San Francisco, Jan. A collision
at sea Thursday morning between the
steamship Walla Walla and an un-
known sailing vessel resulted in the
sinking of the steamship and the
probable loss of at least twenty lives.
The Walla Walla, owned by the Pa.
cific Coast Steamship Company, sailed
from San Francisco January l for
Puget Sound ports. She carried thir-
ty-slx first-class passengers, twenty
eight second-class and crew OF
eighty men. When off Cape Mendo.
cfno, on the California coast, at 4:10
Thursday morning, an iron bark, be-
lieved to be French, loomed up in
the haze and crashed into the Walla
Walla's bow. Then the sailing vessel
slid off into the darkness and was
seen no more. All the passengers
and crew of the Walla Walla, except
the few on watch, were asleep, but
were reused by the crash. The steer
age quarters were in the bow, and it
Is believed that some of the steerage
passengers and crew were crushed TO
death.
A big hole was made in the steam
er's bow and she sank in thirty-five
minutes. The officers and crew main
tanned strict discipline and boats and
life rafts were lowered. All who were
not killed in the collision got off, ex-
cept Hall, who went down with his
ship. He was picked up later by one
of the boats, uninjured, with the eX-
ception Of few bruises. There was
choppy sea running, and the small
boats could not make a landing on the
shore a few miles distant. They drift
ed about all day, and finally sixty
five people were picked up by the
steamer Despatch, which took them
to Eureka. Another boat, under COM
mand of Engineer Brown, containing
thirteen people, attempted to land at
Trinidad and was swamped and six
men were drowned.
When the Despatch reached Eureka
with the survivors, the tugs were i'm
mediately sent out for the missing
boats. The tug Ranger picked up one
containing eleven passengers and
three of the crew.

THE czoLeosz AUTOPSY.
Assassin Vas Sane and Fully Responsible fOr
His Crime.

New York, Jan. IAN exhaustive
report on the trial, execution, autopsy
and mental status of Czolgosz, the as.
sassin of President Mckinley, is given
in the New York Medical Journal. The
report embodies the result of much
careful investigation by DR.. Carlos Nc
Donald and Edward A. Spitzka, of this
city. The question which these inves.
tigators set themselves to answer was ::
When Czolgosz shot the President
did he know the nature and quality of
the act he was going to commit, and
that the act was wrong?"
This was from the legal standpoint.
From the standpoint of medical sci
ence the question that framed itself
was:
Was Czolgosz at the time he COM
mitted the act victim of mental
disease or mental unsoundness?"
The reply to these questions, which
embodies the entire history of the
case from the trial of the criminal to
his execution and the disposal of his
remains, takes up nearly IL pages in
the New York Medical Journal and,
divested Of all teehnicalities, is to
the effect that Czolgosz, was sane and
responsible under the law, and pun
ished for that offense; yet, every
thing in his history, according to the
medical experts, pointed to the eX-
istence in him of the social disease,
anarchy, of which he was a victim.
His refusal to reply to questions at
the trial is regarded as having been
in line with his role, expressed in the
theatrical declaration: Il am an an
archist, and have done my duty"
Mr., Mcdonald concludes his report
with the declaration that Czolgosz,
when he assassinated President Nc
Kinley was in all respects sane-both
legally and medically-and fully re-
sponsible for his act.
Mr.. Spitzka, who made the autop
sy, concludes his report as follows:
There has been found absolutely
that could have been at the
bottom of any mental arrangement
Taking it all in all, the verdict must
be socially diseased and perverted,
but not mentally diseased. The most
horrible violation of human law can.
not always be condoned by the plea
Of insanity. The wild beast slumbers

PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO.
Governor Hunts Message to the Legislature
Necessity for Change in Laws.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 4.-Gov-
ernor Hunts message to the legisla'
ture of Porto Rico was delivered at
IL o'clock this morning before a joint
session of that body held in the Thea
ter San Juan. The building was crowd
ed. The message says:
Tranquility and contentment pre-
vail in Porto Rico schools have multi
piled; railroads are being constructed;
the commerce of the island has been
developed and exports have increased
agriculture has become more profit
able, roads are being built and debts
are being paid. Tolerance of opin
ion has become more common, former
antagonism being forgotten"
Governor Hunts report said further
that 1856 schools are open throughout
the island, 934 teachers are employed
in them, and $4,000 children attend
them. The insular revenues have in
creased the available balance by $12S,
600 over the balance of July, 1901
and the total balance today including
tariff rebates, ETC., amounts to $2,
600 900. Governor Hunt recommends
the revision of the municipal laws and
the adoption of modern city charters
Concerning the case of Santiago
Inglesias (the representative of the
American Federation of Labor, who
was sentenced here December IL tC
three years and four months impris
onment on a charge of conspiracy
the Governor referred to the ambigu
tiles of existing law, and said that the
remedy therefor is in the hands o
the legislature.
There is no room for lawlessnes'
in Porto Rico," said Governor Hunt
"but it is perfectly lawful to organize
to secure better wages by peaceablt
measures. The ambition to bettcl
ones condition is intensely American
and where the purpose of organiza
tion is merely to increase the profit
of labor, or to dignity its wortl
through peaceable means, a law sus
ceptible to a construction forbiddinl
the execution of such purpose Is un
worthy the American Government
and should be wiped out"

SAME OLD DowAGER EMPRESS
She Has Not PrOiited by Her Experiences Of
the Past Year.

Pekin, Jan. 4-Several recent oc-
currences tend to discourage the hope
that the dowager empress has learned
a lesson of reform from the events of
the past year. Foreigners are dis.
posed to take a pessimistic view OF
the outlook. General Yung LUIS deter
mination to organize two anti-foreign
army corps to Offset the commands
of pro-foreign Chinese leaders is par.
ticularly disquieting, and an evidence
of the continued domination of his IN.
fluence, which is bitterly anti-foreign
Other incidents considered significant
are the suppression of the only indie
pendent newspaper in this city by Oh
der OF the governor of Pekin, and the
closing of the industrial school here
recently organized by philanthropic
Chinese, The school was intended for
the training of destitute youths. Other
liberal Chinese will hesitate now to
give practical vent to their theories,
fearing the displeasure of ofiicialdom.
The edict regarding the recent muir
der of Belgian priest near Ming Sha
Foo, in Kan 500 province, has ap-
peafed. 1t appoints a special official
to punish those guilty of the crime
and reaffirms the dowager empress
good will toward Christians. There is
unusual activity upon the part of the
court in the punishment of those
guilty of an anti-Christian outrage,
and is taken as evidence of the dow
ager empress desire to conciliate the
powers upon the eve of the return Of
the court to Pekin.
Proofs accumulate that Prince
Ching's arguments persuaded the dow
ager empress to trust herself within
range of the legation forts. Officials
here describe the dcwager
and General Yung Lu as be-
ing extremely nervous and suspicious
lest the foreigners are planning to
entrap them after their arrival, and
punish them for encouraging Boxer
ism. The foreigners will probably re-
view the courts re-entry into Pekin
from the wall near the legations. The
Chinese officials have been sounded
by the ministers as to whether they
will enforce the old custom of restrain
ing foreigners from witnessing i'm
peTial professions. The replies are |
not encouraging. The treaty gives the |
legations a strip of wall commanding |
a view of the gates of the imperial |
city, and the members of the foreign |
are planning to assemble |
thereon. 1t will be a great innova !
ton.
