Dl.tre.., and Then Suddenly
Disappeared.
V Seattle, Nov. 2 The lumber lohooner
Fanny Dutard, Captain Peterson, arrived
at Port Blakely yesterday. She reports
that the mining Ivanhoe, with F. J.
(rant, ex-minister to Bolivia, on board,
probably sank on the afternoon of Hep
temlwr 30.
"We left Port Biukely," suid Captain
Peterson, ''on September 26 last, bound
for Santa Biu oara with lumber. We
tailed out under a light wind and arrived
at the cupe on the 30lh, where we found
a strong southeast wind blowing. We
taw a tug tow out ship that same
evening and drop her off the cape. That
night it rained vory heavily, and there
was about a 60-mile-an-hour wind com
ing up over the ocean. About 12 o'clock
I think it was, that same night we saw
hip to leeward of us. It continue
blowing heavy from the southeast all
night, and kept on till about 11 o'clock
of the morning of the 30th, when it
moderated. A ship was in company
with us, but too far away for us to make
out her name or what hor cargo. Khe
appeared to have a terrible list to star
board. At about 12 :30 o'clock I was on
the port tack and the other vessel was
on the starboard tack, distant. I think,
alwut four miles. She was apparently
hove to with lower topsails. We could
tee tiiat something was wrong with her,
for her list was in the wrong direction, I
was not concerned much about her, for I
expected we would run nearer togother
soon, and, having been up most of the
night before, I went below about 1 o'clock
and turned In. Twenty minutes later,
or, as nearly as I can tell now, at 20
minutes past 1 o'clock, my first mate,
Harry Staunton, name below, and, call
ing me, said that the ship had disap
peared. I hastened on deck at once.
The horizon was clear, and the ship had
disappeared as If by magic. After look
ing for her from the deck without seeing
her, I ran up into the rigging and swept
the horrizen in the direction the vessel
had Wore occupied, but there was not a
sign of her presence visible. I then kept
the tchooner off for 20 minutes to see if
any ship' boats apxared on the water,
or if any wreckage of any kind could be
sighted. We could see nothing of this
kind, so I went to work and hove the
schooner to again in double-reuted sails,
but while we were in the vicinity we
could see nothing of any boats or wreck
age. The latitude we were in, as shown
by the schooner's log, was 47 :03, longi
tude 127:01 west, Cape Flattery bearing
N.K., ,'uE., and distance 95 miles."
It appears that Captain Peterson had
not heard that the Ivanboe was overdue.
and prolably lost, until he got back to
Tort ISInkeley, when hearing it spoken
of, he at once connected her with the
ship he saw founder at sea. The Fanny
Dutard, instead of towing, sailed out
and did not reach the cape till the 20th,
one day later than the day the Ivanhoe
it reported to have been cast off by the
tug Tice. A storm is reported to have
risen the evening of the 2Hth oil" the
cape, and the Ivanhoe must have beon
unable to make any headway against it
and remained close reefed not far off
the cape.
Captain Peterson hud no means of
knowing if the vessel he saw on the
afternoon and night of the 20th was the
same that was near hi in on the morning
of the 30th, but the presumption is that
It was one and the same ship, and that
ship inmt have been the Ivanhoe. She
was full-rigged vessel, without distin
guiHhing features.
Yokohama, Nov. 2. It is announced
here that the investment of Port Ar

lcumnml Traaltte at Peru.
VlCTOitiA. Nov. 2. Humors havo been
afloat the past few days that the Pacific
Hquudron had been ordered to Peru, that
the British consulate atCallao had been
attacked by revolutionists, and that
members of the consul's family had been
murdered. Although these roports can
not be traced to an authoritative source,
the fact that II. M. 6. Champion and
the flagship Royal Arthur leave today
for Oil I no would imply that there is
souie foundation for them. There baa
been an urgency about the movements of
these war vesse s durine the oust few
days that can only indicate that their
mission south Is at leant ot important if
not serious nature.
London, Nov. 2. Inquiries made at
the admiralty and foreign offices today

but just. Ho abhorred all foreign in
fluence, but especially that of Germany."

