captain and crew of about sixteen men,
Is thought to have foundered in a ter

that on Friday about 5 p. m. a large
steamer supposed to be the Turbin

coast of the province, backed off in a
few minutes and then disappeared in
the raging sea. Persons on the island
who saw the steamer strike on the

graphic description of the disaster.
Owing to the rough sea, together with
a thick snow Storm. the captain of the

the rocks for the st. Malo lighthouse.
He gave signals which were not seen
by harbor employees and then the
steamer proceeded slowly towards the
light. When the Hilda struck tho rocks
the steamers boilers exploded and she
was cut In two, giving the passengers
no time to save their lives. Seven
bodies wearing lifebelts were stranded
off the village of St. Cast. The coast
aear st. Malo is covered with wreck
age and some cattle. Two-thtrds Of tho
Hilda's passengers were French farm
ers returning to France with heavy
sums in gold from the sale Of their
yearly harvest of onions and potatoes.
The others were English families who
were going to spend the winter at
Dinard. The wreck lies on the beach
three miles off St. Malo, showing only
her main mast and forecastle.

Washington, Nov. 1s.-The board Of
consulting engineers of the isthmian

by large majority in favor of . sea
Level canal.
The conclusion was reached after q
long and careful study of the project
Since the beginning of September the

government.
From the beginning it was evident
shat majority of the members was in
favor of a sea level canal. Their point
Of view was that, even if it cost more
chan lock canal and would take
longer in the building, it would ulti-
mately be of greater use a. it will

other hand there was minority which
wanted to see the canal built In as
short time as possible and with the
east cost, declaring that few hours
,nger for the trip through the isthmus
made little or no difference. One of
re members gave this explanation for
is way of voting:
1T may be that several of us will

That is the way our party thought

Your failure to call the committee

the confusion in the pubic NINA

in the state have already ordered seha
torial primaries. and if you persist IN
refusing to heed this sentiment, an
arbitrarily shift the responsibility on
to the shoulders of the next convention
or the new committee which IL snali
create, then there is only one alterna
tive and that is for the democratic
committees of the various counties 10
Tennessee to follow Benton ana Ferry

The call of the chairman for a meet

R.R, ASSESSMENT
MUCH TOO LOW
Officials Value Property in City
at Sis, $500 in Spite of Re-
cent Extensive Improve
mentS.
Mr.. SMISER APPEARS BE-
FORE RAILROAD COM
MISSION.

City Attorney Smiser spent Friday
In Nashville, appearing before the
Railroad Commission for The purpose Of
having the assessment of railroad prop
erty within the corporate limits of 90
lumbia increased. The new passenger
depot and other improvements just
completed by the L & n. were supposed
to have cost in the neighborhood OF
500, 000, and when the city was asked to
donate some $4,000 towards the work
the statement was made that about
100000 in Improvements would be
made here and that the revenue derived
from the increased valuation in the prop
erty would soon repay this $40 600.
When the L. ~. n. was asked for a
valuation of their property here, how
ever, for assessment purposes they
placed the total valuation at $lS 800
The new depot, builG at cost of about
$40 00J, the railroad people value to the
Railroad Commissioners at SO 600. The
depot grounds of three and one half
a res they value at modest $3.50, when
my 50xl00 foot lot on the grounds
would doubtless bring this amount
The Pump Factory grounds Of 10
acres is valued by the railroad at $3.50.
when it would doubtless De snapped up
IN day at ten or fifteen times this
amount.
The valuations were referred to Judge
w. O. Gordon and he thought them too
low, but still seems TO have dealt more
kindly with the railro I'd than rcum
stances justify He increased the Nalde
of the $40 600 depot from $50 900 to $50,
600 and raised the assessment on the
valuable depot grounds from $3.50 to
$50, and upon the Pump Factory
grounds from $500 to $500 making the
total assessment S23 go.
1t Gao be easily seen that the
assessment is out Of all reason and 1t
looks as if the Railroad Commission
could be easily made TO see this, yet Mr.,
Smiser got small comfort from the com
mission for some cause or other and IN
tertains small hopes of having tb- as
sessmcnt increased.
