-OTER-300 DROW jTlie Steamship Elbe, Struck by the, Crathie, Goes Down. OXLY OXE BOATLOAD IS SAVED. the Crathie Cut the Elbo Almost In Two and the Doomed Vessel Immediately ; "Went to the Bottom Passengers Were Aaleep and when Awakened Rushed on Seek In Their 2iisht Clothinc AU Kluht In the Biting Cold In an Open Boat Tales of Survivors. ,The North German Lloyd steamer Elbe was sunk with nearly 400 passen gers aboard In the North Sea by col lision with the British steamer Crathie, bound from Rotterdam for Aberdeen. ' The following statement of the disas ter was officially given by the German vice consul, Herr Bradber, after sifting all the interviews with survivors and cross-qu estionin g officers and crew, and it may be classed as the consensus of the Officers' opinions: , "The collision occurred 45 miles from the Merschelling lightship. Though both the Elbe and the colliding steamer Crathie were going full steam ahead, the concussion was very slight Imme diately after the collision the Elbe be gan to settle down, stern first, her bow mounting high into the air and render ing it impossible to reach some of the boats. "As everybody crowded upon the deck immediately after the shock, and in a state of great alarm, it was impossible for the orders of the captain, who was standing on the bridge, that the women and children should be saved first, to be obeyed. "A rush was made for the boats that were accessible. The first boat to touch the water was immediately swamped and the passengers who had crowded into it were drowned. The second boat launched was lost sight of in the high sea which was running, but it is feared she capsized. ' "In the third boat, at the last mo ment, when the . water was up to the promenade deck, the vessel sinking un der their feet, and two minutes before she disappeared, there crowded 19 men, the women and children having rushed to the other side, owing, it is said, to a command that they should get into the boats there. "This third boat pulled away from the ship, and in so doing shortly afterward passed a lady passenger, Hiss Anna Bnecher, who clung to the gunwale or side of the lifeboat. Some time elapsed before she could be pulled into the boat. "The 20 survivors drifted about for nearly 13 hours, the heavy seas repeat edly washing over the small craft, Which was in constant danger of being swamped, and drenching its occupants who had not a morsel of food. "Hiss Bnecher lay in the bottom of the boat half-drowned and semi-unconscious. The lights of many vessels were seen all around, but not one approached, though after daylight a steamer and two fishing vessels passed. Their crews, however, did not notice the signals ot the lifeboat. Finally, the waving of a shirt from the boat attracted the atten tion of the crew of the fishing smack "Wildflower, which rescued the surviv ors with extreme difficulty. "After the collision the Crathie passed under the stern of the Elbe and pro ceeded on her course without paying any heed to the cries of the people on board of the sinking steamer. " A preliminary inquiry was held into the sinking of the Elbe. The surviving officers said in substance: "The Elbe was proceeding on a south sonthwest course' down the channel, steaming about 15 knots. When about 43 miles off 3Ierschelliug lightship a vessel was eeen approaching two ami a half points off the port below. This ves sel's course was apparently west-northwest. According to the rule of tat- rm at sea the vessel should have por:e-.i her helm and passed under the Elbe's stem. Both vessels, however, kept their courses and struck. The shock of the concus sion was very slight. " 'The officers of the North German Lloyd Steamship company have given for publication the following figures as the total number of persons on board the Elbe: Fifteen first cabin, 31 second cabin, two going from Bremen to Southamp ton, 187 steerage and 149 crew, of whom 20 are known to be saved, making a total of 314 lost. At least, that is the number missing and there is very little hope entertained - that any of those will eventually be heard from alive. It is true, however, that some Yarmouth and Lowestoft fishing smacks, which are out on cruises in the vicinity of where the Wildflower picked up the Elbe's boat containing 20 survivors, have not yet returned to their home ports, so there still remains the possibility that one or more of them may have rescued some of the unfortu nates of the lost steamer. Fifteen fishing smacks which sailed near the spot where the Elbe lies have arrived at Lowestoft. Not one reported having seen any sign of the wreck or passengers. Their reports almost ban ished the last hope of finding the second lifeboat. Another smack returning later brought a boat s rudder and log line, but there was nothing to indicate what boat they were from. The Crathie Leave the Elbe. When the Crathie struck the Elbe the shock was very slight. The engines of the Crathie were reversed and she backed out of the hole amidships in the Elbe and the water rushed in. Surviv ors say that rockets were sent np from the deck of the Elbe before she went down, but the Crathie paid no atten tion to them and steamed away. . The Crathie was not damaged much by the collision. The officers of the Crathie rsiort that the Elbe immediately disap peared and they thought she had pro ceeded, uninjured, on her way. The Crathie steamed around the place of the accident, but saw no boats containing passengers. Confusion and Panlo on the Elbe. Although the force of the collision was not very grent, the passengers iu the first and second cabins were awak ened and heard the rushing waters. Partially dressed they rushed np the tompanionway and joined the panic stricken, shivering people who hud pre ceded them. Everything was confusion. While women mid children were scream ing and men rushing excitedly about, the captain was shouting orders which could not be heard. Attempts to loverf the boats were delayed by frozen ropes snd axes were used to chop the lifeboats loose. When a boat was lowered it was almost immediately capsized by the waves or swamp 3d by too many passen gers jumping into it. So far as known only one lifeboat got away from the sinking ship. There were many Americans among the lost passengers. Lieutenant Bran son and wife of Oakland were drowned. Mrs. Branson was a baroness, related to Countess Von Moltke, and was on her way to Berlin to claim a fortune belong ing to her. She was 18 years old, very beautiful and popular. Lieutenant Branson belonged to the National Guard of California and had a host of ! friends. I Henry N. Castle, prominent among the Hawaiian republicans and owner of the Honolulu Advertiser, was also ! drowned.

