HEROES OF THE SEAS

BRAVE CAPTAIN MCDONALD IS LOST.
Thrilling Adventure Of the Crew and Passen.
gers Of the Steamer Sevona, Which Was
Wrecked on Sand IsIand-The Captain and
Six Members of the Crew Volunteered to
Remain With Steamer.

Ashland, Wis. (SpeciaD-More than a
score of lives were lost and property-valu-
ed at half million dollars was destroyed
in furious storm that swept over Lake
Superior from Friday night to Sunday
night, according to reports. The gale
was the most destructive to lake ship
ping that has been experienced in many
years.
Besides the wreck of the steel steamer
Sevona, which broke in two on Sand
Island reef, seven of the crew, including
the captain, losing their lives, the barge
Pretoria, of Bay City, Mich, carrying a
crew of 10 men, sank, five sailors drown
ing.
The schooner Olive Jeanette, which
carried crew of seven men, is also
thought to be lost. The Olive jean
nette, it is believed, went to the bottom
about 10 miles from Portage Entry.
This schooner was in tow of the steamer
D. R. Doty when the latter vessel was
lost, with her entire crew, on Lake
Michigan, few years ago.
The storm of the last three days at
rimes reached the proportions of hur-
ricane, and the staunchest new steel YES
sells were forced to run for shelter. The
new steel steamer Stackhouse arrived at
the 500 on her first trip with her hatch
covers so badly sprung that water poured
continually into the hold. One of the
crew was washed overheard. The whale
back steamer Samuel Mather also lost
one of its crew overheard. The bat
tering sustained by steel steamers gives
rise to the gravest fears for the safety
of many wooden ships which have not
yet reported. The monetary loss of the
Sevona is $4,000, while that of the
Pretoria is $4,000.

TREATY NOW COMPLETE
The Evacuation of Manchuria Causes
Discussion.
JAPANESE TAKING NO CHANCES.
They Insist That All the Russian Forces Along
the Line Of the Eastern Chinese Railroad
That Remains In Russia's Possession Shall
Be Required to Leave Mauchuria at the
Earliest Practical Time.

Portsmouth, N. H. (Specia).- After
two long sessions, the second lasting
until late at night, the treaty OF peace
between Russia and Japan was completed
in rough form. The work of engrossing
on parchment will be entrusted to ex-
pert penmen from the Department OF
State in Washington.
The air had been full of rumors all
day of differences between the ENJOYS
over the articles relating to the division
of Sakhalin Island and the evacuation
of Manchuria. But those who are in
timately concerned in the conferences
insisted that there was no danger that
the negotiations would fail.
While the completed treaty will be
cabled to St. Petersburg and Toxic, the
reports of both nations indicate that
there is no occasion to wait until formal
approval comes from the Gar and the
Mkado before the plenipotentiaries may
afix their signatures.
The japanese admit that they have
not had the Mikado's approval of the
agreement reached on last Tuesday, but
painly intimate that thas is not necessary
to permit Baron Komura and MIR. Taxa
hira becoming signatories of the conven-
ton. Mr.. Takahira, for Japan, and Mr..
Martens and Mr.. Plancon, for Russia,
declared that there was no danger of any
hitch.
The points of difference regarding
Sakhalin Island were harmonized. The
Russian ENJOYS having agreed that the
northern part of the island, which Rus
STA will retain, should not be fortified,
this having been insisted upon by the
Japanese who were required by the
terms of the agreement to erect no guns
on the southern part of the island, the
only remaining feature of the SAX
hahn article relating to the rights of
Russian property holders and residents in
the portion of the island which will be-
come Japan's, were quickly adjusted.
The provision forbidding the Japanese
to erect Notifications overlooking La
Perouse Straits is very explicit and will
make it impossible for Sakhalin to be
used as war base for Japanese fleet
or for the matter of that, for Russian
feet.
Under the agreement reached the
troops of both beligerents are to retire
from their present position in Man
churia Immediately upon the proclama-
ton of the peace treaty, the Russian to
Hardin and the japanese to Mukden- Sub
sequently the complete withdrawal from
Chinese territory of the troops of both
armies will be carried out in accordance
with provisions set forth in the treaty.
Upon the insistence of Japan, all Rus
sian forces along the line of that part
of the Eastern Chinese Railroad which
will remain in Russia's possession will
be required to leave Manclruria at the
earliest practicable moment. The treaty
as agreed upon will provide the exact
number of railway guards which both
Russia and Japan may retain for the
purpose of protecting their rolling stock
and trackage in Manchuria.

DIAMONDS FOUND IN MAINE.
More Gems Supposed to Be Hidden 10 Beds Of

The diamonds found at Freyburg were

FIFTY KILLED IN RIoTIN0.
Situation at Baku, caucasia. Is Extremely
Grave.

St. Petersburg, (SpeciaD Dispatches
received by the Ministry of the Inter
ior estimate that so persons were killed
during the fighting at Baku, Caucasia,
last Saturday, with relatively large
number of wounded, the majority of

dispatches report that corpses are lying
about the streets and that incendiary fires
have already destroyed ISL buildings and
are. still spreading.
Both factions, after the former dis
orders, supplied themselves fully with
arms, and they are now almost as we'll
equipped for street fighting as the troops.
The situation not only at Baku, but also
throughout the Caucasus, has been ex-
ceedingly tense for weeks.
The disorders at Shusha had just
ceased when the street-car strike at Baku
furnished the occasion for another OUT
break.
A private dispatch from Baku reports
sanguinary encounters between troops
and the Armenian employees of the street
railroads whose positions had been taken
by soldiers. The disorders commenced
at about P. M. Saturday, the Armen-
ians firing first on the soldiers on board
the cars. Eight Mussulmans, three Ar
menians and one Russian were killed.
The encounters continued until A. M.
Sunday.
Advices from Baku say that the firing
was resumed Sunday, the Tartars at
lacking the troops with greater despera-
tion. Thus far the killed or wounded,
according to these advices, exceeded 100
Prince Nisheradzee was wounded.
