Forty MembsPs of the Monareh's
Household Drowned.
CoNsrANrINorLE, April 5-The sultan's
private steamer. for the use Of guests and
members of his household, foundered on
Sunday. and it il believed that forty
persons, who were on board at the time,
were drowned, and that the splendid sill.
yer plate on board went down with the
vessel. Details are lacking. - the censor
is suppressing all reports of the disaster
and journals printing stories of the calam-
ity are seized BY the authorities. 1t is
rumored that it was . plot against the
sultan's lite.
The sultan had gone to the kiosk of the
old seraglio to worship the mantle of Mo-
BANNED and other relics. After his devo-
ton he ate his evening meal and left by
land. en- route for Yildiz kiosk. The plate
used at the meal was placed on the steam
launch which was to carry to the palace
forty or more persons Of tho imperial
household. The launch collided with .
steamer Immediately after leaving her
moorings, 1t 10 said, and the steamer cut
the launch almost in two and she went to
tho bottom. But few passengers were
saved. The sultan commanded that pro-
vision be made from his civil list for the
families of those drowned.

THE BERING SEA CASE
Commissioner Phelps Criticises
the Methods Of England.
BRITISH COUNSEL
NETTLED.
Sir CHARLES Russell Takes Exceptions to
the Statements Of UnfAirssss-A
Lively Debate Ensues.

PARIS, April 5-When the court Of arbi-
tration regarding the Boring sea question
resumed its session today Hon. E. J.
Phelps, counsel in behalf of the United
States. continued his argument He con-
tended that the British supplementary re-
port was inadmissable. The admission Of
new evidence At this stage, Phelps said,
was gross injustice to the United States,
because it deprived the United States OF
any chance to adduce rebutting testimony.
Phelps discoursed at some length on the
technical meaning of treaty of arbitra-
ton and the conditions and methods of
procedure to be followed under the treaty.
Sir Charles Russell, replying on behalf
of Great Britain, paid tribute to tho late
James G. Blaine, whose ability. he said,
was recognized in both hemispheres. The
court then adjourned for luncheon. After
luncheon Phelps continued his argument
for tho rejection of the supplementary re-
port of the Bering sea commission. He
said:
If had been guiding the policy Of the United
States when Great Britain presented her counter
case at the last minute would then and there
have refused to proceed with the arbitration.
Great Britain's conduct IL not only unjust, but
deeply humiliating for the United States.
Sir Richard Webster interposed . re-
mark that Great Britain had announced
in her counter case q prediction for a
future date of the Boring sea commits
sioners' report. Mr.. Phelps said he had
not been aware of this. The whole report.
he said, was untrustworthy, and the Brit
ish report had been neither answered nor
commented upon by the United States.
Sir Charles Russell said he had not ex-
pected much discussion and he felt quite
unprepared for this extraordinary
stateme mt on the part Of the opposing
counsel. He was extremely surprised that
Great Britain should be charged with in
justice in her conduct of the proceedings
preliminary to the meeting of the court.
There was no intention on the part of
Great Britain to use the reports of the
Boring sea commission as bearing upon
the question of right before the court, but
the counsel for the United States had at
tempted throughout the sittings of the
tribunal to force this matter upon the
commissioners. as if it were only the one
question before them. He then justified
the production of the report of the Boring
sea commission, arguing from the terms Of
the arbitration treaty. He said:
Ii the sole object of the report was to assist
the tribunal to gain information as to the regu.
lation of tho practical matters at issue, the
report then must be admitted to evidence under
the article governing the procedure Of the court
OF arbitration.
Sir Charles Russell then read the article
in question. and the court adjourned.

POPULATION OF RIcHMoND

The recent claim OF Chicago Of over
100000 population. based upon the num-
Der of names in that city's directory.
has attracted considerable attention, and
caused much newspaper comment. Now.
Brooklyn (N.Y)lays claim 10 have reached
the million mark Of population, and this
claim. like that Of Chicago. is based
upon the names in the directory. Chi
cago, TO get h,r two millions. used four

and three-quarters According to the
last census Of 1890. Brooklyn contained
SO6,Si3 population. or four and two-rnths
times the number Of names in ,he direc-
tory for that year.
Richmond was given 1893 or only
III times the number Of names I'm the
directory. If the numbc- Of names I'm
Brooklyn's directory for 1880 be multi
piled by 2.77. she would have but 81. SO
or 274,5O3 less than given by the census
On the other hand If the census figures
be divided by 2.77. the directory should
have contained 5000 more than it did
The canvass Of the Richmond city direc-
tory is believed to have been more full
