in combining himself to 800 men, which Mr..
Wolf Is bringing with him, the latter had
simply obeyed his Instructions. as the amount
subscribed by the International Union OF New

that number TO san Francisco. Mr. Canning
saysthat MISUNDERSTANDING Is due to the fact
that the cigarmakcrs who wished to come to
California had COMPOUNDED Mr.. WOlfwith the
agent of the Cigarmakers' Association. This
latter association is composed ofthe proprietors
of the San Francisco cigar factories. They

CHICAGO, Dec, a0.-The conslgnees of the
missing schooner Orphan Boy have given up
all hope of her safety. A letter was received
by them this morning from the lake captain
about D. M, abreast of the Beacon Islands.
The opinion of the firm Is that she either
foundefed in the terrific gale of that night, or
that she struck a reef in attempting to mako
the southern passage and went to pieces.
There were eight men on board, who doubtless
went down with her. More weight is given to
the former theory, as had she met the latter
fate. some, pieces of her would have been
washed ashore.

up goes on slowly but steadily through the

explored the mine as thoroughly as possible
this afternoon. They came to the conclusion
that 1t was impossible that the entombed men
could still be alive, and that beyond any fur

flood of sand, which it was found has filled
every portion of the workings.
