STEAMER SINKS IN WILD STORM
Fifty-one Drowned When Within Three
Miles of Shore


Seattle, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE steam
er Clallam. of the Seattle-Victoria
fleet, went down midway between
Smith Island and Dungenness. in the
Straits of Juan de Fuca. Fifty-one per-
sons were drowned. Every woman and
child aboard the Clallam perished.
The Clallam was a staunch new pas
senger boat. She left Port Townsend
for Victoria, facing a terrific southern
gale. Within sight of her destination
huge sea overwhelmed the little
steamer, smashing in her dead lights,
flooding her hold with water, extin-
gushing the fires beneath her boiler
and placing her at the mercy of a
bowling gale. The elimination of the
tragedy was postponed for several
hours.
Within three miles of shore and at
time when it appeared certain that
the Clallem had been lost, desperate
effort was made to save the women
and children in the lifeboats. They
were placed in the first boat to leave
the ship, which Captain Lawrence, a
Yukon pilot, volunteered to command
the boat which was manned by deck
hands. The frail craft went down
within sight of the Clallam. and a sec
ond lifeboat filled with male passen-
gers, and in command OF Second OH
Ger Currin, was probably lost few
minutes later. Aboard the Clallam
watchers saw the waves sweep passen-
gers from their hold on the seats and
hurl them into the water. Though the
lifeboat was righted later, diligent
search has failed TO find trace of her.
More passengers and members OF the
crew were lost when a third iifeboat
was swamped in an attempt to launch
the boat.
The tug Sea Lion sighted the Hol-
yoke and her tow about midnight and
stood by TO assist. An hour and a
half later she lurched and disappeared
beneath the waves.
BY heroic efforts the crews OF the
two tugs saved the lives of nearly all
who remained aboard the Clallam. A
few were swept away and perished in
the blackness of the storm.

BIDS FOR PHILIPPINE BONDS
Harvey Fiske G Sons Offer to7.577 For
100000 Issue Accented.

fSSSfOSS
Washington, Jan. 12.-Bids for the
Philippine friar lands bonds were
opened at the war department. The
highest bid for the purchase of the
entire issue of $1,000, 200 was from
Harvey Fiske G Sons, associated with
F1ske Robinson and the National
City Bank. of New York. Their fig
ures for all or none of the bonds were
lO7.577, and for all or any part of the
bonds iO5.57. There were 80 bidders
In all and much higher figures were
offered for small lots of the bonds.
Harvey Fiske e Sons were awarded
the entire issue.
This figure undoubtedly is lower
than the bonds at first were expected
TO bring. 1t was stated at the insular
bureau that the state of the money
market, a general downward tendency
In government securities, and. more
than anything else, certain limitations
placed on. the availability of these
philippine bonds in connection with
their use by banks, which were not
imposed upon preceding issues. un-
doubtedly have acted to keep down the
bids. However, it is stated that the
figure realized was in excess of the es-
Inmates OF some of the Wall street
financiers.

ONE BAPTIST CONFERENCE IN
RICHMOND.
No More DivisiOn-Peace Has Come
TO Stay.

TO Stay.
On last Monday at the Fifth Street
Baptlst Church another step in the
right direction was taken. There have
been three Baptist conferences in the
city of Richmond, but now there is only
one, and the river of peace still flows.
The old and che new conferences met
last Monday to discuss the grounds of
Union. 1t was soon discovered tn I
there was no need for anything except
motion to unite. Thereupon DIR. Per
ry, of the Fifth Baptist Church (Syd-
ney), motioned that the two confer.
ences having met in joint session would
now be resolved into one conference
The motion was carried.
The following officers were eleot-
ed: President, Rev. Archer Ferguson:
Nice-President, Rev. Joseph Perry;
Secretary, Rev, w. T. johnson, D. d. !:
Assistant Secretary, Rev. F. w. Will
hams, B. D.; Treasurer, Bishop Evans
Payne; Corresponding Secretary, Rev.

er, Rev. w. +. Graham A committee
was then appointed to draft a new con-
stitution, whica will be submitted next
Monday morning when the conference
meet at the Fifth Street Baptist Church.
Now that the ministers and churches
are all together again it is expected that
the union will work to the material ad-
vancement ot the colored people of
Richmond and the spiritual advance.
ment of their churches, but it is not on.
ly expected that the influence for good
will be confined to Richmond, but it is
boldly asserted and prophesied that it Is
the beginning of union between the
General Association and the Baptist
State Convention of Virginia, and also
the Lot Cary Convention and the Ma.
tional Baptist Convention; for Rich
mond is undoubtedly the headquarters
of Negro Baptists in America. There
is no other city whose Christian popula-
tion is SO largely Baptist. OF the forty
thousand colored people living in Rich
mond, twenty thousand of therI belong
Co the Baptist churches There is a,so
larger degree of intelligence i'm the
Baptist churches of Richmond than in
any other city where there is lar q
number of colored Baptists. Fifteen of
the colored Baptist pr stors of Richmond
are graduates from excellent institu.
tions of learning and that of itself
places Richmond lar in the lead over
many of our cities
1t is rumored that the Foreign Mis-
sion Board of the National Baptist Con-
vention will soon be returned to Rich
mond. III that is done, the contention be-
tween the two national bodies will be
removed, for the removal of that Board
In 1895 was the cause of the split of the
National Body. Cool headed men, con-
servative and far. seeing are now at
