: oficial Investigation by the United
!: States Inspectors of Steam
Vessels,


The investigation of the loss of the
coast TWO weeks ago. was begun yesterd ay
before the United States: Local Inspectors
of.Steam Vessels. The first witness was
The master of the Inflated vessel, who IN
substance said that his sworn report OF the
disaster should be a part of his testimony.
He Jailed TO save his log as everything was
washed away, his room being entirely
Quilted by the sea. When making the trip
he noticed thatthe standard compass. was
correct, but the steering compass and the
bridge compass were a little. IN error.
After passing Cape Blanco toCape Mendo-
cino there were fresh head winds, squally
at times, with rains and head sea.
Between the. lapses he ran by log. lao
miles before changing his course. Lana
WAS seen several times near. the latter cape
from the tops OF tue mountains 10 the
water. Also saw land near Point Gorda
about $3.50 A. M Was twelve miles on Cape
Mendoclno when the course Was changed
at 1925 O'Clock. The Point Arena light
was then in view about five. miles distant
and the course was changed: more to the
south. After.this Captain Smith says that
he left the deck in charge OF Il. Zulllng
A bout :15 or 80 A. N. tue vessel struck.
The first warning of danger was by the
first officer ringing the bell. On going on
deck the captain saw land and breakers
close by on the port side. He ordered the,
wheel put over and was told that it was.
Immediately after the vessel struck. He
did, not know whether the engines were
stopped or not at the time. He thought
| they were not. There we're breakers on
the outside when he first went on deck.
I What followed the striking of the yes
sell on the rocks has been already de
scribed. Boats were lowed and swamped,
the. steamer broke in two and six men
were drowned. The remainder took to
the rigging. All of the boats were on the
forward part of the vessel. Captain
Smith advised the men to stay by the
steamer, as it was dangerous to launch
the boats a part of the men were anx-
ious to leave and they put out the boats.
After describing the loss of life.and the
hardships endured by the survivors while
in the rigging, the captain was asked the
question: '.How do you account for that
ship being so far out of her ,course?" to
which he answered: 81 can account for it
in no other way than by an unusual and
unprecedente current setting in shore
perhaps partly by careless steering in my
ABSENCE"
James Mcintyre, captain of the Costa
RIGA, testified that he left San Francisco
on the Goth of November for Departure
Bay, b. c.. He did not see the.Sai Be-
.nito. but testified that in the winter
months there is a northerly set of.the cur
rent at the point in question.
The case will go on again to-day.

CHICAGO'S NEW BIBLE,
1t Will Soon BE Submitted to the
Beard of fdur.fti ion.

Chicago dispatch says: The new Bible
prepared for the use OF public schools has
been completed. 1t will now be submit
ted to the board of education who Will
pass judgment upon i'll. The aim of the
comrilers was to prepare a work that
would be unobjectionable to any religious
denomination.
1t has now been twenty-five years since
the board of education stopped the reading
of the Bible in the public schools there.
4 few years ago a movement was begun
to reinstate the Bible in the public schools.
The book just completed is the outgrowth
of suggestion made 10y Prof. Swing that
a om>ilittee. consisting of members of the
Pro: esrant. Catholic, Jewish and other de-
nominations, compile book for the use
of the school children, made up OF selec-
tons from the Bible.
For the convenience of the children, the
book is graded in its arrangement. Those
selections appearing first on its pages are
adapted to the needs and intellectual
standards of the lower grades of the gram
mar school. the latter part Of the book be-
ing better suited for more mature minds.
Quotations are also given in the book to
show that men differing widely in religious
belief. ranging from Prof. Huxley TO the
popes, have Endorsed just such scheme
as this that has just been carried out.

POL. PLANC0N,
The Great French Singer,
. is in Perfect Voice.
Believes in Keeping So, and
Tells How He Does It.

Among the few great artists who
came from France to this country
and beamed for a season in operate
circles last year, none attained
reader and more hearty welcome and
appreciation at the hands of the
American public than Pol. Plancon.
His genius made itself felt imne-
diately, and his voice in grand opera
captivated. while it thrilled and in
spired the hearts of all.
With the inevitable strain accom-
panying a seasons work in his pro-
fession, Pol. Plancon felt the need of
some nerve and brain tonic, and used
the Genuine JOHANN HOFF'S
MALT EXTRACT.
This is what he saws in regard to
it: Il frequently use the Genuine

America and find it most excellent in
