100 L.vEs LOST IN STORM At SEA.
cross-channeI Steamer Goes on Rocks
on North Coast of France.

London. Nov. 2l.-The Southwest
eln railways cross-channel steamer
Hilda was wrecked yesterday morn
ing off ST. Malo, on the north coast of
France, and it is believed that 100 or
more of her passengers and crew We're
drowned. The Hida left Southamp-
ton Friday night for st. Malo, with
considerably more than 100 sould on
board. Her passage was greatly de-
layed by fog in the channel, and when
nearing St Malo she ran into severe
snow storm, apparently missed her
course, and foundered on the rocks of
Jardin lighthouse, three miles from St.
Malo.
Six Were Rescued.
The compapy's steamer, outward
from ST Malo, rescued five Of the pas
sengers and one of the crew. The
crew numbered 26 and there were
about 100 passengers, the Tajority
being onion dealers from ST. Briae
and neighborhood. A telegram from
st. Servan, adjoining the town of ST.
Malo, gives the few particulars yet
available
Passengers Were Asleep.
The Hilda was near ST. Malo Sun
day morning. She struck the rocks
at O'Clock in the roadstead off Ce-
zambre. having missed the way owing
to fog and bad weather. The passen-
gers were asleep at the time. Two
boats were lowered, one of which, con-
tanning five men, arrived at st. Ser
van. The second boat was picked up
empty at ST. Cast, where thirteen
bodies were washed ashore.
The top of the Hilda's funnel and
her mast are visible at low tide, ac
cording TO telegram from st. Servan.
Exact Loss of Life Unknown.
st. Malo, France, Nov. 21.-The eX-
act number of lives lost on the Hilda
is unknown here. 1t is understood
that there were about 20 first-class
passengers, including several English
people. 1t is known that all the first
class passengers were drowned.
1t appears to be certain that only
six of those on board We're saved

board, including the crew, numbered

through the washing ashore of body
and the port authorities Immediately
sent out a tug. 1t was then learned
that the Hilda was wrecked
On TreacEerous Reef
close to the island of CeZambre, called
LES Portes." She had apparently
struck, broken her back and immedi-
ately sunk, leaving no time to launch
the boats. The, Jardin light is quite
close to the spot. 1t cannot be ex-
planned at what time or how the dis
aster occurred. The entrance to ST
Malo is dangerous, the currents and
rocks needing the exercise of consid-
cradle caution at all times, but more
especially in bad weather. Many
bodies have been washed ashore at
different points, some wearing life
belts.

 Mr Dixon at the time referred to was the pastotr of the Peoples church in New York. pr. ParlShurst had made his first and now famous attack on graft and corruption in political life. The only New York preacher who came to his support was MT Dixon. In a fiery sermon he took up the hht and bitterly arraigned certain corrupt officials. His principal target was the excise commissioner, whom he denounced as a crook. As result he was indicted by the grand jury on the charge of criminal libel and was arrested.
