New BEDFORD (Mass.). June 23.-
Three officers on the wrecked whaling
bark Sea Ranger arrived at this port to-
day from Port Townsend, WASH, by rail.
One Of them, John Rogers of this city,
says he has been shipwrecked three
times, but never before met with such
outrageous treatment by white men as he
and the crew of the Sea Ranger met with
at Sitka, Alaska. When the thirty-six
men reached Sitka they had nothing but
what they carried on their backs. The
authorities at Sitka could do nothing for
them. They wanted food, not money.
There were in the harbOr of Sitka three
United States cutters and two American
men-of-war, the Mohican and Ranger.
Captain Foley of the Sea Ranger saw
Captain Ludlow Of the Mohican, and i'm
plored him to do something for the men
in procuring food and other necessaries.
He told Captain Foley he could not keep
US, and told him to draw on the owner of
the Sea Ranger. Captain Foley. by signing
for $50 worth Of rations for one week for
the crew was ,able to keep the men from
starving.
The steamer City Of Topeka. from Port
Townsed, arrived at Sitka, June 10th.
The Captain refused to take them to Port
Townsend, as they had no money to pay
their passage. The men became desperate,
and began to plan to do some outrage in
order to get in Jail, where they would at
least get something to eat and shelter.
Captain Ludlow was again asked for
aid, but he would do nothing without
pay. Captain Foley pawned the ship
chronometer and managed to get enough
money to take himself, five officers and
son to Port Townsend on the City of To-
peka. The remainder of the crew were
left at Sitba. The night before leaving
Captain Foley asked Captain Ludlow of
the Mohican for food for the men he was
obliged to leave behind, but he refused.
Captain Foley, Rogers says, has reported
the matter to the authorities at Washing
ton.

As soon as the officers of the Victoria
saw there was danger of the ship founder
ing orders were given to close collision
bulkheads to keep the water in the COM
partnent, into which the Camperdown
showed her ram. The sailors tried to
obey the order, but the ship was making
water too fast to allow the closing of the
bulkheads, and while the men were still
trying to shut them, the vessel, with its
immense guns and heavy top hamper,
turned over and carried them down.
The details of the disaster are meagre
and struggling, owing to the remoteness
otthe spot where the collision took place.
a dispatch received from Beyroot says
the collision occurred at o'clock in the
afternoon, about seven miles from Tri-
poll. The vessels were almost at right
angles when the Victoria was struck.
Those on theiNictorias deck at the mo-
ment of the collision scrambled away and
were rescued by boats from the Camper
down and several other vessels. The
men below had no time to reach the deck.
The sudden keeling of the Victoria
caused her to begin to fill Immediately,
and no escape was possible. She went
down in eighty fathoms of water.
1t was difficult to obtain the names of
the rescued, as they were aboard several
vessels, and so far all efforts have been
devoted to recovering the bodies. Shortly
after the collision five bodies were taken
from the water, one ofthem the body ofthe
Chief Paymaster. They were buried last
evening with military honors at Tripoli
The Camperdown was severely dam
aged forward in the collision. Tempo
rary repairs will be made and she will
then start for home. 1t is said here that
several times the Victoria had shown
signs of weakness in her steering gear.
One theory is that on account of this
weakness she became unmanageable, and
could not be got out of the Camperdown's
way.

THE NEWS AT LONDON.
Great Excitement Caused by the Ter

Great Excitement Caused by the Ter
rible Calamity.
LONDON, June GAS soon as the news
of the disaster became known in London
the Duke OF Edinburgh, lately promoted
to the position of Admiral of the Fleet.
visited the Admiralty and conferred
with the officials. A meeting of the Ad-
miralty Board was held and a telegram
Of instructions sent to Rear-Admiral
Markham.
The news of the calamity caused the
most intense excitement, not only among
those who had friends on board the ill
fated ship, but among all classes of popu-
lation. The Admiralty Office in White
hall was besieged by relatives and
friends of the officers and crew, reporters
seeking further details of the disaster,
and throngs of people attracted by curl
osity. So dense was the throng in the
vicinity that the Admiralty officials were
compelled to summon the police to re-
strain the crowd.
No information has been received at the
Admiralty since the receipt of Rear-Ad-
miral Markham's first official telegram
above reported.
All official kilograms in regard to the
loss of the ship were sent at once to the
Queen at Windsor Castle. AS soon as her
majesty received Rear-AdmiraI Mark
hams dispatch, she gave orders for the
postponement of the state ball, to have
taken place at buckingham Palace to-
night.
Gladstone was greatly shocked when
informed of the facts. He inf~rmed the
House of Commons of the accident, and
paid a most glowing tribute to Vice
Admiral Tryon, who he said was one Of
the ablest and most esteemed officers in
the service.
Gladstone said there were Gil officers.
seamen and boys and 107 marines on
board. 1t was feared that of this total of
us souls 430 had been lost.
He was sure the deepest sympathy of
the House would be felt for the brave men
who found an early grave in the service
OF their country, and that it would be ex-
tended to their relatives and friends.
Right Hon. Lord George Hamilton,
formerly First Lord of the Admiralty. in
dorsed everything Gladstone said. and
expressed the deepest regret for the ca
lamity that had befallen the country in
the loss of so many brave officers and
| men.
The Victoria was regarded as a perfect
example of modern warship, and sill
yer model of her was presented to the
Queen as naval jubilee present.
In discussing the disaster this evening
Lord Brassey, TOR some time Secretary of
the Admiralty, said the sinking of the Vic
toria supplied a strong argument against
building more big men-ot-war. 1t is ev-
ident, he said, that the Victoria's armor
| afforded her no protection from the Cam
perdown's ram. While not convinced
! that smaller vessels are safer than large
ones he thought it wiser to distribute the
country's naval strength among many
less pretentious men-of-war rather than
among few monster battle-ships.

