Only One Noble Retnrned-Fifty-N Nine
Persons Drowned at the Launching
OF q Sailing Vessel.

SAN Francisco, July 9.-The steamship
Gaelic arrived this morning, twenty-five
days from Hong Kong and fourteen days
from Yokohama.
The Japan Mail states that a rumor was
prevalent that Russia had seized an island
of the coast of Corea and that the Eng
lish ships Leander and Severn were under
orders to keep up steam and be ready to
proceed to sea at moments notice if re-
CURED. The Japan Gazette states that H.
NJ. 5. Palos left Nagaski suddenly June

BILE that the United States steamer Omaha
would go on to Corea from Kobe.

Swaton June 6, was gotten off and re-
paired, and was expected at Hong Kong

ing returned. Twenty-Five of these are
farmers by occupation, fifteen are mer-
chants, and only one is a noble.
At Olaka, Japan, fifty-nine people were
drowned June Is during the launching of

considerable interest, and about 200 people
crowded on board the boat. The owner,
Mr.. Kinx, however, became apprehensive
and ordered 100 of them ashore. When
the launch commenced it was ebb tide, and
as the ropes used in securing were too
short the vessel keeled over, the people on
board Immediately rushed to the other
side, which had the effect of turning the
vessel completely over, and those on board
were precipitated into the water. A terri
BILE scene ensued. Those on the shore
rendered every assistance possible, but
their efforts were generally unavailing.
Fifty-fve bodies have been recovered, and
four persons are still missing. About
twenty persons were more or less injured.
The vessel was found to have had the bot
tom badly injured.

He Takes Luncheon With American
Rifiemen and Tells Stories.
BERLIN. July 8.-The Independent New
York Shooting Corps, in full uniform, paid
visit to Bismarck today. William Weber
expressed thanks for the privilege given
them of visiting the great man to whom
Germany owed her unity. Bismarck ex-
pressed pleasure at the visit and
said he had always striven to
maintain good relations with
America. In his opinion it would have
been foolish to quarrel for such small
question as that of Samoa, and he had
therefore worked energetically to effect an
amicable settlement.

ex-chancellor was in CHEEKY mood, and
related many interesting anecdotes of his
life

holders of which are principally English
men. The Pineville Company's plant was
offered to Churchill for 81, 500, 900.
This would have been accepted but for a
conflict between the managers of the Pine
vile Company. The President of that COM
pany controls the majority of the stock; but
the General Manager, Mr.. Ray, has ma
jority in the Board OF Directors. The for
mer gave lower option than the sum of
81, ,800, ,090. and the Churchill people hearing
of it refused to pay that sum. 1t is very
probable that negotiations will be again
opened up. The East Tennessee and Vir-
ginia and Georgia people are after the
Pineville property.
