A MARINE DISASTER.
The Schooner Lady Jane Grey Founders
and 35 Passengers Lose Their Lives.

The Schooner Lady Jane Grey Founders
and 35 Passengers Lose Their Lives.
Seattle, WASH, June 2.-The schoon.
er Lady Jane Grey foundered 90 miles
west of Cape Flattery on May 22. Only
27 out of 62 passengers were Hved.
The survivors were brought here by
the steamer Kingston. The Jane Grey
sailed from Seattle for Kotzebue Sound
May IS with 81 people on board.
Among the passengers was party OF
16 Italians who were outfitted by
Prince Luigi, of Italy.
The surviving passengers suffered a
great deal of privation and for 80 hours
their only food was a sack of prunes
and a sack of turnips from the ships
stores. Sufficient water was caught by
spreading a tarpaulin during rain
storm. The news of the disaster and
expected arrival of the rescued from
Victoria caused a great crowd to gath
er at the dock n this city. Carriages
were waiting and when the City of
Kingston landed the survivors they
were all carried to their rooms or to
the residences of friends. The few that
were seen could not give very de-
tailed account of the disaster which
came SO suddenly. They were unable
to account for the vessel springing a
leak and sinking.

SENATE INSTRUCTORS.
Free Silver Members Would Force
the Government Into an AwIS-
ward Position.

The war revenue measure still hangs
and United States senators continue to
spin out the thread of their verbosity
finer than the staple of their argument.
The bald, disjointed chat goes on about
free silver and greenbacks, as if those
issues were not as dead as mackerels.
And not only these, but every other con-
ceivable heresy in taxation is proposed
in order to hamper the government in
the way of raising money to carry on
the war. Instead of proceeding in the
most direct and simple manner to OBJ
tain the means which every sane person
knows must be had in order to prose-
cute the war with success, the silver OBJ
structionists in the senate offer every
rotten scheme that was proposed in the
popocrat platform of last year and
which was voted down by the people
by a majority that ought not so easily
TO be forgotten. They seem to think
that because there is some stress and
that the government can be forced nto
a difficult position that DOW IS the time
for them to take what advantage may
offer and compel the country to accept
lUtII ulSCIGulltu lutol les VI
They would fix upon the people an in
come tax. an inheritance tax and tax
on corporations. and, as Senator Spoon
er very cogently said, force the govern
ment into buying lawsuits instead of
providing it with means to carry on the
war.
Such is the patriotism of the Bryan
ties and silverites in the senate of the
United States!
AS a party trick they forced the coun-
try into a war and brag about it. And
now as a further party trick they un-
dertake to withhold the means from
the government in its effective prosecu-
ton of the war.

slight to America.
Chicago, June 2.-Charles n. Post,
vice president of the Lyon So Healy Co.,
who has just returned from a tour of
the Orient, met Admiral Dewey in
Hong Kong March 25. Mr.. Post tells
of a social passage at arms between
Dewey and Prince Henry, brother of
Emperor William, commanding the
German squadron at Hong Kong.
Prince Henry after his arrival at Hong
Kong gave banquet to the higher Off
GERS of the other fleets, among whom
was Rear Admiral Dewey. At the feast
the prince proposed toast to his own
country, then to Great Britain, then to
all the other great powers except
the United States. just before the
dinner was over, the royal host pro-
posed toast to this country. When
Rear Admiral Dewey saw that appar.
emily his country was to be sighted he
left the banquet.
The next day a representative OF
Prince Henry sent roundabout apol-
ogy to the American commander.
Dewey sent word back to the prince
that he would accept nothing but a
written or personal apology. Prince
Henry then called upon Dewey and
apologized, saying that in the confu-
sion of the dinner he, the prince. neg
lected to put the American toast on
the programme. While Mr. Post was
at Hong Kong, Prince Henry gave a
ball, but Admiral Dewey, although in
vited, did not attend it.

Madrid. June 2.-The attention OF
