 | WISYIPEG. Nov. l0.-A fearful disss-
 ter occurred on Lake Superior of Port
 Arthur early this morning. The mag | nificent iron.clad steamer AlgOma, of
 the Canadian Pacific Railway, was
 wrecked and thirty-seven lives lost.
 Only meagre particulars have been re- | .eived up to the present hour. They
 consist mainly of :elegrsms to private persons announcing the loss of friends.
 Mir. F.. Dudgeon, of this city, receIved
 few moments ago the following tele-
 gram:
 "Algoma gone down. Your wife and
 two children are drowned.
 | (Signed) Jog VIVIAN. Mir. DudgeOn's wife IS 5 years old and the children are a boy and girl SIX and four years old respectively. Mr. | DudgeOn IS from Owen Sound, and was sending his wife and family back to On- tariO. The steamer left Port Arthur at | 8 D. m, ami was wrecked of Isle Royal,
 just outside of Thunder Bay, A heavy
 storm prevailed all Sunday afternoon and night, and the steamer lay to for s time, when the weather slightly mOder-
 ated and the vessel started again but
 made very slow progress. In the morn ing dense fog prevailed and the steam
 CT felt her way along, blowing ner fog | horns. She struck reef and went
 down, all hands on board being reported | lost. The steamer was bound for Owen Sound, the passengers for Toronto and other points east. J. B. Rowan, a brick
 layer, of this city accompanied by his sister, IS known 70 have been on board bound for Scotland to visit his old
 home for six months. Capt. Moore was master O. the vessel oLd Mackenzie, a
 nephew of Hon. Alex. Mackenzie, his
 purser.
 ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
 It now turns out that the steamer AL
 gonna was coming into Port Arthur, and not going out, when the wreck occurred
 She left Owen Sound last Thursday and
 was wrecked last Saturday night. The
 first known of the disaster was when the
 steamer Arthabasca, of the same line,
 arrived at St. Arthur late this evening
 with the crew of the Inflated AlgOma, consisting of thirteen, and two psssen-
 gers, who were the only ones savad.
 The Arthabasca, which left Owen Sound
 two daps after the AlgomR, came upon
 the wreck at Isle Royale, and found
 the crew and two passengers m a
 perisbing condition on the island.
 The wreck had been dashed by the
 waves agGinst the rocks and was finally
 beaten against the shore of the island.
 The crew and two passengers saved
 themselves by taking to life-boBt and
 battling with the waves until the shore
 was reached. The boat was TGshed over
 several times by the waves, but righted
 again, while the men clung with the de- spalr of death to the sides. They sue ceeded in reaching land, aim st dead
 from exhaustion and exposure. The storm continued to rage furiously sll night long. The rescued remained on the beach, watching the wreck beat
 against the rock bound island and see ing the dead bodies drShci Tn the surf against the shore. The Arthabasca came along about neon today and, as the channel was narrow, could not avoid seeing the wreck and the distress of those on the island. A boat was sent ashore and brought the rescued to the ArthaOascs, which set sal for Port Ar
 thur. where 1t arrived about 7o'clock this evening. There is intense excite ment ID this city tonight. as many had friends on board. The list of cabin pas sengers can be had at Toronto or SAult Ste Maria, where a manifest of pAssen- gers IS given to the custom officers. The AlgOma was a thoroughly built and splendidly equipped Clyde steel | steamer, lighted with electricity. The | gross tonnage is 17SO, length 270 feet, | breadth 3S feet. It was complete in | every detail. The furnishing was as luxurious as the finest steamer. The | vessel cost S+jO,OOO, and is understood | to have been insured for S3O0OOO It Is | one of the three steamers, Alberta, Ar thabssca and Algoma, purchased two gears ago by the Canadian Pacific Rail way for the lhke traffic, since which l tune 1t has been plying between Owen | Sound and Port Arthur, doing big husi- ness. The steamer gave the greatest | satisfaction.
 WAsHINGToS, Nov. 1O-In reference to | Secretary Whitney's order sending the | Tennessee and the Galena to the 18th | mus of Panama, the Star says that 1t is | inferred that be is anxious to prevent | another outbreak similar to that of last | spring, which will endsnger the Isthmus | transit, rendering this government lia- | ble for damages, and quotes a naval Of- | ficer as saying: We have not received | a bill for the burning of AspInwall yet, | built will be along this winter, and | there will be quite howl raised. Dam ages tO the amount of a good many mil ipnf of dollars were caused by the burn very much as if the Government | would be compelled to foot the bill. We guaranteed to keep the and, m the event of its failure, the re- sponsIbilIty rested on our shoulders We open the transit, but before that was done AspinwHll was burned and mil lions oi dollars worth of property was destroyed. The people who suffered will expect remuneration, aud, bs l said, will send in bill to us."
 The sudden ordering of Amiral JOuett to the Isthmus of Panama Is the sole topic of conversation in naval circles. It IS sad that the people of Aspinwsll have preferred claims sggregattDg be- tween seven and eight millions, which will be presented tO Congress for pay nent. This IS a claim for property de- stroyed during the late troubles and for which, It IS alleged, this government l. Admiral JOuett's mission Is in connection with this matter.
 WAsHINGTON, Nov, 9-lO-Maior Ed noDd Mallett, uf thIs clty, a well known worker III the French cause in the Unit d States and an intimate personal friend of Louis Riel. had an interview with the President this afternoon and made a strong appeal for the interfer- snce Of this Government tO prevent the hanging If Riel by the Canadian au- houties. The President heard Mir. ,lallett fully, and after giving the mat Ter thorough consideration, concurred | Sith Mir. Bayard's opinion, previously yiven, that 1t was not case in which he United States could properly inter
