May 24-The wooden steamer Baltimore foundered this morning In Lake Huron naar Au Sable and twelve of her crew of four teen were drowned. The two men were washed about ln the lake for several hours, lashed to pieces of wreckage, and were finally picked up by the tug Columbia and brought here. George McG-nnls, a deck hand, one of the rescued, went crazy from bis experience. The other survivor. Thos Murphy, of Milwaukee, second engineer, was able to tell the awry of the dis aster. The dead are: Captain M. H. master of the steamw. Mrs. M. H. Place, wife of Ciptain Place, stewardess. Michael Bneathn. first mate. John Delders. second steward. Ed tvl Owfli, wheelman. George W. Scott, watchman. Herbert Winning, wutchmao. P. M. Marcus, chief engineer. William Barker, fireman. P. Krueger, fireman, August Anderson, deckhand. It was some time ofwr the Columbia had brought the shipwrecked men Into port before Murphy was revived suffi ciently to tell his story. The Baltimore foundered about o'clock this morning and he was in the water until a late hour in the after noon. "We were bound from Lorain to Sauk Ste Marie," he said, "and bad ln tow a large steamer drill and scow, When off Thunder bay last night Cap. tain Place decided to turn about and run for Tawas for shelter. When we arrived off Au Sable, the steamer struck heavily on the bottom. Seas broke over ner at the same time and carried away The deckhouse, then the after cabin and finally the smokestack fell.

Discontent among the natives at the appointment of American Judges and discriminations ln the civil service in favor of Americans is finding expression, encouraged by some native Judges who are aware that reorganisation of the Judiciary will re sult In the loss of their positions. Judge Neer, of the court of first In stance, of Tondo, one of the leaders of what Is beginning to be called the radi cal wing of the federalists, declared today that If such things continue there will be a second revolution.

General Man- ager Gustav H. Schwab, of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company in America, who has been ln Europe for the last two and a half months and who returned home on the Kaiser Wil helm der Grosse, In an interview upon business conditions in Europe said: "While In Europe, especially in Ger many and England, I saw, that the business men there were muofc disturb ed over the Increasing competition from this side and seemed to fear the Increase In power of industrial combi nations. The alarm is so great that I am certain that some scheme of self protection on the part of the govern ments affected will undoubtedly be per fected. "Of course thT are great difficulties to be met in forming an Industrial and commercial combination against the United States, but there Is every rea son to believe that earnest efforts ef forts thit may have serious conse quence to the trade of this country will be made. "I heard similar talk In Germany which resulted In my becoming firmly convinced that commercial and Inter national peace between this country and the European nations Imperatively calls for certain concessions on our part, without affecting our own industries. Unless we do mike some kind of con cessions, Europe will, as sure as fate, put some kind of a restraint duty on American products." Referring to the reported steamship combination effected by J. P. Morgan. Mr. Schwab said: "The British public is giving it a lot of concern but to the average steam ship man who understands the situa tion It does not seem to be nearly so dangerous as some people think. As an American, speaking as the agent of a German trans-Atlantic line, I do not think the reported amalgamation will affect the continental lines. Germany will certainly keep abreast of the times in the matter of ships whether of great cargo capacity or of speed. SEVENTY MINERS LOST. Fearful Explosion in Welsh Colliery No Hope for Entombed Men.
