291 PERSONS LOST.
The Brig Tahiti Capsizes in the
Pacific Ocean.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3o.-A dispatch
from Manzanilla, Mex, says the Ameri-
can steamer Roseville has arrived there
and reports passing wreck-that of the
brig Tahiti-at sea. She was floating bot
tom up, and the captain of the j Dseville
says she must have capsized. The rig
ging had been cut away on the side ap-
parently TO prevent this.
The Tahiti created a sensation Sept. 30
last by putting into brakes bay, near this
city, in distress. She had 210 Gilbert
islanders on board, under contract for
work in Mexico at starvation wages.
These men were practically slaves, and
there was much talk of seizing the vessel.
Collector Phelps, however, decided he had
no right to detain her and the brig left. 1t
seems almost certain that all on board
have been lost, as the ships boats were
still with ner, and nothing has been heard
Of any of the survivors.
The wreck must have happened at least
n month ago. Besides the islanders, the
vessel carried officers and n crew of twenty
one, making total of 29l on board.

President Palmer Talks About the
Progress Being Made.

S7O0, 900 to make the awards at the Worlds
Columbian exposition. This is the result
of the labors of the committee on awards

nesday afternoon.
President Palmer is in happy frame of
mind, and is confident that Congress will
make the additional appropriation of
S5.C00,0O0, so necessary to make the expo
sition success.
This additional S5,000000 is necessary
because of change in the plans aud a
subsequent enlargement of the scope OF
the exposition said Mr.. Palmer" We
wish TO make this exposition the greatest
the world has ever seen.
There can be no question, he contin-
ued, about the buildings of the exposi-
tion being ready in time for the opening.
They are now SO far completed that any
doubt that may have existed upon this
point has been long since removed. IL it
were necessary these buildings could be
completed by the first of July next. This
exposition is being laid out on n score
much more elaborate than that OF 1889 in
Paris
The French exposition covered only 200
acres, while ours will consist of GOO acres,
and over $50 of them under cover. Nearly
every nation on the globe will be repre-
sented ~
