ABOARD THE ABERDEEN, NEAH
HAY, May 21. 2 P. M. The steamer Aber
deen left Seattle at 2:30 this morning. with
over 300 passengers, and accommodations
for but 160. Many of thosa aboard loudly
demanded return of passage money, and
o er 40 men and women were kept on the
crowded decks over night without bertha.
Towards morning the passengers became
mutinous, and the order was given to put
In to Port Townsend and discharge the
overloaded vessel, which order was soon 1
changed by the captain when it became
apparent that many of those aboard were
anxious for a chance to libel the ship for
breach of contract and obtaining money
undor false pretenses. Neah Bay was
'then selected as a favorable port for dis
charging the angered argonauts, which,
on account of the lack of telegraphic
communication and Inability of the Injured
ones to secure legal action, was an Ideal
harbor In which to unload.
Passengers and crew were fighting all
night. Women and men were sleeping out
on the open deck on hay bales. The offi
cers were Independent and Insolent, and
offered but little assistance to the unfor
tunate ones who had paid $125 for a worse
than steerage accommodation.
Tho decks were piled high with freight
of all descriptions, including 40 head of
horses, lumber, hay, boats, etc The In
spectors passed so many aboard that there
Is not over 60 cubic feet of air space to each
passenger, while the deck space Is so lim
ited that there Is no opportunity for any
exercise whatever, and they are compelled
to remain In the stuffy staterooms, where
there are six sleeping In rooms 6x7 feet,
or considerably Jess than 60 cubic feet
for each passenger. So much freight was
loaded at the last moment that It was
decided to take the Inside passage, in
order to lessen the danger to life.
The passengers are furious, and threat
en legal action against the promoters of
the iniquitous enterprise, as well as bodily
injury to members of the crew. Unless
something Is done to alleviate their griev
ances, a general uprising will result, and
passengers will take matters into then
own hands.
ABEMlEEX "WAS OVERLOADED.

turned and Damages.
TACOMA, May 23. Trouble which had
been brewing for several days on the
Bteam schooner Aberdeen, which sailed
for Nome Sunday, broke out immediately
after she cleared from Seattle. The Aber
deen Is of the common class of steam
schooners engaged In the Coast trade, and
has limited passenger accommodations,
her regular certificate calling for 25 -first-class
and 6 steerage passengers or 31 In
all. In addition to a crew of about 2L
The agents of the steamer say they
only sold 234 tickets, but the passengers
say 26S were sold, and while she lay in
Seattle several of the passengers went to
the agents of the boat and demanded
the return of their passage money and
freight, basing their claim on the fact
that she was badly overloaded. Some of
these claims Were- allowed. Not satisfied
with building a lot of houses all over her
deck, Bnd bunks 'tween decks to stow
away the passengers in, the charterers
built up forward on the only open space
on the deck cattle-pens for about 60 head
of stock, so that when she cleared there
was really no place for the passengers to
exercise- themselves.
According to one of the passengers who
was put ashore at East Clallam, eight
men were put into a stateroom, which
was so small that only one man at a
time could get up to dress. The arrange
ments for feeding the passengers was alfco
very deficient.
The nine passengers who were put ashore
In the ship's boats at Clallam are A. B.
Jenkins. G. H. Church, Mrs. V. O'Brien,
Miss C. Alstrom. C. A. "West, Uomlnlck
Dubush and wife and Louis and Mrs.
Avcna. This party returned on the Alice
Gertrude, and demanded of the local
agents the return of their passage money
and $25 each for compensation, which was
given them, and all of them signed a re
lease to the company.
Shipping men say that If the Inspector
would establish a rule not to allow any
craft, no matter what her condition or
what trade she wishes to engage In, more
than double her regular passenger allow
ance. It would quickly put a stop to Ves
sels putting to sea In the cramped con
dition of the Aberdeen and a dozen oth
ers this month. Such ax rule would allow
the Aberdeen 62 passengers, fully 200 less
than she had on board -when she lay
alongside the dock in Seattle.

THE NEGRO'S RIGHTS.
Booker T. "Washington Says He
"Wants Eaunl Opportunity.
WASHLVGTON, May 23. Booker T.
Washington, of Tuskegee, last night de
livered an address on the future of tha
negro at the Metropolitan A. M. E.
Church. He said:
"In these latter days we hear much
of removing from our fundamental law
the precloue magna charta of our citizen
ship, the 15th amendment. Whether wise
ly or unwisely, this guarantee of our
rights was placed In the Constitution by
the ripest thought of the Nation at tho
time it was enacted, aad there, in my
mind, at the behest of the conservative
and patriotic opinion of both the North
and South, It will remain while the Con
stitution itself stands.
"What the negro asks Is equality of op
portunity. Close the door agamst the
negro now and within a few years tha
temptation will be to close It against a
class of white men. The minute you rec
ognize a law which taxes a negro for sup
port of a government and deny him the
opportunity to make his wishes felt at
the ballot-box, that minute you begin to
undermine our whole theory of govern
ment and throw to the winds the principles
for which the Revolutionary War was
fought."
Disappearance of a. Lake.
CHICAGO -May 23. A special to tho
Record,- from Guadalajara, Mex., says:
lany buildings In the town of Autlan.
situated in the southern part of the State
of Jallso, were demolished by the recent
earthquake. When the first trembllngg
were felt, the Inhabitants fled to tha
mountains. Had they remained in tha
houses there would have been heavy loss
of life. Much damage was also done in
Tuscacuesco and Tonita.
The water of a large lake near the town
of Zapotalan disappeared In a great fis
sure la the earth, which semed to be
produced by a second shock that lasted
about one minutes. The bed of the for
mer lake is now dry, and the fissure can
be plainly seen. It Is over three mllea
long and from one to three feet wide.
The tidal wave which swept in from tha
ocean after the shock did little damage.
Gisres Soughs said Golds
cures them quicker and
better than any cough mix
ture ever made. It does
more. It enriches the
blood, strengthens mind and
body, gives vigor and vital
ity. Cough mixtures won't
do this, nor will they cure
deep-seated, stubborn coughs.
