TRAGEDY OF THE SEA.
Abandoned Hull Is Sighted-LOOlzs
Like as Though There Had Been
a Collision.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-The
British ship Ancoais, from Puget sound,
is reported to have arrived at Cape
Town. The captain of the vessel sends
word that on April 81, in latitude So
south, longitude 81 west, the aban-
doned hull of the British ship Gowan-
bank was sighted. The derelict looked
like it had been in collision; the masts
were gone and the head-gear was car
ried away. The Gowanbank was re
ported abandoned before, but nothing
was given as to the probable cause of
her being deserted.
The information given above would
seem to shed some light on mail ad-
vices, reporting that the British ship
ST Enoch, at Port Stanley, Falkland
islands, was in company with the
American ship, Santa Clara, New York
for San Francisco, on February is, on
the Atlantic side. On April %, five
days before the Ancoais passed the
Gowanback derelict, the St, Enoch also
sighted the abandoned hull 1t is
feared that the Santa Clara collided
with the Gowanba1lk.

NOT YET sETTLED.

ST. LOUIS, July 2O-The representatives
of the National Press association held a
lively meeting at the st. James this after
noon at which the situation and the ad-
visibility of endorsing the Chicago ticket
were discussed There were about $50
members present and at times when the
cause of Populism was eulogized, the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Speeches
were made by dozen of those present
The prevailing sentiment was in favor of
preserving the Populist organization at all
hazards, and while some spoke for
fusion, the majority seemed to side with
the middle of the road faction. Paul
yandervoort, of Kansas, the president of
the association, favored middle of the
road policy, but Ignatius DoI,le,ly, of
Minnesota, and S. F. Norton, OF Chicago,
expressed a willingness after the nominal
ton of a ticket and the adoption of a
platform to unite by fushion on electors.
The meeting appointed committee to
draw up formal resolutions for submission
tomorrow.
