London, July 25.-Advices Just re-

cocks, the commander of the relief
column in Ashanti, describes his en-
trance into Kumassi, July Is, a scene
of horror and ~desolation being visible
on all sides. He adds that the native
soldiers were too weak to stand and
that the brother officers thanked God
for relief, as q few DAYS, , they de-

COLLISION OCCURS IN A FOG

Gampnnta MOI seriously
DnrnaEcd.

London, July 24.-AS dense fog hung
over the Irish channel yesterday
morning and the Culiard line steamer
ECampania, en- route from New York
for liverpool, struck the Liverpool
bark Ernbleton, bound for New ea-
land, amidships, cutting her in twain.
The Embleton sank Immediately
Seven of the crew We're rescued, but
it is believed the other eleven mems
bers of the ships company, including
the captain, were drowned. Z
The Cnmpnnia haGa her bows stove
in, hut arrived safely ut Liverpool,
The Campania was little injured,
but had a narrow escape from a, serl-a
GUS disaster. ~
When the eampania was about thir-
ty miles northeast of Tnskar light a
phantom ship rose suddenly, without
warning, directly across her bows.
Thirty seconds later the phantom had
become a solid smiling vessel, into.
which the liner crashed, her steel
forefront going through the Emble-i
ton like the clean cut Of n sword, md
dividing her just abaft the main-
mast. The forward half sank i%nstant-
TX. The stern swung yiciously around,
and the mast and yards for a moment
tore mt the Calnpania. A lump of
Mreckage came down On her decks.
Then the stern@of the bark also dis
appeared, and the surface of the sci
was literally Uttered with asplintered
%timbers, boxes, barrels, the whole
upper works and lighter cargo, the
deck house and such things. Then
there was nothing.
According to the Embleton's r
vivors. for nearly half an hour before
the collision the captain and t~irst<of-.
ficer We're below at breakfast, and al-
though the fog whistle of II large
steamer could be heard every minute
the bark never shifted her course, the
helmsman receiving no order.
When, at S:25 Il. M, the second of.
fieer. to use his own phrase, heard
the rush of a steamers bows" he
shouted down to the captain, who
rushed on deck, but lie was too late
to give an8order.
The Campania was on one-tllird
steam. The captain, first officer and
pilot were on the bridge. The en-
gines We're instantly reversed and the
helm put hard down. No precalltion
was omitted. Some of her passen-
gers had even grumbled at what they
called supertluous caution.
After the crash and sudden cries the
boats were quickly got out. There
were no signs of panic; the crew
We're. everywhere at their stations;.
the best discipline was maintained;
the bulkheads We're closed and every
thing possibleswas done to Il Y life.
Some of the Campania's plates were
bent by the collision; her forepeak3
filed with water; her foretop mast
was broken short off, and her sseel
rigging torn and twisted.
The passengers held II meeting,
adopted resolutions of thanks to the
captain md crew, and subscribed
Zoo for the relief of the SURVIVORS
and the families of the lost.
The Cunard otticiais announce that
the damage suffered by the liner will
not prevent her sailing for the United
States next Saturday.

Death of Lfncolnss Registrar May
Reveal Natiqn's Henefact0r.
Burlington, VT July 25.-L. i. Chit
tenden. registrar Of heEtreasury dur
ing the. Lincoln administration died
here yesteIdny,sagcd 77syears.
i. 81. Chittenden was probably tho
of ts.le man in London who, IN 1862
loaned the United States government
s~1,000,000, worth then, owing to the
premium on gold. nenrly $4,000, 900,
without security, and especially WISH
ing to avoid notoriety.
Never, probably, did more than four
persons know the name of this M
stionai benefactor, for at that time the
government vas desperately In need;
of money. The loan was made through
Charles Francis Adams, then minis
ter to the court Of st. James.
Mr.. Chittenden was frequently,
urged to give the name of the man
who made this loan so freely, but he
always declined. But once he said:
"a paper has been drawn up contain
ing his name, and perhaps it will be.
turned over to the treasury depart
ment9 in time
This means that Mr., Chittenden
himself had drawn up the paper and,
that some provision has been made
so that now, at his death, the govern
ment will come into possession ofsthei
name of the man, with all the facts
in the case. The matter of making
the name public will undoubtedly be
left to the discretion OF the president
or secretary OF the treasury.

