ALL HANDS SAVED
WHEN HUGE Liner
HITS OCEAN ROCK
Those Aboard Taken off and
Landed Quietly and Without
Sign of Panic.

Hughtown, st. Mary's Scilly Islands.
April 1S.-The steamer Minnehaha OF
the Atlantic transport line struck on
the submerged rocks near Bishop Rock
at 2 o'clock this morning. Her pass
engers were removed In safety. The
vessel Is badly damaged. The Minne-
haha, Captain Layland, from New York
for London was feeling her way eau
tiously towards the English channel
through a dense fog that obscured the
light on Bishop Rock, and led her to
approach too near the dangerous coast
Of Sicily Islands. When the Minnehaha
hit the rocks big hole was torn amid
ships and this morning she had 20 feet
of water in her foreholds.
The 66 passengers were considerably
alarmed for time. but were treasured
by the officers. and so far as has been
learned here. suffered no harm.
Scarcely had the steamer climbed upon
the rocks when urgent wireless mes
sages were being sent to Lloyd's signal
station at Lizard, from which point
they were passed on to Falmouth.
Steamer 10 Sent For.
Signals of distress were also picked
up on the islands and in a short time
fishermen's boats had put out to the
wreck. These boats took Off the pas
sengers and landed them at Bryher,
where they were made as comfortable
as resources of the little island per-
mitted, pending the arrival Of a
steamer which has been dispatched to
take them to PenZance, whence they
will be taken by special train to Lon
don.
Captain Layland and his crew stood
by the vessel, which at daylight show
ed slight list to port AS soon as
the passengers were sent away the
work OF tightening the cargo was be-
gun. The weather continued thick and
rain fell, but the sea was fairly mod
crate. Two life boats stood by.
The live stock which made up a
large portion Of the cargo, was landed
on Sampson island. Shipments OF wax
and machinery. which filled holds one
and two were jettisoned, as the vessel
continued to make water forward. 1t
was thought the Minnehaha might be
towed off the rocks at high water.
The Minnehaha struck at almost the
identical spot where her namosake, q
sailing ship. was driven ashore some
81 years ago.
In the emergency the behavior Of all
on board the liner could not have been
better. The lifeboats were swung out
promptly at the first shock and then
Captain Layland, the officers and crew.
passed among the passengers, who had
rushed on deck In the clothing in
which they slept, Quieting their fears
and persuading them to return to their
cabins and dress themselves warmly
for the trip ashore.

New York, April 1s.-Bradstreets
Saturday said:
Crop trade and industrial reports
are rather more cheerful this week.
This does not apply so much to ac-
tual immediate conditions as it does
to the great basic factors likely to be
effective in the future, and as yet it
may be said that the improvement is
one of tone or sentiment rather than
the actual expansion in demand or dis
tribution. Indeed, except at a few
markets, there Is little apparent ex-
pansion to be chronicled and on q
basis Of business done the turnover is
probably little different from a week
ago with depression or even dis
appointment visible In q number Of
lines. On the favorable happenings may
be placed the unQuestionable good re-
ports received from the farming dis
tricts, except from a few states where
winter wheat damage has been con-
siderable. There is also less evidence
of strain in the labor situation, at last,
but certainly not least, the sagging Of
prices Of q number Of agricultural pro-
ducts from the high levels of few
months ago is regarded as ameliorat-
ing the position OF business generally
and likely in time to benefit our un-
buying seems to await clearer views
Of crop and price tendencies. The
weather favors outdoor activities in a
high degree, and hardware implements,
seeds, fertilizers and building material
are active. There Is distinctly better
tone to lumber.
On the other hand one of the basic
I'M OF iron and cfaaI iS rather
slower, prices are easier and there are
signs of curtailment Of output being
resorted to in the pig iron and coke in
dustries.
Cotton goods demand does not pick
up as hoped for, high prices Of raw
departments making for lessened OUT
put and slower demand.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade tomorrow will say:
Crop conditions are becoming more
and more a vital factor in the busi-
ness situation. and 1t Is noteworthy
that the nearer one gets to the pro-
the speculative markets, the more
cheerful are the reports. Even the poor
winter wheat outlook Is improved by
rains, while as regards spring wheat
there Is a larger acreage and excellent
initial conditions. If the main crops
are good the year should be pros
porous one in spite Of political and
monetary complications.
The unsettlement in pig iron, where
curtailment Of production Is talked of
In the trade as means OF bringing a
readjustment of conditions, still dis
turbs the iron and steel market. With
the output during the last six months
exceeding all previous records some ac-
emulation of stocks has resulted and
prices for some time past have been In
consumers favors.

BANDITS HOLD UP AND
PLUMBER MAIL TRAIN
Masked Men Hold Up China
Japan Express in California
and Loot It.

Benica, Cal, April 2o-The China
Japan mail train, which left San Fran
cisco over the Southern Pacific rail-
way for the east at o'clock Saturday
night, was held up by two masked
men at Sprig, two miles east of here
at 1880 o'clock Sunday morning and
robbed of nine pouches of registered
mall
The train carried no express matter.
Four pouches have been recovered,
but the robbers rifled the others and
are now hiding in the hills and cam
yons between Martinez and Oakland.
The passengers on the train We're
not disturbed and several of them did
not learn of the robbery until yester-
day morning. After getting the mail
sacks the robbers cut the engine loose
from the train and sent 1t wild, throt-
tie open, down the main track to the
east. In the direct path Of the engine
was a section of passenger No. s..
westbound. heavily loaded. But for
the presence Of mind OF telegraph
operator at Susan, a serious collision
would have taken place. The engine
was thrown into a ditch In the nick
of time.
