STEAMER WAS SINKING.
She Was Outward Bound With Six
Passengers.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 2S.-The
steamer Iris, running between Van
couver and Texada Island, sank to-
day near the mouth of this harbor I'M
der peculiar circumstances. She was
outward bound with six passengers
and was fighting a strong rising tide,
when opposite Prospect Point the
tide was running swiftly through the
narrows and forced the Iris over to
the opposite shore, where she
grounded on sand bar with list
to starboard. Water broke over her
and she began to fill. A break of the
tide fioated her off the sand bar, but
she sank in twenty fathoms.
When she was on the sand bar the
passengers and crew jumped out and
stood waist-deep in water for more
than half an hour before they were
picked up by a fishing steamer. They
suffered considerably from cold and
exposure The steamer was valued
at $4,000.

First Russian Congress May Dawn a

st. Petersburg, Nov 2S-The I'M

meeting of the Zemstvoists, First
Russian Congress-" as it is now call
ed, may, indeed, mark the beginning
of new era for Russia. Emperor

back on the reactionaries and crown
his reign by granting to his subjects

the significant fact that the emperor
received in the palace NJ. Shipoff, of
Moscow, NJ. Petrunkeivitch, of Tever,
NJ. Rodzianko, of Ekaterinoslav, and
Count Heiden, four prominent mem

A Big BATTLE SOON

For Desperate Struggle.
EHDEAVOR TO TAKE PORT ARTHUR
A Strong Effort Will Be Made to
Take Port Arthur Before the Bal
tic Fleet Arrives-Much skirmish-
ing but No Engagement.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-There is
lack of news from the front. The re-
port that the Japanese. are concen-
trating their energies for a desperate
assault on Port Arthur, in view of the
approach of the Baltic squadron, Is
quite generally credited in official
quarters. Such a move has been ex-
pected to transpire as soon as the
japanese learned that the squadron's
trip was an actuality and no mere
demonstration. The authorities are
prepared to hear terrible reports of
the projected assault While not haz-
arding a guess whether the fortress
can be carried if the besiegers are
utterly regardless of human life, they
are confident that General Stoessel
will be able to make such an attack
one of the costliest operations in his
tory.
Mukden.-There are large bands of
Chinese bandits in the neighborhood
of Tie pass, though no Japanese Off
GERS have been noticed along them.
The army around Mukden is max

evidence of an intention to pass the
winter in the present location.
Skirmishing continues to the south
ward, but there has been no serious
engagement.

Japanese directed against Rihlung

East Kekwan mountains, have
