GREAT CANAL PROPOSITION.
Far Reaohing Results Expected OF the
Toronto waterways Convention.

Fat-Reaching Results Expected of the
Toronto waterways Convention.
NEW YORK, Sept. l6.-A specia'Ifrom
Toronto, Ontario, says: The inter-
national deep waterways convention,
" hich will meet at Toronto tomorrow,
promises to be the most important of
the kind ever held on this
continent. Its effects are expected by
the promoters to be far-reaching
in the matter of the transportation
of freight from western states and the
western Canadian provinces to the sea-
board, and its influence on the present
channels of freight from the west to the
east may be very important. Chicago,
Detroit, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Du-
luth. Toledo and other important
centers have promised to have repre-
sentative here.
One of the greatest schemes 10 be
considered is the deepening of the
canals along the ST. Lawrence river,
connecting Lake Ontario and other
great lakes in the west with the At
lantic ocean, so they will allow the
passage of ocean-going vessels to
Duluth and all other Aineri-
can ports on the inland lakes
1t is held that the United States
should be asked to contribute to the
cost of deepening the canals. Against
this, however, it is urged that If the
Americans were asked to contribute Ia
the cost, 1t would give them holl 10y
part ownership in the great highway
advantages which Canada now con-

sentatives of Japanese newspapers are
allowed to 90 in all directions and may
send kilograms free of charge over the
government wires, but these privileges
are limited by rigid censorship which
forbids the publication of all.news that
has not passed under official super
vision. On more than one occasion
intelligence has been received by toxic
journals some time in advance of its
arrival at the war or navy depart
menst, and though entirely favorable to
the Japanese, its appearance in print
has been prohibited until after full de-
tails had reached the government
from its own agents.

mantle is charged with having inter
fered with one of Japan's naval opera
tons by ordering q salute TO the jap

ment and thus giving warning to the
enemy. But it is certain that in spite
of the British proclamation of neutral
ity English merchant ships carry
ing munitions of war TO Chinese
naval stations have sailed from Shang-
hal without obstruction by the consul.
Business In Corea Bad.
Business in Corea is much dis
ordered, owing to the scarcity of silver
and sudden lack of con fidence in Jap
anese paper money, which has hither-
10 circulated virtually at par. Agencies
of the japanese national banks have
tried every means to arrest the decline
of the paper, which now stands at 4t
per cent. discount, but thus far theiI
efforts have beeu in vain.

In the course of an interview today,
Wellman said the failures of Lieuten-

shows that, like the Wellman eXpedi-
ton, he met unusual difficulties arising
from an extremely unfavorable season.
He warmly defended his expedition
against the charges made of experl-

protested that he had not abandoned
Professor Oyen OIL Danes island. The
professor, he added, had 1000 pounds
of provisions on the island and wa
therefore in no danger of suffering from

land Ready to Quit Work.
BosToN. Sept. 15.-There is every in
dication today that within few days
there will be inaugurated one of the
biggest strikes in the history of New
England. Various branches of the
trades held meetings today and en-
dorsed the recommendations of the
clothing trades council that the sweat

of conferences with the manufacturers
and contractors will be held as soon as
possible. If the employers agree TO
the demands, the threatened strike will
be averted, but If they refuse o strike
Will be ordered at once.
The operatives claim that they are
in better shape for struggle than
their employers. as the latter have
been waiting the result of the tariff
bill and consequently are behind with
their work. They also asserted that
they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose, as they are ground
down at present beyond endurance. A
feature the men are expecting will aid
them is that owing to the present
strike liz New York the manufacturers

ONE WAVES WORK.
Steamer Italia Barely Escapes
Disaster in Mid-Ocean.
AT THE MERCY OF THE WATERS
Nothing Shor, o. Miracle Made the Yes
sci Stand tSs Wear and Tear of
the Battle with the Waves.

New YORK, Sept. 16-Away out on
old ocean, with land on either side
1900 miles away, and on vessel whidh
they believed to be sinking, was the
position in which the passengers of the
steamer Italia found themselves on
September s. The Italia did not sink,
but came safely into port today with
as scared crew and passengers as were
ever found on shlpboard.
That something fatal did not occur
seems marvel, for nothing short of
miracle made the Italia stand the wear
and tear of the battle with the waves.
When she reached port today she pre-
senled only faint resemblance Of the
craft that left here two months ago for
the Mediterranean. Most OF the life
boats we're missing and such as were
not were unfit for use. They were
STAYED in and battered in, while the
interior of the iron-hulled vessel, at
least as far as the passengers quarters
was concerned, was almost total
wreck.
The damage was due 10 one wave.
The Italia was not the only craft that
had a rough passage. The Hindoo.
from Hull, luckily without passengers,
had q similar though not such disns-
trous experience. She, too, was badly
damaged.
Six of the officers and crew of the
Italia were injured. The Sc cond officer,
Chewan, was washed of the starboard
ladder and thrown against ventila-
tor, sustaining serious bruises. Captain
Craigg and Boatswain Mcfarland were
thrown into the lee scuppers and when
the steamer rolled were landed against
the smoking room. The captains leg
was Injured and the boatswain received
severe internal injuries. The third en-.
gineer was severely injured about the
back and left leg.
Lost Her Steering Gear.
On September 7 the storm increased
in fury and at o'clock Captain Craigg
ordered the vessel headed toward sea.
L or three hours The passe ngers were
huddled together in the cabin waiting
for what they supposed to bs theil
last moment. The steamer rolled
from side to side as If she
were going to keel over, whil'
the voic. 8 of nearly all of the crew
could be heard over the storm repeat
ing orders from the bridge.
The steering gear had parted, leav
ing the steamer at the mercy OF lh'
sea. An attempt was made to shiI
and man hand steering gear, but be
fore it could be done a big wave board
ed the steamship over the port bow
and rolled along the deck, carrying
everything before it. The life
boats were smashed and car
ried away. The smoking room
and hospital doors were bLrs
in and the steam pipes on deck broker
and bent. Chairs screwed TO the foo
were torn up, the cabin flooded an
considerable other damage done. Th
crew, who had been putting tn
hand-steering gear in place, complete
their work and the ship was once NOR
headed for port. The following da
the storm abated.
