SINKING OF THE AJAX.
Many More Lives Lost Than at FRS
Reported.

LONDON, Aug. ia special dispatch
to the NeVS from Helsingfors says: The
Captain of the steamer Runneborg.
which sank the pleasure steamer Ajax off
Helsingfors early last Monday morning.
says he ran his vessel on the wrong side
of the Ajax in order to avoid shallow
water. He pleads that he had no option
to do otherwise, because the Ajax did not
allow his vessel sufficient room.
Although the Ajax was licensed to
carry only seventy-five persons, she had
10 passengers aboard. The number of
lives lost is nearer eighty than forty,
the rush of steam light from the moon,
as we'll as from the vessels furnace and
lanterns showing hundreds of heads and
arms III the water struggling to catch hold
of anything that could be found. the
fight OF many to throw off those
ciinging around them, shrieks of women
and children, all combined made q scene
that Dore would have failed to paint.
Divers report many unhappy victims
now lying in a mass in the saloon
of the Ajax, the bodies and faces disfig-
ured and distorted to an extent dreadful
to behold, making it extremely difficult
to handle them.

BOISE Qdaho) Aug. 15.-An immense
glacial field has been discovered in an
unexplored region of Central Idaho, by
f. 3. Schermerhorn, geologist and min
eralogist, who is working in the interest
Of Idaho's exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
Under date of August Sth he writes to
Commissioner Weels, as follows:
AS / came over the divide into Big
Creek l saw away to the west, among the
high mountains, what appeared to be a
glacier. Inquiry at Big Creek developed
the fact that though two of the men in
camp had lived there several years, they
had never been able to get UP to that
snow. They also told me many had
tried it and failed. All had tried to take
horses with them. I determined to go
on foot. AS L advanced the signs of
white men decreased, until they disap-
peared altogether. The country through
which L made my way was the widest
and toughest of any through which 1
have ever travelled.
In point of grandeur and picturesque
ness the view from the peaks rivals any
thing in mountain scenery in the United
States. Beneath the glacier field l found
series of glacial lakes. The glacial
helds are quite extensive. They prob
ably cover nearly as great an area, though
not so thick, as the great glacial fields of
the Alps. l examined sixteen terminal
moraines. OF this number eleven were
Teceding, four stationary and only one
advancing. None that saw extended
more than 1000 feet below the snow line"
The writer says that the glaciers are
located about thirty-fve miles south
west of Shoup, amid number of very
high peaks that are not down on the
maps.

opinion with the Southern Pacific Com
pany and another copy with the Farmers
Alliance Business Association of Paso
Robes.
An opinion was also received from At
torney-General Hart to the effect that the
county officers cannot charge for services
rendered the State or county, and there
fore the bills rendered by certain Sheritfs
tor serving summons and complaint in
the case Of r. O. ShiVely VS.. all the rail

A British snip Has Some Marvellous
Escapes From Destruction.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The British ship
North, Captain Newson, at Sligo, from
Portland, Or, reports that on June 1lth
in 40 south, 80 west, she passed two
enormous icebergs, while many were
visible ahead. The North sailed with a
solid barrier of bergs ranging from 20 to
200 feet in hight, while the open water
was filled with great quantities of broken
ice. At 10 O'Clock on the night of June
18th the vessel was entirely surrounded
by ice, and it was feared that she would
be crushed, but fortunately toward morn
ing the winds changed and enabled her
to clear the bergs. She had many mar
Vicious escapes from destruction. The
bergs formed a break water fifty miles
long, resembling large volcanic island.
This report of the North bears out re-
ports from other vessels from around
Cape Horn that the ice drift from the
Antarctic Ocean this season is unprece-
dented, and that it has reached the most
nortEerly point ever known.

said Il am almost positive that L will

guilty OF planning the assassination of

Gated in the attempted assassination, but
merely because l admit | am an anarch-
list and say | am proud of it. Anarchists
do not believe in the murder of capital
lists. What possible good would it be to
me if my employers were to be blown TO
atoms by the ex plosion of a bomb? That
would not better my situation one bit.
Neither would 1t help the cause of an
