The Roy somers ashore

Port Townsend, Oct. %. - The
schooner Roy Somers, bound from San
Francisco to Seattle to load lumber, is
ashore at Suke harbor, near Race
rocks, Vancouver island. At 2 O'Clock
this morning, in dense fog and calm
weather, with a heavy ocean swell roll
ing in from the west, the vessel drifted
ashore at high water. With kedge
anchors, the Somers hauled away the
most dangerous appearing rocks, and
Captain Olsen sent the mate across to
Port Angeles to telegraph to. this city
for a tugboat. The tug Wanderer
went down tonight, and will attempt
to move the vessel off at high water
tomorrow morning. Captain Olsen
said the vessel was not damaged ma
terially, except for the timbers being
badly strained, and was not in immedi-
ate danger at present. just as the
Somers went ashore an unknown vessel
narrowly escaped the same fate, but
managed to get clear and sail out into
the open water.

EVERYONE DISCUSTED
Now Looks AS If There Would
Be No Prizefight.
THEY CAN REACH NO AGREEMENT
The Florida Club Has Asked a Post

ponement; Corbett Has Consented
but Fitzsimmons Has Not.
Hot Springs, Oct. 23.-Unless Fitz-
simmons recants and through his man
ager, Martin Julian, accepts the extra
ordinary conditions which confront tie
situation, there will be no contest be-
tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons, unless
it be an impromptu one, short of purse
offerings or ring rules or referee and
seconds, for Corbett says that unless
Fitzsimmons acts the man and accom-
modates himself to circumstances, he
will "send him to the hospital the
first time he meets him, and he will go
quite a way out of his scheduled
theatrical route to meet the attenuated
Australian.
Today there was a conference be-
tween Dan Stuart, Joe Vendig and the
fighters, the latter by proxies, Brady
representing Corbett, and Julian Fitz-
simmons.
Tomorrow the ruling of Chancellor
Leatherman is to be taken before the
supreme court by the attorney.general,
and the tribunal of last appeal may
consume several days in handing down
a final hearing. In view of this fact
and anticipating favorable decision
Dan Stuart called the parties interested
together, and stated the conditions.
Stuart wanted a postponement until
November 8. He argued that, even if
the court of final resort sustained the
decision of the chancellor, it would
take that long to restore confidence and
get the crowd to Hot Springs. Brady,
for Corbett, was willing. Julian was
not. Despite the fact that Corbett
went into training a week before his
prospective opponent, Julian contended
that his man was too ''fine," and that
to train for several days after the orig
inal time would initiate against the
condition of Fitzsimmons.
The proposition was then made to
have the men fight in private for the
main stake, $4,000 side. Here
Stuart interjected an offer of an added
$4,000. Brady was again willing, but
Julian demurred. He opined that the
club, if it pulled the fight off October
81, would have to make good its full

tanglements which have beset the path
of Stuart and Vendig, this cannot be
done. Where month ago hundreds
of excursion parties were being organ
lied for the trip to the fight, there are
none today. Stuart asked for time,
Corbett has granted it, while Fitzsim

THE OLYMPIC VOLCANO
Confirmation of the Report of
Professor Alexander.
MANY SAW THE PHENOMENA
Two Young Elkhunters Felt Earthquake
Shocks and Saw Flames and Smoke
Burst From a Peak.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. a.
Further evidences of an active volcano
in the Olympic mountains have been
received, and serve to confirm the re-
port of Professor Alexander, of the
Smithsonian institution. Two young
men of this city, Ben Pettygrove and
Charles Sally, are just from the Olym-
pic mountains, where they were hunt
ing elk, and report that after expert
encing series of slight earthquake
shocks, covering period of two weeks,
flames and huge volumes of black
smoke were observed ascending from
one of the smaller peaks. Flames
would shoot spasmodically up for a
few hundred feet and then dense vol
umes of black smoke would belch forth
winding up into the clear sky. These
operations were repeated every ten
minutes. Pettygrove and Sally hur-
ried back to town for a fresh supply of
provisions, and will make an effort to
locate the supposed volcano. South Of
Port Townsend last night the sky was
clear, and volcanic phenomena was
witnessed by dozens of people, who de-
scribe the eruptions of smoke in the
same manner as the two elkhunters.
Many navigators on the lower sound
and straits report seeing the strange
sight. and all believe it to be a small
volcano.

