Rotterdam, Feb. 21.-The Great

aground and breaking up. One hun
dred sixty passengers and all of the
crew are reported drowned.
The Berlin was bound from Har-
wich, England, to Rotterdam, and
was wrecked on a sand bank outside
Rotterdam harbor The loss of life
il estimated at 161. People ashore
saw the vessel strike, but thought
size would be able to ride safely until
the ST, rm would permit boats to go
to the rescue. Tremendous seas
washed over the vessel and she began
breaking up Immediately. Several
Americans are reported lost.
TIL passengers rushed to the deck
AT the first shock and the waves
hurled them into the sea Immediately.
1t was impossible for life boats to
live in the sea, and aid from the land
was cut off.
full list of dead can never he
known. Great Eastern officials say
the passenger list was lost with the
ship. \ German opera company re-
turning from an engagement in Lon

1t is estimated that nearly 5000
head of cattle and many hundred
hec5 of sheep have been shipped
from the Echo country in the past
few weeks, most of which We're
brought in from the Butter creek and
Meadows country. Much of this stock
was held over by the buyers for many
days until cars could be received, and
now that the traffic tie-up is some
what relieved. IL number of cattle
cars are being brought in.
]. c. I.onergan for Frye -Bruhn, and
Benson for the Union Meat company,
say that the loss has been quite heavy
to them on account of having to hold
the stock over after it was purchased
awaiting the shipment of cars
Nevertheless the buyers are pleased
with the stock, and 1t is expected that
from 80 to 40 loads will go out from
here in the next few days.
3h" Butter Creek ranchers state
that feed has been plentiful, and
stock IS in first. class condition. The
Price received is $4.12 1-2 per 100.
This is considered one of the best
cattle sections in the state of Oregon.

New York, Feb. 21.-Tne trial room
filled rapidly today. Evelyn's appear
ance did not indicate that she had any
great fear of an awaiting ordeal. She
had gained courage by ner success
Wednesday. Jerome preceded all
other lawyers and entered smilingly,
and confident. Thaw entered carry
ing bunch of newspaper clippings of
the previous days proceedings, and for
the first time since his arrest, called
the newspaper men to discuss the
case. He merely protested against
an article this morning commenting
on Evelyn's forgetfulness. IT'S not
exactly just to her. you know" he
said. "She had little to do with
drawing our funds from the trust
, company"
After brief consultation of attor-
neys on both sides with the court, it
was announced court would adjourn
this afternoon until the afternoon Of
Washington's birthday, but the trial
will probably not be resumed before
Monday. Evelyn's replies were more
certain than yesterday. Jerome read
the record of the examination yes
! terday to the effect that Evelyn be-
lieved all women bad until she was
1874 years old and until she talked
with Thaw after refusing him on ac-
count sof her unworthiness.
Did you ever hear of the Dead
Rat?" asked Jerome. Yes, it's a cafe
in Paris" Were you ever there"
not know" Were you ever there?"
Yes"
ID Jerome questioned her further about
the cafe and Evelyn said she had
one Russian dance and there may
have been a cake walk.
The witness said Shubert and an
other theatrical manager were with
her and Thaw at the Dead Rat. She
believed some women were with
Shubert.
Jerome, reading, evidently from
Thaw's letters, asked: do you know
what's meant by May of bunch on
tenderloin?'" Think 1 do" said
the witness.
Evelyn broke down and wept while

Jerome handed Evelyn a letter from

She identified 1t as such.
when you were in Paris after
Thaw's proposal, had your opinions
changed?" Yes; I had known peo-
pie thought 1t wrong. but l suspected
all women"
Further questions brought the ad-
mission that when in Paris with Thaw
she had no religious belief, not even
in the existence of a divine being. She
said while living at Pittsburg she
neither attended Sunday school nor
church, and said> that before leaving
Paris she had come to full realiza-

At the council meeting last night
a ! o'clock saloon closing ordinance
was passed and it is now in force,
having been signed by the mayor i'm
mediately after adjournment.
The measure was evidently intro
duced at the instance of the mayor
and police department, and it is in
line with the recent efforts of the
department to cleanse the city of
undesirable characters, After the
measure had hcen read the mayor
spoke in explanation of it, saying that
it was aimed at the undesirable class
of people-stOol pigeons-who
never go to bed, hut instead hang
around the saloons all night long"
After the ordinance had been read
It was referred to ordinance commit

wrong White had done to her; that
every womanly instinct was shocke 1
by the realization.
Delmas and Jerome had a lively tilt
over what Delmas described as a sneer
in Jerome's tone as he questioned
Evelyn as to what prompted Evelyn's
renunciation of Thaw's love. Jerome
exclaimed, There is no sneer. II all
depends whether the story is true. If
true, there can be no aneer, for ]
never heard its equal"
Jerome resuming the examination,
asked, WAS your reason for renornc-
ing Thaw's proposal merely because
of the feeling that you we're u''wor-
thy?" at was because l was found
out" said Evelyn, changing her tack
from that of the day before when she
said it was because she was unworthy.
"Who told you you had ben found
out?" white" when did you first
realize the extent of the wrong done
you by White?" "When Thaw tolr!
me-"
Evelyn said she quarreled with
White because after Thaw opened her
eyes she first realized what the archi-
tect's treatment meant to her.
Jerome questioned her closely about
why she wrote White from Bologne
She said her mother coerced her to
write. and that Whites extraordinary
personality had a fascinating effect
upon her. Her mother did not know
of the wrongs.
The name of the man Evelyn met
in the studio was not made public
Jerome was given it in whisper, and
said he would call private examina-
ton to establish the date.
The prosecution was relentless to
draw from Evelyn the statement she
went to Whites studio within a mo1th
after her ruination, continuing rela-
tions with White until the first ~
1902. But it was always against hel
will. she insisted.
When Jerome demanded the details
of the first occasion after the origina

lace with her handkerchief and cried
and sobbed. Jerome was disarmed
