LEYLAND LINE STEAMER ASSYRIAN
WRECKED DURING A FOG.
Bottom of Her Two Forward Holds
Torn Out-Crew Landed on the
Cliffs with Difficulty.

ST. JOHNS, y. F., June 6.-The Leyland
steamer Assyrian. from Antwerp for Mon
treal, with 1000 tons of cargo, went ashore
off Cape Race at midnight She has eleven
feet of water in her forehold. Her crew
had great difficulty in escaping and reach
ing shore. She was running full speed
through the fog when she struck Cape
Race, and she now lies an almost hulk on
the coast. For three days Captain Dingle
had been navigating by the log, and he had
calculated upon course rounding Cape
Race thirty miles south of land This plan,
however, was frustrated by northerly cur
rents.
The Assyran struck at 40 last night.
Land had been sighted only minute be-
fore. The fog was dense and there was no
time TO reduce speed. She struck the face
of the cliff and was forced upon the out
lying rocks. The impact tore out the bottom
oil the two forward holds. She heeled over
to the starboard when her side glanced
against the cliff. The crew at first were
panic-stricken, but after time compare
tive calm was restored; and all precautions
were taken TO secure the safety of all on
board. When the extent OF her injuries
badly damaged, but would outlast any
weather except a severe storm. The arrival
of daylight enabled Captain Dingle to land
the mate, who climbed the cliffs, proceeded

news of the disaster.
At late hour tonight ii is not known
what steps will be necessary TO retioat the
Assyrian, should that be possible Three
steamers and three divers are now on the
way 10 the wreck, ready TO begin opera
tions tomorrow. The Allan liner Siberia
from Philadelphia, will pass Cape Race to-
morrow morning and will be signaled to
render assistance.

Loaned Money to Princess Amalia

BERLIN. June Ga sensational case be-
gan to-day in the First District Court of
Berlin The plaintiff. Anna Milewski. was
formerly lady-in- waiting upon the de-
ceased Princess Amalia of Schleswig Hol-
stein, and the defendant is the brother Of
Empress Augusta Victoria. Duke Ernest

cess Amalia received only 1900 marks an
nually from the defendant who is the head
of the house. She also asserts that. as she
had a fortune of her own, amounting To
$1,000 marks, she made loans to the prin-
cess, who. being in the last stages of con-
sumption, was at the time proceeding slow
ly TO Egypt. While the princess was in
Malta, according to the plaintiffs state
ment, she engaged as her chamberlain an
American named Walker. who, perhaps.
unaware of the financial resources of the
princess, induced her TO incur large ex-
penses. Finally the plaintiff. who feared
the loss OF her entire fortune, made the
princess, with whom she had now arrived
at Cairo, restore to her the sum of 10000
francs.
The plaintiff now declares that. at the in
stigation of Duke Ernst Guenther. the
adjutant of Prince Joachim of Prussia
caused the Egyptian police to arrest her
in the street, after which she was forcibly
and inhumanly transported back TO Prus-
STA, where she became very Ill Mean

In the very first sentence of his editorial

The fact, of course. is just the reverse.

the Supreme Court rebuked President Nc
Kinley for attempting TO make laws TOR

while the Supreme Court upheld the power
of Congress to lay duty on goods going
from Porto Rico 10 the United States.
eight of the nine justices declared that the
Constitution limited even Congress as TO

that "the principles of the Constitution

of the island.
