VatcrsKuts have been observed In

about 300 feet across, and that It trav-
led wllh frightful rapfdity and passed
within a few hundred yards of the ves
sel. The bark Santiago, which aailed
from this port about a month ago, re
ports from Hllo that during a dead
calm In latitude 44 degrees 11 minutes

a waterspout bore down from the welt
almost straight for the vessel. When

The Russian steamer Kotik arrived
In San Francisco Thursday from Putro

mine skins and 4.014 sable Hkiim. Fur
dealers say that this winter those skins
will be equal to about their weight in
live-dollar bank notes. Then there are
14,418 seal skins, worth, at the present
market value about 110 each; 136 sea
otter skins, ranging In value from J200
lo 1700 each; 4 silver fox skins, worth
from 1500 each, and 1,306 blue fox skins,
worth from J2u to J40 each. There are
also 3.12 enws fox skins, valued nt from
$50 to 1250 each, and 3,132 red fox skins,
possessing a market value of about 12

flsAAW IAl '
Hunier and Pilot Lloyd, and it la dis
tinctly stated that tha fog algnal at
Point Wilson waa not being sounded
at the time the ateamer atruck the rock,
and that It did not begin blowing until
juat aa the veaael waa run upon the
beach. Thla la given aa the cauae of
the accident, and the other officer of
the vese who were on deck at the
time, eight In number, agree with this
statement of the captain and pilot.
This charge, however, la flatly con
tradicted by tha keeper of tha station,
who claims that he can furnish undla
putable evidence to the contrary. He
declares that he haa had offers from
half a dozen responsible persons that
they w ill make altldavlta that the signal
was being sounded ri-gularly at the
time of the accident. He accounts for
the statement of tha officers of the
steamer to the contrary by the fact
that certuln conditions of the atmos
phere sometimes carry the sound of the
whistle over a veaael off the point when
It ran be heard beyond It but not on
board.
It seems now that there Is to be two
separate Investlgutlona of the matter,
one conducted by Lieutenant John C.
Merrill, of tho lighthouse service, and
the other aa to the retoniithillty of
the pilot in regard lo the wreck. Lieu
tenant Merrill will confine his Investi
gations entirely to the question as to
whether the signal waa being regularly
sounded at the time the accident oc
curred, and It will end only with the
dismissal of the keeper In charge of the
station or his complete exoneration.
The queatlon or the liability of Pilot
Lloyd will of course cover a much wider
field, and the Investigation will touch
on many points which will not be cov
ered In that of the lighthouse Inspector,
It Is claimed by some that the pilot has
admitted that he waa not having the
lead cast aa la customary when a vessel
Is ao close In shore as waa the Umatilla
at the tlma she ran on the rocks.
Later reports from the scene of the
wrck are to the effect that the divers
have located aeveral other holea In the
stranded vessels keel, making ten In
number, which are being patched as
fast aa possible. The pumpa are being
placed In position and the vessel will
be floated now Inside of a few hours.
Tho statement of Captain Hunter
places the value of the vessel at 1250,000,

