Two Freight Steamers Wrecked in Lake
Superior.
Duluth, Minn., Nov. 24.—The heaviest
marine loss in a year is reported by the
Inman tug Castle, which returned from
the wreck of the freight steamer Tampa
at Beaver bay. The Castle found the steel
freight steamer Arthur Orr, nine miles
further eastward from the Tampa, ashore
and broken in two. The great blizzard
caused the wreck of both steamers. The
crew from the Orr had made their way to
Beaver bay, w'here they had found the
crew of the Tampa. It took them 24
hours without food to get nine miles to
that place. They suffered intensely with
cold. They were greatly surprised to find
the men from the Tampa at Beaver bay,
as until then they knew nothing of the
■wreck of the Tampa. The Orr left here
Monday with 2200 tons of flour and 500 tons
of copper, shipped on account of the
Northern steamship company. She went
ashore about the same time the Tampa did..
The coast is very rocky, the shore sliding
into deep water suddenly, which makes
the steamer’s position extremely danger-
ous. The spot where the Orr restst^ia-

and adds Mrs. Andrews and children of
Salt Lake to the missing, and omits the
name of Tate Pryor, as he is said to have
been seen by friends since the fire. It will
be some time before an accurate list can
be obtained, as it is impossible to make a

New York, N. Y., Nov. 24.—Of the status
of the old traffic associations, survivors of
the joint traffic association, which was
disbanded on the decision of the United
States supreme court, George R. Blanch-
ard, formerly the association commission-
er, said last night: “I consider it quite
uncertain whether congress will take any
action in regard to a pooling law at the
coming session. The joint traffic associa-
tion is now divided into two separate as-
sociations, the central traffic freight as-
sociation, with Mr. Tucker as commis-
sioner, and the central traffic passenger
association, with Mr. Donald as commis-
sioner.”
Commissioner James B. Gordon of the
trunk line association said that it had not
changed its agreement, as the association
■was not affected by the supreme court de-
cision..
Chauncey M. Depew, president of the
joint traffic association, when asked what
was to become of the individual members
of the board of managers, most of whom
have no other duties with the roads which
they represent, replied: “With the useful-
ness of these men cease their service, but
they will be taken care of. It is true that
these men have, been instructed to wind
up the affairs of the joint traffic associa-
tion without delay, but it may be that*the
several reads will find it to their interets
to preserve the commission as a bureau of
information. The convenience, and value
of such a central body for inter-communi-
cation. and conference have been clearly
demonstrated. The different lines can
settle little disputes and avoid friction
more easily through the medium of such a
body than in- any other way.
“Suppose, for instance, that word
reaches the ears of President Calloway
that some irregularity in. rate making is
being practiced on the. Pennsylvania sys-
tem. He telephones Mr. Hayden, the New
York’s Central’s representative in the bu-
reau of information, and the latter at once
turns to Mr. Gray, 'the. Pennsylvania’s
representative, and says: ‘What is there
in this?’ Mr. Gray, being in constant per-
sonal communication with President
Thompson of the Pennsylvania., ascer-
tains the facts immediately and the trou-
ble is explained and stopped without any
red tape and without the delays incident
to official correspondence.”
THE FRUITS OF VICTORY.
Paris, Nov. 24.—At the banquet of the
American university club last evening,
Gen. Horace Porter, who presided said:
“Within a week the United States will
have concluded substantially a peace
treaty. It will be such a treaty as will
secure all the fruits of our victories. Our
people have indorsed the principle of ex-
pansion. The Americans who opposed the
war now admit that America is justified in
discarding the swaddling clothes of infan-
cy and extending the privileges of her
freedom as widely as possible. The war

two brave girls gave precedence to the
guests, and then Miss Johnson took her
position on the rope and went down hand
over hand. Miss Richardson was the last
to leave, and she had gone down one
story when Capt. White, who occupied a
room on that floor, called to her appeal-
ingly, begging her not to jump. Miss
Richardson stopped and begged the cap-
tain to take her place’, but he refused to do
so, and only by dint of much persuasion
could he induce Miss Richardson to save
herself, promising to follow in her wake.
Miss Richardson reached the ground in
safety, and Capt. White had launched him-
self in the air when suddenly the rope
broke and he fell to the ground below, a
distance of nearly a hundred feet. The
rope, weakened by the intense strain to
which it had been subjected, and chafed
by contact with the window sills, which
had become intensely hot, could not stand
the strain of Capt. White’s weight, and
broke.

