 WALLA WALLA SUNK

San Francisco. Jan. 3.-A collision a sea early Thursday morning between the steamship WaHa Walla and an un- the steam ship and the probable less Of at least twenty lives. The Walla Walla, owned by tn Pacific Coast Steamship company, sailed from san Francisco on January 1 for Puget sound ports. She carried thirty-six first class passengers. twenty-eight second class and crew of eighty men.
 When of Cape Nendocino. on the California coast. at 4:1O Thursday morning an iron bark. believed to be French, loomed up in the haze and crashed into the WaIla- Walla's bow. Then the sailing vessel slid off into the .,tiarkness and was seen no more. All the passengers and crew of the Wall3 WllIa except the few on watch were asleep. but were aroused by the crash. The steeraCe quarters are in the bow and it is believed some Of the steerage passengers and the crew were crushed to death. A big hole was made in the steamers bow and she sank in thirty five minutes. The officers and crew maintained strict discipline and the boats and life rafts were lowered.
 All not killed in the collision got of except Captain Hall, who went down with his ship. He was picked up later by one of the boats. uninjured. with the exception of a few bruises.

Columbus, O.. Jan. 3.-On the eve of the republican caucus. the so-called Foraser-Hanna contest over the or Sanization of the Ohio legislatu is an open battle, with neither Price nor McKinnon assured of the thirty five votes necessary for the republican nomination for speaker of the house.
 While McKinnon and Price are claiming thirty-seVen votes each, their managers, who keep the books are more conservative. Congressman Dick who is director general for the GTcKin- non and Hanna faction. said:
 We gained two in the declarations of Binckley of Perry, and Fisher Of Medina, today. and we want a couple more. Tine Price men concede Me Kinnon only twenty nine of what are called first, last and all the time men. But conservative on-looiIers say that each has thirty-three of that class and each needs at least two more.

BANK ROBBERS
 IN CUSTODY
They Gave Way to a Fatal Notion to
 Eat.

LeavenwCrth, Kan, Jan. 3.-The four Camden Point bank robbers were cap tured at Pleasant Ridge, ten miles west of here, this evening. Three members of the Leavenworth police force. a farm hand and q telegraph operator com prised the party which captured the outlaws.
 The robbers were caught in a box car which was on the sidetrack at Pleasant Ridge. d little way station. about G o'clock this evening. Two oi the rob bers went to q grocery store a mile from their hiding place and bought some crackers and cheese. The store keeper had been notified by the police that the robbers were headed in his direction and he suspected who the two strangers wera.
 The storekceper teiephcned police headquarters here. who sent three ofIi- cerS to the scene. The box car was sur rounded and the robbers were ordered to lay down their guns and come cut one at time. They obeyed after some hesitation and were bound securely loaded into a spring wagon and brought to Leavenworth. They were ''sweated" by the chief or police at headquarters After being 'sweated" for some time they gave their names as c. r. Ellis James Mcdonald. James Thornton and Harry EdmCads.

would come lower rates. to the great benefit of the entire country. The packing house men who were served with subpoenas are: George B. Rob bins. vice president of the Armour car lines. and w. D. Jenkins. superin- tendent of transportation for the Ham mond Packing company.
 No subpoenas were issued for the railroad men. but in their stead letters were received from the commission re- questinS their attendance at the in- vestiga ton. It is said that every per son in charge of the traffic on a road centcriag here and known to carry packing house products and dressed beef. has received d copy of the letter.
 It is doubtful if the investigation in,o the Burlington deal can proceed on Wednesday, as President Harris or the Burlington. and Darius Miller vice president. will not be in the city They have asked the commission to post pone the date. and unless the St. Paul people can get here. d postponement may become necessary. It is under stood that legal counsel interested in the. organization of the Northern Se- eufIties company. and James J. Hill. F. F. Hartman, J. P. Morgan. former President Hays Of the Southern Pa cific, President Burt of the Union Pa cific, and J. C. Stubbs. traffic director for the Hartman lines. have been asked to attend. None of these men were subpoenaed. but Darius Miller said he expected to respond to the com missions request, and it is presumed, the others will do the same.
 It is also the purpose of the com mission to inquire into the purchase of the Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific. and into all that has trans pired within the last year as tending to show the workings or the community of-interests idea.
 Railroad men have been given to un- derstand that the investigation into rate matters is not for the purpose or inficting punishment upon anyone. but will simply be in line with the investi- Sation for facts and data. This Is understood as confirming the purpose Of the president to send a special mes sage to congress.