cargo, 1100.000; damage, 190,000; Insur

Declaration of Principles
The Itepubllcana of tha United States,
assembled by their representatives In
National Convention, appealing for tha
popular and historical Justification of
their claims to tha matchless achieve
ments of thirty years of Republican
rule, earnestly and confidently addrea
themselves to tha awakened Intelll
gence, experience and conscience of
their countrymen In tba following dec
laration of facta and principles:
For the first tlma since the Civil
War tha American people have wit
nessed tha calamitous consequences of
full and unrestrained Democratic con
trol of the Government. It haa been
a record of unparalled incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative
management it haa ruthltssly sacrific
ed IndlHjienslble revenue, entailed an
unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary
current expensea with borrowed money,
piled up the public debt by I2H2.000.000
In time of peace, forced an adverse bal
ance of trade, to a perpetual menace
hanging over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien syn
dicates and reversed all the meaaurea
and results of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of Ita policy
It haa precipitated panic, blighted In
dustry and trade with prolonged de
pression, closed factories, reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and crip
pled American production while stimu
lating foreign production for the Amer
ican market Every consideration of
public aafety and Individual Intereat
demands that the government ahall be
rescued from the hands of those who
have shown themaelvea Incapable of
conducting It without dlsaater at home
and dishonor abroad, and ahall he re
stored to the party which for thirty
years administered It with unequaled
success and prosperity.
A Protective Tarifl.
We renew and emphasize our allegi
ance to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of American Industrial Inde
pendence and the foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro
ducts and encourages home Industry;
it puts the burden of revenue on for
eign goods. It secures the American
market for tha American producer; It
upholds the American atandard of
wages for tha American working-man;
It puts tha factory by the aide of the
farm, and makes the American fanner
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuses general thrift and
founds the strength of all on the
strength of each. In Ita reasonable ap
plication It la Just, fair, and Impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
crimination and Individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff aa sectional. Injurious to the pub
lic credit and destructive to buaineas
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign imports which come
Into competition with American pro
ducts as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses of
the government, but will protect Amer
ican labor from degredation to the
wage level of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular ached ulea.
The queatlon of rates la a practical
queatlon, to be governed by the condi
tions of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
la the protection and development of
American labor and industry. The
country demands a right settlement
and then It wants rest.
Reciprocity With Other Nations.
We believe the repeal of the reel
proclty arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration waa a
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equalize our trade with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale of Amer
ican producta In the porta of other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
muat be re-established. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements of mu
tual Interest which gain open markets
for us in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
Industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.
Protection to Sugar Producers.
We condemn the present administra
tion for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers of this country. The
Republican party favors such protec
tion as will lead to the production on
American soli of all the sugar tha
American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than
1100.000,000 annually.
Wool and Woolens.
To all our products to those of the
mine and the field, as well aa to thoae
of the shop and the factory to hemp
to wool, the product of the great Indus
try of sheep husbandry, as well as to
the finished woolena of the mill ws
promise the most ample protection.
Merchant Marine.
We favor restoring the early Ameri
OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
can policy of discriminating duties for
the up-bullding of our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping in
the foreign carrying trade, so that
American ships tha product of Amer
ican labor, employed In American ship
yards, sailing under the Stars and
Strlpea, and manned, officered and
owned by Americans may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce.
The Financial Issue.
"The Republican party Is unreaerr.
edly for sound money. It caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments In 1878;
since then every dollar baa been aa
good as gold. We are unalterably op
posed to every measure calculated to de
base our currency or Impair the credit
of our country. We are, therefore, op
posed to the free coinage of silver, ex
cept by International agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
world, which we pledge ourselves to
promote, and until such agreement can
be obtained we believe the existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper currency now In
circulation must be maintained at a
parity with gold, and we favor all
measures designed to maintain Inviola
ble the obligationa of the United
States, snd all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard, the
standard of the moat enlightened na
tions of the earth."
Pensions for Veterans.
The veterans of tha Union armies de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable they should be given tha
preference in the matter of employ
ment, and they are entitled to the en
actment of such laws as best calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment of the
pledges mads to them In the dark daya
of the country's peril. Ws denounce
tha practice of the pension bureau so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
the present administration, of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls, aa deserving the
severest condemnation of the American
people.
Foreign Relations.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times Arm. rigorous and dignified, and
all our Interests In the western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian Islands ahould be con
trolled by the United Statea and no for
eign power ahould be permit etd to In
terfere with them. The Nicaragua
Canal ahould be built, owned and op
erated by the United States, and by
the purchase of the Danish Islands we
should secure a proper and much-needed
naval atatlon In the Wast Indies.
Armenian Massacres.
The massacres In Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
Indignation of the American people,
and we believe that the United Statea
should exercise all the Influence It can
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey, American resi
dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American property de
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
ican citlsena and American property
must be absolutely protected at all
hazards and at any cost
Monroe Doctrine.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine In
Ita full extent and reaffirm tbej right of
the Unulted Statea to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals of
any American state for friendly Inter
vention In case of European encroach
ment We have not Interfered, and
shall not interfere, with the existing
possessions of any European power in
this hemlspheie, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext, be extended.
We hopefully look forward to the
eventual withdrawal of the European
powers from this hemisphere, and the
ultimate union of all the English
speaking part of the continent by the
free consent of its Inhabitants.
Independence of Cuba.
From the hour of achieving their own
independence the people of the United
Statea have regarded with sympathy
the struggles of other American peoples
to free themselves from European dom
ination. We watch with deep and abid
ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu
ban patriots against cruelty and op
pression, and our best hopes go out for
the full success of their determined con
test for liberty.
The government of Spain, having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or Uvea of resi
dent American citizens or to comply
with ita treaty obllgatlones, we believe
that the government of the United
Statea should actively use Its Influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give Independence to the Island.
Enlargement of the Navy.
The peace and security of the repub
lic and the maintenance of Ita rightful
influence among the nations of the
earth demand a naval power commen
surate with its position and responsi
bility. We therefore favor the contin
ued enlargement of the nary and a
complete system of harbor and
coast defenses.
Immigration laws.
For the protection of the equality of
our American citizenship and of tha
wages of our worklngmen against tba
fatal competition of low-priced labor,
