LONDON. Jam. IA dispatch from
Hong Kong says that the steamship
Namchow has foundered OIL Cup HI
Point. and that Al persons, including
the European crew Of the ship, have
been drowned.
The steamship Meifoo brought the
news OF the wreck of the Nainchow.
From the few details which have
reached here 1t appears that the pro-
peller shaft of the Namchow snapped IN
two while that vessel was plunging in
heavy sea, the regulators not having
power enough 10 control the shaft while
the propeller was whirling out OF water
during q head plunge.
When the shaft was carried away the
sea rushed into the shaft alley, which.
with that part OF the stern OF the vessel
from which the shaft protruded, was
badly damaged by the accident. The
water quickly made its way into the
hold, the steam pumps were put to work.
but the fires Of the engine room being
extinguished by the rising water, they
were soon useless, and the Namchow be-
gan to settle down.
When the first signs Of danger became
known there was terrible panic among
the Chinese passengers on board. The
European officers did everything posi-
ble.to allay the fears Of the passengers,
but in vain.
! Terrible struggle for Life.
The Chinese acted more like lot. Of
raving maniacs let loose than like humnil
beings in their senses. They crowded
into the boats, and so hampered the Off
GERS and crew In their eefforts to lower
them that it was soon seen that escape
by that means was an impossibility.
4 The panic stricken Chinese were mol
to be cowed TO order. even by the pistols
of the officers, and the doomed steam
ship went down with the Chinese and q
few Europeans battling desperately FOL
possession Of the boats, for life belts, for
spare spars or other means OF safety.
Several of the boats, partly lowered
were overturned as the vessel was sink
! ing by the crowd Of Chinese who hnf
,, forced their way into them. Sevtfa
Chinese and Europeans are reported II
! have been killed by knife thrusts an,
pistol shots during this horrible struggl,

clinging to floating wreckage when res.

Indignation.
WAsHIGTNoN, Jan. l4.-The recent de
yelopments in reference TO the Chilean
situation are watched with the closest
interest here The president, it is un-
derstood, is very much stirred up over
the matter. He feels that Chile has
dawdled long enough, and that IL she
intends to do the proper thing she ought
to do it at once, and If not it is the duty
Of his government to take such steps as
will compel her to. Whether all Of the
members of his cabinet are OF the same
opinion is uncertain. 1t is still whis-
Pered that Mr.. Blaine is for peace. But
1t Is learned from good authority that
the president does not see that peace can
continue with honor unless Chile takes
the step which she has so long promised
to do and has not DONE 1t is learned
from reliable authority that the president
in conversation on the subject said that
he could not with propriety delay the
matter longer, and that so soon as he
should receive the detailed report of the
testimony taken at San Francisco he
should send a message to congress upon
the subject.
A Warlike Outlook
1t really looks very warlike today.
Those who are in position to know say
tnat the Chileans nave promised every
thing and done nothing. They have
been saying all along they were going
70 apologize, but have not done It, and
the president Is OF the opinion that these
statements are being given out merely
Tor effect IN order TO gain time. Mean
time It y understood that our vessels in
the south Atlantic waters are quietly
making their way toward the Straights
OF Magellan, and Chile may be surprised

The WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1892.

Conservative people who do not
believe that good government is
dependent upon partisan politics, are
considerably amused at the marked
concern evinced by the party leaders
at the evident lack of interest
manifested throughout the country
in the outcome of the approaching
election. Only about month of the
campaign now remains, and the
politicians have not yet succeeded in
working the people up to any degree
of excitement The voters of the
country seems to be calmly weighing
the issues involved, and il the
majority of them have decided how
they will vote they have refused to
satisfy the consuming curiosity of
the ''leaders. The general feeling
Is that there will be light vote cast,
and that there will be more
Independent voting and more break
ing away from old party lines than
in any previous election in the coun-
try's history.
