SHALL WE
GIVE UP
WOOLt
GROWING
The growing of wool is one of the
important widespread interests of the
whole west and northwest coast, and
from special sources we are led to be
lieve that under the increased strength
of the Democracy in the house of rep
resentatives at Washington, there will
be extreme efforts, directly and indi
" rectly made, to render the present bill
unavailing as a defense to this great
interest, in the success of which not
only the northwest, but the whole
United States are profoundly lnter
. ested. We have no right to say th:s
' ' unless we present the prcof, which
from unexpected sources we are able
to do to any extent.
In treating this subject we have no
wish other than to try to make clear
what is for the best interests of all
this region. Whether it is to sustain
measures looking for free wool, or such
' measures as will defend our wool grow
ers against competition in the Ameri
can market, within the smokes of their
own chimneys, by voting for and sus
taining the wool growers of tbe Ar
gentine Republic, - Australia, India,
. .New Zealand, Cape cf Good Hope,
- Bethurst, Constantinople and numor
l qua other countries and ports, many of
them where the cost of production and
shipment into British markets is not
one-half what the American producer
expends before his profits begin.

sirous to nave control of our roartet boisterous to be taken as an example by
party, with, its experience in govern
ment for .more than a quarter of a
century past, is better versed in what
is the safer policy regarding financial
matters, is apparent from the unex
ampled prosperity enjoyed; and that
the Democracy, by its advocacy of
"equitable adjustment" regarding na
tional obligations and an unlimited
issue of paper currency is an unsafe
guardian of monetary matters, must
be concededed by every student of
American history. Whatever wild
notions may take possession of the
people because of the spirit of unrest
perva-Jing he masses, the legislature
of the country should follow an honest
policy which will bear the test of ex
perience. The nation should have in
circulation such coin as will pass for
its face value everywhere, and
not be dissounled by Wall street
or foreign countries. Fiat money hts
been tried on several occasions, and,
without a single exception, it has
always ended in bankruptcy and ruin.
This country cannot wall itself around
and cut off all commercial relations
with other governments; and, there
fore, while the world demands a gold
basis for all values, silver must be
sonsidered simply as a commodity for
exchange. '
AN "IMAGINARY COLLARS
The orasle of the Democracy has
spoken, and the convention recently
held in Portland was all right. In
speaking of the proceedings the Al
bany Democrat u&cs the following lan
guage, and it is unquestioned author
ity on all matters pertaining to the
party
, for the sale of it
In 1820 England exported no wool
from India, nor did they export from
any of , their South African colonies
until 1820. Yet these British pos
sessions each of them shipped to Eng
land 50,000,000 pounds, making 100,
. - 000,000 pounds of wool grown under
nativo labor, using British capita!,
shipping to British ports, or if shipped
to any other country, with the British
home port charges added.
The English people had only one
fifth as much wool, all told, in Aus
tralia in 1835 as The Dalles, Oregon,
shipped last year; yet British owners
shipped from Australia four years
,', since in 1888455,000,000 pounds
- of wool. Add this amount to 240,
000,000 pounds from the River Platte
region, and is it strange that England
- wool men and woolen manufacturers
want our American tariff to give them
. the free use of our markets for the
. ; products of their free labor?
" We now, just here, offer the treas-
the T. M. C. A. meetings, nevertheless
tbe boys all meant to do right and con
ducted themselves ia the way tbey did
because they believed tbey were resisting

necks. It is most certain that tbe collar
was an imaginary one, nevertheless they
exhibited their Democratic resentment
all tbe same.
It reads well in print to say that it
was an imaginary collar which was at
tempted to be riveted on the neck of
the members of the Portland conven
tlon, and this occasioned "Democratic
resentment;" but the facts of history
will not verify this statement. If one
were to take the meaning of the word
"democratic" he would conclude that
tbe party which bears the name was
tbe literal exponent of the wishes of
tha people; but this idea cannot
be substantiated. The rule of the
caucus, of bosses, classes and cliques
has been almost universal in conven
tions of the organization from its in
ception, and the voice of the people
has. been completely -ignored. For

