TELLURIDE. Jan. Yesterday
morning the president and secretary
of the Miners Union served notice
on each of the business houses of
this city that they had instituted a
hnunntf on, thn n,tl
that they would boycott any firm ad-
vertising in the sheet. What the
outcome will be is hard to forecast.
The Journal in moderate and reason
able editorial last evening reviewed

its 20 years existence from the time
the town contained half a dozen shan
ties down to the present, that con-
sistent policy had been followed at all

policy the same as any other insti-

The paper appeared as usual last
night minus two firms which had

One other firm withdrew this morn
ing, while a new ad was inserted by
a non-advertiser who does not believe

EUREKA, Cal. Jan. 3.-News has
just been received here OF the wreck
of the Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany's steamer Walla Walla, which
took place shortly after o'clock this
morning during high sea.
At that early hour when the pass
engers were all asleep the steamer
ran into French sailing vessel and
in ten minutes foundered and went
down.
Forty-five persons are probably lost
and the number may reach a hun
dred. The Walla Walla had crew
of 80. She had 40 saloon passengers
and 2S steerage passengers. AT the
moment of the collision the officers
were cool and collected and ordered
out the boats and as many passengers
as could be found were put into them.
Nearly all these were saved.
The Frenchman was not injured
and sailed away. paying no heed to
the sinking steamer.
News of the disaster was brought
to Trinidad. which is about 80 miles
north of here. 1t came by the first
life boat to arrive, which carried IA
passengers. The total loss will not
be known till late this evening.
The excitement on the ship was in.
tense, and practically as the boats
were leaving the sinking vessel sew
eral women and children came up the
cabin stairs and saw death staring
them in the face.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-It is
not improbable that the reported loss
of the passengers on the Walla Wal
la this morning is above the list OF
the drowned given. There were 120
souls on the ship. and 1t is not believ-
ed that over so were saved The
Office of the company here was throng-
ed with an anxious crowd all eager
to get the news of the vessel.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 3-This af.
ternoon the company reports 81 of
the Walla Wallas passengers missing
together with the crew. They de-
clare the rest of the passengers have
been accounted for.
