Victoria, B. c., Dsc. 28.-The
British bark Pass of Melfort, Cap
tain CougalI, from Ancon for Pu-
get Sound, drove ashore on the
rocks of Vancouver Island a quar-
ter a mile east of Amphritrite Point
last night, and all on board were
lost. The vessel was making for
the entrance to the Straits, when
the terrific northwest gale drove
her to lee shore on Vancouver
Island, and the doomed ship drove
with terrific force onto the rocks,
breaking up soon afterward.
Bodies of the lost seamen are now
coming ashore. The first body re-
covered was that of an able seaman
dressed in oilskins and overalls.
Two more were seen afterward,
rolling in the heavy surf, but could
not be recovered. A number Of
ships buckets, all marked "Pass
of Melfort," were found on the
beach, and not far away in small
bay at the extremito of Amphri-
trite Point, which marks the west
erly entrance to Barclay sound, the
ships barometer, broken boats, oars
and the fgurehead Of the wrecked
bark, came ashore, together with
other wreckage. Two spars were
visible to watchers from shore, wash
Ing about as though held by other
submerged wreckage.
A torn piece of paper. which
seems like part of the logbook of

Encounters with the strikers
in the euburbs have lately caused
the death or injury of several hun
dred victims. The chief city sur
geon, M. Rosen, says he examined
the wounded aud killed and found
among them many school boys and
young girls. This fact affords fur.
ther proof of the cruelty of the Co.'S
sacks.
The general strike is developing
from day today. Many workmen
are waiting until next Monday,
when they will receive their holiday
pay before striking. From that
time the strike, it is asserted, will
be strictly enforced, telegraph wire
being cut and railway bridges blown
up to prevent communication.
The government is asserting that
the revolutionary movement is for
eign and anti-patriotic, this having
obliged the revolutionists to begin
operations in Moscow, which Is ex
clusively Russiao, instead Of in
towns of mixed population where
success mi ght have been gained
more easily. The government or
gans Insist that the revolution is
dl6nitely crushed and that the gen.
eral strike is failure. These claims
have EN- mbittered the revolutionists
and made them eager to demon.
strate their power in bloody en-
counters.
1t is the general opinion among
the liberals that, if Count Witte
overcomes the strikers, Russia's lib
erty will be gone, because the czar
will never give free government vol
UNFAIRLY. Before the October man
ifesto Count Witte helped on the
revolution in order to obtain power,
but now he is against it and against
the grant of further liberties in or.
der that he may stay in Office.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-In contrast to
the general belief of the laymen that
the beef trust-dictator of the price
Of the worlds meat supply-is on
trial in the federal court in Chica-
go; the real facts are that the gov
eminent itself is on trial. By a
strategic move the packers have
turned and placed the government
on trial and temporarily escaped
themselves.
The beef combine have made
charges against the legislature,
against Federal Commissioner of
Corporations, James R. Garfisld,
against the United States attorney
general and against the president
himself. 1t has filed special pleas
accusing the government of having
promised its packers immunity. if
they would open their books and
lead Mr. Garfield to discover wheth-
er or rot there was a beef trust. 1t
has accused Mr.. Garfield of having
turned the evidence hs secured from
the packers into the grand jury's
hands to be used ip indicting the
trust members. Sa
A jury has been selected out of
venire of 148 Illinois farmers to try
the government on these charges.
If the jury decides the government
to be guilty as charged, the packers
will 60 free. Under snch circum-
stances they cannot be prosecuted
even though they have violated the
law by conspiring to regulate the
prices of the worlds beef supply.
The constitution provides that a
man cannot be compelled to testify
against himself.
This, in brief, is the exact and
amazing status of the beef trust
cases in the United States district
court in Chicago.
It is not the construction given,
however, either by the attorneys
tor prosecution or defense. It is the
status found to exist by examining
mass of legal documents and sit
ting through days session.
The fight is undoubtedly one of
the greatest legal battles of its kind
that ever occurred in the United
States.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The
battle in Moscow is still raging, the
victory being undecided. Consid-
erable reinforcements for the revo-
lutionists have arrived from the
neighboring districts of Yaroslav,
Vladimir and Tamboy. The loyal
troops government now in Moscow
number 5000 cavalry and Cossacks
while the infantry regiments there
incline towards the revolutionists.
The. number of killed and wound
ed in the fighting thus far exceeds
10000. The artillery and fires
lighted by the revolutionists have
destroyed many blocks of houses,
and 1t is feared that Moscow will
be involved in a conaagration be-
fore the present struggle is over.
Members of the government are
reported to believe, from informa-
tion which has reached them, that
the Moscow affair is only demon
stration, and that the decisive bat
tie with the revolutionists Is to be

San Francisco, DEC. 22.-Lewis
E. Aubrey, state mineralogist, said
today:
"The mber.land frauds exposed
in Washington and Oregon are pet
ty compared with similar frauds
now being carried on in California.
Hundreds of thousands hf acres of
timber and richest mineral lands in
the state are being seized by the
timber grabbers. If it Is exempt
from entry as timber lands, they
file mineral location notices on it,
take out patent later and thus
forever shut out the prospector and
miner. When it is open to entry
they file timber locations and swear
the land is non-m;neral, even where
it is known to be rich in minerals.
I know of timber grabbers Cling on
land and swearing il was non-min-
eral when there were stamp mills
crushing gold ore on the same land
at the time the timber location was
fled"
Mr.. Aubrey says that he will
consult with the United States dis
trict attorney and that charges
against a number of prominent
men may be presented before the
federal grand jury.

by Judge Steele in q few days.
The case Of Funk vs. Libby, of
Cottonwood was heard Monday,
and the court sustained the dem nr.
ers which knocked out the case.
Thirty days were asked in which
to prepare . new case. This action
virtually ends the case.
In the case Of Greving vs.. Stone
the case was continued for the
term. This was TO collect about
$500 for goods sold a married
woman.
The most important civil case Ol
the calender was commenced last

interest owing to the facs that i,

liable mining interests of thii
country. The evidence was com.
pleted Wednesday and the cast
