Overwhelmed by Tide Rips
i in. Turnagain Arm.'
NINE MEN WERE ' 1 DROWNED
Iwo Searching; Parties Have Been Sent
Out. to Find the Missing- Men Im
poaslble to Swim Ashore. .
: Sunrise, Alaska, Sept. 28. A small
Sloop was wrecked in Turnagain arm
early in the morning of September 16,
and nine men lost their lives by the-ao-
cident. The men were: Kit Carson
Payne, of Portland, Or.; Frank L. Rob
inson, of Santa Cruz, Cal.; A. M.
Adams, of Bellevue, Pa. ; Louis E. Zim-
mer and J. M. Bonner, of Pittsburg,
Pa.; M. Walcott and his son Oliver, of
New York: Mr. Soott, of Scottsburg,
111., and Chris: Johnson, of Sunrise
City, owner of the sloop. ,
This three-ton sloop left Peter's
Creek landing, on- Kulkarm, the even
ing of the 15th, bound for Sunrise UUy,
near the head of Turnaeain arm. She
was overloaded so that her deck was
only six inches ; above the'; water, and
some of , the men objocted: to making
the trip with her 6n that aocount, but
they all started 'finally." She left witn
favoring wind and smooth water. At
about 12 o'olook the sloop passed Firs
island and steered toward the entrance
to Turnagain farm, some 20 miles away.
This was the last that was seen of the
Johnson sloop or her passengers.
Somewhere between the island arm the
tide rips overwhelmed and swamped
the overloaded boat. The dog belong
ing to the sloop swam to the south
shore and made its way to the mining
camps on Bird creeks and was brought
from , there to Sunrise. : The steamer
Pery brought in the small skiff belong
ing to the sloop, which 'was found floati
ing'bottom "up near Tyonic. "' Broken
pieces of the sloops's cabin and several
small articles were -found on the north
shore by Mr. Duncan, 'of this place.
Two searching parties have been ou(
from this town, where the -men "have
many friends and acquaintances, but
none of the bodies have been found. II
js probable ; that all the men but John
son were asleep in the hold when the
sloop was swamped, and were carried
down' with it. , It would have been im
possible for a man to swird ashore from
the middle of the rough channel whertl
the disaster occurred. Several of these
taen had just leturned from the Copper
and Tanana rivers, by way of the new
trail just opened by Captain Glenn's
party. They were feeling jubilant over
the discoveries they had made, - an1
were going back with supplies this
winter. . J :''' ' "I a .' f'
:, The entrance to ; Turnagain arm,' at
the northeastern extremity , of Cook
inlet, is known as' the most perilous
water in this part of the world. ' The
arm is really a rocky cayon, and three
to five miles wide. With precipitous
mountains rising abruptly on eaoh
side, it extends nearly through the
Coast range of mountains. In fact the
large glacier at the eastern end extends
over the narrow ridge " of mountains
and joins . that from Portage bay on
Prinoe William sound.,! Through this
deep and rocky gorge the wind and
tide rush with terrible foroe. The tides
rise and fall some 50 feet arid' run like
a torrent over miles of mud flats and
reefs of ',ragged rook. " A powerful
steamer can make no headway against
them; and a sailing vessel entering the
arm is entirely at their mercy, unless
the wirld happens to be very favorable.
Here, when the wind is in - certain di
rections, the waters pile up and a tidal
wave sweeps in like a rushing wall of
water.
' Adams, Bonneri Pa?ne, Zimmer and
Scott left for the Copper river country
;last February, going over the Valdes
glacier and thence 90 miles up Copper
river. From there they followed the
Nalcheena': waters Of the Matamuska,
which flows into Knik arm. There
they built a double-end scow, 84 feet
long and 6 feet wide, and started for
civilization. -They made the 175 miles
to Knik in just 12 hours, so swift is the
stream, and called ' at Stone's camp,
known as Knik City. They arrived
there the. latter part of August, and
remained until they started on the voy
age that ended in their death, and the
death of the four others who had joined
them there. Bobinson was a well
known baseball player in California.
TRe Walcotts had intended starting a
store at Sunrise City, f .-J . - .';
'.' Several parties have made quartz and
placer locations in the mountains -west
of the Matamuska river, and will send
in their supplies thiB winter. Many
miners from this district, will try to
sled their outfits over the new trail as
far as , Copper, river ..this winter, and
many others ' will pack in' their sup
plies with horses next spring. :
Anarchists 'Follow Emperor William.
, ; Haifa, Palestine, Oct. 26. The police
made an important arrest of a well
known anarchist here yesterday.' Ex
troardinary precautions are being taken
te insure the safety of -Emperor Wil
liam' and Empress Augusta Victoria.
During the time that they are here
veiled women will not be allowed in
the streets, as the police fear that an
archists might assume these disguises.
SOUTHERN RACE WAR.
Eleven -Jfecroes and One - White Man
. ' Dead at Forest.
