MARsHFIELD orr, Dec. IA. = The
schooner Annie Gee, which has been ly-
ing outside the Coos Bay bar for the past
i've days, arrived in this city in tow at
noon to-day. The Gee had on board three
of the sailors rescued from the disabled
and deserted steamer Maggie Ross, which
was towed into Yaquina Bay last Fri
day.
f. Bokland. one of the rescued men,
said:
AS we showed around Cape Arago on
Sunday night a storm struck us from the
southwest with great fury, blowing away
the sails. From that time we were at the
mercy Of the gale, and every wave dashed
over the vessel. The next day at II
O'Clock we cut away the deckload of lum-
ber, which carried the houses and every
thing with it. Steward Anensen was
killed on Tuesday, being crushed by the
lower house. Both ships boats We're stove
IN and rendered unseaworthy. The Annie
Gee came up with us on Tuesday morn
ing, and sent out her boat, which five of
us, including Captain Marshall and the
engineer, managed to reach, not, how
ever, until the second mate was lost over
board. Two of us had both of our legs
'The Captain and engineer, at their re-
quest, for the third time returned to the
Ross. preferring to chance their lives on
board the disabled vessel than in the frail
ships boat. I will take my chances
aboard the ship were the last words of
Captain Marshall. We left them with
one man dead on the deck, one overheard
and several others seriously injured.
With pieces of fence board, which we
managed to pick up, we struggled for
hours, with our boat filling and almost
sinking, until we were finally picked up
by the Annie Gee. Captain Marshall
seemed to be more anxious for the safety
of the crew than for himself. 1t is possi-
bic that they constructed raft. as that
was talked Of as last resort, though lack
OF material and their crippled condition
may have prevented this. There is vet
chance for them, but l have little hope"

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE list of casualties
caused by the storm is gaining fresh ac-
cessions. The most serious of ali the
Gi& sters is the wreck of The British ship
Entefkin, off Ramsgate, County Kent.
Ihirty lives were lost. After the Enter
KIN strUcil, part of the crew succeeded in
launching boat and got clear of the
ship, when they were almost immedi-
ately thrown into the sea by the swamp
ing OF the boat. A boy apprentice was
the only one of those remaining on board
the ship who escaped.
The Enteriin is wholly submerged,
The sole survivor Of the wreck states
that most of the crew wore cork Jackets,
which, however, were of no avail.
The wind to-day played great havoc in
this city. A large sign over saloon op-
posite Waterloo station broke loose from
It's fastenings, and i'll falling struck man
passing along the street and killed him.
The rain has been so heavy in the dis

BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), Dec. 1.-THE
eleventh annual National Convention Of
the Federation of Labor convened this
morning, being called to order by Presi-
present from all parts Of the United
States and Canada. Only routine busi-
ness was transacted to-day.
President Gompers, in calling the Fed
Grafton Convention to order, said he
wouldreserve the delivery of his annual
address until tomorrow. He then de-
ivered brief address of welcome. The
growth of the organization during the
past year, he said, had been phenomenal,
and the delegates before him represented
more than three-quarters of million Of
organized laborers.
Gompers, in conclusion, said: "Much
yet remains to be done, and the combina-
tiOnS against labor could only be COPIED
with successfully by compact and thor
ough organization of the wage-workers.
The perpetuity Of the institutions of our
country, the freedom of citizens, the bur-
den upon our sisters, the cry of children
for relief, demand that we labor with all
our power to relieve ourselves from the
great wrongs by which we are sur
rounded
At the conclusion of the Presidents adj
dress the convention went into executive
session.
General Secretary Evans, in present
ing his annual report said that while the
trade union movement is doing noble
work in the line of reform, they are not
making as rapid progress as they should,
and renewed efforts were urged. The re-
port showed that during the term ended
October 31st, 246 charters had been is
used to unions in thirty States. Charters
were also granted to ten national unions,
making total of 256 during the year.
The receipts of the year were S21, ,344 and
the expenditures $l3, 100, leaving bal
ance of IS, los. The statement was rem
dered notable by showing thatSthe total
outlay for salaries, account of the organi-
zation, with hundreds of branches and
membership Of 5000, was 81, 500.
In regard to the Council OF Federated
Trades of the Pacific Coast, the Com
mittee on Credentials referred the ques-
tion Of admitting delegates directly to the
case is the most important question
likely to come before the convention,
with the exception of the boycott.
Delegate Carter did not wish to oppose
the seating of the San Francisco delegates,
but questioned the wisdom of such ac-
ton. They should be careful lest they
encourage insubordination. They should
not let sympathy lead them astray.
Delegate Valentine of San Francisco
believed that if any local union was
guilty of insubordination it should be
suspended. The San Francisco Fedora
ton has been suspended for not paying
an assessment, not on account of the
money involved, but because they knew
it was unjust. Money was no object in
the matter.
Delegate Jones offered resolution that
q special committee be appointed to con-
slider the San Francisco case, and after a
prolonged discussion the resolution was
adopted.
Byron, Smead, Franklin and Shiels as a
committee, with instructions to report

