The Conemaugh Disaster.


Flour shippers throughout the West
were greatly worried when they learned
that the steam er Conemaugh had gone
to the bottom Of Cetro,t River, the re-
suit of collision with the steamer New
York, of the Union Line.
j. G. Evans, agent of the Anchor
Line, stated that the Conemaugh had
on board about / 200 tons Of four from
Chicago, 900 tons from Milwaukee, and
about 400 tons OF general freight Turn

sacks, $50 barrels; Winona, eco sacks;

sacks; Minneapolis, 1895 sacks; Quincy,

for export, the sacks weighing 140 and
$50 rounds. In addition to this there
were 500 pigs Of lead, 400 sacks of bran,
622 sacks OF olcake. Milwaukee's part

The recent earthquake in Central and
Northern California occasioned phenomena

From these narrow openings in the earth
large quantities OF water OF various tenn

since. In some places the water is ice cold,
while in others it Is warm, reaching IA tenn
perature OF 100 degrees. The Polpulo ranch
has always been noted for its many springs,
but the recent earthquake has opened up
many new ones some hot and some cold.

CAN'T KEEP OUT PAUPERS.
Canada Unable tn Stop the Stream of
Destitute Immigrants.

Sanhua tnaDle I'D stop the stream or
Destitute Immigrants.
1t will be remembered that the Cana
dian Minister of Agriculture took the
first steps toward prohibiting the immi-
grafton of pauper Russian-Jews by re-
Questing the signature of the Governor
General to proclamation carrying into
effect that clause of the immigration act
which prohibits the landing OF destitute
immigrants
The Minister of Justice, however, saw
possible danger ahead, and requested
that no action be taken until it was
learned what decision the United States
courts had rendered with regard to
case then before them as to the defni-
ton OF the pauper immigrant. Sir John
Thompson, Minister Of Justi g, il Is un-
derstood, held that to establish the fat
of an immigrant being pauper il would
first be- necessary for him to beg, ami to
do that he would have TO land.
The matter still remains in allegiance
as regards the landing OF pauper Jews
in Canada, and it Is doubtful whether,
in view of the recent decision of the
United States Courts, any further action
will be taken under the present statute.
In well-informed legal circles 1t is con-
tended that further legislation of the
Dominion Parliament will be necessary
before any prohibtory steps will be at
tempted to prevent these russian refu-
gees landing in Canada.
