial might prove disastrous, and the case was continued until next term, but the expense fncurred by the defendant at this time must be borne by the plaintiff. The following sentences were passed: G. L. Lampson, Ole Peterson and Louis Leemire, sixty days in jail and $100 fine for each, for selling whisky without a government license. James B. Frink pleaded guilty to an in- dictment for cutting timber on government land, and will be sentenced tomorrow. Feckatnb e WILL TRY NOVEL SCHEME. Subject Fxecuted in the Eleetrical Chair to He Resuscitated if Possible. ALBANY, Nov. 11.—Governor Flower is willing to allows experts to make a test to ascertain whether a man killed in the elec- trical chair can be resuscitated. Ever since the adoption of the electrical execution act by the state the Westinghouse people, whose dynamos are used, have declared electricity was not the cause of death, but that death was ured by the holding of an autop:y directly after the body had been taken from the electrical chair. ~ Noless an authority than Nicola Tecla, the famous electrician, contended that he could bring back to life man killed in an electrical chair, provided the attempt was made immediately after exe cution. George Westinghouse has always serted (hat electrical death was a sham and that & New York committed, headed by Blbridge T. Gerry, had Wded the autopsy clause to the law to make. it certain that the man was dead. Within the last few wecks the agitation of the subject has become promsnent-and an ap- peal is to be made to the governor to allow the next man condemned to be used as a sub- ject to be experimented on. The governor says he will grant permission to do this. It successful, the experiment will bring to life 4 new man who cannot be executed, having once suffered the penalty of death, It will alto prove that the state executioners have been' the surgeons who have held the autopsy rather than the state electrielan. HAD THE JURY 9RIXED." Sensational Charges in Comuection with the Trlal of Southern Lynchers. MEMPHIS, Nov. 11.—There have been fur- ther sensational discoveries Awith regard to the efforts to “fix" the jury’in the {rlaf of W. S. Richardson and H. N.*Smith, charged with the sextuple lyaching near Millington, and tomorrow Prosceuting Attorney Patter- son will ask the court to discharge the eleven men that have been secured after a week's laborlous exantination of 600 talesmen. The attorney ‘general wiil present to the court an‘affidavit to the effect that mearly all these 600 persons summoned fo: jury sorvice haye been selected from among the known friends of the accus:d, and one juryman, it will be shown by affidavit, asserted:that he would not convict a white man for killing a negro. The attorney general will also move the court ta relieve Sheriff MoCarver from duty during the progress of ‘this case. This is because of the manner in which the sheriff has summoned the jurymen and the manner in which he has treated the prisoners. The attorney has learncd that since the incar- ceration both Smith and Richardson have been taken surreptitiously-by the sheriff to the Kerrville neighborhood o more than cne occasion. Butch McCarver, spn of the sher- iff, is prosecuting witness in- the case and has eonstantly been in communication with the accused, who, while in gail, have been allowed extraordinary liberties. A e SOUTHERN Flames In Acknnsas and Tennessee Have Spent Thelr Fudy, MEMPHIS, Nov. 11.—The forest fires in Arkansas and Tennessee, north of Memphis, have about spent their fury. The flames have burned to the banks of the Mississippi river. The damage repofted today was small, being confined to’ the destruction of a few fences around plantations on the Ar- kansas side of the ’river. There are still no slgns of rain and appre- hensions are felt that fires will break out in other “regions. The St. Francis basin is as dry as a chip and lumbermen fear that if the fires should get a start in that section the losses would bo heavy. The smoke is disappearing frem the city and river trafic is unimpeded. The story sent out from Memphis by a | special correspondent that several lives have been lost in the forest fires near this city is untrue. In Arkanses the damage to prop- erty is much smaller than the first reports ed. CHOCTAW TROUBLES SETTLED. Temporarily Arcaiged by « Peaco Council of Influontial Men. SOUTH M'ALESTER, I.

WILSON EXPLAINS THE DEFEAT, Suys It Was Due to the ndustrial Depres- #lon and Not Democratic Misrale. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—In a letter to the Press from Washington, Hon. W. L. Wilson gives his views on the cause of the demo- cratic defeat.

