TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 29-Inquiry at
the Northern Pacific Steamship COM
pany's Offices reveals that no tidings have
yet been received from the missing
steamer Strathnevis. which cleared for
Yokohama October u. and left Victoria
the next day She is now forty-eight
days out from Tacoma. Second Officer
Smith, of the steamer Tacoma, which
arrived last night says:
Il have not given up hope that the
Strathnevis will yet turn up all right.
She must have run short of coal and put
in at some port in the Aleutian Islands
They have plenty of condensed milk and
flour on board.
If Captain Pattie did put his vessel in
there, it can be picked up all right by a.
British man-of-war sent out from either
Victoria or Yokohama, but if the Strath-
nevis is disabled and drifts much south Of
the track followed by Oriental steam
ships and sailing vessels, the men are
liable to die of starvation before being
picked up. If the steamship finds a. snug
anchorage in the Aleutian Islands, it is
liable TO lie there all winter, making
Yokohama in the spring"
The Strathnevis made TWO trips on the
Northern Pacific line. She carried a.
cargo of 1000 tons of general freight
ana mad a passenger list OF 10 Chinese,
most of them being merchants from Chi
cago, New York, Buffalo and Philadel-
phia, who were returning home for their
first visit after the Chinese war. Five
deported Chinese from this state and
Montana were also on board.
The StrathneviS is commanded by Cap
tain James Pattie, whose officers are as
follows: Chief officer, j. S. Duncan;
second officer. W. Robertson; third officer,
w. Mcfarland; chief engineer, J. Rose;
second engineer, A. Bell; third engineer,
L. Cutter; fourth officer, j. Love; purser.
J. Mcdonald.
The vessel belongs to the "Strath" line
of Glasgow. She was built in New Castle
on-Tyne last year, and was launched in
July, 1894. Her length is 365 feet over all
and she has dead weight carrying &C.
pacity of 200 tons. Her speed is ten and
one-half knots an hour and in appearance
she realizes the ideal of modern fast
freghter.
With passengers and crew, the number
of persons on board was about 80.

Belief That the Republicans Will

BELIEF That the Republicans Will
Attempt to ReOrganize lit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-There is a
growing probability that the Republi-
cans at their caucus on next Monday
will decide to attempt to reorganize
the Senate on Republican lines, and
that a candidate for president pro
tenn will then be decided upon.
Quite a number of Republican sena-
tors. including three or four members
of the steering committee, were at the
capitol today and an informal ex-
change of views among them resulted
in the general adoption of this conclu-
sion.
There is a difference of opinion as
to the wisdom of attempting more
than the election of presiding officer
in the beginning, but the preponder-
ance of opinion is that action at that
time will be confined to this. If the
Republican candidates succeeds in this
contest, the Republicans will then
place candidates in the field for the
other elective officers.
So far Secretary F'rye's name is the
only one heard in connection with the
office of president pro tenn, but there
are several aSpirantS for the other Of
fees. Among those who are spoken of
as secretary of the Senate are Hon.
George c. Gorham, who formerly held
this office Mr.. Durfee, who was for
many years clerk of the Senate com
mittee on finance and George Barber,
of Kentucky For sergeant-at-arms,
F. K. Valentine, of Nebraska, ex-ser-
geant-at-arms; Captain Curtis, of New
Hampshire; Major Grant, of North
Carolina, and Mr. Shaw, of Washing
ton state. are already in the ield.

