Six Passengers Lost.
ASTORIA orr, Nov. 3.-The British ship
Strathblane, sixteen days from Honolulu
in ballast, went ashore twenty-five miles
north Of here at 3 O'clock this morning.
She is a total wreck. She lies abreast OF
Shoalwater Bay, Wash, well up on the
the sand. The masts and rigging are all
gone, and her hull is fast going to pieces.
In an hour the Cape Hancock life-saving
crew and large number of men from
Ilwaco, Wash, reached the scene of the
wreck on special train. It was low
water when the vessel struck, and a
heavy gale was blowing.
The life crew worked braYely, and men
went up to their necks in the waves.
One boatload of eight men came ashore
and reported twenty-three more on
board. The waves We're sweeping clear
over the vessel. All were gotten safely
ashore except six, who were drowned:
Captain Cuthill. Richard Hughes, car
penter; Thomas Hunter, cook; Donald
Mcleod, seaman: passenger, a lawyer
from Honolulu named William Lewis,
and another man, name unknown. -Four
bodies were recovered.

She has not been reported since leaving.

Constitutional Convention was over

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-Charles J. Hol-
lywell, who owns farm near Redwing,
claims TO have discovered what may be
called an electric well. Some weeks ago
he employed two professional well-dig-
gers to drill a well. They had gone about
$50 feet when they lost their drill rods
and diamond drill. The whole business
had dropped to nowhere in an instant.
There was quite force of air coming out
of the hole and the men said there was no
use going further because there was not
any bottom. They concluded to fish for
the rods and drill, but as soon as rods
We're dropped into the hole they began to
shiver in queer way. One of the men
took hold of the bar with pair of leather
gloves and he was knocked down. Hol-
lywell touched the rope and got shock
because it was wet. There seems to be a
perfect natural storehouse of electricity.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-A special to the

morning. While Daniel G. Jones, one of

Judge Lea because of certain questions
the Judge propounded to witness. Moore
said: THE court appeared inclined to
act the part of examiner as well as Judge.
He had stood it all along and kept his
mouth closed, because the court was sup
posed to hold the scales of justice unbaI-
anced.''
''Stop, Mr.. Moore" said Judge Lea ::

your objections entered on the records.

duty to elicit all the facts, either for or
against the State.''
But" replied Mr. Moore, ssyour honor

from you," said Judge Lea, sharply. "If

can see me elsewhere"
Quiet was then restored and the exami-
nation proceeded.