The rapid adoption of the great instruments of modern industry and trade, the complete revolution which these are bringing about in_production and distribution, their steady obliteration of im- memorial handicrafts, their dislocation of many industries—all this, together with the unsettled relations between labor and capi- tal, have swept us into an era whe-e for some years it may be increasingly difficult for any one party to hold on to the federal government for any long time. “I do not believe the people have rebuked or discarded tariff reform in their action last Tuesday. In every compaign since 1886, ex- cept that of 18, the democratic party has won a deeided victory on that issue. To con tend, therefore, that the people have now chastised the democratic party for what they put it into their power to do, is to question their honesty and intell gence. If they have Inflicted chastisement because of its dealing with the tariff, it has been rather becaus the party did not carry out with suflicient promptness and theorougltess the work they committed to it.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1l.-James Foley, 43 years old, awaiting trlal for the murder of his aged mother, whom he kicked to death while drunk, hanged himself today in hie cell at Moyamensing. The rope was made of his bed clothes, and when found re-, he was dead, and in the late election from 120,000 to 126, 000, In the face of the fact that about 20,000 of our voters had left the state on account of the drouth. We failed in the election of leers because we were not palred with the democrats, but we have every reason to feel encouraged for the future. In the country at large 1 feel confident that when the re= turns are footed up they will show our total vote to be little less than 2,000,000, which s about twice the populist vote of two years a Asked if he believed Governor Tillman would co-operate with the populists if he should be elected to the senate, Mr. Peffer replied hie could not say, as Governor Till- man had never outlined his finteations in that respect. He called attention to the fact that Mr. Irby, who supposedly shares the political views of Mr. Tillman, had remained in the democratic ranks, “Still," he added, “the time must soon come when all democrats believing as Till- man and Irby do must ally themselves openly with the populist party. The eastern democrats are, to all intents and purposes, republicans and democrats of the Tillman Irby stripe cannot remain in the same party anization with them.” he senator declined to discuss the ques tion of the probable organization of the sen- ate after the dth of March by the repub- with the aid of such populists like who had affiliated with the repub- lican party before they became populists, further than to say the time was too far distant to speculate upon, and in a general way to remark that if the time should come when the populists should hold the balat power in the senate he had no doubt “they would exercise that power continuously and wisely.” SENATOR STEWART'S AMBITION. Senator Stewart of Nevada was less guarded than Senator Peffer in speaking of the as- sumption that certain of the populist senators would aid the republicans in the organization )L the senate. He says emphatically that far as he is concerned he will enter into 0o coalition with either of the old parties to secure (he organization, “I don’t care,” he said, “which of the old partics controls the machinery of the senate, There is no advantage to us to be gained by a combination with elther the republicans gr the Cleveland democrats. We do not care for the few paltry offices there are bestowed and could not afford to sacrifice our Inde- pendent interests as a party for them, So far as I am concerned, personally, I do not vare whether they put me on any committes or what they do with me as long as I am entitled to my seat In the senate and ean get. into the chamber. In fact I can raise more hell when entirely free from such obligations than when bound by them.” The senator says he thinks the populists will be able to exercise a more potent in= fluence by keeping entirely aloof from en- tangling alliances with either of the old parties, and it is his opinion that this is the policy which will be pursued by the third party in the senate and he will advise that this policy be pursued. He thinks there is no doubt that when the test comes Sena= tor Jones will be found acting fn full har- mony with the populist senators, and that if jovernor Tillman should be chosen to suc~ cced Senator Butler he will also be found in the populist column, as will also the two senators to be chosen from North Carolina. This would give the populists elght senators as against forty-two republicans and thirty~ it democrats after the 4th of March The only ground,” he sald in conclusion, “‘on which T <hould be willing to unite with the republicans would be on a platform pledg- ing that party to a free silver policy. I do not want any half way measure, such as the coinage of the American product, as I should know that whatever was promised would be nothing buta trap. 1 do not propose to be caught with anything less than a compliance with our complete demands.” i WENT DOWN IN A FOG. Suilors of the Crown of England Detall the Manner in Which the Bost Was Lost. SANTA MONICA, Cal., ov. 11.—The first mate and five sailors from the steamer Crown of England landed this morning in a dense fog. They brought the first news of the wreck of their steamer, which og- curred at 2 o'clock Wednesday orning. The boat was under command of Captain Hamilton, and left San Diego in ballast for aniamo, B. C., at 7 o'clock Tuesday morn- The fog at the time was so dense the pilot advised Captain Hamilton not to go. The fog continued all day and night, Without warning the boat struck on the reet in (wo fathoms of water. There s some question whether it was off the Santa Rosa island or one of the Anacapns, which are small, rocky and uninhabited, south of Santa Cruz island. The mate und five sails rs then started for the mainland in a boat, leaving the remainder of the crew on the island. The steamer was supposed to be on the outside passage. The fir:t mate was in charge when the disaster occurred, The Crown of England is English built and owned under lease by Rosenfield of Sam Francisco. She carried 8,600 tons of coal and has been in (he coast trade for some months, having recently made this point twice. ' The boat was running at half speed at the time she struck.
