FIVE WOMEN DROWN
While Men Passengers and Crew
Escape From Burning Vessel.

Houghton. Mich, May 1.-THE pas
senger steamer BonvOyage caught fire
in Lake Superior last night and was
beached near the portage ship canal. A
telephone message from Red Ridge, the
village nearest the spot where the
steamer was put on the shore says that
hye passengers, all women We're drown
ed in getting from the boat to the shore
The rest of the passengers. all men, and
the crew, escaped in safety to the beach
The persons drowned are five mem
bers of the Altaman family of Laurium.
They included the grandmother, mother
and the latter's three daughters. One
daughter was rescued.
The burning steamer was first sighted
about 9 o'clock. She was then several
miles out from the shore and was head
ed for the beach The steamer was
burning fiercely, but was apparently in
control Of the crew. The steamer struck
the bottom nearly a mile from land ow
ing to the shoa1 water. Observers from
a distance failed to see the life boats
lowered but they must have been used
to aid to the passengers and crew who

Clash Arises Over a Question Of
Precedence.
OF M'KINLEY.
Nash and His Party Thrust
Into the Background.
Have a Quarrel Also With the
Congressional Delegation.
Same Town Cannot Hold the
Entire Aggregation.

Del Monte, Cal, May 1.-THE Ohio
people who are on their way to San
Francisco to see the launching OF the
battleship Ohio are not having the lovely
time they anticipated. The Ohio con-
gressmen and Governor Nash's party
have clashed over a question Of prece-
dence and harmony is wanting. The
people of California have been very cor
dial in their reception of the Ohio party,
but naturally President Mckinley has
received the most attention and Gov
ernor Nash and his party, who are tray
cling on a separate train, have been
little in the background. At Los Angeles
it was all Mckinley and the Ohio guber-
material party felt slighted
The special bearing Governor Nash
and other Ohio people arrived here be-
fore daybreak and Joined the presiden-
tial party The chagrin that the guber-
Material party expressed over its al
legged mistreatment at Los Angeles be-
came more intense during the TRIP OF
the last twenty-fOur hours and broke
out into open revolt at conferences In
the Hotel Del Monte The special cars
bearing the Ohio congressman We're at
tached to the Ohio special at Los An
geles. This seemed to add to the i'll
feeling of the governors party, who
claimed that they had been an annexed
section to the presidential party and
now were given third place The con-
gressmen seemed equally dissatisfied
with the new arrangement, and finally
1t was decided that the congressman
should travel hereafter as they had done
before reaching Los Angeles. The cars
Of the congressman were accordingly
taken out Of the Ohio special here and
they left for San Francisco at noon,
while Governor Nash and party left at
2 %. m for San FIR ncisco. Then Colonel
J. D. Ellis and Willis G. Bowland, who
have charge of all arrangements for
Governor Nash and the Ohio special,
met a committee from San Jose and no
titled Chairman Minor that they would
not visit San Jose as an annex Of any
other party. 1t was then decided that
the Ohio special would go from san
Francisco to San Jose Sunday night. II
was also specified that the Ohio special
would leave San Jose before the presi-
Dental train arrived.
This unpleasant controversy started at
Los Angeles. The Ohio special was
scheduled to leave Los Angeles on
Thursday night. but the local committee
would not let it precede the presidents
train and the time was accordingly
changed and it left Los Angeles at 10
a. m. Friday instead of 10 p. m. Thurs
day This caused indignation. AS the
two trains have different routes on re-
turning from San Francisco there would
be more trouble with railway schedules
and receptions along the way, but the
Ohio people insist that Governor Nash
shall not be ignored hereafter as they
insist he has been during the past three

Strike of Machinists Which
Threatens to Become National.

Kansas City. Mo-. May 11.-Between
four and five hundred union machinists
and blacksmiths employed by engine
and machine manufacturers of Kansas
City struck today for a nine hour day
and an increase Of 1914 per cent in
wages. The strikers committee in
statement issued today says
'The strike is not local. on the 10th
of May if the demands of the machin-
lists are not acceded to, every union ma
chinist in the United States, Canada
and Mexico viii walk out.
THE trouble goes back to year ago,
when the international body of machin-
lists made an agreement with the Ma
tional Metal Trades association, where
by on November 20 the ten hour day
was to be cut to nine and one-half
hours and on May 20 this year to nine
hours Kansas City merely takes the
initiative; the walk-out will occur all
over the country if the National Metal
Trades association does not cOncede the
points we demand"
The strike was precipitated by a local
firm discharging four union men,
