FAIRS MILLIONS.
Mrs. Craven Files for Record Deeds
CONVEYING Property to Her.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jnue 19.-The
conquest for possession of the millions
bequeathed his numerous heirs by the
late Senator James G. Fair took on an
entirely new complexion this afternoon,
when Mrs. Margaret Craven of San
Francisco filed for record deeds ex-
ecuted by the late millionaire convey
ing to her property in this city valued
at over 81, 100000. The deeds are dated
September s, 1894, and were acknowl-
edged before a Notary Public on Sep
tember %, 1894
The documents, which purport to be
in the handwriting of the late Senator,
Were written with a lead pencil, the
acknowledgment being written in ink.
Love and affection are the only con-
siderations named in the deeds.
1t has long been claimed by the
friends of Mrs. Craven that she pos
sessed the documents in question, and
was holding them in hope of being able
to secure a satisfactory settlement
without carrying the matter into court.
Her action in filing the deeds will pre-
cipitate matters and further complicate
an already badly entangled will con-

LOSS OF THE DRUMMOND CASTLE.
STORY TOLD BY TWO SURVIVORS
OF THE WRECK.
The Ship Sank Like Huge Body of
Lead After Striking on
the Rocks.

RREST. June ia representative
of the United Press obtained an inter-
view yesterday with the two members
Of the sunken Drld1mond Castle crew
who were picked up. One of the men is
a seaman named Godbolt, belonging IN
Yarmouth, and the other, Wood, ma
tive of London. was the quartermaster
of the Drummond Castle. The men
agree in the statement that the night
Of June 10th, when the steamer was
lost. was a fine night, though there
was a slight fog. Captain Price was on
the bridge at the time the ship struck
and Lieutenant Brown was forward.
The adult passengers were all on deck
and only the children were sleeping.
Suddenly there was heard beneath
the vessel a prolonged scraping, and
this was followed by a CHASTITY silence.
The ship filled rapidly and sank like
a huge body of lead.
The survivors said they could not re-
member exactly what did happen when
the ship went down. Godbolt succeeded
in grasping a door panel and a plank,
and Wood also caught a loose plank as
it was washed past him. For long
ing cries for help, to which response
was Impossible, filled the air. The
cries gradually ceased and there was
a srewsome silence.
Each man believed himself to be the
sole survivor of the ill-fated ship, and
felt in constant fear of being washed
off the panel or plank under him. Ulti-
mately Wood saw Godbolt and swan
i'm od
cether thereafter, and were tossed by
the waves for ten hours, frequently be-
ing torn by the force of the waves from
the rough plank and panel raft, which
they would fortunately succeed in re-
gaining. At 8 o'clock in the morning
of June 18th some fishermen in boats
espied them and rescued them, landing
them at LIE Conquet.
Besides the passenger, Marquandt
who was picked up at Ushant, it is not
probable that a single one Of the pas
sengers was saved.
The passengers on board the Drum
mond Castle were mostly women and
children, including the family of a tea
planter. eighteen in number, who were
returning home from South Africa.
The keeper of the Ushant Light
saw the vessel he was surprised that
a large steamer should enter the sin
laous and rocky F'romyeur passage,
which separates the Ushant and Me-
lene group of islands. 1t is the general
belief that the ship entered the passage
by mistake 1t is believed that the true
cause of the disaster will never be
known
AS soon as the steamer struck the
passengers rushed to the upper deck,
and here were enacted some terrible
scenes. Strong men forgot their man
hood and struggled for possession of
the few life buoys that were fastened
about the deck.
According to the statements Of the
survivors, the women were the most
self possessed persons on board. With
the steamer settling rapidly under
them and death staring them in the
face, the mothers did not forget their
children, but rushed below to awaken
them and to make futile efforts to save
them.

nothing to do with the summer posi-

in the movement of direction towards

Ii is impossible to forecast the move
ment Of d summer market, and the

business not originating with commis-
sion houses They feel in favor Of the
market because Of the anticipated
movement in the summer positions and
are not advising the anticipation OF
decline in prices 50 long as this opera

We have repeatedly called attention
10 this position Of the trade, which
is the dominant feature in the market.
Liverpool was a buyer Of the new crop