Congress VIII Probably Vote Loan
of S5.OOO.OOO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Representative
Springer of Illinois, in speaking of the
action of the Board of Control of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition in decid-
ing to ask for an appropriation of five
millions instead of a loan of that amount
as at first contemplated, said: ''I do not
think there is any good reason to expect
Congress to make an appropriation of the
amount specified, for this Congress will
be quite chary in its expenditures. Con-
gress will, 1 am confident, make loan to
the board of that amount. For, guaran-
teed as 1t will be by the receipts, which
will aggregate three times the amount
asked, there will be no failure to have it
repaid"

Heads of House Committees,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Star says:
1t is not true that it has been definitely
settled that Springer will be the head of
the Committee onWays and Means, but it
is entirely probable that he will be chosen
for that position, being the most prom
inent of the Northern Democrats, from
whom the Chairman will probably be Sc
lected. 1t is probable that Mills, Nc
Millin and Wilson of West Virginia will
be appointed on the committee, together
with one man from New England, one
from New York, one from Ohio, one
from the South and one from the West.
The committee will probably be increased
to fifteen. 1t is practically settled that
Holman will go to the head of the

THE BALTIMORE INCIDENT.
An Ugly Feeling Against Americans in
Chile.


Chile.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-There is no
doubt of the truthfulness of the report
that on Saturday Secretary Blaine re-
ceived dispatch from Consul McCreery
stating that an ugly feeling against Amer
leans was again cropping out in Chile,
and that trouble of serious nature
might occur. About the same time there
came long cablegram from Minister
Egan, which was hastily deciphered and
at once placed in the hands of the Presi-
dent. This was to the effect that the
court OF inquiry into the bloody Balti-
more massacre would probably oppose
the claims of the United States, and
might probably be made the basis of
saucy and unsatisfactory note to Secre-
tary Blaine. The Minister thought the
Government should be advised of this
condition of things in advance.
The outlook for peace is not so promis-
ing as it was, and the President may send
his promised supplementary message to
congress on Chilean affairs sooner than
he thought.
1t is known that the relations between
Minister Egan and Consul McCreery are
not particularly cordial, and the fact that
they corroborated each other within an
hour gives added weight to the messages
received from them.
Consul McCreery has special means of
knowing what is transpiring in Chilean
Government circles. because he is prob
ably the only American in the country
who can go where he pleases and when
he pleaseS. He has lived so long in Chile
as to be almost considered Chilean, and
his domestic relations with the people
where he lives, as everyone knows, are
extremely close.
BECOMING EXCITED.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 14.-There is grow
ing excitement over the situation between
Chile and the United States, and the local
authorities are taking the precaution to
prevent any renewal of insult or injury
to Americans. Foreign residents gen
orally regard the prospects as serious.
The better class of Chileans appear to
think that the United States will not fight.
and that Valparaiso would be protected
from damage, should war break out. by
the English and Germans, on account of
the large interests of those nationalities
in Valparaiso.
