Heavy Loss Of L fe by the Sinking OF a
Steamer.
MONTREAL, QUE, May - "A serious
collision in the river this morning between
the Royal mail steamer POlynesian of the
Allan Line, commanded by Capt. Hugh
Wylie, and the steamer Cynthia, COM
msnded b. Capt. John Taylor, resulting
in the sinking of the latter vessel and the
less Of eight Of her crew. It appears that
there is dangerous curve in the channel
at this point, and that through some mis-
understanding of the rule Of the road
the POlyncsian was brought into collision
with the Cynthia, striking her on the port
bow, and causing such a gap in her side as
10 sink her in s few minutes, the vessel
filing with great rapidity. Those on deck
bed barely time to rush bslow and warn
the members of the crew who were of
watch and asleep.

The californian Knocks Out Tom Lees
Now for jackson.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The fight to
a finish between Jos McAuliffe, of San
Francisco, and Tom Lees, ex-champion OF
Australia, for a purse of 81, $50, took
place to-night under the auspices Of the
Golden Gate Athletic Club. Owing to
superior weight McAulife was the favorite
in the betting, weighing 200, and Lees
10. Both were in fine condition. There
was intense interest in the fight, as both
men have been defeated by Peter jackson,
the colored champion, and the winner will
presently have naother go at the dusky
giant.
McAuliffe had the fight from the first.
His size and long reach gave him an ad-
vantage. Lees made sorry show, and In
the eight round dropped his hands when
forced against the ropes, and allowed Nc
Auliffe to knock him senseless.

PITTsBURG, May 22.-With consider
able amount of certainty it can be stated
that the number of English window glass
blowers at Jeannstte will shortly be in
creased by the arrival Of another lot of for
eign wOrkmen from the same source.
Since the operation of the tank system
has proved to be such success, the pro-
prietors of the Jeanette works are anx-
ious to have their plant in full operation
as soon as possible, and, inasmuch as they
claim that there are no window glass blow
ers to be had in this country, foreign work
men have to be put into the vacant posi-
tions. There are now about 400 men at
work on the new tank in Jeanette. Yes
terdsy the fistteners started to work; TO-
day the cutters will commence, and to keep
all the men going blowers are wanted.
