STEAMSHIP OVERDUE.
Grave Fears Expressed for the safety
of the Scotsman.

MONTREAL. Sept. 27.-Grave fears are
expressed for the safety of the Dominion
line steamship Scotsman, Captain Skrim-
shire. which sailed from Liverpool for this
port on Sept. IA. The Scotsman was due
here on Sunday afternoon last, but the only
word so far is a cablegram from Liverpool
received by the agents this morning saying
the Dominion. OF the same line, which ar
rived at Liverpool yesterday. had passed the
Scotsman $50 miles east of Belle isle and
that TIE after had sigDaled all well. This
was on Thursday last. The Scotsman
should nave passed through the straits
on Friday and reported at Farther Point on
Saturday evening. The fears entertained for
the Scotsman are increased by the known
presence OF fee i'm unusual quantities both
outside and inside the straits, and by the
great storms reported on the Newfoundland
coast. The Scotsman had, in consequence
of the strike, a green crew in the fireroom.
But this is hardly sufficient to account for
the delay, as the ship, while not up to her
schedule time when passed by the Domin-
ion on the 21st, was not so far behind but
that she should have been reported at one
Of the gulf stations long ago. The Scotsman
had a heavy passenger list.

Pretty Scene in the HarbOr Near the
Fleet of Warships.

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-Viewed from the
shore skirting either Staten island or Bay
Ridge, the Narrows took on the appearance
tonight of a big water fete, a venetian
carnival. What might have been taken for
a great canal was formed by revenue cut
tiers and warships. beginning with the
Olympia, at St. George, and ending with
the Onondaga, lying off quarantine. Be-
tween this line of beautifully-lighted war
ships and the Staten-island shore darted
brilliantly illuminated launches. carrying
prettily gowned women, and occasionally d
party of naval officers, Respondent In gold
braided dress uniforms. The searchlights or
the ships chased many of these elusive
water ~greyhounds as they scurried hither
and thither in and out among the warships,
stopping at the gangway of one ship and
then hurrying to another, the ladies begging
at each to be permitted to go on board,
and laughingly protesting when the obdu-
rate officer of the watch talked of iron
naval rules which forbade visitors on the
ships after A o'clock.
The Olympia was the center of attraction.
The vari-colored lights used for signaling
were kept constantly flashing from ship to
ship, and at stated intervals a long success
sion of colored lights would flash out like a
sudden display of fireworks when a number
Of the vessels would simultaneously send
messages to the guardship. The most unique
illumination along the shores of the harbor
was the effective display at quarantine
boarding station above the Narrows. 1t con-
sisted of the words Welcome Home" in
white electric lights. with a border of red.
white and blue lights and an immense
American flag, fourteen feet by twenty-five
feet, set in an Illuminated frame of hun
dreds of white electric bulbs. This display
MOS xfcfh1a on nxyor tho haU and attracted
the attention of all the ships. besides an
immense concourse of Staten islanders and
visitors who invaded the quarantine
grounds. Another unique Illumination was
placed on the slope overlooking the quaran-
tine dock. and consisted of a string OF after
nate American flags and pennants sus-
pended from a center pole bearing three
large arc lights, covered with red. white and
blue globes. Very little red fire was burned
tonight. the coast residents preferring to
wait until Friday night, when the general
illumination of the coast will take place.

innate modesty. Then there were other Of
fetal visits between officers Of the fleet, and
these continued, with hardly an Interrupt
ton, for two hours. One of the admirars
first acts was to dispatch Flag Lieutenant
Brumby with his compliments to the mayor
of New York to apprise him officially of the
admirals arrival.

the harbor will in no wise interfere with the
programme for Friday. 1t will be carried
out as arranged. except that his flagship.
If 1t should poin the parade. would follow
the Olympia, instead of Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS flagship, the New York. But it Is
not certain that Admiral Howison will take
part. He is reported to have said this aft
ernoon that he and his crew were worn
out after their long journey and preferred
to rest and clean up their travel-stained
ship. If he should ride in the land parade
on Saturday, being SIMPSONS senior, he
will precede the commander of the North
Atlantic squadron.
At sunset the ensign came nutterlnS
down from all the ships. the crews and OFF,
GERS faced the flag and the national air
sounded over the water. The twilight fadeu
and strings of signal lights twinkled on
the flagship as orders were sent dancing
down the line. The fleet lay all shining
in light. The excursion boats, with their
crowds Of sightseers, continued TO circle
about the Olympia until the bugle sounded
taps and the lights went out.

of Sunday and Monday. which caused de-
structive landslides and floods, gathered at
the head of the Bay of Calcutta and then
moved north. giving heavy rain in Calcutta.
Dinajpur, Bangpur and Jalpaiguri. Its
greatest fury was felt at Darjeeling. Sim
ultaneously another storm gathered at
Bangpur and passed westward from Pur-
Dea to Monghyr. The usual weekly reports
have not been received by the government,
and there is reason to fear that the district
named is flooded and communication inter-
rupted. 1t is estimated that between OAR
1eeling and kurseong alone go persons lost
and Sonaga will be blocked probably for
two months. Both the upper and lower
Puglajhoras have been carried away. A
number of bodies have been recovered on
Happy Valley estate. The soldiers of the
Munster regiment are searching for bodies
ard clearing the roads.

over the northern portion of Bengal. Con-
siderable damage has also been done at
Siliguri. where a number of wooden nuts
and the plague camp have been destroyed.
The subsistence of the hillside at Darjeeling
continues and Is causing alarm. as It threat
ems to destroy the whole Liazaar.
Although the delayed reports from many
sections prevent accurate estimates. Ii is
evident that the fatalities far exceed three
hundred. No fewer than two hundred per-
sons were killed in the destruction of the

hundred at Darjeeling. Twenty-one bodies
have been recovered at T~amsongbatee.

