STEAMER WRECKED:
is LIVES LOST
Liner Damara Ran on Rocks on Nova
Scotia Coast in Blizzard.
NINETEEN SURVIVORS LANDED

Halifax, N. S., Feb. s. - During a
raging gale and binding snow storm,
which has swept the Nova Scotia
coast for the past "a hours, the ocean
steamer Damara. of the Furness line,
ran on the rocks at Musquodoboit, 80
miles east of Halifax, and is believed
to have foundered, with the loss Of
10 lives.
The first officer Of the ship, with Is
OF the crew, escaped in one OF the life
boats and landed at Pleasant Point,
after a terrific struggle with wind and
sea- Captain Gorst, master of the Da-
mara, four passengers and tho rest of
the steamers crew left the vessel in
another lifeboat. They have not been
heard of since. and it Is feared that
they have persisted. The occupants of
the boat which reached shore were ut
terly exhausted, and many of them
were badly frost-bitten. They had a
narrowing experience, battling in the
darkness for hours in the open boat
against tempestuous seas on a treach-
erous coast, with the thermometer 10
degrees below zero and an Arctic bliz-
Ldru raging. Iney lanQeQ on SnOre
some time during the day and reached
the telegraph Office at Musquodoboit
Harbor, whence they wired the first
news of the disaster to the agents of
the Furness line at Halifax, to which
port the Damara was bound.
The first officer. r. j. Nuttall. with
1S OF the crew, went off in the first
boat and soon after the second hoat
was put over the side. The captain,
four passengers and the rest of the
crew nc mem entered the boat and
pulled of short distance from the
Damara When they left the steamer
there was IA feet OF water in the hol I
and she was dipped heavily by tae

than any of the previous ones, shut
out their view of the captains boat.
After that they never caught a glimpse
OF the liner, which was then on the
verge OF laundering.
There were "a person aboard, OF
whom four were passengers, one of
the latter being a lady from st. Johns.
N. F. The captain and Ia persons are
missing.
The survivors say that the steamer

was impossible to see ships length

An immeps hole, through which the
sea poured in torrents, was smashed
In the bow of the steamer. The shock
OF the impact awakened every one on
board, and huge breakers swept the
vessel fore and aft. Lifeboats imme-
diately were ordered over the side and
ali hands left the ship.
Tugs were dispatched from this har-
Dor to search for the boat and TO 10

REMARKABLR ENTERPRISES.

THERE is nothing which tends to show
the thrift and enterprise of the colored
people of Virginia more than their atsi-
tude towards the new insurance law,
requiring all insurance companies to de-
posit ten thousand dollars in the treas
ury of the state.
We remember well the time when
they groaned when required to pay an
annual tax Of $500. Now five of them
put mp $4,000 each. an aggregate
amount of fifty-thousand dollars The
wealthy corporations that hoped to force
the smaller concerns to the wall were
much disappointed and the policy h. old
ers in the oolored enterprises now have
as much confidence in the companie
under colored management as they for
merly had in the white insurance com.
panies.
The oolored brother is stronger for
the experience and is satisfied with th,,
the outlook. That it has brought about
q feeling Of self-reliance is evident. Ii
has had tendency too to renew the
ADth SOluc VI bn6 VI GnSS6
colored enterprises in oolored concerns.
1t is rather . peculiar thing to believe.
bat there have been colored officials,
who preached one thing and practiced
another in the matter Of patronizing
colored business firms, They insured
only colored people, but when is came
80 giving out work, they overlooked
and practically ostracised the verv PEG,
pie who gave them life and sustenance.
There are some who are not entirely
converted yet, but the change is taking
place gradually.
We have net as yet met a white
man OF liberal ideas, who was not as.
founded at the short-sighted policy OF
| some of our leaders in business and we
have heard some of them express sur.
prise that these seeming and positive IN.
| constituencies existed among colered
men, who should have known better
The day is breaking, however and we
| anxiously await the dawn of the
morning.

ADD Two new
STATES TO UNION
Senate Passes Bill Admitting okla
homa and New Mexico.
ARIZONA is ELIMINA TED

Washington, Feb. S.-After a con-
tnuous sitting of almost nine hours
the senate passed the joint statehood
bill. AS passed the bill provides for
the admission of the states of Okla
homa. TO be composed of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, and New Mex
leo, according to the present boundar-
les. with Arizona eliminated
The long session was characterized
by exciting incidents and many sur
prises. The senate proceeded to con-
slider the various amendments which
had been suggested by the committee
on territories and which had been
passed over. One Of the first of these
taken up was the amendment prohib-
iting the sale OF intoxicating liquors
in what is now Indian Territory for the
next 10 years, and this was displaced
with a substitute offered by Mr.. Sal-
linger. which extended the amend
ment to the entire state for a period
Of 81 years. and this was adopted.
The senate decided by a vote OF sS
to Sc to entirely eliminate New Mexico
and Arizona from the bill, and this
result had hardly been announced
when Mr.. Bard, in slightly changed
form, renewed his proposition for the
admission of New Mexico as a state,
and this time the amendment pre-
vailed by a vote of 40 to 81. One Of
the affirmative votes was, however,
cast by Mr.. Beveridge, in charge Of
the bill, for the rsrpose OF moving the
reconsideration Of the vote. He was
prompt in entering this motion rs soon
as the result was announced, but the
motion was laid on the table by vote
Of SO to SO. The effect was to eliminate
Arizona from the bill and to establish
a state of New Mexico and another of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. In
this form the bill passed.
The bill originated in the house and
will go to conference.
