CRASHED ONTO A ROCK. Eighty-one of the Passengers and Crew Sank With the Vessel. ONLY TWENTY-SIX SAVED. Mrs. and Miss Loring, Well Known in San Francisco, Among the Victims. B.

P. Pin- chief officer; Harold Leffier, third er; R. H. Anderson, engineer; J. W. , third engineer; A. Wolstenholm, fourth engineer; R. Manning, chief stew- ard, and forty-one Chinese. The accident was due to currents drift- ing the steamer on the rocksin the fury and darkness of the storm. Mrs. and Miss Loring were the wife and daughter of the secretary of the Imperial Federation League of Australia, and were well known in San Francisco, having been on their way there via China. At the Coroner’s inquest it was emphati- cally proved thatthe steamer was being steered all right, and that the only way to account for the vessel’s striking was that some mysterious current carried her on the rocks. Following is an account of the disaster by & survivor, Dr. Copeman, which most accurately and briefly details the circum- stances of the disaster: “I was returning to England by way of China, via Vancouver. Because I had a premonition that the Catterthun was going to be wrecked I engaged passage with another steamer, but a friend per- ded me to go by the Catterthun. At 2o'clock on the morning after the Y steamer had saileg, a violent storm arose and the sea swept over the vessel, and at half-past 2 T was shot out of my bunk by a terrific shock, which was followed bya second one. 1rushed on deck and found the steamer lifted and rapidly settling.

Jerry Simpson Starts the Ball Rolling in Kansas. WICHITA, K Sept. gressman Jerry Governor Lewelling of this city for the Populist renomination for Governor next year. Before the Populist convention at El Dorado to-day he made a strong speech favoring Lewelling’s renomination, and every mention of the ex-Governor’s name was applauded to the echo. Lewelling is not a gubernatorial aspirant, and stead- fastly declares that he desires to give his entire time and energy to the building up of his butter and egg business. It is a fact, however, that he iscon- stantly receiving messages and letters from ‘all over the State urging him to enter the race. His friends say that every leading Populist in the Siate favors Lew- elling’s candidacy, and indications are that he will be the next standard-bearer of the Populist party in Kansas. o ey 14.—Ex-Con- Latter-Day Saints.

