THE ILL-FATED CORONA.
TWENTY-FIVE OF HER PASSEN-
GERS ARRIVE AT SEATTLE.
Claimed That the Pilot Was Two
Miles Out Of His Course, but He
Says He Was Not.

SEATTLE. Jan. 30-Twenty-five of
the passengers on the Inflated Corona,
which was wrecked on Lewis Island last
Sunday morning, arrived here tonight
on the steamer Al Ki, which rescued
them from the lonely island. E. W. Pol
lock, who was a passenger on the Co.
roma, in describing the wreck said;
The accident occurred at 9:10 a. m.
Sunday. The morning gong had SCUM
ded to awaken the passengers for
ready arisen. Captain Pierce and Pilot
H. F. Cauffman were on the bridge. 1t
was Cauffman's first trip as pilot There
was light enough to see the shores on all
sides. Suddenly, while the ship was
going at full speed. without warning,
terrible shock occurred, followed by a
grinding succession of lesser shocks In
stantly it was realized that the ship had
struck rock and scene of great con-
fusion followed. The wheel was reversed
but the ship remained on the rock. The
sea was calm. Captain Pierce ordered
the boats lowered. The women were
taken ashore first. BY 10 o'clock the
passengers We're all landed The stock
and some baggage and provisions were
then taken ashore. The passengers re
mained on the island until Thursday,
patiently waiting for a passing steamer
to take them away from the place of
personal discomfort. On Thursday the
steamer AL Ki arrived and 200 of the
caStawayS boarded her, about 100 re-
naming on the island in hope of catch
ing a northbound vessel. About 10
o'clock Thursday night the AL Ki met
the steamer Oregon bound from Port
land to Dyea and Skaguay, the two
steamers We're lashed together and ail
but twenty five of the Corona's people
were transferred and started north
again.
1t is not believed that the injury to
the Corona is serious.
Pilot H. F. Cauffman mot Coffman)
who was on duty at the time of the
wreck tells the following story:
The directions 'on the chart say to
steer direct from Gibson's Island 10 the
west side of Kennedy's Island In this
water there are no soundings marked
on the chart less than seven fathoms
deep. and seven fathoms is only found
at the extreme end of Lewis Island,
close to the shore. The soundings TAX
en- all around the ship after the acci
dent ranged from five to ten fathoms,
with the exception of where the ship
struck, which was only pa fathoms.
1T is six and a half miles from Glib
sons Island TO the northwest slide. 1
kept the ship due northwest for sew
enteen minutes after passing Gibson's
Island and then altered it to northwest
by north. Seven minutes later she
struck
Mr. Cauffman declared that he fol-
lowed directions laid down and that he
is not to blame.
Against Pilot Cauffman's declara-
tions that he was on the correct course
is the steamer Pilot Thompson's state
ment, who was on the boat and who
went off duty at o'clock the morning
of the accident He says that the reef
upon which Cauffman ran the ship is

RESULT OF A FEUD.
Fred Clemens Killed Paul DucIeo
in Self Defense

PORTLAND (Or), Jan. 80 - Paul
Dueleo, a farmer living near McMinn-
vile, was shot and killed at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning by Fred Clemens. a
young man 20 years old. The killing was
the result of an old feud which has in
volved the two families for a long
time
The Coroner's inquest disclosed facts
which are corroborated by the resi-
dents of the neighborhod as to the
cause of the shooting Young Clemens
was summoned and told the story sub
stantially as follows:
Il started to go hunting through the
field to the line between our place and
that OF Mackay, and from there I went
down the hill to l.. Bakers place.
where 1 saw Ducleo approaching from
the direction that l had come from.
When he was within fifty yards of me
he began TO abuse me. swearing at me
and threatening to kill me. AS he
drew near he pulled off his mittens
and began to draw his gun. / tried 10
evade him and said that / did not want
to have any trouble with him. Ducleo
kept coming, and then began to raise
his gun. When he had raised it TO the
level of my head I fred"
The story. seems to show that Ducleo
did not ino.nd to shoot Clemens, but
was trying TO intimidate him.
The trouble between the Ducleos and
the Clemens family nearly reached a
climax last fall. when Clemens and
his father and the two Ducleo boys

ness has been more intense. and the

action.
The Coroner's jury fully exonerated
Clemens. The latter was perfectly cool
and told straightforward story of the
shooting. He is a flne-looking young
man and has a large circle of friends
IN McMinnville
Dueleo was living with his brother
on their farm adjoining the farm OF
the Clemens family. When his brother
heard of the shooting he raved like a
madman, and it is feared that the
trouble is not yet at an end. Both the

A BIG CONSOLIDATION.
It Will Combine All the Wander
bilt Lines.

