Blk Passengers and the Steward
ess of the Steamer Iona
Cremated
BY a Fire Which Broke Out on
Board Between Edinburgh
and London.
Great Confusion Among Passen-
gers, All Of Whom Might
Have Escaped.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Fire broke out on
board the steamer Iona, from Edin.
burgh to London The flames spread
with SO much rapidity that before aid
reached the vessel six Of the passengers
and the stewardess OF the Iona were
burned to death. The fire was put out
after four hours struggle.
The fire broke out when the Iona was
OF Clacton, in the fore part Of the YES
sci. The passengers were aroused and
it was supposed that all had escaped
from the burning cabin. While the
crew We're busy fighting the flames, SOL
dlers on board assisted i'll lowering the
boats md i'll supplying passengers with
life belts. There was no wind and the
sea was perfectly smooth. There was,
however, 80 much excitement and con-
fusion among the passengers, that the
captain was unable to restore order.
Suddenly it was discovered some of the
women and children We're missing.
Ihe stewardess re-entered the burning
cabin, it's presumed, to try to rescue
those Who We're missing, and she also
persisted. The darkness and the VOL
umes Of smoke issuing from the burn
ing cabin combined to make a terrible
scene. Here there was a passenger
rushing to and fro in anguish seeking
his wife, and there was another search
ing for his daughter. 1t was not until
three compartments had been burned
that it became possible to enter the
cabin, where were discovered the
charred remains of six women and II
child. Then the engines Of the steamer
We're started up again and the vessel
proceeded on its way to London.

LAKES ARE VANISHING.
Several Bodies of Water in Iowa said to
BE Drying Up

Several Bodies of Water in Iowa Said to
BE Drying Up
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. 16.-An inter
esting investigation has just been fill
ished by the Sioux City Scientific asso.
citation Of the causes which have led to
the drying up Of so many lakes and
ponds all over the state and Of the pros
pect Of their ever filling up again. The
conclusion reached. is that the lakes
were never fed by springs, but that, be-
ing situated Oh low ground, they have
simply acted as reservoirs for the sur
rounding country during wet seasons.
Indians who lived in this locality before
the earliest white settlements, report to
the association that most of the lakes
have been dry before since they can re-
member, and filled up again as a result
of several wet seasons in succession.
The members of the association doubt,
however, whether the conditions which
made it possible for the lakes to fill up
before after drying out will ever exist
again, and incline to the opinion that
those which disappear now are gone for
good unless artificial means are resorted
to to refill them.

Native Hawaiians Afraid to Trust Them
selves TO the Care of Physicians.
TACOMA, Sept. F.-Miss Nettie Bur
haus, formerly in the Tacoma public
schools, and for two years a resident Of
Honolulu, in a letter to her sister, indi-
Gates that cholera will carry off a large
portion of the natives, but they will not
report cholera victims to the board of
health. The natives believe the white
people want to poison them, and they
therefore refuse to take medicine. In
one instance, a physician found natives
burying a cholera victim alive. The
physician prevented the burial until the
man was dead.
Honolulu is reported as being very
dirty and is being cleaned as a result Of
the presence of cholera.

Minneapolis Millers Will Make a Request

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE en-
ployes of the Minneapolis flour mills
will appoint a committee this week TO
call upon G. A. Pillsbury with a view of
securing a restoration Of wages. This
is a result Of the meeting Of millers at
Labor Temple. The immediate cause
for the meeting was the fact that the
Minneapolis Flour Milling company
Saturday cut the wage schedule Of its
employees 20 cents per head. This puts
them on the cut basis now in force in
the Consolidated and Pillsbury COM
panies, and the millers feel that in the
face of improving times the cut is un-
necessarily hard.

Nevada Congressman Talks on the Future
Prospects for Free Coinage
New YORK, Sept. 17.-Congressman
Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, chair
man Of the executive committee of the
National Silver party, talked to a World
reporter on the future Of free and un-
limited silver coinage as a political
issue.
II recognize the fact" he said, "that
it business continues to improve, and it
turns out that the improvement is per-
manent, the silver issue is dead. The
only discouraging feature of the situa-
ton is the outflow of gold. At this par-
ticular time there ought to be a market
abroad for u staple export products,
wheat and cotton, but England does not

1t may be that conditions will change
and the beginning of expectation will
cause all inflow of gold, but to us who
believe i'll the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver the situation is one that
should make it evident that the word
cannot do business with gold alone.
Nevertheless, | am frank to admit that
with the return Of prosperity silver
ceases to be an issue, for when the peo-
pie are occupied with profitable business
affairs they have neither the time nor
the inclination to discuss money cues.
