Bay in q special train and went i'm
mediately to Carnegie Hall, where sew
eral hundred japanese residents were
gathered and where he in turn re-
ceived a gift. To the man whose chief
characteristic is silence they present
ed handsome box monograph. The
admiral is fond of music, and made
brief speech of acknowledgment in
Japanese. He then hurried to the
Knickerbocker Hotel, and arrived
there in time to dress for the state
dinner given in his honor by Third AS
sistant Secretary Of State Chandler
Hale, who acted as host for the gov
eminent, whose guest the admiral is.
The dinner was one of the most
elaborate ever served in New York.
The Knickerbocker's famous solid gold
service was used, and some of the
wine that was served was more than
eighty years old. The centerpiece was
a splendidly executed CONNECTION made
of sugar, which was a perfect model
of the famous Japanese battleship Mi
kasa, Togo's flagship in the battle of
the Sea of Japan.
Every turret and gun were reLro-
duced, not a single ventilator was
missing, and even the wireless outfit
was in perfect working order, the lit
tie wires sputtering messages of good
will between the two nations through
out the entire dinner. From the fore
peak of the candy sugar-clad Mikasa
there tiuttered a tiny little silk Amer
lean flag and from the stern the en-
blem of Japan. The sugar Mikasa
also had a set of fine searchligbts,
which shot out little strings of light,
just as the bigger ones on the real
thing did when Togo was winning i'm.
mortal fame in the Japan Sea. The
dinner, which cost 500 a plate. was
served on long elliptical table.
The dinner was private and no set
speeches were made. The toasts were
to the Emperor of Japan, the Presl-
dent Of the United States ana Admiral
Togo. The toasts to the Emperor and
Admiral Togo were proposed by Mr.
Hale and that to President Taft by
Admiral Togo.

DETAILS OF THE WRECK OF THE
EMPRESS OF CHINA, CLOSE TO
WHERE THE DAKOTA WAS LOST

YOKOHAMA, July 2S.-The Canad-
ian Pacific railroad steamer Empress
of China, which during a dense fog
ran ashore on a ledge in iateyama
Bay early yesterday morning, while
making for Yokohama from yancou-
yer, is still ashore and although up to
the time of writing q L. M no Official
information is to land, it is feared
that the position of the vessel is very
precarious, and the probability of get
ting her off, at least for some time, is
considered somewhat remote.
The vessel is resting on a ledge
about 400 yards from Shirahama
Beach, between the lighthouse and the
spot where the Dakota was wrecked,
with her bow pointing shorewards.
The coast line here is very dangerous,
the currents running rather swiftly,
and to add to the danger a dense fog
prevailed yesterday morning when
the accident occurred. Although moth
ing can be stated definitely at pres.
ent, it is presumed that the strong cur
rents caused by the severe typhoon
which visited the coast on Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning may
have carried the vessel out of her
urse, and that the fog prevented
the ships officers from getting the
true bearings.
Waves Twenty Feet High.
AS far as can be gathered from ar
rivals from the scene of the wreck,
the vessel was steaming very slowly
at the time of the accident, and the
impact was not severely felt by the
passengers. The severe gale of Tues
day night and Wednesday morning
was felt, the waves being about TWEEN
ty feet high, but the Empress wealth
eyed it in very seaworthy manner,
and on Wednesday afternoon, when
the weather cleared and the sun
shone through, all on board were con-
graduating the ships officers on navi-
eating the vessel safely through the
storm, and all were looking forward
to reaching Yokohama on Thursday
morning At about half-past five the
passengers noticed the vessel was
dead SLOW" and somewhere
about six o'clock it ran aground.
Among the cabin passengers there
was no excitement, but among the
steerage passengers there was some
alarm for a few minutes. The cap
tain and officers did their best to allay
all / ar, and to assure all on board
that there was no danger. On ar
irving on deck the passengers found a
dense fog enveloping the neighbor-
hood, but within half an hour this sud
denly lifted, and then it was seen
that the vessel was ashore on ledge
about 400 yards from the beach, the
bow pointing shorewards. AS soon as
the fog lifted, and the position of the

