gers at first, but there was no disorder,
and nothing that had the slightest sem
blance of panic. All made their way
on deck as quickly as possible, but before
many of them had left their cabins the
grating sound ceased. The Paris had, ap-
parently, gone over ledge, and taken
bottom almost Immediately afterward, for
by the time everybody was on deck the
vessel was at a standstill. The place
where the Paris stranded is in sight Of
land, and is so close to the wreck Of the
Mohegan that the masts of the latter. ves-
sci, which are still standing, can be- seen
from the decks of the American liner.
A few minutes after the ship struck
distress signals were burned and rockets
were sent up. These Immediately attract
ed attention, and in short time tugboats
were racing for the scene of the accident.
The lifeboat from Falmouth and life
boats from other places were not long In
reaching the stranded ship, but there was
nothing for them to do but stand by. The
passengers were quickly transferred to
two tugs and taken to Falmouth, where
all were safely landed.
No explanation was given for the ship
being so far off her course, but it is most
likely that a heavy fog that was prevail
ing caused Captain Watkins to lose his
bearings. Captain Watkins says, how
ever, that he is unable to account for the
unfortunate affair The man who was
acting as lookout forward says that he
saw the loom of the lead through the
vapor and shouted, -'1dY{d ahead" The
engines were immediately reversed, and
they were going full speed astern when
the ship struck. The Paris carried 360
passengers and 115 bags of mail.
The Manacles are among the most dan

FIRE WIPES OUT DAWSON.
klondike City swept by Flames,
Causing $4,OOO,OOO Loss.

Dawson City, the famous capital Of the
Klondike, has been practically obliterated
by fire that destroyed the entire business
section and many of the residences and
caused loss in all of not less than 81.
O00,O Nor is the financial loss the most
serious consideration involved, for, save
the American Camping Company's and
North American Trading and Transpor-
tation Company's warehouses, no supply
house is left to the district, and more than
three-quarters of the population Of the
mining town find themselves without food
or clothing supplies and homeless, and
with the opening of river navigation that
will enable fresh stocks to be received yet
more than a month away.
News of the great fire, the fourth Of an
expensive series in the Klondike this sea-
son, was brought out by three couriers--
Thos. Z. Reilley, Commissioner Ogilvie's
special messenger; L. i. Humes, a son Of
ex-Mayor Humes of Seattle, and Frank
Tokales, a Russian scout. They took their
lives in their hands to carry Dawson's
tale of misfortune to the outside world,
and, with the assistance of the mounted
police facilities and cooperation, got
through without disaster.
A veritable panic feigned in Dawson the
day after the fire, because hundreds Of
tons of provisions were burned up and II
will be at least FIVE weeks before any con.
siderable amount of provisions can be OBJ
tanned from the outside. An area OF
ground three-quarters of mile long and
four blocks in width was eaten over by
the flames, leaving absolutely nothing but

Henry WattersOn, since his idea Of
running Admiral Dewey for President
on the Democratic ticket has proved to
be of ''the stuff that dreams are made
Of" has apparently lost all hope of car
rying the country for that party in the
immediate future, or else he expects
that party not to adhere to it's old-time
policy of free-trade. At least such
would seem to be the case, If we are to
credit Mr.. Watterson with any reason
ing faculties whatsoever. He has OF
late been advising men of money to
build new mills. The whole course Of
events, both past and present, has
proved that one of the surest ways to
sink good money where it will bring in
no profitable returns is to invest it in
mills during the time when free trade
is the prevailing policy Of the coun-
try.
Closed mills do not mean profits, and
closed mills are approximately the only
kind of mills we have under free
trade. II Mr.. Watterson is sincere in
his advice to men of money that they
build new mills it must be that he is
convinced, as well he may be, that the
policy Of open mills, which is synon-
ymous with the policy of protection, is
to he continued.

first time since the close of the civil
war, had full control of the Govern

DEWEY AT HONG KONG.

Great Demonstration.

