BY THE SEA

New York, N. Y, Dec. 2S.-With
one passenger dead, another serious
ly injured, and with decks battered
and SCARED by tremendous waves,
the Russian steamer Saratov arrived
here today from Libau and Rotten
dam. The voyage was a continuous
struggle against wind and wave.
Heavy weather was encountered from
the start and seventeen cabin and
S27 steerage: passengers were kept
closely confined to their quarters.
On Dec. q huge wave broke over
the bows and sweeping down, caught
two women steerage passengers. So
great was the force with which the
wall of water struck the women that
one of them was Instantly killed.
The other sustained serious injuries.
Everything movable on that portion
of the deck was caught up and car
ried along until it crashed against
some solid portion of the ship. The
damage to the ship was confined to
breakage of the deck fittings.

The mine owners are jubilant over
the new turn of affairs and while de-
Ginning to say what their course will
be, openly assert they will now be in
position to carry every point: they
have contended for.
C. E. Mahoney, the president Of the
Western Federation of Miners, says
that the going or staying of the
troops will have no effect on the
plans of the union miners and that
neither he nor the officers of the local
union are concerned about the troops.
The plan to be pursued, provided the
legislature is favorable, is, it seems
now, to form a body of rangers, and
to station them in Goldfield as long
as there is a possibility of trouble.
