ern railways cross channel steamer
Hilda was wrecked off St. Malo, on
the north coast of France, and it is
believed that 100 or more or her pas.
sengers and crew were drowned.
The Hilda left Southampton Friday
night for ST.. Malo, with considerably
more than 100 souls on board. Her
passage was greatly delayed by fog
in the channel, and when nearing ST.
Malo she ran into a severe snowstorm,
apparently missed her course and
fOundered on the rocks off Jardin
lighthouse, three miles from st. Malo

ing missed the tide owing II bad wea.
ther and fog.
The majority of the crew and pas.
sengers were asleep at the time. Two
boats were lowered, one of which, con.
tanning five men. arrived at st. Sew.
eran. The second boat was picked up
empty at St. Cast, where 13 bodies
we're washed ashore. The top of the
Hilda's funnel and the top of her
mast were visible at low tide, accord
ing to advices from st. Severan.
The Hilda was built at Glasgow in
1.-2 and registered S4S tons. She
was a screw steamer Of iron construc.
tion and was 235 feet in length.
Mad Scramble Of Passengers.
The shock as she struck awakened
the passengers, who threw themselves
from their berths and rushed on deck
half clad. A mad scramble was made
for the boats, but long before the
frozen ropes could be worked clear
the vessel had broken In pieces and
the shrieks of the drowning were be
ing carried shoreward by the wind.
Captain Alexander was on the
bridge at the time the vessel sank be-
meath the waves and his voice could
be heard above the shrieking OF the
winds ordering the crew to their sta
tions to launch the boats"
A later report says that 1873 persons
lost their lives in the wreck.

Not for Eight Hour Day.

wv WI C'SHk SIOuV Oay.
st. Petersburg. Nov 2l.-The con-
servative leaders in the council OF
workmen are again victorious. At 2:20
O'Clock this morning they carried a
resolution against any attempt to in.
trOduce a movement for an eight hour
day.
Apprehensions that the defeat of
the reds in the council might inspire
them to take violent measures against
the troops or the merchants who re-
fused to close their places Of business
Saturday when ordered by the leaders
were happily without foundation,
though rumors of collisions between
workmen and troops in the Vasilios.
troy and Putiloff districts were in cir.
culation.
The high sounding proclamation
with which the council of workmen
announced the end of the strike. de.
claring that the demonstration" had
served its purpose by saving the lives
of mutineers at Cronstadt, is rrac-
,ically blind to cover their defeat.
Inc trials of the mutineers are still
in progress.
The refusal OF the affiliated Organi.
cations in the interior to respond to
the call, and the revolt of many OF the
better class of workmen here against
the dictation Of political agitators and
walking delegates, by no means repre-
sents the full measure OF the real de.
feat of the strike movement. The
str,Ke, by alternating public sympathy
and opening the eyes OF intelligent
liberals and moderates to the fact that
the first duty of the hour was to stand
by the government in its efforts to
tranquilize she country and to make
head against the tide of socialism and
revolution. which was threatening
Russia with anarchy, aided greatly in
the formation OF the new law and or
der party, which has now sprung into
formidable being.
Eyes on Congress at Moscow.
Interest has now drifted to Moscow,
where the zemstvO congress opened
Saturday. Members of the new party
from all parts Of the country have
gone there to make a fight In the
congress for union OF all the con-
servative and liberal elements to hold
up the hands of Count Witte, to cen
demn the political strike. and to seek
further political salvation through
the doors opened by the manifesto.
though 1t is neither expected nor de-
sired that the constitutional demands
will abjure their program while join.
ing in the movement to aid in the
restoration of tranquility.
The failure OF the strike has shown
the country as whole how little
sympathy there Is with Poland in her
demand for complete autonomy.
