TROUBLE ON A STEAMER
RUSSIANS AGAINST AMERI
CANS AND ENGLIsHMEN.
First Named Taken to Alaska, but
Returned to Siberia, Where
They Looted the ship.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2S.-The steamer
Samoa arrived to-day from Siberia, via
Cape Nome. The Samoa left this port last
June. having on board English and Amer
lean mining engineers and Russian miners,
employees of the East Siberian syndicate,
which had an imperial concession to mine
for gold along the coast of Siberia. When
Siberia was reached trouble arose between
the Russians on the one hand and the
Americans and English on the other. While
the Russians were asleep one night Cap
tain Johnson headed the Samoa for Cape
Nome. Before the Russians knew where
they were going the vessel was under the
American nag at Cape Nome. The Rus
slams demanded that they be returned to ST.
IBERIA. Colonel Evans. a United States
treasury official. was detailed TO go on the
Samoa TO see that the Russians committed
no overt acts. The American mining engi-
.leers remained at Nome. IL is charged
that when the Samoa again touched a ST.
berian port the Russians, despite the pres
ence Of Evans. looted the Samoa of it's
cargo. consisting of mining machinery,
provisions and $4,000 in gold.
George ID. Roberts. who was at the head
or the expedition. was disinclined to talk

FELL ON A LOCOMOTIVE
STARTLING EXPERIENCE OF A FE-
MALE AERONAUT IN vIGO.
Was Not Hurt, but Caused Much EN-
tanus-Death of j. f. Burton.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. &.-Mrs
Jennie Woodall. of this city. had a start
ling and singular experience in a balloon
ascension at the Pierson fair, in this coun-
ty. The balloon started upward properly.
but Mrs. Woodail had difficulty in loosing
her parachute. Steadily balloon and woman
grew smaller in the cloudy atmosphere
and presently was entirely lost to view.
There was great excitement at the fair
grounds. Women tainted and men ran back
and forth to get horses to go in the direc-
ton taken by the balloon.
A freight train was passing about the
time of the ascension and the crew saw the
balloon disappear. 1t was going their way
and they kept a lookout for it, Three miles
out Engineer Clarity saw the balloon and
parachute descending ahead of him and
over the track. Mrs. Woodall, sitting on
the trapeze, was waving her hand at him
TO stop. which he did as soon as possible.
The canvas of the balloon covered the
smokestack and forced the gas from the
firebox back into the cab, compelling the
engineer and fireman to leave it. Engineer
Clarity says he was afraid the balloon
would take fire from the sparks. but he
dared not back his engine, because Mrs.
Woodall was enveloped in the folds of the
canvas and might be injured.
Men from the fair grounds soon arrived
and extricated her, also lifting the balloon
from the locomotive. Mrs. Woodall was not
injured. and was less. excited than those
around her. She says that when she found
she could not get the parachute loose she
knew there was nothing TO do but sit still
on the trapeZe bar. She was thoroughly
drenched while passing through the rain
clouds. and at times she could not see two
feet from her face.
