MOTH Coaster Walla Walla Goes Down Off Cape Mendocino. STRICK BY AN UNKNOWN SAILING VESSEL Remained Afloat Only 35 Minutes After the Collision—Passengers and Crew Took to the Boats—Many Were Lost. San Francisco, Jan. 4.—A collision at sea Thursday morning between the steamship Walla Walla and an un known sailing vessel resulted in the sinking of the steamship and the probable loss of at least twenty lives. The Walla Walla, owned by the Pa- . ciflc Coast Steamship Company, sailed . from San Francisco January 1 for | Puget Sound ports. She carried thir ty-six first-class passengers, twenty eight second-class and a crew of eighty men. When off Cape Mendo cino, on the California coast, at 4:10 Thursday morning, an iron bark, be lieved to be French, loomed up in the haze and crashed into the Walla Walla’s bow. Then the sailing vessel slid off into the darkness and was seen no more. All the passengers and crew of the Walla Walla, except the few on watch, were asleep, but wpre roused by the crash. The steer age quarters were in the bow, and it is believed that some of the steerage passengers and crew were crushed to death. A big hole was made in the steam er’s bow, and she sank in thirty-five minutes. The oilicers and crew main tained strict discipline, and boats and life rafts were lowered. All who were not killed in the collision got off, ex cept Hall, who went down with his ship. He was picked up later by one of the boats, uninjured, with the ex ception of a few bruises. There was a choppy sea running, and the small boats could not make a landing on the shore a few miles distant. They drift ed about all day, and finally sixty- five people were picked up by the steamer Despatch, which took them to Eureka. Another boat, under com mand of Engineer Brown, containing thirteen people, attempted to land at Trinidad and was swamped and six men were drowned. When the Despatch reached Eureka with the survivors, the tugs were im mediately sent out for the missing boats. The tug Ranger picked up one containing eleven passengers and three of the crew. PROTOCOL Some of the WITH Terms NICARAGUA. of that Important Instrument. Washington, Jan. 6.—Some of the main features of the protocol between the United States and Nicaragua, re ferred to in President Zelaya's mes sage to congress, have been made knuwr .u dispatches from Managua. But there are many other important features which have not been dis closed, one of these being the com plete American jurisdiction and the establishment of American courts, civil and criminal, throughout a zone six miles wide, extending from ocean to ocean, and including t-he proposed canal termini, Greytown, on the At lantic, and Brito, on the Pacific. The entire policing of this large tract also is placed in the hands of the United States, so that it has the power to preserve order, and after that to issue judicial process extending throughout the zone. Besides the authority of American courts and of the American police in the six-mile zone, the chief features of the protocol are in giving a lease in perpetuity of this tract to the Unit ed States, and at the same time giv ing an American guarantee that the independence, sovereignty and integ rity of Nicaragua shall not be dis turbed by the rights thus conferred upon the United States. No exact information is obtainable as to the price specified in the protocol as pay ment to Nicaragua for the grant to this country. It can be stated posi tively, however, that this price is much less than was expected when the negotiations began, and that it is considered by officials as satisfactory, it is understood that at the outset the view in Nicaragua was that $20,- 000.000 would be paid for the grant to this country, and that $5,000(000 would be paid for Costa Rica’s grant. While there is no information as to the final sum in the protocol, it is known to be far short of the above figures. It takes the form of a per petual lease, and it is probable that the protocol includes the feature of an annual rent as part payment. A protocol with Costa Rica, identical in form with that with Nicaragua, ex cept in the matters of price and ter ritory leased, has been in course of negotiation, and it is understood that a satisfactory conclusion will be reached with that government. SAME OLD DOWAGER EMPRESS. She His Not Profited by Her Experiences of the Past Year. Pekin, Jan. 4.—Several recent oc currences tend to discourage the hope that the dowager empress has learned a lesson of reform from the events of the past year. Foreigners are dis posed to take a pessimistic view ot the outlook. General Yung Lu’s deter mination to organize two anti-foreign army corps to offset the communes of pro-foreign Chinese leaders is par ticularly disquieting, and an evidence of the continued domination of his in fluence, which is bitterly anti-foreign. Other incidents considered significant are the suppression of the only inde pendent newspaper in this city by or der of the governor ot Pekin, amj the closing of the industrial school here recently organized by philanthropic Chinese. The school was intended for the training of destitute youths. Other liberal Chinese will hesitate now to give practical vent to their theories, rearing the displeasure of officialdom. The edict regarding the recent mur der of a Belgian priest near Ning Sha Foo, in Kan Soo province, has ap peared. It appoints a special official to punish those guilty of the crime and reaffirms the dowager empress’ good will toward Christians. There is unus.ual activity upon the part of the court in the punishment of those guilty of an auti-Christian outrage, aud is taken as evidence of the dow ager empress’ desire to conciliate the powers upon the eve of the return oL the court to Pekin. Proofs accumulate that Prince Ching’s arguments persuaded the dow ager empress to trust herself