factures of Wool," special report, is
sued two years sine?, and being re
newed with new points, says on page
46: "That Australia is as large in
area as the United States. That its
great plains, devoted to sheep raising,
. are in the hands of comparatively few,
who have perpetual leases of immense
tracts of government lands at low
rates. Some of these tracts contain as
much as 100,000 acres." Add to this
the character and low price of the la
bor, which this report asserts to be "at
best semi-barbarians or Peons,and the
immense plains of cheap lands and
torrid climate seems better adapted to
sheep raising than any other employ
ment.".
; .We shall be glad to offer our sheep
aaisers, if acceptable at any time, facts
as to the sale, prices and amount of
wool sold in any market of the world
for the last twenty-five years, and
what is being done in England, France
and Russia . to make useful, at lowest
labor and expense, the immense, un
measured lands of their governments.
It is for you to decide whether you,
as American farmers ard shepherds,
are ready, because the Democratic
party ask you,to lay yourselves out on
the same plain as the Peon or semi-
barbarian of South Africa, and tender
the best privileges of this immense in
dustry to foreigners instead of sus
taining yourselves with unquestioned
home economy upon your own lands.
vinced that the Democratic party is as
nearly machine-like in its methods as
any organization that has ever existed,
and that all conventions from tbe
ward primary to the great national as
semblage every four years for the nom
ination of candidates for president
and vice-president, have displayed the
skillful manipulation - of well drilled
politicians. The meeting in Portland
was no exception to this general rule,
and the "imaginary collar," which the
Democrat passes by as insignificant,
was undoubtedly the result of the rule
of the bosses, and from its language
we infer the chains -were' riveted solid
with no protest except a little quiet
"Democratic resentment."
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.
Some time aco the Times-Mocx-
taineeb published an article stating
that Democratic economy would at
tempt retrenchment and reform by
cutting down the River and Harbor
bill to the minimum, to which tbe
Portland Telegram replied that the
ODinion was prematura, and that to be
fair this paper should wait and see
" hat action congress takes in this
matter. It is too early for any im
portant measures to bo. introduced or
passed, and yet the dispatches contain
the intelligence that Wednesday Rep
resentative Hoi man, chairman of the
appropriations committee, one of the
acknowledged leaders of the Democ
racy in the house, "presented a reso-
lution declaring it to be the judgment
of the house that the granting of sub
sidies, or bounties by congress in pub
lic moneys, bonds, or by a pledge of
the public credit to promote special
private industries, or enterpriHes inde
nendent of constitutional power of
r
congress, is unjust, impolitio and in
manifest conflict with the spirit of re
publican institutions. The resolution
further resolves that in view of the
nmannt condition of the treasury, and
r
because efficient and honest govern
ment can only be assured by a frugal
expenditure of the public money,
while unnecessary and lavish expendi
tures !ead inevitably to venal and
corrupt methods, no money ought to
be appropriated by congress, except
such as is manifestly necessary to
carry on the several departments fru
gally, efficiently and honestly admin
istered." This would Jiave effuctually
killed any appropriations for rivers
and harbors, and public improvements
in Oregon woul4 have been at a stand
still when the paltry sums now on
hand were exhausted. To carry this
through without argument, Mr. Hol-
man demanded the previous question
and the speaker pro tern ruled that
discussion would not be in order. The
vote on the previous question did not
have the neceessary majority to carry,
and the attempt to enforce the "gag"
law failed.
This is quite early in the session for
Democrats to show their tactics; but
that they ate enemies of all appropri
ations for internal public improve
ments can no longer be denied, and
the people may expect that tbe large
Democratic majority in the house will
make a determined onslaught on the
items in the River and Harbor bill.
If by any manner of legislation they
can create a useless surplus id tbe
treasury, every Democratic orator in
the country will voice it in the loudest
terms, and claim it is a measure of
of Democratic reform.
We hope the Telegram will not take
us to task again regarding what it is
pleased to term our erroneous concep
tion of Democratic economy after the
editor reads the resolution of Mr.
Hoi man, and the manner he attempted
to procure its passage without debate.
pled at ai y methods which would in
sure success. Notwithstanding there
facts, in almost every national plat
form Democracy has arrayed itself in
attractive colors and proclaimed its
faith in the principle of "equality be
fore the law," while at the same time
it upheld slavery in the United States
and the infamous Fugitive Slave law,
The party has been renowned through
its history for expediencies and tbe
utter lack of principle and honest po
litical maxims.
The nomination of Mr. Blaine as
standard bearer of tbe Republican
party next November is almost cer
tain. During the time he has cccu
pied the position of secretary of . state,
affairs in that department have been
managed iu a very statesmanlike man
ner, and be can no longer be con&id
ered a dangerous man at the bead of
the nation. The complications with
Italy, which at one time threatened
war, have been adjusted to the satis
faction of American citizens, and on
other occasions Mr. Biaino has dis
played a wise statesmanship which has
maintained the integrity of the coun
try under very trying circumstance?
No man could be nominated who
would be more popular with the peo
ple, or more in harmony with the prin
ciples of the Republican party.
THE SILVER QUESTIOA.
' The present congress . will have
many difficult problems to solve, and
among them not the least intricate
will be the silver question. There are
people in the United States who be
lieve that an unlimited coinage of sil
ver would be beneficial to the country,
while others are : convinced that to
change the present gold basis of values
and use silver for any other purpose
than as a convenient medium : of ex
change would result disastrously to all
industries and to labor. There are
representative of these different ideas
in both parties, and to pass any bill
which will harmonize these jarring
factions will be nearly impossible. If
tbe - Democratic lower house pass a
bill favoring free silver, this will be
used against them in the campaign this
year, and those in the east, west, north
and south in favor of a gold basis will
be opposed to the party. On the con
trary, if Democrats procure the pas
sage of what may be termed a bill in
favor of honest money, it will antag
onize the silver men. What horn of
the dilemma they will take is difficult
to determine; but it may be presumed
New York Times: The address of
the Republicau state committee of
New York to the people of the state is
a strong and temperate document, and
one likely to have much influence upon
candid minds. The larger part of the
document is devoted to an explanation
in detail of the facts and history of
what is known as the Dutchess county
case. . The' exhibition is accurate,
clear, and powerful. There is no rea
sonable defense for the course of the
state board of canvassers in this mat
ter. It constitutes a crime against
law and against the elective franchise
as wicked and shameful as any re
corded in the history of the country,
and - justly clouds the reputation of
every person concerned in it. It is
deep disgrace to the Democratic party
of New York that for partisan reasons
its officials have violated right and
law. They have, by this act, invalid
ated the sincereity of all their protests
against electoral fraud, past and to
come.
The testimony of the surgeons who
attended to tbe wounded American
sailors in Valparaiso, during tbe re
cent riots show acts of brutality on
the part . of the 'Chilian authorities
which are hardly excusable. - Iu one
or more instances the doctors desired
to take the wounded men on
board the Baltimore, and this was re
fused until one of the men was con
sidered in a dying condition, and he
died soon after removal. As the
facts are becoming known the case is
more complicated, and it is very eyi-
dent that however the matter may be
settled, there will not be good feeling
on the part of American citizens
toward Chili.
Reciprocity is the outgrow th of tbe
Republican doctrine of protection, and

