when We dwell upon the marvellous
progress which has been made by

log Of the Bywcii Ca~sie.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The following
is the log of the steamer Bywell
Castle, which ran down the excur-
sion steamer Princess Alice. on the
Thames, on Tuesday evening. The
master and pilot were on the upper
bridge and the lookout OH the top
gallant forecastle. Light airs pre-.
vailed;. the weather was a little
hazy at 7:45 P. NJ. Proceeded at
half speed down Gallons Reach.
When about at the centre of the
Reach observed the excursion
steamer coming up Barling Beach,
ing, showing red and mast h cad
lights, when we ported our helm
to keep over towards Tripcock
Point. AS the vessels neared, OBJ
served that the other steamer had
ported her helm. Immediately
afterwards saw she had starboarded
her helm and was trying to cross
our bow. Seeing a collision was
inevitable We stopped our engines
and reversed them at full speed.
The two vessels came in collision,
the bow of Bywell Castle cutting
into the steamer with dreadful
crash. We took immediate meas
urss for saving life by hosting up
over our bows several passengers,
throwing overheard ropes, life
buoys, head ladder and several
planks and getting out three boats,
at the same time keeping whistle
blowing loudly for assistance,
which was rendered by several
boats from shore and a boat from
another excursion steamer. The
Princess Alice turned over and
sank. We succeeded in rescuing a
great many passengers and anch.
ored for the night. No log of the
Princess Alice had been made up
nor has the Captain survived to
give an account Of her course. The
collision will be the subject of
Board of trade inquiry immedi- :
ately. An accurate estimate of
the number of persons drowned is
impossible, but the general belief
is that it will not fall below five
hundred. The Bywell Castle re.
ceived no damage whatever.

fornian), Roberts and Ralston, one
half Of the whole in common;
Dodge, Lent, Barlow, Mcclellan,
James McHenry and Mr.. Burt, the
English lawyer in Erie, ons.quar-
ter, and Arnold the other. The
interest of the New York parties
had cost them about 100000. The
style OF the organization was "The
San Francisco and New York Min

and its trustees were the first men
in California. On Janin's report
$500, 900 of the stock were sold In
San Francisco within week after
the subscription books were thrown
open to the general public, and
$500, 900 of this was paid to Arnold
for the remainder of his interest.
The excitement, meantime, had
reached London, and the Times
sounded the first note Of warning.
The fact that geology taught that
the presence Of such various jewels
in one locality Was impossible,
was supplemented by the state
ment that parties from California
had attracted attention the yeal
before in London by buying all the
rough diamonds to be found in the
city. This came back to Caiifor

pany took the alarm and induced
Mr.. Clarence King, United States

of Australian rye grass, which does

will hold its own with the native
grasses has yet to be determined.
Mesquit grass does well in moist

out In three or four years.
Capt. A. J. Hutchinson has been
for the past three years making
some experiments with the seed of
forage plants received by him from

San Francisco should aim to be q

her manufactured staples, and she

than any matinee given in the Opera House for

grown much in strength since it was last pre-

improvement upon Sam sLucas as Henry, .
and Miss Overall, good contralto. Mr.. Willie
Lyle and Miss Brown are additions strengthen
ing the company greatly. Every solo and
almost every chorus were encored, and round
after round of applause was given at the
finish Of each gambler. The misehievous
Kaloolah and the jelly wild Harry in the first
part created roars of laughter, and in the
drawing room scene Miss Anna Flyers and
Wallace King received encore upon encore, till
they were exhausted. The favor excited by
this admirable company will perhaps induce
them to visit st. Paul again at no distant day.
