Alicante, Spain, Aug. 6.-The cap
tain of the French steamer Marie
Louise, which has arrived here from
Cartagena, relates having witnessed

point close to that vessel. He says
he was remarking to his mate upon
the dangerous course the SiriO was
taking when the Italian steamer go
ing ahead at full speed suddenly stop
ped and her bow was seen to lift. The
Marie Louise changed her course and
went toward the Sirio. At this mo-
ment there was heard a loud explo-
sion as the boilers of the Sirio burst.
Shortly after this dead bodies began
to float by the French steamer and
those on board could hear the shrieks
OF the drowning people. The Marie
Louise launched a boat and picked up
SO persons.

Cartagena. Spain. Aug. 6.-Rerorts
continue to arrive here of the terrible
scenes attending the wreck on Satur-
day evening off Hormigas island or
the Italian steamer SiriO, from Genoa.
Aug. >, via Barcelona and other ports
for Buenos Ayres, resulting in the
loss of over 300 lives.
The drowning Of the bishop of Sac
PaulO, Brazil, is attributed TO the &C
ton of an Argentine passenger, who
forcibly took from the bishop life
belt with which the latter had pro
vided himself One Italian woman
kept her three children af1Oat on a
plank until they were all picked up.
A bridegroom who was on his
honeymoon lost his wife and sister,
and one Old man who was saved lost
three children. Captain Giuseppe
Paradi, commander of the SiriO, was
62 years old, and had % years expert
ence in navigation.
The Sirio is considered a total loss.
Her captain is said to have formerly
commanded the Perseus, which sank
off Cartagena. A number of bodies of
the drowned were buried. Ten of the
rescued passengers died after being
brought to shore. The survivors say
the SiriO sank with extreme rapidity.
Many of the passengers were on deck
as the steamer disappeared. The
boats were so overcrOwded that a
number of them Immediately cap
sized, throwing their occupants into
the water.
Quantities of food and clothing for
the survivors are arriving here. A
relief fund has already reached a
large sum. The survivors are quar-
tered in the theaters, hospitals and
clubs, the poorer classes of the in
habitants of Cartagena rivalling each
other in assisting the ship wrecked
people.
The SiIio struck a rocky reef
known as BajOs Hormigas and sank
soon after, stern first. HOrmigas is
land lies about two and a half miles
to the eastward of Cape Palos. There
was the widest panic, men tramplin g
women and children to death. The
Sirio was owned by the Navigazione
Italiana of Genoa.
Before he committed suicide the
captain declared the steamer had CAS-
passengers on board and that her
crew numbered 1877 men. The Sirio
had $40 passengers when leaving
Genoa, but additional Spanish pas
sengers were taken on board at Bar
celona, where the vessel touched a
few hours before the disaster. The
government has issued instructions
that every possible measure for relief
of the stricken people shall be taken.
The naval authorities have opened
an inquiry into the wreck Of the Ital-
ian steamer Sirio. In the meantime
the officers will be detailed at Carta.

WHIT DOES OREGON
ELECTION SHOW?
John E. Lath.op Thinks Re-
suit Demands Tariff
Revision.
aRosyEsoR THINKS NOT
Analysis of the Vote Discussed From
Democratic Viewpoint Shows
Heavy Gains.

John z. Lathrop, member of the
Democratic National Congressional
Committee. doesn't agree with the an
alysis of the recent election returns in
Oregon by which some Republicans have
figured out that Oregon has repudiated
the tariff issue. Mr.. Lathrop said last
night:
THE Hon. Charles H. Grosvenor In
the House of Representatives the other
day asserted in substance that the eIee-
tion this year in Oregon was proof that
the people there were not demanding
alteration of the tariff schedules. These
are the facts:
-Four years ago in the last previous
general State election the Republican
State ticket received an average major
ity OF 1900. excepting for governor. the
Democrats electing George z. Cham
berlain- That same year Thomas Ton
que. Republican. had nearly 5000 ma
jority IN the First Congressional dis
trict; in the Second district. J. n. Will
hanson, Republican, received 1900 ma
Jority.
Republican Majorities Large.
1T will be seen that the Congressional
candidates received a majority that
the State candidates received; there was
no special agitation OF the tariff ques-
tion.
This year the average majority Of
Republican over Democratic State can
didates was $500, nearly twice that Of
1902, excepting that Chamberlain was
reelected. In the second Congressional
district the campaign was made by both
~
tariff. and the Republican candidate.
Judge w r. Ellis, received 1876 ma
jOrity over Graham, Democrat.
In the first district. however Gallo
way, Democrat. raised the tari ffTevisiOn
issue in his opening speech, and in all
later addresses ana in thousands of let
terS sent through the mGti- pressed it.
His opponent, W G. Hawley, resisted
Galloway's contentious throughout the
entire campaign, and the result was
that Hawley was elected with a ma
1ority Of only $3.50. This was a reduc-
ton of 50 per cent In the Republican
Congressional majority in that district,
in the face OF nearly 100 per cent in
crease in the average majority for the
State candidates Of the Republicans.
Democratic Gains Heavy.
In the popular vote for United States
Senator. under the new primary nomi-
rating law. Jonathan Bourne. jr., Re-
publican, had only 3.I66 majority over
john NJ. Gearin. Democratic incumbent,
appointed TO succeed the late John H.
Mitchell This was little more than 10
per cent Of the average Republican ma
1ority on State offices, excepting, as be-
fore. the vote on governor.
1T would appear from these figures
that, inteligently read, they do not
prove that the Oregon Commonwealth IS
1uttering in the breeze as q straw TO in
dicate that the political air currents are
not moving toward tariff revision OBJ
ViOusly, the trend of sentiment in Ore
gon is toward revision of the schedules
of the Dingley law"
