The survivors had a terrible ex- perience and only five or six are left out of a boatload. The telephone dispatch states that thirteen were lost. The boat was capsized several times in rough weather Thursday morning and each time several persons lost their lives. The sur- vivors are now on the road to Eureka and thelr names cannot be learned until they arrive. The citizens' committeo has ar- ranged for a patrol system covering forty- five miles of the coast both north and south”of Bureka, so that should any sur- v;vnrl come ashore they will be taken care of. previously., The second boat was smashed by striking a heavy object in the water, but all the passengers were rescued by an- other life raft We had about sixty-five first and second class passengers on board and 160 souls all told. “We had no knowledge of the approach of the vessel striking us, the weather being 80 thick it was not seen until we had struck. It was very dark at the time and the uncertain light interfered to a great ex- tent with the rescue of the p Captain Goes Down with “I remalned on board assisting them in every way possible. I went down with the ship. After I had been down I don’t know how long, the social hall, deck broke off and I floated to the surface with it. Sight- Ing a life raft, I began swimming and suc- cceded in reaching it after a hard struggle and was pulled on beard by the three occu- pants. We floated about nearly all day and early in the evening were picked up a few miles to the north” of the wreck by the steamer Dispatch, which was proceeding to Seattle. “When Walla Walla went down I was struck by a heavy spur and badly bruised. This, with the exposure, left me in a very weakened condition. In fact we were all more or less played out when Captain John- son took us aboard Dispatch. “From the information I have concerning the rescue of the passengers and crew I am not able to state how large the death list will be, but in my opinion it will not be less than twenty, and possibly may reach forty or fifty. A number were injured by the falling timbers. It s almost certaln a number of the steerage passengers perished In this manner. The housing to the for- ward plit into matchwood. Among the Company Makes Statement. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.—At 6 p. m. the reports of the Pacific Steamship company stated that their last advices from the company's agent in Eureka accounted for who were on Walla Walla, twenty-seven missing. There are still one boat and two life rafts miss- Ing and some hopes are entertained that possibly the majority of those unaccounted for may have been on these and have been picked up at sea. PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 3.—Shippiog men here belleve that the vessel which was In collision with the steamer Willa Walla neat Mandocino s the four-masted French bark Europe. Europe left here December 11 for Queenstown with a cargo of wheat. Under ordinary weather conditions Europe would have been further on its journey, but for several weeks the weather has been rough and it Is probable, shipping men say, that Europe was the vessel In collislon. It carried a crew of thirty men. Statement of Master, EUREKA, Jan. 3—Captaln A. L. Hall, master of the wrecked steamship, glves a graphic account of the diseaster. He says. “We left S8an Francisco Wednesday, bound for Victoria and Puget Sound. The weather thickened as the night advanced, and Thurs- day morning a heavy fog, accompanied by & light rain, set in. About 4:10 a. m. I was suddenly awakened by an awful crash on the port side, well forward. Second Officer Luke was on watch at the time. The hous- ing, especially In the vicinity of my cabin, was badly shattered, the maln force of the collislon striking it just forward of my stateroom. My bunk was struck and thrown across the room onto my table. After the crash the vessel, which I think was a French bark, judging from the language used by the sallors, rebounded and groped alongside. I called to it to stand by. It drifted away and was lost to view. I could not tell how badly it was Injured, but I do not lmagine it was severely hurt, as it struck us bow-on, and though its forward rigging might have been broken, It is not Ukely its bull suffered materially, Boat Fills Immediately.

