Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 20
After suffering the most narrowing ex-

list of dead follows: Miss Maud
Steiner. Gle Ellum, Wash, drowned;
Mrs. Il. Adams, died from exposure;

To add to the horror, the heavy seas

The Queen was headed for the
mouth Of the Columbia river and
about s. o'clock the steamer Santa
Monica was sighted. The Queen sig
nailed and asked to stand by until
temporary repairs could be made.
When everything had been made safe
the Queen continued on to the mouth
Of the Columbia, only to find the bar
was too rough to be crossed. The
damaged craft was pointed toward
Puget Sound, but bad fortune still
pursued her and when she rounded
Point Flattery she encountered a

reached here without further mishap
and proceeded to Seattle, which she
reached about nightfall.
Ten of those who lost their lives
were spilled out of the small boats;
three men, walters on the vessel, were
%suffocated before they could reach the
outer air from their hunks in the
after part of the ship and one woman
died later from exposure.
Practically the entire aft of the
ship is in ruins from the fire. Were
it not for the fact that the captain,
crew and passengers behaved with the
utmost GOODNESS, the vessel undoubt-
eddy would have been destroyed and
the loss of life enormous. The vessel
carried more than 200 passengers.

Novel Test In Hypnoti.m.

A curious experiment was made one
afternoon recently at the Opera Co
mique, in Paris, on a hypnotic subject
Of an exceptional type who during a
hypnotic state was extremely sensi-
tive to the sound Of musical instru-
ments and the human voice, says the
Chicago Tribune. He appeared on the
stage and when the music commenced
began to make gestures, following the
rhythm in the most graceful manner.
A song by Miss Garden caused the sub.
ject to balance his head as If waving
his hair.

If JAPs TRY TO LAND TROOPS.
Russian Torpedo Boats Will Attempt
to Destroy Transports.

Paris, Feb. 29.-According to the st.
Petersburg correspondent of the Echo
de Paris, the Russian naval general
staff is convinced that if the Japanese
attack Port Arthur, Vice Admiral
Stark, commanding the naval forces
there. will allow the vessels to ap-
proach the port, combining himself to
defensive operations, unless an at
tempt is made to lalnd troops, in which
case the Russian torpedo boats will
make an effort to destroy the trans
ports at any cost. The staff is con
WINGED that Admiral Stark, despite the
state of his health, which causes anx-
iety, will succeed in defending. Port
Arthur and destroying the transports.
Port Arthur is amply supplied with
coal and ammunition.
