action which resulted in tbe island
declaring itself a republic was prompted
by the Chang Tat Chong party, as op
posed to the LI family, General Tcheng
has been appointed foreign minister,
and Ky Sing Kuk, tbe originator of the
movement, has been superseded by
Tang. Dissensions have already occared,
and tbe common people, it is said, regard
the republican declaration as an official

San Francisco, June 1. An Exam!
ner special from Mazatlan says :
The . steamer, San Jnan has arrived
here with 21 passengers picked up from
. i it n.if T" ii
1 , - . . , - ,
r
the particulars of the disaster, which
they say happened on Monday at noon,
when the Colima was about 28 miles oat
from Manzanillo and 10 miles from
shore. All the rescued are badly bruised,
They were picked up from pieces of
wreckage and rafts, with tbe exception
of A. J. Sutherland, who had clung to
boat after it had capsized five times and
drowned the other occupants.
As all were afloat, lashed by tbe fierc
est gale of years, and buffeted by tbe an
gry seas for about twenty-four hoars,
they are hardly yet in condition to tell a
connected story of the wreck and tbe ex
periences of their escape, but many in
teresting particulars have been obtained.
The steamer was heavily laden, and
had a large deckload of lumber. . When
the storm struck , her she made bad
weather of it, the captain ; having diffi
culty in, keeping her head to tbe sea.
Tbe wind increased . until it is said to
have been the fiercest storm known
along this coast in twenty years. The'
sea rose rapidly. .Waves dashed over
the vessel and started her deckload. As
tbe waves rose and the storm increased,
the managing of the steamer became im
possible.. At last, about noon, her head
could no longer be kept up, and she
was thrown .on her beam ends. This
wave struck her with such force that the
steamer trembled as if she bad run on a
reef, and most of the passengers thought
this the caufce of the shocks. This gave
rise to the first reports that the ship had
struck on a reef.
Whether because of the heavy deck-
load, the shifting of the coal and cargo,
or the force of the storm, tbe steamer
would not right herself. The passengers
were pretty badly stunned by being
pitched about, but rushed upon the deck
in a panic.
Here -they met another danger. The
gale tore parts of the deckload of lumber
from its i fastenings and whirled the
heavy planks about with appalling vio
lence. Many were struck and maimed.
At least one passenger was killed by
having his head-crushed by a flying tim
ber. BRAVERY OP THE OFFICERS. .
In their terror the passengers made few
mental notes of their surroundings at
this juncture. The survivors say, how
ever, tbat tbe officers of tbe steamer
were brave and active. Captain Taylor
stood upon the bridge, his first officer,
D. E. Griffiths, with him. At an order
Griffiths rushed aft to superintend the
launching of lifeboat No. 5. : Second of-
fleer George Langhorne was at lifeboat
No.3, and succeeded in getting it
launched and filled with passengers.
Then down went the ship, ani Lang-
home's boat was capsized. All in the
boat are Supposed to have been drowned
Captain Taylor went down with the
ship, sticking to his post. .As the ship
pitched downward he blew three blasts
on the whistle, presumably as. a signal
of good-bve. .. Then be disappeared be