TERMS OF PEACE
 IN SOUTH AFRICA
British Promise to Restore
 Burned Homesteads
The Boers Decide to Keep Up the War in the Belief That the British Ma ton is Wearied of Its Cost in Money and Blood.

London. Jan. 3.-During the past week there has been continuance of those indefinite and contradictory ru- establishment of peace in South Africa. which have been prevalent for many weeks now. There has not been even the slightest intimation from any official sources on which these rumors can be based, but the belief that there is good foundation for them increases steadily.
 The following information comes from source which there is every reason to believe is accurate and trust worthy. Negotiations for peace. in formal but extremely promising. are actually proceeding between Lord Kitchener and the Boer leaders in the field. Lord Kitchener. thanks mainly to the influence Of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, England's chancellor of the ex- chequer. has a free hand, subject only to reference on political matters to Lord AIilner.
 General Louis Botha has already re- ceived assurance that the burned homcsteads of the Boers will be re built at the cost Of tie British inn perial exchequer. He has a-so been informed that if peace can be ar ranged the banished leaders will be permitted to return to their country within twelve months of the official proclamation cf a settlement and that within the same period an amnesty, which shall include the convicted Cape rebels will be declared for all Doua fide acts of war.
 Practically the only question of i'm portance still at issue is the form and extent Of local self-government whicn shall be allowed the burghers of the Transvaah and Orange River colonies. Even that. according to present. infor- nation. does not present insUperlbl obstacles.
 If the Boers obtain the terms here indicated their heroic endurance will undoubtedly have received the reward which could have been gained by no other method. The recent successes of Christian DeWet and other cor1man- dants may for time make it more difficult to- persuade some of the most irreconcilable of the Boer leaders to abandon the unequal contest. It now seems certain that whatever part the Boer representatives now in Holland may take subsequently,. the first ne gotiations must be with the leaders in the field.

 At o'clock tonight the representa- tives of the Pacific Steamship company stated that their latest advices from the company's agents in Eureka ac- counted Tor 115 persons on the WaIa Walla. This leaves twenty-seven missing. There are still one boat and two life rsfts missing and some hopes arc entertained that possibly a majority of those unaccounted for may have been on these and have been picked up at sea.
 The Walla WaIla was valued at about $25O.OO0. She was formerly used as a collier and about ten years ago was converted into q passenger vessel at a cost Of S175OOO. The vessel was insured for about s2OO,OO0
 Word has just been recived from Trinidad by telephone of the boat which put in there. The survivors had a terrible experience and only five or six were left out of the boat load. The telephone dispatch states that thirteen were lost. The boat CapsiZed several time in rough weather on Thursday morning and each time several lives were lost. The survivors are now on the read to Eureka and their names cannot be learned until they arrive.
 Advices were received from Eureka at midnight that the list of dead and missing in the sinking of the steamer Walla Walla has reached forty-one. or these eight are known to have died. The remaining thirty-three are prob ably adrift on the ocean in two life rafts and d boat.

Chicago. Jan. S.-The Record-HeraId tomorrow will say:
 The interstate commerce comrnis- sion will begin q series of three in vestigations in Chicago next Tuesday which are said to have for their pur- pose the gathering of data for a special message by President Roosevelt to congress- It is said in this special message that President Roosevelt will deal with three subjects. as follows:
 l. Railway combinations.
 2. The interstate commerce com mission.
 .. Legislation governing the inter state commerce.
 Originally it was the purpose of the president to cover these subjects fully in his annual message to congress. but owing to the inability of the inte;-stat. commerce commission to get all the facts necessary. these subjects were touched upon but briefly, and left to be handled ir a supplementary mes sage. The investigations which will be made, and which win sUppiant those already made are:
 l. Tuesday at Chicago. the trans portation Of packing house products and dressed beef. Ah
 ?. Wednesday at Chicago the. Bur lington. Northern Pacific. Great North ern Pacific combination.
 ?. Thursday at Kansas City. grain and grain products to eastern and sea board points.
 4. Friday at Chicago. packing house products and dressed beef.
 The United States marshal and a deputy were busy today serving and trying to serve subpoenas on repre- sentatives of the packing house inter ests. The marshal said he had sev- eraI surmonses and had succeeded in serving two. Several of the men sought are said to have escaped service by leaving the city hurriedly. one of them missing the deputy by only 9 few seconds
