INVESTIGATING CAUSE WALLA
WALLA DISASTER.
FRENCH CAPTAINS Statement
He Swears That the Lights on the
Max Were Burning and That
There Was No Fog = Will
Sue for Damages.
fBy Associated Press, !,

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The official In
vestigation into the cause of the COLI
sion between the steamer Wala Walla
and the French bark Max off Cape Mem
docino on the morning of January .,
was commenced this morning In the fed
eral building before Inspectors Bolles and
bullion.
The first witness was Captain Benoist
of the Max, who submitted a written
statement to the effect that at the time
of the accident his mate, Emil Ignace,
was on watch; that there was no fog,
and that there was a fairly strong wind
from the south southeast.
About $40 a. m. the outlook reported
the lights of steamer on the starboard
bow. The mate thereupon notified him.
and he went up on deck, and seeing the
light Of Cape Mendocino and those of the
steamer the witness went into his cabin
to dress. While he was so engaged the
the collision occurred. The lights of
his vessel were burning brightly.
Too Busy to Stop.
Immediately after the Max struck the
steamer the name of which he did not
learn until he spoke the steamer Column
bia the next day, he rushed on deck, and
as the fore part OF his ship was filling
rapidly he was too busily engaged In Is
suing orders for the closing of the water
tight compartments to pay any atten-
ton to the other vessel.
He ordered a torch lighted, however,
to let the steamer know where he was.
but not seeing anything of the latter
15 minutes after the accident, he con-
cluded that she had made land, and pro-
ceeded. It had been impossible for him
to turn about and look for the steamer
on account of the damages to his own
vessel and the direction of the wind.
In conclusion he stated that he de-
sired to enter a protest against the
Walla Walla for having collided with
his ship and that he wished to reserve
all rights for damages against the au-
thor of the accident. %"
Through the medium OF an interpreter
Captain Benolst was closely interrogated
as to the position OF his ship by Cap
tain Hall OF the Wala Walla, with the
evident purpose Of proving that the Max
was off her course at the time OF the
accident, but the French master insisted
that the Max never deviated from her
course and that the Walla Walla de-
liberately attempted to cross her bows
when 1t was already too late to do so.

CHINESE EMPERoR's REFORMS.
Will Receive Foreign Ministers in
Audience,
(By Associated Press.)

Shanghai, Jan. 9.--An important edict
has been issued stating that the emperor
intends to visit the ancestral temples
and perform his neglected sacrifices. This
indicates resumption of imperial func-
tions by him.
1t is further stated that the empress
dowager will visit the various provinces
with the emperor after he performs his
sacrifices. The emperor announces his
intention hereafter to give audiences to
the foreign ministers, and commands the
foreign board to formulate rules of pro-
cedure for these occasions.
In conclusion the edict contains dec
laration by the emperor that the ex-
penditures are excessive, and that the
people have been hurdened by the ex-
travagant expenses of the imperial cor
tege. He therefore directs that plan
be arranged for effecting economies in
the future.

