ONE SANK WITHIN A FEW MINUTES Nearly Five Hundred Lives Lost in the Disaster Flagship Victoria Went Down. London, June 23. A frightful calam ity has befallen the British battle-ship Victoria, flagship of the Mediterranean squadron, and hundreds of Uvea have been lost. The Victoria which flew the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, K. C. B., was run into off Tripoli, Syria, by the British battle-ship Camperdown, also belonging to the Mediterranean squadron, and under the command of Captain Charles Johnstone. The' Vic toria had an enormous hole made in her side, through which the water poured in torrents. The immense hull of the Victoria at once began to settle, and before those on board could cast loose their small boats she went to the bot tom, carrying down with her nearly all on board. Some of the officers and crew managed to get out of the suction caused by the sinking vessel and were rescued. Among those lost are Vice Admiral Tryon. The first reports of the disaster stated that about 200 men had been drowned, but later dispatches show the loss of liie is far greater, not less than 400, officers and crew oi the Victoria having gone down with the ship. The Victoria was a twin-screw battle-ship of 10,470 tons and 14,000 horsepower. She mounted 15 guns. The Camperdown is also a first-class twin-screw battle-ship, 10,600 tons and 11,600 horsepower, and carries 10 guns Admiral Sir George Tryon was com mander-in-chief of the Mediterranean station. Rear-Admiral Albert H. Markham, of the Trafalgar, the flagship of the rear admiral in the Mediteraanean, has telegraphed the admiralty from Tripoli, Syria, under date of today, as follows : - "I regret to report that while maneu vering off Tripoli this afternoon the Vic toria and Camperdown collided. The Victoria sank in 15 minutes in 18 fathoms of water. She lies bottom up permost. The Camperdown's ram struck the Victoria forward of the tur ret on the starboard side. Twenty-one officers were drowned. Two hundred and fifty-five men were saved. The in jury to the Camperdown is not yet fully ascertained, but is serious, and will necessitate her going to the dock for re pairs. I propose to send the survivors to Malta." The Victoria carried 600, officers and men. June Crop Report. Wheat. The report ot June 1st, based on returns to the department of agricul ture, makes the acreage of wheat as com pared with that of last year 87.8 per cent, being a reduction of 12.2 points. The states in which the principal de crease has occurred are Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and California. The reduction of the area in the states of Kansas, Mis souri and Illinois was caused in the main by the long continued drought and ex tremely cold winter. A vast amount of the acreage sown has been plowed up and put to other crops. The decrease from the acreage of 1892 is, in the state of Illinois 24, in Missouri 16, and in Kansas 39 points. The percentage for the country of spring wheat area is 94. The percentages of the principal spring wheat states are : Minnesota, 90 ; . Nebraska, 100 ; South Dakota, 95 ; North Dakota, 96. The condition of winter wheat has im proved but slightly since the last report, being 76.5 against 75.3 for the month of May, the percentages of the principal Btates being, respectively, Ohio, 90; Michigan, 72; Indiana, 81; Illinois, 67; Missouri, 74 ; Kansas, 47. The condition of spring wheat presents an average for the entire country of 86.4, and for the principal spring wheat states as follows : Nebraska, 65; Wisconsin, 89; Minnesota, 88; Iowa, 95; South Dakota, 89 ; North Dakota, 92. The average percentage of acreage for both spring and winter wheat for the whole country is 89.8, and the condition for same, 78.8 Special Wool Kate Cancelled. Chicago, Juno 23. Chairman Midg ley, of the Western Freight association, has telegraphed to the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific rail roads, calling attention to the special wool tariff from north Pacific coast ter minals to the Atlantic seaboard at the rate of $1.05 per 100 pounds, and sug- eested that as eastern lines will not accept less than local rateseast of this city, there is no alternative left for the Western Freight association than can cellation of the tariff. SHE DEFIED THE POLICE. Trying to Convert the of Chicago. Unbeliever Chicago, June 23. A granddaughter of the famous Lady Watson, of London, was arraigned at the Desplaines station court yesterday for violating the ordi nance prohibiting the gathering of street crowds. She is Mrs. Margaret J. Rice, and all over Canada and in some cities of the United States she is more familiarly referred to as "the wife of the cowboy preacher." Mrs. Rice's offense consisted in obstructing the corner of Pearl and Madison streets by addressing a crowd which was attracted there by the fervor of her preaching. She is very young, not being yet 18 years old, and both she and her husband are among the most re markable people the police have had dealings with in a long time. Mrs. Rice is the daughter of the late