could not stand the strain, and he died.

death in the building himself, being

A Bunch of Keys.”
New York, N. Y., Nov. 24.—In its review;
of trade conditions the Iron Age, the
leading authority on the iron business,
will say today:
“The rail trade- has had a startling, sur-
prise during the last week. It was the
general belief that nothing but formally
fixing the signatures to the agreement
and their ratification by the boards of di-
rectors was required to make the common
selling- agency an established fact. At
the last moment, it is reported,, the Pitts-
burg interest withdrew and the elaborate
plan fell to the ground. It appears, how-
ever, that a series of fresh negotiations
were undertaken and that some sort of a
truce has been now arranged for among
the rail makers of the central west. Be-
fore thes.e were consummated a large busi-
ness was done in the west at concessions,
but there is a good deal oT tonnage still in
the market. Buyers appear to have with-
drawn to test the strength of the western
understanding. In the east a good many
orders have been placed.
“Rail makers point to the fact that a
very large tonnage for 1899 is assured, so
large, indeed that the western mills par-
ticularly will be employed. They argued
that it would be senseless to cut prices
and thus abandon as good a chance as
they are likely to have in years to make
the rail trade profitable. Yet the danger
of very sharp competition is close at hand,
particularly since the hope of the adop-
tion of a general working arrangement
has been abandoned.
“To the iron trade at large the develop-
ments in the rail trade during the past
week mean that high prices in that branch.
are out of the question, and that consump-
tion will not be hampered from that
source. Those rail mills whiqh are not
exclusively engaged in this branch will
not be as potent and disturbing factors in
the general steel trade as they have been
at times in recent years. Rail profits will
not be partly applied to fighting a fund in
the billet and other departments. The
happenings in the rail trade will, there-
fore, be regarded with equanimity, if, in'
fact, they are not considered favorable
from at least one point of view, and that
is the consumption of steel for 1899. If a
heavy rail demand and active consump-
tiion, stimulated by widespread increased
purchasing capacity, coupled with low
prices and heavy export shipments, coin-
cide, as they promise to do, then 1899 ought
to strain our productive resources to the
utmost.
“So far as the general trade is concerned
the developments of the week have been
favorable throughout. Seaboard consum-
ers of foundry iron are beginning to take
increasing interest in the market. In Phil-
adelphia sales have been heavy and else-
where leading founders are coming for-
ward. Some of the large pipe founders
are testing the market and some good
sized inquiries have been out for basic
open hearth pig.
“In the Pittsburg district there has
been some good buying of Bessemer pig,
while steel billets have recovered from
their recent weakness and are held at
higher prices. In Chicago there have been
very large purchases of car material, the
sales of bars figuring up 10,000 tons, while
one ordetr for 550 tons of beams was placed.
Export inquiries are numerous, but the
question of ocean freights is becoming
more t.anglesome. It is stopping much new
business and is delaying deliveries on old
contracts.”
The action of Messrs. Petterson, Olsen
and Christiansen., three independent pilots,
who have started in to do business at
this port, has stirred up a hornet’s nest
in shipping circles. They started out
Tuesday at noon and by yesterday after-
noon had brought in the following ships:
The steamship Benedick, Jackson mas-
ter; brought in by
steamship Blenheim,
brought in by Pilot Christiansen,
steamship Shirley, Whymper
brought in Pilot Gus Petterson.
This is said to be the first successful at-
tempt of independents to do business in
opposition to the members of the Pilots’
association. Numerous attempts have
been made heretofore, but the movement
never was fully organized and never com-
manded much attention.
It may be of interest to people who are
concerned in this fight against the Pilots’
association (for such this movement un-
doubtedly is) to know that the present
law governing the appointment of pilots
and providing a board of commissioners
has been on the statute books of Texas
since 1846. The first law did not fix the fees
to be charged, but left that matter to the
board, of pilot commissioners.
In 1866 a further act was passed by the
legislature providing that no pilot should
charge more than $4 a foot for his serv-
ices. It fixed that as a maximum charge
and the present scale show's that the full
limit allowed by law is exacted.
The act of 1866 also provides that -who-
ever brings in a ■ vessel which was
“spoken” by a regular pilot he shall for-
feit $50 to the regular pilot so hailing. To
illustrate this: Two of the vessels above
mentioned were “spoken” by members of
the Pilots’ association yesterday and now
according- to the state law the independ-
ents -who brought them in are subject to a
penalty of .$50 each.
The Tribune, is informed that at north-
ern ports the pilots go'far out to sea to
meet ships, often to a. distance of 100
miles or more. At Galveston the regular
pilots proceed but a short way beyond the
mouth of the jetties and there wait for
vessels to come up.
Legal proceedings will be instituted this
week by the Pilots’ association to break
up the independent movement. They will
allege that the new men are operating in
direct violation of state law, and it is
understood will set up the claim that there
are plenty of regular pilots here to do the
business. Messrs. Petterson, Olsen and
Christiansen have secured legal advice
and are prepared to make a fight. They
will allege that the Pilots’ association is a
monopoly and a trust seeking to control
a business here that should be open to all
competent men. They will further allege
that the pilot commissioners have not held
a meeting for a long time and that sev-
eral of the present pilots are working
under commissions that have expired.
Some well informed attorneys have ven-
tured the opinion that the Texas pilotage
laws are unconstitutional for the reason
that the federal government never sur-
rendered to the states the absolute^ right
to control in this matter,
Capt. Boddeker, who claims to be the
oldest licensed pilot in the state, says
he is barred from his rights because’ the
Pilots’ association will not recommend
him so. he can be reappointed. He is in
the government service here as a pilot, but
prefers to work for himself.
The fight now on promises to be taken
into the next legislature, and Gov.-elect
Sayers will be asked to ignore the Pilots’
association and appoint a number of new
men. The Pilots’ association has cut a
wide swath in local politics for years and
has al-ways been strong enough to protect
itself from ambitious competitors. Ap-
peals have heretofore been made to the
Chamber of commerce: to take a hand
against the association, on the ground
that it was obstructing the best interests
of the port, but nothing was ever done.
The present independent movement will
bring the matter into the courts and will
no doubt reseult in some new legislation
on the subject.

