Johns. n. F, was victim of the furi-
Gus six-day gale which swept the seas
off Southwestern Newfoundland last
week. She had a large passenger list
but small cargo.
The steamer. which sailed from here
for ST. Johns on Tuesday morning, was
last heard from by wireless on Wednes-
day morning, when she reported a ter
rife gale and a hard passage.
Since then she has been unknown. de-
spite the fact that she should have been
in touch with one or more wireless sta

The run from Halifax TO ST. Johns is
usually made in forty-eight hours. Thus

S7cedish Rulers Plan to Obtain
Tiezos of Workmen.

Stockholm, Dec 5-King Gustaf dis
guised himself as a stevedore on Satur-
day and spent most of the day carrying
sacks OF coal from a lighter. In an in

tended 10 mix with all classes of labor
ers. so that he might ascertain their
opinions and wishes. Already, he added.
he had obtained many valuable hints
from the men with whom he worked.
The determination Of King Gustave TO
learn the conditions of the workingmen
by mingIing with them and sharing in
their labors has resulted from the recent
general strike. King Gustave vainly in

ers' Association paying $4,000 daily to
support its weaker members, while the

sociations exhausted their funds 10 keep
the strikers from starving
Eventually arbitration was undertaken
by the Swedish government. and in the
interim many of the workmen returned
to their tasks, although the number of I'M
employed remained large. The king and
royal family contributed to national
fund for loans 10 workmen. Homesteads
have been apportioned among the unem-
rloyed, but conditions still cause the gov

POSSIBLE MESSAGE ON
NICARAGUA.
Dir. Taft and Secretary Kno.r
Confer-Estrada Reported
IN Field.

Washington, Dec. 5.-President Taft
at the White House tonight. and the re-
port spread that the topic under discus
sion was the matter of sending to Con-
gress stinging special message on the
imbroglio with Nicaragua. Neither the
President nor Mr.. Knox would say any
thing about their conference. II is re-
garded as likely, however that the Mic
araguan matter was uppermost, and il
is also intimated that the discussion took
the form of outlining policy which will
cover the whole Central American coun-
try.
AS far a. actual news was concerned
the day was uneventfuL The State De-
partment received no advices. according
to a statement made late this evening.
while the Navy Department likewise was
without fresh information
Sefor Salvador CastrilIo. the repre-
sentative here of the insurgent forces
under General Estrada, the President of
the provisional government. received a
message tonight which said that Gen
eral Estrada had left Bluefelds and had
taken the field. A decisive battle, the
dispatch continued. was imminent in the
vicinity of Rama. II is believed, in view
OF the reported desertions from Zelaya's
the war, especially because reports say
that Zelaya's men are both short Of am
munition and in extremities for food.

The cruiser Dixie. which will probably
sail tomorrow. is sister ship TO the
Prairie, and has been in readiness at
