A TRAGEDY
ON THE OCEAN
The Steamer Islander Strikes An
Iceberg and Sinks Within
Fifteen Minutes.
60 PERSONS WERE DROWNED
The Boilers Exploded as the Steamer Sank
About $30O.OOO in Gold Was Lost
The Accident Occurred Near =
Douglass Island.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 19.-The steamer
Islander the flagship of the Canadian
Pacific navigation fleet, and the largest
and fastest passenger steamer of the
ctoria-Skaguay route, collided with
ice off Douglas Island, Alaska, while on
her way south with the largest number
of passengers she carried since she
had been placed on the run few
months ago. and sank within fifteen
minutes after striking. Captain Foote,
her master, and about 65 persons We're
drowned. To add to the horror of the
disaster, the steamers boilers exploded
as she went down, causing death to
many who were struggling in the wa
ter. The steamer left Skaguay on
Wednesday last, and was proceeding
off Lynn canal when the collision oc-
Cured. A majority of the passengers
and crew were awakened by the shock
and got on deck in time to be saved in
boats which were quickly manned, but
large number went down in the
staterooms. Some survivors arrived
here last evening by a steamer which
passed over the scene of the appalling
disaster on the evening following and
picked them up at Juneau. All saved
give the greatest praise to the officers
for the manner in which they acted. The
officers state that had the passengers
not rushed to the boats, none would
have been lost. Some survivors landed
at Douglas IEand and mate was sent
to Juneau for help, the steamers Flos-
sic and Lucy responding and taking
them to Juneau. Among the passengers
lost were Mrs. Governor Ross of Daw-
son, child and niece, and DR.. John M.
Duncan of Victoria. T. is thought that
the doctor lost his life in futile at
tempt to rescue Mrs. Ross and family.

lost.

had $4,000 worth of gold dust in a
satchel, but promptly abandoned 1t
and was rescued. d. Fl. Hart the Klon-
dixie king, had $4,000 of gold dust,
which he abandoned. M. Mantin Of
Winnipeg, dropped his satchel contain
irg $4,000. Another Klondiler, whose
name is not given, is reported to have
taken his portmanteau containing
$4,000 worth of gold dust from the pur-
ser and jumped from the sinking
steamer to a boat which he failed to
reach Both the man and the treasure
sank At Juneau, Consul Smith saw
DIR. Phillips of Seattle, who escaped,
but who lost his wife and child. The
doctor insisted that no one called at his
state-room. The Islander was built at
Glasgow at a cost of over 100000 and
arrived at Victoria on December 9,
1888, and has since been engaged in the !
Vancouver trade.

EELs IN A STEAMBOAT HULL.

EELS IN A STEAMBOAT HULL.
 "The eel problem is no new thing" said an old river man yesterday, "and yet there are some features of the question which have been overlooked by the scientific writers who have dis cussed the matter. For many years the eel has been a source of great an- noyance to men who have depended on the old mill dam to turn the wheels of the mill machinery. Many dams have been rendered absolutely useless by these slippery pests, and so far efforts to exterminate or control them in any way have been unavailing. They are particularly troublesome during the breeding season, when they travel to- ward the heads of streams, and it not infrequently happens that in some way they burroW through mill dams, and finally destroy the utility of the dam by giving the water a chance to sift through the small openingsi they make. I'ub IL lIetNC DSGll eD lO opSClNC lllC SCt in another capacity recently He is fond of the hulls of steamboats and other water craft, and apparently the oily member is never happier than when he gets into quarters of this kind. Across the river from New Orleans among the docks, and around some of the floating hulls that line that side of the stream, the eel is numerically very strong, and the negroes catch a great many of them. They are very fond of cells, and they regard an old steamboat hull as an eel factory. These Wriggling creatures do great damage occasionally to the hulls of boats, and leaks are sprung earlier than they would be oth- erwise because of the presence of these pests But there is one thing that has greatly puzzled me, and this is the point of this tale, and that is how they manage to get into the hulls of boats when they are kept tightly closed and when there is absolutely no chance for them to slip in from the outside, Ne groes have grown superstitious about the matter, and while they continue to feast on eels when they catch them, they look upon the eel in the closed hull with a certain amount of misgiv- ing, and they regard his presence there as a little short of miraculous.

THE STOCK MARKE
Large Financial Interests Conducting
 some Notable Operations.

Some Notable Operations.
 New York. July S.-The action of
 prices in to-day's stock market made 1t evident that very large financial inter- ests were conducting some notable op-
 erations The effort was made to have
 it appear that some occult manoeuvre
 was going on designed to inveigle the
 public into parting with their stocks at
 declining prices for the benefit of the large financial interests who seemed to be themselves selling stocks with great industry. The final action of the mark ct left little room to doubt that ur-
 gent liquidation was being effected
 Great caution must be exercised to
 judge correctly how far the liquidation
 was influenced by the immediate devel-
 opments of the day, and how far by
 general sense of disquiet and dis
 trust, which has been gaining force in
 the market for several weeks past
 The Seventh National bank episode has
 undoubtedly induced a general over
 hauling of collateral by the banks of
 the Wall street district. Not a little
 liquidation has been immediately in-
 duced as result. In the stock market
 large speculative holdings have been
 withheld from sale only by reason of the support which has been accorded to prices by large syndicates and money interests. The indications were that a considerab ble part of this sup port was withdrawn to-day and large holdings were dislodged by the decline in prices winch was allowed to occur. Tho selling was concentrated in char acter, the butt of it coming from few stock exchange houses which have of- ten acted for western capitalists, some of whom had become prominent in the steel trade before the formation of the United States Steel corpora tion, and have been relegated to the background since the formation of that corpora tion. The selling attributed to this source was enormous, not only of the United States Steel stocks themselves but of the railroad stocks which led the slump, The immediate cause of the weakness of this group was the report- ed announcement by the Atchison au- thorities that freight rates would be cut in the Chicago Missouri river ter ritory on July 15, AS the railroads in this territory comprise the principal properties supposed to have been brought into community of interest. and as there has been a large specula- ton in them founded on this supposi tion, the hostility manifested by the cutting of rates made them peculiarly vulnerable. They led the decline all the way with only occasional strag- gling rallies on covering by bear trad

CTS. In the final break St. Paul fell an extreme 10 5s, Missouri Pacific 8, Union Pacific 75s Atchison 69s, and United States Steel, which offered some resist ance during the day, suddenly drop ped four points under very heavy offer ings. While the, general market was less acutely affected there were some very sharp losses recorded among the New York public utilities, the most prominent industrials and the eastern trunk lines and coalers. The declines in these ranged from to points in the principa! cases and the market closed in a sem-demoralized condition. The call loan rate was offered down from s per cent. in the morning to per cent. at the close without relieving the weakness of the stock market. Ru- mors of financial difficulties could not be traced to any reliable source nor could anything be learned to justify them. Growing uneasiness was ex- pressed over the requirements of the money market for the coming crop and doubt whether there would be any considerable renux on funds to New York previous to the crop movement.
