Terrible Steamship Disaster.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 10.-The steamer
Clallam, of the Victoria feet
went down early yesterday morning
midway between Smith island and
Dungeness. in the straits of Juan do
Fuca. Fifty-two persons were drowned
Every woman and child aboard was a
sacrifice to the fierce storm that ragged
in the straits Friday night.
The boats were launched and in these
some of the passengers were entrusted
to the angry waters. The first boat
contained only women and children
three deck hands from the Clallam and
Captain Lawrence OF Victoria going off
in her.
The boat was overwhelmed 600 feet
from the Clallam and It's occupants
shrieked in vain for aid from those
aboard the steamer. Not a hand could
be raised to aid them.
The second boat rowed away into the
darkness. From on board the Clallam
men were seen as the waves tore them
from the boat, but 1t was still afioat,
The third boat. containing only men,
was swamped In launching.
A part Of those who remained on the
ship were saved several hours later BY
the tugs Holyoke and Sea Lion.

ATTEMPT MADE TO
KILL POLLY PRY

Denver, Jan. 1l-An effort was made
last night by some unknown assailant
to assassinate Mrs. Lionel Ross An
thony, better known as Polly Pry."
editor of the Polly Pry magazine, and
a well-known writer, at her home, 13l
West Colfax avenue. AS she opened the
door of her home shortly after
O'Clock last night in answer to ring
at the door bell two shots were fired at
her, neither of which took effect. The
hall was dark and Mrs. Anthony wore =
black dress. To these facts Mrs. An
thony probably owes her life. After the
shooting the assailant made his escape
in the darkness.
In the opinion OF Mrs. Anthony, the
shots were fired at her by some IA
matte who had been excited to mur-
derous degree by the attitude she has
taken on the labor situation in Colorado
in the publication of which she is the
proprietor. Several friends were in the
house at the time and rushed to the
front door when the shooting took
place, but were unable to catch a
glimpse Of the assailant whom Mrs.
Anthony described as very large man
wearing a derby hat. This was the
only description she could give.

the state department Thursday that

American marines in such haste to the
Corean capital ahead Of all European
marines was because of desire to
protect not only the American lega-

the Chemulpo electric railway and the
electric light works, in both of which
Americans are interested largely.

DEFENSE WIILUSE
NO WITNESSES

Denver, Jan. "a dispatch from
Georgetown last night says: Attorney
Richardson for the defense abruptly
shortened proceedings in the Sun and
Moon mine dynamiting conspiracy
cases this morning by announcing, af-
ter. being denied motion to dismiss
the defendants, that he would not put
any witnesses on the stand, being con-
vinced that the state had made no
case. Argument will be made next
week. beginning Monday at 1870
o'clock. and 1t probably will consume
two or three days.
In asking for the discharge of the
defendants this morning Mr.. Richard
son stated that he based his motion
upon the following reasons: That the
venue was not shown; that the vepue
was not properly laid; that there was
no evidence of conspiracy; that there
was no evidence to connect any of the
defendants with the alleged offense;
that the alleged offense, il committed
at all, was in Gilpin. and not in Clear
Creek county; that there was not suf-
icient evidence of any conspiracy on
which the court could allow verdict
Of guilty to stand on if one should be
given; that no conspiracy Of any kind
was proven, even though it is held that
the alleged crime was committed that
the evidence was immaterial, irrele-
want, incompetent, insufficient, made
quate and wholly failed to establish
any offense charged in the information.

CONFEDERATE LEADER, DEAD

Atlanta. Ca. Jan. 10.-Lieutenant
General John Brown Gordon died at
his winter home near Miami, Florida,
at 1905 last night.
His fatal illness, which overlook him
last Wednesday, was congestion of the
stomach and liver, following an acute
, attack of indigestion, to which he was
sub; sct.
General Gordon had been uncon-
sciotls nearly all day. The beginning
of the end occurred this afternoon, Sc
rious complications setting in. and by
night his physicians had abandoned all
hope, as his kidneys refused TO secrete
and the symptoms OF uraemic poison
ing were decided. His death was quiet.

resides at Biscayne, and his daughter,
Mrs. Burton Smith OF Atlanta, were
with him when he died.
General Gordons body will be

Georgia. studied law and was admitted
to the bar, but had practiced only a
short time when he entered the Con-

Washington, Jan. 10.-The response
of Senator Reed Smcot of Utah to the
charges made against him, was pre-
sented to the Senate committee on
privileges and elections yesterday by
Senator Burrows, chairman of that
committee. 1t was agreed that at the
regular meeting of the committee, to be
held next Saturday, the attorneys for
MIR. Smoot and for the petitioners
should be heard.
Mr.. Smoot submits in answer 10
charges against him the following:
This respondent is advised and
AYERS that but two of the charges made
against him in said protests, either di-
rectly or by Implication. are such as,
If true, could legally affect his right
to hold his seat in the Senate. These
two charges are:
IL That the respondent is polyg-
amist.
20. That he is bound by some oath
or obligation which is inconsistent with
the oath required by the constitution,
which was administered to him before
he took his seat as senator.
Both these charges respondent de-
nies.
"As to the charge that he is polyg-
amist, the respondent says that he was
married on the 18th day of September.
1884, to Alpha May Eldridge. She is
still his wife and is the mother of all
his children. He has never had an
other wife and has never cohabited
with any other woman.
LAS to the charge that the respondent
Is bound by some oath or obligation
controlling his duty under his oath as a
senator, the respondent says that he
has never taken any such oath. or in
any way assumed any such obligation.
He holds himself bound to obey and
uphold the constitution and laws of
the United States, including the condi-
tion in reference to polygamy upon
which the state of Utah was admitted
into the Union"
The response goes on at length to
deny the charges made against the

GENERAL REYES
RECEIVES ANSWER

Washington. Jan. 9.-Gen. Rafael
Reyes, the Colombian special envoy,
has received the answer of the Wash
ington government to his note charg-
ing the United States with opea vio-
lation of the treaty of 1916.
The answer, which was prepared by
Secretary Hay, though couched in the
most diplomatic terms and expressing
the wish of this government to deal
justly with Colombia. is an emphatic
refusal to reopen the Panama ques-
ton.
Prior to the receipt Of the reply, Gen.
Reyes wrote to the state department re-
Questing that the correspondence be
transmitted to the senate for it's con-
sideration. Pending an answer to this
request, the correspondence will not be
made public.
Arthur Beaupre. United States minis
ter to Colombia, arrived Thursday and
called on Secretary Hay. He told Mr..
Hay that the reports about danger to
the American legation at Bogota had
been greatly exaggerated.
MIR. BeauDre also said that in his
opinion, judging from the quiet con-
ditions prevailing at the Colombian
capital when he left, there was little
danger of war on the Isthmus.
The minister, being accredited to the
Colombian government, was not In
clined to comment on conditions there,
but it was gratifying to the administra-
ton to learn from him of the courtesy
with which he had been treated and the
honors which had been shown him at
his department. The minister does not
attempt to minimize the high feeling
that prevails in Colombia regarding
lsthmian affairs. but he believes that
the people Of the republic are begin
ming to realize the situation and what
war would mean.
