The Boilers Explode as the Boat

People Rescued.

Marseilles, Juno 8.-A shipping disaster
occurred, near this port yesterday Two
passenger steamers. the Insulaire and the
Liban. both belonging to the Fraissennet
Steamship company OF Marseilles, came
into collision.
The Liban sank and over 100 of her pas
sensers and crew persisted
The steamer, Liban left Marseilles yes
terday morning on her regular passenger
trip to Bastia, Corsica, and was run down
and sunk by the Insulaire off the Marie
islands The collision was witnessed from
the pilot boat Blechamp, which was about
two miles distant. The, Blechamp imme-
diately repaired to the spot to render as
sistance.
The force of the collision had cut a
great hole in the Liban's side and she
was making water rapidly. Her captain
saw the only chance was to run the
steamer aground and the Liban was
headed full speed for the Shore but with

REASONS FOR MERGING
They Are Reviewed at Length by Judge
Young.

Young.
Judge Young, in beginning his argument
Saturday afternoon, reviewed the progress
OF the oriental trade fostered by Mr.. Hill.
he SAID the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific could not properly guarantee ship.
pers in this trade, because they reached
eastward only as far as st. Paul, and had
to work thru joint tariffs which could be
terminated at any time by their connec-
tons. They tried unsuccessfully to &C.
quire the Milwaukee, and finally bought
the Burlington. This opened up the Illi-
nois coal fields and insured shipments Of
fuel to the northwest, which were uncer-
tain before. according to the testimony
of F. N. Saunders.
1t was this purchase of the Burlington,
said Judge Young, that made the North
ern Securities company necessary. It was
bought by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, each taking one-half Of the
stock and issuing bonds. The attempt
of the Union Pacific to get control of the
Northern Pacific. and thus get both that
line and half the Burlington, aroused Mr..
Hill to the necessity of forming a large
corporation that could not be raided. Mr..
Hill did not fear competition from the
Union Pacific in the oriental trade, be-
cause of its heavier grades, but it would
not do to let that road get control of the
Northern Pacific. So grew the idea. Of
the Northern Securities company, out Of
an old project Of Great Northern stock
holders to form a holding company for
the protection Of their stock.
AS to the question Of control. Judge
Young frankly admitted that ownership
of a majority of the stock meant control
of a road, subject to the rights of the ex-
listing directors. Without a majority there
could be influence, but not control.
From the idea of two holding compa-
MES, one for each road, came in Septem-
Der or October the idea of a joint holding
company. The large capitalization of $780,
900, 900, suggested by Mr.. Kennedy, ap-
pealed to Mr.. Morgan, it would make
the company secure from Wall street raids.
Mr.. Morgan only demanded that every
stakeholder be given the right to come
in and under that plan the company was
organized

FRENCH SHELL FIGUIG
Loss Of Life Among the Rebellious
Tribesmen Is Reported to
Be Heavy.

BENZ ouniff, Algeria, June s.-The
French artillery opened a preliminary fire
at $50 this morning on the rebellious
Figutg tribesmen. General O'Connor
commands the punitive expedition, con-
sisting Of 1000 men Of the foreign lega-
ton and strong force Of artillery, armed
with guns firing mel1nfte shells.
1t Is believed the native loss was heavy,
but no definite details of the casualties
will be obtainable, until the French enter
Figuig. There was no loss or the
French side.
France has formally notified the powers
that she has no intention of taking Mo-
roccan territory and will only punish the
Arab brigands who were responsible for
the recent attack on the escort of Gov
ernor General Jonnart.
General O'Connor was instructed to give
the women and children Of Figuig an op-
portunity to leave the town before the
bombardment, but friendly Arab
courier bearing the notification to this
effect to the women and children was
killed while carrying the message.

This is welcome news to the Missouri
river territory, for he is believed to be
the most expert engineer that could be
put in charge of this river.
Captain Chittenden says that the feet
Of snag boats on the lower river has been
ordered to Kansas City to help clean the
city. He believes that Kansas City
could do much to protect itself against
a recurrenceof the disaster, If the bridges
across the Kaw river are built higher and
a levee constructed on either side. This
he says would quadruple the capacity Of
the river.

