NO HOPE Of Q[}(U[
Terrible Disaster Threatens .
French Steamer.
ALL ON BOARD MAY Be DROWNED
Mailboat Russie, With Fifty Passengers and
Crew Of Forty, Stranded Near Mar.
ceiIlese Cannot Be Reached.

Marseilles. Jan. 10.-A terrible
disaster threatens the mail steamer
Russie, from Oran, which stranded
yesterday upon the coast near the viii
lage of Faraman, during a violent
storm. with so passengers and crew
of 40 ON board. She heeled to the
starboard and the waves are sweeping
over her. Desperate attempts to res.
cue her company by lifeboats and
steam tugs were made yesterday and
have been repeated today, but thus far
the rough seas have prevented every
effort to approach her. The wind is
still blowing hurricane, with no
signs of abatement.
A great crowd is assembled along
the shores excitedly watching the en-
beavers to communicate with those on
board the ship, which is humping
heavily % the seas break over her.
Rockets have been fred. but each time
the line falls short.
Rear. Admiral Besson, naval project
of Marseilles, has telegraphed to lou.
lon for the dispatch of the powerful
tug Trava,lleur Immediately to the
scene.
As darkness fell the authorities were
assem- bled on the shore and the life
boats were lying off, awaiting the first
opportunity to effect rescue. hut the
latest dispatches from the lighthouse
keeper at Faraman describe the posi-
ton OF the ship as hopeless. 1t Is pro.
bable that the vessel and all on board
will perish. Up to midnight no assist
ance had reached the vessel.
The vessel seems to have stranded
amid shifting sands, into which she is
gradually sinking. Some years ago
the Alix was lost with all hands near
the same spot. The frequency of dis
asters near Faraman is due to confus-
ion of lighthouses. The Planter and
Faraman lights are in position al
most identical and in foggy weather
it IS next to impossible to distinguish
one from the other until the doomed
vessel is aground.
The captain OF the Russie is one OF
the oldest at the port OF MarseiIles,
and has made the voyage 10 Oran Tor
many years.

DECLINE TO SIGN.
Chinese ENJOYS May Not Agree to In
Powers Demands.


Pekin, Jan. 9.-This afternoon agree.
ments identical for each nation were
presented to Prince Ching. Those
close to Prince Ching and LII Hung
Chang say that they have declined to
sign, even ii they lose their heads,
without regard to the latest orders Of
the court. Others say that they will
not sign it, and that it would be i'm.
polite for the Chinese plenipotentiar.
les at present to act for themselves.
The report that this Chinese court has
instructed the Chinese ENJOYS to sign
the joint note is confirmed. The court
referred to the objections of the south.
ern viceioys. Prince Ching informed
the court that it was too late. and q
reply from the court is expected
shortly.
Count Won Waldersee says that
China's request. through her represen.
tatives at foreign courts, that the ex.
petitions cease, cannot be complied
with at present. No expeditions, he
asserts, are sent out without adequate
cause. Where there are scenes of
bloodshed or disorder, the troops are
sent to it. this being the only means Of
preventing outrages. He declares
that the expeditions are not intended
for punitive purposes. but merely for
police purposes. with view OF giving
the necessary protection to life and
property.
