ASHORE AT ST. JOSEPH.

Wreck Of the Big Grain Steamer City of
Duluth-Ths Passengers aud Crew All
SaVed-GHIIant and Successful Efforts of
the LIfs-SavInS Crew-One of the Pas
sengers, Mrs. VIM. Tryon, VIII DIE
the Result of EXPOSURE.
ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Jan. 2S.-The big
grain steamer City of Duluth arrived
of this port from south Chicago
Wednesday night at $50 o'clock, and
attempted to enter the harbor. There
was tremendous wind from the north
west, and a very heavy sea rolling.
The Duluth kept on her course into
the harbor, and at the mouth of the
river struck a bar, and was thrown
heavily against the north pier, break
ing in two Immediately.
The mammoth steel arches on either
side of the boat gave away Immediate
ly, and the bow of the boat dropped
two or three feet A large hole was
stove in the port side of the boat as
she swung around, and she went to
the bottom in an hour. leaving only
her cabin and part of her bulwarxS
above water.
The two big tugs Morford and Pro-
lection, which had accompanied the
big boat on her trip across the lake,
made several desperate attempts to
reach her and get the crew and passen-
gers off, but were every time unsuc-
ceSsful. The life-saving crew was sum-
moned, and reached the scene of the
disaster in quick time, considering at
they had diSbanded for the winter. At
midnight they had shot a mortar line
to the boat, and the rescue began.
The first one to be taken ashore was
August Kernwein, business man of
this city. He dipped into the water
several times during the perilous trip
and was badly frozen when he was
pulled out onto the pier. The rest of
the passengers were taken ashore in
this manner, one at q time. There
were il passengers and % of the crew.
Capt. Mclean was the last to leave,
he being taken off at a. III. There
were several ladies aboard. The mem
bers of the life-saving crew took turns
going out in the car after them. Mrs.
William Tryon is now dying from the
effects of the trip. She was in n deli
cate condition and was badly frozen,
and was seized with nervous prostra-
ton. There Is no hope for her to live.
The City of Duluth is an old boat,
but one of the largest sailing on Lake
Michigan. She has been in the grain
carrying trade for many years. She is
owned by the Lake Michigan 81 Lake
Superior Transportation Co., and was
being operated here by the Graham &
Morton Transportation Co. She had u
heavy cargo of corn and flour and a
deck load of merchandise for local
merchants.
There is no hope of saving anything
from the wreck, as there is a very high
sea rolling. No boat can reach her,
and she is rapidly going to pieces. The
engineer says that when the boat
struck the engine jumped foot, and
was Immediately torn to pieces.
The water rushed in, put out the fires
and the firemcn barely escaped up the
ladders. The floor of the cabin deck
gave a mighty heave upward, and the
passengers were thrown into the wild
est confusion.
The steamer and cargo were valued
at 100000 with insurance of $40, 900
on steamer and $40, 900 on cargo.

A SPECIAL EMISSARY.

To be Sent to Cuba to Distribute AmerI-
Contributions of Food and Clothing.
New YORK, Jan. 29.-The Times
says: President Mckinley has de-
cided to send to Havana ii special
emissary whose duty will be the dis
tribution of the supplies sent there by
the Cuban relief committee of this city.
The committee has appointed sub
committees all over the east and south,
and the contributions in the way of
clothing, provisions, furniture and
cooking utensils have been SO great
that when they were shipped to Ha-
vana Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, to whom
they were consigned, found himself
entirely unable to handle them with
his limited supply of help.
Besides distributing the supplies it
will be the duty of the agent to inform
the revenue inspectors of Havana
about the goods sent by the relief COM
mittee.
Stephen e. Barton. the local char
man of the committee, in an interview,
said that the response by the people of
the United States to requests for aid
for the impoverished residents of Cuba
had always been prompt and that at
times the supplies were so great that
they could be scarcely be handled.

WAITING FOR AN ADVANCE.
The American Market Overstocked with
bohemian Sugar.

The American Market Overlooked with
bohemian Sugar.
WASHINGTON, Jan 2S.-United States
Consul Donzelman, at Prague, has
furnished the state department some
interesting facts relative to the sugar
production of Bohemia. He says that
the exports 60 the United States from
his district have fallen off S3S,316 in
the December quarter, as compared
with the corresponding quarter OF
the previous year, which is attributable
entirely to the complete stoppage of
the expectation of sugar. The
consul says that the reason of the stop
page, according to the dealers state
ments, is that they shipped u large
surplus to.the United States prior to the
passage of the present tariff, and have
thus overstOcked the market. They
also say that the United States this
year will run short of sugar, resulting
in Il rise in the market price of sugar
before they export any more. Hence
they are storing the sugar in gov
eminent warehouses, expecting the ad-
vance.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Jan. 27.-Deputy
United States Marshal Tilghman re.
turned last night from Pottawattomie
county, where he had been for week
Investigating the recent burning of
the two Seminole Indi ans. He states
that there is no truth in the report of
the arrest of some of the lynchers.
The names of score or more of the
mob have been obtained by the Off
GERS, however, together with strong
evidence.
A large number of warrants will be
issued at once and wholesale arrests
will be made before the week is out.
He says that almost every member OF
the mob is a resident OF the Indian ter
ritory and that the arrests will first be
made there on a charge of kidnapping
and conspiracy, as the murder charge
will hold only on the Oklahoma side OF
the line. United States Marshal
Thompson is daily expecting special
instructions from the depar tment of
Justice to assist the county authorities
in prosecuting the members OF the mob
for murder.

IRREGULARITIES WINKED AT

Cargo of Arms.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-According to q
dispatch from Birmingham to the
Globe, the capture of the British
steamer Beloochistan, off Muscat, Ara
bia, by the British gunboat Lapwing,
and the seizure of her cargo of arms
and ammunition, has temporarily
paralyzed some of the large gunmall'
ers, because the London merchants
concerned have ordered them to sus.
pend operations.
A well-known manufacturer says
that on the order of London mer.
chant, he has turned out 100 rifles and
ton of ammunition weekly for the
last three years. The rifles consisted
of Martins and Metfords.
The Parsian authorities, it seems,
winked at these Irregularities, until
Great Britain interviewed.
The same firm was preparing to turn
out 1000 weapons monthly to the same
customer.