within range of the legation forts. Officials arriving here describe the dowager empress and General Y’ung Lu as be ing extremely .nervous and suspicious lest tne foreigners are planning to entrap them after their arrival, and punish them for encouraging Boxer- ism. The foreigners will probably re view the court's re-entry into Pekin from the wall near the legations. The Chinese officials have been sounded by the ministers as to whether they will enforce the old custom of restrain ing foreigners from witnessing im perial processions. The replies are not encouraging. The treaty gives the legations a strip of wall commanding a view of the gates of the imperial city, and the members of the foreign community are planning to assemble thereon. It will be a great innova tion. PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO. Governor Hunt’s Message to the Legislature — Necessity for Change in Laws. San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 4.—Gov ernor Hunt’s message to the legisla ture of Porto Rico was delivered at 11 o’clock this morning before a joint session of that body held in the Thea ter San Juan. The building was crowd ed. The message says: ‘Tranquility and contentment pre vail in Porto Rico; schools have multi plied; railroads are being constructed; the commerce of the island has been developed and exports have increased, agriculture has become more profit able, roads are being built and debts are being paid. Tolerance of opin ion has become more common, forrnei antagonism being forgotten.” Governor Hunt’s report said further that 885 schools are open throughout the island, 934 teachers are employed in them, and 15,000 children attend them. The insular revenues have in creased the available balance by $128.- 000 over the balance of July, 1901, and the total balance today, including tariff rebates, ^tc., amounts to $2,- 000,000. Governor Hunt recommends the revision of the municipal laws and the adoption of modern city charters. Concerning the case of Santiago Inglesias (the representative of the American Federation of Labor, who was sentenced here December 11 to three years and four months' impris onment on a charge of conspiracy), the Governor referred to the ambigu ities of existing law, and said that the remedy therefor is in the hands of the legislature. “There is no room for lawlessness in Porto Rico,” said Governor Hunt, "but it is perfectly lawful to organize to secure better wages by peaceable measures. The ambition to bettor one’s condition is intensely American, and where the purpose of organiza tion is merely to increase the profits of labor, or to dignify its worth through peaceable means, a law sun ceptible to a construction forbidding the execution of such a purpose is un worthy the American Government, and should be wiped out.” REBELS NEAR MANILA. mall Gang Routed Near the City by Ameri cana With Heavy Loss.

ONE OR TWO TO MORE BE SENT ________ Government Desire to Avoid United States—Still Hopes Disturbing the to Col lect Claims Peaceably. Berlin, Jan. 2.—The small German cruiser Gazelle was ordered today to sail immediately from Kiel to Vene zuelan waters. The government in tends to send one or two other small warships to reinforce the present squadron in the Caribbean sea. The additions to Germany’s naval force in the Caribbean sea will not be suffi cient to give rise to suspicion among the people of the United States that Germany meditates anything beyond the collection of claims due German subjects. The German government desires beyond anything else in this matter to avoid disturbing the gov ernment or the people of the United States. German newspapers pub lished today are full of expressions of this kind, and many of these express ions are so much alike that it is easy to infer their utterance was suggest ed by the government. A remarkable thing is the fact that there is not a single unkind expression toward the United States in any of the newspa per comments. “We hope that this opinion,” says the Berliner Meunte Nachrichten, “which grew out of the Spanish war, and which we consider to be wholly I erroneous, will soon give place to a more correct conception of Germany’s aims. It is quite unreasonable that the people of the United States, hold ing such opinion, should connect this opinion with their Venezuelan affair, inasmuch as Washington has been fully informed of Germany’s intentions. ” The Lokal Anzeiger says: “The task for our diplomacy is to make German interests prevail against Ven ezuela without at the same time los ing touch with the American govern ment. The authorities at Washing ton have up to the present time shown such an intelligent compre hension of the situation and friendly disposition towards Germany’s wishes that no grounds for apprehension ex ists at this point. ” Replying to Germany’s assurance to the United States regarding the former’s plans in connection with Venezuela, the foreign office here has received an answer from Secretary Hay, expressing full satisfaction with the German position. Germany still hopes to collect her claims peaceably. PREDICTS ANOTHER WAR. American Says China Is Openly Violating the Protocol. New York. Jan. 2.