CONCORD DAMAGED.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29.-Among
the passengers on the steamer Gaelic
from Japan today was Rear Admiral
Carpenter, who has just been relieved
of command of the China station. He
is en- route to Washington on waiting
orders. Commodore McNeir, who has
been appointed to succeed Admiral
Carpenter, will sail for China tomor-
rcrE on the steamer Rio de Janeiro.
Advices brought by the Gaelic state
that the United States gun5oat Con-
cord was seriously damaged by going
ashore at Joss House Spit. on the coast
of North China. 1t is said that the
Concord was coming down the river
from Foo Chew in company with the
Monocacy on Oct. 81. when she ran
aground. She was hauled off but it is
feared she has been seriously damaged
and that the cement foundations Of her
engines have been cracked.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 29.-The vast yield
of sugar beets in Nebraska and the ina
bility of farmers to dispose of the enorm-
Gus quantity as rapidly as convenient, has
provoked some peculiar violations of the
revenue laws. A still has been captured
in Sherman county, from which whisky
was being manufactured. 1t was owned
by Charles Reidel a farmer. The quail
ity was good and fears are entertained
by revenue officers that others will en-
gage in the business. Sherman county
is one of the twenty-four in the fifth
division of the state, over which Deputy
Eastman has supervision. He became
aware some months ago that such
still was in operation in that county,
from remarks made by men in that neigh
borhoo1. He became very anxious to
locate it, but was handicapped from the
start by the fact that those who knew
anything about it were inclined to shield
the operator and protect him from the
officers. After some time a person volun-
teered the information that the operator
used sugar beetS from which to manu-
facture the spirits. Latham then made
inquiries as to who raised sugar beets
and in this way formed a very good idea.
Reidel claimed TO have had the property
for fifteen years, but bad only been man
ufacturing spirits for year, and then
only for his own use. There was Suffl-
Gent evidence on all sides, however, to
disprove both OF these statements. The
OUTFIT was all made of copper, of ap-
proved pattern, and was in good condi-
ton. The still had a capacity OF nifty
gallons a day. An old cookstove and a
lishment Reidel had hidden the various
portions of his still and was SLOW in
surrendering them until the was threat
ened with the law.

THE oriental nations are VIGOROUSLY
slow in forming business alliances
with foreigners. Competition is eX-
tremely close. The expert agent of
one of the most important ship-build-
ing firms in the world was in the
orient for three years before he had
secured a single contract, and yet the
press of the United States cries out
because their capable but brand new
manufactures do not capture tbs
field in two months time.
Whatever may have been the ex-
perience of China n regard to her war
material, no one cam say that Japan
HAS been disappointed. She knows
what she wants, he- officers are COM
petent, and she has shown a courage
that no other government m the
world has exhibited in buying the
most advanced types of ships ard guns
Furnished by private European manu-
facturers
THE last four years have seen the
birth and growth to maturity of ex-
tensive plants in the United States for
the manufacture of all kinds of war
material and they are wise in making
q push for business here. The limit
of demand for home consumption of
war material is already in sight in the
United States; the manufacturers
must get into the foreign market ami
Japan is the place to begin; but to
secure patronage they must work.
There is a strong popular senti-
ment in Japan in favor of the United
States. and independently of this the
United States has the military advan-
tage to Japan of being a near neighbor
who viii never go TO war with her
This is appreciated there and when
the Japanese are satisfied that as good
war material can be bought in the
United States as in Europe they viii
buy it in large quantities. There is

future TO some extent by way of ex-

PR0HIBITIONISTS.
COMING CONVENTION WILL SOON
BE DECIDED UPON.
Broad-Guage Element of the Party
Are Inclined to Offer the Presi-
Dental Nomination to st. john,
of Kansas.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29-The national
committee of the Prohibition party will
meet in Chicago Wednesday, December
II. to consider the location of the ma
tional convention.
The committee has two members
from each state. Professor Samuel
Dickie of Albion, Mich, is chairman,
and among the prominent Prohibition
leaders who represent their states on
the committee are: Ex-Governor st.
John of Kansas, Samuel Small of Geor-
gia. the evangelist; Mrs. Helen NJ. Gou-
gar of Indiana, L. B. Logan OF ONO,
c. L. Bentley of New York, Wlllam
p. Wardell of New York and Samuel
D. Hastings of Wisconsin.
The Prohibitionists are inclined to
hold their convention early in 1896,
probably during April. Unless the
Prohibition convention is set for April,
it is not likely to be held until June.
Chicago, Cleveland, Baltimore, Pitts
burg and Des Moines are at present
the most active contestants tor the
place of holding the convention. From
10 900 to 10000 people will attend. More
than usual interest attaches to its pro-
ceedings because of the fact Chat the
MATTE of the union between the Pro-
hibitionists and Populists, which is be-
ing urged by certain leaders in both
parties, will come up for final settle
ment.
1t is said the broad guage" element
in the convention will attempt to nom
mate Ex-Governor st. John OF Kansas
for president if he will run.
In case he declines to make the race
they will, it is said, unite upon r. S
n A Nj
Michigan or c. E. Bentley of Nebraska
for the nomination.
The opposition to the broad guage
element is concentrating upon John G.
Wooley, the lecturer who nominally re.
sides in Chicago, as it's candidate fol
the presidential nomination. In the
eastern delegation, Joshua lowering OF
Maryland will have many supporters
| for the first place on the ticket.

