C., Oct. 30.—The steamer City of Seattle, arriving from the north this evening, brought news of what appears to be the total wreck of the Seattle steam schooner Rainfer. The vessel ran on the rocks in Icy Strait, two hours’ run from Juneau, last Satur- day night. On Sunday she was still fast and the sea, breaking over her, threat- ened to smash her to pieces. The Rainier is a halibut fishing vessel of 180 tons. She fished in the open sea north of Chichagoff Island, and was making for Juneau heavily laden when she was caught by the storm. She had a crew of fifteen men and these all man- aged to get ashore shortly after the ves- sel hit the rocks. They were taken to Juneau on Sunday. There was no pros- rect of saving the wrecked vessel. Her home port is San Francisco. — e DOLE TO SUCCEED ESTEE AND CARTER FOR GOVERNOR Chief Executive of Hawaii Will Prob- " ably Be Succeeded by Territorial “Immediately after the ciose of the war Secretary. came the adoption of the fourteenth and of ; 4 fifteenth amendments, which enfr:- HENORELS Oct-.tm-—Adfl“! e chised the blacks for party purposes s A TS B Dole will probably be appointed United States District Judge of Hawall to suc- ceed Morris M.

He was then taken out and laid upon the table where he had undergone the operation of being placed under a hypnotic influence the evening before. The lecturer then proceeded to restore the young man to consciousness. His first attempt failed to produce the desired re- sult, and so did the second and lkewiss the third. After repeated efforts with the same fruitless results the lecturer became excited, lost his seif-control, fainted and #ell to the platform in a swoon.
