The passengers took refuge in the first

The passengers took refuge in the first
cabin and the smoking room.
Tuesday morning a violent wave burst
In the door of the saloon. The passengers,
who were stricken with panic, rushed on
deck. We reassured them and barr1caded
the doorway with mattresses All day We
were obliged helplessly TO watch attempts
to reach US with rockets and lifeboats from
the shore and by tugs.
I'VE passed the night in state or the
deepest anguish. The waves increased IN
fury and dashed over the vessel. which
was humping on her starboard side, until
in the early morning the plates gave way
and the stern of the vessel went to pieces
The utmost CONSERVATION now prevailed
among the passengers. who fled 10 the
forecastle deck amidships and the foredeck
clinging to the rails and stanchions. When
night fell without relief and with the Wild
tempest still raging. the scene on board
was frightful. Again we witnessed all day
long desperate efforts TO rescue us. Ihe
passengers seemed heartbroken, the women
weeping conyulsively.
Thursday morning the cruiser Galilee
hove in sight. Hope revived as she was
seen approaching with engines reversed
The water was too shallow and .--e waves
threatened to engulf her. She made for the
open sea and the passengers were again
plunged into tbs deepest despair. Our pro-
visions Were now almost exhausted. We
had only a few biscuits and tins of pre-
serves. with wine and some artichokes ana
oranges, portion of the cargo in the
forehold. We passed an atrocious night
but were rescued this morning. Ali the
cargo was lost and only a part of the mail
and the passengers baggage was saved.
The accident was due 10 mistaking the
Faraman light for the Planier light,
mistake which has caused the loss and
wreck of more than twenty steamers and
given the coast the name of the mariners
graveyard.

single day, he declared, I believe 1t would
be the unanimous sentiment that there
should be some fexibility in the army.
Replying to Mr.. Piatt, Mr. Bacon said he
thought the country had fallen upon an
evil day when senator could rise in this
chamber and express views which he re-
garded as dangerous to the liberties Of the
people and productive of one-man power,
and IL was an evil day truly when the
senator reflected the attitude of the domi-
nant party. 1.-The passage of this BILL"
declared the Georgia senator, will mark
an epoch in the United States. Senator'S
may scoff, but it is nevertheless true that
the passage Of bill by which the Presi-
dent shall control the size of the army is
a march toward empire. 1t is the evident
purpose OF the bill TO eliminate for all time
the volunteer system from the military es-
tabishment OF the country and create for
all time a great standing army. The issue
is not to be evaded. Shall it be in the fu-
ture the province o. the President to raise
armies or shall that be the province of
Congress? / woulc rather see the party
belong TO condemned to universal and
never-ending Punishment from political
power than to see such an authorization
of power placed upon the statute books"
Mr.. Hoar expressed the opinion that an
army of 100000 at present would not make
the executive more formidable than he
was made by an army of 25.00O when that
limit was fixed He did not regard an army
of 100000 as a menace. as that number in
his judgment, was far within the limit of
domestic safety to liberty. The bill, in ad-
dition, authorized the President TO reduce
the number of the army still lower but on
account of the use to be made of that army
he would have to vote against the bill. The
army bill was then laid aside and the
House apportionment bill passed without
objection. The Senate then, at 5:25 p. M.
went into executive session and five min
utes later adjourned.

