The Elbe Disaster.
33o People Persisted aud only 10 Es-
caped---the Crnthie in the Collision.

335 People Persisted and only 10 Es-
caped---the Crnthie in the Collision.
As nearly as can be ascertained the vic
Tins of the Elbe disaster number $50, and
only 20 of those on board escaped. That
the Crathie was the vessel that struck the
Elbe and led to this terrible loss of life is
made plain by all the facts which have
been learned and confirmation of this be
lief is furnished by the statement which
has been made 10y her owner. He denies
that the Crathie steamed away after the
collision, and says that as soon as her
wreckage was cleared away she returned to
the spot and remained till daylight, al
though her captain saw the other vessel
burning red lights and supposed she had
made for London. Why the Crathie,
which is said to have been in danger of
sinking, should remain till daylight when
the other steamship was supposed to have
gone on her way in safety is a point on
which the board of inquiry will doubtless
seek full information.
The loss of human life by the Elbe dis
aster is sufficiently appalling, but there
have been greater losses by sea. When
the Atlantic went down in 1873 no less
than jS5 persons persisted; 5d3 were lost
in the Utopia in 1891, and many years ago,
in 1854, $50 were lost in the City of Glas-
gov.

A Veterans Fall.

Maj. McDonough Had Been Trusted
Post Office Official at Boston Ri Years.
Major John McDonough, assistant SUI
perntendent of the city delivery depart
ment of the Boston post-oflice, was arrest
ed Saturday charged with stealing money
and letters from the mail. \ sensation
was caused as he had been trusted en-
ploye Of the post-ollice since 1864. de-
coy letter was sent through the mails by
Chief Inspector Boynton containing mark
ed money. When it reached McDonough's
desk it disappeared. McDOnough was
summoned before Postmaster Conveney
and Inspector Boynton ordered that Nc
Donough be searched. The marked mon
ey was found in his pocket. McDonough
then broke down and admitted his guilt,
but would give no explanation of the cause
of his action. McDonough is % years Old,
is veteran of the war and a member of
several secret societies. He has also sue
cecded in making several clever captures
of thieving clerks in the post-oilicc and
was held in highest esteem by the officials.
Inspector Boynton thinks McDonough is
guilty of crimes for which other people are
serving time.

5000 Prisoners
Would Have Escaped Through the
Tunnel.

The 5000 prisoners confined in Belem
prison, City of Mexico, would have es-
capped in a short time if tunnel had not
been discovered Saturday. The skill dis
played in this engineering feat is wonder
full, and few more months of labor would
have placed the prisoners in communication
with the street. The tunnel had been
planned to pass under all the departments
of the prison so it could have been reached
by digging few feet beneath the floors of
the various wards. The prisoners, under
the pretence of attending night school,
have been at work on the tunnel for a
period of two years, working secretly in
regular shifts. The conception of the
daring undertaking is due to a desperate
criminal named Jose Vicente, who was
under sentence of death, but who was shot
some time ago.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Another Great Victory


For the japanese Forces---yVei-Hoi-v
Captured and the Chinese Lose 1000
Men---On TO Peking---the Complete
Chinese Collapse.
The japanese captured Wei-IIai-Wei
Jan. 81 after two days diminishing. The
Chinese bolted when the actual assault was
made 1t is estimated that their loss was
2000 men. Lui Kung Lu, an island near
the city, on which are workshops and some
forts, is still in the hands of the Chinese
All the Europeans in the city escaped un-
hurt. 1t is reported that during the fight
ing all the Chinese men-of-war and ships
in the harbor sailed away unnjured.
BY holding Wei-IIai-Wei and Port Ar
thur, the japanese have both leaves of the
gate of the gulf of Pechili in their possess
ion. Wei Hai-Wei is almost opposite Port
Arthur, and was regarded as fiji ly as strong
and capable of a prolonged defence. That
it might have been held for months by any
other people than the Chinese is scarcely
open to question. The Chinese, however,
can neither take nor hold The Krupp
guns, the Notifications deliberately con-
structed at great expense by European en-
gineers, have been of no value to people
who lacked not only the skill but the cour-
age to use them. Port Arthur would not
have fallen so easily had not three-quart-
ess of its defenders run away before the
fight began. Its capture was like Gibraltar
taken after skrmish. With Wei-IIai-
Wei the japanese have taken what was left
of the Chinese navy, and now the approach
by water to Taku, whose forts guard the
mouth of the river leading to Picking, is
cleared for the invaders. The military col
lapse of China is complete, and it reveals
the fact that China has really acquired no
| knowledge of the modern art of war. Her
defence against Japan has not been much
better than her resistance to the Anglo
| French invasion of thirty-live years ago.
