ter ON Lake Superior.
Point Arena, Cal, Nov. 23-The
steamer San Benito. bound from Ia
coma to San FRANCISCO. went ashore
seven miles north Of Point Arena yes
terday morning. The steamer struck
on a sand bar and broke IN two. The
San Benito carried forty-four men. The
wind blew terrifically Saturday night
and a heavy sea was running. The ves-
sci struck about o'clock in the morn
ing and an hour later broke just aft
the smekestack. Boats were lowered,
but one capsized Immediately with five
men in it, four of whom were
drowned. Another boat with four OF
the crew capsized nine times, losing
two men. Three men by heroic menas
reached shore. Daylight found the rest
of the crew clinging to the rigging.
Such a heavy sea is running that it is
impossible to render assistance.
The drowned are: John Sherman,
messenger boy; w. z. Condor. second
assistant engineer; o. w. Scott. first
assistant engineer; Michael Pender-
CAST, coal passer; two others not
known.
Another Sailor Goes to the Bottom.
The steamer Point Arena reached the
scene at IL O'Clock in the morning and
sent out a boat, and by great bravery
and skilled seamanship rescued seven
men. In making a second trip the boat
was almost swamped. and was COM
PEELED to abandon all efforts on account
Of the great breakers washing over the
wreck. A sailor was washed over
board and reached shore almost dead.
He was revived by a doctor on the
beach. At 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
sailor jumped overheard and at
tempted to swim ashore with q line.
The shoulder straps of his life pre-
server broke and the man went down.
Lighthouse Keeper Brown. an Indian
named Lazarus, William Comprey and
Al Cunningham manned a boat and
made two heroic efforts to connect the
wreck with the shore with a line, but
were unsuccessful.
Line-Shooting Gun at the Scene.
The steamers Point Arena and AL
cazar are off the wreck. but can render
ma assistance until the sea calms. A
passing steamer has landed a gun at
Point Arena and a line will be shot
to the wreck. Both parts of the ship
are fast in the sand fifty feet apart.
The sailors claim that the accident
was on account of the fog-horn not
blowing. but the night was clear and
the light could be seen many miles.

Old Carter's Scheme.

Carter takes on his periodical
mean streak and comes out with
a mess of stuff about the publica-
ton of the tax list. To start
with he says that Ayers demand
ed and finally coerced Treasurer
Riessbeck into giving the PRESS
the copy for this tax list some
weeks ago. Ayers is not in the
habit of demanding things, and
Mr.. Riessbeck will tell anybody
that such was not the case; and
to say that MI. Riessbeck was CO.
creed is insulting the intelligence
of that gentleman. Mr.. Riess-
beck did hesitate in turn ing
over the tax list copy to the
Press when he discovered that
the board had omitted to pass a
resolution designating what pa
per it should be: published in. A
part of the copy was needed at
least several weeks before time
of publication, and Mr.. Reiss-
beck was perfectly willing to
start the Press along in the work
on condition that a majority oil

in said paper.

The PRESS, first, last, and all
the time, has supported the boun-
Diary bill as its files will show.
The editor has in every way
pushed the matter and has made
some enemies by so doing. The
Recorder has been everywhere
on the question; silent, when the
heat of the battle was on; openly
opposed to Senator cGillivray,
who was pushing the bill. Now
there is very little in the way of
jumping fences that troubles
Carter; but just now he has a
fve-barred gate before him that
is a little too much. After all he
has said against Met illivray and
his measures, how to flop over
and make people torget-that is
what is pulling Carter now. To
let himself down easily and d.
vert attention from his change of
base he tells his readers that
layers is working against the
boundary bill,"-a lie as he
knows-and that the republican
nominees are opposed to the bill
another fabrication as some of
these same nominees are likely
soon to tell him. In the mean
time to pave the way to-he
hopes-better things, he has be-
come an ardent advocate-we
hope a sincere one-of a good
measure-the boundary bill.
