STEAMER RIO JANEIRO.

I sSBd UOLJ p5uUpUOO
story, Captain Ward, after consulting
with Pilot Jordan, came down from
the bridge. He. was standing on the
deck when the vessel crashed upon the
rock.
There was a cry of Man the boats, =
but it was apparent that in the midst
of the awful confusion a systematic
effort to save the passengers would be
of no avail. Everybody was scrambling
for his own safety.
It was at this time that Lindstrum
says he saw Captain Ward standing
on the forward deck. Suddenly the
captain turned, and walking hurriedIY
to his cabin, disappeared behind the
door, which he closed

Quartermaster Fred Lindstrum had
the wheel when the steamer struck, and
his narrative is interesting.
4 was on lookout said Quartermas-
ter Lindstrum, when I heard the pilot
yell and. the next instant the ship
struck. Instantly all was confusion.
Many Of the passengers had assembled
on the deck to see the harbor as the
ship passed in and the women seemed
to lose all control of themselves. They
screamed piteously and the men, crew
and passengers were apparently dazed
by the suddenness of the calamity.
My attention was claimed by the
ship, however, and I saw at once that
she was badly punctured AS soon as
she struck she began settling by the
head and in a short time Went down.
When 1 saw all hope of saving the yes

officers and crew in saving the passen-

BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.
Car Loaded With Explosives Run Into by
Freight Train.

Everett, Wash, May 29.-An acci-
dent occurred yesterday afternoon on
the Great Northern Railroad four
miles east of Skykomish which re-
suited in the serious injury of Engi-
neer John McGrouty and consider
able loss of property.
A push car loaded with 48 boxes OF
dynamite was being run to siding
when the west bound freight train,
No. .15, came along. Before the
men in charge of the push car could
reach the siding. the freight struck
the car. A terrible explosion fol-
lowed. The engine was hurled some
distance up the mountain side.
Three freight cars were demolished
and about 500 feet of track was torn
up. A steam shovel standing near
was reduced to scrap iron. McGrouty
was the only one seriously hurt. He
received a scalp wound, his tongue
was bitten through. and he also sus-
tanned injuries to his spine. A
watchman's shack, rs yards from the
explosion. was blown to atoms and
the watchman himself stunned. The
injured men were taken to the Everett
hospital.

HIS STAY AT AN END.
Presidential Party Complete Their Programme
and Start for Home.

San Francisco, May 25.-President
Mckinley has completed his program
in this city, having met every organ
ization included in the original
schedule, and Mrs McKinley's health
has SO far improved that the president
and his party began their return jour
ney to the national capital at 10 A.
M. today.
The presidents pubic functions
Yesterday included a reception at the
Scott mansion to the members of the
foreign consular corps of this city, a
reception at the Palace Hotel by the
Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution and the Loyal Legion in
honor of the president, and review
OF the school children Of Oakland by
the president.
Last night President Mckinley at
tended an impromptu reception at
the California street M. E. church,
given by the Epworth League and
Christian Endeavor societies. Special
precautions were taken to prevent any
annoyance while the president and
his wife were being drivento the ferry.
A route was chosen that secured per-
feet comfort for Mrs. Mckinley. The
party was taken to Oakland on a
special boat. The two trained nurses
who have attended the patient in this
city will also go to Washington with
her. No fast time will be made and
the train will run slowly to Stockton.

NATIVE JUDGES INCOMPETENT.
Discomfort Caused by Appointment of Ameri.
can Judges.

Manila, May 27.-The discomfort
among the natives at the appointment
of American judges and alleged dis
elimination in the civil service in
favor of Americans is finding express
sion, encouraged by some of the aa-
tive judges, who are aware that the
reorganization of the judiciary will
result in the loss of their positions.
Judge Neer, of the court of the first
instance of Tondo, one of the leaders
of what is beginning to be called the
radical wing of the Federalists, de-
clared today that if such things con-
tinue there will be second revolu-
tion. Some of the prominent Federal
lists ridicu1e the prediction. The
Philippine commissions s selections
of Judges were thoroughly considered.
1t is undeniable that most of the
native judges lack. the competence
required. One of them has been re-
moved for mal.easance, and others are
suspected of Irregularities. The
classifcations of the civil service
avoid discrimination, but the native
and Spanish qualifications are not
equal to those of capable Americans.
Some departments are employing ma
tives at the risk Of temporary incon-
venience.
After a conference with General
Macarthur, General Trias has under
taken negotiations at Luchan for the
surrender of General Cailles which is
daily expected.

