THE WRECKED ANCONA.
She Was Lost by the Blunder Of &
Chinuman.

PORTLAND, Onra., Sept 6.-The following
statement regarding the wrecked steamer An

is to let go the bow line and swing out on the
stern. thus avoiding the rocks which lay
directly in front. The captain gave strict
orders to this effect, but somebody, supposed
to be Chinsman, cast of the stern line
and before anything could be done the
vessel had drifted onto the rocks. She struck
amidships and the tide, which was at food,
began to recede, leaving the vessel hung up on
the rocks. In an almost incredible short time
she began to crack,, and nearly everybody being
in bed it was with difficulty some got out So

that in settling 30 fast the walking
beam would fall and cause injury,
but it did not. The bow which was leavily
laden with salt sank until it grounded, and in
that condition things rested. The machinery

would certainly have fallen. The steamer

THREE VICTIMS OF FEVER.
Omcia1 Report Of the Sanitary Condition
of the New Hampshire.

Capt. Higginson Of the training ship Hew
Hampshire, at Newport, upon which there was
an outbreak Of typhoid fever, appointed a
medical board to make a medical survey Of the
vessel The report Of the board has been re-
oeived at the Navy department. The board
consisted Of DR.. John @. Wise, surgeon Of the
torpedo station, and Drs. John L. Nelson, L. W.
Curtis and E. R. Stett, the ships surgeons.
They say that the outbreak of typhoid
fever on board is probably due to the position
Of the vessel, which lies where the tide
is too feeble to carry of the refuse and sewage
which has thus accumulated about it in such
quantities as to seriously taint the
atmosphere at low tide. Lack Of
proper facilities on the vessel for discharging
the refuse matter adds to the trouble. The
board recommends that these facilities be
added to the ship and that her
position be changed so that the tide will
carry off the sewage. These recommends
tions will be carried out by the department
The officers and boys have all been removed
TO land and have gone into camp and every
thing will be done to insure their comfort and
good health. The extent Of the outbreak is
not such as to warrant any fears Of
great casualty. But three boys out of popu-
lation Of about 600 have died. They are Chas.
W. Mossmayer, Ernest K. johnson and e. N. J..
Findlay.

The Compile de Paris Manifesto-Bat.
tenburg's Martial Genius.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-Notes have passed between
the French government and Lord Salisbury
concerning the recent manifesto Of the Compile
de Paris In which that naturally impatient
nobleman calls upon his countrymen TO over
throw the republic and save France by
placing him at the head Of affairs President
Carnot was persuaded that outward indifference
TO royaiist effusions of ink was the best
course to pursue, but the press of Paris has not

lease OF hope. The Boulangists are furious at

only true and original heir who will see that
they are duly rewarded for the repentance from
their errors when he comes into his Inherit
ance.
BArrESBpRe AND BULGARIA.
People are asking what underlies the sudden
discovery of the martial genius Of Alexander OF
Battenburg. who is to be given an important
rank In the Austrian army. The grave assert
ton that Won Moltke pronounces him strate-
gist OF the first class Is not here credited ana
the general belief is that the step is taken as .
significant reminder TO Russia that IL her in
trlguing TO drive Prince Ferdinand from the
throne OF Bulgaria should prove successful she
would only pave the way for Prince Alexander's
restoration, and he is regarded in St Peters
burg with even less love than is the present
ruler N Bulgaria.

Americans in London are somewhat sur-

Crops Bad I'm the Far North.

CHICAGO, Sept "a Times special from
winnipeg, Man., says: Thomas Anderson,
factor of the Hudson's bay company, in the far
off Pexo river cosntry, has arrived from the
north. He says the summer has been very dry
in the Pexo river region and against the
growth OF a crop. There has also been frost,
injuring the crop every where but at Dunvegan.
The woods are being destroyed along the south
side of the Pexo by the fires which have never
ceased all summer. The fire has driven out
the game and destroyed the berries SO there is
likely to be more hunger than ever this coming
winter. Unless rain falls the fires will be still
more destructive. The Beaver Indians, the
natives of the country, are dying out very fast,
but the st. Creese. who are coming in from the
Lesser slave lake and Edmonton are increasing.