While not very rough, the sea was nasty and choppy and the continual wash over the rafts were a hardship, es- pecially to_the women, many of whom were nearly In the last stages of exhaustion when picked up by Dispatch.” Plok Up tfew Vietims BUREKA, Cal, Jan. 3.—Captain Victor Johnson of the steamer Dispatch, which rescued a majority of the shipwrecked pas- sengers, gave the following acount of the rescu “About 8 a. m. Thursday my attention was called to a small boat, which was manned by three men and coming toward us. Owing to the fog, we did not know of its presence until it was right alongside of us. As the boat approached the men halled us. This was the first Information we had of the wreck. The spokesman of the party informed me that Walla Walla had been sunk by an unknown vessel off the Mendocino coast. The party proved to be three “fishermen from the wrecked vessel. We took them aboard and lay to the remainder of jhe day. Several boats and rafts were pifked up at different in- tervals; the last about“4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Some of them were quite badly played out, especially those on the life rafts, “There was a nasty sea running and this condition continually interfered with the comfort of the passengers, fo such an ex- tont that some were entirely exhausted when picked up. Of the passengers res- cued. several were Injured. One man had his leg fammed, while two were cut about the head and shoulders. Captain Hall was injured by a spar as the vessel went down. Soveral of the women were more dead than allve when taken aboard and it was with difficulty that they were restored.” Women Are Courageous, Two women Captaln Johnson gave much credit for thelr calmness. According to the captain, the women wero far more nervy than the men and gave valuable as- sistance in caring for the survivors as each raft was picked up. In most instances It was with great difficulty that the sur- vivors were gotten aboard, owlng to the hoavy sea running. The captain and the crew of Dispatch gave every attention to the wants of the passengers, and in many instances their wardrobes were entirely depleted. While many of the passengers had ample time to robe themselves after the alarm had been glven, many fafled to do so, and as a re- sult not w few were but illy clad, while those more fortunate were drenched to the skin Captain F. W, Stream of Tacoma relates his experience as follows: “About 4:15 a. m. I was Awakened by a heavy crash, and 1 found the deck strewn ' with rubbish and broken timber. 1 came | | | back to the stateroom, where my mother and wife were. 1 took them to the saloon and soon after placed them on board the liteboat No. 1. Despernte Strugate for Life, “The boat was lowered before it was tull. 1 climbed over and slid into it. We pulled away from the wreck and remained for some time outside. In twenty minutes Walla Walla's lights went out and we could see nothing more. As we left the boat was going down rapidly forward. Be. fore we were very far away we could have stepped from its deck Into the water. We pulled slowly for Mendocino light, with a heavy sea and a wind In our face. We rowed hard all that day, but could gain but little heudway with a strong wind and a choppy sea. ““About 6 p. m. we became thirsty and hungry and resorted to the hardtack in the boat. No one drank the water. Hunger became £o great that one orange was di- vided among fourteen. We were at one time from a half to three-quarters of a mile off Ranger, but it failed to sight us, and we continued our progress toward Mendocino lights, hoping to reach that place before dark. As the heavy sea re- tarded our progress, we were compelled to lay in the open ocean all night, but for- tunately the sea was moderately calm and we passed the night without any accident, About daybreak we once more started for shore and had a hard fight with the break- ers. A woman's red shawl was used as a distress fidg. It was hoisted from a pole and about 10:85 p. m. it was sighted by the tug Ranger, which came out after a bark. As soon as it sighted us it left the bark and came to our assistance and picked us up and brought us in." Family Face Death Together, S, Willlamson, a tartender on Walla Walla, was one of the last to leave the wreck. He states that the colliding bark was 80 near that he could have jumped on board it at that time. The passengers were hastily getting Into lifeboats until the deck was pretty well cleared. One family, con- sisting of five, sugpposed to be foreigners, re- malned in the bow of the boat. Different members of the family were asked to get into boats, but as there was not room for the entire family they clung to- gother, wishing to die together rather than be separated. They were in the steerage of Walla Walla and happened in the end of the steerage which was shut off from the compartment wkere the bark plerced it. The timbers of the boat were 8o crushed by [ the bark that people in the other end of the steerage were shut off from the exits and were thus closed in with no hope for escape or chance to free themselves. Two of these people were gotten out, but more were supposed to have been held and went down with the shi Stops the Couxh and Works Off the Cold, Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.