In the city conferring with Foley Bros,
the contractors associated with Donald
Grant in the construction, which is to
begin immediately. ,- The surveying is
completed, he said, and the grading will
begin today at a point near Gladstone, on
tbe Manitoba and Northwestern line,
fifty miles northwest of Winnipeg. One
hundred and twenty-five miles will be
completed this season. The route is
from Winnipeg, 650 miles to Hudson bay,
running in a northwesterly direction to
tbe mouth of the Saskatcbawan, and
from there direct to Port-Nelson. The
water route is from Port Kelson to Liver-
poo across the straits and along the
same line as the Dominion steamers.
The railroad will be 1,000 miles shorter
than that of the Canadian Pacific or any
other transcontinental route, and the
sea voyage will be 300 miles shorter than'
via Kew York. St. i'aul will be nearer
Liverpool by 600 miles via New York.
The rail distance to New York from St.
Paul is 1,300 miles, while to Port Nelson
it will be but 1,100 miles. : A fleet will
be put on as soon as the railroad is com
pleted. The main line will be completed
in two years, and will be operated in
three years. .
More of the Colima.
San Fbancisco, June 3. An Exami
ner special from the City of Mexico
says rescuing parties are still in search
ot survivors of the Colima disaster,
Land parties, mounted and afoot, are
operating in the vicinity of Ixtlancuan,
Laruata, Zacatula and as far south as
Nuevos, while the people alongthe coast
of Acapulca have information of the dis
aster, and nave been asked to take care
to patrol the beach wherever, possible,
Mot only are the sea and coast lines
being rapidly searched, bnt other parties
are operating on horseback as far inland
as 10 miles, in hope of encountering
more of the still living, who may have
found shelter in some of the small
Indian villages. It is believed by many
that a number of persons, made mad by
their terrible experience, on reaching
land have gone wandering about. As
many of the passengers were unable to
speak Spanish, they could not make
known their position and so would
be entirely helpless among the simple
but kindly Indians along tbe coast conn
try. It will not be strange if some in
land rescues are made during tbe present
week. .Survivors wbo have reached
Manzanillo say that Captain Pitts, of
the steamship San Juan, should have
cruised at least two days longer on the
diecovery of tbe wreck, and believe tbat
a good many others could have been
picked up that have since perished.
There are hopes that others may have
reached shore at Point San Telmo.
The steamer Mazatlan returned to
Manzanillo from the wreck yesterday.
May 31 she discovered a party of survi
vors on tbe beach from the second raft,
and sent a boat to bring them off. It
was capsized in the high surf. The men
are supposed to have reached shore.
The wire is down between here and
Coahuayane, and a man has been sent
on horseback 00 miles down the beach
for news.
The first raft survivors report seeing a
woman's head, with long black hair,
aBhore. The body had been cut off by
floating wreckage, or eaten by sharks
The steamers Bomerq, Bubise and Bar
racoota are still searching for survivors.
If any more are.fonnd they will be
brought to Manzanillo or taken te Aca
pnlco. . "' " ''
Laboring Men Object.
Chicago, June 3. A' the meeting of
the Chicago Trade and Labor Assembly,
held at the bricklayers' hall last night.
the committee appointed to investigate
the legality of the proposed use of street
railway cars as mail cars submitted its
report- It said so far as it could learn
there was no legal authority for the issue
of permits' for the use of these cars as
mail cars. In tbe course of the discos
si on on this subject, Delegate Pomeroy
denounced the opposition to the use of
street cars as mail cars as opposition to
the progress of civilization. : The real
objection to tbe use of cars on street-car
lines is said to be that in times of labor
disturbances tbe government might use
the iines for the transportation of troops,
and in case of a street car strike tbe men
would be compelled to refrain from stop
ping the cars, or else come into conflict
with the Federrl authorities? : ,

Mr. J. S. Fish has received from T.
W. Lee, general passenger agent of the

handsomely mounted. The skin was
exchanged for the bear which Mr. Fish

On June 4th, 1894, the water was well
up in the town and business practically
demoralized. Second street resembled a
canal in Venice and all kinds of craft
were plying np and down. The trade of
tbe town waa centralized on Washington I
between Third and Fifth and everyone
was huddled in small quarters. But the
courage of our citizens never departed
and they worked with a vim and de
termination that showed that it took
more than sixty feet of water to drown
their spirits.
Today has been prolific in runaways.
Early in the day Mr. Sechlar's team

the wagon, or what was left of it, dashed
into the sidewalk by tbe Lumbering
Company's store... Tho team kept np its
wild career and was last seen going np
Fourth street. : , One of the horses was
bleeding and seemed to be hart. .
An exciting runaway occurred this
morning on Tffird street. . A team be
longing to Mr. Sechlar was standing in
front of W. H. Young's blacksmith shop
and becoming frightened started sud
denly and overturned the wagon. Tie
horses didn't wish to lose any time and
made a straight line for borne, bnt tbe

Many of our fruit men are discouraged .

But we believe that increased produc
tion will better, rather than make
worse,, their condition. Tbe fact that
The Dalles is one of the lanrestwool

tendency to make tbe price here percep
tibly higher than at other markets.
When our market becomes known as a
large fruit market, and foreign buyers -
are attracted to it, we will do longer be