Prince Chun mt PekinE.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The Daily Chronicle
makes the following important statement:
"From a trustworthy source we learn that
Lord Salisbury has agreed to cede to Russia
the railway from Neuw-Chwang to Shan
Hai-Kwan. 1t is not known what compensa-
ton will be received for the concession =
Leading financiers versed in Chinese az
fairs who were interviewed yesterday by
q representative of the Daily Mail appeared
to think that, If the news were correct. it
indicated that Lord Salisbury recognized
the impossibility of preventing the partition
of China. and that Russia would get the
north and Great Britain the Yange-Tse
valley The original prospectus of the rail-
way company stipulated that the bondhold-
ers. mainly British, could be bought out at
any time at the rate of s120 per f100 bond.
The Daily Chronicle, in an editorial on the
subject, taunts Lord Salisbury with having
made another graceful concession be-
cause Great Britain's entanglements de-
rrive her of the strength to back up her
diplomacy.
Prince Uchtomsky's mission TO Peking,
says the St Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Mall, was TO secure a eonven-
ton, I understand, on the following basis:
IN return for renouncing her claim for war
indemnity Russia demands an indefinite
instead of a ninety-year lease of Liao-Tung
peninsula and of Port Arthur. In other
words, she demands annexation, as well as
the complete possession OF the Manchurian
Railway, which, under the existing agree
rnent. reverts TO China after ninety years. !"

DENIAL FROM NJ. DE GIERs.
He Says Russia Is Not Trying to Make
Special Treaty with China.


Special Treaty with China.
PEKING, Jan. I'm. De Giers, the Rus
sian minister to China. denies the current
report that Russia is endeavoring to make
a special agreement win China irrespective
OF the other powers. Had this been the
case" he said to-day. i would not have
signed the joint note. So far as Manchuria
IS concerned. Russia and China will make
special arrangements which will not con-
fiict with any treaties or agreements made
by Russia and the other joint powers. do
not believe that Russia has any Intention
of keeping Manchuria. Indeed. she is plac-
ing all the Chinese possible In office. Prob
ably. however. it will be necessary to guard
the railroad for indefinite period. 1 do
not believe there are $4,000 Russian SOL
diers In Manchuria."
With reference to the claim made by
some OF the other ENJOYS that Russia vio-
lated her word in taking a concession at
Tien-Tsin. M. De Gsers said: Nothing of
the kind Tien-Tsin is practically foreign
city and Russia felt the necessity of having

benefit OF her trade interests. The land
granted had been virtually unused for any
purpose and was almost worthless. Russia

SYNDICATE'S AGENT
Strongly Impressed With Advan'
tsges Offered by The Territory
And Will Make Further
Study of the Cotton
Situation Here.

"Ths great bulk Of cotton fabrics
will be manufactured IN the future
contiguous TO the section an which
the staple is grown, and che exact
locations OF the mills viii depend
largely upon the question OF cheap
power"
IL was with these words that w.
III. Dorsey, banker and business
man of Cambridge, Mass, prefaced
a prophecy on the future CONNER
cial greatness of the Indian terri
tory, between trains this morning.
Mr.. Dorsey, who is member OF
the directorate OF New England
syndicate that controls the output
of elk OF the largest eastern mills,
was returning from an inspection
OF the Beaumont oil fields in the
interest OF the syndicate.
IL Is their intention to move the
mills south IN the near future
and Mr.. Dorsey has spent several
weeks in Texas and the territory
studying conditions.
A location that has the adyant-
ages Of cheap power and cheap
cotton is what he has been looking
for, and ne does not consider the
Beaumont oil fields to contain en-
ough of certainty TO justify the
erection Of mills dependant upon
their output as fuel.
Mr.. Dorsey is strongly in favor
Of direct water power OF hydro
electric power, and thinks they are
the solution OF the power problem
He has several reports on the
Grand River aud other territory
waterways and IN his opinion they
are more valuable than the great
Texas oil fields, and he said that
il was not without the range oI
possibility that several mills would
be built at territory points, where
the Grand River power could be
utilized. In speaking Of the fu
ture prospects Of the territory as
manufacturing section, Mr.. Dorsey
said:
Il know of no section hat con
tains 50 many advantages for ths
manufacturer as this great unde
veloped territory. Rich in miner
al and producing all staple products
Of the field. with waterways Of suf-
ficient power to turn the wheels o.
inuumerable factories. il is sure io

resources are developed and con
trolIed. I expect TO see within the
