Anxiety over the Umbria

LONDON, Dec. Gas the hours
lengthen with no tidings of the over
due steamer Umbria, anxiety increases.
Relatives and friends of those on board
continually visit the officers of the
company or ask by telegraph for intel
ligence, While the company's agents
profess to have no fear as to the safety
of the vessel, underwriters look upon
her as an extra hazardous risk and
reinsurance rates rose yesterday fIom
twelve guineas premium, a very high
rate, to twenty guineas. A broken
shaft would account for the delay, but
vessel men fear she may have struck
some floating wreck, a number of which
have been reported lately. Her sail
area, which is sufficient to work her, is
somewhat limited and she would make
slow headway by wind.

thorough search has failed to disclose
any one missing. By many it is thought
to be all imagination.
Mrs. Jack Kecumsakaichusan of the
reservation, presented her husband
with fine boy on Xmas eve, who will
in time spend few years in the school
house trying TO pronounce and write
his name.
On Friday evening last the village
school held their Christmas entertain
ment to crowded house. After the
rendering of the selections on the pro-
gram, delightful repast was served
which had been prepared by the ladies
of the village. Unstinted praise is due
those who took part in the entertain
ment, and especially to Miss Maltby
for the very efficient training she has
given her pupils. The school has
closed for a few weeks, but it is the
wish of many that when the board
meets next Saturday, that they may
decide to continue the term during the
winter months, as many who can at
tend now will be prevented from doing
so when the spring work commences.

day evening. Some days ago the

den having on board bride and groom
elect, the former "a Miss Bell, of Lyn-
den and Capt. John Killcup, the we'll
known seaman. 1t was intended to
make the run to New Whatcom where
the ceremony was to take place, but as
the steamer reached the mouth of the
river the ice had entirely blocked it up,
consequently the run had to be aband.
Oned. Justice Markamann was called
quietly to come and tie the knot, but
some little sOngster whispered the news
around town and in less than an hour
half hundred merry people marched
to the steamer to witness the happy
proceeding. Finding insufficient room
there all repaired to the residence OF
Mr.. n. J. Clark, while Justice M0rha.

ception followed when all at the invi.
tation of Capt. Kihcup went to the vii
lage hotel and 'tripped the light fan.

ARMOR PLATES.

Failure OF the Carnegie steel Company to
Fulfl Its Contract with the Government
VIII Cause Suspension OF Work on Two
War Vessels at Norfolk Navy Yard.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The proposed
suspension of the work of the large
number of worlSmen engaged in build
ing theicruiser Raleigh and the moni-
tor Amphitrite at the Norfolk navy
yard, on account of the failure Of the
Carnegie Steel Company to deliver ma
terial, has brought to the attention OF
the navy department the tardiness of
the company in complying with con-
tracts and an effort will be made to stir
up the firm to increased activity. The
delay is traceable to the lockout in the
Homestead works. No complaint has
been made to tine department by the
government steel inspector in the vari-
GUS Carnegie mills concerning the fall
ure of the company to comply with its
contracts
The department has been lenient
with the company because of the en-
barrassment caused by the condition Of
affairs at Homestead for the past three
months and it is not probable that any
steos toward the forfeiture of existing
contracts will be taken. The disposi-
ton Of the department is to give to tho
firm every advantage afforded by q
clause in its contract with the govern
meDt relieving the contractor from re-
sponsibility for delays caused by strikes
or unusual occurrences. The delay Of
delivery is principally in armor plates

