London Cable States That Financial Houses Want American Loan Southern Pacific Bobbed. Associated Press. Lowestoft, England, Jan. 31. iAs ar as can he ascertained 374 passengers and crew of the Elbe are misBlng. The, survivors number twenty-two. The bit terly cold weather prevailing and tilt lack of news from along the coast show there Is little hope of any other survivors of the Elbe reaching land. A llfciboat has been washed ashore near Yarmouth. It Is believed to be the boat from which the fishing smack Wlldflower rescued the passengers who escaped from the steamer after the collision yesterday morning. The sur vivors claim the unknown ship which rammed and sunk the Kibe should have stood toy, and If she had done so, a great many lives would have been saved. This, of course, Is a matter which cannot be decided until all the facts are brought to llgftt by the court of Inquiry. It Is not yet definitely established that the Crathlrt was the offending steamer. There are- people believe the second steamer may have foundered. The survivors say after the collision the unknown steamer passed under the .stern' of the Elbe and pro ceeded on her course without paying any heed to the cries of the people on board the sinking steamer. Carl Hoffman, one of the cabin pas sengers of the Elbe, who was rescued from a lifeboat of that vessel, Bays that had the vessel which collided with the steamer Elbe stood by the latter team er, the majority of the passengers and crew might have been saved, for, rne says, the Elbe remained perfectly steady for many minutes after the col lision 'befora a volume of water poured Into her and caused 'her to lurch. Sobs shook the frame of the man as he made the statement. He Is a German American about 33 years old, and was on his way to Grand Island, Nebraska, wnere his wife's parents live. Continu ing, Hoffman said: "There wa9 no confuRlon among tho passengers. They ibehaved well and tho only confusion was with the crew, who tried to save themselves. It seems strange to see that of the number saved, there are fifteen of the crew. But many more ml?ht have been saved. Oh God! My wife, my boy; both are dead and I cannot go to their graves." IT WAS THE CRATHIE. Rotterdam, Jan. 31. Interviews had here this afternoon with Captain Gor don, of tho steamer Crathle, and with the second officer of that vessel, leave no doubt that It was that steamship which ran Into and sunk the Elbe. After the collision the officers say the Crathle returned to the spot but were unable to see any signs of the vessel. KNOWN IN OAKLAND. Oakland, Jan. 31. Th';re Is no doubt that "J. M. nruns'in nnd Mr, rirun son," whose names appear on the roll of the Elbe's stccrapo passengers, nre a you :t? .T.i.i: l.i .itiiin nnd wife, who started for Berlin on December 19th last to present their claims to a $2Cu,0D0 share In the estate of Baron Von Bar nekow. The fact that they were trav eling home In the steerage would In dicate they were unsuccessful In their rase. THEY WANT THE LOAN. New York, Jan. 31. The Evening Post's London cablegram says: The very highest financial houses here are ready to take up the American loan, which would likely be well received here. But there Is one proviso It must be gold. AFTER TWO DAYS' COMBAT. Chee Foo, Jan. 31. Wei Hal Wei was captured Wednesday, after two days of skirmishing.

At the Astoria Iron Works are several large cases, stoutly nnilffl, and marked "Run Yuen Lung, Hong Kong, China." There Is nothing particularly remark able about their appearance, but the address painted thereon with the or dinary marking bruuh, led the reporter to inquire of Manager Fox, what the big boxes contained. "They are to be shipped on the Sig nal tomorrow," said Mr. Fox, "and make up the third consignment of ma chinery that has been shipped by our firm to the Orient. The cases contain a complete fruit canning outfit, and are being Shipped toy the Sun Yuen Lung Co., of this city." About twenty-flve men are now em ployed at tho Iron works, and while business Is not what it was a few years ago. Manager Fox saya that he has great hopes for the future. He thinks It altogether probafole that they will soon start to turn out the Jensen can ning machinery, and considers the de cision of tho court of appeals on the can making machines a great victory for Mr. Jensen. After leaving the iron works the re porter called at the store of the Sun Yuen Ltmg Company on 9th street, and !n conversation with Charlie Sing, a member of the firm, and Go Fun, the business manager, it was ascertained that a branch house of the Sun Yuen Company Is maintained in Hong Kon, and that they Intend going into the fruit and oyster canning business In thit country quite extensively. Later they will order more machinery from the Iron works for fish canning, there boinjr a variety of fish In the waters along the China coast that are much rellthed by both Europeans and na tives. The Sun Yuen Lung Co. are about the heaviest Importers of Chinese goods In the city. They also furnish la borers for various canneries on the coast, and In a year's time their trans actions are enormous. TONIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT. Program to Be Given by the Young La dles of the A. F.

Gorman Makes a Strong Speech Before the Senate. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. He Says That Facts are Kept Back That Would Show Startling Deficiencies. Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 31. The critical stage of the financial discussion was un expectedly precipitated In the senate at a late hour today. Intermittent ref erences had been made to the subject throughout the day, but without defi nite form or purpose, and the senate Anally lapsed into a discussion of the District of Columbia appropriation bi!! But tlie financial question arose inci dentally and Anally at 5 o'clock Gorman launched a speecn which proved to be one of the most effective he has deliv ered at the present session of congress. He pointed out the gravity of the treas ury situation, intimating that facts were 'being held, and that an investiga tion would show startling deflclences. He defended the senate against the Charges of lmpotency and deolared he had perfect faith that t'hls great body would do its full duty before congress adjourned. He said the financial reme dy would, if necessary, be added as a rider to an appropriation bill. Spurred on toy the energy Gorman had suddenly injected into the question, the senate at once proceeded to con sider and pass three important reso lutions calling upon Secretary Carlisle for information concerning every de tail bearing on the revenues, reserves, deficiencies, etc. A warm party debate occurred during the day on the question of party ex travagance, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Piatt, and other Republican senators' assert ing that the, total appropriation for this congress would reach (1,001,000,000, a million in excess of the billion appro priated iby the 51st congress.
