dred Passengers Drowned.
SYDNEY On. S. W., Oct. 3l.-The Union
line steamship Weiraipa. bound from this
port to Auckland, New Zealand. was
wrecked Sunday evening on Great Bar
rles Island, off the coast of New Zealand.
The steamship had large number of
passengers, and II2 OF them were
drowned. The number of people saved
is not positively known, but among the
rescued are some Of the passengers,
Inc nlght was very dark, and the Of
ncers and lookout on the steamer were
ignorant OF the proximity of land until
the steamer struck on tife rocks. Captain
Mc1ntosh. the master OF the Weiraipa,
was on the bridge at the time. He, to-
gether with most of the crew, was lost.
1he sea was rough when the steamer
went aground. Attempts were made to
lower the boats, but several of these We're
either smashed by being thrown by the
sea against the side OF the steamer. or
were capsized before they could be laid
head on before the sea. Everyone in the
boats perished. Those remaining on
board dld not attempt to escape in this
way. In the meantime the people on
shofe VINO had gone to the assistance of
the ship had also been drowned. Some
OF the passengers scrambled down the
sIde oy the ald Of ropes and dropped upon
rats, which were cut loose. They drltted
rapidly ashore, and the people on them
were taken OFF when they came in reach
oy men who went out in the water as far
as possible to meet them. A line was
hnally thrown across the steamer, and
the breeches buoy rugged. A number of
lives We're saved by this means. Alto

two of the crew were drowned The sur

PASSENGERS ASLEEP WHEN SHE sTRT7CK.
AUCKLAND, Oct. 3I.-The Weiraipa
struck at midnight when most of the
passengers were alseep. They were
aroused by the shock of the steamer
striking, and rushed on deck in great ex-
cltement. Lifeboats were rapidly served
out. Ihere were many pathetic and
heartrending scenes. Despite the con-
fusion there was no panic. a heavy sea
was breaking over the vessel, and the
boats were launched with the greatest
dlf1lculty. The steamship, after she
struck, settled rapidly, and was partly
submerged, and this added to the danger
and difficulty in getting the lifeboats
away. Most of the boats were capsized
and their occupants thrown into the
water. No help could be extended to
them, and they were drowned. The life
RATS were cut adrift and many persons
were saved by them. A large number
sought refuge on the bridge. Many were
swept from it by the seas. Others took
refuge in the rigging, where they re-
malned until daylight, when two of the
crew swan ashore with lines, by means
OF which sort of breeches-buoy was
rugged and number of persons hauled
ashore. All who reached the shore were
clad in the scantiest clothing. They re-
mained on the rocks for thirty hours
subsisting on oranges that had been
washed ashore

Lively Passenger Rate War Brewing

PORTLAND, Oct. 31.-An evening paper
says: There is a lively passenger rate
war brewing in the metropolis of the
Northwest and transcontinental rates are
tending downward about as rapidly as
the representatives of the interested lines
can push them. The enforcement of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation from the
I Union Pacific, making that line an inde-
pendent factor, with new policies; the en-
trance OF the Great Northern under a
traffic arrangement with the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation; the establishment
OF new offices with large and efficient
force by the Union Pacific, and the COM
pletion of the Burlington to Billings, fol-
lowed by the opening for through busi-
ness in connection with the Northern Pa
citc, have all been factors leading up to
the changed condition out or which a
passenger rate war is surely growing. No
open cuts over the counters of ticket of
ices are reliably reported, but cuts
through brokers have been numerous.

Hill. The tug left port this morning, and
expects to be close to the place where the
crew deserted the brig by Sunday next
on the return journey. Captain NJ. Boez
of the Lucas reported that the vessel was
loaded with lumber, aud was water
logged when he ard his crew left her in
latitude 42o 20 north and longitude 1859 a
west, but it is thought that she will be
found floating farther north of where she
was last seen, having been carried toward
the pole by the strong current which
skirts along the coast. 1t is estimated
that the abandoned vessel, if picked up
and towed into port, will be worth about
$1,000.
