State Treasurer H. c. Upton Satur.
day decided that he would not cash
any warrants for deaf-mute institute
expenses, should they be presented to
him, holding that under the decision
of the supreme court in the COAi eder-
ate roster case, the bill was not a law,
as it had not been presented to the
governor in the legal time, therefore
that there was no appropriation, says
the Little Rock Gazette. he holds
that should he pay out funds on the
ueaf-mute accounts he would be vio-
lating the laws Of the state, even
though he were indemnified by bond.
The governor has stated that he
could easily borrow the money to run
the deaf-mute institute the next two
years; that is, unless some one can
be found who will cash the warrants,
should they be issued by the auditor.

IWENTY-SEyEN MET DEATH
Heavy Fog Made the Efforts OF
Life Saving c tew Almost
UseIess

MARSHFIELD. Ore, Oct. 20.-The
steamship South Portland, which
sailed from Portland early Sunday
morning for San Francisco was
wrecked last evening in binding fog
near Bandon on the southwestern
coast of Oregon and it is feared that
a large number of passengers and
crew have been drowned.
The vessel struck about o'clock,
just as it was growing dark, and sans
in a few minutes. The vessel had
thirty-four souls on board, twenty
three in the crew and eleven passen-
gers. Two boats were manned, but
both captsized and several of the oc-
cupants were thrown into the sea and
the cook and four passengers reached
shore in safety, but it is feared that
at least eighteen people have been
drowned. A life raft was seen n tie
breakers this morning with twelve
people on it, and the life saving crew
is now endeavoring to save them.
The South Portland struck bow on
which lifted her forward parts high
out of the water and she settled aft
and later slid off the rocks and i'm
mediately began to fill with water.
The captain, seeing that All hopes
OF saving his snip were gone, gave or
ders to man the beats with ali possible
haste. Two boats and tie life raft
we're lowered. One boat containing
the captain and seventeen souls c-p-
sized as they were getting away tron
the steamer and only seven OF ---e
eighteen were able to get into the boat
again. The other boat also cApsized
and was seen drifting away IN the
thick fog without person in sgt.
