FERRY BOATS COLLIDE
PANIC ON TWO STEAMERS IN THE
BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Women Faint or Go Into Mysteries,
and Some Attempt to Jump
Into the Water.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-Endangering
the lives of thousands of passengers, the
Southern Pacific ferry steamer Newark
crashed into the ferry steamer Oakland In
the middle of the bay during a dense fog
to-day. The Newark struck the Oakland
aft the paddle box. tearing a hole in her
side, but fortunately did not damage her
machinery.
The Newark came out of the wreck with
her rails carried away at the bows The
deck near the apron was cut deeply by the
Oakland's side. Owing to the intense fog
on the bay the boats were doing double serv-
ice, the crowd on each steamer being dou-
BILE in consequence. On the Oakland the
excitement was greater than on the Newark
The force of the blow was such that the
boat listed about 20 degrees. After this
lunge to starboard the Oakland recovered,
but rolled to port when the Newark backed
her engines and got clear.
AS the Oakland rocked on the water after
the crash the crowd on the lower and
upper decks rushed back and forth in a
fury of fright. Women fell fainting or went
into Mysteries on the injured steamer Upon
the upper deck several women rushed to the
rail to leap overheard, but were held back
by the men. Racks containing cork jackets
were torn down through the whole length of
the Oakland's lower deck. On the Newark
the passengers were more easily restrained,
that vessel not feeling the force of the col
l1Sion as much as the Oakland. Fortunately
in the crisis the officers of the steamers re-
manned cool While the captains and pilots
at their posts In the wheel houses were eX-
Treating the boats from their position, the
mates and deckhands with presence of
mind went about urging and persuadng the
crowd that there was real danger. 1t
was found to be almost impossible to re-
strain the more excited persons who let
their fears run away with them. During the
half hour that followed the crew had to
stand ready, fearing that at any moment
some passenger might leap into the water.
But despite the fog, so dense the pilots could
scarcely see the hagpoles, both boats
finally reached the slips on this side of the

TO BOYCOTT MRS. PLAT1
WASHINGTON WOMEN PUT SENATOR'S
BRIDE UNDER SOCIAL BAN.
Say They Will Not Live in the Same
When She Comes to the Capital.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 1.-THE Washington
correspondent of the Globe-Democrat says:
The marriage Of Senator Plat and his an
nounced determination to live at the Arl-
ington Hotel during the winter has given
rise to a situation that is causing the
management OF the Arlington considerable
embarrassment Notice has been served
by some of the women guests that the
arrival of Mrs. Plat will be the signal for
their departure.
Mrs. Platt is woman Of forceful person
atty, and she has succeeded in making a
number of sincere enemies among the fem
mime members of Washington society. 1t
so happens that some of these ladies re-
side at the Arlington, and others who call
that hotel their home have friends whose
affection for the wife of the senior senator
from New York is not marked.
When word came to Washington that the
senator was to marry Mrs Janeway, and
that she had leased her handsome house
in order that she might live at the Airing
ton with her husband. there was a fiutter
in the palatial hosiery. Impromptu meet
ings were held in the reception rooms and
kilograms were sent to the wives of con-
gressmen and senators who have engaged
apartments for the winter. Out of all this
grew a notice, served upon the manage
ment last Monday, that certain of the
women living in the hotel would not sub
NIT to having Mrs. Platt take her place as
a guest among them.
AS the wife of a senator of New York,
she will take social precedence over many
of the women at the Arlington. In no city
in the United States are the lines more
closely drawn as to social influence and
standing. 1t so happens that some of the
women who would have TO take back seat
for Mrs. Plat have felt the force of her
displeasure in the past, and the prospect
of being compelled TO submit to her dicta-
ton by virtue of her standing is unbearable
to them. The hotel management has not
answered the protest There is intense
curiosity concerning the outcome Sena-
tor Platts apartments at the Arlington
have been engaged

TRUTH WAS DISTORTED
MISUNDERSTANDING VIGOROUSLY
DENIED BY WAYNE MACvEAGH.
Says He Was Well Treated by Mem
bers of the Venezuelan Arbitra-
ton Tribunal.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. T.-Wayne Mac
Veagh. who returned from Europe to-day.
authorized an unqualified denial of the mis-
representations published while he was at
sea respecting his relations to the Vene-
zuelan arbitration. Mr.. MacVeagh said
GAS usual, there is in this tissue of false
hoods a grain of truth, but so distorted

ago the counsel for Venezuela sur
prised to learn that they would not be al

cause. This decree was made. not by the
court, but by majority of the diplomats
accredited to The Hague, who were consti-
tuted by The Hague conference an admin
istrative council for the tribunal. Being
diplomats and not lawyers, such a mistake
was very natural. and pointed out this
fact in courteous language, saying that as
soon as the court assembled it would
doubtless correct the error, which it did at
once There was no occasion for a trace of
i'll feeling in the matter and 1 do not be-
ieve any existed.
Just the contrary of the misrepresenta-
lions published is the truth. In my whole
professional experience 1 was never treated
with more kindness and consideration than
during my entire stay at The Hague. In
deed, the courtesy shown me was very ex-
home as soon as was consistent with the
most effective discharge of my duty, and
when L discovered that the order for the
numerous counsel would be alphabetical
and, therefore, l would only be reached
after all the other arguments had been
made (six of them being on the same side
MYSELF, it was very clear that the most
effective discharge of my duty could be
made II the judges and the other counsel
would allow me TO make the opening argu-
ment, and TO make il before the adjourn