->~>OSs
NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-The "Trib-
une' will Tomorrow say:
The consolidation of the Lake Shore
Railroad With the New York Central
under the reme of the latter is simply
the initial step in a railroad plan that
in scope and extent eclipses anything
hitherto undertaken in the history of
railroading. The truth is, however,
that the present scheme, the first step
in which has been taken by the practi-
cally admitted amaIgamation of the
Lake Shore and the New York Central,
is to consolidate into one company the
whole Vanderbilt system and such lines
as it may be able to control and lease.
and plane the whole enormous organ
ization under one management.
The next step in this gigantic plan
of cons olida ton will be the merging of
the Cleveland, Chicago and ST. Louis.
generally known as the Big Four. with
the Chesapeake and Ohio, under the
name of the former. Melville E Ingalls,
is now President of both roads. rne
Big Four is a Vanderbilt property.
Probably the same plan of consoiida-
ton will be followed out in this road
as the Lake Shore.
The neyt step will be to bring the
roads INTO the new combination of the
Lake Shore and the New York Central.
The next road to fall into line will be
the Chicago and Northwestern This
like the Lake Shore and the Big Four,
is an out-and-out Vanderbilt property.
In the meantime there is talk of a
consolidation of the West Shore and
Nickel Plate and the Michigan Central.
This is still embryonic. Cornelius Van
derblt IS Chairman of the board of
the Michigan Central, and nothing can
be done until he is heard from. But
such consolidation will be effected in
time.

Steamer EIWood Lying at Vancouver

Loaded With Government Equipment and
Forage.
Her Freight Will be Transferred
to the George w. Elder When
She Arrives-General Merriam
Will Land the Expedition at
Dyea and Push On Over Chill
coot Pass as Fast as Possible.

PORTLAND, Jan. 30.-The steamer
Elwood. loaded with Government equip
ments and forage for the Alaska raiiet
expedition, is lying at the wharf st
Vancouver barracks ready to transfer
her freight to the steamer George NJ.
Elder Waon she arrives from ALASKA
tomorrow. The Elder is scheduled to
sail again on February 1st. She will
carry the escort of sixty enlisted men
and i50 tens of supplies. and The
steamer Signal, which sails from Sc
attic February 1th. will carry 40 pack
animals, II men and a portion of the
relief supplies.
General Merriam, commanding the
Department Of the Columbia, has 1e-
cided upon landing the entire expedi-
ton It Dyea and pushing forward over
the Chlcoot Pass as fast as possible.
He has notified the Chicago Snow and
Ice Transportation Company, which has
the contract to transport supplies from
Dyea 20 the interior, that its train
must be ready to receive freight by
February 18th at Dyea
General Merriam is working out a
plan to ascertain the number of people
and the amount of supplies that will
enter Alaska this summer. Speaking
of this matter to-day, he said:
From the present indications a
greater reliet expedition will be needed
next winter than this Hundreds are
already embarking for the gold fields
without more than sufficient suppies
to last during the summers prospect
ing. 1t appears that thousands more
are on the way in a similar condition.
While many may come out at the end
of the season, others Will stay with
the hope Of purchasing supplies The
result may be disastrous. Therefore it
is my opinion that the Alaskan detach-
ment Of the army could not be better
employed than to watch the trails and
tally The men and provisions passing
to the interior.
The Government would then nave
definite information as TO whether there
would be want or suffering in the Alas
kan territory next winter
Because of conditions which may
arise to alter the present arrangements.
General Merriam will go in person at
least rs far as Chilcoot Pass to direct
operations.

British Troops Become Entangled
in a Gorge Near Shinkamar.

CALCUTTA. Jan 30-General West
macott telegraphs from Camp Mann
mani that the Fourth Brigade became
entangled in a gorge near Shinkamar
yesterday and suffered serious losses.
1t appears that combined move
ment was planned to cVt off the re-
treat of a number of Afridis who had
been driving their cattle to Craze on the
Kajurai Plain, west Of Bara Fort. Two
columns marched from Bara westward
over the plain toward the hills; while
a fourth, consisting of the Yorkshire
Regiment and regiment of Sikhs, ad-
vanced from Mammami with view of
getting to the rear Of the Afridis and
preventing their escape toward Bara-
Wiley.
The first three columns performed
their allotted movements without loss,
meeting with very few of the enemy.
The fourth under Colonel 7. j. Seppings,
left Mammami early Saturday morning.
The leading troops reached Shinkamar-
Kotila at half past ten, finding no oppo-
sition. Colonel Houghton, with the
Sikhs proceeded about a mile to search
the caves On the arrival of the main
body at the Kotal it was discovered that
company of Sikhs had somehow been
withdrawn from the high ridge on the
west, the key to the position, which the
enemy forthwith occupied. To re-take
this involved heavy losses. Lieutenant
Dowdall was killed while charging at
the north of the pass. About midday
troops began to return to the camp, the