MINERAL OIL EXPORTS.
View Oil Di.cov.rie. win Keep IL Ahead Of
Russia in Amount Produced.

Washington, May 29.-The recent
oil discoveries in Texas and on the
Pacific coast lend especial interest to
some facts just presented by the treas.
ury bureau of statistics regarding the
exports of mineral oils from the
United States. These show that the
expectation of the fiscal year about to
end will probably be the largest in the
history of this remarkable industry,
which has increased its exports from
204, 600, 600 gallons of Illuminating oil
in 1875, to 721, 600, 600 gallons in
1900. In the quarter century from
1876 to 1900 the value of mineral oils
exported from the United States was
about 81 200, 600, 600, an average of
about $48, ,00, coo year. During re-
cent years it has averaged about $780,
OO0, 600 per annum or $5, 900, 600 per
month.
In the mere question of gallons of
oil produced, Russia has been for
years close competitor of the United
States, though it is probable that the
recent discoveries in the United States
will enable it to continue to lead in
the number of gallons produced !;
while the fact that American oil pro-
duces nearly twice as much refined
Illuminating oil from a given guam
tity of crude as from the Russian oil,
adds greatly to its value as CONNER
cial product.
One especially interesting feat
ure of the development of the oil in
dustry is, that there has been re-
markable decrease in the price to the
consumer during the period in which
the actual expectations and the net
value of the exports have been in
creasing. The average value of the
Illuminating oil exported in 1876 was
about Is cents per gallon and in
1877, an exceptional year, 20 cents
per gallon. By 1881 the price had
fallen to about 10 cents per gallon,
the figures for that year being 1872, :
600, 600 gallons, valued at $34, 600, :
600. By 1891 the average price was
about7 cents per gallon. By 1898
the average export price had dropped
to cents per gallon, the quantity
exported having been 824, 900, ,OO0 gal
Ions, and the value reported to the
bureau of statistics by exporters
through the customs collectors, $42,-
922, 2,682.

ECLIPSE PHOTOGRAPHS.
Satisfactory Results Obtained by the Lick Party
in Sumatra.

San Jose, CAL, May 27.-The fol-
loving has been received from the di-
rector of the Lick observatory:
Lick Observatory, May 27.-As-
tronomer Perrine, in charge of the
Crocker eclipse expedition from the
Lick observatory to Sumatra, has
cabled the gratifying information
that some results were secured with
all the instruments taken with him.
This, taken in connection with his
cable of last week, is taken to mean
that his successful photographs were
secured between clouds drifting across
the vicinity of the sun. AS this was
an unusually long eclipse, it is quite
probable that his results will compare
favorably in quality and quantity
with those secured at the short
eclipses of the past three years. The
hoods of the coronal streamers, first
observed at the Indian eclipse of 1898,
are recorded on the plates Of the pres
ent eclipse. Further details of the
results secured are not expected until
the arrival of Mr.. Perrine's letters. ,;

SEVERE WIND STORM.
Caused Widespread Devastation in Five West.
ern States.

Salt Lake, May 2s.-T The wind
storm which swept over Nevada,
Utah, Southern Idaho Wyoming
end Colorado, did damage that will
run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. It resulted in almost
complete prostra tion of telegraph and
telephone service in the states affect
ed and for nearly d hours during the
height of the storm, the inter noun
tain region was practically cut of
from the rest of the world. The
storm was severest in Eastern Nevada
and Utah, and in the fertile valleys
in the northern part of Utah wide
spread devastation resulted. When
the storm was at its height, the wind
at some points reached a velocity of
SO miles an hour.
AT Ogden the storm was felt worst.
Here the wind tore roofs from num-
Der of buildings, including the Bap-
tist church, completely demolishing
barns and outbuildings, and scattered
them far and wide, uprooted many
shade trees and tore others to pieces,
blew in plate glass windows in busi-
ness blocks and prostrated electric
light wires, SO that the city was in
darkness. The damage in Ogden
will probably reach 500, 900.
At Five Points, Logan, Smithfield,
Hooper and other places the damage
was very great. Hundreds of fruit
trees were completely stripped. The
force of the wind was SO terrific
around Logan and Hooper that to-
mato vines were swept entirely from
fields. It is estimated that fully
one half of the crops were DESTROYED.
Around Hooper, the sweep of the
VIVID blew away the ploughed ground
to the full depth that the plows had
entered the earth, rendering the land
practically useless.
Along the north shore of the Great
Salt Lake the wind picked up the-dry
sand in great clouds and hurled it
across the country with terrific force,
half burying the railroad tracks for
miles.
