WRECK OF THE MOHECAN
Loss Of Life Now Placed at
Over One Hundred.
AN EVEN FIFTY WERE SAVED
Many Undoubtedly Killed That Would
Have Escaped II ca, Ashore on an
Ordinary Coast.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Atlantic Trans
port company has issued the following
statement regarding the fate of the pas
sengers and crew Of the steamer Mohe-
gan which was wrecked last Friday
evening off the Lizard, between the
Manacles and the Lowland:
"Of the passengers II have been saved,
10 bodies have been recovered and 80
are missing. OF the crew and cattle
men 80 have been saved, IA bodies have
been recovered and 81 are missing"
Since this statement was issued nine
other bodies have been picked up in
Guiding two men identified as those Of
passengers.
The reports of various correspondents
differ widely as to the losses and res
cued, although none have been able to
secure accurate information of the
numbers of those saved or bodies re-
covered.
The cause of the disaster remains the
profoundest mystery.
Many persons were undoubtedly killed
by being dashed on the rough rocks who
would have escaped if they had been
cast ashore on an ordinary coast. Some
bodies are horribly mangled. A good
deal Of jewelry and money have been
found

PRESIDENT IN ATTENDANCE
Chicago's Peace Celebration
Formally Begun.
UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE
Immense Meeting ut the Auditorium 1
Which Many Denominations
Take Part,

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-The national peace
jubilee of Chicago was inaugurated last
night with a union thanksgiving service
at the Auditorium. President Mckinley
attended and listened to addresses by
Dr. Hirsch, a Jewish rabbi; Rev.
Thomas Hornell, Roman Catholic
priest; Rev. John H. Barrows, a Presby-
terrain clergyman, and Booker T. WASH
ington, the noted colored orator. The
applause for the president was terrific
and at one time he was compelled to
rise in his box and respond to the frantic
cheering of the audience. The services,
however, were of a religious character
and at times the solemnity of the vast
assemblage was much more eloquent
than the widest applause could be.
Fully $4,000 people were within the
great Auditorium and probably as many
many more were on the outside unable
to obtain admission.
