for smelters, railroads and coaling

railroads will give us an outlet for our

RICHLY LADEN SHIP IN
WAKE OF WATERSPOUTS
Persons on Board the Gaelic Wit
ness Awe-Inspiring Sight Off
Coast of Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1s.-Two great
waterspouts were witnessed from the deck
of the liner Gaelic on March 81 soon after
the vessel left the coast of Japan. both in
latitude 81 degrees IS minutes north,
Longitude 143 degrees rs minutes east. The
Gaelic was proceeding in "a good sea and
weather when the waterspout was sighted
a mile away, bearing south-southeast and
travelling from east TO west at the rate of
about five knots an hour. Just previous to
the appearance of the waterspout heavy
dark masses of clouds were seen rising to
the eastward in the shape of mountains and
a heavy downpour of rain was experienced.
Later a fierce squall followed, and the
waterspout churned the sea up like the pro-
peller of a steamer and made noise like
that produced by waterfall The second
waterspout passed within 200 or 800 yards of
the Gaelic. 1t was a much larger spout
than the first one and made more noise and
churned up the with great violence.
The wind at the time was east-south. very
strong, with strong rough sea and fierce
squalls and rain prevailing at intervals.
The Gaelic brought a rich cargo of
freight the principal items being 546 boxes
of opium. worth, duty paid, about $500 900;
$40 bales of raw silk, worth about $4,000,

POPE WILL NOT RECEIVE
THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
Efforts to Arrange Meeting at the
Vatican by Friends of Loubet
Prove Unavailing.

PARIS, April 1S.-The Rome correspond
of the Echo de Paris affirms positively,
despite all denials, that the French govern
ment has made strenuous, though unoffi-
cial efforts to arrange a reception for
President Loubet at the Vatican during his
visit to Rome-first through the French
ambassador to Italy, with the conn:vance
of the Italian government, next, through
Cardinal Rampolla, who positively de-
clined to become mixed up in the question,
and finally through a French archbishop
and a French cardinal, only ceasing when
it was found that the Pope was immoy-
able.
THE chief reason for the Pope's re-
fusal." says the correspondent, lis not
that he wants disagreeable relations with
the French republic, but that he desires to
make peace with the Quirinal. which he
certainly will if he reigns long enough.
The Pope is determined TO effect his pur-
pose directly and not through an interme-
diary, which role President Loubet, as the
head of a Catholic state. would indirectly
play if received at the Vatican

theory that a submarine boat sank the
PetrOpavlovSk. discussing the full report
of the disaster, cabled to the Associated
Press from Liao-Yang, said: 1T doesn
prove she struck mine. On the contrary,
il is evident from the dispatch that the
Petropavlovsk was some distance off shore
where II was impossible TO lay contact
mines on account of the depth of the water.
The signal mans story IS irreconcila bic with
the mine theory. Like Grand Duke Cyril

SAYS the PetrUpavlovsk was almost at q
standstil1 which would have been the most
favorable position for submarine boat"
Some of the papers which insist upon
the submarine boat theory lay great stress
upon the alleged statement made by one
OF the Cramps. of Philadelphia, who is
quoted as saying the Japanese had sub
marine boats obtained from Great Britain.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
learns that about a fortnight ago Vice Adj
miral Makaroff telegraphed to the Emperor
that he mad searched a number of Suspi-
cious-looking Chinese junks which were
lowering about the entrance of the harbor
and found them loaded with vegetables,
but In the stern CT one of them was a
contact mine. This piece of information
strengthens the japanese mine version.
1t is asserted here with great positiveness
that Russia has purchased two battleships
at Schichau and Elbing.
AS a result Of the Petropavlovsk disaster
the Admiralty has given orders that the
Baltic and Black sea warships be fitted
with longitudinal bulkheads and that the
latter be pierced so as to permit of COM
munication between the water-tight COM
partments on either side of the vessels.