New Orleans, La., Oct. 26. The
Picayune s Forest, Miss., special says:
Eleven dead negroes and one dead
white man, and one negro and three
white men seriously wounded, is the
result at this writing of the bloody war
being waged between the white and
black laces in the Harpersville neigh
borhood, of this (Soott) county. Sev
eral of the rioters have been captured
and lodged in jail at Forest today, but
the others escaped into the- swamp.
Large crowd of white men are in close
pursuit, however, and more names are
hourly expected to be added to the
death list.
It is impossible to obtain a full list
of the killed, for the reason that some
of the negroes were shot down in the
woods and were hurriedly buried by
the whites where they fell. .
Governor McLaurin went to Harpers
ville last night and appealed to the
whites not to molest the prisoners in
the custody . of the sheriff. He finally
persuaded the crowd to permit the pher
iff to take the prisoners to jail. - Sheriff
Stevenson had placed additional guards
at the Forest jail to prevent the lynoh
ing of the rioters now in custody, j, The
negroes who are under arrest have made
full confession. '
- WHAT THE WAR COST.
Uncle Sam's Expenses- Something Over
a Million Dollar Per Day.
Chicago, 'Oct.-' 26. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: 1 Cnole
Sam's expenses for the Spanish war
sink into insignificance when compared
with the cost of the oonflict between
the states. . Thus far the war with
Spain has cost $167,529,941, or a frac
tion over $1,000,000 per day sirice the
beginning of hostilities April 21
against the enormous, sum of. $3,065,
413,156 during the civil war, or an
average of $1,685,156 per day. '
The largest amount paid out. in a
single day during the war with. Spain
was $4,110,000, July 28, or nearly
enough to construct and equip a first
class battle-ship. The next highest
days were September 19, when $3,775,
000 was spent, and July 19, with a to
tal of $3,770,000, but -the daily ex.
penses frequently run above the $3,
000.000' mark. The ' budget for ; the
four months of the present fiscal yeai
waa $125,112, 540, while the exepndi
tures for the whole fiscal year of 1897,
were only $83,611,713," and for this
month the average of $1,000,000. r.er
day. was maintained. ;-, ,
; In April the expenses for the amy
and navy were considerably above nor
mal figures, when they reached $19,
000,000. May showed a perceptible
increase, when $26,000,000 was spent.
June was a further increase, $39,000,
000 passing over the tieasury counter,
and July showed the highest expend
iture of $43,000,000. The next month
witnessed a deorease, only $31,000,000
being spent, but September reaohed
nearly $33,000,000, and for the 23
days of October the expenses were
about $19,000,000, or nearly $1,000,
000 per day. The total disbursements
of the government for the four months
of the present fiscal year, which in
cluded the civil list,' pension 'payments
and interest on the public debt, was
$223,587 114. The. total receipts were
only $153,754,445, showing a deficit of
$69,0000.000 for the fiscal year.' , The
$3,000,000 spent on the operations of
the army and navy during the war of
the rebellion includes the period of the
first three months of 1861, when active
preparations for hostilities were being
made, and the last nine months of
1865, when the expenses of the govern
ment were unususally heavy. : .
. : Hawaiians Want a Cable.
Washington, Oct. 26. Of the sev
eral commissions adjusting the rela
tions of the United States towards its
newly acquired . possessions, the Hawa
iians will be the first ready with a bill
for the consideration of congress.
This, of course, will make provisions
for the government of the island, but,
aside from this matier, there will be
another of the utmost importance. It
will provide for the construction of a
cable between the Hawaiian islands
and the United States. Owing to the
growing trade with this hew territory
and the necessity of having quick
means of communication with its offi
cials there, congress will probably sub
sidize a cable. .
: - Four New Record?. :- v
Norwood, Mass., Oct. 26. Four new
American bicycle road records were

Frank Ourish, of Dorchester, Mass.
The first was the paced mile, flying

the previous record being , 2:16 4-5, by
O. A. Foster of Terre Haute, Ind.
With the aid of F. Wold, Ourish broke

DIRECTED AGAINST AMERICANS
Insurgent - Officers Preaching- a Holy
- Wir -Against the New-Comers
Garcia Also Denounced. .
-' ' v:
., ,ti;. ,, . '.,.: v
Havana, via Key West, Fla., Oct. 28.
Pazy Libertad, one ,of the daily
papers of Cienfuegos, published with
the sanction of the government, prints
a manifesto with over 300 signatrties, a
great many of which are Spaniards,
openly proclaiming Cuban independ
ence.
About 50 Cuban patriotic clubs have
been organized in Havana under the
management,, in a large number of
cases, of physicians, lawyers and pro
fessional men. Many mem bers of some
of the clubs attended the first meeting
wearing the Cuban and Amerioan flags
erossed. The presiding offloers of sev
eral of the clubs, noticing the insignia
in the buttonholes of the coats of the
members, ordered that in future only
the Cuban flag should be worn. In
many instances this order was complied
with. ' -The
Cuban general, Bego, has ar
rived at Havana from Puerto Principe,
and is preaching in the Havana cafea
and the insurgents' camps near the
city a holy war against the Americans,
He has interviewed many of the leaders
of the Cubans and has urged the carry
ing on of war against Americans if in
dependence is not at once granted to
Cuba.