Various Committees.

Various committees
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-Ex-Speaker
and Speaker-to-be Reed is guarding the
Iaraake-up of the committees with the
gStest care. AS his selection as a
speaker was a. foregone conclusion. he
has had ample opportunity during the
recess to block out the committees and
decide upon the various chairmanShTpS
The members themselves generally
wrote to him their views and aspira-
tions 1t IS believed that before he ar
rived here that almost all the impor-
tant places had been decided upon. 1t
is understood that a few of the i'm
portant assignments are yet in con-
troversy. 1t is probable that Mr.. Reed
will consult eX-SpeaNer Crisp and
other Democratic leaders as to the
minority of the representation on com
mittees.
From the best information obtain
able. it seems likely Mr.. Payne of New
York will lead the ways and means
committee, MIR. Hit of Illinois, foreign
affairs; Henderson of Iowa, appropri-
ations; Grosvenor of Ohio, rivers and
harbors; Walker Of Massachusetts,
banking and currency, and Hepburn of
Iowa. interstate commerce. Mr.. Ding

connection with the Craftsmanship of

barrass Mr. Reed, consented to having

viii however. be a member OF the
WAYS and means committee, and will
be given second place on banking and

1t is thought all the others IN the PIT
are Italians and Austrians.
There was some difficulty EXPERIENCED
in identifying several of the bodies owing
to the terrible Disagreement they hau uii-
dergone.
William Ospell and four companions
succeeded in getting away by running;
Five Italians got out alive. one OF
the Italians who went down on the
cable car for the purpose OF rendering
assistance, was killed by second tan
of rock. Despite the dangers. Patrick
H. Kelly and John McGinn descended
the mine in the car. They succeeded
in organizing the frightened men VINO
had not been killed outright, secured
tools and commenced to remove the
dead bodies.
Mark Critchley was removed to his
home, suffering from a fracture of the
spine. Patrick Burns was also taken
to his home. Both will recover.
The bodies believed to be in the pit
are those of James Fox, James Clark
and four Italians.
The Cause.
The accident is supposed to have
been caused principally by the heavy
rains, which opened creviceS in many
places.
The mine is owned by the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel company, of
New York and Scranton. Pa. Clinton
Stephens is the contractor in charge.
and the men killed and injured were
in his employ.
First Intimation.
The accident occurred at Tilley-Fos-
ter, small town located near Carmel
The first intimation to those below
was the low rumbling sound which
preceded the fall OF the mass But
the shock came so suddenly that few
We're able to reach places of safety
Half dozen of the workers who were
directly under the ledge from which
the mass of earth fell. were buried
under tons of debris The fall was ire
mendous, for great pieces of rock and
ore yere carried along in the avalanche.
One of the first to be brought 10 the
surface was Foreman Murtha. He
was found near the top, pinned down
by a huge piece of rock. The rescuing
party dug him out and bore MIN, still
alive, to the fresh air. Murtha was
badly mangled and his clothes were
| torn nearly from his back. He was
taken to his home, but died after
reaching there Murtha was married
and his wife, along with the wives of
the unfortunates, stood at the top of
the slope while the rescuers were at
work.
/ Were Awe Stricken.
All of the bodies were horribly man
gled. One by one the bodies were
brought out and carried to the car
penter shop, where an awe-stricken
crowd of people looked upon the re-
mains and uttered explanations of woe
when the identity of victim was made
known Some of those assembled
sought anxiously after friends or rela-
tives supposed to be in the ruins in
the pit
Many accidents have occurred at the
Tilley-Foster but none has been attend
ed by so great loss of life as this.
