Another Ocean Disaster.

The sinking Of the Pacific Mail steam.
er City Of Rio De- Janeir0 after gtrikipp
a rock IN the Golden Gate, durlng the
dense fog, Friday morning, was the most
appalling disaster the Pacific coast has
known for many years. The number II
lives lost may MEYER be known exactly
owing to the fact that the ships record +.
were lost and is practically impossible t.
tell just how many Chinese were In the
! steersge.
The San Francisco Call Saturday, bas
ing lis figures on statements Of tn
Pacific Mail Steamship officials, saw
that l22 persons perished, the Chronicle
gives the number AT 123, aud thes,'Ex.i III.

I'VE have warned our captains never o.

erroneous To think that when a pilot

me statements made to me by Pilot
Jordan indicate that there was fog

that undue haste was shown BY the CAP,

so much haste shown, considering the
vessel lay outside all night. Capt. Ward

La response to further questions Mr.

there was the slightest chance of raising

The Pacific Mail company's officials
state that the pilot WAS subject to the
orders of Captain Ward, who went
down with the vessel. Pilot Captain
Jordan has been master mariner Oh

came here from the Atlantic coast. He
declares the loss of the steamer could
not be foreseen. According TO hi,

st. Louis Glohe-Democrat The
total of Americas exports keeps on
growing. The reason for this is that
America makes better goods than the
rest Of the world, makes them cheaper
and can usually fill orders quicker.
This condition of things is of the highest
sort of consequence, and it is caused by
several Observation-Disclosures Of
raw material. low rate for the use Of
money, and superiority in inventiveness
and manual skill. With these advan-
tages on the side OF the United States
1t would seem that the future is bright.
Advances, however, will continue to be
made. Constant improvement is the
price of success In business as 10 every