Her Captains Have Decided to Enter No More Races Here. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 15.—As the dismantling of the Valkyrie goes on the possibilities of another Defender-Valkyrie race grows less. No hope that there will be one is really entertained anywhere. It appears that the members of the cup com- mittee had not given up hopes on Friday of bringing the boats together, although the English yacht was then undergoing the process of stripping. Chester Griswold, of the regatta committee, said to-day that Mr. Iselin had tried hard to arrange a special race and the matter was talked over at great length by the members of the regatta committee and the cup committee at the meeting Friday night, but all ef- forts were fruitless and nobody connected with the club now has the slightest hope in that direction. The work of stripping the Valkyrie was pursued with the same vigor to-day as that which marked the operations of the crew on Friday. Capiain Granfield said he expected the Valkyrie would be ready to sail either next Saturday afternoon or Monday morning. It was learned to-day from a well-posted vachtsman that the Defender will go across the ocean early next year and race at the Cannes and other Mediterranean races, and then will go to England and take part in the British yacht races. The Defender will be raced under the colors of W. K. Vanderbilt, who is now the chief owner of the yacht. It issaid that he has furnished all the money to build and race the yacht except $10,000, and that C. O. 1selin and ex-Commodore E. D. Morgan contributed $5000 each. Whatever Mr. Vanderbilt’s interest in the Defender may be, it is said that he is to purchase the interests of Messrs. Iselin and Morgan, and »the yacht will be under his flag. Completion of the Labors of the Convention by an Election. Hudson River Steamer Captains Asked to Honor the Tomb of General Grant. LOUISVILLE, K., Sept. 14.—The con- vention of the Women’s Relief Corps com- pleted its list of National officers to-day with the following selections: Executive board — Ellen F. Daniels, Charleston, W. Va.; Emma R. Aldridge, Kansas; Charlotte B. Wright, New Haven, Conn.; Alice Henry, Vermont; Frances 8. Movre, Montana. Representative on board of National Home, Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer, Pennsylvania; delegate to National Coun- cil of Women, Mrs. Emma B. Wallace, Chicago. The president appointed the following: National secretary, Harriet L. Reed, Dor- chester, Mass.; National councilor, Mar- garet Ray Wickins. Sabetha, Kans.; in- spector, Mary L. Carr, Longmont, Colo. Resolutions were adopted thanking the past officers for their serviees and the citizens of Louisville for their generous entertainment of the visitors. A resolu- tion was also adopted requesting the cap- tains of all Hudson River steamers pass- ing the tomb of General Grant at River- side to honor the great soldier's memory by tolling the bell and dipping the flag. The meeting was then resolved into a sort of love feast, and compliments were ex- changed by the ladies all around. A handsome gold badge was presented to Mrs. Gunlock of Chicago, the retiring president. Cedar mallets were presented to Mrs. Heirst, the new president, and Mrs. Gunlock. The convention adjourned sine die at 5 o’clock. APPEALED BY THE GOVERNMENT. Exception Taken to a Judge’s Interpreta- tion of the Exclusion Act. CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. 14.—Judge Sea- man’s construction of the Chinese exclu: sion act does not please the Department of Justice at Washington, and a telegram bas been received at the District Attor- ney’s office to take an appeal from the Judge’s decision discharging four China- men last week. They had been arrested at Detroit charged with having attempted to evade the exclusion act. While on their way to the Pacific Coast for deporta- tion the officers were mterrupted at Chi- cago and were forced to give up their pris- oners on a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was heard the early part of last week by Judge Seaman, who discharged the four prisoners. Judge Seaman said that the Commis- sioner was not a judicial officer; that he was not clothed with authority to punish or pass final sentence upon any one; that his Eruvince was restricted to binding oyer to the Federal Grand Jury or discharging for want of sufficient evidence. The Judge further held that the act inflicted both imprisonmert and deportation upon the violators; it was a double punishment, contrary to law. . Just how the Government will proceed in an appeal is not yet made plain, and a letter from the department at &uhingmn is expected on the subject, The prisoners were dischargea by a United States Judge, and the lawyer here contemplates an ap- peal by the Government from one of its own Judges. The question is a grave one, and if Judge Seaman’s construction is accepted by other District Judges the Chi- nese exclusion act is a dead letter. —_— Injured by an Explosion. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 14.—An ex- plosion occurred to-day at the American Smokeless Powder Works at Bay Chester, seriouslyiqulrin three persons. The in- jured are: Frank Widner, 2 years old; ary Searing, 14 years old; Mason E. Leonard. The Searing girl was so badly Jburned that she cannot live. —_— Sailing Postponed. WASHINGTON, D.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept.14.—A deposi- Strength. tion was received to-day by Herant M. Kirstchjian, general secretary of the Ar- menian Relief Association, from Mrs. Mariam Haroyan, a well-connected Ar- menian lady, from a city of Upper Armenia, concerning the security of Armenians in the cities as compared with the villages. She said: “Our condition cannot be described in words; security is no word to use. We have no hope or resource left. Everything seems doomed, and if relief does not come after all this disaster the evil that will re- sult will be something that cannet be con- ceived. Think of the life fathers and mothers are living in the miserable land that was once a garden! That is how our best is perishing. The peovle have no means or courage even of possessing any arms when even the suspicion of it brings such destruction upon whole families; so that they are not able to defend them- selves even against thieves and robbers.” IS SINKING RAPIDLY.

The Government at first pretended to pay no attention to these rumors, but Saturday sent two war- ships after three suspicious sailing vessels reported to have been seen off that coast, and which, it is reported, had on board a large lot of war material for the revolu- tionists! It is stated that the revolutionists have been promised, if once they get a foothold by defeating the Government troops, that they will be recognized by Germany, but on condition that they proclaim an empire and elect Prince Henry of Prussia or some other German Prince as Emperor. Itis stated that the new movement is already well organized and will take definite shape in December. The Government sent orders to the Governor of that province to keep the closest possible watch for risings, and threatens to renew martial law there. The Government now no longer denies the movement there, but pretends to ridicule the idea that this is backed by any Euro- pean power, least of all Germany, which has 150,000 of its subjects in that portion of Brazil. Rumors to the contrary insist that many officers of the army and navy promised to join any movement favoring even of minutes. The physcians have given up all hope, and thrqughout the night have devoted their 2nergles to easing the pain of the sick man’s lasf hours.

