Disaster Takes Place on island
of Skluhiu.

Tokyo, Aug. 29.-News OF the sink.
ing Of the British steamer Dunearn
and the loss of all but two Of the 50
members Of her crew in the typhoon
which ragged off the port Of Goto,
on the island of Kiuhiu, reached here
Friday night in . report received
from Moji, a town on the same island.
The names of the survivors are given

laiesk, Asiatic Russia, to Singapore,

ust "a the ship ran into the very

assurance that If he called a snecial
session they would stand by him and
provide the assistance he needed to
enforce the laws.
He was assured that despite the re-
volt of Atlantic City the legislature
would authorize him to patrol the re-
sort with troops and place it under
martial law. But it is said on the
same authority that the governor did
not receive the same assurances as
to his desire for authority to remove
officers who fail to perform their duty.
He has asked the legislature for this
power in the past. and it has been de-
MED.
Indications have reached the gov.
ernor that such would be the case, and
there can be no doubt that the call
for the special session of the legisla-
ture will follow.

Montgomery, May 20.-The extraor- dinarily long ticket used by the Dem- ocratic primary election in Alabama has made it next to impossible to secure any approximate idea of the result except that Governor Johnson boiled a large vote in unexpected places.