Objections are raised against the ap
pointment of Hon. W. Lair Hill to
the circuit judgahip because, in J 8 76.
when he was a member of the firm of
Hill, Durham & Thompson, the last-
named gentleman made an argument, as
a lawyer,before Gov. Grover in favor of
the Tilden elector, Mr. Cronin; and
also that he has been an attorney for
railroad corporations. We are sorry
to see such a sensible paper as the
Spokand Review use these as reasons
against his fitness for tbe position, and
cannot see bow it takes such a con
tracted view of the matter. There is
nothing unprofessional in either of
these. As regards moral turpitude
a man does not make nearly such a
compromise with his ' conscience as
when he defends a red-handed mur
derer, or blackens the reputation of a
witness to shield a client from the re
sult of his crime, and such practices are
of daily occurrence in the trial of cases
in every court in the country- Hon,
Matt. H. Carpenter, a life-long Re
publican, made the argument before
the electoral tribunal for the Demo
crats, and he did not jeopardize his
reputation in the profession or stand
ing in the party by so doing, but
Mr. Hill did 'not act as attorney for
the Deoiocratio elector in this state.
His la partner did, and he wrote the
most pungent articles in the Oreqonian
denouncing the attempt to steal the
Oregon elector. " In reference to being
an attorney for railroads, it is simply
professional, and as corporations hire
the best talent and pay the highest
prices, receiving a fee from such is com
plimentary to his ability, and the ac
ceptance a business-like proposition.
There is nothing derogatory to the
character of Mr. Hill in this matter.
He has done nothing but what any
lawyer would bare done under the cir
cumstances. If these are the only ob
jectiona against Mr. Hill, President
Harrison should not hesitate a mo
ment, for he should pass upon these
charges as a lawyer.
The Duke of Clarence, the eldest
son of the Prince of Wales, died yes