Ryde, Isle of Wight, Oct. 21.-The
Frederick Laycock, and having Lord
Dunraven on board, arrived here from
Newport, R. l., this morning, having
left the latter place September %. The
craft was boarded by iuterviewers desir-
GUS of obtaining direct from Lord Dun
raven his version of the disappointing
races for the Americas cup. He said
in substances:
81 have no statement to make on the
subject What I would say has been
we'll threshed out of me during the
fortnight stayed in America after the
races.
He declined to answer question as
to whether he had any feeling toward
the New York Yacht Club, and he re-
fused to comment on the statements by
Sailmaker Ratsey's men when they ar
rived at Cowes, that the race was not
sailed because the buoys had been
changed during the second race, say
ing:
''It would not do any good to discuss
unpleasant matters"
Regarding his plans for future rae
ing Dunraven said:-
81 have no plans. I returned home
after long voyage, and am going to
London, and from there to Wales. 1
do not know what shall do later on. ."
Touching the acceptance by the New
York Yacht Club of the challenge of
Charles Rose, through the Royal Vic
toria Yacht Club, for another series of
races for the Americas cup, Lord Dun
raven remarked:
''The matter was practically settled
when left the United States. Per-
sonally, am glad that it has been SO
easily settled. We had a pleasant and
uneventful voyage across and 1 am
glad to be back.

Portland, Oct. %. - Mr.. George
Ainsworth, eldest son of the late Cap
tain John G. Ainsworth, died at an
early hour yesterday morning at his
late residence, "a Fourth street, after
an illness of several months. The an
nouncement of his death, made yester-
day, was severe shock to the many
friends Of the family, to whom partic-
ulary Captain George was known. No
man in Portland had greater number
of friends.
1t has been known for weeks that
Captain Ainsworth's health was very
poor, and his condition even precari-
GUS. Returning from California, i'm
poverished in health, he had sought to
gain strength under the genial inf1u-
ence of Oregon's cline. It seemed at
first that the battle against fate would
be fairly won, but the promises held
forth were futile. His will was strong,
and he held out valiantly against dis.
ease, but he finally succumbed to amaze.

Dubois, Pa, Oct. 22.-Great anxiety
prevails tonight in the bituminous coal
region, ON account of the strike situa-
ton. The labor leaders are not certain
that the strike will be ordered, and if
not it will be useless for a portion of
the mines to remain idle. Dubois and
Reynoldsville- miners have been idle
for months. Beech Creek and Coal
Green men decided yesterday to sus-
pend, but the whole affair hangs upon
the decision of the Rochester & Pitts
burg Coal & Iron Company's miners at
Punxsutawney and the Berwin White
miners in the Honesdale region. If
the Berwind White miners quit work
the strike will be general throughout
the Beech Creek, Honesdale, Punxsu-
tawney and Dubois fields. If they con-
tinue work it is the opinion that the
strike will be failure at the begin
ming.

ENGLAND AGGRESSIVE
Venezuela Is Arming Herself
to Resist the British.
IT HAS REACHED AN ACUTE STAGE
The American Syndicate Does Not Pro-
pose to Be Cheated Out of
It's Gold Lands.

New York, Oct. 21.-That the Aene-
zuelan question is approaching an acute
stage, with possibilities of resistance by
British aggression, was signifed by DIS
closures made in New York today, on
| the best Of authority.
The government of Venezuela has
provided itself with modern armament
and arms, and among other supplies
has ordered ten improved Maxim guns
from the British firm that manufac-
lures them. The order was not placed
through any firm, and the English
manufacturers, it is supposed, do not
want the destination of the guns made
known. At the same time, the syndi-
cate of United States capitalists, which
has secured concession in the Vene-
zuelan gold lands claimed by Great
Britain, is preparing trained force of
prospectors, miners and workmen for
the field. William N. Stafford. counsel
for the Orinoco Company, the Ameri-
can syndicate, made plain today the
position assumed by the Orinoco Com
pany. He said:
The company propose to work its
concession without delay. 1t will send
prospectors along the line of the Imat-
aca mountains, whose foothills are sup
posed to be rich with gold. That ter
ritory is, of course, in the company's
concession, and has always been marked
on the company's map. But now that
there is a prospect of gold there, Great
Britain claims it. The arrangements
are being made to send out men there
to develop the company's concession
without any intent to start a contro
versy-but to assert the company's
rights. Besides the mines, there are
other properties in the concession await
ing development.
'Great Britain refers to the Schom-
bergh line, but the fact is she has gone
beyond that. This line is purely i'm
aginary. Sir Robert Schombergh
visited Venezuela in 1910, and, start
ing at Point Barima, merely drew
line southwark on the map. The
Venezuela government has conclusive
evidence that he made no survey.
In 1850 Great Britain asserted it
had no intention to occupy or usurp
the disputed territory. So matters
went until 1866. In that year rich
gold fields, yielding $4,000, 600 year.
were discovered west of the Schom-
bergh line, between the Guiana and Pa
rama rivers. They are known as the
Barima gold fields, and are fifty or six
ty miles west of the Schombergh line.
Nevertheless, Great Britain prompt
ly stepped in and claimed that terri
tory, and so she has gone on since,
claiming land wherever gold has been
discovered. The Orinoco Company
claims these gold fields as being in its
concession, and proposes to stand up
for its perfectly clear title to them.

