BODIES DRIFT WITH TIDE.
Victims Of Rio Wreck Bufieted
About BY Angry Waves at
Golden Gate.

A San Francisco special says: Rain
and fog hung like q pail over the ocean
and during Friday night rainstorm
Of unusual proportions visited the
vicinity making the work Of searchers
for the Rios dead very difficult.
Bodies were frequently seen floating
in and out of the harbor, but the
roughness Of the water partly hinder
ed the work of recovery, It is pos
sible that some Of the survivors may
have been washed up on the shore at
obscure points.
Some fishermen early Friday morn
ing found a packet containing the pa
pers OF Purser Rooney. Among them
was the passenger list and a bunch Of
cancelled passenger tickets and as
there were names on the list whose
cancelled passenger tickets did not APP
pear among those recovered, it is
assumed that they laid over either at
Yokohama, Kobe or Honolulu. That
they were not on the vessel at the time
she went down is certain.
Up to late hour Friday night only
eleven bodies had been recovered, six
whites, four Chinese and one Japan
csc.
Surveyor Of the Port Spear has es-
tablished a patrol along the ocean near
Bakers Beach and along bay shore in
side Fort Point. Thus far his men
have picked up four mail bags, one of
them washing near Bakers and the
others near the Fort Point life saving
stations. The surveyor has given or
ders that all the fishing boats must
report at the customs office.
All bodies brought in by them and
all wreckage and hoatsam picked up
by fishermen must be accounted for
to the officials at the barge Office. In
this way it is thought that the looting
of mail bags and trunks may be stop
ped. Among other effects picked up
by fishermen was the box containing
Captain Wards papers. The police
have established patrol outside the
beach south of Fort Winfield Scott.
The value of the cargo of the Rio de
Janeiro has not been determined,
owing to the absence of important pa
pers, but it is variously estimated at
from $500, 900 to 100000. Among
some papers found floating near the
scene of the disaster was a copy of the
manifest, showing all the consignees
with the exception of the Chinese
firms. The cargo consisted principally
of silk, tea, rice and other oriental
products. There was no treasure
aboard as was at first reported.
OF the 200 sacks of mail carried by
the Rio de Janeiro only twelve have so
far come to the surface.
The wreck of the Rio, which for
while hung on a pinnacle of the rock
where she struck in the Golden Gate,
so that parts of the upper works were
visible, has slid off into deep water
and is now entirely out of sight
Pilot Captain Jordan has been a
master mariner on the Pacific coast
for over twenty years and declares the
loss of the steamer could not have
been foreseen. According to his story,
the vessel drifted half a mile broad
side in the fog that enveloped the
home bound steamer like a pail and
no man could have judged either the
direction or the velocity of the invisi-
BILE current that changed her course
and sent her on the Port Point rock.

LIST OF CONCESSIONS
To Be Demanded of The CubanS
By the United States.
COMMITTEE DISCUSSES MATTER
Naval Stations, Control of For
eign Affairs, Sanitation and
Ante War Debt Are Items.

A Washington special says: The
senate committee on relations with
Cuba met Saturday to consider a pro-
posed amendment the army appro-
priation bill providing for the dispo-
sition Of Cuban affairs. The propo-
sition was prepared by the Republican
members of the committee and is said
to be satisfactory to most of them.
The proposed amendment recites
the so-called Teller amendment to the
Spanish war resolution and then gives
the president authority to withdraw
troops from Cuba when, in his judg-
ment, the provisions of the Teller
amendment are realized.
The prositions embodied in the pro-
posed amendment include the follow
ing points:
That the United States shall have
supervision of all treaties with foreign
countries made by the republic Of
Cuba.
That Cuba shall not undertake to
pay the debt incurred by Spain in the
war with Cuba prior to or after the
Intervention of the United States.
That Cuba shall agree either to lease
or to sell to the United States such
coaling or naval stations as in the
opinion of the president Of the United
States may be necessary to the protec-
ton Of the interests of this country.
That the United States shall have
sufficient supervision of the laws of
Cuba relating to sanitation to protect
this country from epidemics liable to
originate there.
The idea is that these provisions
shall be included in a treaty to be
made with Cuba, but that they need
not be a part of the constitution. 1t
is understood that the draft of the
amendment containing these provis-
ions was submitted to the president
and the secretary of war, and that they
expressed themselves as being in fav-
or of their wording.
The minority members of the COM
tee expressed themselves willing to
come to an understanding upon these
general lines. Indeed, some of the
most important suggestions we're made
by the minority, Senator Butler. of
North Carolina, being one of the fore
most movers in the matter. They in
sist, however, upon many verbal
amendments, thus evincing a determi-
nation to aid in giving form to the
provision as we'll as suggesting its gen.
eral tenor.
When the committee adjourned there
were still important differences to be
reconciled, and the members separated
with the understanding that another
meeting would be held on Monday.
Members on both sides of the COM
mittee expressed the hope that an
agreement would be reached, but all
said that the proceedings had not gone
far enough to render it certain that
the result would be attained.
One prominent point to which the
committee is giving special attention,
although that point may not be en-
phasized OF even mentioned in the
proposed amendment, is the relation
of Cuba to the Isle of Pines. There
is some disposition among the Cubans
to hold on to that island so near their
shores, while there is apparently no
disposition on the part of the United
States to release that possession, on
the ground that the island was &C
quired as result of the Spanish war.

