WRECK OF THE CORONA.
One of the p. E.. =. SIS Best
Steamers Il Total Loss.

Further par ticulars have been re-
ceivrd of the wreck of the Pacific
Coast steamship Corona on Il reef at
the southeast point OF Levi, island,
$50 miles north oi Victoria on sun
day, january -.
The Corona sailed from Tacoma
with 24> passengers for Juneau, Dyea
and Skagwat, January 20. She carried
cargo of 700 tons, together with 10
horses and 30 dogs.
At J:30 Sunday morning the
steamer suddenly crashed upon II reef.
Most OF the passengers were up await
ing breakfast call, but the scene which
| followed was one OF Undesirable con-
| fusion.
When the steamer finally settled
down the officers and the crew sue
ccedcd III calming the panic-striken
passengers, and the boats were at once
ordered lowered, and the pumps
worked.
At Z 30 a. NJ. the first boat put off
for the nearest land, Lewis island.
Seven boats were manned and the
passengers were all landed in two trips
without accident. Hand baggage and
that in the forward hold was then
transferred and the dogs and horses
saved.
Mattresses and blankets from the
cabin stateroOms were also landed for
the accommodation of the ship
wrecked passengers. About noon the
steamer sank stern foremost with her
bow hanging to the rock upon which
she struck.
\ severe storm which struck the
camp added to the horrors of the help
less passengers. The storm continued
until Wednesday morning.
"Wednesday night the steamer
Danube was sighted and answered the
signal fired from the point, and
Captain Pierce boarded her in a canoe.
Upon his return he conveyed the glad
news that the steamers Alki and
Elder were close behind the Danube
and would relieve them.
The Danube proceeded south with
victims of the disaster. 1t was under
stood that one of the two vessels would
turn back to Fort Wrangel with such of
the passengers as desired to proceed
northward, while the other would bring
the remainder to Puget Sound.
News has also been received Of the
stranding of the 300.ton freight
steamer Coquitlam, owned by the
Union Transit company, of Vancouver.
Where she was beached or, in fact,
any particulars as to her condition
were not received.

perate-Ninety.Three Per Cent.
of Those on the Yukon Have
Horelessly Failed.
Under date of Feb. LIST, special
from the Latham News Bureau states
that a long telegram had been received
from the Army Quartcrmaster at Sc
attic, which gave the substance of five
reports from Captain Ray, who says
the situation at Dawson on the Upper
Yukon is desperate. lis latest re-
ports, dated November 9 and 3, refer
to the ATTEMPTED robbery OF the caches,
and advises that government take steps
to check efiectually the immigration to
the interior of Alaska of all who are
not fully supplied for two years. He
says that there is no way to earn
living and no placer discoveries have
been made within the last eight
months, either in Alaska or the North
west Territory. Ray says there is no
employment there for any large mum.
Der OF persons in any capacity, all
values being speculative. There is no
fixed standard of labor. There is not
now, nor is there likely to be within
II months, adequate or efficient means
of Supplying those people now in
Alaska or the Northwest Territory.
He thinks about 7 per cent of all who
have entered the gold fields during
the past year have earned their living,
and hundreds now scattered along the
Yukon are destitute of food, clothing
and money. People who are coming
in, he says, have not the faintest con-
ception of what to do to earn living,
and, after spending the money they
bring, will become helpless. He be-
lieves the rush from the States will
be great next year, and any steps
ahat will prevent persons from coming
unprepared will be an act of charity.

over n graceful maiden of seventeen,
the adopted daughter of family by
the name of Robinson, who have lately
returned from brief residence in Cal

want to unite the girl in marriage to
w. j. Marshall, young man who
made her acquaintance in California,
and have her accompany them to klon-
dixie. The girl says the marriage is not

Ferguson, to protect her from probable

her foster parents domicile Saturday
morning and placed in charge OF Mrs.

Robinsons and the prospective bride

had found her hiding place with

was induced to return home to get

About Wormy Apples.

The cause of so many wormy ap-
Piles is because the moth that pro-
duccs the worms find SO many places
to deposit their eggs in the moss and
rough bark. This may be prevented
by the timely use of wash or spray
of caustic potash. Make strong So
luton and apply with brush or spray
which removes the moss and increases
the growth of the tree, kills all vermin
and fungus growth. When used as a
spray, apply before the leaves start; as
a wash it may be used at any time.
Red Seal Lye is the only pure potash
in the market. rs it contains neither
salt nor soda.

Post Intelligencer says of late per-
Torrance in Seattle: "The music is
good, the chorus we'll sung and the
various solos, duets and quartettes
which 60 to make up rafting first
part, were all excellent, many of the
selections being new. An innovation
is introduced in having female voices
in the chorus of the first part, rs well
as a female interlocutor. This was
evidently appreciated by the audience.
The second part went off with dash
that kept the audience in laughter,
some of the jokes being not only ex-
ceptionally clever, but actually new.
The whole performance included with
James Whites original version of
can Evenings Diversion, or the
Tramp's Feast" This was new from
the usual wind-up of a minstrel per-
Torrance and was highly appreciated
by the audience. Taken as whole,
Georges minstrels may be considered
good card. The company is evenly
balanced throughout.