vessel was seen from the shore of
Shirahama, the fishermen put off in
samLans, and in these boats the pas
sengers were landed and taken ashore.
The cabin passengers were conveyed
first to a primary school and then to a
japanese temple in the village, where
everything was done by the ships Of
ficers for their comfort, while the
steerage passengers were accommo-
dated at various Japanese inns.
Passengers Well Treated.
In the afternoon the Soya and Aso
arrived, and in boats sent by the
cruisers the passengers were con-
veyed on board, and at about half-past
eight left for Yokohama, which was
reached at half-past two this morn
ing. Our informant was loud in praise
of the treatment accorded the pas
sengers by the officers of the JaIan-
csc warships, who did everything pos.
sible for the comfort of all on board
From another passenger we learn
that the vessel was steaming very
slowly at the time of the disaster, and
the only intimation that anything UNI
toward had happened was a vibration
of the screw and the sudden stopping
of the engines. Immediately the en-
gines were ordered astern, but with no !
effect; the vessel still remained fast .
aground. 1t was then discovered that |
water was entering the steerage quar-
ters in the forward part of the ship. !
The cabin passengers were COOL but ,
the Chinese passengers rushed on
deck and showed signs of fear At
about seven o'clock the purser, Mr.. S.
G. Binns, and a japanese boy" land
ed at Shirahama to telegraph to the
offices at Yokohama, but
it was found the wires were down as
a result of the recent storm. 1t was
then decided to engage 'rikisha and
ride to Tateyama, but as there was
only one kurumaya in the village they
had to cover the journey on foot,
of about twenty miles. On
arrival at Tateyama the same diff
fculty was met in the dislocation of
The telegraph service. The purser
hen decided to return to the ship,
while the Japanese took steamer from
Ojo to Uraga, and thence to YokCsuka,
where he entrained to kohama, ar
living here at $50 last evening with
dispatches for the local agent.
Near Where Dakota Was Lost.
The place of the stranding of the
Dakota was about one mile east of
hat of the c. P. R. boat, which is ,
very close in land, her bow pointing
towards Hara in a straight line. The
vessel shows almost no list, and is APP
Darently fixed on two rock peaks,
which hold her in a steady POSITION.

obtained a pretty complete grasp of
Honolulus sanitary status during the

over, he pointed out methods of relief
which should strengthen the hands OF
every worker for this citys physical

degree. The keynote of his argument
along this line, as well as throughout
his entire address, was education and

also of the general body of self-satis-

on to the pile of blazing lumber. With
a scream Walker fell on the fame and,
DESPITE his injury and bandages and
chains, fought frantically to break his
bonds and escape the fiery furnace
that was now raging about him. He
begged and raised his hands to the
skies, but the mob was obdurate.
Several times the man apparently
burst his bonds and dropped to the
side of the bed, which had by this time
caught fire and was blazing about him
His efforts to escape were INSTRUCTED,

he was about to succeed, but the men
with the fence rails were watching
that there would be no escape and
ruthlessly thrust the screaming and

pyre.
He gave one last terrible Shrek and
fell back exhausted and scorched on
his bed while the flames shot up high

COATESVILLE, Pa, Aug. Each
ariah Walker, the negro who shot and
killed Edgar Rice, ex-policeman and
special officer of the Worth Brothers
Steel Company, Saturday night, when
caught in the act of holding up and
robbing a foreigner near the works of
the company, was dragged from a cot
in the Gainesville Hospital and burned
alive by mob, half mile from town
tonight.
Scores, many of them wearing masks
or improvised masks of handkerchiefs,
struggled and fought their way into
the chamber where the negro was
stretched on cot and manacled to its
sides. The single police guard at his
side was swept away like a straw in
a torrent.