Cal.. the family of William Freitas, including four adults and a baby, were burned and braised and the residence destroyed by an ex plosion of a loaded stick of firewood and fire which followed the explosion. The members of the family were comfort ably seated about a stove, the fire hav ing a few moments previously been re pleuished with a big piece of wood, when suddenlv there was a terrific ex plosion, the concussion hurling the four ! grown persons to the floor and blowing i the babe from its chair across the room. ; The fragments of the stove flew about i like a charge of canister and blazing bits of wood rained fire in the room. The residence was burned to the ground. The will of the late James G.

For seven years sho had been nuabln'towalk or move any part of her body except her hands and head on account of in juries to her spine received by a fall when she was only 5 years old. She was a bright child and could read and write. For a year or more past she had been collecting canceled postage stamps and friends from all over the United States were sending them to her. In this way she supported herself by selling stamps to dealers. During the past year she collected 1,000,000 stamps in this way, for which she received 100. She had to lie on her stomach all the time, and in that uncomfortable jiosition she would work day after day writing letters and counting stamps that had been sent her, but 6he was always bright and cheer ful. A few days ago the mails brought her a copy of the Washington Post, which contained a notice that she was a fraud and not an invalid. This notice had the effect of breaking Ednee Grow er's heart, fur she became ill ami tlied.

R1PANS CHEMICAL CO., lO Spruco Stroat, NEW YORK. a.JL.irvrv!' j Tho attorney geiier:;l Ira written an opinion which causes ,";reat consterna tion among army and navy oilicers who will undoubtedly U-.-t its legality in the courts. Mr. Oiney decides that in mak ing their returns for the income tax they must include all allowances as pay they receive from the government. This means their quarters, fuel, forage and mileage they receive when they travel for the government. The officers are licking now whether the same rule is to bo applied to senators ami repn-senhi-tives and other officers of th-; govern ment. Congressman receive mileage and an allowance for stationery and clerk hire, and cabinet officers and other civil officials have their expenses paid when they travel for the government, and, to go a little further, they insist that the same rule should be applied to commer cial travelers, who are equally allowed their hotel bills and railroad fare. They argue that if an allowance for traveling expenses and for quarters is part of the income of an army or navy officer it is part of the income of a drummer who lives at a hotel, and they will ask the courts to so decide the question.
