STEAMSHIPS COLLIDE.
An Awful Disaster OF Port Townsend,
wash.-Five Lives Lost-Many Persons

An Awful Disaster of Port Townsend,
wash.-Five Lives Lost-Many Persons
Hurt.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 1O.-The Cana
dian Pacific Navigation Company's
steamer Premier was struck by the
steam collier Willamette in a dense fog
off WILDLY island, about 10 miles south
of Port Townsend, at . o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Four men were killed, one
drowned and seventeen badly injured.
The steam tug Goliath has arrived here
with three of the dead, all of the
wounded and the other passengers The
dead are:
Johannas Moe, of Tacoma, aged 4o motorman
on the electric line; Frank G. Wyncoop, IS
years old son Of D. ]. Wyncoop, Tacoma;
John Rankin, waiter Seattle, aged 25; un-
known passenger, man about 40, still in wreck;
unknown passenger, jumped overheard and
drowned.
The Premier left Port Townsend
about 1870 for Seattle, in heavy fog.
She was blowing her whistle continu-
ously. When off Point No-Point an
other vessel sounded close by, and al
most Immediately afterwards terrific
crash was heard The fore cabin of
the Premier was smashed to splinters
and the Prov of the Willamette was
found janmed right into the bow Of
the Premier.
The Willamette was laden with coal
and was on her way from Seattle to
San Francisco. There were several
men in the Premier's cabin, one of
whom was killed, together with boy.
A steward who was in the saloon eat
ing his dinner was instantly killed.
Several other passengers were jammed
in the debris. Some. of them
were seriously wounded and all more
or less bruised. The stem of the Will
lamette was so deeply i'm bedded in the
Premier that the passengers scrambled
over the broken woodwork and on the
collier. The women were handed up
first, followed by the wounded as fast
as they could be moved. Men with
broken limbs, and both men and
women with bleeding faces and bodies
We're helped up. 1t was soon seen to
be impossible to draw of the Willamette
without sinking the Premier, so Capt.
Anderson determined to forge ahead,
driving before him the steamer spiked
on his bow. He forced her back on the
beach and was so tightly wedged that
he could not back off without dragging
the Premier with him. The tug Co.
liah, towing out schooner, was hailed
and she took off the passengers, bear
| ing them to Seattle. The receding tide
| left both vessels stranded and still in
| terlocked.

MRS. HARRlsoN's CONDITION.
Although Critically III, Her Case Is Not
AbaOluteIY Homeless.

Absolutely Hopeless.
WASHINGTON, Oct 7.-Aside from the
usual changes characteristic in con-
sumptive cases there has been no par
ticular alteration in the condition of
Mrs. Harrison since she was bought to
Washington from Loon Lake about
two weeks ago. Although critically
i'll and in condition where a new
complication might speedily prove
fatal, her case is not absolutely hope
less and instances are known where
persons in similarly extremely dam
gerous condition have so far recovered
as to enjoy comparatively fair health
for years. Such instances are rare,
however.
The presidents family and friends
cling to the hope that Mrs. Harrison's
case may prove one of the exceptions
to the rule. The great danger to be
feared is the reproduction of fluid in
the chest cavity which might gather in
twentyfour hours and prove fatal,
especially if the patient could not bear
the operation of aspirating Mrs. Har-
rison's right lung is entirely CONSOLE
dated, so that she has no use of it
whatever. The left lung is not in
volved.
Although anxious for prolonged life,
the patient does not exhibit that cheer
fulness and hopefulness that is usually
so apparent in the case of consump-
tives. This is due to the extreme
nervous exhaustion from which she
suffers. Ever since the COM
mencement of her illness she has
been affected with extreme nerv-
GUS prostration, and this has
doubtless had very much to do with her
present condition. This extreme pros
tration has been one great cause which
has operated against her rallyfng Her
mind is perfectly clear and she takes a
certain amount of nourishment each
day. 1t consists principally of raw
eggs in a little wine and pep
sin. 1t is not from desire to
eat, however, that she takes the
nourishment, but merely as a sense of
duty and as medicine. Her coughing
spells are not violent and do not worry
the invalid very much except on rare
occasions. Sleep during the night
comes to her in periods of from one to
two hours at a time and this without
the aid of opiates. She has very fair
nights, being restless only at times.
Two or three hours of sleep are OBJ
tanned in the day time, but is not of a
refreshing character.
Probably the most noticeable result
of Mrs. Harrison's illness is great
emaciation. Her appearance last year
was that of a strong, healthy and v;g-
orous person who did not know what
it was to be i'll, and the change that
has come over her is said to be most
perceptible. Before she was i'll Mrs.
Harrison weighed 1877 pounds, and it is
said that she has lost during her pros
tration between forty-five and fifty
pounds.

