NO TIDINGS OF ST. LOUIS.
Friends Of Her Passengers at
4me,ican Line office.

There many inquiries yesterday at the
office of the American Line by friends of pas
sengers on the steamer st, Louis, which was
due here Monday and which had not been
reported yesterday either at Nantucket or Fire
Island. To ali inquirers the officials explained
that uneasness should be felt, undoubted-
ly the Atlantic anything but summer
sea- They explained that even if anything had
happened to the machinery she was equipped
with twin screws and two sets of engines, and
could proceed under reduced speed with one
set of engines if necessary.
The steamer sailed from the other side nearly
a day late owing to slow eastward passage.
She has needed overhauling for some time, es
pecially in the boiler room, and this has un-
doubtedly prevented her from developing full
speed. At the Office of the company it was said
yesterday that Captain Passow, under the cir
cumstances, would naturally not push the vessel
in the face of the gales which all the incoming
steamers are reporting, and take the chance Of
crippling his ship. All steamers are coming in
from to two days behind time.
The delay in taking her off for an overhauling
was due to the impossibility of replacing her
Immediately with another ship of her class The
New-York which has been in the hands of the
shipbuiIders for year, will be in commits
sion The St Louis is TO be taken off for
three months overfauling at Cramps yards
as soon as she arrives here and discharges her
cargo.
In view of the character of the St. Louis, there
is no reason for apprehension that the passen-
gers are in serious danger. She is in the regular
lane used by the transatlantic liners, and
would be likely to be sighted and reported by
incoming steamers if anything serious had hap
pened
On the steamer were 75 first cabin. 40 second
cabin and 130 steerage passengers-215, all told:
The first cabin passengers. according to a list
received here Yesterday, are as follows:

Washington Jan. 14.-It is learned at the
State Department that Ambassador Tower has
received from the German Foreign Office an un-
equivocal denial of the statement which found
some currency few days ago to the effect that
heGGerman Government was endeavoring to
secure control of the Panama Canal franchise
The Ambassadors advice did not credit the
German Government with any feeling for or
against the canal enterprise. but it is gathered
that the state of the public mind in Berlin. Ger
tainly in commercial circles. is favorable to
American construction because of the benefits
expected to accrue to German shipping engaged
in trade on the Pacific and on the west coast
of South America.

SARTORIs AND ANNEXATION.

A special dispatch from Cobourg, ont,
| to the Cincinnati Inquirer says;
Algernon Sartoris. late captain in the
| United States army and a grandson of
General U. S. Grant, is in favor of the
| immediat Is annexation of Canada by the
United States. He claims. in fact, that
Canada is by right, and always has
been. a part of the United States. Can
ada's present position as colonial
power. he says. is only through the suf-
ferance of the United States. which at
any time could take the country.
Sartoris' candid expression of his views
was the result of a controversy he had
entered into with a Toronto paper over
Canadian criticism of the Alaskan boun-
Diary award and a letter ne had written
the paper.
Captain Sartoris. who is visiting his
mother here said today: Yes. l wrote
