BURNED; ALL PASSENGERS
ARE REPORTED SAVED

Chicago, Sept. with several hun
bred passengers. most of them women
and children, the City of Chicago, an
excursion steamer, caught fire early
today several miles off shore. Racing
against the flames. the steamer made
for the government break water and
the passengers were landed q moment
before the boat sank.
Captain Bjorlk declared he believed
that all had been taken Off safely.
The passengers, many of whom had
been drawn from the water, were hud-
died on the breakwater and later were
taken ashore on tugs and in other ex-
cursion boats. Some expressed the
belief that several occupants Of berths
had been drowned. One man taken
from the water said the passengers had
not been awakened until a few minutes
before the boat sank. He had been
asleep in his berth, he said, and awoke
only when the smoke became over
towering.
The City OF Chicago belonged to the
Graham e. Morton Transportation
company and had been in use since
1890 as an excursion boat. She left
Benton Harbor late last night for Chi
cago.
Fire Started in Galley.

the galley, was discovered when about
three miles off the Illinois shore. Cap
tain Bjork ordered that the ship be
rushed for shore and the flaming boat
was driven full force into the govern
ment pier.
The boat struck so hard that much
OF the piling was torn down and the
plaster was knocked from q dwelling
on the structure
The passengers, all of whom had been
ordered aft by the captain. were tossed
about many OF them being thrown
into the water.
Captain Charles Garland of the life
saving service took charge of the
rescue work. He and Captain Bjork
said the passengers had acted with re-
markable GOODNESS. Women and chill
dren were given the first opportunity
to reach the pier. Stationing himself
at the side of the boat, Captain Bjork
shouted that not man was to leave
the ship until the women and children
were safe.
Most OF the passengers rushed to the
upper decks when they learned of the
fire and nearly all of them were clad
only in their night garments when they
left the boat. No effort was made to
save personal effects.

DIED IN A Vain
ATTEMPT TO GET
TO NORTH POLE
Surviving Members of the
Sedoff Party Arrive at
Archangel and Tell of
Commanders Death.

London, Sept. IA st. Petersburg
pany, reports that surviving members
Of the arctic expedition, headed by
Lieutenant Sedoff, which left for the
north in 1912, have arrived at Arch
angel.
The survivors stated that Lieutenant
Sedoff died in a vain attempt to reach
the north pole. The expedition win
tered in 1912 and 1913 in newly dis
covered territory and later Sedoff pro-
ceeded to Franz Josefland, whence he
started for the pole, accompanied by
two sailors. The leader fell i'll on the
way and died.
The Russian government sent an ex-
petition to the relief of Lieutenant
Sedoff early in 1914, and it is probable
that this expedition effected the rescue
of the explorer
According to Lieutenant Sedoff's
plans, the expedition on reaching Franz
Josefland was to divide itself in two
parts at the beginning of 1918. The
polar party, consisting of the lieuten-
ant and two companions, was to make
a dash for the pole, while the other
members remained at winter quarters
to carry on scientific work.
The first subscription to defray the
expenses of the expedition was $1,000
given by Emperor Nicholas.
Lieutenant Sedofc has been credited
with the novel idea of using polar
bears to draw his sledges.