Coffee blots out the sunshine frcm many & home by making the mother, or somo other member of the household dyspeptic, pervous and irritable. There are thou- sands of cases where the proof is ubsolutely undeniable. Here 1s ono. Mrs. C. K. Larzélere, Antigo, “1 was taught to drink coffee age and also at an early age I became a vietlm to headaches, and as I grew to womauhood these headaches became a part of me, as 1 was scarcely ever free from one. “About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum Food Coftee. 1 made the trial and the result was so satistactory that we have used it ever since. “My husband and little danghter were subject to billous attacks, but they = bave both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum Instead of coffee. I no longer have any headaches and my bealth is perfect, “If some of these nervous, tired, irrita- ble women would only leave oft coffee absolutely and try Postum Food Coffee they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with supshine and happiness rather than weari- ness and discontent. And think what an effect 1t would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of the children.” Wis., sayi at an early LY BE%E SATURDAY, JANUARY 4 1902 PERPLEX SENATOR MILLARD Many Gocd Candidates for Postmaster- ships in Nebraska.

MAIN FEATURE OF PROTOCOL United States Secures Suse Over Large Tract Abutting Nicaraguan Waterway. nty WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Some of the main features of the protocol between the United | States and Nicaragua, referred to In Prosi- dent Zelaya's message to his congress, have been made known in recent press dispatches from Managua. But there are many other important features which have not yet been disclosed, one of these being the com- plete American jurisdiction and the estab- lishment of American courts, both civil and criminal, throughout & zone six miles wide and extendiug from ocean to ocean, and Included the proposed termini Grey- ton on the Atlantic and Brito on the Pa- cific. The entire policing of this large tract also 1s placed In the bands of the United States, so that it has the power to preserve order, and after that to issue judiclal process extending' throughout this xone. Besides the authority of American courts and of the American police on the six- mile zone, the chief features of the pro- tocol are In giving a lease of this tract to the United States and at the same time glving an American guarantee that the Independence, soyerelgnty and Integrity of Nicaragua shall not be disturbed by the rights thus conferred upon the United States. No exact information ls obtainable as to the price specified in the protocol as pay- ment to Nicaragua for the grant to this country. It can be stated positively that this price is much less than was expected when the negotlations began, and that it is considered by officials as reasonable, It 15 understood that at the outset the view in Nicaragua was that $20,000,000 would be & proper figure for the grant to this coun- of the six members of the lower house from | try and about $5,000,000 for Costa Rica's grant. But while there 1s no information as to the final sum in the protocol, known to be far short of the above figures. As the cession takgs the form ot a perpetual lonse, it 18 probable that the protocol ine cludes the feature of an annual rent as part payment. A protocol with Costa Riea, identical in form with that with Nicaragua. except In the matter of price and territo leased, has been in course of negotiation and 1t is understood thet a satisfactory conclugion will be reached with that gov- ernment, FISH IN WESTERN STREAMS Quantity Gradually Increases Accord- ing to Government's Au- nunl Report, WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—An increase of over 9,000,000 n the fish and fish eggs dis- tributed by the government throughout the country and a marked decline in lobster Nehing are shown in the annual report of United States Commissioner of Fisheries Bowers for the last flscal year. The total fish and eggs distributed was |1,178,833,400, the principal species being #had, salmon, lake trout, whitefish, pike, perch, lake herring, cod, flatfish and lob- sters. Plans were matured to begin the propagation of lake herring on the great lakes. The total yield of the great lakes fisheries for the year was 113,728,000 pounds, Iwnrl.l $2,011,400. There were 9,670 persons employed in the lakes fisherfes and $6,617,- 000 was invested. In recent years the fishorfes of the Mis- slesippi and its tributaries have developed to euch a degree that in 1809 they exceeded in quantity and nearly equaled in value the entire yleld of the remaining interfor watere of the United States except the great lakes, Mussel shells, used in the manufacture of pearl buttons, were a val- uable item, some 145,000,000 pounds being gathered, for which the fishermen obtained $147,000.
