Diehl and other prominent citizens. Mr..
Carnegie made an offer to the city of Pitts
burg to build n technical school i'm connec-
tion with the Carnegie Institute and endow
IL with 100000. The tone of Mr.. Carne-
gie's address would indicate that as in the
case of the institute, his contribution would
be increased later to meet the needs of
the proposed school. In addressing Mayor
Diehl Mr. Carnegie said in part: For
many years / have nursed the pleasing

After saying that he had given much at
tention to the technical schools both in
the United States and Great Britain dur
ing the past few years. Mr.. Carnegie went
on as follows. II believe that a first -class

aroused the greatest interest among the
scientific men of Monterey and throughout
this country. The Chinese temples alluded
to are i'm the State of Sonora, on the Pa
cific coast The ruin of one of the temples
was discovered near the town of Ures, in
that State about two years ago. One of
the large stone tablets found In the rum
was covered with carved Chinese char
acters, which were partly deciphered by a
learned Chinaman who visited the ruins at
the request of the Mexican government.
This Chinaman made the assertion at the
time that the ruins were those of the tenn
pies which had been erected many CEN
turtles ago by Chinese. but his statement
was not received with credence: 1t has
long been claimed that the inhabitants of
the State of Sonora are descendants of
these early Chinese settlers. They possess
many traditions and characteristics of the
Chinese. If the report of the finding of
these records in Picking is verified an eX-
petition will be sent from here to explore
further the ancient temples of Sonora.

FROM A SINKING SHIP
CAPTAIN AND THIRTEEN SAILORS
RESCUED BY A STEAMSHIP.
Five Days at the Mercy of the Waves
on Water-Logged Vessel
Mammoth Iron Steamers.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Nov. 15-After
floating on the ocean in a helpless con-
dition on a sinking vessel for five days.
Captain Andersen and his crew of thirteen
hands of the Norwegian bark High Flyer
arrived here to-day, having been rescued
by the British steamer Georgian Prince,
Captain Flett, from Hull. During the five
days the crew was at the mercy of the
waves it saw only two steamers. The first
one. according to Captain Andersen, came
within half a mile OF his vessel, but
steamed away without giving any aid. The
second ship sighted was the Georgian
Prince. The High Flyer sailed from
CampbeIlton, p. Z. L., for Newport, Wales,
on Oct. 10. with a cargo Of lumber. Eleven
days out the bark encountered severe
gale which tore away her sails and
strained the vessel so that she sprang a
leak of nine inches an hour. All hands
were kept busy at the pumps so that the
bark could be kept afioat until passing
vessel could render assistance. Four days
passed, and on the morning of the fifth
day Transatlantic liner passed near, but
only answered the distressed vessePs sig
nal by raising a flag.
Captain FIett of the Georgian Prince.
made a report of the rescue. in which he
said: AT p. IN. Nov. sighted the Nor
wegian bark High Flyer, of Christiana,
showing signals of distress, and on coming
nearer / found that the captain and crew
wished to abandon the ship, as she had
sprung a leak and was in a sinking con-
dition. / then ordered my boats TO be got
ready to take them on board my vessel.
The captain reported to me that the whole
crew had been continuously working at the
pumps for five days and nights. and that
the crew was exhausted, a fact i could
see when Ii came on board, as Ii was
scarcely able to get on the Georgian Prince
without help. After consulting with the
captain, who said the derelict would be
waterlogged before morning, as the water
was gaining nine inches an hour, and lying
in the direct track of steamers both east
and west bound, / decided TO destroy her
and sent the boat back with my first and
third officers and a crew, and set fire to
the bark i'm two places. i could see her
burning high for two hours after steamed
away"
