91 DROWN WHEN SHIP
 STRUCK ICE FLOE
SHOUTS FOR HELP IN STORM ATTRACT CREWS OF TWO NEVA RESCUED.

St. Petersburg, April 2l.-Twenty-iv persons are believed to have been drowned by the laundering of the river steamer Archangel while she was crossing the Neva near the suburb of Irinowka late Saturday night. The accident occurred in storm when the steamer struck an ice foe Owing to thunderings of the weather the accident was not seen from the shore, but the shouts for help of those in distress attracted the crews of two steamers which hastily went to the SC, only to find that the Archangel had foundered. A number of her pas sengers, mostly working men, were res cued. but owing to the swift cross cur rent many others were swept un ter the Ice tloes.
 There is no means for establishing defi- nitely the number of victims. The pas sage across the river was short and no count was made, but according to the po- flee thirty-one persons are missing, all worSmen or small merchants of the humber classes. The Archangels was an old iron steamer, open forward, and roofed over astern. She was condemned as unseaworthy last fall, but the owner was able to have the ban removed. The crew was made up of three inexperienced men. the captain and pilot having for merly been bakers. All three of the men were saved
 The steamer had scarcely any ballast and when she ran sidewise on a big foe she careened and immediately filled and sank.
 The banks of the river were crowded all day with friends and relatives of missing persons looking for bodies, but none was recovered.
 It is probable that the dead have been carried down stream for miles. Feeling runs high against boat owner. and threats have been made to lynch him
