Wrecking Vessel Disap-

1T WAS TOWING ANOTHER
WHEN LAST SEEN THE VESSEL
APPEARED TO BE DRIFTING
INTO THE OPEN LAkE-A
STORM WAS RAGING.

Bayfield,, Wis, Dec. 15.-The steam-
er Ireland, from which the crew was
removed yesterday afternoon, is today
reported to have sunk near Sand
Island. No news is yet available from
the wrecking steamer, Manistique,
which had thirty-one men aboard and
which has been missing since last ev-
ening when the Ireland was abandon-
ed. The Manistique and a tug had been
towing the Ireland to Duluth for re-
pairs. The Manistique when last
seen, was apparently drifting out to
the open lake and seemed disabled as
she made no response to distress sig
nails from the Ireland. The wind was
blowing gale at the time and the
thermometer was 10 below zero.

RAILROADS TO RETALIATE.
Mo Reduced Rates In the 2-cent Fare
States.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-"No reduced rates
for conventions In states which have
passed Q cents a mile laws" is the
motto adopted by the railroads in the
Central Passenger association. This
new policy was rigidly observed at the
regular monthly meeting of the asso-
citation held yesterday. Scores of ap-
plications from various organizations
for reduced rates for their conven-
tions were rejected because the meet
ings were all to be held in Ohio, Mich
igan and New York.
The association even refused to grant
the customary rate Of "a fare and one
third for round trip which is practi-
cally cents mile each way
For such big events as the reunion
Of the Grand Army OF the Republic
annual meetings of the National Edu-
cational association and OF the Young
Peoples Society of the Christian en-
deavor, the railroads probably will con-
tinue to make important reductions In
rates.

soft, ex-governor general of Moscow,
was made this afternoon, but he es-
capped with slight injuries. Dubassoff
was driving at | p. m. in Serglyewska-

palace, when two men hurled a bomb
al his carriage 1t exploded with great
force, but only slightly wounded the
admiral. The would-be assassins were
arrested.
Doubassof had remarkable escape.
The terrorists made a very determined
attack upon him. One man approach
ed the admiral and fired several shots
at him with a revolver, but missed.
The terrorists then threw a bomb at
Doubassoff which exploded and wound
ed the admiral in the leg. bystand-
er seized the admiraPs assailant where
upon a second terrorist appeared and
went through exactly the same per-
formance. The second bomb, however,
did not explode and Doubassoff, al
though injured, closed with the terror
ist and held him until he was taken
into custody.

California Game.

Sacramento, Cal, Dec 15.-There
was an important convention of sports
men and persons interested in the pro-
lection of game in this state here to-
day for the purpose of securing united
and intelligent action regarding legis-
lation to be asked for during the COM
ing session Of the legislature. A num-
Der of fish and game commissioners
were in attendance, and from remarks
made by Alden Anderson, lieutenant
governor, 1t appears that owing to the
extremely lax enforcement OF the fish
and game laws, there is a very seri-
Gus diminution in the quantities OF
both fish and game. Resolutions were
passed calling for the absolute enforce
ment of the existing laws and point
ing out how they could be SO amend
ed as to make them more stringent.

The Army Short Of Men.

Washington, Dec, 15,-The army en-

Notwithstanding late changes and in
ducements. The elaborate defenses of
Newport and Narragansett bay and
other works upon which millions of
dollars were expended during the past
few years, are left chiefly in the care
of watchmen and there can be no doubt
but that In case of emergency the gov
ernment would have to rely on in
experienced men to handle their equip
ment 1t is stated that the heads OF
the war department will issue a report
on the subject in a few days.

ANOTHER REPORT.
Mate Of One Ship Tells How the Man
istique Disappeared.

Ashland, Wis, Dec. 15.-No trace
has been found of the missing steamer
Manistique, which disappeared In the
darkness off Sand Island at o'clock
last night. There was only one small
boat at Bayfield, to send out and that
is the tug Crosby, which figured In a
sensational rescue of the Ireland. The
Crosby suffered injuries by humping
into the Ireland and was leaking badly.
1t has been patched up and will be
sent out about as far as it is safe, but
the seas are too rough to allow 1t to
venture out far beyond the island.
Captain Minskey of the Ireland will
be in charge of the searching expedi-
tion.
of the Ireland said:
1--WE were forced TO turn In heavy
sea, as 1t was about o'clock. The
Manistique was towing us and the tug
Crosby was following. Suddenly the
tow line broke and caught in our
wheel and the sea broke over the rud-
der. We then fell into the trough of
the sea. The sea washed everything
loose overheard, including the air COM
pressor, which was all that kept us
afioat. We blew distress signals. but
the Manistique had disappeared in the
darkness. We never knew what hap
pened to her, and never saw her again.
The tug Crosby came to our rescue.
She came to us on the lee side. Watch
man Andy Dollon jumped, but disap-
peared in a boiling sea.
The Crosby circled around us and
came back again and two more sea-
men, WIheelsman Zimmerman and Oil
er Shoreman, jumped. Zimmerman
struck his head on the deck and cut
scious condition.
Shoreman struck the deck of the
Crosby and broke leg and an arm.
The Crosby was thrown against the
Ireland and badly injured but stood
by us until the entire crew, with the
exception of Andy Dillon, was saved.
Then we bucked heavy seas, and af-
ter terrible struggle in the small
tug succeeded in getting into the
shelter of the Island. Every mans
clothing was frozen on him. We do
not expect to learn of the fate Of the
Manistique before tomorrow.
The two injured seamen are at the
hospital here, and are in very seri-
Gus condition. Nearly every member OF
the crew was frozen more or less. The
thermometer registered 10 degrees be-
low zero last night and the members
OF the rescuing crew were exposed to
the storm and the intense cold with
their clothing wet through and frozen
for five hours.

AGED Woman pea d.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 15.-Jane Halpln,
who died in the House of the Good
Shepherd here few days ago. was
born in Ireland and had a distinct
recollection of the battle of Waterloo
and the great excitement prevailing in
Ireland at that time. When Daniel
OConnell, the great Irish patriot, was
in the zenith of his career over
eighty years ago., Mrs. Halpin was
a young woman of 20 and not only
heard O'Connell addressing meetings
OF Irish peasantry, but spoke to him
herself. She was in Ireland during the
great famine years of 1882 and used
to give narrowing pictures of terrible
sufferings of the people. She was de-
scribed by the nuns as sweet old
dear" and was most devout woman

Berlin. Dec. 15.--The relations be-
tween Japan and the United States are
being discussed with interest here in
government and diplomatic circles. 1t
is believed the Russians more resolute
position against Japan's request for
trade and colonist rights ON the Amur
river and other privileges, is due to
the discussion Of the California school
question. The German military offi-
GERS discuss the possibilities of war
between Japan and the United States.
1t was known here in June that the
British admiralty considered war be-
tween the United States and Japan
likely within twenty five years and
some naval men set the time at five
years.

N. p. STOCK INCREASE.
There Is to Be Boost of $95,oo0, 900
for Needed improvements.

New York, Dec. 15.--The expected
financial plan of the Northern Paci-
fic Railway Co. was made public last
night. 1t provides for an increase Of
capital stock from $155, 100000, the
present amount, to $250,000,0O0.
The reasons for making this issue
are set forth in circulars to the stock
holders which explain that the rapid
growth of the population and develop
ment of business in the territories
covered by the system have taxed the
capacity of the line and made advis-
able the extension of the company's
mileage and facilities.
