lions on the programme for next week
have been postponed. The Lord Mayor
has opened a relief fund for the beneht OF
the needy families who lost members In
the disaster.
The morning papers are filed with artl-
Giles describing ike vessels and obituaries
Of the most conspicuous officers lost. All
publish leaders extending coincidence to
the friends of the drowned men. Every
leader eulogizes Admiral Tryon. The
Daily Neics says editorially:
America will thrill at the news, coming
as it does when the New York cheers for
our squadron have hardly died away Are
we to pay so much in millions and broken
hearts only to learn that the compartment
system is delusion and snareP
The Times says: 1.-The inquiry into the
causes of this disaster must be searching
and exhaustive-the punishment, II blame
be found to exist, adequate
and unflinching. Only so can
the lesson of the great calamity
be turned to account. The true lesson is
not that manoeuvers at sea are too hazard
Gus, but that only by incessant practice OF
evolutions at high speed can the navy be
fitted for the necessities Of war"

chin Victoria. flagship Of the Mediter-
rapean squadron, and hundreds OF lives
have been lost.
The Victoria, which flew the flag OF
Vice Admiral George TryOn, X. c. B.
was run into of Tripoli by the British
hattie ship Camperdown, also belonging
10 the Mediterranean squadron, and
upder the command of Captain Charles
Johnstone.
The Victoria had an enormous hole
made in her side, through which the
water poured in torrents.
The immense hull Of the Victoria be-
1an 70 settle, and before those on board
Of her could cast loose their small boats
she went to the bottom, carrying down
with her nearly all on board.
Some Of the officers and crew man
aged to get out Of the suction caused
nv the sinking vessel and were res
cned. Among those lost is Vice-Ad-
miral TryOn.
The first reports Of the disaster
stated that about 200 men had been
drowned, but later dispatches show
that the loss Of life was far greater,
not less than 400 Of the officers and
crew of the Victoria having gone down
with their ship.
LATER REPORTS.
LATER-Rear Admiral Albert Ii.
Markham, Of the Trafalgar, the flag
ship Of the rear admiral in the Medi-
terranean, has autographed to the ad-
miralty from TripOli, under date Of to-
day As follows:
81 regret to report that while ma
poeuvsrlDg of TripOi this afternoon,
the Victoria and Camperdown collided.
The Victoria sank in fifteen minutes in
eighty fathoms Of water. She lies
bottom uppermOst."
"The Caperdown's ram struck the Vic
toria forward Of the turret on the star
hoard side. Twenty-one officers were
drowned; 255 men we're saved. The
injury to the CaperdoWn has not been
fully aseertained, but it has been seri-
ous and will necessitate her going In

toria. Charles Ottley having been de-
taehed and succeeded by Commander
FellicOme, who was saved, as were also
Captain Hon. Maurice A. Bourke and
fifteen other officers. The first dis
patches concerning the accident led TO
the belief that the disaster had Oc-

CARLIN is DENOUNCED.
VIGOROUS RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
BY MIssOULA CITIZENS.
The Rescued Hunter Charged With
Deliberately Leaving TIA
Perish-Rescuers Also Denounced
for Not Attempting n Rescue.

Helena. Mont, Dee. 16.-The ghost OF
George Il. Colgate will not down. lie
was the cook OF the Carlin party, re-
Gently rescued in the Bitter Root noun
tains by a detail of soldiers uEder Lieut..
Elliott. Only a short time before Cariin
and party were found they had abandoned
Colgate to his fate in the mountains WITH
out food or shelter, sick and enfcebled.
Such is the story told by Ben keely, the
TAPER who guided the party down from
the mountains, and who is surg Gen.
CGrIin for the reward offered for the
rescue of his son. The feeling at MIS-
soula against CaHin has become so I'D
tense since Keely told his stosy that Il
found exp essior IN resolutions adopted
in a msss meeting ut which tbs follow
ing was adopted: -
THAT we condemn the abandonment OF
George Colgate, while confessedly within
% few hours of his death, and leaving
hsm with his feet staggering on the snow,
without shelter, withouG food and without
the presence of a loyal comrade to close
his eyes and note the location OF his
body, as an act of hideous ~barbarity.
That in the light of their W published
sta tements ard such Cher information as
we can obtain, we denounce Williams h.
Carlin and A. l.. A. Himmelwright as
III fit to associate with sportsmen, wD1t-
ing the elements of manhood and in their
treatment OF George C0iyate's widow,
wholly void of the COZ siderate spirit assd
generosity of gentlemen"
The action of the relief party, headed
by Lieut.. Elliott, in its fixture, or worse,
refusi, to continue up the river after
finding Carlin and his comrades, in quest
of the abandoned Colgate, is condemned
and severely criticized By all. 1t is the
general impression that the whole ma
chinery of the United States army was
set in motion TO rescue the pampered
son OF an officer and his tenderfoot COM
panions, while a poor cid cook was
abandoned to inevitable snd lonely death.
