Victoria, B. c., March 27.-Every
person on board the small wooden
steamer Sechelt when she was capsized
off Beachy head, Vancouver island, dur
ing a gale recently, persisted, and APP
parently the sea gulped down every
morsel of the vessel. 1t is not known
positively how many persons were on
the Sechelt when she left Victoria for
Sooke. The prevailing report is that
she departed with 80, that 10 of the
passengers landed at William head, and
that % passengers and the crew of four
went down with the boat.
OF the 10 passengers who landed AT
Williams head 10 were Greeks and
Italians bound for a railroad construc-
tion camp at Peddar bay. Frank Nc
Kenua, aged 81, formerly in the United
States navy, also landed at William
head.
Biting Gale.
The Sechelt after leaving William
head was making directly for Sooke.
The seas were running high. The wind
was biting, hail and rain falling, and
heavy mist prevailed. The consensus
of reports is that the vessel was making
good speed when she suddenly swung
around through the trough of the seas
with her head pointing in the direction
of Port Crescent. She hung this way
for about six minutes, inclining to her
port side, when the wind appeared to
strike her full broadside She keeed
over and disappeared almost Instantly.
Owing 10 weather conditions all the
passengers were shut up in the cabin
and mast have been carried below when
the vessel foundered. The Sechelt
foundered a mile from shore and the
intense cold and rough water would
have prevented anyone from swimming
ashore even if he had the chance.
The Sechelt, built for fresh water,
rolled and was topheavy in the wind.
Large gangway ports opened on her
cargo deck and it is likely that she
lurched over so as to place these ports
, under water.
The Rev. J. w. Burns, an unordained
Presbyterian missionary at Sooke, was
returning with his wife from Victoria,
: where their son had just been married,
the father officiating. J. l. Henderson
of Cody, Wyo., aged 90, railroad line
5 man, was drowned, as also was George
: Nolen.
d Henry Charles, an Indian, of Rocky
i point, was gathering wood on Beecher
i bay about $50 p. m. Saturday and saw
e the Sechelt 90 down.
Beechy head is west of Beecher bay
in the Strait of Fuca, 25 miles from
= Victoria. Among the known dead are
4 Captain H. V. james, master, part
Il owner.
g The Rev. Mr.. Burns, minister a
= Sooke, and his wife.
=. The only list of passengers was II
the hands of the purser, who wen
down with the ship, and the roster Of
dead can be compiled only as bodies
lie are cast up by the sea.

,e deckload of railroad iron and trucks

the little vessel rolled in the heav.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is de-

instances where a saving to the gov

be effected.
"The plans have decided upon"

versy over the suggested increase of the

probably will tend to bring about a

By direction of Mr.. Hitchcock the
weights of monthly and semi-monthly
periodical mail matter originating in
large publishing centers are being taken

other mails.
From July next, periodicals that
can be transported in carload lots by

Distributing Terminals.

Distributing terminals have been es-
tablished in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha, st.
Paul and Cincinnati. Through matter
that can be handled in carload lots will
be sent through the weighing section
by freight and such additional distrib-
ution as is necessary before the matter
is delivered to other railway postoffice
lines will be done at the terminus. Ar
rangements will be made with the pub
fishers for a finer separation in the
publishing Offices, and for an earlier
mailing of their matter, so that the
slower method of transportation may
not affect the regularity of, or the
promptness of, its delivery.
"We expect" said Mr.. Hitchcock
"to effect considerable economies, not
only in the actual cost of transporta-
ton of the matter, but also in the
railway postofice car pay.'

The Miami Metropolis So completely
outstripped its local contemporary in
furnishing the public the complete de-
tails of the PARCEL murder case, that
the latter has been greatly picked,
and now justiiies his short sightedness
in saying editoriaIIy that it "does not
be lieve in trying a murder case IN the
newspapers. The difference is sim
ply that the Herald is edited by two
LAWYERS, and the success of their occu-
patton depends on keeping the public IN
darkness and ignorance to better
hoodwink the jury when the case goes
to trial; while the Metropolis is edited
by newspaper man with his heart and
brain in the right place.
