STEAMER RAMMEp BOW
 THROUGH LOWER GATE.
Twenty Feet of Lock of Canadian
 Canal Carried Away.

Sault Ste. Marie. Mich. June D. With all the weight of Lake Superior behind it. an ungoverned torrent of water rushed tonight through the four million dollar Canadian canal built to carry vessels around the impasHable rapids of the Saint Mary's river. The entire fall Of approximately twenty feet centered in the lock, which .was wreck ed today when the steamer Perry c. Walker of the Gilchrist fleet rammed her bow through the lower gare.
 The upper gates were open when the Walker crushed open the lower gates and the tremendous power of the rap- ids was given instant play. The steam CT Assiniboia, a big Canadian Pacific passenger liner moored within the lock chamber. was torn away from her moorings and swept into the open reaches of the river below.
 The Walker was whirled around sev- eral times and finally landed on a shoal out of the channel.
 The ore laden steamer Crescent City Of the Pttsburg Steamship company, which was just entering the locks from Lake Superior when the accident oc- cured. was swept down stream like a feather. She overlook the Assiniboia and struck the latter two giancing blows after having a great hole stove in her side as she swept past tho broken lower gate. Tugs caught her and towed her to the American side. where she settled to ths bottom. Both the upper gates Of the lock and one lower gate were wrenched from their moorings.
 The other lower gate stllI hanes 10 It's fastenings. twisted and broken.
 The loss to the Canadian government will probably reach S250.000 and the damage to the Crescent City iH eEti- mated a. si00.000. The damage to tho. steamers Walker and Assiniboia was comparatively light.
 Captain Afosher of the steamer Walker declares that the accident was caused by his engineer making a mis- take and throwing his lever to Full speed ahead" on the captains signal to ''back up."
