lovSki aud rcehristcncd lhc Alexander. Cap
tain Mclean was finally allowed To recover
his vessel, bat he was ordered TO keep aloft
the Russian ilag.
When he reached San Francisco be set
about n scheme of revenge. He ascertalncd
that Copper island Is guarded by only twenty
men, most Of whom arc natives. So he dccid-
ed tp raid the rookcrics with strong force.
He has engaged sixty men for thc Alexander.
and they are all armed with shc best Win
chestcrs. The Alexander eau steam aud
sail, and can make fourtccn-t.not gait with
out cnnvns, so there is no Russian cruiser on

Edward +. Webster, To make descent on
Copper island rookeries, clean out the garri-
son aud slaughter the seals.

In the meantime there Was a scene Of indie

or at least many Of them as could, leaped
from the Windows and doors. Some Of them
landed uniuiured in the heavy snow-banks.
while Others who landed in the cleared track
were Killed. Those who were unable TO get
out Of the cars were burned TO death, for the
train was entirely consumed. some Of the
men were terribly burned before they iurnp-
ed, When the confusion had somewhat sub
sided The officer in charge OF the recruits
Who saved himself by jumping. called the
roll OF his men 1t was found that forty-nine
Of them were dead and twenty terribly burn
ed and otherwise injured. A strict investIga-
tOn will be held to determine the cause of
thc lrc. It Is supposed now that some of The
men were skylarking in the forward car and
upset the stove. The draft caused by the on.
rushing train caused the flames to spread
with such rapidlty that nothing could be done
to extinguish them. 1t is claimed that the
engineer was guilty Of criminal negligence in
not stopping the train soon as he saw the
fire. Had he done so the loss of life would
have been very small.
