AMERICAN LINE STEAMSHIP ST.

BRANCH,
JUST BEYOND THE BREAKERS,
ENCOMPASSED BY HEAVY FOG
AND WITH SURF RUNNING
\ HIGH.
This Morning to Release the
Vessel.

LONG BRANCH, N. J., Jan. 25.-In
~ heavy fog with the wind in the north
west and the surf running far up the
beach a few minutes after 1 o'clock
this morning, the new American line
steamship ST. Paul, bound in, went
ashore in front of the Grand View
house. All of the 700 passengers were
today transferred to land. AT no time
were the passengers in danger Siren
uous efforts are beng made to pull
the st. Paul from her dangerous posi-
ton. She is in 20 feet Of water, just in
the outside edge of the breakers about
BOO feet from the shore, with her head
pointing at an acute angle west and
I towards the shore.
1t has been a day of excitement for
the people of Long Branch and vicin-
ity. Never in the history of the town
has there been such mid winter in
fiux of eXcursionists as there was to-
day. North and south bound trains
deposited crowds of curiosity -seekers
at the Long Branch and East Long
Branch depots. The farmers for miles
around came with their wives and
families, The objective point was East
Long Branch, where the big American

lay washed by the merciless breakers
the cynosure of all eyes, looking like
huge hotel in the surf, with her iron
hull, nearly an eighth of a mile in
length, embedded deeply in the sandy
beach. She lay so close to the shore
that the people on her decks early in
the day could be heard speaking to
each other very distinctly by those on
the beach. There was evidently no
uneasiness felt by the passengers or
crew of the unlucky vessel, as they
all seemed to take matters philosoph-
ically, awaiting anything that might
turn up to vary the mOnotony of being

An interesting statement on the

has been compiled by Labor Commits

the Contrary.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25-The cabin passen-
gers of the st. Paul were landed in this civ
from the tug George Starr, at the American
line pier, at the foot of Fulton street at
o'clock tonight. They looked cheerful lot.
Notwithstanding their experiences Those
who were interviewed by the newspaper re-
porters were divided in their opinions as to
whether the Campania and the ST. Paul had
been racing, as at first reported.
Almost the first passenger to step ashore
from the Starr was the Hon. w. Bourke
Cochran. He said that the Campania and
the st. Paul had not been racing. at least the
latter had not. "But we kept ahead all the
same" said Mr.. Cochran, "as a matter of
course Occasionally Friday the Campania
would take the lead but not for long. There
was no racing at the time of the accident for
we had stopped, or almost stopped before
the steamer grounded 1t may be that we
were going at speed of three or four miles,
put not more. The st. Paul is a grand steam
er, and hope she gets off all right
william Heap, of Muskegon, Mich.. thought
the vessels were racing all day Friday, and
that the race was good one.
Another passenger who believed that he
steamers were racing was A. C. Hodges, of
California, and Of the same opinion was

the following statement:
The sensational story published in some
of the evening papers alleging that the Cum
ard steamer Campania was in close proxim-
ity to the Jersey shore and was warned off
by lights of the life-saving crew is absolutely
incorrect and untrue. Capt. Walker saw no
signals whatever. and was never nearer the
shore than where he anchored, upwards of
two miles from the beach,"

crosses Victoria Arm, but when the
other was about half way over, the mid
die span of the bridge, about $50 feet
IN length, gave way and the car
plunged into the water, some 100 feet
below. The car was completely sub

with the exception of some of those
who were standing on the platform
and who. escaping injury from falling
timbers, managed to save themselves
by using the floating ruins of the
bridge and thus got ashore. Numbers

All Moscow had come to catch a
glimpse of the emperor and empress
and their brilliant suite as they de-

the Orthodox creed, which he did in a
voice audible to all. This was followed
by the reading of the Litany with
prayers for Gods blessing upon the
