BLAMES THE WALLA WALIA.
Capt. of French Bark Which Was in
Collision with Lost Steamer
Tells His story.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE French
bark Max. Capt. Benoist, which was
in collision with and sank the steamer
Walla Walla, causing the loss of about
40 lives, and which was towed to this
port Sunday night, was badly DANA ge ii
in the accident. Her jibboom, made of
hollow steel, was broken and twiste d
and the tip of it trailed in the water
on the port side Of the vessel and at
about right angle with the line of the
hull. Her stem was twisted and great
gaping holes had been torn in her bow.
There was one almost at the water
line, and another a few feet above.
Only her water-tight compartments
kept her from sinking.
The French vessel left Glasgow 100
days ago bound for this port. She was
in ballast and consigned to Frederick
Henry. Her captain had little to say
regarding the disaster except that his
vessel was closely following the rules
of the road when the steamer came
under the bows of his bark. He de-
clared that the lights of the Max were
properly burning and displayed and
that the men of his crew saw the steam
er for long time before the collision.
He said:
1--WE could think of no reason why the
men on the steamer did not see us, and, as
the vessels approached, We became anx-
ious Then it was too late. The steamer
had tried to cross our bows, but mao 1a1led
Just before the crash came the steamer
swung slightly to port as though an ef-
fort was being made to pass to our stern,
but the change in her course had been
made too late. The bark struck the
steamer almost amid ships on the port side
For moment they hung together, and then
drifted apart. Our vessel was so badly
damaged we thought she would sink, ana
under the circumstances we had all We
could do to take care of ourselves. BY day.
light we had beaten we'll out toward the
sea, and were safe from the breakers, but
our vessel was in a great measure unman-
ageable.
ION Saturday morning we accepted a
tow from the steam schooner Acme, which
later was aided by the cutter McCulloch."
The captain added that he thought
the lookout on the Waila Walla was in
toxicated, but this charge is emphat-
ically denied by Capt. Hall, of that yes
sci, who says there were three men
on watch at the time. Second Officer
lie Chavalier, of the Max, told sub
stantially the same story as the cap
tain.

Gompers Tells Central Federated
Union of New York About Ma
tiOnaI Civic Federation.

New York, Jan. 7.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, who attended the recent
meeting of the National Civic Fed
Grafton, was expected at the meeting
of the Central Federated union, just
held here, to make his report on the
conference. As he was unable to leave
Washington, however, he sent writ
ten report. Mr.. Gompers stated that
the movement of which the conference
was part would help establish rightful
relations between capital and labor
and prevent or reduce the number of
strikes. Several socialist members of
the Central Federated union made an
attack on the National Civic Fedora
ton. The socialists wanted a resolu-
tion passed denouncing the recent con-
ference, but, it was decided to leave
the matter to a referendum vote of the
different affiliated unions.

may, however, be safely asserted, that
except Sir Walter Scott, no novelist
has ever made such sums as would be
regarded by men in the money market
as wealth. Scott's income averaged
for years $4,000 a year. Dickens left
100000; Thackeray less; Bulwer
