EXCESSIVE RATES.
An Interstate Decision Against
the Southern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission today, in
an opinion by Commissioner Glenn
ents, announced it's decision in the case
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
against the Southern Pacific company
and other carriers, relating to the le-
gality of sales on steel rails and other
iron and steel articles from Pueblo
Col, to San Francisco. The complain
ant alleged that an unreasonable
charge of $1.60 per hundred pounds was
made on these articles, while the rates
from the East were much less. The
commission held that the rates COM
planned of were unreasonable and I'M
just, and ordered that the rates from
Pueblo to San Francisco should not
exceed 45 cents per 100 pounds on steel
rails and railway fastenings, and 371a
cents per 100 pounds on smaller arti-
cles of iron, and that the rates shall
never exceed Is per cent of those
charged on like traffic from Chicago to
San Francisco.

FEELING EASIER.
Nearly All the Extra Guard Ships
in the BosphOrOus.

NSTANTINOPLP, Dec. H.
United States Minister Terrell received
advices from Caesarea and Adana to-
day announcing the safety Of the Am
erican missionaries at those places.
All the extra guardships except the
German one are now in tht Bosphorus
and the foreign population of this city
and vicinity breathes somewhat easier.
The streets are still thoroughly pa
trolled by the military police, and the
troops here have been reinforced.
This, however, does not dispel the fear
that the end is not yet. The exchange
of notes between the ambassadors and
the porte continues and there is said to
be much of an important nature in the
situation which remains to be told.
Much of this comforting, however, is
known to be in connection with the
sufferings and privations of the home
less thousands in Asiatic Turkey and
the steps taken or to be taken for their
relief.

TORN TO PIECES BY THE Ex-
PLOsION Or DROWNED IN
THE SEA.
LOST WHEN HELP WAS NEAR.
Another Steamer Was PreDarinr
TO Rescue the Crew Whose
Ship Was Dismasted.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. H.
The German ship Athena, from New
York for Bremen, was lost at sea on
sunday, Dec. 1. together with the
captain and fifteen men, who were
part OF a crew of twenty, the first
mate, second mate and three sea-
men being picked up by the British
steamer Tafna, bound for this port.
The awful accident was due to an
explosion of the ships cargo of
naphtha and nitro-glycerin. The ex-
plosion occurred while the Athena
was lying in helpless condition off
Cape May, N. ]. Following is a list
of those lost:
CAPT. NJ. HAAK.

AN AWFUL FATE.
The Athena left New York Dec. 10
with a cargo of naphtha in barrels
and several hundred cases of nitro
glycerin. She experienced severe
weather until Friday. That day she
had all her masts carried away and
sprang a leak. Her bow sank down
into the water and the deck was sub
merged up to where the foremast
had been. On Saturday morning the
Tafna was sighted. Distress sig
nails were raised, but on account of
the heavy seas the British steamer
could not get near her. The Tafna
signaled that she would stand by
until Sunday. Sunday morning about
8 o'clock the Tafna approached the
Athena, and when within cables
length of her a flame was seen to
shoot out of the center of the deck
and the port holes at the stern. A
terrific explosion followed, and in
stantly every man on board the
doomed ship were either thrown or
jumped into the icy water. The
Tafna's boats were only able to pick
up six. 1t is supposed that the re-
naming fourteen were so injured
by the explosion or numbed by the
cold water that they were unable to
battle with the heavy sea, which
was, running at the time. The Tafna
lay by for two hours before contin-
uing on her voyage. The only theory
that can be advanced for the eX-
plosion is that the side of the ves-
sci was sprung during the heavy
weather and the barrels of eXplo-
sive oil rubbing together caused a
spark which ignited their contents,
On Saturday afternoon the vessels
drifted apart, and the Athena's crew
had given up all hope of being saved,
but at daybreak on Sunday morn
ing the Tafna was again sighted.
The Athena was owned by Aubor-
chard & Rostwick, of Bremen. She
was 1883 tons register and was
built in Newburyport, Mass, in 1873.
Her cargo was valued at $4,000.
When the Tafna finally parted from
the wrecked vessel the hulk was
about 1926 miles from Cape May
The sea was covered with casks Of
naphtha and wreckage.

ored to arouse British indignation against
the w. c. L. U. as oppressors of the col
ored people.
Speaking of the affair, a local member
of the W. C. T. U. said: THE point at
issue seems to be that Mrs Rounds, in
a recent letter to a Chicago paper,
which Miss Willard sent TO Fraternity,
quoted the first half of the Cleveland
resolution containing the gist of the
whole matter, and omitted the second as
being barely an addendum. Miss Bal
garnce charges this is wilful classifying,
and makes many astounding statements,
which only those ignorant of the long
time attitude of the w. C. T. u. could
be induced to accept as facts. Lady
Henry Somerset has sent a letter to the
leading London journals, in which she
asks that the resolution published at

LOWER CALIFORNIA MINES.
Gay Lombard Will Send Down n
Five-Stamp Mill.

Gay Lombard has returned from
Lower California and is enthusiastic
over the outlook for his properties
down there. They are situated 70 miles
below San Diego, and about 60 miles
inland, and the road to them is not Of
the best, even for such mountainous
country.
The company is now working two
properties. and is known as the Fortu-
nate Gold Mining and Milling COM
pany.
A force Of twenty men is ut work,
operations having commenced four
months ago. and one of the shafts was
sunk 100 feet, when a crosscut was run
20 feet without finding any hanging
wall. The ore in that runs SIS in sill
yer.
The other shaft was sunk 60 feet and
80 foot cross cut run each way, show
ing a two foot vein of ore running $3.50
to the ton. The ore is of the finest free
milling to be found anywhere, and Mr.
Lombard will send down a five-stamp
mill that will be put to dropping on
ore as speedily as 1t can be transported
and put in place. He is now figuring
with Fraser & Chalmers for the mill
and machinery, and will within a few
days leave for Boston, returning again
to this city and intending to be again
on the ground by Jan. to start the
mill. Chris Diehl is the only other Salt
Laker in on these propositions. A sack
of the ore is expected here daily for
comparison with the American product.
The laws of that country, Mr.. Lom-
bard states. calls for a duty Of ) per
cent. On net production. There is a 3
per cent. duty on production, and per
cent on export, that is the basing for
the aggregate.
Miners are paid $3.50 per day, and the
above men $2.25 per day, such stipend
being in Mexican money, carrying with
It the usual shrinkage when converted
to American money. The labor is al
most wholly Mexican and Indian.
The mining laws of that country are
widely different from those here. one
feature being the size, as compared
to this country. There they are 100
metres square, or about S2S feet square
when thrown into our American way
of committing distance.

THE STRIKE IN THE EAGLE.
Assays show SO in Cold to the Ton

Assays show SO in Gold to the Ton.
Fne Herald yesterday mentioned the
redent strike in the Eagle mine, located
mile and a half south of the Mer-
cur mime, Camp Floyd district. Since
then Sam Raney, one Of the fortunate
owners of the property, has had an
assay made from an average of the or
brought in by him, the result showing
nearly SO in gold to the ton. This is
very encouraging news, and as the
values viii doubtless increase as depth
is obtained. the boys feel as if they
owned the world with a fence around
It. The contractor has to sink fifty
feet yet before his contract is finished,
and when this is done it is believed
that another bonanza will be added to
the galaxy Of Camp Floyd'S producing
mines. It is expected that another lot
of ore from the new strike will be re-
ceived today. The owners of the Eagle
have already received a handsome offer
for the property; but should they de-
ci ka not to sell they will incorporate a
company and develop the mine at once
