EMPRESS OF CHINA SINKS.
Crack Oriental Liner Resting on Mud
at Vancouver.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 24.-The
Canadian Pacific Railway company's
crack Oriental liner, Empress of China,
sank last evening alongside her dock in
this port. Her seacocks must have
been opened, but how, no one can ex-
plain.
Her main deck on the port side is
awash with several feet of water. She
sank and keeled over on her port side,
SO that the main deck is now at an an
gle of about 45 degrees. Her engines
and dynamoes are entirely under water.
She is resting on a mud bottom, but
the problem in saving her will be that
OF righting the vessel and preventing
her from completely turning turtle.
Just after O'clock the steward no.
ticed that the water was coming in over
lower deck. All day the liner had
been loading flour, 500 or 600 tons of
which is now being slowly turned into
paste In the watery hold. Instantly
the steward gave the alarm. Officers at
dinner hurried to their stations as the
big vessel began to list. All hands
manned the pumps, but it was too late
to save her from sinking and soon every
person was ordered ashore.

JUSTLY PROUD
OF HER WORK
Great Progress Made in Rebuilding
Of San francisco.
Forest Of Scyscrspsrs Stand Where
All Was Ruins Eighteen Months
Ago--New Buildings Now Under
Process OF Construction to Cost
500, 900. 900.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.--It is IS
months ago that San Francisco was
swept by Ere and earthquake. Since
then she has been afflicted with indus-
trial strife, civic corruption and bu-
bonic plague. 1t Is no opportune mo-
ment to take stock. 1t does not require
an optimist to write the rosy story OF
the revival. The facts and the figures
tell their own story and they are here
for everyone to see. Great buildings
with their rigid frames lacing across
the sky, commercial avenues crowded
with pedestrians and vast industrial
army tell tale that even the casual
observer must note.
The San Franciscan may be in truth
pardoned II he shows disposition to
place his thumbs in his vest and boast
Of what he has done. But he hasn't
much time for Boosting. The terrible
pace begun when the first frame struc-
ture was started has not abated. The
point has been reached where results
are beginning to show, and with this
has come a new zest for the vast work.
Since the fire buildings have been
begun to cost 500, 900, 00O-five times
as much as in any similar period of
time before the fire. They range all
the way from the small structure to
skyscrapers ID or Is stories high. 1t
is as though q building were begun
every day to cost $4,000. There is
no sign OF a decrease, although it is
expected that there will be natural
falling off over the winter months.
The remarkable feature OF the matter,
however. is the stability of the savings
accounts. Predictions were freely made
that San Francisco could be built only
upon the savings of its citizens. AL
though 500, 100000 in buildings are
under way or completed, the savings
accounts in the local banks have shown
but small decrease and still stand at
the comfortable figure of 1857, 000,0 600.
1t has been pointed out that it re-
quired two years for Baltimore to erect
buildings to cost $4,000, 900 after its
fire, but San Francisco has done four
times as we'll in six months lees time.
Baitimore's achievement was comment
cd upon at the time as marvellous.

STRIKE OVER IN NORTHWEST.
Union Calls 1t Off at Helena. Big Re-
lay Point.

Helena, Oct. 23.--That third great
dam across the Missouri river near here
will be built Immediately is no longer
a possibility. it is an assured fact. Ex-
Governor s. I. Hauser has just re
turned from New York, and stated that
the necessary 100000 had been Sc
cured before the great slump in stocks
and Tightening of money. The state
ment is further borne out by the fact
that the Capital City Power company
today bought from the state of Montana
all Of the remaining land which is to
be flooded by the backwaters, and
which lies on either side of the river.
While portion OF the power gene
rated will be utilized in the Butte
mines and Anaconda smelter of the
Amalgamated Copper company, no
small amount will be used in the re-
clamation OF arid lands in this immedi-
ate vicinity. Speaking on the subject,
Governor Hauser said that the financial
success of the first two dams was all
the argument needed to enlist capital
for the third.

THIRD DAM ON MISSOURI.


Helena, Oct. 23.--At meeting of
the local Telegraphers' union in this
city last night the strike was forma lly
declared off and 10 men have asked
Manager Taylor. of the Western Union,
or their old positions. Forty men
walked out in this city when the strike
was first inaugurated, and the first
break in the ranks came several DAYS
ago when one of the strikers asked for
reinstatement and was sent to the st.
Paul office.
1t is believed that the action CT the
local union here will have the effect of
breaking the backbone of the strike
throughout the Northwest, as Helena,
being big relay point, is one of the
moet important offices west of Chicago.
Mr.. Taylor believes that before TO-
morrow night practically every operator
who quit the service of the Western
Union here will ask for reinstatement.

structure was totally DESTROYED
Whether the accident was caused bv
the explosion of an oil burner or of one
OF the boilers is in doubt. An official
investigation will be started by the
United States inspectors to determine
the facts.
The steamer was practically new.
having been launched the latter part 81
May. On June 20 she was placed in
commission between Portland and the
state portage road at Cello, connecting
with the steamer Relief, which was
operating on the upper stretches of the
Columbia. During the Az months
the craft had been in service she never
missed trip. She completed three
round trips week. 1t is declared that
no other boat on the river ever ran
more steadily than she, and this is the
first accident the boat ever experienced.
Though not regarded as an unusually
speedy boat, she succeeded in maintain
ing an average speed of about Is miles
an hour.
Aside from carrying general freight
both up and down, the steamer handled
a large number OF passengers. Primar-
lily she was built for the purpose of
getting an independent steamer line
established and to add to it as occasion
demanded, with the view of having
water transportation facilities as far
inland as Lewiston, Idaho. The slogan
of the company was an "open river"
hence the name chosen for the corpora
ton.
OF late the major portion of her car
goes on the down trips have been made
up of wheat. The Relief, running from
Cello, or the upper terminus of the
portage road, brought grain on the
down trips almost altogether and man.
aged to keep enough of the cereal at the
portage to keep the Teal busy in con-
nection with the other line of freight
she handled. Joseph N. Teal, secre-
tary of the company, states that the
Relief will be kept in service.
Before too great a quantity of freight
accumulates at the portage he is conf
dent that another boat to handle the
traffic at this end of the line will be
chartered.
