A Steamer Wreck In a

Forty Lives Are Believed to Have
Been Lost.

Eureka; Cal, Jan. 3.--The Steamer
Walla Walla was sunk early this
morning as the result of collision
with an unknown iron sailing vessel.
News OF the disaster was brought to
Trinidad by q boat from the founder
ed vessel, and later the Steamer Dis
patch arrived with 60 of the crew and
passengers of the wrecked vessel. The
Walla Walla left San Francisco Jan.

here that 40 lives We're lost. The col
llsion occurred at Verlock In the morn
ing when all the passengers were
asleep. Some of the people on the
steamer escaped in small boats and on
RATS. They were unable to land ow-
ing to the character Of the coast and
drifted about all day yesterday when
they were picked up by the Steamer
Dispatch. One boat with seven people
arrived at Trinidad 20 miles north
of here.
Tugs have been sent from here Il

To Sell to Bell Tele-
phone People.
Where Everett : Moore
Troubles Began.
Bell Company Declared War at
That Minute.

The claim was made in Cleveland
Friday. and The Commercial Bulletin
printed that information, that the
American Bell Telephone Co. is respon-
sible for the difficulties Of the Everett
Moore syndicate.
When the syndicate first entered the
telephone field, 1t was with view to
building up an immense system, which
should be wholly Independent of the
Beli control, says the Bulletin. Con-
tracts for long distance service were
made with the distinct understanding
that the syndicate was never to sell
out to the opposition, and in number
of cities franchises were granted up
on this basis.
In its traction propositions 1t has
been the practice of the syndicate to
finance its propositions before these
were completed, but unfortunately ir
the building of the independent teie
phone systems, this policy was mo-
followed out AS carefully, by reasor
Of tie fact that the telephone properties
yield quicker returns, it was though
that the debts could be taken care o.
very largely out of the earnings.
Recently the Federal Telephone Co
undertook to dispose Of large blocks o
its securities with eastern bankers AT
had been successfully accomplished
with traction securities. 1t was found
however, that there was an underlying
opposition among eastern fianciers, tn
true meaning of which finally became
apparent short time ago, when tn
American Bell Company made prop
osition amounting almost to deman'
+ that the Federal company sell out IT
interests 1t is stated that the Bel
people offered to permit the syndicat
to remain nominslly In ownership o
the telephone properties; the bell com

ties of the Federal company Mt pro;
table figure, besides giving the head
of the syndicate cool million for with
drawing from the field.
With determination to carry ou
its agreements with the Independent
companies and the public in general
the syndicate refused to accept an
proposition, which would tend TO crir
pie the independent situation. The re
suit of the refusal was the declarato
OF warfare by the Bell company an
the refusal of eastern bond buyers
take the independent securities,
The run on the Federal Co.'s stoc
was then inaugurated.

The cast of war has again been emphasized by
the recently published statistics of the Pension
Office at Washington. According to the report is
sued by the department. the pension list has reached
mark in the history of the country there
being about one million names on the list-to be
exact, there July LIST 999, 446 recipients of
government bounty for martial services. Notwith-
standing the fact that Civil War veterans have been
dying at the rate of 10000 year since 1899, the
number of pensioners has increased from 991 $40 to
the figures above quoted during that period. AS
all those who injured incapacitated during
the Spanish War have not yet filed applications for
pensions it is safe to say that the roll will be greater
la year hence than it is now
Where is it going to end? No sane person can
believe that all those who receive pensions from the
government are entitled to them. In fact, if the
correct figures could be made public, even the most
pessmistic would probably be astonished It seems
to be basic principle with people to consider
the government or large corporation fair game to
loot Men who are scrupulously honorable in bust
ness dealings with their fellows have no hestancy in
eludng the taxgatherer or in beating railroad out
of fve-mle ride. Perhaps it is because the value
received in dealing with the government is some
what intangible, tho the cannot be said of the
ride the cars. At any rate, it is common prac-
tice and one that is apparently beyond the reach Of
legislation. And the very fact that it cannot be
cared by law leads to doubt the much exploited
inherent honesty of manknd-it leads one to believe
that honesty is often practiced because it is good
policy and not for the principle of the thing. In
fact there are times when one marves, not at the
number of in prison, but at the number who
escape the penalty. In the case of fraudulent
pension claims, the remedy is comparatively simple
avoid war.

