A STEAMER Is MISSING
It Is Feared Pacific Mail Liner
Rio de Janeiro Is Lost.
1856 PERSONS WERE ON BOARD
Carried n Cargo of Merchandise aud
Bullion Worth Nearly
Million Dollars.

San Francisco, March S.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship Companys big liner,
the City of Rio de Janeiro. which left
this port for the Orient heavily laden
on the 9th OF last month. should have
arrived at Yokohama on the 23d of Feb
ruary. yet not a word has been heard
from her.
At the east the agents of the COM
pany declare that they have received
Information of no sort regarding the
steamers welfare or whereabouts since
she glided out OF the bay on the after
noon of February 6. The New York
office of the company has been wired
necessarily by the local agents, but
the reply comes regularly and monot-
onously that as yet nothing has reached
them by cable concerning the vessel.
The Rio left here with 1876 people on
board all told. OF these, four were
cabin passengers, and there were in the
steerage 10 Europeans, 10 japanese and
% Chinese. The crew consisted of 30
white people and 10 Chinese. The names
of the Chinese and Japanese are not
registered
The list of the Rio de Janelro's crew
is as follows: w. j. Russell, captain J.
d.
thews, chief engineer; O. *. Freeman
purser; A. X. Tichenor, freight clerk; s
NJ. Terrill, surgeon; S. T.. Johnson, sec
ond officer; L. G. Newmard, third )li-
GER; j. Anderson, carpenter; william
Bray, malndeck Waterman; w. j. Pal

Reade, John Cavanaugh, oilers: A. Bur-
rell, steward; S. Kidd, steerage steward ;
8. HanlSin, storekeeper; Mrs. j. G.. Dor
man, stewardess; Gorge Lancashire,
butcher; Robert r, Kelly. saloon watch
man: j. c. Spencer steerage Waterman;
N. G. Vow and 70 Chinese.
The one theory upon which the COM
pany's agents base the greatest hopes
is that the Rio. by force of bad weather
or other circumstances, was compelled
to pass Yokohama without making her
usual stop there.
This would not be considered alto
gether an unusual occurrence. 1t has
happened several times during the past
~ years to other steamers In the service
of the company. Should this be the case
there will be a still longer period Of
anxiety before anything can be possibly
heard from her in that event, until she
reaches Hong Kong. Many shipping
men feel hopeful that she will shortly
be reported from the Chinese port
The Rio de Janeiro is one of the hand
soonest and largest vessels engaged in
the trans-Pacific service of the Pacific
Mail. She Is four master, amply pro-
vided with sails, so that in case of dam
age to her engines while at sea there
would be nothing to prevent her wealth
ering her way to some nearby port with
the use of her canvas alone When the
Rio left this port she carried a cargo
of general merchandise and bullion val
ued at nearly million dollars

BOOTHS FIRST GUN
Echo Filled the Hearts of 5000
Loyal Soldiers.
FOR A NEW SALVATION ARMY
The Appearance of darlington and
Mrs. Booth Was the Signal for
Grand Outburst.

New York, March S.--The inaugural
step made by Ballington Booth in a RI
val organization on lines similar to the
one from whose command he was re-
leased met success tonight. Cooper
Union was the scene where the first gun
was fired, the echo of which thrilled
the hearts of 5000 loyal soldiers. Every
seat in the big auditorium was occupied.
The aisles were crowded and the streets
outside were thronged
Shortly after o'clock Captain Schnei-
der of the Bowery corps sprang on a
chair on the platform and waved an
American flag with painting of George
Washington. Thes audience cheered
Justify. Major Peter Glen appeared on
the platform waving an American nag
and placed life-size crayon painting
Of George Washington on an easel in
front of the speakers table. This was
the signal for renewed outburst of APP
plause.
1t was only when Ballington Booth
and his wife arrived that the audience
lost control of itself. Their presence on
the platform was the signal for an out
burst of enthusiasm such as never be-
fore has been witnessed in Cooper I'M
ion. There was some music and singing
and the customary religious invoca-
tons, after which Ballington Booth rose
and said:
Mrs. Booth and myself have not
come here tonight to allude to the re-
cent sad trouble. After mature DELHI
GRAFTON we have decided to inaugurate
a new movement. Recognizing as we
do the largest field in the world, and
still further recognizing that there was
room in America for one, two, yea. 100
Salvation Armies, we have resolved, to
the best of our ability to win over the
middle class of the artisans Of this coun-
try. We wish no strife with the Saliva
ton Army.
Il want to assure Mrs. Booth and
those officers-who have stood by me
that / see In the distance a movement
which tonight has received it's impetus
in this great gathering. / do not want
anything that exists in the air. but a
genuine conservation of our soldiers 10
the faith of Christ. There Is at least 4G
per cent of the wage earning populace
OF the community who are not Identified
With any church or place of religious
worship. 1t Is there we want to reach
and extend to them the love that in
spired the Nazarene on the streets of
Jerusalem nearly 1900 years ago.
Mrs. Booth and myself have within
the last few days been reading the his
tory of that great American soldier.
George Washington, whose portrait
stands on this platform. We thought
of him and his goodness of heart and
love of Christ as he turned away for n
moment from the frightful scenes of
Valley Forge and repaired to the woods,
where he knelt in prayer to the God of
his country. Whatever be the mission
we undertake it will bear the right
stamp and will be directed in the right
direction"
