From the wrecked Steamer.

LONDON, November 1.-The cargo of the
wrecked steamer Roumania Is being washed
ashore all along the coast.
heavy fog prevailed at the time the
Roumania struck.
Among the dead are Mrs. Beatt an Irish
missionary who was returning to her huS-
band in India, and Miss McGeorge. a medi-
cal missionary of the Irish Presbyterian
church. 1t is thought that the recoyeries OF
the bodies will be slow, as the currents are
very treacherous and many of the dead will
be carried long distances from the wreck.
The steamer struck after her passengers
had retired, and it is believed that many of
them, awakened by the shock, rushed from
Their stateroOms to the upper deck, where
they were caught by the seas breaking over
the vessel, carried overheard and drowned.
1t is thought that in the cases where bodies
were found naked, the sea had torn the night
clothing off or else the bodies had been
stripped by the human vultures who had full
possession of the shores before the soldiers
arrived and drove them of.
Latest reports from Peniche are that two
women, Captain Hamilton, Lieutenant
Roche and i've Lascars were saved. The
wreck occurred at IL o'clock at night The
steamer struck in front of a small sea-coast
village, called Gronho, which lies near
Peniche. The scene of the wreck is desola-
ton itself Beyond few huts occupied by
mlserably poor fishermen, there is not a
sign of human life IN the vicinity. The coast
line is barren stretch of sand backed BY

assistance to reach wreck could be found.
The steamer had been driven out of her
course by the storm. and had lost her bear
inQs in the fog by which she was surrounded
after the storm had abated. She struck on a
mass of jagged rocks, and the sea soon broke
her to pieces.
Among the Roumania passengers were
Captain J. E Barrick, Captain B. n. Ran
dolph, Captain George Hamilton and wife,
Lieutenant b. B. Cook, Lieutenant Q. d.
HRnford aud wife, Lady johnson and child,
Rev. ]. s Maxim. Miss Burnbridge, of Liv-
erpool, and several English ladies who were
returning to India with children and nurses.
Almost all the officers of the ship were
Scotch Sixteen of the crew were Lascars.
A special to the Times from Lisbon says
many bodies from the Roumania have come
ashore at Eoz Das Cal Das. The most were
attired in their night clothing while the 9th
ems Were naked.

NEW YORK, November 3.-For the purpose
of discovering what style of machine would
be best adapted for hauling fast trains to
the worlds fair next year four locomotives
of the Pennsylvania railroad recently made
a mile on the Jersey Meadows. The engines
were from the different parts of the system
between New York and Pittsburg. Each en-
CINE drew two cars. They started from the
terminal station at Jersey City. The Bald
win compound and the Johnny Bull, an
English engine, demonstrated their utility
as drawers of heavy trains, but did not show
up so well on speed for mile. as they covered
the distance in sixty-three and sixty-five sec
Onds, respectively.
The Schenectady engine did the mile IN
Just hfty-three seconds, which is equal to
seventy-two miles an hour. This was con-
sidered good time, but the Pennsylvania

The President to His Neighbors.

Just before his departure from Indianap-
oils the president gave the press a note TO
the public, of which the following is copy
'.MY DEAR OLD FRIENDS AND NEIGHBoRs -
I cannot leave you without saying that the
tender and gracious sympathy which you
have shown for me and my children, and
much more, the touching evidence you have
given of your love for the dead wife and
mother, have deeply moved our breasts. We
yearn to tarry with you and to rest near the
followed spot where your loving hands have
laid our dead; but the little grandchildren
watch in wondering silence for our return
ana need our care, and some public business
wall not longer wait upon our sorrow.
''May gracious God keep and bless you
all. Most gratefully yours,
BENJAMIN HARRISON"

Scenes at the railroad Yard.

