but released inside of "a hours, for
signing resolutions of warning to Gen
eral Victoriano Huerta because of the
disappearance of the senator for Chi
apas, DR.. Belisaro Dominguez.
A proclamation was issued just be-
fore midnight calling for new cleo
tions Of senators and deputies on Oc-
tober &c, which date is coincident with
the presidential election.
The dissolution of the national con-
gress was based on the alleged usurpa-
ton by the deputies and senators of
the prerogatives of the chief executive
in the matter of Senator Dominguez.
Provisional President Huerta de-
clared that the chamber of deputies
had constituted itself one of the execu-
tive's worst enemies, hostile to all his
acts and invading his jurisdiction, even
to a point of questioning his selection

still afloat. The gale had moderated
and the seas had Gained down. From
almost every one of the encircling
steamers lifeboats were sent out and
into these the women and children
were lowered first. Several trips were
necessary before the survivors were
removed to a place of safety.
1t is pointed out as a remarkable
coincidence that the Volturno, about
four years ago, made a notable rescue
in great storm in mid-Atlantic of the
rison, who was then commander of the
Volturno, was decorated by the French
government for his daring act.
The Volturno sailed from Rotterdam
on October for New York. Accord
ing to the official statement she car
ried % first cabin passengers, 538
steerage, and a crew numbering Sc.
The Volturno was commanded by
Captain Inch, who had been five years
in the service of the Uranium line.
The Volturno was built by Fairfield
& Co. at Glasgow in 1906. She was
$40 feet long, with a 43-foot beam.
Her gross tonnage was 1851, net 2208

three infants The total number Of
young children and babies aboard was

No Native Americans.
Indications were that there were no
native-born Americans on the steam
ship Volturno A nearly complete pas
senger list received here from Rotter-
dam showed that practically all on
board were emigrants, mostly bound
for Canada.
Later Report.
Londonderry of the 1876 persons
lost from the steamship Volturno in
mid-Atlantic Thursday were in the two
boats which succeeded in getting away
from the burning vessel, and which,
without doubt, were swamped. The
majority of the other victims lost their
lives when four other boats were
smashed against the steamers sides in
an attempt to launch them. All this
occurred before the arrival of the Car
mania and the other liners summoned
by wireless calls for help.
The Carmania, with one lone sur
vivor of the Volturno aboard, found 1t

Lifeboats Swamped.

Exactly how the rescue was effected
is not known. The Volturno was well
equipped with boats, sufficient, the
agents say, for 1000 people, but the
boisterous sea or lack of boat drill, or
panic among the passengers prevented
the successful employment of them.
The rescue ships were able to lower
lifeboats, but apparently most of the
boats launched from the Volturno
were smashed or upset and the occu-
pants drowned.

Speed to Rescue.

The steamer Carmania, bound from
New York to Liverpool, was rs miles
away when the call for help sounded.
Captain Barr, ordering full steam, in
spite of the gale, drove through the
seas at 20 knots an hour and was the
first of the fleet to reach the burning
vessel.
She was followed by the La Tou-
raine, Minneapolis, Rappahannock,
Gar, Narragansett, Devonian, Kroon-
land, Grosser Kurfuerst and Seydlitz
at various hours throughout the day.
But try as they might the rescuing
vessels could get neither line nor life
boat to the Volturno, the forward part
of which was almost hidden by dense
cloud of smoke when the Carmania
arrived.
The burning steamer lay in the
trough of the sea, pounding helplessly,
with her propellers fouled by the
boats tackle. The terrified passengers
were huddled together as far as it was
possible to get from the flames, while
throughout the day the officers and
crew fought desperately with what
ever appliances were at hand to hold
the fire in check.
Hopeless Situation.
But night came on and the seas
abated only slightly. The circle of
steamers kept their searchlights play
ing and waited patiently within the
danger zone for the first moment when
they might again launch the lifeboats.
The hopelessness of the situation
was manifested at 8 o'clock in the eve
inning when a great explosion tore
away part Of the upper works and
flames burst from the engine room. 1t
then became a matter of how long the
Volturno would stay above the waters.
Meanwhile several of the terrified
passengers, wrapped in life buoys,
dropped over into the sea. Some were
rescued.

The drilling machine is located at the

johnson was on the boa which was
held with a line by several men on
the bank, when the boat sWerved into
the swift current, breaking the rope
n rapidly carrying the lone occu-
pant toward the falls.
Luckily, the ferry boat swayed
toward the west bank beneath a steep
cliff and rested securely fastened to
a huge rock from which perilous posi-
ton Mr.. Johnson could step on a shelf
of the cliff. Rescue was accomplished
by lowering a rope from the top of
the cliff and hauling the man upward.
So far all attempts nave been futile
to pull the boat back off the rock
by means of ropes n a four-horse
team on shore. The high water will
probably release the boa later, when
it will continue its journey down over
the falls.

SALVATION CAPTAIN
HAS PLANS
LEADER OF ARMY IN MISSOULA
WANTS TO PURCHASE PRES
BYTERlAN PROPERTY.

The. Missoula Salvation army, which
has struggled along in the Garden city
for many years, hard driven from
pillar to post and from halls ovec
meeting places and headquarters, is to
have a fine, permanent home if the
plans of Captain V. Bryant. now in
charge here, can be successfully car
ried through. In spite of all its
struggles the army has flourished in
Missoula and it's Influence for good
mas been far reaching. The Saliva
ton Army reaches a class of people
which badly needs a helping hand and
because this fact is being more fully
realized the supporters of he organ
ization are becoming more numerous
and generous. In it's care for the
poor the army has carried relief to
scores of families during the past
winter. It's Sunday school has in
creased in membership remarkably
during the past few months, there
now being an average of 90 children
in attendance. In every department
it has been growing until now it's fa-
~cilities for work are taxed to the ut
most. A substantial home is needed
above all things and Captain Bryant
proposes a plan which he believes can
be successfully carried through. This
is to purchase the Presbyterian church
and property at the corner of Stevens
and Cedar streets as soon the Pres
! byterians vacate it for the new church
that is to be built. The property can
purchased for $4,000 and would make
a splendid home for the Salvation
Army, as it is centrally located and
would provide plenty of room.
1T seems to me that the people of
Missoula. should assist us literally in
making the purchase of this property
Said Captain Bryant yesterday. Our
work in Missoula is on a splenid
footing and results speak for them
selves. That we need a home instead
of a dark basement room, which is all
we can afford at present and which
is the best the. army has ever had in
Missoula, is apparent. 1 have made
no definite plans for the purchase Of
the Presbyterian church property, but
if we receive any encouragement in the
idea I am sure that we could raise the
money"
Captain Bryant and three members
of his staff made a trip up the Bitter
Root this week, spending Monday and
Tuesday in Hamilton and Wednesday
at S~tevenSville. Captain Bryant
states that he met a millionaire in the
valley who became interested in the
work of the. army and who promised
to give assistance. With this mans
assistance he hopes to make his dream
of a Salvation home in Missoula come
true.
