STEAMSHIP WRECKED.
The Madina, With Party Of Ex-
curSionistS, Went on q Reef.
There Was Considerable Alarm Among
the Passengers When the Vessel
Struck the Rocks, But No
Panic Prevailed.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Feb. 1.-THE
Quebec Steamship Co.'s steamer Ma
dina, Capt. Fraser, which sailed from
New York last Saturday with party
of excursionists for a special cruise
around the Caribbean islands, went
ashore on the reef off this island at 3
o'clock Tuesday morning. The ship is
total loss, but all on board were res
cued and brought safely to land after
a perilOus trip in life boats from the
wreck to a tug standing mile off.
The mails and the passengers bag
gage also were saved. According to
statements made by those on board,
the Madina was threading her way in
the night through the narrow channel
between the coral reefs, which leads
to Hamilton harbor, when she struck
a reef, one and a half miles northeast
of North Rock. No explicit explana-
ton is yet forthcoming as to how the
vessel went on the rocks, and the only
information obtainable from the Off
GERS is that the light which indicates
the channel for some reason could not
be seen.
All the passengers were in their
hunks when the Madina struck the
rocks, but the shock of the impact
Weakened them and they rushed on
deck, the majority of them without at
tempting to dress. Considerable
alarm, though not a panic, prevailed
among the passengers, when they
found that the vessel was hard on the
rocks, but the officers went among
them and Gained them, although a
number went below again to seek their
clothing. A part of the crew did not
share the GOODNESS Of the officers but
the latter soon restored order among
the troublesome seamen.
Signals of distress were sent up and
the passengers passed an anxious time
during the latter part of the night.
The Madina listed heavily after time
and when morning broke lay broadside
to the wind. The passengers were
huddled together on the hurricane
deck and the sea breaking over the
steamer drenched them to the skin.
AS soon as the news of the wreck be-
came known here government and 9th
er tugs proceeded to the scene to en-
deaVOr to render assistance

THE oLYMPIAN GAMES.
They Will Be Held in ST. Louis IN
stead of Chicago.

st. Louis, Feb. 12.-"Everything set
tied. You have Olympic games" is the
wording of a cable dispatch received
Wednesday from Michael La Grave,
Worlds fair commissioner at Paris,
by the Louisiana Purchase exposition
officials. The meaning of the message
is that the Olympic games, which were
originally intended to be held in Chi
cago in 1904 will be held in ST. Louis
during the Worlds fair, the interna-
tional committee having now so de-
cided.
A special committee was appointed
by President Francis some time ago
to take up the question Of securing
the Olympic games carnival for St.
Louis. A number of meetings were
held with the Chicago men in charge
of the games. In furtherance of the
project, the Athletic union, Of st.
Louis, sent a special committee to New
York to confer with the main body
of the Amateur Athletic union in rela-
tino to securing the American athletic
events in 1904 for ST. Louis. Through
the aid of A. G. Spaulding, of Chicago,
and others identified in the affair, de-
cision was made favorable to ST. Louis,
though dependent upon the ultimate
decision of the international commit
tee on the Olympic games, to which
the whole question was finally referred.
The Worlds fair managers say that
a gratifying feature of the situation
has been the attitude of the Chicago
committee, which has manifested the
utmost friendship toward st. Louis i'll
the undertaking.

THE ALASKAN TREATY.
United States Senate Ratified the
Boundary Convention.
There Was But Little Opposition Man.
ifested-Greek Commercial Treaty
Was Under Consideration, But
Action Was Postponed.

Washington, Feb. 12-In an execu-
tive session which lasted only an hour
and half Wednesday, the senate, in
addition to confirming large number
OF nominations, ratified the Alaskan
boundary treaty and came near taking
similar action on the commercial
treaty with Greece, which was report
ed by Senator Cullom Wednesday
from the committee on foreign rela-
tiOns.
The Greek treaty was read through
by the clerk and then Senator Cullom
asked that the resolution of ratifica-
ton be acted on. but Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, objected He said that
he desired an opportunity to examine
the provisions in the treaty concern
ing consular trials. He explained that
he had no objection to the general pur-
port of the treaty, but said as the pro-
vision was read, it seemed to him to
be loosely drawn and he wanted an
opportunity to read it carefully before
giving his assent to it. The principal
purpose of the Greek treaty is the reg
ulatiOn of commerce between Greece
and the United States. 1t contains
full provision for the control of the
consular service along the lines laid
down in the recently negotiated Span
ish treaty
There was no delay in securing &C
ton on the Alaskan treaty, and very
little opposition to it. was manifested.
Senator Teller said that he considered
the Alaskan boundary so we'll deter
mined as to make it not matter of
dispute. Therefore, while he would
not delay it, he would not vote for it.
Senator Mason made few similar re-
marks, adding that he considered the
procedure proposed by the treaty
non-American. The ayes and noes
were not called, but there were sew
eral voices heard in the negative when
an informal expression was called for.
The ayes we're so much more numer-
Gus, however, that the decision of the
chair to the effect that ratification had
prevailed was not challenged.

WANT CASH PAYMENT.
Germany Ignores Her Previous
Agreement.
Great Britain and Italy Have Re,
nounced Any Responsibility For
the Action of Germany and
Expressed Their Regret.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Germany has
ignored her previous agreement made
with Minister Bowen by Count Won
Quadt-Wyradt IZny, her charge DAFT
flares, and has insisted on a cash pay.
ment of $4,000 or lien on the GUS.
toms receipts of one of the Venezuelan.
ports until this amount is paid. This
information was communicated to Min
lister Bowen Wednesday night by
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the Ger
man minister.
Mr.. Bowen Immediately Informed
the German minister that he refused
to yield the receipts of any port prior
to The Hagues decision, saying that
that would be preferential treatment.
AS to the cash payment of $4,000
demanded, Bowen left that matter to
the minister to determine, saying to
him that if Germany can afford to
make concessions that it does not
stand by agreements signed by it's duly
accredited diplomats, he (Bowen), is
willing that they shall receive on the
day the protocol is signed the total
amount asked in the original ulti-
matum. The response has been ca
bled to the German foreign office.
Great Britain and Italy have re-
nounced any responsibility for the ac-
tion of Germany and expressed their
regret. Through their representatives
they have informed Bowen that they
will stand nv all agreements thew
have made with him and will not be
influenced by the action of Germany.
Both the British and Italian protocols
provide for a cash payment of 6 800
and for the submission of the ques-
ton of preferential treatment to The
Hague. They contain recommends
tons for the removal Of all previous
treaties of amity and commerce and
the Italian claims which already have
been adjudicated without further ar
bitration after her commission has
arbitrated the other claims.
With the exception of the demand
for an increased cash payment, the
protocol of Germany in all essential
respects will conform to that of Great
Britain, but will be somewhat more
concise. All these protocols, it is
understood, will provide for the i'm
mediate return of all vessels seized
by the blockading squadron.