toraI Candidates for an Equal Number
of Their Own Nominees.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct 1.-THE most
sensational incident of the campaign
in Minnesota occurred at 2:30 Monday
afternoon when Peter j. Smalley, Sec
retary of the democratic state central
committee, appeared at the secretary's
Office at the state capitol and
filed the names of the candi-
dates of his party for presidential
electors. A scrutiny of the list re-
vealed the fact that four of the dem
ocratic presidential electors, d. r.
Hibbs, A. l.. Sackett, James Brown
and John c. Oswald, had been with
drawn and four Weaver electors SUBJ
stituted in their stead. This is the last
day for the fling of nominations, and
consequently no further changes can
be made.
The managers of the populist cam
paign deny that they had hand in
any deal. They say it is purely vol
untary action on the part of the demo
Gratis. Chairman Lewis Baker, of the
democratic state central committee,
was asked Monday afternoon if the
substitution of the peoples party cleo
tors was the result of a conference be-
tween his committee and that of the
peoples party. He replied:
mo, we have had no conference whatever.
Three or four of our electoral candidates.
Messrs Hibbs Sackett and Oswald rendered
their rcsignations 10 the committee for the
reason that they were connected with national

There the final services We're held.
The ropes We're adjusted and Brown
cried: I'm going home to die," and
showed very little feeling. Williams
said: ''Good-by, everybody" At this
point he protested against his
hanging. At 11:l5 the trap fell,
killing both instantly. Both necks
We're broken and there was not
twitch of the body after
ward. The crime for which Williams
suffered death was the killing of Mayor
Henneman of Spartanburg, and Mildred
Brown, who is only l3 years old, for
the murder of baby because its flasher
upbraided her for n small offense.
William Wilson was hanged at Ander-
son,a l1:l5 a. m, for cruelty numbering
his wife. He came out of the Jail yard
at IL O'Clock and prayed continuously
till the drop fell at 11l5. His neck was
broken and he was pronounced dead in
twenty-eight minutes. He was cut
down in thirty minutes.

of her infant February % last. She
was convicted of having secreted the
child in field on the day of it's birth
and having deserted it, thereby causing
it's death The hanging took place in
the Jail building. Death was almost
instantaneous. The woman protested
her innocence to the last and evidently
seemed unprepared to die.

CARACAS, Oct, 10. - Gen. Joaquin
Crespo was accorded an enthusiastic
reception upon his triumphai entry
into Caracas Sunday. He marched into
the capital at the head of the remainder
of his army, 5000 men having taken
possession of the city Saturday.
A council of his officers and advisers
was held and the result was the procla-
nation of Crespo as provisional
president of the republic. He
is to hold Office only until the
regularly elected congressman
shall have had time to meet again and
proceed to the election of constitu-
tional successor to ex-President Raj
mundo Andueza Palacio.
Crespo then issued proclamation
naming the following cabinet:
Minister of foreign affairs. Pedro Ezequiel
Rojas: minister Of the interior, Leon Colina;
minister of finance, Senior Pietro; minister Of
war, Guzman Alvarez; chief of police, Gen.
Victer Rodriguez chief of telegraphs, Leo
poldo Baptista: minister of public works. Mu-
noz Tebar; minister OF instructions, Silva
Gaudolphy general in chief, Ramon Guerra
governor of Caracas Senior Andrade.
These are all well-known Venezue-
lans who have aided the cause of the
legalists by active service in the field
or by financial contributions. The pro-
visional cabinet gives general satisfac-
ton. 1t will restore order throughout the
distracted republic. The rumors con-
cerning the escape of the de facto presi-
dent, Villegas- Pulido, and his minis
ters are confirmed. They managed to
get vessel bound for Martinique. 1t
is said to be their intention to proceed
to France

