St. Paul a Total Wreck Between San Francisco and Portland, .Eureka, Cal., Oct. 6. The steamer St. Taul, of the San Francisco k Port land Steamship company, under com mand of Captain Clem Randall, bound from San Francisco to Portland, went ashore early yesterday morning at Point Gorda, a short distance south of the entrance to this harbor, during a dense fog. She had 75 passengers on board, all of whom were safely trans ferred to other steamers. The vessel, which was laden with a cargo of gene ral merchandise, will probably be a total loss. The coast off Point Gorda is feared by all coast seamen. It is rocky and treacherous. The old Humboldt was wrecked there about ten years ago, and was a complete loss. The Oriiaba went ashore on the rocks there five yean ago, and the Homer was another ship to be caught on the jagged reefs at that place. When the St. Paul struck she was 15 miles out of her course. The third officer was at the bridge at the time. The steamer struck at 3 o'clock in the morning, during a dense fog. She now lies with her stern to the beach, 150 yards from the shore, and has been abandoned by captain and crew. It is thought that the vessel will be a total loss. The St. Paul lies in a nest of rocks, bow to the northwest, and with a slight list to seaward, l) miles below Point Gorda. Apparently, she is in good condition, the sea having smoothed down considerably since she struck. It is smooth between the wreck and the shore, but rough on the outside. ISSUE BONDS TO BUILD CANAL. President's Scheme to Stop Deficit in Treasury. Washington, Oct. 8. President Roosevelt has decided upon the main recommendations in his forthcoming message to congress. One will be for creating a separate fund for the con struction of the Panama canal, another will call for radical reorganization of the diplomatic and consular service. It is intended to relieve the United States treasury by placing upon poster- tiy its proper portion of the burden of building the great Isthmian waterway. It is fe't that money for canal con struction should come from long-time bonds and not be drawn from the treas ury direct. If congress approves, it will create a separate fund, out of which can be drawn the $50,000,000 already ap propriated and the United States reim bursed to that amount. This will re move the annoyance of a yearly deficit. TURN OVER CANAL TO ROOT Taft Discovers He Has Too Many Irons in the Fire. Washington, Oct. 6. Secretary Taft will at the first opportunity take up with the president the proposition to transfer the control ot the Panama canal from the War department to the State department. It was bis inten tion to discuss the matter with the president at his conference today, but the lack of time prevented his doing so. The question was brought up some time ago, but for various reasons it was postponed to a more favorable occasion. Since the Spanish-American war, in volving the acquisition of the Philip pines, the work of the War depart ment has greatly increased and the sug gestion that a transfer to the State de partment of the canal work, with the many perplexing questions which are bound to come up, lias been under con sideration. Mr. Taft, it is known, is willing that a transfer should be made, basing that disposition on expediency. Rumors of a Big Haul. Seattle, Wash., Oct.. The sheriff's office has been informed that Express Messenger Charles Anderson, in the Great Northern car which was dyna mited by the bandits, stated to passen gers on the train that the through safe, which was blown up, contained $47, 500, and that the robbers secured it all. The report that there was that much money is denied by the express company officials. At the same time the officials give the story credence in view of the fact that the largest ship ments are on the overland train. Can Save Million on Printing. Washington, Oct. 6. President Roosevelt had a talk today with Repre sentative Charles B. Landia, of Indi ana, on the work of the committee which is to investigate the conditions in the government printing office. Members of the committee are said to believe it easily possible to reduce the expenses of the government printing office at least $1,000,000 a year. BILL BY TOWNSEND One ct First Sabjccts la Message by President Roosevelt. WEAK CASE OF THE RAILROADS Measure Patted by Last House Wat Intended to Correct Frror In Former Law. Washington, Oct. 7. Representative Townsend, of Michigan, joint author of the Esch-Townaand railroad rate bill that passed the house of representative last winter, and who will reintroduce substantially the same bill and lead the fight for 1U passage at the coming ses sion, after a conference with the presi dent today said : "One of the first subjects, If not the first, which the president will discuss in hit annual message will be railroad freight rates." Mr. Townsend says he will not make any material change in his bill, and it is hit understanding that the president approve! its general features and would be satisfied if it should become taw. "We had but one idea in framing that bill," said Mr. Townsend, "and that was to correct an omission In tke original law for regulation of railroads. According to the law, the commission could not make an order which would remedy an evil condition' or any unjust condition that was found to exist. It actually exercised that power for a number ot years, but it was finally determined that it did not have the power. It was to give the commission that power that the house of represent atives passed its bill last winter. The rest of the bill merely furnished ma chinery for expediting hearings and for carrying out the essential provisions of the bill, which was to fix a reasonable rate when a rate was found to be un reasonable. No statement that I have seen in opposition to this legislation since congress adjourned has modified my view aa to the wisdom of adopting this course. DEAD IN HUNDREDS. Typhoon in Philippines Kills by Whole sale and Islands Laid Waste. Manila, Oct 7. Government reports show that the result of the recent storm is very serious. At least 200 natives and 25 Americans and foreigners were killed. It is impossible to identify man of the latter. The government's police work the past year in the provinces of Cavite, Batangaa and the island of Samar, which made possible the largest acreage planted in the history of the islands, has been undone, and it is estimated that the storm has retarded develop ment one year in the hemp provinces. In Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate and Sa mar fields have been devastated, ware bouses destroyed and stocks damaged. Roads are impassable and the transpor tation facilities are crippled. The loss is incalculable. In Albay and Sorso gon 80 per cent of the buildings, dwell ings, schools and warehouses have been destroyed. The storm, in connection with the severe drouth which obtained early in the year, will, it is estimated, decrease the receipts of the islands 40 per cent. The army is a heavy loser at southern posts. Taft Will Keep Canal Work. Washington, Oct. 7. The members of the Isthmian Canal commission will remain under Secretary Taft, who will go to Panama in November to investi gate and thoroughly inform himself of the conditions in the canal zone. The decision to keep the control of the canal in the War department instead of transferring it to the State department was reached yesterday in a discussion that followed the cabinet meeting. Mr. Taft will proceed to Panama and re turn to Washington about the time con gress convenes. Examining Route of Canal. Colon, Oct. 7. The members of the advisory board of consulting engineers of the Panama canal, who arrived here yesterday from New York, today went by special train to Mindi, Gatun and Bohio, where examinations will be made of the various sites proposed as suitable for dams. The party will em bark on steam launches to study the Chagres and its deviations at the points mentioned, returning this evening down the canal from Gatun to Colon in launches. Agreed About Philippines. London, Oct. correspondence of the Daily Telegraph quotes the semi official Kokumin Shimbun to the effect that Secretary Taft's visit to Tokio has resulted in an important understanding as the outcome of Japan's explicit dis avowal of any designs on the Philippines.
