AN OCEAN TRAGEDY
A BRITISH BATTLE SHIP SUNK

Loss of the Flagship Victoria in the
Mediterranean-An Immense
Death List,

LONDON, June a3.-A most terrible
calamity has befallen the British battle
ship Victoria, the flagship of the Medi-
terranean squadron, and hundreds of
lives have been lost
The Victoria, which flew the flag OF
Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon, K. c,
B., was run into off Trip. Ii by the
British battleship Camperdown, also
belonging to the Mediterranean squad
ron and under the command of Captain
Charles tombstone.
The Victoria had an enormous hole
made in her side, through which the
water poured in torrents. The immense
hull of the Victoria at once began to
settle, and before those on board her
could cast loose the 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
by the sinking vessel and were rescued.
Among those lost is Vice.Admiral
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.

THE GRAY WOLF.
1t Has Become Nearly Extinct In North
America.


America.
The largest wolf of North America is
commonly known as the timber or gray
wolf. It was formerly generally dis
tributed throughout North America,
from the arctic regions to the tropics,
but has, of course, disappeared from all
settled portions of the country.
Over the larger portion of it's range
this wolf is gray in color, but in arctic
regions 1T is white, or nearly so, while
In Florida and some of the gulf states
and in British Columbia black form
exists. In Texas there are red or bay
wolves.
Except in its color, says Forest and
Stream, the large wolf of North Amer
lea (Canis occidentalis) is everywhere
the same, but in it's habits there is more
or less difference, caused by the c1rcum-
stances of its environment. The wolves
Of the north feed to considerable ex-
tent on reindeer and caribou, those of
the east on deer, while those of the
south prey on deer and on the wild hogs
which run at large through the pine
forests and swamps. A few years ago
the center of abundance of the Crav
wolf in America corresponded very
closely with the center of abundance of
the buffalo. Great. bands of these
gaunt and ever hungry animals accom-
panied the buffalo herds, killing calves
or old bulls, and sometimes cutting out
from the herd strong young heifers,
which they had little difficulty in pull
ing down, if they could once separate
them from the companionship of their
fellows.
Notwithstanding the fact that ever
since the settlement of America the
wolf has been pursued with guns, traps
and poison. it is certain that no blow
was ever dealt this race so severe as the
extinction of the buffalo. Their nat
ural prey gone, the wolves turned their
attention to the herds of the stock men,
and for years now their Gepredations
have resulted in very serious losses to
raiscrs of horses and cattle on the
northern plains. They do not attack
the herds when they are alarmed and
closely punched together, but prowl
about their outskirts, trying to cut off
the young stock, which they can easily
pull down. Sometimes q small band of
wolves will roundup u little bunch of
cattle, which stand in close circle,
their heads outward, prepared for the
attack. After circling about them for
n short time, two or three of the wolves
will dash at the bunch, and if they can
scatter the animals it is the work Of an
instant only to pull down ycarling or
to Kill two or three calves. We have
seen two wolves thus destroy a ycarlinc
steer with no greater apparent effort
than setter dog would use in killing
a. cat.

Not a Nourishing Diet.

An old Scotch servant attached to
the household of the famous British
logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud of his masters fame as if it had
been his own, and, having picked up a
few of Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play on
every possible occasion.
One day a gentleman who was fond
of drawing out old John for the amuse-
ment of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
81 suppose, John, now that you've
lived so long with such a great reasoner
as Sir William, you are quite able to
conduct an argument YOURSELF?
'Weel | Wilma say sac muckle as
that, replied the old Scotchman, with
the modesty Of true genius, "bdt If /
Gamma conduct an Argument, I'm think
in | could draw an inference"
Gould you: Let us see, then? There's
an Eastern proverb, you know, about
the wild ass snuffing mp the east wind
Now what inference would you draw
from thats
For q .foment old John looked non
plussed, as well he might and then a
CLEAN of sly humor twinkled in the cor
ner Of his dark gray eye, and he an
swered, with a grim chuckle;
"Aweel the inference that | wad
draw. from that wad be that he might
snuff lang time before he grew fat!"-

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK BETTER.

| Currency Situation.


Currency Situation.
The business situation is improving.
The concensus of opinion in Richmond
wholesale circles is that had 1t not been
for the financial depression the city
could have counted upon a larger trade
this fall than for years. As it is. com
parativcly good fan trade is looked for,
and the decrease in the volume OF busi'
ness done in the last two months is COM
pensated for I'm the conservatism that
has marked transactions. Business has
been, and is being, conducted on an I'M
usually safe basis.
In great measure the merchants have
had to carry their customers in the cot
ton section, and consequently have q
good deal of money locked up in paper
due in October and November; but funds
are moving south to care for the cotton
crop and this, IT is expected. VIII gradually
enable Southern debtors to discount their
paper and greatly relieve the situation
Collections on open account are better
than could be expected.
The manufacturing interest IS also
holding its own remarkably WELL and
here too the outlook is encouraging and
currency Is daily becoming more plentiful
During the past two days the desks OF
the receiving tellers at the banks have
Cooked like old times" as currency was
coming in more rapidly than 1t had been
since the $50 limit was placed in checks.
In short no other city in the union
adapted herself more readily than dll
Richmond TO the necessities growing out
of the financial disturbance. and no other
city IS working her way out OF the difil-
culties with less loss Of business, or Win
a steadier pull.
