CHICAGO Especial. IA meeting of
the western passenger association was
held for the purpose of considering re-
quests for extension Of time on tick
cts to the G. A. r. encampment at st.
Paul and rates below those already
granted for the meeting of the knights

Commander Walker said after he had

the desired extention on tickets:
well that simply let's st. Paul out
Of it. That is all there is to that. The
entire matter will now be reopened
and another city be selected for the

When informed that the roads in

more favorable than those already
made by the western lines, Command

The slide started from the head of
Gold creek and tore a path 200 yards
wide for five miles. 1t struck the pro-
truding point Of a mountain carrying

The roar was indescribable. It struck
the mining camp buildings, and the

THE STEAMER SANK.
A Vessel Supposed to Be Bound
For Cuba Went Down.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass.,-[Special.]-
Twenty-i five men from Che steamer j.
w. Hawkins, supposed to be bound for
Cuba with men and arms for the in
surgents were landed here by the in
coming schooner. The Hawkins was
wrecked OF Long Island.
1t appears that Hawkins sailed from
New York Sunday. His men were
picked up in open boats off Long Is
land the next morning. They are all
reticent and would give little informa-
ton as to the circumstances attending
the wreck. The Hawkins a srecently
purchased at Baltimore for an alleged
Cuban cruise. 1t had On board seven
ty-five to one hundred men,. The res
cued men say that off the eastern end
of Long Island the Hawkins sprang a
serious leak and the water gained so
rapidly that all hands were obliged to
take to the boats. It is thought that
sill ere rescued.
It was learned. however, that ten of
their number had been lost. The men
were sent to New York by the earliest
train.
Particulars of the wreck were cleaned
from the men by the officers of the
rescuing vessel. AS nearly as could
be ascertained, the story is that the
steamer sailed from New York Sunday,
~ostensibly bound for Bermuda on q
winter excursion. She carried. how
ever, about eighty men, mostly Spani-
ards, q cannon and several hundred
pounds of ammunition. 1t was init
mated that several wealthy Cubans
were in the party.
Cuban leaders in this city say &C.
cording to official advices received by
them six men on the Hawkins were
lost. Word is also received that Gen.
Garcia and his son are safe and sound
in New York city. 1t is estimated
here the loss, Of the Ha.-
kins will cause the Cuban party q loss
of $4,000.

ASSURANCE OF PEACE
How Chamberlain's Venezuelan

Stroke,

LONDONISpecial. 1.-THE Cronicle IN
an editorial on Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's statement of the Vene-
zuelan question, made in q speech at
Birmingham Saturday night, says:
I'VE must regard this statement as
expressing the deliberate conclusions
of the government, and it seems to
render arbitration in some form or
other unavoidable"
An article in another part Of the
Chronicle declares that all the recent
evidence of a reapprochment between
England and America leave the essen
tial heart of the matter untouched.
1.-The effects of the increase of mu-
tual kindness are being allowed to
evaporate," says the Chronicle, "and
while from every point of the European
horizon { reat anxiety and possible peril
confront us, the golden moment for
permanent peace with America is slip

successful a member would forget

arbitration treaty with America the

Of the two peoples rescuing Armenia,
instead of being an ideal, might be.
come within q short time a world
shaking fact"
An editorial in the Times on the
American attitude towards Armenia
says:
at is not expected that America
will SO far depart from the sagacious
principles of Washington's farewell
message (address) as to draw the
sword in behalf of the Armenians, but
the American people are the only PEG
pie, except ourselves, not perhaps
wholly incapable of making war on be-
halt of the oppressed without regard
to national interests"
The Times in another editorial saws:
1T seems likely that Russia has
done more to establish good relations
with Turkey on q understanding that
she shall be no party to other than
platonic remonstrances yer the Ar
menian grievances. The Unkiarskell.
ssh treaty was a failure aud the con-
clusion of q similar treaty now would
lead all Mussulmans to look with sus-
picion on a ruler who placed himself
in the hands of the Giaour."
The Daley News, liberal, says in an
editorial:
"Mr. Chamberlain's reference to
Venezula was thoroughly judicious
and will dispel the idea that he was
opposed to counsels of Cancellation
His proposal for Anglo American in.

WASHINGTON ISpecial.l-It is re.
ported that the new Morgan syndicate
has quietly offered to take the entire
hundred million bond issue, or any
portion Of 1t which may not be SUBJ
scribed for by banks and private in
dividusls. It is said further that the
syndicate's offer is far more advan-
tageous to the government than the
last transaction proved to be. The
premium paid on the e62,OO0.OOO loan
vas less than 5 per cent. Now Il Is
learned Mr.. Morgan's associates are
willing to give S1O9,OO0,OOO for the en-
tire issue, or u corresponding price
for any fraction. Private offers are
pouring into the treasury by every mail
but the officials decline to give details
as to the total amount OF bids thus
far received. 1t is said, however, that
there is scarcely q doubt that tue en-
tire issue will be sold at a satisfactory
premium.
Owing to the favorable conditions
now existing in the foreign exchange
market the treasury department is
hoping that quite large shipments Of
gold Will be made from abb Dad to be
used in making payments for the bond
to be issued under the call now pend
ing. and If this should prove to be the
case it is understood that it will be
the policy Of the department to ofss
every facility in its power to those
who propose to S the imported gold
in payment Of the several install
ments.