—Charles F. Gammon, superintendent of colpor- teui* for the American Bible Society in Northern China, writes to the society concerning the present situa tion in the Chinese empire as follows: “While at Shanghai I observed that the Chinese government was openly violating the provisions of the proto col. The great empire would shake off European domination. Thou sands of boatloads of small arms and ammunition were passing weekly up the Yangtse Kiang and the arsenals were being enlarged and worked day and night. Cargoes of explosives were being received, and the dowager empress had issued instructions to all officials to recruit the am y, and also to inform her as to th: fighting strength of each division and the time required to concentrate the forces at a given point “There were and are many other unpromising features which weighed heavily upon the minds of those in terested. I must believe that the end is not yet, and that within 10 years, possibly within five, a war will ensue the like of which the world has never known. For centuries China has been making repeated attempts to expel the foreigner, each time profit ing by past experience, each time with more power and success, each time better equipped and better planned. “She is now preparing as never be fore, buying vast quantities of super ior weapons and reorganizing her armies on a correct basis. Therefore the next attempt will be gigantic in force and terrible in execution. It will result in a universal upheaval and the final dismemlierment of this empire—at a terrible cost.” Pan-American Conference. I RANSFtRRED «50,000,000. Great Government Job Acconipli.be t by a We-ter.i Official. Col. II. J. Burns, of Sau Francisco, can boast of the uuparallek-d record if having 25 times crossed the United States in a refrigerator car with mil lions of dollars in Ills possession. When in 1885 it was decided to take $50,000,000 of gold and silver from the Sub-Treasury of the United States at San Francisco to the Treasury nt Washington, Col. Burns, although a stanch Republican, bolding office in the United States marshal's office under a Democratic administration, was se lected for the task. Such an undertak ing at tiiat time was unknown and has never since been repeated. To accom plish tills task of moving the yellow and white millions necessitated 50 trips across the eontineut in a fruit car. mak ing in all a journey of more than 200,- 000 miles and consuming nearly a year’s time. All of this yellow treasure might have been loaded upon a train or two trains and transported to its destina tion on short notice. But the Treasury officials felt that the risk of such an undertaking would be too great even though they should guard tile trains with a regiment of soldiers. The coun try through which the treasure was taken was the worst in tlie land, and its reputation for obedience to law was at that time not so good its it is at pres ent. While the moving of the whole train load of money could not have been kept quiet, the plan by which the money was sent was kept a profound secret, although it may have been guessed by the train men. A single fruit car was fitted up as a combined treasure house and arsenal. Loaded with 17 tons of silver and gold, and coupled next to the engine of a passenger train, it gave out tlie general impression of a load of perishable fruit being hurried to its destination. For the first few trips Col. Burns and an assistant lived in tlie car day and night from start to finish. When trip after trip was made without molestation the assistant was taken oil and Burns fin ished ids task alone. Mrs. Henry Norman, who Is tlie au thor of that successful book, "Tlie Gil’1 in the Karpatliians,” lias written a novel called “Which Is Love.” A lady who does some magazine work says it rests her to have several tilings doing at once. She is writing her first novel, "A Life of Christ,” and a work on English surnames. Certaiuly monot ony does not clog lids wr* 1*'“”'“ pen. Tlie manuscripts of Tolstoi, tlie great Russian writer, are copied by his wife and daughter. These are corrected, interlined and erased over and over. A third copy is then made, which is read to a few selected friends before it is handled by the printer. It seems that Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett (Mrs. Stephen Townsend) likes to change publishers. She lias gone from Scribners to F. A. Stokes, and in England from Warner & Co. to Smith, Elder & Co. Formerly it was the good aud safe custom for writers to stick to their publishers. Some one lias made a collection of “slips of the pen” made by well-known authors. Some ot them are interesting: Wilkie Collins, in some mysterious fashion, makes tlie moon rise in tlie west; Rider Haggard, in “King Solo mon’s Mines,” contrived an eclipse of tlie new moon for tlie benefit of his leaders, and Coleridge places a star be tween tlie horns of tlie crescent moon ns she rises in tlie east. Sliakspeare makes a clock strike in ancient Rome, more than two thousand years before clocks were invented. Robinson Crusoe, deciding to abandon tlie wreck, re moves ills clothes in order to swim ashore; tlie author makes him, in tills condition, fill bis pockets full of bis cuits. Anthony Trollope pictures Andy Scott “coining whistling up lhe street with a cigar in his mouth.” Another book which should interest women Is “Her Royal Highness Wom an ” written by that witty Frenchman, Max O’Rell. He lias made woman his bobby all over the world. He says of American women: “If 1 could choose my sex nnd my birthplace I would shout to the Ahulgtffy, ’Oh! please make me an American woman.’ ” Some of his maxims might be published by themselves: "Never go down on your knees to declare your love, for you will spoil your trousers." “A loving woman will keep her heart warm as long as she lives and her hair black as long as she dyes.” “When you are dead It is for a long time; but when you are mar ried it’s forever.” “Women dress for breakfast and undress for dinner.” “The woman of forty is a joy—an In toxicating and incomparable joy.” “If you are bald, never make love to a woman taller than you. Looked at from below you are all right.” Mexico, City, Jan. 2.—With slight modifications, the proposal of the late Duarte Pereira for the appoint ment of a committee of jurists to codify international law was thia afternoon accepted by the Pan-Ameri- i can conference.

About five years ago niv right ear began to siug, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
