Nc Queen, of the signal corps at Fort Gbibon, to give one graphic detail of what happened before the steamer went down. The following is an extract from Seattle paper contain. ing his final letter:
 JUNEAU. Alaska, Wednesday, Oct. 30.-How one woman passenger don ned black evening dress that she might be prepared to die and some of the happenings on the Princess Sophia before she sank are told in 8 letter found on the body of Private A. w. Mcqueen, Fort Gibbon sol dier, dated Friday afternoon. The letter follows:
 The Princess Sophia is on rock and when we get away Is a ques- ton. It's seorming now and we can see only couple of hundred yards on account of the snow and spray. At 3 8. m. yesterday she struck submerged rock at high tide and for a while there was some excite ment, but no panic. Two women tainted and one got herself into black evening dress and didn't worry over who saw her putting 1t on. Some of the men. too, kept life preservers on for an hour or two and seemed to think there was no chance for us. We passed thru the first real danger point at high tide. 6 a, m., when 1t was thot she might pound her bottom out on the rocks, and everyone then settled down to wait for help.
 We had three tug boats here in the afternoon, but the weather was too rough to transfer any passengers. The 1 most critical time, nobody except the ships officers and we soldiers and a few sailors among the crew were told about, was at low tide, noon.
 Feared She Would Capsize
 The captain and chief officer figur' ed she was caught on starboard bow and would hang there while she set tied on the port side and astern. They were afraid she would turn turtle but the bow pounded around and slipped until she settled in groove well supported Onward and on both sides. The wind and the sea from behind pounded and pushed her until she is now, thirty hours afterwards on the rocks clear back to the mid dle and can't get, off.
 She is a double bottom boat and her inner hull is not penetrated, SC here we stick, She pounds some on a rising tide. The steam pipe twisted off and we were without lights last night, but the pipe was fitted later
 A long story is told by Paul Ora l AdAp OA JOAOoub OAA AAo S'AAA'oA e@' Seattle of the attempts to take the passengers off the wreck. In his opin ion every soul aboard could have been taken off when assistance was offered. One body was picked up that of a colored woman from the Yukon country that had $S0.000 iu bills sewed in her garments. Another body, g mans, was picked up and S4O,O00 was found on him.

SEE NEED OF CITY PLANNING
Japanese Municipal Authorities Awake
to Dangers Connected With Con.
gested centers of Population.

The remarkable expansion Of jap
anese cities during the last few years
has accentuated the urgent necessity
Of city planning. With this end In
view a conference Of the mayors Of
the leading Japanese cities has oc-
Cured at Tokyo. Among those present
were the mayors of Osaka, Yokohama,
Nagoya, Kyoto and Kobe, while Tokyo
municipality was represented by
Messrs. Kabashima and Ogino.
"In Tokyo, city planning was set on
foot twenty years ago. about the same
time the question of city planning was
receiving attention In Europe and
America" said Doctor Seki, mayor of
Osaka, in an interview with a Tokyo
Yomiuri representative. SIN Osaka,
however, it Is only few years since
the problem began to claim serious at
tention, although the necessity Of city
planning in Osaka is perhaps more ur.
gent than in other cities. The density
of population in Osaka is certainly
greater than in other places and i'm
provement in sanitary and other mat
ters is urgently needed. 1t is esti-
mated that the population Of Osaka
twenty years hence will be 2,650,0O0
and that of the two neighboring dis
tricts 100000, making total Of s.
100000. This estimate is based on the
present rate Of increase, but it Is pos
sible the rate of increase may be
larger. Herein lies the urgent nature
Of city planning for Osaka"

FISH Affected BY WARFARE
Explosion Of Mines Off British Coast
Has Resulted In Great Diminutlon
Of Catches, Is Report.

Wilfred Buzley, who Is on the way
to his tea plantation in Assam, India,
said on his arrival in this city that the
frequent explosions Of mines off the
British coast had caused great search
ty of fish, according to New York
Times. This was especially the case
along the east coast of England and
Scotland, and had also affected the
coast of Holland. Herring, which for
merly were plentiful at this season Of
the year off the coast of Scotland, sell
Ing at cent apiece retail. now bring
16 cents, he said, and were scarce.
Founders and cod, formerly eight to
ten cents a pound, are now worth 30
cents at retail. 1t was only at rare
intervals, Mr.. Buzley said, that the
poor were able to purchase fish.
"The only fish In British waters that
appeared to defy the mines and tor
pedoes," Mr.. Buzley continued, SIS
the hardy halibut. Just before sailed
from England one Of the steam trawl-
ers off the coast was about to haul
in the lines when the captain noticed
giant halibut following close behind
cod that was impaled on one of the
hooks. The halibut made several at
tempts to swallow the cod and was
eventually hauled up onto the deck Of
the trawler. THE skipper told me that
the big fish weighed 1873 pounds, and
was sold in the market for $780,"