Monarchist leaders here were approached by a correspondent, but refused absolutely to speak on the subject, though they don’t deny that some movement is projected in that State, 3 FPresident Moraés refuses to speak on the subject, simply laughing at the idea as us. He says Brazil is at peace. RIO GRANDE DO SUL, Bmazin, Sept. 14.—From military preparations in this State it is known that the Government has some intelligence that a revolutionary movement is projected soon. Ships along the coast are ordered to exercise extraor- dinary vigilance, as it is suspected that an attempt will be made to land arms for the revolution, which arms are announced as coming from Europe. A number of arrests have been made here and at Porto Allegre of persons who are suspected of favoring the revolution and planning the establishment of an empire. Garrisons on the frontier of Uruguay and Argentine are being reinforced. Warships and artillery are reported to be coming to this coast from Rio Janeiro. It is claimed that the forces in this State will be soon increased to 8000 treops, and officers, who on September 1 received orders to prepare for a return to their homes, to-day received counter orders, and will remain here. Money to pay troops was received from Rio. Government officials seized a large quantity of arms concealed near G: ue and Pelotes, and persons residing in that neighborhoed were arrested, but, on proving that they had nothing to do with the arms, were re- leased. Officials here deny any import- ance to the revolutionary projects, and say that the organizersare only bandits, and that these will be soon forced to surrender, ending what is wrongly termed a revolution. was arrested here. The complaint against him was filed by the drug firm of Wood- ward, Clark & Co. of Portland for forgery and obtaining money by false pretenses. Hanscom says the trouble arises over the failure of the firm he represents to cash a sight draft drawn by him, and indorsed by ‘Woodward, Clark & Co. at Portland about ten days ago. Hanscom came here several days ago with his wife, who 1s from San Francisco. He says there is some mistake or misunderstanding. He says there was nothing irregular in_his draft upon the | firm he works for, and that the matter will be explained in due time. HONORED A CALIFORNIAN.

A Parisian Paper Says That Waller's Case Is Lost. PARIS, France, Sept. 14.—The Siecle says that the United States Government has received complete explanations of the matter of the offense, prosecution and sen- tence of ex-United States Uonsul Waller, which shows that his case is irretrievably lost.

On the eve of his retirement as the head of the order Mr. Thorne was presented by the delegates and officers of the Supreme Council—in other words, of the National convention—with a handsome solid silver set which cost $2500. The speech of presentation was made by Supreme Chief Ranger-elect Smith of Low- ell, Mass. Mr. Thorne responded in a speech of four minutes’ duration, in which in terms of great eloquence he attested his loyalty to the order and his regard for its member- ship. Mr. Thorne also made another speech as retiring ranger, in which he felicitated the order on its determination to foster the organization west of the Mis- sissippi by meeting in Denver in 1897, R R Department officials know nothing of the information respecting the Waller cases, professed to have been obtained by the Siecle of Paris, and cannot understand the basis for the claim that Waller’s cause “‘has been irretrievably lost.” They attach no importance to the alleged news. The record and proceedings of the court-martial are not due in France until about the end of the month, according to statements made by the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs to Ambassador Eustis, and if it betrue that they are in Paris, it is said that the French Ministry will tind some embarrassment in explaining its statement given out that they would not be for more than a week yet, the steamer supposed to be bearing them having reached Aden, on the Red Sea, on Septem- ber 12. As a matter of general average, any apparently exclusive item of foreign news published in any Parisian newspaper can be classed as a fabrication, destitute of foundation in fact. There have been no breaks in this record so far as officials here have been able to observe. PRI Mutiny of Manila Troops.

It was largely due to Colonel John Warren’s insistence upon his. rights as an American citizen, when captured by the British Government during the Fenian invasion of Canada in 1867, that the two naturalization treaties roclaimed in 1870 and 1871 were concluded 'ween this country and Great Britain, HEEe L AL Arrival of the Paris.

