SEVEN DROWNED.
Oceanic Sinks a COasting Steam
er in Irish Channel.

Queenstown, Aug. 8-The White Star
line steamer Oceanic, Captain Cameron,
which sailed from Liverpool yesterday
here this morning and reported having
channel with the steamer Kinkora of
Waterford, Ireland. The Kinkora sank.
Seven LersOnS were drowned.
The KinkOra was a steel screw
steamer of 453 tons. She belonged to
the Waterford Steamship company.
The collision occurred in a fog. The
bow of the Oceanic was damaged The
Kinkora, was a coaSting vessel trading
between Waterford and Limerick. She
had a crew of IA men. The Oceanic
brought seven survivors to this port.
Later details of the collision was OBJ
tanned and it was then learned that the
only damage sustained by the Oceanic
consisted in a few dents to her port
plates. She proceeded at $3.50 p. m.
The collision occurred this side of
Tuskar at about 1870 in the morning
The fog was very dense The Kinkora
was struck amidships. All the passen-
gers of the Oceanic were in bed at the
time and there was some confusion
until the captain assured them there
was not the least cause for alarm
Headway was kept on the Oceanic after
she struck the Kinkora in order to give
the crew of the latter a chance to clam
Der on board the Oceanic. The boats
of the White Star liner were lowered to
rescue every man possible. The Kin
kora sank very rapidly. The Oceanic
remained in the vicinity of the collision
until daylight, but nothing was then
visible beyond some floating wreckage.

Atlantic excursion train collided near
Confluence, Pa. "a miles east of Pitts
burg this morning.
Ten persons were seriously injured
and a number of others slightly hurt.

The trains left shortly after o'clock
this morning. --
At Confluence the first section was
stopped and the second rounding the
curve, going at the rate of 35 miles,
crashed into it. The engine of the Sec
end section and three cars were wreck
ed and traffic was delayed several
hours. The injured named were re-
moved to the hospital and the others
continued on their way to Atlantic City.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by a mistake in signals.
A Connellsville- dispatch says there
were three big sections of the express.
AS the third section neared Confluence,
the engineer suddenly saw looming up
before him on the same track the rear
end of the second section.
1t was then too late to avoid the dis
aster and the engineer and fireman of
the third section jumped. The third
section crashed into the Pullman car
of the rear of the second section tele-
scoping it. The people in the car were
mingled with the debris and many were
seriously hurt, the total list numbering
about ten. Messages were Immediate
ly sent to Connellsville and a special
train of three passenger coaches was
made up and hurried to the scene. On
board were three physicians. The in
jured were brought to this city With
the exception of the fireman, all it is
thought will recover.

BurtOnites mink the Tracy Fight Is
Over

Since B. H Tracy received a dis
patch personally from Senator Burton
giving assurance that the charges filed
against him in Washington had been
given a quietus and that his commits

time being made over Tracy, a fight for
Sterne's removal was risky.
1t is being told on State Treasurer
Frank Grimes that after his denial of
the interview which made him say that
Cy Leland was back of the Tracy fight
he rounded up Charlie Lobdell and pro-
ceeded to admOnish the judge-to-be of
the Thirty-third district in this fashion:
when I was talking to you on the
train about Leland being at the head
of the fight on Tracy, I didn't expect
you to tell a reporter about it, but I
see you have I thought I was talking
to you contidentially."
Yes" said LobdeI, II did tell the
Journal reporter what you said but
didn't think that you ever talked con-
fidentially"

they are working in other union mills.
They were avav behind with their
work when the Farm mill was started.
Guards patroled every entrance to
the mill and il was next to impossible
for a stranger to gain admission to the
mills while the preparations for start
ing We're being made. The mill that
was put in operation was a finishing
mill and manufactures half inch steel
hoops. 1t was one of three finishing
mills in the Lindsay and McCutcheon
esta blishment- There is another mill in
the works which turns out billetS, but
neither it nor the two of the finishing
mills We're started this morning. 1t is
reported that an attempt will be made
to start these just as soon as men can
be secured.
Few of the strike breakers were taken
into the mill until almost time for the
starting whistle to blow and every
thing was as quiet as a cemetery until
that time except for the noise of a few
laborers working on repairs. 1t re
quired the finding of only 20 mill men
TO start the Farm mill for all the labor
ers needed were easily obtainable.
Little CT no excitement prevailed in
the neighbOrhoOd because practically
none of the strikers from the Nc
Cutcheon mills was at home. A watch
man said early this morning, however,
that there would probably be a large
crowd along the railway in the mill
yards today watching the operations
and he predicted that there might be

claimed by the company that this
makes the total number of men in the
mill 463 and leaves but one mill idle.
It is said the 9, 10, u and 20.inch mill is
now working full turn. All the men
employed are non-union- BY Monday
morning the management claim the
inch mill will be running and the plant
will be in full operation But few strik-
ers were seen about the place and ev-

Captain Louis Brown, of the mill
said that the report concerning the men
stopping in the mill was unfounded
He said they left when their work was
completed and returned in time for
the turn and that the strikers were
not molesting them He said further
that the work turned out by the men
yesterday was up to the standard and

RESERVES.
HOmeseekers Who Lost Start a
Petition to Washington.

Lawton, Ok. Aug. s.-A movement
has been started here among the home
seekers who lost, to have the govern
ment open up the three reserves in the
land lottery which is set aside in the
Lawton district before the opening. At
a meeting Of 100 or more of them IL
was decided to petition the interior de-
partment at once to take such action.
These reserves embrace 532, 500 acres, or
about $500 quarter sections. The land
was held in resrVe, it is believed be-
cause the government anticipated that
the cattlemen who had all of the
Kiowa- -Comanche country leased for
pastures would not be able to find pas
lures In Texas OF other cattle grazing
sections readily. If the cattlemen can
round up their cattle and get them to
the government reservations this fall
the homeseekers argue, they can find
pastures somewhere else by next spring.
The homeseekers are willing to buy the
land outright from the government.
