London. Oct. 15-Details OF the steamship dis
aster off Falmouth have been slowly dribbling
into London during the day. The Mohegan was
n new vessel which made a protracted passage
during the last run from New-York. and was
overhauled and repaired. Her boilers and ma
chinery were tested last week. and the vessel
started on Thursday from London with h'ty-
three passengers. The earliest report was that
the engines had broken down and the ship had
been blown ashore by a stiff gale, but now 1t
seems probable that she was out Of her course
and ran on the rocks. Captain Griffiths had the
reputation Of being experienced and careful
officer, and the company's officials cannot ex-
plain how he happened to be out Of his course on
clear night The nurpber drowned is not yet
definitely known, but it is not expected that 1t
exceeds one hundred and sixteen, the latest

noon no anxiety expressed as TO the steamer
Umbria. The agents of the line said that they saw
no reason why she should not arrive either tonight
or tomorrow. They said that the report to her
position when sighted off the Irish showed
that she was IT. the regular course. and at that
time only few hours behind her schedule. She
left Liverpool on October with unusually large

circles especially since the official figures show
that there are in circulation 307 ~ 500 pesetas
OF Cuban bonds of various denominations and
1.19S,379,50O pesetas in guarantee bonds on

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE INDIANA FROM
SERIOUS DAMAGE.
HEAVY GRANITE BLOCKS SECTION OF PAVE
MENT AND a LOT OF CHAIN CABLE
CRUSH ROTTEN PILING. AND
COLLAPSE FOLLOWS.

There considerable excitement about
when. after a few preliminary cracks and
groans. a section Of the seawa at which the
Indiana was tied up collapsed and slid into the
channel. some of the big ston,s going under the
hattle-ship just missing striking her. The wall
consisted of a piling foundation and a coping
Of heavy granite blocks. Back OF this was Bel
gan block pavement about forty feet wide The
waterfront Of tho wall for a distance Of forty
Feet cayed in, the hole reaching back about
twenty feet. The big batte-ship. which was
tied up at the wall, apparently uniniured
but there was lively hustllng finding new places
for lines. as the break had weakened the posts
TO which the cables Of the ship had been strung
The wall which fell in had been condemned
and contract had been let for rebuilding it,
but the work had been stopped the pile
drivers and dredgers would have taken the
room needed for the berthing OF the Indiana
and other ships.
One Of the causes which led TO the collapse
was the weight of large amount of heavy
chain which had been placed on the pavement
portion of the wall
The accident disturbed the operation Of the
scow ferry to the Cob Dock for time. the sec
tion destroyed being just north of the landing
on the mainland. The pneumatic pipe which the
construction department had recently placed
along the seawa for the transmission OF
power to small machines on the ships was
broken. but beyond that direct damage was
caused. The escape of the Indiana is regarded
as extremely fortunate as the southern limit OF
the break was on a line with the ships star
board anchor, and it extended down TO the for
ward gangpank The ship was pulled astern
far enough TO clear the break and all further
danger from a collapse Of the remainder of the
wall was averted
The work Of clearing away the wreck will be
begun at once, and as IL will be impossible ~
use the wall space for berthing, il is likely that
the contractors will be ordered 10 go ahead with
the new construction. The wall on the other
side of the scow landing is already under con-
| structon, and the present break Will simply ex-
pedite the work Of removing the existing struct-
| ure.
All Of the chain which went down with the
wall was rescued and removed to a place Of
! safety, and the break roped off to prevent
| Spectators from getting into trouble. Owing tc

BERING SEA QUESTION.
Yet Reached an Agreement
Concerning 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The Anglo
American commission had expected to re-
sumo the consideration of the reciprocity
discussion to-day, but, as the Bering sea
question had not been disposed of, the
consideration of that branch of work was
continued. While considerable progress has
been made. final agreement on the seal
ing question is not yet assured. Besides
the present valuation of the Canadian seal
ing fleet, il Is said that the REIMBURSEMENT
of the right of sealing is another factor
which the Canadians consider quite inn
portant as the value of the present fleet.
Questions relating TO the great lakes were
taken up by a special committee this after
noon These include controversies over
the number of warships which are to be
maintained or built on the lakes: fishing
rights: navigation and wrecking privileges.
and various questions arising out of the
treaty of 1877.
In view of report current in London
that the Bering sea question had been
finally settled, 1t was stated in an authors
tative quarter to-day that such settle
ment had not been reached. The status is
about the same as ii was a week ago, ex-
cept that large amount of expert testi-

sions which each will grant. Lord Her.
Schel. Sir Wflfrid Laurier and Senators

committee on questions relating to the
lakes, were in session two hours this after
noon. but the subjects were too numerous
and important to permit more than general
consideration at this first sitting of the
committee since the commission came here.