The Funeral Cortege Will I' an. Through
a Wall of Cossack..
Livadia, Nov. 3. Arrangements have
been completed for the removal of the
remains of Alexander III to St. Peters
burg. They are unusual and extraordi
nary. The minister of war will have
the Russian army guarding the cortege
the entire distance.
As the minister of war states, these
large bodies of troops are to form guards
of honor along the route. Every bridge
over which the train carrying the impe
rial remains is to pass, will be absolute
ly in control of the military. At all
large stations arguments of infantry will
patrol. All demonstrations of affection
will be made in the rear of the living
walls of troops.
From here to Odessa the train will
pass through a continuous line of Cos
sacks. Trains will pick up these men
and leave them at unprotected points,
while the remains lie in state in Odessa.
Movements of the forces began last
nigbt. By Sunday night the roads will
be controlled by the war office.
These precautions are the result of
nihilist threats and a plot that was un
earthed at St. Petersburg. That some
of the plotters would blow up the impe
rial trail with its dead and attendant
living members of the czar's family, if
the opportunity presented, there is no
doubt.
Since the embalming of the czar's
remains yesterday, the palace has been
completely surrounded by palace dra
goons. No strangers are permitted to
approach the palace.
The czarina is completely prostrated.
It was observed during the latter part of
the czar's illness that the czarina's hair
had become streaked with white.
Tonight it is said that Princess Alix,
after the funeral, will go to Moscow on a
visit to her sister, the Grand Puchess
Sergius.
Claim, of the Leader..
Washington, Nov. 3. Little work re
mains at congressional committee head
quarters of either of the great parties be
fore the battle royal Tuesday. Naturally
the democratic chairman, Faulkner, and
the republican chairman, Babcock, and
the populist chairman, Taubeneck, all
claim the next house, and are ready to
prove their assertions.
It is noticeable, however, that Babcock
is the most boastful, and by far the most
extravagant in his estimate. He asserts
bis canvass shows that there will be 252
republican members elected, making a
majority of 74.
It is evident that Faulkner believes
the democrats will have a majority of
sevsn or eight, although he will not
allow himseif to be pinned down to the
exact number.
Taubeneck thinks Babcock crazy and
that Faulkner shows sign of the same
disease. Taubeneck is more certain
than ever of the populists obtaining the
balance of power and havealready buried
both of the old political parties.
Walte Preparing for War.
Denver, Nov. 3. Considerable uneasi
ness prevails in Denver over the outcome
of the elections in this state Tuesday.
Governor Waite has absolute control
over tbe police department in this city,
and he has not hesitated to intimate
that any attempts to make fraudulent
count cr illegal voting will result in
trouble. He has issued, secretly, a
notice to the military and artillery com
panies to be in readiness to respond to
his orders.
The sheriff has sworn in large num
ber of deputies to meet any intimidation
by the police.
At Fort Logan, federal troops have
been furnished full rounds of ammuni
tion, and all preparations have been
made for quick entrance into the city
should a riot be started. It is generally
rumored on tbe street that Governor
Waite will make some pretext to cause
the vote of Denver to be thrown out.
Prlncea. Alia Will Kot Have to Anathe
matise Her Uwa Faith.
Berlin, Nov. 3, A dispatch to the
Tagblatt from St. Petersburg says rings
were exchanged yesterday between czar
Nicholas and Princess Alix. The funeral
of the late czar has been fixed for be
tween November 16 and 20, and the
wedding of the czar and Princess Alix
will take place a few days later. It is
expected the czar will, upon this occa
sion, prant an extensive political
amnesty.
A short time before the death of the
czar he decided that the required ana
thema could be omitted from the docu
ment attesting the Princess Alix' abjura
tion of her former faith, after which the
princess signed. The imperial procla
mation was publicly read at Livadia to
day. People are swearing allegiance to
the new emperor. The body of Alex
andria will be embalmed.
Messages ot sympathy and condolence
continue to pour into the Russian em
bassy here and at Paris, Berlin and
Vienna.
Special services to celebrate the acces
sion of Nicholas II to the throne of
Russia was held today in the palace
church. . It was attended by tbe czar,
czarina, queen of Greece, Duchess of
SaxeCoburg-Gotha, Princess Alix of
Hesse-Darmstadt and the grand dukes
and grand duchesses now at Livadia.
Te California Election,
San Francisco, Nov. 3. A special to
the Call from Washington, says : "The
democratic congressional committee to
day received letters from every congres
sional ditttiict in California. Tbe tenor
of these reports show that the democrats
of California have almost a hopeless
fight on their hands as regards the state
ticket. They concede that English will
be defeated in tbe third district, and
that Geary has a hard fight in the first,
and will probably lose. Caminette may
pull through in tbe second district, ac
cording to these advices, and Judge Ma
gnire will probably be elected in the
fifth. Loud and Bowers will both b
returned, with a chance for Bowman,
populist, in tbe Los Angeles district."
Hill'. Great Ovation.
Elmira, Nov. 3. The ovation given
Hill tonight at bis old home was never
equaled in the history of the state. A
special wigwam was built for the speech.

