Ship AberfoyIe Drifted About for
Five Weeks.
THE. CAPTAIN CRAZY DRUNK
His Death and That of the Mate Left the
Ship Without Navigator
and Helpless.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-The British
ship Aberfoyle, Captain Wallace, has
arrived in port, "a days from New cas-
tie. N S. W., with a cargo Of coal. Early
this year the Aberfoyle sailed from
Frederickstadt for New Castle, arriving
at the latter port after a most thrilling
voyage.
Captain George NJ. Robertson was
then in command of the ship. She was
only out a few days when the master
began drinking and wound up with
big spree. He was totally unfit to
handle the vessel, and shutting himself
up in his cabin he resigned the COM
mand temporarily to First officer Percy
Norton In a severe storm Mate Nor
ton was washed overheard and the
Aberfoyle was left to the mercies of the
elements without a pilot to steer her
through her peril.
The man at the wheel knew enough
to keep the vessels head to the south
east, but more than once the crew de-
SPARED of their lives as wave after
wave broke over the bow and side.
The captain still kept up his spree and
finally became so violent that the crew
placed him under restraint. He was
then imprisoned in the cabin, where
he swallowed the contents of a bottle
of carbOlic acid, and in a few minutes
fell dead The body of the captain
was buried on the following day and
the bOatswain assumed command of
the ship.
For five weeks the ship drifted about
aimlessly on the ocean, the men being
without the slightest knowledge of
their Whereabouts. The steamer Tag
liaferrO was finally sighted and signals
Of distress were raised. The captain
of the steamer, on learning the cause
of the vessels distress, placed his sec
ond mate in charge Of her, and she was
sailed to Melbourne. At the latter port
Captain Wallace took command.

house, 20 feet deep and 300 feet long
in circular form.
Machine shops, 6OX15O
Store room, 50x100.
Wood working shop, 60X300.
Coal bunkers of 1900 to 1900 tons ca
pacity, to be operated by power.
There are also to be numerous small
er buildings, including an oil house,
sand house, tool house. etc, and in
addition to these improvements extern
sive yards will be built and several
miles of track laid therein.
To light the buildings and grounds
the company will require from 10 to 20
arc lights, and from so to Is horse pow
er will be needed to operate the ma
chinery.
The company has long been DESTROYS
Of bringing it's shops to Spokane. All
the trains on it's branch lines start from
here, and this is their terminus. The
division superintendent lives here and
has his office. The train dispatcher's
office is here, and this has been the op-
Grating headquarters for some time.
Under existing conditions there is a
double waste of time with the passen-
ger trains, since they are detained here
taking on and unloading baggage, and
then further time is consumed in chang
ing engines at Sprague. If this were
made division headquarters, this could
be attended to at the same time. Other
considered by the company
are superior fire protection, the better
opportunity to employ men when it is
desired to add an extra force and the
saving that would be effected by bring
ing rolling stock on the branch lines
here for repairs instead Of hauling it
46 miles away to Sprague.

Seattle, Oct. 27.-"The Northern Pa

tain conditions" said Receiver Bur-
leigh today. Spokane knows what
those conditions are, and if they are

A BIG BLOW ON LAKE MICHIGAN
Small Craft Had q Bad Time in the
Gale.


Gale.
Chicago, Oct 27.--Lake Michigan was
swept by a terrific gale today.
During the afternoon from 1 to
o'clock the wind blew off the west shore
at the rate of Al miles an hour.
The small craft had bad time in the
sea that suddenly rolled up.
The gale was stronger along the east
shore, where all kinds of shipping had
a rough time.
STEAMER AGROUND.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-Dispatches from
st. Joseph, Mich. say:
The steamer Peerless, Of the Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior line, went
aground at the entrance of st. Joseph
harbor this evening and lies in a peril
Gus situation.
At midnight the boat had shifted over
on her side, SO the gangWays were un-
der water.
No tugs were available in st. Jo-
seph harbor, and it was impossible to
render any assistance to the disabled
steamer until the sea runs down.
1t was feared that before the gale
ceased the Peerless would be a wreck,
and possibly all on board would be
lost

PROBABLE DATE OF THE CONVENTION


Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Carter,
chairman of the national committee,
questioned today as to the probable
time of holding the next republican
convention said he had not conferred
with the other members of the commit
tee regarding the date. but as six
months notice must be given after
the meeting of the committee, the con-
ventiOn could not be called earlier than
about the middle of June. He thought,
however, it was the general desire not
to have the convention meet until af-
ter the adjournment of congress, and
he did not think it probable that con-
gress would be ready to adjourn until
about the middle of June. A fair infer
ence was that it would not be called UNI
til the last of June.

WHAT IS kEQulnrD OF SPOKANE
The Improvements ~ Guild Bring In MOO
or 500 Wagc.EarneTs.
Spokane. wash. Oct.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. Is.
This matter has been in the hands
of a committee of Spokane citizens for
several weeks, and it is believed that
the conditions referred to by Mr.. Bur-
leigh have been substantially complied
with. The requirements are not oner-
Gus, but they take time to work out.
In brief the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company has expressed its will
ingness to build it's car shops here If
the citizens of Spokane will secure for
it a triangular piece of ground in the
east end Of the city. This piece of
land is oWned'by Dennis 81 Bradley. 1t
is less than two acres in area, but the
railroad company considers it essential
to the proposed improvements.
The plan is to build the car shops
and other extensive improvements on
the Northern Pacific's land bounded by
Sprague street, The river and North
Front street. This would put the inn
proVements between the railroad and
the river. Many will recall the fact
that four years ago the railroad COM
pany graded that piece of land.
1t is the company's desire to straight
en- the main line at that point. The
road now sWerves in there toward the
river. The plan is to run the line
straight, and thus give a clear area
for the shops ana other improvements.
To do this it will be necessary to cross
a small tract Of land owned by Dennis
& Bradley.
Of Spokane will secure US that piece
of land" said the officials of the North
ern Pacific, I'VE will build the car shops
there"
COMMITTEES WORK.
This proposal was made several weeks
since, and came without solicitation
from Spokane. 1t was promptly taken
up by a committee composed of Dr.. N.
Fred Essig, j. N. Glover, j. r. Taylor,
George Turner and w. S. Norman.
These gentlemen have had several con-
ferences with Mr.. Dennis and Mr.. Brad
ley, and the result of these meetings
was a proposition from those gentlemen
which the committee has laid before
Mr.. Burleigh. In brief, Dennis &
Bradley otIer TO relinquish the desired
tract, provided the railroad company
will be content with rs foot right of
way across their addition. This offer
is now before Mr.. Burleigh at Seattle,
and the committee think it will be found
satisfactory, and accepted inside of a
few days.
This committee has also been nego-
tiating with the city officials for water,
and with the Washington Water Pow
er Company for power and light, and
satisfactory conclusions have been
reached on these points.
THE PLANS.
The matter has assumed such definite
shape that the plans have been pre-
pared for the improvements, and are
now in the possession of Receiver Bur
leigh. They call for an immediate eX-
penditure of $150,OOO. The buildings
will be of brick or stone, and practic-
ally fire proof.
The plans call for a % stall round
