Montreal, June 13.-The RicheIfeu
and Ontario Navigation company's
steamer Canada, bound from Quebec
for Montreal, came into collision with
the Dominion Coal cOmpany's collier
Cape Breton six miles below SOrel.
Twenty minutes later the Canada
went to the bottom. At the time of
the collision there were 40 people on
board the Canada. Five were lost;
the others were rescued. Those who
perished were: Alfred Thibeault. tick
ct agent of the company at Quebec.
and his two sons, aged u and II; Pur-
Ser Bonneterre, of the Canada. \
man named Brunei, of Sorel. is miss
ing, and it is supposed that he per-
iShed.
Collision j ust at Dawn.
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay
at the entrance of the Lake st. Peter
channel waiting for daylight, so as to
find her way through. She was get
ting under way when the Canada,
making for Sorel at full speed, came
into view. Just what the collision
was due TO and who is responsible for
it has not yet been determined, for the
officers of the Canada decline to talk,
but from the statements given out it
would appear that the Cape Breton
had not got headway on enough to
answer her rudder, and that she
swerved across the path of the passen-
ger boat, her bow striking the C1nada
just forward of the paddle box on the
star-bOard side, and tearing its way
half through.
No Great Excitement on Board.
Then the Cape Breton swung clear
and the two steamers came alongside
one another. The shock of the col
Iision aroused the sleeping passengers.
The Canada at once began to settle,
and as the Cape Breton did not appear
to be seriously damaged the pasScn-
gers were hurriedly transferred to this
steamer. In the excitement some of
the passengers jumped overheard and
wre picked up by boats from the Can
ada and the Cape Breton. but great
majority of those on board did not be-
come excited. while the discipline
shown by the crew of the Canada was
excellent.

OF the Japanese. This does not include
the Japanese loss in wounded The
hussian loss, according to this ac.
count, was only 80 or 40 men.
The night of December 2 the Japa-
nese began a heavy artillery fire on
Poutilof Qone Tree) Hill, paving the
way for an infantry attack The Rus
sian artillery answered vigorously for
several hours and then slackened. The
Japanese, imagining the Russian fire
had been silenced. flung themselves in
masses against the trenches. where
they were allowed to come within
close range and then were met with
whitening volleys and a counter
charge with the bayonet The Japa-
nese fed, having sustained enormous
losses.
A Cossack expedition which was
sent the night of December 2 to can
ture a Japanese battery on the Rus
sian right flank was only partially sue
cessful. The Cossaeks wiped out the
Japanese sentinels. killed the gunners
and got possession of the battery. but

Philadelphia, Dec. 7.-One of tb,
most horrible accidents reported within
recent date occurred in the Thomas

Taper, 40 years old, an expert worI,-
man. was caught in one of the great
Wire-making machines and ground in
pieces before the eyes of his fellow
workmen, and before any effort could
De made to save his life. So quickly
dld the accident happen, and so awfnI
was the scene. that all those who wit.
messed it We're horror-stricken. ana
Ior minute or so could hardly move
from their places.
Taper found that something was
wrong with the machine. He was t,v-
ing to repair the damage. when The
next thing his fellow comrades saw
was his body being rapidly drawn
through the machine where the strands |

so quickly did it all happen that mot
me OF the men in the place could rem

ae lips Of Taper, and almost as
ulckly as he was caught in the intri-
aIe machinery was his body ground

oIice said it was one of the mos
lshtIul cases they ever handled.

JAPANESE BOMBARD WARSHIPS

st. Petersburg, Dec. 7.-AIthougb the
war office and the admiralty are stiiI
without direct news from Port Arthur
conidence-in the ability of the fortress
70 hold out continues to be expressed
1he reports from Toxic Of the shelliny
Dt the battleships and Of heavy losses
py the Russians in an ineffective Al
tempt to recapture 2G3-AIetre Hill are
considered misleading. According tn
nigh officer of the general staff the
WarsP51s would be able to seek shelter
from ehe fire from 203-Metre Hill nv
anchoring behind the Tigers Hill /
peninsula. Reports that the Russians
are clearing the mine fields outside rbe /
harbor are regarded as the best indica..
llon that the squadron is preparing
10 move out to this anchorage. where
1t viii be secure under the protection
T the shore batteries.
AN artillery officer who knows Port
Arthur thoroughly expresses the belief
mat the Japanese viii be unable to
hoid the summit Of 2O3-Metre Hill on
account of the fire of the Antse and
Etse forts, which are less than two
miles distant. This officer declares that
1t viii be impossible for the Japanese
70 mount guns at the top of Metre
Hill until the ammunition of the Antse +
and Else forts is exhausted.
The Toxic estimate that the Rus ,
SLAMS lost 5000 men in the ATTEMPT to :
recapture 209-Metre Hill is declared F.
to be absurd, and it is pointed out
lhat such a loss would imply the vir- "
-ual crippling of the resistance. vet il
