SHIPS collide
100 lives LOST

Block Island, R. l., Feb. l3.-About
$50 persons went down to their death
in Block Island sound Monday night
as result Of a collision of the three
masted schooner Harry Knowlton and
the Joy line steamer Larchmont, bound
from Providence to New York. 1t is
estimated that, including the crew,
there were nearly 200 persons on board
the steamer when she sailed from Prov
idence. Of these only 10 appear to
have survived. Fort-eight bodies have
been recovered.
Awakened from their slumbers in
their staterooms, the unfortunate pass
engers were at the mercy of the fates.
Many, is it believed, went down with
the ship. Others, temporarily thank
full that they had escaped drowning,
prayed that they Eight be relieved of
the terrible pain caused by their frozen
bodies, and one unknown passenger
plunged knife inc his throat and end
ed his sufferings.
The few who survived were in pitt
full condition. In almost every case
their arms and legs hung helplessly as
they were lifted out of the boats in
which they they reached shore. Dur
ing the day 48 bodies came ashore,
either in boats or thrown up by the
sea. Only six of the 48 bodies were
identified.

Gen. Paroles Sails for Venezuela to
Carry Out His Threat.
New York-General Antonio Pare
des, who proposed to have landed at
Pedernales, Venezuela, to begin a re.
volt against President Castro, sailed
from this port on December % last
for Trinidad. About a month ago
when he tried with 60 of his followers
who had seen service in Venezuela
to start his expedition from Trinidad
he was intercepted by the British au
thorities. He thereupon went to a
point whence he embarked.
Pedernales, where he landed, is a
small town in the state of Maturin, in
the eastern part of the country. Pa
redes, it is said, has 5000 rifles and
million cartridges. His agents here
declare that he expects to rally an
army of from 5000 to 5000 men.
General Paroles is about 35 years
of age and served in he Venezuelan
army in the administration of Presi
dent Andrade. AS commander of the
fort at Puerto Cabeilo he repulsed the

HAYTI GROWS sPITEFUL.
Refuses to Heed Requests of Foreign
Ministers.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Feb. 12.-
The relations between the govern
ments of Hayti and Germany are
strained about the refusal of the Ger
man bankers, Hermann & Co., by d.
rection of the court at Port Au Prince,
to return to the Haytian government
large sums of money alleged to have
been obtained fraudulently. Among
the alleged transactions of Hermann &
Co. with the Haytian government was
one which is said to have proved favor
able to the government. This was
concluded by the Haytian minister of
finance, the German legation and Her.
mann & Co.
The German minister demanded that
this transaction, as well as others, be
annulled, but the Haytian government
in terms that the German minister
deemed offensive, refused to acquiesce
and at the same time demanded the
withdrawal of the phrase objected to-
This also was refused. Fears are en-
tertained here of grave complications
ensuing.

The hOo-doo on Lake Chelan steam

repaired.

There is practically no change in

been received in the city this season
which shows departure from the for

frame is reinforced by bar directly
under the top on the frame. This
makes the frame much stronger than
1t would be without the additional

model is not cumbersome, but on the
contrary is quite attractive.

SETTLE JAP MIDDLE
President and CALIFORNIANS
AGREE TO AGREE.
School Question Can Be Adjusted
Without Danger Of Any Serious Diff
ficuIty With Japan-State Depart.
ment to Conclude Diplomatic Nego-
tiations as Result of Conference,

President Roosevelt and the authori-
ties of San Francisco have reached
the mutual understanding that the
California Japanese school question
can be adjusted without danger of any
serious difficulty with Japan. It was
authoritatively stated that the one &C.
cOmplishment of the first conference
was mutual understanding that set
Element could be reached which would
be satisfactory and leave no ground
for trouble.
The California delegation came to
Washington, it is said, with nothing
in the nature of an ultimatum, but
rather open to the consideration of
any basis of settlement which the ad-
ministration might propose.
The conference took place at the
White House Saturday afternoon. 1t
was attended by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root, representing the
administration, and Mayor E. E.
Schmitz, the members of the board OF
education, the superintendent of
schools and the assistant city attorney
of San Francisco, representing the
educational interests of the city.
The conference, in accordance with
an understanding reached earlier in
the day, when Mayor Schmitz saw the
president, with Representatives Kahn
and Hayes, began shortly after 8
o'clock. The CalifOrnians reached the
executive offices shortly before that
hour and halted for few moments on
the steps, where they were photo
graphed in group. Preceding their
call, the president had been closeted
for some time with Secretary Root,
presumably to talk over the situation.
This over, the president cordially
greeted the Californians who had been
shown into his Office, and after brief
formalities the conference was begun.
Secretary Root remained, at the
presidents request, because of the
fact that whatever diplomatic negotia-
tons may arise as result OF the de-
cision finally arrived at will have to
be conducted by the state department.

MAKES PRESENT OF $4,000, 900
Rockefeller Donates That Sum to
Schools.


Thirty-two million dollars worth of
income bearing securities was the gift
Of John D. Rockefeller, through his
son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., an
nounced to the general education
board, when it assembled for a spec
ial meeting in New York recently. The
gift, which is the largest single sum
every handed out for such purposes,
will be used for general educational
purposes throughout the country. Mr..
Rockefeller has previously given the
board $11,0O0,0OO for the same work.
Worldwide will be the appreciation
Of the spirit which led John D. Rock
efeller to give in one donation $780,
100000 to the cause Of education in
the United States. It is truly said
that never in history has any man
given at one time so large a sum for
social and philanthropic purposes The
liberality of Andrew Carnegie, great
as 1t has been, is unmarked by any
thing that compares with this gift by
Rockefeller, and when it is borne in
mind that the 1872 100000 by no means
represents all of the latter's genera
sity the present donation stands out
all the more prominently.
| A recent statement of Rockefeller's
gifts to the University of Chicago
placed the total amount OF 10000, 900.
Previous gifts to the general educa-
tion board have been Sill 100000. In
these three items there is total of
$62,O0O,000 given for educational pur.
poses. Rockefeller has, moreover,
been liberal at one time or another in
donations to various colleges and uni
versities and for other philanthropic
objects. 1t might not be wide of the
mark to say that an aggregate of $751;
100000 out of his fortune has been
| thus diverted.
