FORTY-TWO LOST.
This Is the Latest Estimate of the
Walla WalIa Disaster.

WalIa walla Disaster.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. g. The
French bark Max, which collided with
the steamship Walla Walla early on
Thursday morning, has been towed to
this city in a badly disabled condition
by the steamer Acme and the United
States revenue cutter McCulloch. The
Max's bowsprit was carried away, and
her bow was stove in both above and
below the water line. Her water tight
compartments alone were keeping her
af1oat.
Ninety-two survivors of the Waila
Walla arrived here yesterday from Eu-
reka on tie steamer Pomona. There is
still some discrepancy in the list Of
dead and missing. This discrepancy is
due to the fact that several passengers
boarded the vessel just as she was
leaving port. Others who were travel
ing second class gave assumed names
in order to hide their identity. BY
striking out what are possible dupli-
Gates the number of lost stands at for
ty-two, classed as follows: Known
dead, 9; missing, passengers, 13; crew,
20.
One life raft is unaccounted for, and
1t is feared that all the missing are lost.

The Philadelphia Press has the
following to say of governor Shaw,
who is to be Secretary of the treas
ury:
ellis Methodism is of a sterling
type. He is strongly opposed to
dancing and to the use of liquor in
any form. At the first inaugural
ball, when he was elected governor,
there was no dancing, as he would
not consent to it. At the second in
augural ball he acceded to the wish
es of his friends and permitted them
to dance, but he would not permit
the use of wine, and liquor has new
er been served in any way at state
function or at social gathering in
his home, either during his official
career or before"

CUBAN FRAUD CASES
Trial of Postoffice Officials
Proceeding at Havana
REEVES TESTIMONY CONTRADICTORY
Defendants Statements Before Court
Do Not Correspond With For
mer Evidence Given-General
Wood Reduces Gas Rates.


HAVANA, Jan. AT the continual
ton yesterday of the trials of the
cases arising from the Cuban postoffice
frauds in the Audenca court Senores
Lanuza and Desvernine reappeared as
counsel for Estes G. Rathbone. Upon
the opening of the court last Saturday
Rathbone was informed by the judges
that his counsel, Senores Lanuza and
Desvernine, had withdrawn from the
case.
MOya and Mascara, the two Cuban
stamp clerks, testified that they had re-
ceived surcharged stamps from Charles
&. w. Nicely without making record
thereof, that they had sold them and
had given the money received therefor
to Nicely. The two stamp clerks re-
called about eighteen instances Of such
payments Of about 500 each. Moya
said that Nicely made no secret of these
transactions and that Neely's clerks
received this money when Nicely was
not present.
w. II. Reeves, one of the defendants,
was on the stand for three hours. His
NolCC was 50 weak ludL Tic IHtel plCtcl
repeatedly asked him to speak louder,
as the official stenographers were una
bic to catch one-half of what he said.
The fiscal examined Reeves with re-
gard to the paying of four duplicate
warrants on the postoffice department
for the pay of employees in July, 1889
when Reeves was deputy of Cuba, and
involving about $4,000. One set of war
rants had been drawn about the mid
die of the month and another later,
and the names on them had been
forged.
Reeves said that both sets of war
rants had been paid. He testified that
Nicely told him he had caShed these
warrants. The fiscal asked Reeves if
he had not in previous statement to
the court of first instance said that he
himself had forged the Endorsement to
these warrants. Reeves refused to an
swer this question. His testimony was
contradictory in many respects with
his previous statements.
During Reeves testimony Nicely re
marked that Reeves was getting him
self into a tight place and that if he
would keep on he would prove him
(Neely) to be innocent.

Bishop Potter of New York, at
recent meeting of a church club,
rallied again al the pfohibitory law.
And the license journals, especially
in Vermont, are making the most OF
it. It is really wonderful what
great respect license newspaper
can have for bishop who opposes
the prohibitory law, it is almost tear
full to contemplate. Perhaps it Is
done as an offset to their hatred to
Rev. Morrow But never mind this
Here is an extract from bishop Pot
ter's remarks on the occasion noted,
as reported through the press:
In Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont to-day by actual statistics
the consumption of certain prepare
tons is larger than anywhere else in
the country. One of these is sars-
aparilla which has II per cent. of al
cohol, another is a compound with
81 per cent. of alcohol, another is
bitters with 81 per cent of alcohol.
A good claret has 10 per cent. of al
cohol, and great multitudes of peo-
pie who are sworn prohibitionists are
the consumers of these things.
Now how does this distinguished
bishop know that ''Great multitudes
of people who are sworn prihibition
lists are the consumers of these
things?" He knows no such thing;
he guesses at it and if he wasn't a
bishop, booked for the kingdom of
heaven, it would be safe to safe to
say that he prevaricates. There is
not word of truth about this
statement. Any one can verify this
by asking their druggist. Ask the
druggists of Vermont and you will
get the answer nine times in ten,
that the buyers of these articles to-
getner with Jamaica ginger, pepper
mint essence and other like prepare
tions, are sold to rum hungry fellows,
everyone of whom favor license. It
is said that some of these bishops
who favor license keep well stocked
wine cellars themselves. IF this is
true they furnish, in themselves,
proof of the falsity of the above
quoted statement.
Another thing about this matter
is that the consumption of these ar
ticles by the class that use them is
standidg refutation of the oft repeat
ed assertion of license journals that
all the rum any man wants can be
obtained right here.