ENGLISH PRESS ARE INDIGNANT
AT GERMAN CHANCELLOR.
GERMANY MAY BITTERLY REGRE
Dignity Of the British Nation Requires
Abandonment Of Attitude Of
Easy Tolerance Hereto
fore Assumed.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 9.--The stinging rebuke
administered TO Mr.. Chamberlain. the
British colonial secretary. by Chancellor
Won Buelow, in the relchstag at Berlin
yesterday. for the references in Mr..
Chamberlains speech at Edinburgh on
October 25 last, to the conduct of the
German army In the war with France In
1901, has caused intense and wide
spread irritation here, and has markedly
increased the bitterness of the Anglo
German dscord
The ST. James Gazette, which calls
Count Won Buelow a staggering Phar-
isee," says:
His offensive speech has brought the
growing irritation between the two coun-
tries into dangerous sphere. and the
kaiser's telegram of six years ago was
not more disastrous to mutual good re-
lations than the studied affront on
British statesman who is trusted by the
country and through him on the country
itself. Our attitude of easy tolerance Is
no longer compatible with our dignity as
n nation. Even IL Won Buelow had been
the head OF a republican ministry de-
pendent for Its life on fickle popular
opinion, there would have been little ex-
cuse for his gross perverson OF facts and
breach of international comfy"
snub to Great Britain.
The st. James Gazette concludes with
the expression of belief that the 'Phar-
isaical impertinence of the German press
Is profoundly dstasteful to the kaiser
who is manfully striving to stem the tor
rent which Is bearing his empire toward
the Niagara of disaster" and warns
Germany that both eastward and west
ward OF her there Is menace which
holds her armed to the teeth In sleep
less vigilance, and when the expected
catastrophe in Southeastern Europe
leaves her alone between the upper and
the neither millstones she may bitterly
regret the loss of the good will of this
..ountry which she Is now flipging away
With both hands"
"Von Buelow's words cannot fall to be
hailed throughout Europe as a snnb to
Great Britain" says the Pail Mall Ga
zette in an editorial headed THE Retort
Dlscourteous.' The editorial expresses
regret that the chancellor has chosen TO
stimulate rather than soothe the anti
British spirit.
The Globe accuses Won Buelow OF de-
liberately pandering to the lowest and
most ill-informed elements of public
opinion In Germany" adding: ut Is in
conceivable that the chancellor spoke
thus without the approval of the kaiser"
The Globe then lectures Emperor Will
liam for mot checking the stream of foul
lies and obscene carlcatures in the Ger
man press" Referring to the forthcoIn-
ing visit OF the Prince of Wales to Ger
many, 1t says:
1T Is a poor beginning of hospitality
on the kaiser's part to allow his chan
celor to indulge In language intention
ally offensive to the whole British en-
pire."
The Westminster Gazette alone depre'
Gates the regarding OF Count Won Buo-
lows speech as a cause for further dis.
turbing the relations between Great Brit
ain and Germany.

SMOKE FILLS UP THE TUNNEL
Injured in Yesterdays Tunnel Disaster
in New York Are Doing Well-Rail-

thorities in Investigation.
tBy Associated Press,


New York, Jan. 9.-Most OF those in
jured In yesterdays tunnel accident
are reported as resting well today.
AS the district attorney has COM
menced an investigation to determine
the cause of and responsibility for the
wreck, the railroad officials have def
nitely postponed their investigation and
will present all the facts in their pos
session to the county prosecutor.
Another investigation will probably be
made by President Cantor of the bor-
ough OF Manhattan. Mr.. Cantor said
today II will confer with the corpora
ton counsel regarding my authority
over tunnels exclusively used by rail-
roads. l am not fully satisfied as to
my power in this matter.
AS Investigations are being made by
the district attorney, the coroner and
the state commissioner of railroads,
thought 1t best to find out my authority
before l attempted an investigation Of
my own.
my opinion is that IL electricity had
been used by the railroad, the accident
would not have happened.
II visited the scene of the wreck at
$3.50 last night I watched the trains
passing through the tunnel. The vol
umes of smoke from the locomotives
filed the tunnel so that 1t was impos-
sible to discern the lights"
District Attorney Jerome said he
wished his investigation to be as thor
ough as possible and that he would con-
fer with Coroner Scholer to that end.

REPORT OF GERMAN BUDGET.
Estimates Show Deficit Of &c, 1000, 600
Marks for the Year.
(By Associated Press.

Berlin, Jan. 9.--The minister of finance,
Baron Won Rheinbaben, in the lower
house today presented the budget for
1902, in which the ordinary estimates
show a deficit of 70,000,000 marks.
This, however, the minister explained,
had been covered without special diff
Guilty, thanks primarily to the imperish-
able services of the late finance minister
DR.. Miguel, whose wise foresight had
collected a surplus which at the end Of
1900 amounted to 71500,000 marks.
Baron Won Rheinbaben considers that II
speaks well for the internal condition OF
the states finances that in spite of de-
preston in trade the demands of the ex.
chequer were met without resort to ex-
traordinary means.
There seemed to him to be no occasion
for pessimism.
