stantly and Many Perish.

Ship, Through Which the Water
Rushes in Great Volume.

San Francisco, July 23.-The latest
reports indicate that ninety-seven per
sons persisted by the sinking of the
steamer Columbia in the collision with
the steam schooner San Pedro of the
Mendicino coast An official of the
San Francisco and Portland Steam
ship company says the unfortunate
vessel carried 1877 passengers and
crew of GO, making total OF 257
souls on board OF this number
100 have been accounted for.
The collision occurred at midnight.
when all on board save the lookout
and officer on the bridge were asleep
in their berths. The Columbia was
steaming north at an easy rate. Sud
denly out of the fog doomed the dark
hulk of the steam schooner San Pc
dro, southbound, which was evidently
blown and frantic efforts made by the
he!msman Of each vessel to avoid the
collision, but they were of no avail
The San Pedro struck the Columbia
on the port bow, tearing an immense
hole In her side, through which the
water rushed in great volume. Alarms
were sounded throughout the passen-
ger ship and the terrified passengers
scrambled from their staterooms In
an effort to escape from the doomed
vessel, which sank within eight min
utes. Six boats and three liferafts
were cut loose and as many passen-
gers as possible were crowded into
them. There was scarcely any evil
dence OF panic, the women act
ing with heroism. The crew of the
San Pedro Immediately lowered a
boat and picked up a large number
of survivors, while the boats from the
Columbia lay by the San Pedro. AS
far as known seventy-four people
went down with the Columbia when
the vessel sank. Several others per
ished from exposure and exhaustion
Shelter cove, where the collision oc-
CURED, is 179 miles up the coast from
San Francisco. The Columbia was
steel vessel of 1,746 tons and was
800 feet in length, 3S.5 feet beam and
14.1 feet in depth She carried crew
of seyenty-four men under Captain p.
A. Doran, who had been master of
the vessel for the past five years.
During the earthquake and fire the
Columbia was lying at the drydock of
the Union iron works and the shock
loosened some of her blocks with the
result that the vessel was capsized.
But she was entirely refitted and
when she left here she carried a full
list Of passengers, nearly 200.

CATTLE RATES

COMMERCE COMMISSION TAKES
UP STOCK SHIPMENT CASE.
Inquiry into Management and Trade
sEArransements of the Hartman Lines
To Be Taken Up Next BY the Com
mission.

Chicago, Jan. S.--Inquiry into the
management and trade arrangements
of the Hartman lines was not taken
up at the first session of the Interstate
/ Commerce commission today. 1t was
announced, however, by Chairman
Knapp of the commission that 1t would
in all probability be called UP later in
the day. Business before the board at
the opening session was the question
of cattle rates and charges at Chicago
on shipments of stock
Chester NJ Dawes of the Burlington
road, declared that it was not possible
for him to furnish certain statistics
regarding the shipments which had
been requested by Attorney Cowan,
representing the Texas Cattle Growers
association. Cowan declared that other
roads had furnished these figures and
! 1t should be possible for the Burlington
road to do the same.
The matter was dropped after some
debate. 1t is expected that the inquiry
into the management of the Hartman
| lines will be in connection with the
TRAFFIC arrangements and that the
Financial side of the question will not
be taken up.

Enshrouded in Deep Mystery.

Portland, Ore, Jan. s.-The murder
in this city last night of DR.. Phillip
Edwards Johnson, a physician who re-
Gently arrived from New York, is one
of the most mysterious tragedies that
ever has occurred in the northwest.
DR.. Johnson came to Portland with his
bride two months ago to establish his
home here and to practice his profess
sion
The couple bought site for a beau
tiful home in the fashionable section.
Mrs. Johnson, before her marriage last
fall, was Mrs. Scarborough of Cincin-
natl O. She is the daughter of form
er Governor Hoadley of Ohio. DIR.
Johnson is the son of Episcopal Arch
Deacon Johnson Of Staten Island, and
a graduate of Columbia university.
Shortly after dining with his wife
last night, DR.. johnson announced his
intention of visiting DIR. Panton, one
of the examining board by which he
was to have been examined for admis-
sion to practice in this state against
the protestations of his wife, who fear
led highwaymen. On his way DIR. john

Captain Bruin Of the police depart

yet, according to his statements te
newspaper men, he does not belize thai
johnson was robbed, but insinuates his
belief OF the murder with some motive
more sinister than robbery.

trow of Silver Springs, who says that
he displayed the white signal for the
guidance of the crew of the equipment
train, and Engineer Hildebrand of the
dead train, who testifies that he was
given a double green light at silver
Springs.

substantiated by every member OF the

orator Dutrow is corroborated by only
one witness, ]. Trundle, an aged helper
at the Silver Springs station. The in
vestigation may not be concluded until