When the crown descends to the
young man, it it ever does, it will not
be weighty with responsibilities or
honors, and will have little significance
to the British people. There has been
a marked revolution in public senti
ment in the empire in the past twenty
years, and if advancement is in the
same ratio in the next quarter of a
century, it is doubtful if there will be
a ruling monarch in Great Britain.
. The death of the ruling khedive of
Egypt has caused some confusion in
the affairs of that country, and France
and Russia are objecting against the
English suzerainty. Of course Great
Britain is already in possession, and it
will take more than a simple protest
from the European powers ix her to
withdraw her army of occupaocy. It
is very likely that the control of
Egyptian affairs will continue in Brit
ish hands, and it is better for the
country that it should be so.
An effort should be made to impress
upon congress tbe importance of a
liberal appropriation for the Cascade

this.
TELEGEAPHI0.
The Chilian i(aeHtiou.
Washington, Jan. 13. Reports of the
testimony taken at Mare island have been
read with great interest by the senators
and cepreseutatives. They have nol been
able to get full information on the sub
ject. The teslimony taken by Judge Ad
vocate-General Remey has proven start
ling to them. The Chilian situation was
tbe subject of very serious discussion at
the capitol. Besides the testimony pub
lished fallowing the extent of the outrage,
information h:i; beeu received in an ir
regular way that there is no foundation
for the reports thut Chili has assumed a
more friendly tone. The prospects of a
speedy settlement are considered doubt
ful. It is known positively from tbe best
possible authority that this government
has received n intimation of peaceful
overtures from Chili. " The SCar savs:
President Harrison has been deeply
moved by tbe reports fromlSan Francisco.
He expects that as soon as the investiga
tion is concluded, a brief of the testi
mony and a report -will be sent to him
by wire. If the report is of the character
winch the testimony thus far taken in
dicates it win be, he will send it to
coDgress at once, together with the cor
respondence oetween this country and
uniu."
At the cabinet meeting yesterday the
president expressed his opinion that the
situation was more serious than it has
betn at hoy previous time. After look
ing tbe corresponceuce over very care
fully, he finds nothing in it that indicates
the -least regret on the part of Chili for
the outrage. He regards the so-called

purpose merely of allaying popular feel

Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 12. A tierce
fire is raging here. Hiram. Sibley's seed
house, a en or twelve story building
covering nearly a whole rquare, is a mass
of flames. The heat from tbe fire makes
it 'impossible for the firemen to be of
much use in saving the adjoining build

follow.
At 11:30, half an bou aftcrr the fire

Veath or Chief tarry, a Once Famous
feipokanc.
Spokane, Jan. 13.- Chief Garry, of the
Spokane Indiaos, died in a tepee in tbe
outskirts of this city last night. He was
a very old chief, and led his tribe at the
time the confederated tribes met Colonel
Stepto in 1858, and sent him reeling back
to the west. Later that year Colonel
Wright met tbe confederated tribes near
the talis ot Spokane and completely
routed them. Wright then killed 900 of
their horses and warue t them never
again to take up arms against (he whites.
Garry observed the admonition to the
last, refusing to join his forces with those
of Joseph at the time of the Nez Perce
war. The old chief's people have
dwindled terribly since than, and there
are now only a handful of them, and tbey
are left without a reservation or lands of

