VESSEL GOES DOWN
STEAMERS CAPITAL CITY AND TRADER
COLLIDE ON PUGET SOUND.
An Immense Hole was Torn In the Hull Of
the Former and She Sank - Twenty
Passengers Aboard, but All Escaped
Court OF Inquiry VIII be Necessary to
Place the Blame.

Tacoma, Oct. 30.-The we'll known
sternwheel steamer Capital City, Cap.
tain Edwards, operating betW Ween
Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle, and the
small Canadian freighter Trader, Cap
tain II. Parsons, which was en- route
from Steveston, B. c., to Tacoma with
a cargo Of canned dog. fish salmon for
export on the steamer fremont, colIid.
ed about $3.50 last evening off Dash
point, three. quarters of a mile past
Browns point, towards Robinson'f
point. The Capital City was sunk.
No one was seriously injured, although
the Capital City had about 20 pas
sengers aboard.
An immense hole was torn in the
sternwheeler's hull, on the port side,
just abaft Of the forward companion-
way. She filled rapidly, and had bare
ly time to run for the beach, where
she sank. 1t was within a couple of
hours of low tide when the mishap oc-
Cured, and the after top of the Capital
City's house aft was barely out OF
water, her paddle wheel entirely out Of
sight. Forward the main deck was
clear. At high tide only the Texas
was out OF water.
The Traders stem was torn off and a
hole gouged in her bow above the
water line. She made port in safety.
A court Of inquiry will be necessary
to determine blame for the accident.
The captain of the Trader claims that
he signaled twice to pass the Capital
City on the starboard side. The first
whistle was not answered, but the
second was responded to with the star
board signal. The next thing he knew
the Capital City attempted to cross his
bows. The captain of the Capital City
says he did not see the trader. The
night was perfectly clear.

Conveyed from Mexico.

El Paso, Tex, Oct. 30.--What ap-
pears to be gigantic smuggling con.
spiracy for conveying contraband China.
men from Mexico to California has
just come to light here. For the past
six months half dozen United States
marshals and secret service men have
been working on the case, but the facts
only became public today. 1t seems
that the Cinnamon have been slowed
away in box cars of outgoing freight
trains and carried as far West as the
California line.
For these services the Chinese agent
is said to have paid 500 for each man
smuggled to Tucson and $3.50 for each
one carried 10 Yuma. 1t was reported
today that certain trainmen had been
discharged for participation in the con-
spiracy, but this report has not been

JURIST VENTS HIS SPITE.
America Now Understands How and Why
II Lost the Samoan Case.


Washington, Oct. 30.-The officials
here find all ample explanation of the
adverse decision of King Oscar in the
matter OF the Samoan claims in the
statement that comes from Stockholm
to the effect that the kings decision
was influenced by three iurists, one of
whom was NJ. Cedarkranz, at one time
chief justice of Samoa. 1t is stated
that while filling that important post,
NJ. Cedarkranz came into frequent col.
lision with Judge Chambers, the Amer
lean land commissioner, who afterwards
succeeded Cedarkranz as chief justice,
and il is believed that the personal ILL
feeling that followed undoubtedly in
fueDced the character of the advice given
TO King Oscar.

stretching away northwards to the
borders of Tonquin. The natives
were thus described by one of the
earliest French travellers: "Their
skin is of yellowish-brown, and
their heads are fat and round; their
faces are without expression, and
their eyes are as melancholy, though
their eyebrows are not so strongly
marked, as those of the Chinese.
They have fiat noses, and their lips
bulge out in a way rendered the
more disagreeable as they are al
ways black and dirty from the habit,
INDUCED in by men and women alike,
of chewing areca nut mixed with
betel and lime" In spite of the fer
tility of the soil, the inhabitants are
in miserable condition, and though
the sea yields large quantities of de-
licious fish the fishermen are often
too poor to own a boat, but float out
to sea on q large bamboo pole. The
forests abound in game, buffaloes,
elephants, wild pigs and other ami
mails being met with everywhere, and
the natives spend much of their time
in hunting. Tigers are plentiful, the
continuance employed for catching
them being kind of gigantic mouse
trap, constructed with trunks of the
cocoanut palm driven into the ground
and bound together with the roots
of the banyan tree. The bait is gen
orally live pig, whose squealing
serves to attract the tiger. The trap
door is weighted with large stone,
and drops in much the same way as
the door of mouse trap. The peo-
pie are too much afraid of the tiger
to hunt him openly, but they have
some ingenious ways of keeping him
at safe distance. Thus they are
careful never to oil the axles of their
buffalo-carts - numbering vehicles
constructed entirely of wood - and
the ear-piercing noise produced by
the unoiled axles, as the cart moves
slowly along, proves very effective
means of frightening the tigers
away.-London Graphic.

Tho oak dressers Of the seventeenth

the same time admirably serving the
purpose of a sideboard. The state
ment often made that Chippendale was
a designer of sideboards is inaccurate.
When Chippendale published his work
(1754 to 1892 built-in cupboards with
doors flush with the wainscoat of the
walls were still in fashion and gave
ample room for the storage of wine

uNFR1ENDLY COMMENT.
There Are Many Reasons why Pee
PIE Should Refrain from Criti-
clslng Absent AcQuaIntances.

In conversation, unfriendly COM
ments regarding the absent should
always be avoided. In social life it
is well to shun ill-natured gossip.
Make it q rule, and let it be strictly
observed, not to say anything about
the faults of another unless there is
absolute necessity for you to do so.
This necessity may arise, and your
own Judgment can guide you about
the matter. It is always rash to talk
of the faults or evil doings of others.
Why, indeed, should you do so? You
know yourself that you have faults,
few or many, and that there are
many things you may have done
which you prefer should not be dis
cussed. Well, then, exercise the same
charity to others that you would
have extended to yourself.
Another thing to bear in mind is
that, if you talk of what is to the dis
advantage of another, what you say
will doubtless be repeated. OF course,
you may preface your remarks by:
This is quite between ourselves,
"Pray do not repeat it," etc. But why
should you imagine that the person
to whom you are talking will be ST.
lent about that which you promised
to keep to yourself? She may forget
her promise, or may not consider, 1t
very binding.
Then, too, when things are repeat
ed they never lose in the telling.
Something is taken from, or added
to, the original story, and if repeated
several times, it loses very often
most of its original character. The
most terrible mischief is caused by
gossips of this kind. Friends are sep
arated, relations are estranged, quar-
rels are fomented, and "bad blood is
aroused, simply because something
said, perhaps thoughtlessly, on the
impulse of the moment, is repeated.

An old man and a young one, while
travelling from London to Brighton in
a train, got into conversation. The
old man asked:
(which would you sooner travel in
the up-to-date railway train or the
,old-fashioned stage coach?"
..Why, the up-to-date railway train,
of course, the young man answered.
"Ah, would sooner travel in the old
fashioned stage COACH
''Why?"
swell, if you are in the old-fashioned
stage coach and the wheel comes off,
and you are thrown into a ditch, it's
'Hullo, old party, there you are!' But
if you are in the up-to-date railway
train, and the boiler bursts, its not
.Hullo, old party, there you are!' but
'Hullo, old party, where the dickens
are you?' London Answers.
