STEAMER ON FIRE
REPORTED THAT FIVE HUNDRED
Persisted.
General SiOcum. With Nearly Two
Thousand Excursionists Aboard.
Takes Fire Near He'll Gate.
Many We're Fatally Burned and
Drowned.

New York, June 15.-Five hundred
persons, mostly children, persisted to-
day by the burning of the excursion
steamer General Slocum, near He'll
Gate, in the East River.
The General Slocum with the annu-
al Sunday school excursion of ST.
Mark s German Lutheran church OF
this city ON board, was proceeding up
! the river to one Of the many resorts of
Long Island sound.
When near One Hundred and TWEEN
ty-fifth street persons ON shore saw
smoke and flames spring from the up
per part of the crowded steamer A
panic ensued on the boat almost in
stantly.
The crowds on the forward deck be-
gan to spring overheard or to crowd to
the after part of the boat. Owing to
the rocks on each side of the channel
at this point, it was impossible to i'm
mediately beach the vessel. The cap
tain stuck to his post at the wheel and
headed the vessel straight up the river
to North Brothers island, where she
was put aground in shallow water.
Several hundred feet of fopen water
still lay between the burning steamship
and the shore and many persons per-
ished either in the water or on board
the burning vessel after she had been
beached.
1t was estimated that the steamer
carried more than 1000 persons She
was the largest excursion steamship in
these waters and could carry 900 pas
sengers
The excursion was in charge of the
social committee of the church, head
ed by Miss May Abendschein
At the Office of the United States
steamboat inspection bureau it was
said that the General Slocum was in
spected May and was reported to be
in thoroughly good condition, ready
for the excursion season. Hundreds of
small boats were scattered about and
picked up those who jumped overheard
as rapidly as possible. 1t is estimated
that between 400 and 500 persons
sprang into the water. 1t is also stat.
ed that there was considerab BILE loss of
life by the collapse Of the upper deck
of the vessel.

Work to Begin on Survey Within II
Few Days.
Tacoma, June 15.-Surveying and
probably preliminary construction
work will begin within a week or 50
on the government road leading from
the western limits of the hainier for
estry reserve by Longmire springs and
to the Camp of the Clouds in Paradise
valley This is the road for the con-
struction Of which the government
made an original appropriation of
$4,000 and subsequent appropria.
ton of $4,000. OF the appropriation
but $4,000 has been spent in the sur
vey work.
United States Engineer Eugene Rick
seeker, who has charge of the work,
has already made several careful sur
veys of the country the road will cross
The best route SO far offering makes
the road penetrate the thick forests
from Longmire springs to the Nisqual-
ly river, which will be crossed upon
strong bridge short distance below
the foot of the Nisqually glacier. The
road will then ascend the foothill ris-
ing from the eastern side of the river.
This will be one of the hardest tasks,
as the switchback plan will be follow
ed in getting to the top of the steep in
cline. Mr.. Ricksecker has made sever
al surveys through the country to Par.
adise park from the top of this hill,
but has not yet settled which route
will be taken.
The work is difficult one, present
ing many problems of engineering that
will take time and careful study of the
topography of the districts crossed to
solve. Mr.. icksecker has had con.
sidera BILE experience in building gov
eminent roads through the Yellowstone
national park. These experiences con.
vince him that the road should be con-
structed in a most substantial and per-
manent way, in order that subsequent
work in mending and rebuilding be,
as much as possible, avoided. The
present appropriation is by no means
sufficient for the completion of the
road, and it may be year or so before
the road is ready for travel. When
finished wagons can 60 directly into

go no further than Longmire springs.

BOBR|KOFF SHOT.
Russian Governor Of Finland Shot
at Entrance Of
Senate.

St. Petersburg, June lS.-General
Bobrikoff, governor general. of Fin
land, was shot and MORALLY wounded
at II o'clock Thursday morning at the
entrance to the Finnish senate ut Hels-
ingfors. The assassin, man named
Schaumann, son of Senator Schau-
mann, Immediately committed suicide.
BobrikOff was shot in the stomach and
neck. He was brought to St. Peters
burg in dying condition. The act is
ascribed to Finnish patriotism. While
little is known here concerning the
motives behind such an act, the au-
thorities do not doubt that it grew out
of opposition to the policy of the Rus
sification of Finland. The question of
the convocation of the diet, which is
regarded SIS one of the most vital in
situations Of Finnish national life, and
which has not been convoked for over
a year, has aroused much feeling.
Gen. Bobrikoff, who was appointed
governor general of Finland in 1899,
made himself very unpopular by his
severe measures against the press of
Finland and the stern manner in which
he followed out the policy Of Russia to
wards the Films. This led to serious
rioting in Helsingfors in 1902, which
was suppressed by Cossacks. The last
recorded act of Gen. Bobrikof was on
March Of this year, when he issued
a proclamation forbidding the people
to darken their windows at unusual
hours People who chose to go to
bed at 10 O'Clock at night were sub
jet to heavy fines. This step was due
to the neglect of the Firms to illumi-
nate their houses in honor of the be-
ginning of the war with Japan.