Bailors Ift;io Die.
Vallejo, Cal., Jan. 12. A genuine sensa
tion was developed" in the Baltimore investi
gation to day, a thing, entirely unexpected at
this late stage of the proceedings. The case
had dragged along slowly in the morning
session, a nnmber of sailors being recalled to
testify as to the soberness of Riggin, Turnbull
and Davidson, before and during the riot.
After recess, however, Surgeons Stitt and
Wite, of the Baltimore, took the stand.
After testifying to the wounds of the mem
bers of the Baltimore' crew, they declared
that the death of Tumbull was directly caused
by neglect in the hospital, where he was
carried by the police. The Chilians refused
to allow the Baltimore's surgeons to treat
their men, and declined to do it themselves
except in a very superficial way. For four
days the surgeons vainly begged Judge of
Crimes Foster to allow them to remove the
sailors to the Baltimore, but not till it became
probable that Turnbull would soon die, would
he grant them permission. The men were
taken to the ship, but it -was too late for Turn
bull. Blood poisoning had set in and he
died five days later. The surgeons were
positive that death resulted from neglect and
imperfect treatment in the hospital. The
Sisters of Charity, who had charge, seemed
to regret their inability to help the sailors, but
had to olwy the orders of their superiors.
From the summing up made by the surgeons,
it appears that as a result of the riot two
sailors of the Baltimore were killed, five were
seriously wounded, being disabled for from
nine to forty-four days, and twelve received
slight wounds, being disabled from two to
eight days.
The Democracy of Oregon has come
forward with a constitution, separated
into several provisions, which apply a
remedy for every known evil, and in
this the party acts according to its
"time-honored principles." Ever since
its formation it has been plethoric in
theory and barren in precept, and we
presume will continue so to the end of
time. This constitution upholds local
self-government and freedom of elec
tions,and the party has for years inaug
urated the "caucus rule" to change the
control of politics from 1. people to
corrupt rings and cliques; at -'-further,
for many, years at the polls made a
farce of the ballot syBtem by intimida
tion, tissue ballots and the shot gun
policy. - The same may be said of
every declaration in its long column of
principles. From .its inception it has
followed class legislation, and passed
laws for the benefit of one portion of
the country to the detriment of the
other. Ita leaders have been politi

TELEGBAPHI0 SEWS.
War Almattt Certain.
Washington, Jan. 14. war is im
minent between tbe United States and
Chili. Tbis is tbe belief to night of
every member of tbe president's cabinet,
excepting Secretary Blaine. Monday
next tbe president will send tbe Chilian
correspondence to congress. It will be
accompanied by a message briefly stating
tbe principal points in controversy, and
explaining the' motives and purposes by
which tbe president has been actuated in
conducting his part of tbe negotiations
If tbe president continues till Monday in
nis present mind, toe message will con
tain no recommendation to congress. It
11 believed at the executive mansion that
congress can be safely trusted to meet
with wisdom and patriotism its own
grave responsibilities, and that the corre
spondence and accompanying evidence
will be a sufficient guide for its action
ine correspondence win contain every
scrap 01 paper mat nas passed between
tbe two governments and their authonzed
agents. It ia given out by members of
toe cabinet that tbis correspondence will
show that the offense of the Chilians was
of such a serious character that tbis gov
ernment nas exercised extraordinarv
patience in consenting to permit so much
time to elapse without tbe prompt and
full reparation which was demanded m
tbe president's dispatch. Unless mean
while the Chilian government offers as
surances in unmistakable terms of its
willingness to mak full reparation, and
accompanies tnis assurance by expres
sioos of regret sufficient to satisfy
the bonor of the United States,
tne meaning 01 tnis is evidently war.
War can now be avoided only by
. . . . . -
tne iauure 01 congress to declare it, or by
action on tne part ot tne cniiian govern
ment, which shall make war unnecessarv.
As to tbe latter, the feeling in tbe cabi
net is that much may be expected. Tbe
president aud his advisers have settled
down to the convictio i that Cbili will
ot offer such terms of settlement as tbe
United States can accept. It is believed
hat. Chili, between this and Saturday
night, will do one of tbe two things
propose arbitration of the difficulty, or
submit an expression of regret, coldly
and loftily worded. Neither of these
expressions will avail so far as tbe presi
dent is concerned. .
A Jealou Husband.
Padocah, Ky., Jan. 13 A sensational
murder is reported from Fulton. Colonel
Dave Cold well has a handsome wife of
whom he is very jealous. A day or so
ogo Caldwell heard tbat one Harry Hiaey
bad been tryicg to flirt with bis wife
He swore tbat he would kill Hisey ou
sight, and loaded a revolver and started
out to find him. After hunting a'l over
town for him, he finally found bim at tbe
railroad depot. Instead of commencing
shooting instantly, be thought be would
give his man a chance to apologize. He
walked up to him and accused Hisey
of trying to flirt with bis wife, Hisev
looked at him for a minute or two with a
merry twinkle in his eye and a quizzical
smile which drove Caldwell almost crazy
with rage. "Are you going to apolo
gize?" be bissed between bis. clenches
teit'o. "I apologize, what for?" asked
Hisev. The words cost him his life.
Caldwell drew bis revolver and began to
ore. Hisey never dreamed tbat Caldwell
had been worked up to such a pitch of
rage, and had no time to draw his re
volver or to defend himself. His antago
nist emptied bis revolver into bim. Tbe
first sbot struck tbe victim in tbe region
of the heart, and he fell with a deep
groan. Three ot tbe shots took effect in
Hisey's beart. There was quite a crowd
around tbe depot, and about forty persons
witnessed tbe deed. It was done so aud -denly,

