ALL LOST BUT ONE.
Eighty Persons Drowned by the Sinking Of
a Haytian WarShp.

New York, Sept. pa report Of the
sinking of the Haytien warship Alexan-
Dire Potion was received in this city last
evening All on board with one eX-
ception were lost All told eighty were
drowned. Among the number We're
many prominent officials and diplo-
mats of the republic. The
cause of the disaster is I'M
known The news of the disaster was
brought to this city by ex-Mlnlster to
Hayti j. S. Durham, who arrived ON
the steamer Prince Wilhelm |. from
ton occurred on September 6, about
fifty miles south from Cape Tbero. The
cruiser had just been put into commits
sion She left Port au Prince September
t, bound for San Domingo. She had on
board many distinguished passengers,
among them being Gen. Moline, San
Domingo's envoy to Hayti; NJ. Cohen,
the Haytien minister to Mexico, and
other well-known diplomats. Accord
ing to the testimony of the sole sur
vivor there wasa absolutely no warning.
No collision with any vessel, nor with
Il submerged coral reef or any storm
can account for the disaster. There
was nothing but a gentle breeze
blowing and the passengers were en-
joying themselves in the cabin. sud
denly the vessel began to sink. The Of
ticer on the watch ordered the men to
pass the word to those in the cabins and
the tOrccastle to reach the deck as
quickly as possible and jump over
board. 1t was already too late. There
was terrible confusion in the cabin as
the panic-strickcn passengers struggled
to reach the deck, blocking the
passage way as they did 50, and pre-
venting one another from escaping from
what was destined to be their tomb.
For only Il moment the awful struggle
lasted. In one minute and a half from
the time the ship began to sink the yes
sci was entirely under water. The
sailor grabbed 4 pair OF oars from
the lieboat as the ship was sink
ing and jumped overheard. He
and looked around, but no man
arose from the swirling waters which
engulied the wars hip. The sailor
stayed thirty-siX hours on the plank
with nothing to eat or drink, and when
picked up he was almost exhausted.
The place where he was picked up was
about fifty miles southeast Of Point
Piment. For a long time the castaway
was unconscious after he was taken
aboard. When he was able to speak
he told a terrible story. He said
he was one of the sailors of
the Alexandra Potion. When the war;
ship was off Tribune September 6 q
gale rose. The sailor said the ship
went down headtorcmost in the water
without the slightest warning and that
all on board but himself were drowned.
He was brought to Port au Prince and
put aboard another warship.

WAR ON VAN ALIEN.

Attempts in the Senate to Defeat His
Nomination as Minister to Italy.
WASHINGTON, D. g., Sept. 25.-An at
tempt will be made in the Senate to
prevent the confirmation of the APP
pointment of James j. Van Allen as
minister to Italy. The charges that
there is nothing American about
him and that his enormous wealth was
acquired not by either business qualifi-
cations or shrewdness on his part, but
simply because no human being can
break down an entailed estate, grown
great by the sweat of New York City's
pressing population, are declared to be
literalln true The present current
is strongly against Van Allen, but
there are always two sides to ques-
ton and his name will only be with
drawn in case defeat is a certainty; and
in that case Mr.. Van Allen will discover
that business engagements and his physi-
clans positive orders forbid his going to
Rome, and he will write Mr.. Cleveland
a letter to that effect.

AGAIN THREATENS SIAM.
France Orders Additional WarshpS to Pro-
coed to BANGKOK

PARIS, Sept. 25.-The French govern
ment has resolved to make another seri-
Gus demonstration against Siam and ons
that will not be satisfied with wordy
concessions. France undoubtedly
is nettled at the criticisms
of the foreign press regarding
her alleged breakdown before
England's firm attitude in the Siamese
question, and no second back-down may
be anticipated. The Gaulois this
morning announces that the French
government has already dispatched
several additional cruisers to Siam and
that M. de Nilliers, the special envoy
of France at Bangkok, will re-
ceive the strongest support in his
efforts to insist upon the evacua-
ton of the territory ceded to France
by the agreements of August last.
France does not intend to wait, as the
Siamese would have her do, until the
water in the river is SO low that French
gunboats could not run up them and
then force the demands of France.
The coded territory is to be evacuated
Immediately or France will take steps
at once to enforce its evacuation.

into the School Book Trust about two
years ago and lost several large con-

the chief causes leading to the failure.

STILL NO CONCLUSION.
Talking About the Admission of the
Appointed Senator's.


WASHINGTON, April THE Senate to-
day resumed consideration of the report of
the Committee on Privileges and Elections
In favor of the admission of Senators ap-
pointed by the Governors of Montana,
Wyoming and Washington. Vest made an
argument in opposition to admission. At
the conclusion of his address the Senate
went into executive session, and shortly
afterward adjourned.
In executive session the Senate confirmed
the following nominations: Allan g.
Morse OF Michigan, Consul at Glasgow; c.
W. Chancellor of Maryland. Consul at
Havre: George T. Parker of New York,
Consul at Birmingham; Samuel Z. Nlorss
cf Indianapolis. Consul General at Paris (;
George G. billiard of Mississippi. Consul
General at Guayaqnii; Seaton Norman of
Indiana. Assistant Surgeon in the Marine
Hospital service.
There is good reason TO believe that the
Senate will soon come to an agreement upon
the question Of organization, and as soon as
that Is done The matter Of final adjournment
will be speedily disposed of. 1t is under
stood that the Republican suggestion that
the Democrats 60 ahead and organize. with
The understanding that the new officials will
not take hold until later. is meeting with
favor among those Democrats who see in
opposition to that course indications OF a
prolonged struggle.
