 The Admiral Sampson began to fill almost immediately with the impact, and Capt. Turkey. of the Princess Victoria, realizing that the only hope to save life lay in supporting the Ad- mirai Sampson for as long Q time as possible on the prov of his vessel, rang for slow speed ahead, and kept the bow of the Princess Victoria damned in the gaping wound in the Sampson's side for several moments.
 Fire added it's horrors to the scene almost before the passengers began to issue from their staterooms. The bow of the Princess Victoria entered the side of the Admiral Sampson at a point where a large amount of fuel was stored. and crushed several con- tainers. The black fluid rushed from the ships side in a stream, and as friction of the two great steel vessels rubbing together continued flames were generated and the oil caught fire

ENGLISH CREDIT MATTER OF ONLY
 FEW DAYS MORE

NEW YORK. Aug. SO.-As 8 result of conferences between leading bank CTS in New York and London the completion of arrangements for a huge British credit in this market appears to be a matter of @ very few days. At the close of the meeting in the office of J. P. Morgan 6 Co.,, it was stated by a banker who has been taking a prominent part in the negotiations that while no plans have crystalized. financiers are approach ing an agreement whicr should re- store parity of exchange The chief difference. it is understood, is regard ing the size of external loan which England bankers would like to place here. Some of the interested bank CTS believe than to clean up-the sit uation a credit ofnot less than $750.- 50O.OOO should be arranged, and 1t is not likely that less than S5OO.O0O.- 900 will be decided upon.
 Don't Want Gold
 International bankers say they  would deplore the arrival of a great quantity of gold in the New York market as 1t would ten to cause in- jury abroad by weakening foreign reserves, already very low In addi- ton, superabundance here, 1t is feared. would cause a tendency to- wards imitation.
 And For France Too
 There are indication that negotia- tions pending between Morgan & Go. anod Paris will result in another loan probably larger than the first one of S4S,OOO.OOO, as the French govern ment will have very heavy payments to make in this country before the end of September

Can't Find ugly Woman.

or course. there are no homely girls
in Pittsburgh. so this item will not
interest the fair sex OF the steel city.
Il is merely written TO show how con-
ceited are the New York girls. A
theatrical manager offers the chance
of a lifetime for the most homely
woman in existence. but so far not
one has come to the front 10 prove
she is a perfect bear. II this frightful
example OF reverse beauty is ever
found there is awaiting her a big part
in a costly production, fame. money
and a theatrical future. The author
who wrote this homely woman part
knew his New York all right and ne
assumed there would be no difficulty
finding such a person for the role.
But he failed TO reckon with the alarm
ing lockers, for they have passed the
buck TO their sisters OF still uglier
facial construction. In the meantime
the theatrical manager has reached
the stage where he does not care
whether the ugly woman has ever
had any stage experience before. He
will accept for the part only one who
can produce a warty proboscis. the
lnock-knees, the straight hair, the
absent chin, the tapping ears. the
spear elbows, the ham hands and the
steeplechase smile.-New York Cor