GREAT AMERICAN DERBY.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The great Ameri-
can Derby, worth $4,000 to the winner
and large sums to second and third, will
be run tomorrow at Washington Park,
near the Worlds Fair grounds. This
year the Derby was made three times
richer than the event usually is from
consideration of the Columbian celebra-
ton. Tonight seventeen horses are
named as probable starters, and more
than a hundred are eligible if the owners
are willing to pay $500 for the privilege.
This will depend considerably on the
weather, which threatens showers, and
if the track is heavy tomorrow horses
not now counted upon may go to the
post.
The entries announced are as follows;
Plutus, ridden by A. Clayton; Strathrose.
by Mansur; Lookout, by Kunze; Bound
less, by y. Covington; Don Alonzo, by
Lumley; Ramapo, by Overton; Aide
baran, by Williams; Chorister, by Fitz-
patrick; st. Leonard, by Garrison: St.
Croix, by l. Murphy; Oporto, by Miller:
q. w. johnson, by DOggett; Clifford, by
Martin; Buck McCann, by Thorpe; Miles
Standish, by Taral; Ingomar, by J. Re-
gan; Tyro, by Hoggett. In case of a
muddy track Charles Fairs Floodgate
may start.
The surprise to-day has been the ad-
vent upon the scene of Walcott & Camp
bell's Miles Standisb. AS he has not been
considered in the gossip regarding the
Derby, Standish is not thought by con-
servative turfmen to stand much show,
unless the track is heavy. st. Leonard
ana Chorister are about equal favorites
with Don Alonzo. Buck McCann and
st. Croix are booked in other races dur
ing the day, which is thought to make
their starting in the big event doubtful.
1t is hardly believed that Ingomar will
be sent out except on heavy track.
Summing up, public opinion is that 1t
will be great surprise if the race is not
won by one of the following: Don
Alonzo, st. Lenard, Chorister, Lookout.
Clifford and BoundIess. Lookout and
Boundless Will carry the bulk of Western
money, and Clifford the rest of it. 1t is
acknowledged that Don Alonzo has been
trained all year for this event.

VIEWS AS TO TIE DISASTER.
Opinions as to Why the Warship
Sank so Rapjdly

Sank so Rapidly.
LONDON, June 23.-An interview was
had to-day with Lord George Hamilton
to ascertain his views as TO the disaster
he said without doubt the Camperdown's s
ram cut away the plating on the Victoria
outside of several of her transverse bulk
heads. Had this not been the case the
bulkheads could have been closed and
the water kept in one, or at the most
two, of the compartments, and the vessel
would still have tioated.
An interview was also had with Right
Hon. Arthur Bower Forwood, the we'll
known ship-owner, who was formerly
Secretary to the Admiralty. Forwood
said it was wonder such an accident had
not occurred before. The Victoria had a
longitudinal bulkhead running through
her, beside number running across the
ship. She was thus divided into COM
partments on each side of the longitude
nal bulkhead, without communication
between them. The Camperdown prob
ably struck the Victoria ripping blow,
opening the plates over several of her
compartments. Water was then admitted
into number Of compartments on one
side OF the ship, causing her to capsize by
the great weight. The longitudinal bulk
head is a good thing in a way, Farwood
said, but it did not seem to avert the dis
aster.

vICE-ADMIRAL TRYoN.
He Was One of the Best-Knoyyn
British Naval Officers

He Was One of the Best-Knoyvn
British Naval Officers.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-Sir GEORGE
Tryon, the Vice-Admiral who went down
in his flagship, Victoria, was one of the
best-known British naval officers. Com
modore Chadwick, in charge of the naval
intelligence office here. was well ac-
quainted with him during his residence
in London as United States Naval At
tache, and he speaks in terms Of high
praise of the AdmraPs character and
ability as a naval officer. He was man
OF vast experience, his experience begin
ming in the days before steam was
prominent feature in naval architecture
and running through all the various
phases of development marked by the
substitution of steam for sail power, iron
for wooden hulls, steel for iron, turrets
for broadsides and armor for thin sheath
ing. He was man who earned the high
est honors in the gift of the British nation.
His name first appears on the naval list
away back in the days of the Crimean
War, where he served in the naval brigade
before Sebastopol, during the winter
OF 1854, in the trenches, where he
was wounded. He was present at all the
operations before Sebastopol and the cap
ture of Kinburn. He received medals of
distinction and was specially mentioned
in dispatches for services as Director of
Transports during the Abyssiniau War of
1865. He was Private Secretary to the
First Lord of Admiralty from IS7I to 1874,
received various orders of knighthood
and approval from the Government for