Great Demonstration.
The arrival Of Admiral Dewey at Hong
Kong was the occasion for hearty dem
onstration. All the warships in the har-
Dor fired an admiral's salute, and the sail
ors in the British warships manned the
rigging and cheered the hero of Manila.
The Olympia's anchor was scarcely down
when Aid Scott went ashore and called on
Consul Wildman, who returned with him
aboard the Olympia. After brief con-
versation with the consul, Admiral Dewey
went ashore to call on the governor. He
got slight taste of what awaits him when
he arrives in New York. The streets were
crowded with people eager to see the man
who had sailed away from Hong Kong a
little over year ago almost unknown, and
who was returning famous. The streets
were lined with the troops of the Royal
Fusileers, who kept the crowds in check.
All English houses were decorated with
the British and American flags.
Admiral Dewey, accompanied by Cap
tain Lamberton and Flag Lieut.. Brumby,
was received by the British governor,
Blake, with a squad Of honor. There was
full military band in attendance. All
the prominent British officers in Hong
Kong had gathered to congratulate
Dewey.
Governor Blake invited the admiral to
put up at the Government house. Dewey
declined with thanks. Admiral Dewey
health is somewhat impaired, but he is
not seriously i'll. A good rest will put him
in good shape

Protection Times.

The failures in April, 1899, accord
ing to Duns Review, were the smallest
in any month since records by months
began, SO per cent. smaller than in
April Of last year, not third of the
amount in 1897, and not half the
amount in April of any previous year.
Both in manufacturing and in trading
they were the smallest ever known in
that month, and in trading the small
lest ever known in any month, as in
manufacturing they were If the larger
failures were omitted. The ratio of de-
faulted liabilities to solvent payments
through clearing houses was less than
30 cents per $1,000, against 90 cents In
January and $1.19 in March, $3.50 in
August, and $500 in September, 1896.
A great share of the risk in the busi-
ness world has been eliminated. Truly
these are good protection times.

voices in the castle court yard. The sere-

breakfast room, where she was surround

she witnessed a parade of the Scots
Guards, who fired an honorary salute.
In the evening the castle and grounds
were brilliantly illuminated. A banquet
was served, and later performance of
"Lohengrin" given in the Castle Theater.
The Queen received kilograms of congrat-
ulations from all colonies, and hundreds of
messages from societies and individuals.

Industrial Inquiry Cards.

The American Protective Tariff
League is sending out inquiry cards to
the employers of labor throughout the
United States, asking for information
as to the number of hands employed
and the amount of wages paid during
the month of March, 1890, and also the
figures for the month of March, 1895.
In this way, it is thought, clear and
unmistakable showing may be made
Of the great advance in material pros
perity that has taken place in the last
two years. In order that this investi-
CATION may be made as thorough and
far-reaching as possible, the Tariff
League will take pleasure in mailing
these inquiry cards to all who may ap-
ply. A summary of these industrial re-
turns will be published in the Ameri-
can Economist.

WEST is SURE TO WIN.
Either Hopkins or Henderson Will
BE the Next Spe ,ker.

A Washington correspondent says that
as time passes on the opinion grows that
the speakership will go to the West. Old
politicians assert that Sherman is becom-
ing steadily weaker and that there is no
longer the slightest chance of his having
q united East behind him. Between Hop
kins and Henderson, this correspondent
asserts, the chances at present seem
slightly in favor of the latter. Hender-
sons election would be a continuation in
power Of the "Reed" element. Henderson
is a member of the Committee on Rules,
which runs Congress. 1t makes orders
OF business under the rules or il refuses
to make orders. 1t suggests changes in
the rules and then steers them through.
or course, IL the House does not like the
work of the Committee on Rules, II can
reject it, but it seldom does so. Many
elements of popularity are held by Hen
derson and some qualifications for the
speakership are admitted to be his. His
loyalty to the administration is not less
than his loyalty to the rules of the House.
Hopkins, il is claimed by many, would
make a better Speaker.
AS between Hopkins and Henderson,
the East would be pretty evenly divided.
Both have warm personal friends among
the Eastern members, and 1t will be IA
difficult for the managers to throw the
Eastern vote as whole to either as II
would to combine them for an Eastern
candidate.
The seven Republican Congressman
from Kansas claim that they control the
contest for speakersbip of the national
House Of Representatives as between a
Western and Eastern man. Four of the
seven are for Henderson of Iowa, two for
Hopkins of Illinois and one, Curtis, for
Sherman of New York. A caucus is to be
held within ten days and II the majority
rules Henderson will have the seven Kan
sas votes. These votes, the Kansans
claim, will be the balance of power be-
tween the East and West.
