to leave Washington

Reyes has dispatched to General Nor

tions at Washington and informed the
Bogota government that after doing
everything in his power TO save some
thing from the wreck he has failed.
General Reyes has not supplemented
this announcement with a word OF ad-
vice as to the course his government
shall pursue. Naturally he expects in
view of the high feeling prevailing in
Colombia that it will be very difficult
to restrain his people longer
Throughout the negotiations Con-
eral Reyes brought to bear all the
pressure in his power to preven;
rupture between the Washington and
Bogota governments and he is graft
fed that his people have kept taelr
word and not declared war while there
was any hope Of effecting a settle
ment by diplomacy. This means hay
ing failed General Reyes does not feel
that 1t is his mission further to ad-
wise the Bogota government as to its

Boston, ex-Congressman John C..
Crosby of Pittsfield and others, reso-
lutions were adopted inviting Demo-
Gratis everywhere to work in favor

ed without dissenting voice read:
The Democratic state committee
of Massachusetts, herewith places up
on record its appreciation OF the
eminent services rendered the Dem
ocratic party and the nation by
Richard Olney. and expresses it's firm
conviction that under his leadership
in the coming Presidential cam
paign, important New England states
will swing over into the Democratic

achieve a sweeping victory, ensurfng

ed, he said, that Mr.. Olney was
strong in New York and New Jersey
and that he would be acceptable to
those states. New York not having
any candidate, the nomination of a
man from New England and that
man Mr.. Olney. would have the i'm
mense advantage to the Democrats
of establishing a large eastern area
where the scales could be turned in
favor Of the Democratic nominee. He
believed Mr.. Olney would be strong
in Illinois and Connecticut.
Mr.. Hamlin in favoring the reso-
lutions, referred to the advantages
which would accrue from nominat-
ing a New England man.
Mr.. Hamlin said: Mr.. Olney Is a
man of sterling Democracy and of
rugged character. Under his lead
ership several states Of New England
may be counted upon for the Dem
ocrats. Under his leadership the
Democratic party will sweep the

waves sweep passengers from their
hold on the seats and hurl them into
the waters. Though the life boat was
righted later, diligent search has fail

gers and embers Of the crew were lost
when a third life boat was swamped

her hold with water. extinguishing the
fires beneath her boiler and placing her
at the mercy of a bowling gale.
Word came from Victoria of the YES

full tugs were dispatched from here to
to render assistance. The Richard
Holyoke, in command of Captain Rob-
ert Hall, was the first to reach the
Ciallam, which had by this time careen-

ter which had put the engines out OF
commission. The Holyoke reached
Clallaru at IL O'Clock last night and
about 1 a. m, succeeded in getting Il
hawser aboard, with which she start
ed to tow. The Clanam took a heavy
Iurch and those remaining aboard were
compelled to climb up the side to safe
ty, finally reaching the roof of the pilot
house.
Without a moments hesitation, the
tugs boats were lowered and the work
Of rescue commenced. At this point,

rived and her men rendered valuable
assistance. Before all the struggling
people had been taken off, the Ciallam
commenced to break up and soon after
ward went down. All possible assis-
tance to the rescued people was given
by the two ships masters and the tugs
hurried to Port Townsend. The pas