volt has broken out among the Indians
ot Bolivia. There have been threats of

Conspiracy Confirmed.
New York, Jan. 13. The Herald this
morning publishes an interview with
Minister Price, of Hayti, in which that
gentleman confirms the Herald story of
last week to the effect that tbe revolu
tionists at Jamaica are again active and
were fitting out a war vessel, called Le
Payt, in tbis country, for tbe purpose of
striking an effective blow against tbe
government of Hippolvte. Minister
Price has had secret agents at work, and
tbey have leained tbat the revolutionary
party bave bad tbeir rrency, for tbe
use ot their new govWoment in case
Hippolyte was overthrown, printed

will probably be seized by the United
State marshal when Minister Price be
lieves tbe conditions are ripe.
The Land ot Famine.
Londin, Jan. 12. Advices from St
Petersburg show that, though the czar may
declare there is no famine in his dominions,
already the sum of 65,000,000 rubles has been
appropriated by the imperial treasury for the
purpose of providing absolute necessaries of
life to be distributed among the suffering
poor. AH this money has been expended in
addition to the large sums spent through the
central famine committee and through private
individuals. Yet the wants ol the distressed
peasants are supplied to only a limited extent.
The imperial treasury has now assigned the
further sum cf 63,000,000 rubles, which is to
be devoted to relief work. There is hardly
any doubt some furiher and larger sums will
be necessary to tide the people over the long
winter season.
The Influenza in Europe.
, London, Jan. i2. There is no abatement
whatever in the epidemic of influenza which
is sweeping over England. Reports daily re
ceived from hundreds of places throughout
the country show that the disease continues to
spread with increasing violence. Advices
from Paris show the influenza continues to in
crease everywhere in France. The number
of deaths resulting from the disease is very
large. Dispatches from Berlin and Vienna
state that the disease shows no signs of abate
ment in Germany and Austria, though it is
now. as a rule, of a less violent type than
previously. In Belgium the influenza con
tinues to be widespread in its ravages.

The Mystery or two Years ago Cleared
Up.
roBT iownsend. Jan. 12 A cunous
incident of the sea giving up its dead has
just come to light. Saturday, while the
wrecking schooner Lucy Lowe was drag
ging Port Towosend barboi for ber lost
anchor, she raised aa old worm eaten
boat from tbe bottom, of the bay. When
tbe boat . was lifted to the surface it
turned ever, and tbe remains ot a human
skeleton with the clothes ou fell from it
into tbe water.. Investigation developed
tbe tact that tbe old boat thus raised was
a Whitehall boa, formerly owned by
rsartiett x uo., and me skeleton was the
remains of Thomas Drummond, who dis
appeared over two years ago. September
3, 1889. Bartlett & Co., sold a lot of
supplies to tbe English ship Nineveah, at
anchor in Port Townsend bay, ready to
sail for bidoey. 1 nomas Drommond
was Bartletfs boatman. He was an ex
pert with oars and sails and bad been
with tbe firm a long time. Drummond
was sent to the Nineveah with a boat load
of stores. The day was verv storm v. but
he reached tbe ship safely and started
back to shore, but was ntver seen again.
All efforts to find the boat or body failed,
until the Lucy Lowe brought them to tbe
surface. The lost boat was heavy with
pig iron ballast. The supposition ;s tbat
sbe was filled with water bv the waves
and went to the bottom aud Drummond
became entangled in the ro-ies, and was
unab!c to save himself.

number of Chinese passengers. Sbe bsdk
so rapidly it waa impossible to launch ber
boats. When sbe went down sbe carried
with ber 414 persons, every one of whom
was drowned. The steamer was officered
and manned by Europeans. Tbey stood
to tneir posts to tbe last, and did every
thing possible to save their vessel. All
of tbem went down with tbe steamer.

milts off tbe Lower California coast,
brings news ot the sch.toner Jessie D.,
engaged for two years past in trade from

chorage there thiity days 8go in ballast,

preseut trip was commanded by Albert
Hoi brook as captain, Harry Jenkins as