The Cuban oolonel, Torriet, has also
arrived from Havana at the east, and is
carrying on a strong campaign against
the ' Americans and Calixto Garcia,
whom he professes to look upon as a
traitor to the Cubans who has been
bribed by American gold. ' The col
onel, in an interview with one of the
leading newspapers in Havana, made all
sorts of charges against Garcia and the
Americans, but the censor would not
allow an account of the interview to be
published, fearing that ' it might give
rise to disturbances. . , - "'
A secret circular has been sent to the
presidents of all the Cuban patriotic
committees, denouncing a large num
ber Of Cubans, who are looked upon as
traitors to the oause of Cuban inde
pendence, and are charged with being
attached to the Americans.. The circu
lar ' recommends .' a vigorous contest
against not only Spanish residents, but
against the Americans as well, "who
are endeavoring to steal the Cubans
victory." ,.
; The Spanish colonel, Cervera, mill
tary governor of Mariano pays daily
visits to the insurgent camps in his dis
trict, advising the Cubans not to sur
render their arms and to make resjs-
tenoe until the independence of the
island is declared. Colonel Cervera is
an intimate friend of General Parrado,
president of the evacuation commission.
; During the last two weeks, several
hundred Remington carbines and large
quantities of ammunition have been
sent from Havana, it is presumed, by
some of the Spanish chiefs. The Span
ish residents, manufacturers, merchants
and planters are somewhat alarmed
and criticise in very Eerere terms the
behavior of some of the Spanish chiefs,
who, it is alleged, are acting suspic
iously in many places, and are working
in favor of Cuban independence, advis
ing the Cubans to persist in their i evo
lutionary attitude.' For this reason,
many of the Spanish residents here
have written long letters to friends in
Madrid in order that the4iome govern
ment may be acquainted . with what is
happening in the island, and have re
quested that on behalf of Spain's inter
ests and the part of the Spanish resi
dents, the evacuation may be completed
as soon as possible, so as to avoid pro
longing the existing dangerous condi
tion of affairs.
. Owing to the fact that Spanish offi
cers are selling commissary stores at
any price obtainable, the army supplies
are now ta drug on the market in the
interior, making legitimate trade im
possible. : -
It is asserted as the Spanish rule in
Cuba draws to a close,- corruption and
robbery daily become more open and
wholesale. The committee on transpor
tation, charged with furnishing pas
sage tickets to Spanish officers return
ing to Spain, are charging an arbitrary
rate of $4 each for a berth. If the' vic
tim refuses to give up, he is made to
wait several steamers, the commission
claiming there is no room.,. Generally
the officer is glad to pay the tax in or
der to get away. - This abuse is openly
spoken of, but the present, situation
is a free-for-all, grab-as-grab-can
game, and every one appears eaer to
make money while the Spanish sun
shines. -, . ... . .
The official report of the burials in
the city of Havana since the first; of
the present year Bhows that there have
been 16,821 interments. The average
death Tate keeps on steadily at 47 pel
day. ; - ".:..?.'...
Great discontent pievails among the
Spanish trooops because of . nonpay
ments, in some cases for six months,
in others for seven months, and in still
others for eight months.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc..
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber ol
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
The wheat trader's success last week
depended upon the direction in which
he happened to be faced. If he looked
toward the west he made no money out
of the market. ' The influence of the
largest primary receipts on record kept
him off the buying side. He was lucky
if he resisted the temptation to put out
a short line. . The operator who kept
his eye on the seaboard was the lucky
-one. f- He saw there the largest export
engagements s ever known, about a mil
lion wheat a day. If he did not have
' some money to the; good at the olose
Saturday night it was because he has
no aptitude for the opportunities.
i Chicago was incliend to be skeptical
of the pxp'ort figures. It was not doing
much itself, .but the. man who was
closest to. the shipping position knew
tharDuluth was, quality and freights
oonsidejed, cheaper than this market,
and that the seaboard also had grain of
its own bought , on cheap freights that
could be sold ahead" of Chicago offer
ings. The best, export authorities
agreed as to enormous sales, abroad.
Consequently there is no room for de
nial or. for pretense that it is largely a
matter of exaggeration. Lohrke, whose
word is to be accepted in this matter,
in an interview , yesterday, said the
business accomplished during the past
fortnight was on a scale probably never
exceeded. This authority, when asked
as to the probable permanency of the
foreign demand, in an interesting ex
planation showed how the foreigners
themselves Were so uncertain of the sit
uation they were not venturing to specu
late any on the bull side.
The wheat prioe this year is to be a
matter of mood the mood of the farm
er the work' over. If it were to be de
cided by the facts as to supplies, the
bull, to have any success, would need
to make his purchases on the very
weak days. Every authority is agreed
that the world's harvest last season was
the fullest ever known, and with that
alone in mind the speculator might
make comparisons with the low prioes
of the other years of great crops.