EXTENT OF DRoUTH.
One of the Seyerest and Most Prolonged
Ever Known in the United States.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Reports re
ceived at the weather bureau indicate
that the present drouth is one of the
severest, most prolonged and most gen.
orally known in the United States
since the bureaus organization. There
are few places which show an excep.
tion to the general rule, but in most OF
the country, unless perhaps in the West
and Southwest, there does not appear
to have been heavy rain for the past
two months or more. Where there has
been exceptional precipitation, it has
been confined to small areas. In some
parts of the country the drouth began
in the latter part of July, but in most
sections it did not become markedly
pronounced until in August.
The entire Atlantic coast, with a
few exceptions, such as Charleston, S.
c., and Augusta, Ga, shows defici-
ency below the normal rainfall since
the first of August, amounting in some
instances to almost half the average
precipitation. The Ohio and Missis-
sippi valleys reported similar condi-
tions, as has part of the Pacific coast.
The lake region has Jared better than
other sections east of Mississippi. In
parts of the Rocky mountains, as in
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada,
there have been excessive rains during
this period, and along the Pacific coast,
from San Francisco to Olympia, there
were good rains in September, as there
have been in places since in that Sec
tion. The greatest complaints come
from West Virginia, Kentucky and
Western Pennsylvania.
Fortunately, in some parts of the
country the drouth did not set in until
after the principal crops were matured,
consequently the effect has not been so
disastrous as if it begun earlier. In
some places it has had slight effect
on the planting of winter wheat, and
complaints come from many quarters
of the inconvenience of securing water
for domestic and stock purposes, many
small streams, stock ponds, springs and
wells having become dry. Pastures
have been injured in many states. It
is also noticeable that there has been
an increase of typhoid fever over the
normal in many sections where drouth
is severe.

the stock of the Anaconda Mining
Company at $25 share, for thirty

Important Deci-ion Handed Down by

Important Deci-ion Handed Down by
California's Supreme Court.
Los Angeles, Oct. 22.-The opinion
of the supreme court in the case of the
Market. Street Railway Company, of
San Francisco, VS.. Hellman, on appeal
from the lower court, was handed
down yesterday, confirming the valid
ity of 81 1000, 900 worth of bonds issued
by the street railway company The
decision is of great Importance, not
only in San Francisco railroad circles
and to bond buyers, bat to other cities
having bonded railroads. The decision
appears to have sadly confused the re-
porters of the local press, for despite
the efforts to obtain some information
as to its contents, the best they could
do yesterday was to furnish a wholly
incorrect statement. -s-ssss-as5-ss.s4 4
In October, 1898, eleven street rail-
road corporations were consolidated
under the name of the Market-Street
Railway Company. The consolidated
companies own nearly every .street-car
line in the city, and have franchises
for some 100 miles of track. There
was an outstanding bonded debt owed
by the consolidation amounting to &c.
035, 900, and to refund this indebted
ness and get more money for construct
ion purposes, the directors made a
blanket mortgage ON all the property
of the combine for SIT, 500, 900. New
bonds for the amount of the outstand-
ing bonds were to be issued at once
under this mortgage, and substituted
for the old issue. Subsequently the
manner in which the bonds were is
sued was attacked, but the decision
sustains the action of the company.
