By tue time the neigbbors got 10 the

THE ADAMS UNSAFE
United States Vessel Found to
Be Unseaworthy.
HER VOYAGE FROM ALASKA
Captain Brice Has Been Retired at His
Own Request ON Account of
Failing Health.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. = Advices
have been received at the navy depart
ment from the Alaskan feet which
bear out the Associated Press dis
patches regarding the unseaworthy
condition of the Adams. It seems that
the accident to the vessel was so seri-
GUS that 1t was necessary for the York
town to tow her from Unalaska to
Sitka, a distance Of LOO miles at the
rate Of eight knots an hour. At Sitka
repairs were made, and the vessel pro-
ceeded to San Francisco W here she ar
rived last night by slow stages. The
Adams has been ordered to Mare
Island, but 1t is said to be uncertain
whether she can be repaired to meet
the requirements of the service. If not
she will be sold.
Admiral Ramsey this afternoon said
Captain Brice has been retired at his
own request on account of sickness.
Preparing to Leave Boring Sea.
All the Boring sea feet is preparing
to sail, as the sealing season closed Sep
TENDER Is. This will leave the Ranger,
Yorktown. Alert, Mohican, Albatross
and the two revenue cutters. Bear ana
Corwin, free for duty elsewhere. Naval
officers are disposed to think that Great
Britain has not done her duty in car
rying out the sealing agreement. since
she kept but one small vessel in Boring
sea, leaving the lions share of the
work to the United States. Altogether
they are not disposed to regard the ex-
pertinent of patrolling seal fishing
waters as q successful one, 60 far as the
results In preventing an infraction Of
the agreement by sealers ia concerned.

II His Course on tho Wilson Tariff Bill

CINCINNATI, Sept, IA special
from Columbus says: 1.-THE friends of
Senator Brice say If the democratic
convention next week adopts resolu.
lions censuring him for his course
against the Wilson tariff bill. he will
at once resign. This would lose the
democrats one vote in the senate, as
Governor Mckinley would appoint a
republican. The governor would have
the filling of the vacancy entirely in
his power, as the general assembly has
adjourned sine die and can not assem-
ble except upon the governors call.
First He Had Heard of It.
NEW YORK, Sept. Is. -Senator
Brice was shown this afternoons Co.
lumbus special to the effect that his
friends understood he would resign In
case the democratic con vention passed
a resolution condemning his course on
the Wilson bill. Brice said it was the
first he had heard of it, and. as far as
he was concerned. the great body of
the democrats and himself were on
satisfactory terms. He did not under
stand there would be any contest. as 1t
was the general desire to make strong
campaign, with the democrats united.

ADVERSE JAPANESE REPORTS.

Dispatches That the Mikado's Forces
Will Likely Be Hemmed In.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 14.-If reports
from Corea can he believed there seems
no doubt that the japanese forces OPP
Grating against the Chinese will likely
he hemmed in. Dispatches from
Fusan bring additional confirmation
of the reports that the whole of south
ern Corea is rising against the Japan
ese. It also seems that the japanese
force of 1000 men who attempted to
march from Fusan to Soeul met with
a disaster serious enough to compel
them 10 return to the former place
with 200 of their number missing.
A disastrous fire occurred at Chung
King August 25. About 80 persons
are known to have persisted, and 1t is
probable that the actual loss is greater.
It is roughly estimated the loss hy the
fire will amount to fully $4,000, 900
;aeIs. About 1000 buildings were de-
strOyod.
