SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-Capt. Wal
lace, master of the Chester, was among
those who had a narrow escape from
death. He said: 81 was standing on
the bridge, and the Chester was
feeling her way out through the
fog. blowing her whistles reg
ularly. When the Oceanic's whistle
was heard we answered her, and sup
posed we would get clear all right. l
had an idea she was on our port side
somewhere and answered her accord
ingly. took proper steps to avoid her,
and 1 suppose she thought she was
clear of us. Suddenly her great. black
hull came up out of the fog. There
was no human possibility of getting
out of the way and passengers were got
ready for the shock and many screamed

struck us on the port side near the gang

works of the Chester were apparently

and the people seemed unmanageable.
1t was difficult matter for the Oceanic
to pick people up, but her officers did
splendid work. 1t was not four minutes
after the collision that the steamer went
down. She filled so rapidly it was inn

Eloquenee.
Republican Bosses Who Are

Official Pap.
A List Of the County Conven-
tiOnS to Be Held in the
Near Future.

Gilman has new kind of campaigning
which if Merriam, McGill and Scheffer
don't get the start of, will cause them
to lose ground. Charley sprung his
new scheme on the Benton county eau
cuSes at Sauk Rapids on Tuesday night.
Benton county lies just across the river
from Stearns county.> Charlie lives in
tions in the former.
Still his relatives have never been
able to carry Benton county for his in
terests and it has been sore grievance
to them that this was so.
Benton county opposed BartO in the
late congressional convention and
looked cOldly ON Gilman's dark horse
plans.
Tuesday night the caucuses we're held
in Sauk Rapids to elect delegates to the
county convention of to-day, which will
choose delegates for the state conven-
ton.
1t was supposed that the caucuses
would declare for Merriam and that he
would have the county solid. But
Charley attended them, and he made a
speech to the voters and his relatives
bumped themselves.
He spoke pathetically. He alluded to
his business interests; his long resi-
dence there, his honorable career and
that now was the opportunity of his life
to win high office, and with that three
big tears rolled down his cheeks.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 22.-The
grand state encampment was fairly got
ten under way in this city to-day. 1t
has been delayed on account of in
clement weather. Nearly all the In

drills by the Emerald cadets of st. Louis,
the Link ZOuaves of Nashville and the

The drilling of the st. Louis organiza-
ton was especially noticeable. The
programme terminated tonight with a
sham battle, participated in by about
5000 men. The feature of to-morrow's
programme will be the parade of the
''Klan of Komus" at night, at which
there will be not less than 10000 partici-
pants. Gov. Gray will arrive on Friday
to take part in the exercises.

THE BOSSES
Are Rampant in the Enemy's
Camp.


The Republican bosses of Hennepin.
Ramsey and Washington counties have
consummated great deal by which on
Sept. the country is to be nicely
tricked and dipped into giving them the
meat while it scurrys away with the
bone.
These bosses, headed by Stanford
Newell, Loren Fletcher, John S. Pills
bury, w. d. Washburn, Sabin and III. B.
Willis, are not so much interested in
s who is a candidate as that whoever is
nominated shall be in their control.
They want the new Republican state
central committee controlled by Twin
City politicians, and the state ticket
made up favorable to the railroad in
terests behind them, and the senatorial
fight which they hope to win next year.
Merriam and McGill they feel conf
dent of controlling, but the Scheffer
element they despair of reaching for
the reason that it is controlled by a
rival clique not dominant now. but
which wants to be. They would be sat
istied with Braden, because he belongs
to the machine and present regime.
By defeating Schefer and keeping
the nomination in the hands of either
Merriam. McGill or Braden they can
still manipulate the railroad commission
1aud secure for the Twin Cities another
United States senator.
They propose to resist any attempt to
sele tthe new central committe by the
convention, and to checkmate any
move like that of May 16, which put the
country on top.
There is, as well, the hope which
these bosses have that Harrison will
win this year. Bill King has big idea
that he will. .and Bill wants to distribute
patronage. So does Fletcher, Pillsbury
and Newell.
They all fish in the same barrel for
the patronage which they SO fondly

MORE CUNNING THAN WISE.
ParneIl's English Friends Gener-
ally Doubt the Wisdom of His
T,nnaI II, Scotland

IaFnelI s EnSl1Sn Ff1enUS Gener-
ally Doubt the Wisdom of His
Legal Step in Scotland.
Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Aug. 22.-Though the Par
nellite members generally approve his
course, it is becoming apparent daily
that a good many of Mr. Parnel's Eng
liSh friends question the wisdom of his
bringing his action in the Scotch courts.
They fail to see the advantage of this
procedure and do not hesitate to call it
mere cunning than wise. Of course it
is not intended as reflection ON the
fairness of English tribunals, but it
may be considered so by the large and
increasing number of English gentle
men of station. who, after years of
doubt or Indifference, have con-
quered their Drejudices and become
converts to the home rule cause.
1t is upon such men as these that Mr..
Parnell must largely depend for funds
to sustain his suit. He can hardly con-
ceive as yet the enormous expenses of
such trial as the coming one bids fair
to be. 1t is SAID that the excitement of
the presidential campaign in the United
States has already materially lessened
the influx of the signs of war across the
Atlantic, at time, too, when they are
badly needed, but the leaders seem
hopeful and perhaps are assured that
the deficiency will be supplied from
some other source. AS matter of fact
Mr.. Parnell and his cause have not any
influential friends in Scotland and he
will enter the court there with a strong
feeling of dislike to overcome.
1t would be curious exemp-
lar of the glorious uncertainty
of the law if Messrs. O'Connor and Red
mond should win their suits for libel in
the English court of Queens bench,
and Mr.. Parnell should, after long ex-
perience of the laws delay, retire un-
successful from the other side of the
Tweed. He feels confident of success,
however, nor is Mr.. Gladstone less
hopeful. Speaking of the latter gentle
man, it has been rare treat to persons
possessing keen appreciation of the
humorous to hear some of the comments
upon the eX-premier's course in inviting
several Irish members of parliament to
visit him at Hawarden.
The action appears to be regarded in
some quarters as knocking another
prop from under the British constitu-
ton.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-Allan A.
Curtis, one of the rescued passengers of
the Chester. told the following story:
IL was standing amldships on the left
hand side, and saw the Oceanic
bearing down toward US. She
was fully 100 yards distant. She
struck us forty feet from the bows on
the left-hand side. As she struck there
was rush of passengers towards the
Oceanic, and for a time there was
most horrible tumult. 1t was a most
horrible sight. The people who got
there first, and who were the
strongest, clambered on board the
Oceanic. l made a rush for
boat and helped to lower it. 1t was
the first boat lowered, and into it +
threw my wife and child. Some fifteen
people Immediately made leap for the
vessel. We had hardly got clear of the
vessel when the Chester went
dow down head first" j. ]. Mum
sell, another passenger. said: "I
also helped to cut away the boat.
and the crew of the Chester deserted
the passengers and only thought of saw
ing themselves. The Chester went
down in about fifty fathoms of water
and it is not probable she will
ever be seen again." The undertow
at this portion of the bay is
particularly strong, while numerous
currents and eddies lie beneath the
surface. The CITY of Chester was an
iron steamer which had been in
coast trade for many years. She
was built at Chester, Pa, in 1875. She
is the property of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company and formerly
ran to Portland. She was valued at
$3.50, 900 and was insured in San Fran
cisco and Eastern companies for about
half that sum. She had about 200 tons
of assorted cargo in her hold, worth
$4,000.