Failure In Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. lO--The Omaha
Barbed Wire Fence and Nail Company
failed Saturday for $50, 900, a chattel
mortgage of $4,000 being given to the
Omaha national bank and one for Sl6,-
600 to the Washburn-Moen Manufac-
turing Company of Chicago. Mr..
Tiffany, the principal stockholder,
says creditors will be paid in full,
while stockholders will lose all. The
reason assigned is that the barbed
wire trust has been crowding the
smaller factories closer and closer and
has cut prices where it was impossibls
TO compete with it.

THEY LOVE CORRUPTION.

Populist Leaders Ask Aid From Democrats
to Garry Western states and From Re-
pubIicans to Carry Southern states.
While populist leaders have been seek
ing aid from the national democratic
committee in their efforts to carry west
ern states for Weaver because this
would aid Cleveland, it has been discOv-
cred that they have sought financial
aid from the republican national COM
mittee TO be used in the southern states
for the ostensible purpose of aiding
Harrison by carrying states heretofore
democratic. The western and southern
states have for two years been covered
with swarm of alliance speakers, men
who found life desolate waste until
they tasted the sweets of many collec-
tions, and now they are 10th to give
up the rich pasturage that has been
theirs for two long years. These men
have shown that they are without prin-
ciple, because they have solemnly de-
clared in favor OF certain alleged re-
forms and then deliberately abandoned
them when they saw that the public
recognized the weakness there was in
them. They have taken advantage of
discontinued people because there
was money in such a course. Like
ghouls they have fattened upon the
corpse at their doors, for have they not
fed solely upon the disasters and tribu-
lations of their neighbors and friends
who lost their all either through i'm
providence or bad crops?
But their day has passed In the
south there has been an awakening,
and men who had gone into the new
movement are returning to the demo-
cratic fold 1t is not too early to say
that not a single southern state will
give its electoral vote to Weaver. Hav-
ing involved the north in this contest,
the southern leaders keep up appear
ances only to draw aid from the repub-
icans In Georgia and North Carolina
alliancemen have broken into a mad
rush back in their haste to return to
their old party affiliations
As it is in the south so it is in Kansas,
though not to SO great an extent. The
leaders are frantically appealing to
their former followers to remain faith
full, making pledges with no intention
OF keeping them. OF all the candidates
of that party, as well as the lecturers,
there is but one honest man among
them, and even he is tinctured, for he
does not and will not accept the pecu-
liar doctrines that mad men have caused
to be adopted VIII honest mem follow
these sO-called leaders?

CHAPTER vi.

1t was indeed true that King Clari-
mond had abruptly received tidings
which told him his mother had Just
crossed the Saltravian frontier. Be
tween the princess and himself relations
of most frosty character had existed
for several years. Few people, however,
remained long on good terms with the
princess. Her disposition was now
merely overbearing; it brimIned with all
the worst bigctries of the dark ages,
and to say of her that she believed in
the ''divine rights of kings would have
been mildly to express her mental saw
agery. The course Of her son and only
child, Clarimond, had almost madGened
her since his accession TO the throne.
She had detested his father, her
first husband, the Archdul1e Conrad,
and in Clarimond she saw the paternal
traits accentuated, made more hideous,
more nauseating. Conrad had pre-
sumed in her presence TO air his loath-
some republican doctrines, and his
early death had seemed to her like a
heavenly vengeance for such audacity.
Marrying soon afterward an old Italian
prince of great wealth and extreme con-
servatism, she again became a widow
before it even vaguely entered her head
that the son whom she had left with his
tutors and guardians in Saltravia stood
the remotest chance of ever being king.
The princess adored Italy, and shrank
