today by the French Transatlantic
Steamship Company state that the loss
of the General Chanzy occurred Wednes-
day night, while the vessel was running
before terrible storm in the vicinity of
the Balearic Islands. in the Mediter-
ranean.
When the vessel struck a reef north CT
the Island of Minorca the shock was ter
rife. The ship was literally broken TO
pieces.
OF the vaudeville people among the
passengers, Nestor was Frenchman and
the two Strackleys were Belgians, accord
ing to theatrical people. The latter say
that the only American performers were
Miss Elsie Henry and the team known as
Derenda and Green, acrobats
Considering the seaworthiness of the
General CLANCY and the experience of
Capt. Cayol shipping people believe the
steamer must have become unmanageable
through the breaking down Of her engines
or the loss of her propeller.
The General Chanzy went ashore near
Bergen in 1896. At that time she was
hauled off by the German corvette Gr,f-
fen, for which assistance President Faure
subsequently expressed his thanks to EN-
peror William.

VICTIMS OF WRECK
WASHED ON SHORE
CONTINUED from First Page.)

eral Chanzy was wrecked Thursday night
with the loss of some $50 lives. reports
that numerous bodies can be seen floating
in the sea.
Telegrams received here this morning
show that the wreck occurred about
o'clock Thursday night. The hull of the
vessel. which struck a rock at the same
point where the Vile de Rome was
wrecked three years ago, is completely
submerged.
1t seems certai nthat the boilers of the
vessel exploded as she sank. The French
consul at Ciudadela, however, expresses
opinion that an explosion was the cause
of the disaster and that the ship did not
strike q rock.
The general theory is that the steam
ship was carried out of her course and
ran on the rocks.
Passengers All Below Deck.
In explanation of the great loss of
life, it is assumed that, because of the
wild weather, all passengers were below
when the vessel struck. and that she
went down Immediately.
Hope is still entertained that more
than one passenger-ROdel, customs
officer, escaped-succeeded in reaching
the shore. So far. no others have
been heard from.
vaudeville performers. Two American
juggiers, known the Stackleys. under
contract to appear at the Algiers kur-
saal, are reported victims.
Another dispatch reports three Ameri-
can vaudeville artists drowned.
News of the wreck reached Algiers
during a performance at the theater in
aid Of the French flood victims. The

MORE THAN THE PEOPLE.
USEFUL ANIMALS OF THE
WORLD NUMBER 1900, 900, 900.
United States Leads in Swine and
About Ties Russia in Horses.
Australia Is First in Sheep.

If all the useful animals in the world
were to organize themselves for revolt
against the cruelties of man they would
outnumber any human army that could
be brought against them, even If every
man, woman and child of every race I'M
der the sun marched from the four cor
ners of the earth to join it's ranks.
Such records as the Department of
Agriculture has been able to gather and
has just summarized in the department.
Crop Reporter show that the enumera-
ton of useful animals more than equals
the estimated population of the earth.
The Army of Animals.
Gen. Bellwether could organize his
sheep into division of 5S0OO0,OOO and
outnumber the Chinese by more than
hundred million. The horse could have a
cavalry division of more than $4,000, 600,
with a corps of more than 100000 mules
and 5000, 600 jackasses to bring supplies
to the front. About 1O00OO,OO0 goats
could furnish milk and wool, while d.
700, 600 buffaloes could stamp out Spain,
man by man. Meanwhile 100000 cam
els could campaign in their familiar con-
ditions of deserts and dry places and $780,
900 hardy reindeer could sweep the north
ern c1meS.
There are. as nearly as can be esti-
mated, 1900, 600 900 useful animals in the
world, including, in addition to those
above mentioned enormous numbers OF
cattle and four-footed hogs. The United
States leads in the population of swine
with about 50,OO00OO, third of all in
the world. Australia leads with sheep
SO, 100000. and the United States is third
with 57,OOO,OO0.
European Russia and the United States
are about even on horses, with about D.
900, 900 each, and more than half the
mules are here. British India is the prin-
cipal habitat of the goat; there are 3d.
OOO 600 there The camel is usually as
ISOLATED with Egypt, but there are only
IT'S, 900 there against 100000 in Asiatic
Russia.
While the United States ranks second
to British India in cattle, with about 10
600 OOO it leads in numbers of the most
useful animal-the horse, and in the
greatest animal of commerce-the hog.