Tered as a result Of the recent floods more
than any other state. No actual figures
ito sustain this can be given, but those
acquainted with the extent and amount
OF damage have been making estimates
and their conclusions may be considered

& No account has been taken of the

The very lowest estimate that can be
made OF the loss done to crops is $5,OOO.-
1000. Owing to the lateness Of the season
and the condition of the soil it is very
doubtful If any profit will be derived dur
Ing the remainder Of the year from the
farms, which were inundated. AS a. con-
sequence there will be a great deal of
individual want and suffering among

RIVERS ARE ON ARAMPAGE
The Great Northern's Line West of
Havre Will Be Tied Up for
Two Weeks.

Helena. Mont, June s.-The Kootenay
and Clarks forks of the Columbia river
are on rampage in northwestern Mon
tana, with the result that the Great
Northern has been compelled to abandon
traffic In that section. The track in sew
eral places has been washed out for big
stretches and for miles the tracks along
the Kootenay are buried under water to
a depth Of five feet or more.
Two freight engines toppled into the
water near Leoniaa because of the track
sinking beneath them.
Bonners Ferry. just across the Idaho
line, is miniature Venice, and all bust
ness is being transacted by means OF
boats.
Up to last night the Great Northern had
been maintaining its coast service by the
way Of Havre. Helena and Spokane,
using the Northern Pacific tracks between
the latter two cities, but even this was
abandoned with the burning of a long
trestle between Helena and Great Falls
The passengers and mail were transferred
In boats until the bridge can be rebuilt
as it is not expected to get trains over
the regular route west Of Havre for two
weeks at least.

washington, June s.-Secretary Wilson
has assumed control of Pelican island of
the coast Of Florida. and it is now a
government reservation. The government
Is conducting an aviary there. For sew
eral years the Audubon society has COW
eted the island, but to secure it involved
several years Of litigation and the idea
was abandoned The island was about
to fall into other hands, when, to control
it and to prevent the entire extinction OF
the brown pelicans which breed there, the
government took possession.
A warden has been placed on the island
with instructions to allow no one to land
during the breeding season without a
special order from the secretary Of agri-
culture. For years the island has been
one Of the interesting spots on the coast
on account of its beautiful growth of
palms and marsh grasses and the hun
dreds Of brown pelicans which f1ocked
over it. This is the only place where
these curious birds are known to breed
In a colony. The reservation will be main
tanned simply for the preservation of these
birds.

WHITE DOVE AT WEDDING
German Settlement People Believe
This Couple Will Give Hap
PLY Ever After
Special to The Journal.


Appleton, Wis, Juneu s.-Residents Of a
German settlement in the township of
Center. Outagenie county, a few miles
north of Appleton, are mystffied over
what they regard as an extraordinarily
happy omen in connection with the mar
riage which recently took place at the
little Lutheran church in the settlement.
The marriage was that Of Fritz Wag-
ner Of the town Of Osborn, and Miss
Laura Tide of the town of Freedom and
the ceremony was performed by the pas
tor, the Rev. G.. Schowe. AS the bridal
party stood before the altar during the
marriage service, pure white dove, one
Of a flock belonging on a farm near the
church, flew into the church door, walked
slowly UP the main aisle to the chancel,
passed between the bridal couple and
the minister and flew upon the altar.
There it remained until near the close Of
the service. just as the benediction was
about to be pronounced upon the couple,
when 1t spread its wings and flew several
times around the heads Of the bride and
bridegroom as they iknelt before the altar.
The bird then resumed its perch upon
the altar, where 1t remained until the
bridal party and most Of the guests had
left the church, when it walked down the
aisle, thru groups of wondering and half
frightened guests, to, the door, when it
took wing and flew away.
The visit of the bird Is generally inter-
preted by the simple people Of the neigh
borhood to be an omen portending all
kinds of happiness and prosperity to the
couple.