People of Missouri Heard an Able Dis- course on Finances. LACLEDE, . Mo., Sept. 14.—Hon. R. P. Bland addressed 10,000 people here to-day at the opening of the County Fair. Fol- lowing is a condensation of his talk on bond issues and gold drains to Europe: “The present indications are that there will probably be a bond issue, and possibly the exports of cotton and wheat may les- sen the demand for gold abroad. Assoon as this year is over, however, the gold will begin to go abroad again and another issue of bonds will take place. The finances of the country under the gold standard arein adeplorable condition. There is no way to maintain it except by the sale of bonds to procure gold, and that means a perma- nent increase of the public debt. The talk that gold will go to a premium under the free coinage of silver is no argument against silver, for every bond sale means a premium on gold. We are paying & pre- mium for gold every time we sell bonds to vrocure it.” Andrew Lobdel, Ttalians, out of $15.000. | re R FRAKER'S CASE PARALLELED. Railroad Men Say That John W. Hillmon Is Alive. TOPEKA, Kaxs,, Sept. 14.—The findine of Dr. Fraker has revived a great deal of talk about John W. Hillmon, and now, it is confidently asserted that he has been found again. Captain George W. Findlay of Topeka stated to-day that in conversa- tion with Claim Agent M. Foulks of the Santa Fe and Assistant Claim Agent C. W. Rynan these men said that they knew pos- itively that Hillmon was alive and that they could place their hands on him at a moment’s notice. Captain Findlay said that a proposition had been submitted to the insurance companies interested to pro- duce Hillmon for a certain consideration, themoney not to be paid until it was proved in court that the man produced l was John W. Hillmon. The attorneys f0r1 the insurance companies here say that they know nothing about the proposition. MURDERED BY A SOUATTER Two Innocent Men Shot Down in a Cowardly Man~ ner. While Running for His Life the As- sassin Was Killed by Pur- suing Officers. CHEYENNE, Wrvo., Sept. 14.—James ‘Walsh, aged 60, living as a squatter on the Robinson ranch, on Big Goose Creek, near Sheridan, ran amuck yesterday afternoon, killing two innocent men. ‘Walsh first rode up to the house of H. N, Robinzon, an old gentleman on whose ranch he was living, and when Robinson came to the door shot him down in cold blood. He then rode to the Work ranch, a mile distant, and shot and killed Herbert Lynville, a young man employed as a cow- ‘Walsh then started for the mountains. Sheriff Morrow ana Deputy Howe started in pursuit an hour later and succeeded in heading , Walsh off. He abandoned his horse and hid in the brush along Big Goose Creek. This afternoon, when Morrow had se- cured a larger posse, Walsh was driven from his hiding place. He ran through a cornfield on the Timms ranch to try to get in the timber along Beaver Creek. Three of the Sheriff's men followed him closely and ran him down. He was called on to surrender, but replied by leveling his gun at his pursuers, who opened fire on him at once, killing him instantly. Both of Walsh's victims were highly re- spected and there is no known cause for the murders. <l A The Bennington in Quarantine. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

ALL AGAINST GUTIERREZ Salvador Threatened Once More by a Most Serious Revolution. NO QUARTER FOR THE ENEMY' Among Those Captured and Put to Death Without Trial Were Nineteen Rebel Officers. SONSONATE, BALVADOR, Sept. 14.—Dur- ing the last two weeks there has been riot- ing here. The rioters numbered over 300 men, mostly discharged soldiers who served under Ezeta. The Government sent 500 men against them. They re- treated toward the coast, where they awaited attack, being constantly re- enforced until they had over 600 men. Government troops arrived here Wednes- day morning. They had been promised pay, but finding themselves unpaid and in want of the necessaries of life, and the merchants refusing to credit them, they began rioting, but the officers succeeded ‘Wednesday afternoon in forcing them to fight the enemy, whom they drove away. Both parties sustained heavy loss. It is claimed the rebel loss was sixty-two and the Government fifty-seven and many more were wounded. 3 Thursday was spent in skirmishing, with an advantage for the Government forces. This morning at an early hour the soldiers commenced yelling, “Death! Death to the Government!” “Death to Gutierrez!” *Viva Libertad |” The officers found themselves powerless to check the disorder, and over 200 of the soldiers left this city, joined the rebels and attacked the Government force outside this city. The troops which remained loyal made a heroic defence, but at the last were obliged to fall back. When they reached. here at 2 o’clock this afternoon they were met by fresh re-enforcements which had arrived during the day from Santa Ana and the capital, and in a fresh fight the rebels were defeated and forced. to fall back, -which they are still doing. The rebel loss was over half their number. The Government troops followed up the ad- vantage killing many and showing no quarter. Nineteen rebel officers who were captured have been shot withont trial, on telegraphic orders from Salvador. Fresh forces of rebels are already rallying to join the in- surgents. 1t isreported that most of the rebel leaders have been killed, among them General Segundio Rivas. Government officials here say that too much importance was given the affair, and that it was merely one of the numerous large bands of robbers which are running around the country. They particularly deny that this is a movement in favor- of Ezeta. More troops are reported to be now on the road here. Great Fetes at Rome.
