END OE A SUNDAY SAIL.
Nearly One Hundred Lives Lost I'm Col
Iigion I'm "a Fog.

IBy lo-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
LONDON, August 10.-Ful.er details of
the collision, attended by great loss OF
life, between steamers near the coast OF
Finland show that two coasting steamers,
the Ajax and the kuneberg, coIlided off
the port OF, Helsingfors, the capital OF Fin
land, on Monday last. Inc AJAX was load
ed with people from Helsingtors, who were
out for Sunday sail. The Runeberg was
III the cOastlng business. The Ajax had
started out on Sunday and been delayed
on the return by u heavy fog. The cap
tain concluded to proceed slowly into port
and was not at high speed when the col
lslon occurred.
The Runeberg, owing TO the fog, had no
notice of the approach OF the Ajax, and
was going at ordinary speed. The Rune
berg struck the Ajax near the centre, shat
tering that steamer SO that the water
flowed in in torrent.
The passengers on the Ajax were nearly
all Swedish Firms. They behaved with
notable courage in the awful situation.
The men pushed the women and the
children to the life-buoys thrown out by
the Runeberg, and took their chances al
struggling in the water. There was no
time to lower boats, as the Ajax sank al
most instantly, carrying down nearly 100
persons.
The Runeberg was badly injured and
could not have renamed ahoat long, but
her captain stood by as long as possible to
save ali that he could of the AlaX's pas
sengers and crew. Eighty-six persons are
missing and thlrty-nine bodies have been
recovered.

British Press Comment Thereupon-"A
Masterpiece of AdroIt Elusiveness."
[By Anglo American cable TO the Dispatch.l
LONDON. August 10.-1he Standard in an
editorial says 1t is clear that Mr.. Glad
stone cannot long count on the support of
either of the Irish parties. While he
ignored Mr.. Redmond's questions. IL is
doubtful whether the assurances he has
given to Mr.. Mccarthy will be satisfying
to the Nat,onalists either III Ireland or
America"
The Caronicle says: I'VE doubt whether
the Grafton delivered by Mr.. Gladstone
Will be ranked among his finest efforts. 1t
is only when he stands at bay that his
oratorcal genius scars TO the higher
flights. Yet II was masterpiece OF adroit
elusiveness. Everybody knew that while
he dealt laboriously with the speeches OF
MIR. Goschen and Mr.. Mccarthy. 1t was only
MIR. Redmonds demands that troubled
him, and he solved the problem with con-
summate skill and dexterity. Nobody can
say that he ignored Mr.. Redmond. yet no.
body can say that he even once recognized
his existence"
The Chronicle contends that the most i'm
portant passage In the speech was the
promise TO proceed with the Newcastle
programme. even If the House of Lords
rejected the home-rdle bill. Nothing, the
ChrOaicte says, Is wanted TO whip up Eng
lish opinion in favor of home rule but an
obstinate refusal OF the peers to deal with
the matter IN prudent spirit.

Flags Flying IN Token of victory-New
Town at Homestead.
rBy telegraph TO the pispatch.l


PITTsBuRo, August 10.--A large American
flag raised yesterday on Carnegie's Upper
Union mills excited some curiosity among
the strikers, and to-day Superintendent
Dillon says il was foated as an emblem of
victory. Every train of rolls In the plant
is now in operation on single turn, and
before the end OF the week. Superintendent
Dillon claims the mill viii be on double
turn. A flag was raised at Duquesne to-
day, aud Superintendent Potter says he
will also float one over the Homestead
mills. About 200 men are es work at the
Union mills and nearly 400 at Homestead.
DuQuesne Is in need Of few more men to
put the mill on double turn.
Preparations 10 provide permanent
houses for the Homestead men are rapidly
going on, and work has already COM
menced on twenty-five of tho 100 houses
to be erected. 1t is expected that at least
fifty houses will be built before cold wea-
ther. and that the remainder viii be under
way by that time. This. new town will be
built IN the upper part of the city on farm
property purchased by the company. IL
has already been laid out into lots, and
will be a model town, with water, gas,
sewerage. and electric lights.

MALONE HAS THE SULkS.
Democratic Prospects in Virginia and
West virginia Are Bright.

A Washington special to the World says !:
Congressman w. j.. Wilson will remain IN
Washington for short time to get much
needed rest after the long and trying ses-
sion of the House. He said TO the World
correspondent to-day about the outlook as
TO West Virginia:
THE State ordinarily is close. with the
advantages slightly in favor of the Demo
Gratis. But this year promises to be an I'M
usually good year for the Democracy
there. This was made apparent by the
spirited contests at the State convention
for the places on the State ticket. That Is
an infallible sign of strong party conn
dence. While the nominations are much
sought after there need DO no doubt that
success at the polls seems assured.
ION the other hand. when the nomiDa-
tions go begging. or what is the same
thing. when the leading men OF party
are seen declining 70 represent 1t in q race,
the rank aud file are never buoyant.
1.-The Democratic convention was the
largest in the history of the State, and the
ticket nominated Is excellent throughout.
Still, bright as the prosr ects of success
are, the Democrats are preparing Tor a
vigorous campaign. Every sxertlon VIII
be put forth 10 make assurance douoly
sure"
Mr.. Wilson, whose district is very close.
will take the stump in September. The
hope of the Democratic leaders IN other
States is that he may not find it necessary
to spend his whole time at home. he IS
one of the brightest men and best speakers
in the country, and the desire to hear him
is general throughout the country.
Turning from West Virginia, Democratic
prospects seem equally promising in Old
Virginia. In 1885 the Democratic majority
in the Old Dominion was small. But that
year the Republicans were united, and
General Malone was unusually active.
This year Malone seems 70 be In the
dumps. He opposed the Presidents re-
nomination at Minneapolis, and he re-
turned from the convention not only
beaten but thoroughly Disguised. Nothing
has as yet been done by lin or by any OF his
followers looking to the waging OF an
earnest campaign this fall.
He has called meeting of the State
Committee, which he controls, and there
will be the outward sign of an earnest con-
ference, but the feeling 10 abroad among
the Republicans in the State that Malone
takes little interest in the situation, and
would not turn his hand over TO influence
the result.
There Is small element of the party in
Virginia which chafes under MahOne's
domination, and with au opportunity
might take the field actively and earnestly
for the national ticket, but Malone has
possession of the party machinery, aud
without his cooperation, and especially
against his secret opposition, no apprecla-
bic Roadway could be made.