CARE OF W0MEN's HAIR.
Should Be Kept Clean and as Few
Hnirpins as Possible
Taed.

Ruth Ashmore. in December Ladies' Home Journal.
To keep the hair in good condition it is
absolutely necessary not only to brush it
with clean brushes and great regularity,
but certainly once in two weeks to give
it a thorough shampooing, so that every
particle of dust may be removed from
it. The soft. fluffy look of the hair, and
its beautiful gloss after being shampooed.
shows how grateful il is for the treatment
given it. Experience, though sometimes a
tiresome teacher. has taught me that the
best way to cleanse the scalp and the
.'soap-suddy" with tar soap; use a nail
brush. upon which the soap has been rub
he'd. to scrub the scalp thoroughly. and
after every part OF the scalp is washed
water. the first being the temperature Of
that used for washing the hair. and the
last ordinarily cool. the baths between
having been gradually graded. To get
essary to hold ones head over the basin
and have the water from small pitcher
poured over it. Each bath necessitates the
wringing out of the hair until it is quite
as clear as before it went over the head
When the hair is shampooed 1t is wise
to put on loose wrapper that cannot be
injured either by water or soap. l do not
advise the use of a fan in drying the hair.
as 1t has been found to give many women
severe colds, nor do recommend the loose
since it is apt to leave fiuffs OF white cotton
all through 1t; but for the first rubbing
use thinck. hard Turkish towel. and
after that rub the hair and the head with
for this purpose. You will be surprised
to see how quickly and comfortably the
hair dries. Do not put the hair up until
IT is perfectly dry or it will remain damp
for long time and have a close. mouldy
and altogether undesirable smell about 1t.
Use as few hairpins as YOU possibly can.

AFTER INSURANCE MONEY.
GfIIett's Creditors VIII Try to Recov-
er What He Paid for
PoIfcies

ABILENE, EAS., Nov. 29.-(Special) The
creditors of Grant G. Gillett do not intend
TO leave a stone unturned TO get every
thing out of the effects left behind that
Trey can. A search has been instituted
for the location of all his life insurance
and they know now where nearly every
policy has been written. This. it Is stated
on the authority OF an attorney, will be
attached and held by his creditors. While
here is a general impression that he car
ried vast sum with him. the chances
are that he did not. The wires have been
hot for week with messages as men pushed
him for money. He was determined to
keep his position as a cattle king and
when he came TO the end he did so by
force. Two weeks ago he expected to get
eome money here and wired to have it
sent in care OF a creditor in cash. This
was not done and his last visit TO this
city was one of pleading for money. He
got II in a check on account of n divi-
dend from a suspended bank and when
the check was cashed some debts were
deducted so that only about si.Geo was
left His brother Joseph. of whose hard
ware and implement store he bought
large supplies. giving only his notes now
worthless, has been badly hurt by his
dealings. as have all his relatives. They
had faith in Grants star and trusted him.
The depth TO which they are involved has
been previously shown by The journal.
His father-in-law to-day gave dozen
itors who have been pressing him. In 1897
he made $500 through Grants help the
most he ever had in his life. He paid for
his farm and was happy. Now the old
gentleman is probably ruined.

Judge John R. Thomas. in the United
States court here to-day held. that, in the
case of March Chisholm, Creek Indian,
charged with the killing of another Creek
Indian named Caesar Wolf that congress
had the right to pass any laws that it saw
fit in reference to the political rights of the
Indians. and that the part of the Curtis
act taking away the jurisdiction of the
Indian courts and comforting power on the
United States courts was constitutional
Before the passage of the Curtis act, when
one Indian killed another, he was tried

cision is of great Importance both to In
dians and whites. This is the first case of
the kind to be tried. After the court had
rendered it's opinion, Chisholm was placed
on trial for murder. Counsel for defense
claimed that, under the treaty of 1856 the
Indian courts had Jurisdiction and that
the defendant should be tried in the Indian
courts and not by the United States courts.

of Arkansas. who has been interesting him
self in securing the exemption of cotton
tickets from the requirements of the stamp
tax. has received letter from the COM
missioner of internal revenue announcing
his decision, making the exemption. In his

After a careful review Of this subject
