BIG SEA RUNNING.
There was a big sea running, and the
wind was blowing great guns. Fearing
that she would strike on the reef, and
knc-.ing that if she did there would be
no hope for her, her officers decided to
take to the boats Four boats were
lowered, and they started out TO seek
for a place of safety. An attempt was
made TO ianG on one OF the small is
lands but il was unsuccessful, the
wind making it impossible. They then
started for another island, and the
captains boat made Alpha Passage, in
which q big surf was breaking. The
captain signalled to the other boats to
follow, but they failed TO do so, and
it is supposed that being unable to
see the captains boat, after the signals
were given. they concluded she had
been swamped After that time moth
ing was seen Ok the three boats.
Captain Hall landed his boat safely
on the beach after going through the
Alpha Passage and spent the night
there. Next morning his party made
their way to Uclulet village, where they

STEAMER DRIFTED.
In the meantime the steamer had
drifted further into the sound, having
,niraculously missed striking many is
lands and reefs that lay in her pas
sage. She finally went ashore at An
derson camp, Lyall Point, on the north
west shore of Barclay sound. As soon
as she had been located Captain Hall
again took charge, but he found that
the Indians had been there and looted
the vessel After waiting for some time
for. the other three boats, Captain Hall
decided to send the purser to Alberni
to telegraph to Victoria for assistance.
The purser started from Uclulet in a
heat manned by two Indians, but did
not get far before his canoe capsized.
nv threats the purser induced the IN

where he secured crew of white men

he fornd the wires down, so he came
on to Victoria. There is little doubt
that the three boats containing the 20
members of the crew and TWO passen-
GERS have met with disaster.
Two boxes of biscuits and a pillow,
believed to have been in the boats,
were picked up the next morning on the
beach. One of the boxes was at the
entrance to Uclulet arm and the other
further north.

SEWARD's PROPHECIES
ARE RECALLED TO FORTIFY HIS
ARGUMENTS.
Mr.. Foster, While Member of the
Harrison Cabinet, Negotiated the
First Treaty Annexing Hawaii to
the United states-Advantages of
the Union.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Ex- Secretary
of State John w. Foster, who, while a
member of the Harrison cabinet, nego-
tiated the first treaty annexing Hawaii
to the United States, and who has since
visited the islands and taken much in
terest in their acquisition, when asked
today as to the status of the annex
alton question, said:
The opponents in congress of
Hawaiian annexation will not have dis
posed of the question by voting against
and defeating this measure. They must
decide what shall be the policy and con-
duct of the United States toward the is
lands for the future. Having refused
the application of the island govern
ment for incorporation into our Union,
such an act necessarily carries with it
the right of the former to determine
it's own political destiny, uninf1uenced
by considerations affecting the United
States

THE imposition of the arbitrary single

actuated by the desire to equalize as far
as possible. the system of taxation COM
monty in vogue, as outlined. The tax of 81
per lot per annum was adopted as a Tea-

of lots, a restriction in the city charter
prohibiting graded tax on lots in proper
ton to their actual value, and was aimed
at that class of owners who make spe-
cialty of buying and holding unimproved
lots until the labor and enterprise of 9TH
ers make them more valuable. In order to
carry out this policy to the furthest extent
