of wind off Cape Fouhvoa'ther on the
Oregon coast, she began to leak. On
December 8tih, after she sprung a leak
we started for Oape Flattery. The
wind .hauled to the west and we had to
head the ship Ito southward to keep her
head to ithe eta. The sea was head
over 'her, and the mate was washed
against the lee way and fractured his
leg. One man hun; his back. The sec
ond mate fractured one bone In his arm
and was' otherwise injured. On De
cember 9th tha wind Wauled to the
southeast and we again ran for the
Sound. V.'e Wad three feat of water In
(he hold. On Deoemlber 10th the wind
again shifted to the west and we were
obliged to turn to the south to keep
her head to the sea. Oil bags were
thrown over tine weaiCher sides to keep
the ship from shipping water. The wa
ter gained and the crew gave out from
exposure' and HairdShi,. The ship got
so deep"ln 'Che water that we were al
most unable to got to the pumps. We

which It came. The bark Columbia,
lumber laden from Port Blakeley tor
San Francisco, which passed Oape Flat

PLANS FELL THROUGH.

Grtint's Pass, Or., Deo. 14. One bf
the coolest attempts of train cdbbery
ever attempted iln this stoite was com
plcilely frustrated last rrigrrt about
dark, five miles east of this city. As
the northbound overland pulled out of
Woodvtllle, ta smlall atla'tlon nine miles
from here, two mbBked tramps were
seen by tks traUnmen toaittempt to board
the traiin, but for some reiason failed to
mlake it and were left. The suspicious
odblons of the men were plainly no.
tlced by, ithe trainmen, and comment
was made about the affair. The train
rolled on, and when about four miles
furttlher on, a red light swung across
the track, and three men with it plain
ly indldated Jhe Intent of wouid-be rob
bers. Instead of sbopptng. Engineer
McCarthy pulled the throttle wide open
.ind left them behind. The men all had
m'astas on tend were armed, hut furthet
than itlhls no desortpitiion can be ob
tained of theim It Is supposed the In.
tent Ion w&s for the two men to board
the train at Woodvtllle, and when tihe
men ahaad : wers sighted, to cut the
train in two., taking the express car
ahead with the engine and loot it The
fall lure of the flrat men to board the
tiUIn is- no doubt all tlnat saved the
train from robbery. No Indications of
any attempt to wreck could be found.

JAPAN IS RELUCTANT.
She Would Rather Continue
Her War With China.

Associated Press.
Tokio, Nov. 17, via steamer Gaelic, via
San Francisco Dec. 14. It 1s with the
greatest reluctance that Japan listens
to suggestions for mediation from any
quarter. The aim of the Chinese gov
(rnment , has Always been to delude K
people into the belief that the emperor
rules all nations, and land thuut when one
particular vassal etlaite becomes . trou
blesome he hlas only to order its subju
gation by others, and thus '.restore
tranquility, without unnecessary dis
turbance of his own composure. The
Idea that the mighty middle kingdom
can humble itself so far as to Bue for
peace Is one Kiftat must never enter the
mind of the populace. If Japan were
to trtiait Indirectly fJhrouffh the Went-'
eirn powers, it would in course -of time
be given out that China had command
ed the trlbuituiry States of Europe to
bring the rebellious Japanese to terms
and had thus settled the business with
out Impairing her own dignity. This
conviction, once eaWahtlahed through
out the empire, 1!he court of ( Peking
would resume its (habitual insolence,
end aglailn block the wheels of progrest
In the East. That is what Japan firm
ly believes, and she Is, therefore, re
solved that the whole Chinese nation
shall be Jrtade aware of the govern
ment's abasement. On no other' can
security for her future be assured. ThJi
explains' one phase of Japan's refusal
to' receive Peace CommlsHloner Detring,
