STRUCK BY A BRITISH STtAMER. It is Thought That Fully 300 People Were Drowned-Quite a Number of Americana Aboard. Associated i'ress. London, Jan. 30. The North German Lfloyd steamer Elbe, Capt. von Goseet, from Bremen yesterday for New York via Southampton, has been sunk In collision with Kie British steamer Crathie, bound from Rotterdam to Aberdeen. At the time of the sending of this dispatch, the exact loss of life is unknown, but the report has It that It was enormous. Tine disaster oc curred 'before daylight this morning at a point some 30 miles from the Hook of Holland. The first dispatches stated there had been 350 peraons on the Elibe, and tfhat only 19 were saved, the res cued having been landed at Lowestoft by fishinff smacks. When the news of the disaster became generally known through the medium of the Exchange Teleorrapih Company, In the clubs and places of resort, the excitement was Intense. Cable dispatches were at once forwarded to all the principal European cities. As the time wore on It was apparent fhe first reports of the sink ing of the steamer had minimized the horror of the disaster. The E'lbe was proceeding along at her usual rate of speed, and keeping ordinary lookouts. It was dark, but there was no gale, Suddenly the forward lookout on the Elbe reported to the officer on deck that the lights of a steamer were close aboard over the port bow. Before the course of the Elbe could be changed so as to sheer off from the approaching steamer, he latter struck her Just about Che engine room, going through her plates as thougfa they were paste board, and and slicking her nose almost completely through the hull of the El be. For a time the Crathie held the Elbe on her nose, but then 'her engines were reversed and she backed out of the aperture. The water rushed into the Eibe In a torrent, and she began to Bettle. The officer in charge saw She was doomed, and gave hurried or ders to clear away the boats for launching. Three of the boats were cleared and lowered, but one of them, shortly after It got clear of the steam er, capsized, and it Is thought all the occupants were drowned. The first boat contained the third officer, chief engineer, purser, and about 20 others Thpse are the passengers who were picked up by fishing smacks and taken to Lowestoft. From one of the sur vivors It Is learned that as soon as the Crathie backed away, the InruShlng water flooded the aft part of the en glne room so quickly that nobody below deck In that part of the ship had an opportunity to escape. The shock of the collision was comparatively slight In view of the damage done, but this is explained by the fact that it was a direct cutting blow. Nearly all the passengers were asleep at the time, but many of them were awakened by the shock, as slight as it was. They could hear the ruh of the inrushln? water, and with cries of terror, sought to make their way to the upper dock. As tJhe passengers rushed from their staterooms Into the saloon, they were met by a torrent, against which it was impossible for them to make headway. They were caught up and swept aft toward the cockpit, where they were probably drowned before the ship foundered. Altogether, about 60 pas sengers reached the deck, where the wildest confusion existed. Many heart rending scenes were witnessed between parents and children in the few minutes preceding the sinking of the vessel. A cry was raised on the doomed essel for the women and children to go over on the other side of the steamer away from the port side, in wblh was the gaping hole caused by the colllFlon Kalf-falnting women and U-rror-stricken children hurried to the star board side, but they had scarcely I reached the boats whm the huge ves sel lifted her bows high In the air tnd slowly and silently sank, stH-o fore- most, beneath the waves, taking with her her human freight. Barely twenty minutes elapsed between the collision and the sinking of the steamer. A heavy sea was running, and the wind was bitterly cold. A small boat containing the survivors tossed about until U o'clock In the morning. Several vessels were sighted in the meantime, but they made no replies to the signals. The survivors were nearly frozen, and their sufferings were Intense. Event ually the fishing smack Wlldfiower saw the signals, and the survivors were taken aboard. Following Is a correct ed list of the survivors: Cabin passengers Carl Hoffman, Eugene Schlegel, John DeVera, Anna Boecker. Chief Engineer A. Neusell, Third Officer Stollbcrg, Purser Wester, Herr De Tart, Abremer Haven, pilot, Robert Greenhall, an English pilot, and ten of the crew. . The 'best Information now is that there were 400 perBonB on board the Elbe, 240 of whom were passengers, and 160 officers and crew. PASSENGER LIST.

The senate In executive session today ratified the Jap- J anese treaty with an amendment strlk- Ing out the time limit W LIGHT SHINES Dolph's Chances of Success Con sidered Brighter than Ever. AT WASHINGTON'S CAPITOL. The Senatorial Fight Growing: Warmer Each Day.-Antl-Lieut. Governor Sill Defeated. Assodalted Frea. Salem, Jan. SO. There no change In the number, and only a slight change in the Individuality of Senator Dolph's vote today. There was one knock out on each side. When the name of Cooper, of Benton, was reached, he announced that when foe left Dolph a few days ago, he thought he was meeting the de sires of his people, but had since dis covered that the business men of his county almost" unanimously favored Dolpih and his re-election, so he would again vote that way. Closely following this, Davis, of Umatilla, was reached, and caused some surprise by announc ing his vote for Lowell, thus abandon ing Dolpti. It looks more tonight like Dolph success than at any time for a week. Cooper's return to Dolph Is to be followed tomorrow, so it is said, hy Keyt, who, in response to a petition from his Polk county constituents, will completely demoralize the scattered op position, and before the close of Fri day's ballot, enough Republicans will, It is olalmei, have changed to elect Dolph by a good majority. Such Is the appearance of the senatorial sky now, and nothing Is expected to occur to change It. YOUNG'S BAY BRIDGE PASSED THE SENATE. Salem. Jam 30.

This even ing, at Indian River, Jennie A. Tomajo, Duchess de Castetluccia, and E. L. Dwyer, of Oregon, were married. The rliifhena is the daughter of a wealthy Brooklyn merchant, and her late hus band was a wealthy duke who owned larg? properties In Italy and the United States. Mr. Dwyer owns large mining Interests on the Pacific coast. The above among yesterday's dis patches will not be the surprise to Mr. Dwyer's friends here, as some might Imagine. "It is Just lke Dwyer," those who know him well will say, "for we have learned to always look for the unexpected from tills untiring and en ergetic young man," Mr. Dwyer appeared in Astoria about three years ago, in company with a gonial companion named Burke. They looked about the city, took account of various pieces of real estate, and one morning startled the whole coast by the purohase of Taiuy Point, from the late Captain Flavel, paying for It a pries that nearly everyone, except the captain, considered a fabulous sum of money. A good many people remain In the city who have not yet changed their minds on this point. Tanzy Point was only one of many large real estate transactions that were entered Into by these gentlemen, though Mr. Dwyer was always the prime mover. Once it looked as If Mr. Dwyer would be the first to build a railroad Into Astoria, for after spending a number of .T.onths in Europe, he brought back with him several French engineers and capitalists, of whom he expected to find assistance in constructing the line from Astoria to Gobln. The scheme fell through, for some reason, probably because the subsidy committee rejected the proposition presented by these gen tlemen, and Mr. Dwyer quickly disap peared from ttw seen.' ."-'" - . The news of his marriago to a titled widow will create considerable com ment among his friends; and friends he has here by the score who will wish him all the happiness this life of dou ble blessedness affords.