Sioux Falls, s. D., July 25.-"Yhite-'
cap parties seem suddenly to have
become popular in some parts OF
South Dakota. In addition Ito the
raid OF a party of farmers in this
lMinnehaha) county on the home OF.
nm undesirable neighbor &khom they
wished to drive out of tho coun-
try, Kingsbury county has also
EdeyetOped n somewhat similar case,
differing in that the party who was
uninterrupted" instead of fleeing
from the country, stood his ground
and had a score or more of his assnil-
ants arrested.
The victim of the Kingsbpry coun-,
Ity "whitecappersf was a farmer
named Jens Sands. His story is to
the effect that from seventeen to
twenty men, wearing Masks came to
his hous on Snndaysnight, placed a
line from a harness around his neck,
dragged him outside the house, and
nearly pounded him to death.
Seventeen of Sands a%ssailants were
arrested. Three others, who were
wanted for participating in the at
tack, fed from the state. OF those
arrested, Charles Harrison, Charles
Coulson, James Braley ard Andrew
Sorstad have been bound over for
trial at the next term Of circuit court,
Braley's bond being placed at $500
md the-cthers at $3.50 ench.
1ankton, s. D., July 25.-The coun-
try folks near Parker have had a tar
and feathering bee. The recipient of
the little attention was one Barney
Feensterman, and his nearest neigh
bors to the number OF about twenty,
clothed in flowing. white robes and
with masks over their faces, are said
to have attended to the details of$the
entertainment.
For a number of years Barney has
conducted himself in a way highly Of
fensiye to those living near him. He
has abused his old father, who lives
with him, In a benstly manner; has
threatened and quarreled with his
%neighbors on the slightest pretext or
none at all.
The limit of endurance having been
reached, the people OF the community
sent him n note to leave Mt one or
suffer the consequences, and signed
the warning "Whitecaps." Instead of
taking the kindly advice Barney rode
around the country with n drawn re-
yolver, threatening anyone who
crossed his path.
The following night a number of
ghostlike figures gathered in a con-
v%enient place. Barney went visiting,
and upon his return his horse was
suddenly surrounded and Barney as
sisted to alight by the ghostly figures,
His hands and feet were pinioned, de-
spite his violent struggles and terrific
swearing, his clothing was removed
and a mixture of boiler paint, tar and
crude oil was literally applied, after
which a covering of feathers was put
IN and the now somewhat subdned.
nan turned loose to reflect and sepa-
rate himself from his snug fitting
suit. 1t is common talk in the neigh
borhood that it this warning is not
sufficient that the committee will car
srY a rome on their next visit.

The state department. has received
"a number OF dispatches from foreign
governments relative to the Conger
dispatch. also from u officials in
China, including Consul Goodnow.
Without exception they discredit the
accuracy of the dispatch and advance
various theories to show its lack of

Wu Confers With Hay.
Minister WI conferred with Secre-
tary Hay this morning. The Chinese
minister was with the secretary for
some time, md on his departure the
department gave out an Imperial
edict of the Chinese government, the
substance of which has been previ-
ously made known.
Concerning the proposition for me-
ldiation made by China the state de-
partment is not prepared today to
make any statement. 1t is surlnised
Secretary Hay is engaged in consid-
ering the governments answer,
which probably will be delivered to
Minister WI later, but no statement
as to the curse OF procedure could
be obtained in any official quarter.
Both the state department and Chi
nese officials took occasion today to
deny the report that plans We're on
foot for the delivery of Minister Com
ger by the Chinese authorities to Adj
miral Remcy ut Ten Tsin.
The war department is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of sending the Ham
