PORTLAND, Oct. 24.--A special
to the Oregonian from Van

The Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany's crack oriental liner, Empress of
China, sank yesterday evening along
side of her dock in this port. Her
sea cocks must have been opened, but
how no one seems to be able to ex-
plain. Her main deck on the port
side is awash with several feet of wa
ter. She sank and keeled over on
her port side so that the main deck
is now at an angle of about As de-
greos. Her engines and dynamos are
under water. She is resting on a
mud bottom but the problem of saving
her will be that of righting the vessel
and preventing her from completely
turning turtle.
Just after 6 o'clock in the evening
the steward noticed that the water
was coming in over the lower deck.
All day the liner had been loading
-four, five or six hundred tons of which
is now being slowly turned into paste
in the 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 1t was too late
to save her fro msinking, and soon
every person was ordered ashore. She
continued to list and to sink and by s
o'clock her port stern was resting on
| the bottom Of the harbor the tops of

tending to the gables Of the big
| freight sheds.

BALLOON RACE.
PCMMERN THE VICTORIOUS EN-
TRY, LANDED AT AssURY
PARK, $50 MILES FROM START.
ING PoINT-FRENcH SECOND.

ST LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 24.-Proclaim-
ed as the most remarkable balloon
contest in the history of the worlds
aerJnautics, with every racing record
broken, the second international cup
com petition, which started from here

Point Pleasant. Another German bal
loon. the Dusseldorf stands third in
the race. American entries are fourth
| and fifth, third German team is
sixth, French team is seventh and
an American eighth and the English
ninth
The estimated air line fight of the
| Pomqnern is $50 miles and that of the
Isle de France is s75. The Dusseldorf,
third, which landed near Dover, Del,
1 is estimated to have covered 794 miles.
The Pommern could have remained in
the air hours longer, and undoubtedly
would have added several hundred
miles to her record but for the expanse
of water ahead.
/. While losing the record and possess
sion of the cup. the French team
which sailed the Isle de France gained
the honor of the record for duration.
their time in the air being just A
hours The previous record was II

with the club which wins 1t three
u times. Germany having won posses

Fashion is called tickle for more
than alterations sake. She has all
the feminine failings-or what are
known as such. Inconseguence, love
of change, lack of humor, all that
goes to the making of the eternal fem
mime. Over these the world has
theorized for ages past, and always
will. Till the last day. both woman
and fashion will be denounced for
their whims and moods, for it is pos
sible in life to live down everything,
even a crime, but theory-never.
Variety is not wanting in the new
fashions. The very short bolero is
worn over high Empire belt, but
most popular of all are the coatlets
with tiny basques. At present, every
thing is supposed to have a basque,
and the long, tight-fitting coats are
still quite in fashion. The short fur
bolero with pointed front and back
reaching to the waist-line is quite out
of favor; but we are still wearing
loose, short, sleeveless boleros of fur,
and the daintiest of cape boleros with
frilled sleeve made in fur or in vel
vet.
Stripes are quite, as fashionable, if
not more so, than ever. They take the
form of black hair-line tartan or tweed
fabrics. Striped also are our evening
gowns, of silver and white, or colored
gauze, with a deep hem of satin or

The new British Ambassador, Mr..
James Bryce, and his wife, to whom
the English papers have alluded as
the ambassadress, have taken posses
sion of the British embassy at Wash
ington and are becoming settled in
their new home and preparing for the
social duties which will devolve upon
them in connection with the social
activities of official Washington life.
It is safe to say that the Bryces,
strong in their knowledge of the
American and of all things American,
will give far more attention to social
affairs than was ever before given
by representative of Albion, and
will thus escape the embarrassments
which grew up around Sir Henry
Mortimer nnrand. the predecessor Of
Mr.. Bryce, largely through the &C.
~tivity of Lady Susan Townley,' the
wife of a minor member of the Brit
ish embassy. IT is said that Lady
Townley complained to persons who
took the report to the ears of the
king and of the other persons who
have to do with such matters that
the former British ambassador and
his wife were not nearly so intimate
with President and Mrs. and Miss
Roosevelt as were many another pair
in Washington. 1t is said that there
were tears in the voice of Lady Susan
when she recounted to the ears of her
her friends in London the familiarity
with which President Roosevelt dealt
with Speck Won Sternburg-it was
even remarked by the irreverent thai