What would our ancestors have
thought, for instance, of the chemists
imitation Of many common articles of
food? Our ancestors used to eat real
honey; we consume a substitute made
of glucose. corn and sulphuric acid.
Our olive oil is often cottonseed oil;
our butter and lard beef fat; our coffee

nut shell. Even the milk we drink is
sometimes under suspicion A fluid
closely resembling it can be made of
caustic soda, saleratus, salt and water.
Our forefathers Of 1901 certainly had
an advantage over us here. The chem
lists were not in league against them.
But, on the other hand, we are vastly
more in debt to the chemist than our
ancestors for the remedies which bring
hope to the sickroom. The modern
pharmacopoeia is a monument to his
industry and ingenuity. Physicians of
a hundred years ago would marvel at

Gifts and requests for public pur-
poses are an item of increasing value
in the account of American progress.
During last year they aggregated
$62 ,461, 3O4, of which nearly $35,OOO,OOO,
OF considerably more than one-half,
went to universities, colleges and other
educational institutions. Of the re-
naming $27,OOO,000 a little more thana
half went to charities, while nearly
100000 went to churches. The re-
mainder of $5,OOO,OOO was divided
about evenly among museums, art gal
leries and libraries. Andrew Carnegie
was the largest public giver of the
year, his benefactions footing up
$4,225,000, of which all but $6250OO
went to Pitsburghs institute and il
brary. The next largest public bene-
factors were Samuel Cupples and R. A.
Brookings of st. LOUIS, who gave
100000 to Washington university.
But the list Of these public givers Ct
millions includes less than 20 names,
and is quite short when the number of
our multi-millionaires is considered.

THE PRESENT SITUATION.

The present situation of the diff
ferent offices Is precarious. The
books In the collectors Office were
all burned. Back tax books except
the consolidated real estate tax
book are all lost. Deputy county
clerk Morg White had the above
named book at his home to CON-
pare with the present year, and
hence saved that book. The con-
solidated back tax book of person.
al property was lost. The Collec-
tors Office had no safe.
The county clerks Office contain
the school fund bonds, notes, etc.,
these were kept In safe, but the
door of the safe came open and all
the contents burned
In the Recorders office two safes
were I'LL with records which are
thought to be safe. But about 90
record books were burned that
were not in the safes. These con-
tanned late records and the loss Is
very great.
The Treasurer had made his de
posit with the depositary bank In
this city the day before the fire,
and should the books in the treas
urcr's safe be destroyed the loss
will not be so great as in the other
Offices.
The Probate court records in the
upper story were all lost. It is es-
timated that over 1000 final settle
ments were made there and about
20 cases were pending. 1t will take
n generation or two to get over the
litigation and trouble that will oc-
cur from this loss.

HISTORICAL.

The county seat Of this county
was established at Danville about
the year Of 1882 or 3. At that time
there were one or tive stores there
and hotel. A brick court house
was built soon after which did SER
wee up to about 1852 when 1t was
condemned. In 1884 II was torn
down and d. r Knox bought the
brick and built him a dwelling
house. which IL now owned by Jno.
T. Burton.
From 1862 till 1867 when the
court house, just burned was built,
the courts occupied various rooms
In Danville. In 1862, the circuit
and county courts were held In a
brick building on main street, east
of the court house, at that time
known as the " atkins and Drury
store, owned by the John Powell
estate. In that house all the county
records were kept, and so used up
to the time OF Bill Anderson's raid
on the night Of Oct. IA, 1884, which
most OF the old residents well re-
member.
On the second floor of the Wat
kins 4 Drury building, and right
over the public records were the
law Offices and libraries Of A. O.
Sanders, Lovelace 4 Sharp, and
l.. A. Thompson, all Of which was
totally consumed. OF those law
ycrs, l.. A. Thompson of this city
In the only survivor.
However, 1t appears that from
early in the spring Of 1851 up to
early In 1852, the county courts,
having probate jurisdiction, were
held in the Capt. John Baker store
house, which stood on the north
east corner of the block, immedi-
ately In front OF the court house
block. This building was one
story frame.
In the Anderson raid the follow
ing citizens were killed III. l.. Diggs,
NJ. A. Gilbert, DR.. .Sam'l Moore, Mcr-
rill S. Simons and Ira Chinn. Ben
Palmer was wounded but recover
ed and died only recently at Eure-
ka Springs, Ark, where he had
moved to make his future home.
Just after Anderson's raid in
Oct. 1854, the fall terms of court
were held in the front room of the
old Nunnelly house west OF the
court house on main street, now
occupied by Isham McMahan. The
clerks offices being held In the
Tom Johnson house now owned by
John Britt. Soon after this the
county court was held in the old
log jail, in the second story. After
this the permanent quarters for the
courts were in the old prick church
now owned by the colored Metho-
dist church. Here they were kept
till the new court house was built
in 1857, which cost S27,750. This
was the house that burned last
Friday night.