In Bear River Valley, Idaho, Causes the
Loss OF One Thousand Cattle-Several
Houses Burned.
BOISE CITY, Idaho Oct Ain the
great prairie fire that ragged last week
in the Bear river valley more than 1000
head of fat cattle were burned to death,
nine houses and four cabins burned and
three herdsmen fatally injured. The
cattle were feeding in small valley on
Tuesday last A strong wind suddenly
blew sea Of fire down upon them
Before the cowboys could turn the
maddened animals the herd was sur
rounded by flames. The cattle huddled
in the middle of a clearing about mile
square in extent despite the efforts OF
the cowboys they again stampeded.
Many of them dashed into the midst OF
the flames where they perished in hor-
rible agony.
To save their lives the four cowboys
who were within the fiery circle at
tempted to force their horses through a
narrow belt of blazing timber. Before
they had gone ten feet the animals had
inhaled flames and dropped to ths
earth, their riders being compelled tc
run back to their starting place. Afte,
raging with great fury for nine hour'
the wind drove the flames onward ant
friends from neighboring ranges came
to the rescue Of the four cowboys
Three OF them are SO badly burned tha'
| they will die.

Recommended by the First Comptroller
of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Oct. A. C. Matthews,
first comptroller of the treasury, in his
annual report recommends Legislation
to protect the government in regard to
suits brought against the United
States; to the importance of some
statute of limitation which will fix
some time within which claims shall be
presented for payment against the gov
ernment; double compensation allowed
persons holding Office under the states;
collection Of balances due to the United
States and individual deposits for sur.
veying public lands These subjects
are of public Importance and in my
judgment the attention Of congress
should be invited to them"

Huron, S. D., Oct 10.-While men
were burning fire break around tree
claim eight miles northwest Of here
yesterday afternoon the fire got beyond
control and swept over vast stretch Of
country The wind was blowing forty
miles an hour and drove the fire so rap

useless The town of Broadland mar

An Attempt Mt Suicide Believed to Have
Been the Cause OF His Death.
BUFFALO, Oct 4.-Edward, S. Damn,
the bank wrecker, died at his home, on
Delaware avenue, at a o'clock last night,
after remaining unconscious over TWEEN
ty-four hours His family act very mys.
teriously. They have very little to say.
A great deal of mystery surrounds his
death. A friend of the family who did
not want his name revealed, stated last
night that Damn took large quantity
of opium on Saturday night and he
believes this resulted in his death.
The death of the defaulter has created
a sensation here, and the generally &c.
cepted theory as to the nature Of the
mysterious illness is that Damn com.
mitted suicide, taking heavy dose Of
morphine or some other poison. The
physicians who attended him declare,
on the contrary, their belief that he
suffered a stroke Of apoplexy and con.
fidently predict that the post-mortem
examination will confirm their theory.

CRASHED TOGETHER.

rive Persons Killed and Nearly q Score In.
jured in n Steamboat Collision on the Pa
cific.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 10.-The tug
Goliah, which arrived here at an early
hour yesterday morning, brings news
Of terrific collision between the steam
collier Willamette and the Canadian Pa
cific navigation company's steamer Pre-
mier. Five persons are dead as the re-
suit OF the accident and almost score
of others are badly injured.
The accident occurred off WILDLY
Island, about ten miles south of Port
Townsend, on Saturday afternoon, dur
ing thick fog. The vessels were 60
ing in opposite directions when the
crash came. The Premier, which is a
passenger, was struck nearly amidship
by the willamette, which was heavily
coal laden Two passengers in the
Premiers cabin were crushed to death
as was the steward, who was dining in
the saloon.
A large number of passengers were
iammed in the debris and badly hurt
One of these died shortly afterward.
The fifth person to die was woman
who became frantic when the crash
came and sprang into the sea. Her
name is unknown. The Willamettes
stem was deeply imbedded in the Pre-
nier and it was found impossible to
clear the vessels of each other after all
of the Premier's passengers were taken
aboard the collier It is fortunate that
the vessels were welded so firmly to,
gether by the crash. But for this the
Premier would have gone to the bot
tom and the loss of life would have
been very heavy. The Willamette and
the Premier have since been bcached.
The tug Goiiah brought the passen'
gers OF the Premier to this city, besides
three of the dead. Another body is in
the wreck, but is so firmly wedged in
the debris that it was found impossible
TO remove it.
