STEAMER IN COLLISION.
Runs Into Fishing Schooner Off Vine
ward Haven.

WOODS HOLE, Mass. June 6-The
steamer Martha's Vineyard. plying between
the Island of Marthas Vineyard and this
port. having on board large number of
passengers. the United States mail and a
heavy freight, collided with a fishing
schooner off Vineyard Haven in a dense
fog today and was badly damaged
One man was seriously injured and a
number of passengers were made uncon-
scious by the shock of the collision. The
damage to the steamer was all above the
water line and she succeeded in reaching
this port. The name of the fishing schooner
was not ascertained, owing to the fog She
lost her fore-riggng.
The collision occurred not long after the
steamer had left Vineyard Haven A
thick fog obscured the sound and the
Martha's Vineyard was hardly clear of the
harbor when she struck the schooner.
The vessels came together with great I
force The steamers bow struck the
schooner forward. the bowsprit of the fish
erman raked the steamer, carrying away
both the upper and the lower decks back
to the paddle box. The fore-rigging of the
vessel became entangled In the wreckage
and was carried away. Russell Hancock
of Chilmark, a passenger on the steamer,
was badly injured. and number of other
passengers, unable to escape the sweep
of the schooner's bowsprit, were knocked
insensible.
The vessels fell apart almost Immediately
after the collision and the schooner drifted
away in the fog before her name could be
learned. a hasty examination of the Mar
tha's Vineyard showed that she was not
leaking and 1t was decided to make for
this port She reached here at 9:30 O. clock.
Mr.. Hancock needed medical attention. The
others who had suffered in the collision
had recovered before arriving here.
The schooner, IL was learned later, was
the Gloucester fishing smack Senator Sauls-
bury. She lost her bowsprit but was not
damaged below the water line.

Department it is learned that during the
trial of Captain Chamberlain for alleged
smuggling on the transport Seward one of

serted that no attempt was made to bring
the goods ashore. The defense called Col
lector Shuster to the stand to prove that
American transports had not been subject
ed to the same rigid examinations as
merchantmen; also that the United
States naval vessels were not inspected
when coming into port 1t was developed,
however, that United States men-of- war
would hereafter be inspected whenever the
The case had not been decided when the

chasing agent to the Straits settlements
to purchase 10000 tarabao for the islands.
The animals are to be thoroughly inspected
before landing, and are to be sold to the
farmers throughout the provinces at cost
and on liberal terms.

MARINE ENGINEERS STRIKE.
Old Dominion Steamship Line Refuses
to Grant Demands.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va. June 6-There has been
no strike among the marine firemen as yet,
nor any official notification of such inten-
ton.
The Farmers Manufacturing Company,
giving employment here to about 25O per-
sons in the manufacture of baskets. did
not have to close down today as a result
of the marine engineers strike, enough
raw material having come through from
North Carolina during the night to keep
the plant in operation for several days.
An official of the Old Dominion steam
ship Company today said that so far as
he knew the steamers of that company
would remain al their wharves until the
engineers agreed to work for the old scale,
the aggregate advance demanded by the
new scale being 80 1-3 per cent. This
would amount to several hundred dollars q
day. and would be more than the COM
pany could afford to pay.

Assistant Secretary Loomis check for

posted the money here and notified by
cable United States Counsul General Nc

even hints Of cannibalism, and without ex-
tensive aid from abroad, for all of the
Chinese officials seem paralyzed, the most
frightful calamity will follow.
