| DlIxslOx PETITION DENIED.
The petition for the division
Of st. Louis county and the
formation Of the new county OF
Iron was on Wednesday denied
by the state board, composed OF
Coy. Clough, Secretary Of State
Berg and Assistant State Audit
or 1verson. r : t.ss s", r. = :, -. =. ;
The reason assigned was that
the petition did not conform to
the requirements of law, the de.
viations as given beng purely
OF q technical nature, and to the
average range resident the, ac-
ton Of the board is consided not
only as an outrage but as the
outcome Of the. behests of Duluth
republican politicians. who rec
ognize that 10 the division of the
county their political heads
would fall prey to the opposi Il
ton. and it is firmly believed
that the mind Of the board had
become q unit against the petit.
ton before the meeting or before
the presentation Of any argu:
ment by the opposition, who
were represented by the Duluth
News Tribune's attorney in the
matter, W. L. Window.
= The petition and papers per-
tanning to the proposed division
were drawn by Draper, Davis T.
HOLSTER, acknowledged as the
leading law firm of the state, and
by the &C ion of the board their
reputation has been seriously at
tacked-an action which will not
be passed unnoticed, and The
Enterprise mistakes the gentle
men if a fight for right and JUS
tice is not yet made and manda.
mus proceedings instituted to
compel the board to. authorize
the division proposition to be
placed on, the ballot.
Locally, the news of the de.

fate Of relatives and friends who had
taken passage. M. Faguet the as
sistant general agent, has passenger
lists distributed to all inquirers, who
eagerly scanned the slips.
General Freight Agent Cainchois and
NJ Faguet after a brief conference
stated that since they had positively
| no official information regarding the
loss Of the ship they would be COM
PEELED to treat the matter Of the loss
merely as rumor. Nevertheless they
issued orders to all the clerks to cease
work and Immediately prepare lists of
names with such addresses as they had
In order to relieve the anxiety of friends
In case the report should be verified.
To cOmplicate matters only a few of
the passengers of La Bourgogne had
given addresses. After some hours of
careful work M. Faguet gave out re-
vised list of the passengers A roster
of the ships crew could not be given
with any degree of accuracy, as it is
stated the names of the men are kept
at the Bureau des Marines at Havana.
The first official information of the
wrecking of the steamship was receiV-
ed late in the afternoon when M. Cain
chois received q cablegram announcing
the destruction of the Bourgogne with
all her saloon passengers and all cf
the officers except two or three. Short
ly after this he received a list of the
survivors, but would not make it pub
lie until he had verified it and taken
ample precautions against creating
false hopes or reports. Two hours Later
he gave out the Est of the saved.
M. Faguet says there were eighty
three first-clsgs passengers, thirteen
second-cl class and 297 third class passen-
gers on board.
Later In the day the report of the
rescue began to reach the officials.
They said the saved had been taken
away on three boats and on three RATS.
The meager information received by
the officials indicated that only one
woman, Mrs. A. D. La Casse, of Plain
field, N. j., had been rescued. About
80 per cent of the crew had been taken
off in safety before the ship went down.
The crew numbered 222 men. The Of
f1cials say that the large percentage of
crew saved is explained by the fact
lHdl luGy were Oil OSCh, WLic CiiS pas
sengers were below. The office.S saved
from the La Bourgogne are:
Engineer, Edourade Luisne.
Engineer, Emile Lebouch.
Electrician, Andre de Presse.
Purser, Earnest Toots.
The officials were of the impression
that La Bourgogne carried thirty Of
f1cers in all, but of this they were not
positive.
NJ. Faguet said La Bourgogne Wa
valued at $1,75O,000 and was OF 7,Sa)
tons displacement. She carried with
out other cargo $3.50 tons of hardware
and agricultural mach merry. No definite
information could be given about the
Insurance on the cargo.

SURVIVORS TO RETURN.


NEW YORK, July ct was an
nounced at the French line this after
noon that the surviving passengers
have been given the choice by the
Halifax agent of the company to re-
turn to New York either by rail or by
water. Those who desire may sail on
Saturday on La Touraine.
AN ILL-FATED CRAFT.
La Bourgogne had had many. mis-
haps since she was built at Toulon,
France, in 1885, In 1890 La Bourgogne
almost met the same fate that over
took her last Monday morning. The
French liner had left Havre on Jan. a
and at midnight was off the Scilly
islands. 1t was then blowing hur-
ricane, when suddenly the British
steamer Torridon, bound for Glasgow,
headed directly across her bow. The
Frenchman crashed into the steamer,
striking her stern, carrying away her
propeller and otherwise damaging her.
She escaped with slight injuries, and
the English vessel was able to proceed
to the nearest port In February, 1896,
La Bourgogne collided with the steam
er Ailsa in the narrows of New York
harbor, off Fort Wadsworth. The
Ailsa sank before she could be run
aground.
NUMBER OF PASSENGERS.
Inquiries at the French line offices
concerned in the number of people on
board La Bourgogne showed that there
were but eighty-f1ve first cabin passen-
gers. The remainder of the list, 1T was
explained, was made up of second cab
in passengers, and was not quite COM
plete. No record is obtainable Of the
remainder of the second cabin people,
nor of the third class. This makes the
total number of persons on board, ac-
cording to the best information obtain
able, 725, divided as follows: Eighty
five first cabin, 125 second cabin, 295
third, and 22G crew..
LA BOURGOGNE'S CARGO.
The total value of La Bourgogne's g
cargo was s21, ,851. The following mail
matter was on the steamer: 1,701 regis
tered letters, &c bags of letters, 101 bags
Of printed matter from New York city,
a small quantity of foreign mails for
France from Chilli Ecuador, japan,
Mexico, Venezuela and Curacao, 160
money orders fer Italy, amounting to
s3,731; 55 money orders for Switzerland,
amounting to $1,645, and a small num-
ber of letters from different parts Of
the country, outside of New York CITY.
PARASIANS SEEKING FRIENDS.
