PHILADELPHIA. Jan. I3.-The stock market
was unsettlea. The changes in prices were moi
important until late in the afternoon, when
the selling movement in New York extended
to Reading and affected the balance of the list

showed some weakness. There WAS some ac-
tivity in Pennsylvania and the stock was firm,
The Huntingdon and Broad Top stocks were
strong, the announcement of the dividends
leading to sharp demand for the common

STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
Terrible Scenes at the Sinking of
Chinese Steamer.
OVER FOUR HUNDRED DROWNED.

The European Oficers Unable to
Control the Panic Stricken Pas
sengers-Six Survivors Rescued by
Passing Steamer Tell the Story
of the Disaster. 49,. .
LONDON, Jan. 14.-A dispatch from
Hong Kong says that the steamship
Namchow has foundered off Cup Hi
Point, and that 414 persons, including
the European crew of the ship, have
been drowned.
The steamship Meifoo brought the
news Of the wreck of the Namchow.
From the few details which have
reached here it appears that the pro-
peller shaft of the Namchow snapped in
two while that vessel was plunging in
a heavy sea, the regulators not having
power enough to control the shaft while
the propeller was whirling out of water
during 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 We're put to work,
but the fires of the engine room being
extlnguished 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 a terrible panic among
the Chinese passengers on board. The
European officers did everything possi-
bile to allay the fears of the passengers,
but in vain.
Terrible Struggle for Life.
The Chinese acted more like lot of
raving maniaos let loose than like human
beings in their senses. They crowded
into the boats, and so hampered the Off
GERS and crew in their efforts to lower
them that it was soon seen that escape
by that means was an impossibility.
The panic stricken Chinese were not
to be cowed to order. even by the pistols
of the officers, and the doomed steam
ship went down with the Chinese and a
few Europeans battling desperately for
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 had
forced their way into them. Several
Chinese and Europeans are reported to
have been killed by knife thrusts and
pistol shots during this horrible struggle
FOR life.
The steamship Meifoo rescued six sur
viyors, who furnished this account of
the wreck of the Namchow. They were
clinging to floating wreckage when res
cued. The Namchow is described as an
Anglo-Chinese trading steamship en-
gagged in the coasting trade in Chinese
waters