At Milwaukee the Northwestern railway
had an immense gang of men at work in its
yards, before the fire was done burning,
clearing away the wreckage. The view to
the east of the freight house, where some
thlng like 400 cars werS consumed, resem-
ble5 nothing 50 much as a gigantic brush
heap. Trucks of the cars are standing upon
the tracks, lying across them and between
them. How the heavy iron things ever got
INTO such positions cannot be imagined, un-
less one accepts the explanation of brake
man who swears that he saw the flames
''lift them up and fling them around" In
many places the steel rails, which were
spiked to the ties, ara warped so badly that
they must be replaced. The Northwestern
people are not even able at this time to ap-
proximate their loss. One locomotive and
about 400 cars is about what they lost off the
tracks. Many of them were loaded. The
only cargo that showed up after the fire had
done its work was one of Hubbard squashes.
They came through without being totally
destroyed, but they were exceedingly well
done.
In addition to the cars, the freight house
and all its contents were reduced to net re-
suit of four bare walls It will be several
days before the road can do more than guess
at the extent of the damage it has suffered.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
The New Union Depot-Ehective Closing
Up OF the Down Town
Pool Rooms.

Pool Rooms
ST.. LOUIS, October 31.-The birth Of q
suspicion in the minds of the Board of Pub
lie Improvements that the terminal roads
which are building the new Union depot in
tended to gobble up part of a street has led
to very full explanation of the plans of
the company. 1t was known that the build
ing was to occupy the.greater part of block,
and that it was to be the largest affair of the
sort in the country, but the full scope of the
plans was not understood. 1t develops now,
the structure being half finished, that its cost
Will be close to million dollars, with orna-
mentation as elaborate an art museum.
Four or five hundred trains day will pass
IN and out of the depot when it is finished.
The first cars will discharge their passengers
in it before the lights blaze in the streets of
the city next fall.
There Is a far greater demand in st. Louis
for expert electricians than can be filled, and
good men of this sort are almost naming
their own salaries. Gas for lighting, steam
for engines, and horses and cables for street
cars are being abandoned generally, and
electric plants are being put in everywhere.
There are two interesting signs of this situa-
ton. One is the establishment of a night
school for mechanical engineers, where they
are taught to apply their knowledge to cleo
trio machinery, and the other is the organiza-
ton of an electrical society, composed of
electrical inventors and scientists. This
8 banquet at which there were los plates.
The passage of the law by the Missouri
legislature, forbidding betting in the state
on races in other states, has had curious
result here. St. Louis has always had one
first class race track. the one at the fair
grounds, which is under the control of the
Jockey club. Under the old conditions, too,
there was one other out in Forest Park,
where amateur trials of speed were had. The
new law has brought into existence three
more tracks, one in the southern part of the
city, where the racing by electric light was
done at night last summer; another in East
st. Louis, Just across the river; and the third
across the river, too, near Madison The
company at the back of this last enterprise
have built a passenger depot at the foot of
Olive street, and run trains over the river
every afternoon, while the racing is going
on, at intervals of half an hour. The great
races of the city out at the fair ground 8
track take place in the spring and fall, and
as soon as they stop these other tracks begin
their winter racing. On the two tracks across
the river, of course, the Missouri law doesn't
apply, and the bOOk-makers swarm there to
get bets Oh the Eastern races. The tracks
are patroniZed principally by the St. LOUIS
people. and so the law accomplishes nothing
but the breaking up of the poOl-roOms in the
business alleys down town. This, by the
way. was the primary object of the legislators
who had it passed.

ST. LOUIS, November 1.-The experiment

points along the route, has been in progress
here for a week, and Is now in good
working order. The electric road, on which
the experiment. is being made, passes the
general pOstofice and collects and delivers
mail at the sub-stations three times daily,
expeditin0 delivery in the West End from
three to five hours. This Is really national
experiment. and Postmaster Harlow is re-
porting daily to Washington how it works.
He is enthusiastic over its success, and be-

Raising Money for the Homeless.

MILWAUKEE, November Fully 1900
people were made homeless by the terrible
confiagration. This is a very conservative
estimate and is based on the recent registra-

families have lost everything they had in
the world, and do not know where they Will
sleep. The weather. portion of the commu-
nifty is, however, coming to their support
to take measures for the relief of the home

the money received at its fair next week to
the sufferers, and So, 900 has been subscri bed
by democratic candidates for Office in this
county. Chairman Clark, of the republican
state central committee of Illinois, sent a
