of Juan De Fuca. ten men of crew Of
the tug Sea Lion, which was run down
and sunk by the American schooner
Oceania Vance yesterday morning, ar
rived in Seattle on the steamer What

The collision occurred in a dense fog
and the sharp stem Of the schooner
cut through the rail guard of the tug,
like a knife, making a rent several
feet long. For a couple of minutes
the vessels were locked together, the
Vance's bow extending into the tugs
forecastle. The hole in the hull of the
Sea Lion reached below the water line
and a torrent of water rushed into,
the tug.
The crew climbed to the deck of
the Vance, and the tug lies in seventy
fathoms of water. This is one of the
biggest of the fleet owned by the Pu-

TO JEWISH
COLONIZATION SCHEME

New York.-Considerable opposi-
ton is developing to Israel Zangwill
and his project, under which Jews are
to make contract to irrigate Meso-
potamia at cost of $40, 900, 900, and
to receive In turn from Turkey the
right of colonization of the land and
finally establish state there. 1t is
expected that this opposition will
strongly manifest itself at the COM
ing Zionist convention, which will
open here with 500 delegates from
all parts of the United States Sunday
next. An article by Louis Lispky, ed
itor of the Maccabean, the official or
gan of the Zionists, takes Zangwill to
task for his attitude declaring that
Zangwill, as the head of the Jewish
Territorial association, desires to es-
tablish a nation in Mesopotamia. Ed
tor Lipsky writes that the Zionlsts'
one idea is TO establish a Jewish state
in Palestine only. The article says
Zangwill ignores the Zionists.

Chicago, June 10.-Some interest
ing possibilities Of competition for the
Hill and Hartman railroad in their
struggle for transcontinental traffic
are suggested by the decision by the
traffic and executive officers of the
Chicago, Milwaukee c Puget Sound
railroad to maintain an Independent
attitude regarding the making of west
ern rates.
Ever since the construction of this
line was started 1t was predicted in
railroad circles that this road would
become a rate-making factor to reck-
on with.
One Of the most important consid-
erations influencing the decision of
the traffic officers in their determi-
nation to maintain independent in
their rate position was that the road
proposes to make extremely low rates
on export business.

SMITH AND VAUGHAN
FOR DIRECTORS

Petitions are being circulated this
afternoon for the nomination of E. L.
Smith and Dr. E. A. Vaughan as
school directors to succeed them
selves. Mr.. Smith is now chairman
of the board, and as such his term
expires this month. DIR. Vaughan
was appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Lee
Teutsch, and as his appointment only
holds until the next regular election,
his successor is now to be elected.
So far there is no talk of an op-
position candidate to either of these
men and their nomination is consid-
cred equal to an election. No inter-
est whatever has been manifested so
far in the election, and 1t gives prom
Use of being a decidedly quiet affair.