The sultan of Turkey in refusing to accede to
the requests of DR.. Theodore Herzl and Dr. Wolff
son has placed damper on the first material move
toward establishing mammoth Jewish colony in
Palestine. The two delegates have returned to
Vienna from Constantinople, discouraged but not
disheartened. The sultan is said to have expressed
sympathy with the Zionist movement, but doubts
its practicability
1t is difficult for persons of an alien race, living at
great distance from Vienna to all sides of such
question the Zionist movement but almost the uni
versa opinion in America is that the scheme of trans
porting all the Jews in the world to the Holy Land
and there establishing the New Jerusalem is chimer-
ical and visionary in the extreme. Experience has
proven that community cannot be forced into
prosperity; it's growth must be natural and depends
upon natural resources to be heathful and lasting
There is nothing in Palestine to induce settlers to
go there It is too far away from the markets of the
world to be successful manufacturing center and
the soil is not suitable for extensive agriculture
It would that the plan is based largely. if
not solely, on sentimentality Max Nordau, a man
whose sound judgment is open to question, and
Zangwil, dreamer of dreamers, are the two who
have done most to foster the scheme. They were
the leading spirits at the London convention and
have consistently supported the plan ever since
There many Jews, of course who are very favor
ably disposed toward the Zionist movement but
there quite many VINO will have nothing to do
with it, the more practical and successful in the
business world being among the latter class. And
indeed it does absurd to transport people who
are doing we'll in America and who are quite satisfied
with their surroundings to such barren country as
Palestine where they must commence life all over
again under new conditions. And on the other hand
what ground is there for the belief that such Jews
as have been unable to earn a livelihood in other
parts Of the world would be successful in Palestine?
Perhaps, however, this does not enter into the
question at all The Zionist movement is not settled
yet and it's progress will be matter Of interest to
Gentiles as we'll as Jews

Some Of the large cities will
fetch up in the poorhouse one Of
these days if they don't import a
few honest men to administer their
affairs. The conditions of corrup-
ton that have been disclosed in ST..
Louis during the past few months
are appalling. Aldermen and
other high officials of the city have,
been found guilty of so manipu-
lating franchises and other affairs
of the city as to pocket as high as,
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
in single deal. According to the
grand jury's report a number Of.
these men were illiterate and lack
ing in ordinary intelligence. "In
some no traces of mentality and
morality could be found" says the
jury. Unqualified to respond to-
the ordinary requirements of life,
they are utterly incapable of COM
pretending the significance of an
ordinance and are incapacitated by
nature and training to be makers
of law" Why are such men given
Offices?
An article on ''The Building Of
the Constitution" in recent issue
of The MIRROR carried my
thoughts back to the history of the
Liberty Bell. It is doubtful if any
other inanimate object in America
is esteemed with as much rever-
I1ence as this bell. The flag is
respected and esteemed, and it
symbolizes the bell, which is
revered.
The original bell was brought
from London in 1852 and on reach
ing Philadelphia it was found to
be cracked. The bell was recast
in Philadelphia in 1853 and placed
in position there in June of that
year. On Monday, the 9th of July
(not the 4th), at noon, it rang out
the memorable message of Liberty
throughout tie land and to all the
Inhabitants thereof" For fifty
years the bell continued to be rung
on every festival and anniversary
until it eventually cracked. It
was removed from it's position in
the tower to a lower story, and
only used on occasions of public
sorrow, such as the death of ex-
presidents and statesmen. In 1873
it was suspended in a prominent
position Immediately beneath
where a larger bell presented to
the city of Philadelphia in 1866
now proclaims the passing hour.
On it's journey to and from the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1898,
the Atlanta Exposition in 1895 and
Charleston last winter, the original
bell was guarded by a number of
heavily armed policemen who also
kept faithful watch over it night
and day during its sojourn in
these cities. It's Homecoming
from each of these fairs was the
occasion for great demonstrations
in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is
great city and possesses some
great and grand institutions. It
has one of the finest public parks