great qualification all the counsel kindly
acceded to my request and all the judges

imagine better proof OF the kindly feeling
with which i was regarded"
Wayne McVeagh was the representative
of the so-called peace nations before The
Hague tribunal. These included the United
States. France, Belgium, Holland, SPAIN

conditions existing in the department
which includes the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska. AS the result of a personal tour
of Alaska during the summer General
Funston suggests that a different station
be found for the troops at Valdez, because
a mountain 1900 feet high lies just south
OF the post, which shuts off the sun for a
large portion Of the day. AT Fort EgbeTt,
which is near the Arctic circle, he found
that the officers had cultivated garden in
which they raised their own vegetables
He said that the question of maintaining
all the military posts in Alaska is one re-
curing more knowledge of the policy and
intentions Of the government than is vouch-
safed a department commander before it
can be ntelligently dealt with"
AT four OF the posts on the military tele-
graph line all the available force is needed
to maintain the line. He recommends that
Fort Davis, near Nome, be abandoned, as
military authority is not needed there. The
people OF the community, numbering about
ten thousand, are not turbulent and most
of them, in case of necessity, could be
called upon to support the civil authorities.
General Funston speaks In high terms Of
the signal corps which has constructed the
military telegraph line in Alaska.
General Funston recommends that large
tract of land at American lake near Ia
coma Wash, be acquired for the purpose
of "a drill ground and camp for concentra-
ton in case of war.

Mr.. Skinner said to-day to the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press: 1--WE
expect TO spend Christmas at the capital
of the Ethiopian empire, and / hope to
return to my post at Marselles by the LIST
OF February next. Our mission is three
fold. including opening diplomatic rela-
tons, the presentation TO Emperor Menelik
of an invitation to visit the st. Louis ex-
position and to make scientific investiga-
tions in behalf of the Agricultural Depart
ment. Naturally / am most hopeful of OBJ
tanning information which will stimulate
American exporters and extend our COM
merce in a field where already there is
considerable trade. Although government
agents do not make trade, they can pre-
pare the way, and by the negotiation Of
favorable commercial treaties can lay
down the foundations for maintaining and
extending trade through a long period
Without a governmental understanding
private commercial enterprises in a new
country like Abyssinia are necessarily linn
tied. Already we are selling Abyssina
large quantities of cotton goods and are
buying goat skins, hides, carpet WOOL civet
and ivory. Abyssinia heretofore has been
cut of from the outside world. but French
enterprise recently constructed railroad
and opened commerce TO the coast.
Il have been informed by the Abyssinian
prime minister, Ilg, that the Emperor fully
appreciates the aims and purposes OF the
United States and the reciprocal advan-
tages of an exchange of views. He is anx-
ious to hasten my movements and to secure

African sovereign has not before exhibited
the wonderful resources of his empire. The
scientific plans OF the expedition are i'm
portant. as Abyssinia is the habitat OF
many plants and animals which may pos

HENRY FARLEY'S STORY
WALKING DELEGATE Is ALLEGED
TO HAVE CONFESSED.
Accuses Business Agents of Unions
with ExtOrting Large Sums of
Money from Employers.

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-Henry Farley, the
an indictment for alleged perjury, in tes-
timony he gave in the trial of Samuel
Parks. is announced by the World to have
made a startling confession. Numerous
cases are enumerated in his statement Of
walking delegates in this city and sur
rounding towns having successfully con-
spired to extort money from contractors
and builders to avoid strikes or have them
called off. Farley asserts that in one in
stance $4,000 was procured from w. E. ID.
Stokes to stop interference with the build
ing of the Ansonia Hotel at Seventy third
street and Broadway.
The confession was made to District At
torney Jerome in the presence of several
assistants. It's telling occupied many hours.
Farley asserts that the perjury with which
he Is charged was committed at the in
stance of prominent lawyer. 1t consist
ed in his swearing that Parks and he did
not meet at any time on day during which
the prosecution had asserted that Parks
received 500 from a Brooklyn contractor to
avoid a strike. Farley admits, it is said,
that the money was given in his presence,
first in the form of check, which was re-
fused, and later in cash.
Farley was indicted after the Parks trial
and remained for some weeks in prison
while his wife suffered from lack of the
necessaries of life. He was released on bail
after the return of Parks from the Kansas
City convention and through an under
standing with the district attorneys office
his trial on the perjury charge has been
postponed until the next term of court. He
said his confession was given purely to re-
lieve his conscience and was only accepted
by the district attorney in that spirit and
with the distinct understanding that it
did not involve immunity. The district at
torney is in possession of the name OF the
attorney in the case, together with the
names of all the walking delegates alleged
to have been concerned and disbarment
proceedings are promised in connection
with the other Developments.
