A GREAT DISASTER.
A French Torpedo Boat Destroyer
Sunk by n Battleship.
Fifty Lives Supposed to be Lost.
Four Officers and Fifty-Eight Men
of the Crew Were Sayed-The De-
stroyer Did hot Obey Orders.

PARIS, Aug. 12.-During manoeuvres
of the French fleet off Cape St. Vincent,
last night, collision occurred between
the first class battleship Brennus, fly
ing the flag of Vice Admiral Fourier
commander of the fleet, and the tor
redo boat destroyer France.
The France sank imediately. The
accident was due to the fact that the
France turned to the right when or
dered to the left.
Details thus far received are very
meagre; but only small portion of the
crew, consisting of four officers and
fifty-eight men, were saved. 1t is said
that no fewer than fifty were lost, and
great anxiety is felt here.
The France, which was of 313 tons
displacement, was a recent addition to
the French navy.

the several powers concerned
for the immediate cessation of
hostile demonstrations pending

''The above is respectfully copied
for transmission to Your Excel
lency to be communicated to the
Secretary of State for His Excel
lency's information"
While it is conceded by the
Washington officials that the con-
ference of plenary authority upon
Earl Ii to negotiate with the
powers for a settlement of exist
ing troubles is a
Step in the Right Direction,
IL by no means is assured that the
United States government will con-
sent offhand to open negotiations
with the distinguished viceroy.
The demands of this government
upon China have been made plain
ly and without equivocation. They
can not be misunderstood. Assum-
ing that the Chinese government is
acting in good faith, the demands
are reasonable and can be COM
piled with readily.
AS transmitted to the imperial
government by the acting Secre-
tary of State through Minister WI
the demands in brief were:
That the Chinese government
give assurance that the foreign min
listers are alive and if SO in what
condition;
That the ministers be placed in
free communication with their
governments, firing upon the lega-

Maintain Our Demands.


WASHINGTON, August r.
Tonight Secretary Adee, by direc-
ton of President Mckinley, pre-
scented to Minister WI for trans
mission to his government the reply
of the United States to the i'm
perial edict appointing Ii Hung
Chang envoy to negotiate with the
powers for a cessation of hostili-
ties. The text of the reply will not
be made public before tomorrow.
In effect, however, it is reitera-
ton of the demands previously
made by the United States upon
China, coupled with vigorous in
timation that no negotiations will
be entered into until the Chinese
government shall have complied
with those demands.

st
Richie. in Calhoun. IN Writ. and in the
eastern portion of this county. where he
has done business with the peoplel In adj
dition to his personal strength, Mr. Coll
Inns is one of the greatest political hustlers
ever seen in this or any other State. He
is not public speaker, but he is an edu-
Gated man, well informed on general top
les, and an excellent talker among people
in quiet, unpresuming way. And as
handshaker and general mixer he is ia
Gle princeps, can give points to the best
of them. 1t is said by those who know
him best that he will see and shake hands
with every voter in the district, and with
most of their wives and families, between
now and the time of election. And it is
further averred that he can make more
friends by such personal contact than
any other known man, from any quarter
of the globe.
The Republicans from Richie county
recognize the danger his nomination made
for the Republican ticket and they are
calling on their party friends throughout
the district not to be fooled by his quiet
manner and transformations ways. The
Evening Journal, of this city. sounded the
note Oh warning Oh the Qdy after HIS HOil-
inatfon. and in a way that showed that
Editor Morris, who lives in Richie county,
knew his man and feared him. 1t is more
than an even bet that Collins will beat
the Republican nominee, and become the
Representative in this district in the
Congress of the country.
The fact is
Success of the Whole Ticket
in this section seems assured Those who
may have been little weakened here
tofore were braced up in their strength
and faith by last nights meeting TO a
feeling of possible-nay, probable, almost
certain victory, that is worth hundreds
of votes to the ticket. Think of three
thousand people turning out to crowd
naturally warm wigwam on sulphur
ously hot evening such as that of yes
terday, in the early stages of the cam
paign and you can form some idea of the
spirit that is moving the Democracy Of
Parkersburg and Wood county. Three
thousand is a conservative estimate of
the number at the meeting. Even the
Republican papers rere acknowledge that
there were several hundred and as ten
per cent of the actual turnout at a DEM
ocratio mass meeting is a generous esti-
mate for them, it will be readily seen that
three thousand does not overshoot the
mark. The speech made by Judge Holt
was a masterpiece of political oratory of
the better kind free from rant and raw
ing and striving for effect, it appealed di-
rectly to the minds of thinking men, car
rying conviction to those that doubted,
shaking the faith of those who opposed,
and filing with enthusiasm and confidence

additional news from Gen Chaffee.
One dispatch was received from
him. transmitting a message which
he had received from Minister
Conger. Evidently the message had
been delayed long in reaching him
and his own dispatch was dated
four days ago. The dispatch was
as follows:
''Adjutant General, Washington.
"Toitsun, Sth. Message received
to-day.

be soon, Send such information

1t is presumed at the War
Department that the despatch of
Gen. Chaffee was dated at Yang
Tsun and that an error was made
in transmission While the mes
sage of Minister Conger contains
nothing rev it was encouraging
to the officials to have renewed as
surances of his ability and deter
mination to hold on" until relief
reached him. That Gen. Chaffee
will communicate to the basieged
minister tidings of hope and good
cheer if the opportunity be
afforded him, officials here are
certain. Mr.. Conger's expression
of hope that the long looked for
relief may soon reach him simply
adds TO the determination Of the
government to press forward to
Pekin as rapidly as may be pos
sible.

HAS A MONTHLY COUNCIL.
Anaconda, Mont. Is Happy with City
Fathers Who Meet with the
New Moon.

If city council should reach the con-
clusion that all public business could
be cared for at one meeting in a month
the citizens of the favored municipality
would rejoice and be glad. This might
apply with force to Chicago, provided
needed work could be done in the soli-
tary assembly, says the Chronicle. But
the United States contain a town where
councilmen are plenty, but who are
not so anxious to exploit their wares
as to meet more frequently than once
jim 80 days.
This city-it is a city-has many
things which go to make up a modern
city in all respects. 1t is Anaconda,
Mont. 1t is in the very middle of the
gold-bearing regions of the upper
Rockies, has fine system of public
utilities and is up to date. But the
members of the council, or the man
who drew up the charter, thought one
meeting a month would do for all prac-
teal purposes. Hence it happens that
the Anaconda papers make mention
thus:
''The December meeting of the city
council will occur on Tuesday night"
That is all there is to it, but it speaks.
II means that the man who seeks
job confirmatory of the council had
best be on hand Tuesday. Belize, if
he fail, he will be out in the cold for
yet another moon. And it wakes eX-
ceeding cold in the shadow of the Rock

of furnaces which encircle the hillsa