banging on the rafters like monkeys,
with 10,000 outside.
The crowd removed tbe horses and
pulled the carriage through the streets
to the wigwam. Hill was introduced as
the "Pride and hope of the democracy
of the nation."
Japanese Strategy.
London, Nov. 3. A Shanghai dispatch
says that the report that the Japanese
army is on the eve of taking Port Arthur

ing the Chinese who are retreating from
Chien-Lin-Chen, after which the com
bined forces will proceed to Pekin.

bis father, and will pursue his father'a
policy of trj ing to preserve the peace of
Europe.
The Administration Estimate.
San Francisco, Nov. 5. The follow
ing Washington special appears in thia
morning's Examiner: "It doubtless
will astonish the politicians of the
country, particularly those in New
York, to learn that the figures in pos
session of members of the administra
tion show the possible defeat qf David
B. Hill for governor by 30,000 plurality.
It is not claimed that these figures are
the result of any special canvass. They
are based simply on information that
could be obtained without unusual effort
and a general knowledge of the situation
in that state. In estimating tbe prob
able vote in New York for governor the
administration have not confined them
selves to one method, but have made a
comparison of the general vote of the
last three years and a detailed state
ment of the probable county pluralities.
These tables are in possession of officials
socloeetothe president that it is quite
certain tbey have been shown to Mr.
Cleveland. If any one has supposed
that the interest of the administration
has been confined solely to congressional
district fights, aud that tbe complexion
of the next house has been alone a mat
ter of moment, he has been misled.
Every move in the battle of the gover
norship of New York state has been
followed closely by the president, whose
keen interest has been shared by hia
cabinet, particularly by Secretaries La
mont and Bissell. Private Secretary
Tburber has kept himself thoroughly
posted on tbe New York situation, and
tbe probabilities have been gone over
again and again."
Foreca.t of the Result by Different
Partle.
Chicago, Nov. 6. The Inter Ocean
prints tbe following forecast of Tuesday's
election from its Washington correspond
ent: "It can now be confidently stated
withont fear of injuring plans which
have been made, that it is the expecta
tion of the republicans that they will
have a majority of the next bouse.
Conceding everything to the democrats
said to be conceded to the extreme
verge of conservatism, and making no
claim in some of the southern states
where the republicans have a right to
believe that they will be successful, it
is maintained that the republicans wilt
certainly cut the democratic majority
down to 38; that they wilt probably
have a majority of 10 for protection and
prosperity, and that they possibly may
have a majority 46. Without going in
to details by congressional districts,
this estimate by states is as follows :
Total number of representatives 356;
democrats, 155: republicans, 159, prob
able republicans in addition, 24; doubt
ful, with a strong probability that many
of them will be republican ,'18.
Incorrect List of Voter..
Fresno, Cal., Nov. 5. It has been
discovered that the great register of the
county, just printed, fails to record a
number of names of citizens entitled to
vote, and the omissions are so numerous
and serious that it is more than prob
able that the election will be invalidated.
Tbe chairmen of three party committees,
the republicans, democrats and pop
ulists, held a meeting yesterday and de
cided to have a supplement issued in
haste, containing all the omitted names
discovered up to this moiing. There
is little doubt that the trouble has
arisen from careless clerical work, and
that the printers are not responsible,
but tbe situation is very grave as it
stands.
Militia Assembled at Kansas rite.
Kansas Citv, Nov. 5. A special order
has been issued by Governor Stone that
the Third regiment of the National
Guard of Missouri assembled at tbe ar
mory tonight In this city, and remain
nnder arms until after election. The
cause of tbe order is said to be a fear of
a collision between the American Pro
tective Association element and the
rougher portion of the Catholics, be
tween which two factions the feeling is
already very high.