Hop. F. W. Shields, of Toronto. The cowboy preacher has been arrested 70 or 80 times for obstructing the streets, and his wife has likewise been a prisoner in different cities for the same reason, and it has been their practice to pay no fine on such occasions. Kice says the present arrest is the result of spite. In court Mrs. Rice's dress was of fashionable cut, and a nobby sailor nat, with a stand-up collar and necktie, completed her attire. On her fingers she wore several diamond rings. "Not guilty," was her answer. A small fine was imposed, but the justice remitted the fine and Mrs. Rice was allowed to go. Her friends have secured Luther Laflin Mills to push a criminal case against the police for false arrest. Mrs. Rice preached from the same corner, and the police were dened. l'EAKy'S ARCTIC HOUSE. Will Be Bnilt to Withstand the Severe Weather. Camden, N. J., June 23. The house in which Lieutenant Peary and his party will make their winter quarters is now almost completed, and will be taken apart and stowed on the Fajcon after she leaves Philadelphia next Monday. It will be used on the east side of Ingle field gulf, Greenland. Particular atten tion has been given to protection from the cold. The dwelling affords room for the 12 men who are to comprise the the party. It will be 13 feet from the ground to the top of the glass dome, 35 feet long and 16 feet wide. To keep off Arctic blasts, Lieutenant Peary has de cided to construct a stone wall live teet high and two feet thick around the house. Corrugated iron plates and hot bed sashes will be placed alternately from the wall to the roof of the house all the way round, thus forming a corridor and compelling those desiring to leave or enter to pass through three doors. Tar paper between the floors, and an electric light plant and photographic ap paratus will be among the features of the equipment. ' Excitement at the Fair. Chicago, June 23. There is a model of her majesty's ship Victoria, which sank in the Mediterranean sea, in the transportation building. As soon as it became noised about that the Vic toria, with her crew, had gone down the world's fair visitors flocked around the model by thousands. The crowd Anally became so great it became necessary for the guards to clear the idea. Evans and Sou tag Taken to Fresno. Fresno, Cal., June 23. Evans and Sontag were removed to Fresno last night. At midnight they were taken in a closed carriage to Goshen, and then taken on the train. Sherff Kay and Deputy Sheriffs Boi-der and Witty were the officers in charge.

ABSOLUTES PURE A HUMAN VAMPIRE Public Sentiment Against Thomas Henderson Boyd of Seattle, WHO WAS MURDERED BY HIS WIFE Testimony Developes That He Tried to Force Her Into Compromising Situations for Blackmail Purposes. Seattle, June 23. Special. Great interest is exhibited here at present in the: trial of Mrs. Boyd, nee Ursula Junietta Unfug, owing to the fact that she has deliberately acknowledged the killing oi Thomas Henderson Boyd, her husband, who was editor of an Olympia newspaper. The court room of the criminal depart ment is crowded, and the judge has been obliged to order the court room doors closed after the court room is filled to avoid the jam which would follow in case such an order was not made. Startling revelations have been made by letters written from Thomas Henderson Boyd to Mrs. Boyd, in which he has laid deep schemes for blackmailing a great many prominent men of the state of Washing ton. Prominent among these parties are bankers and business men of Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and Spokane. The general plan was to have his wife, who was formally of unchaste character, but who has been, since her marriage, true to her marriage vows, go to these differ ent men and entice them into com promising positions with her, and then extorting money from them in order to save their reputation. This he urged with such persistency and she resisting it with the same earnestness, caused them both to become desperate, and one night, when Mr. Boyd endeavored to force his wife into one of these inhuman acts, she became desperate with anger, and shot him four times, killing him in stantly. The sympathy of the people was somewhat against her until this revelation, and it has been established to such a degree of certainty that an immediate acquittal is almost certain. The revelations which seem to be well proven establish the fact that Thomas Henderson Boyd was one of the most in human , immoral vampires whose life has ever been investigated. Seattle, June 23. Mrs. Boyd was cleared at 1 :30 this morning by the jury. Five hundred persons waited for the verdict. It is said the defendant has promised to become a missionary among fallen women. X.a Grippe. During the prevalence of the grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. King's New Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all of the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid cures not only in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured cases of asthma and hay fever of long standibg.
