STRIKES A HIDDEN REEF. The George R. White Goes to Pieces Off the Alaskan Coast. TOSSED INTO A RAGING SEA. Some of the Seamen Reach the Shore Only to Die From Expos- ure to an Arctic Blast. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., May 3.— Meager news was received this afternoon ! from Kodiak Island, Alasks, of the wreck | of the schooner George R. White, in which | seventeen lives were lost. A. E. Biggs, late engineer on the steamer Francis Cut- | ting, arrived in Sitka on the Western steamer Dora in time to take the steamer | ALKi for this port and brought some particulars of the accident, but was unable | to give the list of persons lost. The schooner- Lescoi arrived at Kodiak a X | few hours before his departure with one of | the survivors, who was so exhausted that | be could scarcely give a straight account t- | of the disaster. | On Easter Sunday a2 terrible northeast | gale, with a blinding snowstorm and the | thermometer 3 degrees below zero, pre- | vailed along the southeast coast of Alaska. | The schooner White, which was hunting sea otter, was caught in the storm and lost | her bearings. To make matters worse, some of the sails were carried away and a part of the fore- topmast went over the side. Then the steering gear became dismantled. helpless condition she was carried lightly before the gale, and just before midnight struck a submerged reef and a moment 1ater her hull was smashed into splinters. Twenty-eight men were thrown into the ice-cold waters, with the shore three miles distant, to reach which they must pass { through a heavy surf. Some of themin | their desperation clutched onto the float- ing debris and others were drowned. About twenty were fortunate enough to | reach the beach through a gale-whipped |sea and snowstorm, almost dead, with their clothes frozen to their bodies. With- { out food or shelter they passed a miserable night and at daybreak on the beach they found ten corpses. The survivors them- selves were too exhausted to bury the Gead. The most they could do was to drag their bodies up on the shore away from the rav~ enous animals of the sea. Clad in garments, with no fire or shelter, subsist- ing on shellfish and suffering frof intense cold. three or four more men died. On the third day after the wreck some native hunters chanced to pass by, and from them fresh meat and a supply wof matches to start a fire were obtained. By that time only eleven out of the original twenty-eight had survived. Many of them were badly frozen, their limbs frostbitten so severely that they must suffer surgical operations to save their lives. One man is said to have lost the use of both legs and arms. Scarcely one of the survivors will get through the ordeal without being maimed for life. The schooner Lescoi, after reporting the accident at Kodiak, returned for the sur- vivors. The place where the accident oc- curred was three miles from Tugeduk Islands, twenty-two miles southwest of Kodiak Island. The news had not reached } Kodiak an hour before the Dora sailed for Sitka, and it was impossible to learn the identity of the survivors. The schooner was owned by James Chen- owerth ané Paul Paulson of Seattle. Both of the owners are supposed to have been aboard at the time of the accident. The vessel was in charge of Captain J. M. Wheeler. MAILED ON THE WHITE. A List of the I1ll-Fated Schooner’s Officers and Crew. SEATTLE, WasH., May 3.—The schooner George W. White cleared from this port on July 14, 1894, for a year's cruise in the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. Her crew was signed by TUnited States Shipping Commissioner J. J. Burns and was as follows: Master, J. L. Wheeler; mate, Steve Baretech; cook, M. Buttee; huntersjEd- ward Pomeroy, Andrew Danielson and Justin Chenoweth; seamen, Richard Red- mond, C. Morris, Louis A. Burrell, John Harrison, Chris Swanson, Robert Baxter, Henry Parker; cabin-boy, James Carton. Her dimensions were: Net tonnage, 35.72; length, 61.2; breadth, 12.4; depth, 6.3. 'She was built in 1890 at Port Mad- ison, Washington. The George R. White and her crew were well known here. She was owned by Paul Paulson of Laconnor, and was fitted out for her cruise by Hibbard & Norton of this city. éapuin ‘Wheeler isoneof the best-known sealing masters on the sound, and is said 1o be a capable, daring navigator. During his cruise on the Volunteer, a little twelve- ton schooner, Captain Wheeler went upas far as Copper Island, which is consider- ably further up than any large schooners have ever gone. Justin Chenoweth, one of the hunters and owners, is also well known at this port. His home is at Laconnor, and he went along to represent his and Paulson’s inter- ests. It was the intention of Captain Wheeler when he left here last summer to hunt during the balance of the season in Bering Sea, and as winter approached to go south toward the Hawaiian Islands, and then on to the California coast, near Santa Barbara, when he would cruise along up the coast and hunt the seals that are sup- posed to migrate in that direction at this season. Instead of carrying out that plan he undoubtedly wintered near Kodiak. Off Kodiak and extending northward overa distance of 200 miles is what is “called the Fortlock Banks, where there is excellent hunting and which affords a good harbor in the winter season, and probably he has been hunting there all winter. When the schooner was last spoken in In this} the Bering Sea by Captain Miner of the Ella Johnson last September she had be- tween 100 and 200 sealskins. It is also be lieved that she had several black bear and otter skins, all of which will be lost. She was valued at about $3U00 and was well insured. LOS ANGELES TO ISSUE BONDS. Foters at the Polls Declare in Favor of the City’s Improvement. LOS ANGELES, Caxr, May 3.—The elec- tion to-day resulted favorably for the issu- ance of bonds to the amount of $30,000, the proceeds to be used in the purchase of land for head works for a water system. It was also voted to issue bondsto the amount of $40,000 for the purpose of con- structing a new police station and jail. The bonds will bear 44 per cent interest, one-fortieth of the principal payable an- nually. The proposition to bond the city to the extent of $200,000 for the imprevement of parks and the construction of a public library and museum was defeated. SANTA CRUZ BARON'S FATE Von Kanzler Sentenced to Pay a Fine of Fifty Dollars. The Story of Ansel White’s Death Told by a Friend—Veterans Wil Observe Memorial Day. SANTA CRUZ, Can, May 3.—The| noted “Baron’ von Kanzler case is at an end. Von Kanzler was un before the Sa- perior Court this morning to be sentenced. A motion was made through his attorneys for a new trial, which was denied. Von Kanzler's attorney then pleaded for clemency tor his client, telling of the | two months already served in the Countv | Jail and of his health being seriously im- paired. | Von Kanzler himself addressed the court | before his sentence was received. He said he would not be able to say much, as he was quite ill, but that if ever an innocent man was convicted in these courts- it was himself. “There is a higher Judge before whom we shall all stand,” said he. “This entire trial was 8 piece of spitework and con- ‘ spiracy."” The Judge asked Ven Kanzler if he | would be able to paya fine, and received | the reply that if he were able to sell some | stock on his Lake County ranch he could. He was then sentenzed to pay a $50 fine or | serve one day in the County Jail for each | $2 of the fine. j How Ansel White Died. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., May 3.—Chief of Palice Rawle has received a letter from 8. G. Morse, ex-Sheriff of Clallam County, ‘Washington, who knew Ansel White, the missing heir to a $4.000,000 estate in New York. He says White died suddenlyin 1888. The cause of hi- death was never learned, and i was fg before the body was foand, as he' lone. White sold some land a year before he died and hid the money—$3500—but it was never found. His body is buried in the woods. Will Obserre Memorial Day. SANTA CRUZ, Car., May 3.—The Grand Army has decided to appropriateiy observe | Memorial day with a parade and literary exercises.

