Over 121 Persons Lose Their Lives
In the Sinking of the Steamer
Txukishima Maru.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 31.-The steam
er Rio Jun Maru brings news that the
japanese training ship Tsukishima
Maru has been lost with all hands,

She was long missing, and the war

her without avail. 1t was not until
wreckage from her, together with the
body of Capt Matsumoto, her com
mander, was washed ashore, that the
mystery of her disappearance was
cleared up. She foundered during a
typhoon at the end of November in
Surugz bay, sinking after striking
Senniwa rocks. Not one of her com
pany escaped. The steamer Inushima
Maru was lost on December s by
striking rock in Alaska bay. A man
was saved by passing steamer, but
the others were lost.
From Osaka comes news that the
bark Katokugawa Maru was lost off
Tosa province with all on board on
December o.
The bark Kamiji Maru was lost on
December 4. The crew of 16 were
picked up after being in the boats
several days without food.

money was common honesty. All the
schemes devised could not keep crimi-
nails from taking what did not belong
to them. The best banks in the coun-

afterward as they always do, but
proved little as to the carefulness of

in operation, the final safety is COM

Schemes may be invented, bonds may
be taken and efforts may be made to
bring honest results, but in the end
common honesty is depended upon for
protection and for security. 1t was the