TWO MILLION VISITORS.
New York Expects to Entertain a Null
titude-No Room i'm Hotels.


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-There is a real
crush in the New York hotels. Practically
all of them were filled to their utmost ca
pacity last night, but thousands of persons
who engaged quarters weeks and months
ago arrived in the city to-day to claim them.
Other thousands who were accommodated
last night with the understanding that they
should seek other quarters to-day were
turned out to shift for themselves. Gov
ernors, captains of the vessels in Dewey's
fleet, members of the Cabinet and officers
In the navy arrived In the city to-day.
Quarters for all of the city's guests have
been provided, but all others who came to-
day to seek rooms in the hotels were turned
away. Many of the leading hotels, while
turning away strangers, reserved a con-
siderable number OF rooms for their regular
patrons in case any should appear at the
eleventh hour TO seek accommodations. Be-
fore nightfall, however, everything worth
having was taken and visitors were forced
10 seek boarding houses.
as TO the number of visitors al
ready In the city range from Co., 0 10 1905
Vc. One of the officials OF the New York
Central Railroad said there were more Wis
itors in New York Tuesday than on the day
OF the dedication of the Grant tomb. 1t was
estimated that on that day. April q, 1887,
there were 56l, 900 visitors here. Most of the
railroads agree that unless weather condi-
lions are most unfavorable there will be
2,CU,00 visitors here on Friday and Satur-
day. This means hat the railroads and fer
ries will have to handle such. crowds as
never before. Active preparations are. in
progress day and night in anticipation of
these conditions, and the managers of all
the lines declare they do not anticipate a
single hitch. The Pennsylvania ompany
has even gone SO far as TO issue orders that
no freight trains are to be run on the New
York division on Friday and Saturday The
company will thus be able to have extra
tracks for its passenger traffic.
All available passenger equipment of the
various railroads is being concentrated at
the most advantageous termini for bringing
crowds into New York. The greatest in
ward movement is expected ,0n Thursday
night. All the roads have been running
about two-thirds of their capacity for the
last week. Railroad men themselves ex-
press establishment at the great advance
movement toward New York. Low rates
do not go into effect until Thursday, so
their inducement has not brought the thou
sands who have come so far in advance of
the reception ceremonies. 1t shows, too, the
railroad men say, that the visitors who are
now coming to New York have plenty of
money TO spend. The railroads will make
no reduction even. after Thursday for points
within a radius Of one hundred miles of New
York. The rate after Thursday for points
beyond that radius will be one and a third
fare for the round trip.

FEARED A COURT-M MARTIAL.
Dr.. Fuess Killed Himself c of
Charges Preferred.

NEW YORK, Sept. T.-It was because
he feared court-martial, the publicity of
which he believed would ruin his reputation,
that DR.. John Henry Fuess took his life on
the United States transport Burnside at
Barnegat last night. He Joined the service
July 9, 1895, and was stationed at Boca del
Toro. in Cuba. He shot himself in his cabin
while on his return home in response to an
army order. On his table was found a letter
dated Sept. 26 and addressed to DR.. c. E.
Hartung. of this city, to whom he gave all
his personal property. In the letter DR..
Fuess said his colored servant in Boco del
Toro had been induced by a surgeon from
Mobile, Ala. to w~rongfully depose that he
had suppressed information concerning q
yellow fever case. This false testimony,
DR.. Fuess wrote. would result in a court
martial and his disgrace.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The Times to-day

there is much Indignation among the fisher
men and exporters on the south and west
coasts of Ireland at the appearance of
American fishing boats. which compete
unfairly with the local men," The dispatch
a6ds: "A few years ago cured mackerel
were exported to the United States, afford
ing remunerative employment at a period
when employment was scarcest. The Nc
Kinley tariff killed the trade, and the ap-
pearance this season of American fish boats,
which are capturing autumn mackerel in
large numbers. has, therefore, caused great
irritation among the local fishermen, who
complain that the new arrivals are taking
their Old trade. The Americans. moreover,
use small mesh nets. which scoop up i'm
mature fish. These nets and sling nets
ever are prohibited in American waters. 1t

what more than fifty years. He came to the st.
Paul in 1856, succeeding in the vice presidency
the late julius Wadsworth, who had then re-
signed that position. Mr.. Bonds retirement, he
said to-day, was due to a wish TO insure the
maintenance of his health during the remainder
of his life. He was seriously i'll last winter and
felt that he might again break down under pres

while he remained in fairly good health and take
the rest he felt was due him.