SANTA ROSA, Car, May 3.—Arrange- ments for the rose carnival to be held here May 8, 9 and 10 are now complete, and all that is necessary to- make it the greatest event that ever took place in this part of the State is good weather.

Chlef Engineer Storey Says It Will Follow the Line of the Pre- liminary Survey. 8TOCKTON, Car., May 3.—Chief Engi- neer Storey of the Valley road returned this evening from the camp of the survey- ors, who are working about ten miles south- east of the city with Engineer Graham. He stated to-night that to-morrow he will call in the surveying party, and on Monday the work of locating the track ®f the new road will begin. It was thought that the preliminary survey, as run from here to the Stanisians River, might not be followed, but that another line might be run to see if a better route could be found, and many were under the impression that the route first proposed along the French Camp road would be selected. The decision of Chiet Engineer Storey settles this ques- tion, and now that the preliminary lines will be the ones followed by the road the Commercial Association knows from whom to secure rights of way. This work will be commenced without delay, and the committees for this purpose will probably be appointed at the jollifica- tion mass-meeting that Will be held here to-morrow evening.

NO LONGER THE PENITENT. The Beardless Youth for Whom All San Bernardino Pleaded Throws Off the Mask. SAN BERNARDINO, Cir, May 3.— Channing B. Barnes, who, with one Hyatt, robbed the Ontario State Bank of $5000 a few months ago, is now safely lodged in San Quentin for a term of six years. Offi- cers of the law now suspect him, on ecir- cumstantial evidence, of having killed Hyatt, his partner in the crime. While Barnes was confined in jail await- ing trial he formeda plan of escape, in conjunction with friends on the outside of Failing in this he pleaded guilty, refused to defend his case in court and en- listed the Rev. Dr. Frost and other promi- nent citizens in his behalf to secure a light sentence. It is now supposed he did this to escape discovery of the crime of murdering his cofipanion. Aiter securing the booty at the bank shey drove to the Rincon hills and there left their team and hid in.the mountains. Barnes stated that he repeatedly de- tected Hyatt in the act of raising a rock to beat out his brains, and only protected himself by compelling Hyatt to go on be- fore him at the point of a revolver. Tne next morning they divided their money and boarded the train for Los Angeles, and from that day to this no trace of Hyatt has been found. The officer who took Barnes to San Quen- tin detected him in conversation with two toughs on the journer there. Barnes’ movements were so suspicious on several occasions on the way that the officer took extra precautions to prevent his escape. He is-not now the penitent man he ap- peared to be when pleading with the court for a light sentence. Barnes’ story of Hyatt’s movements is considered flimsy, and it is supposed the balance of the bank’s money is now in a cache somewhere in the Chino hills, known only to Barnes. The officers believe the body of Hyatt may yet be found to tell the story of a double crime. Senator Cullom Tendered a Reception. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., May 3.—Sen- ator Cullom of Illinois, who has been vis- iting various towns in this valley, arrived hereto -night. He was tendered an informal reception at the Stewart Hotel.