Charles D. Sigsbee, who, as commander
of the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, had a
brilliant share in the naval exploits of
the Spanish war of 1898. May you live

Denver, Colo.—Open gambling in Denver
has been stopped. The district court dis-
solved the injunction, obtained by the Iro-
quois club forbidding the police to inter-
fere with the games conducted in its

mediately closed in order to avoid being-
raided. Chief of Police Farley says he
will have his officers batter £pwn the
doors of any place where gambling goes
on and arrest all employes.
Austin, Tex.—Gov. Culberson has noti-
fied the penitentiary board that he will
not approve the purchase of the Lowood

says: “My action is based upon the opin-
ion that both the personal property and
the land are too high. It is a matter of
sincere regret to differ from the board and
penitentiary authorities, but my convic-
tion that the price named is more than
should be paid is such that I can not yield
it”

Joplin, Mo., Nov. 24.—Zinc ore sold here
in the past 24 hours for $39.50 a ton, which,
is $3 a ton more than has ever been paid,
in this district. Present prices are nearly
double those of a year ago. For several
months past an increase in the demand,
has caused a steady cimb in prices. The
present jump was due to the stopping of.
several mines by unfavorable weather.

A Million and a Half Loss,With Insurance
of $50,000.
San Francisco, Cali., Nov. 24.—A careful
estimate of the loss by the Baldwin hotel
fire places the loss at $1,500,000, on which
at the outside there was not over $150,000
insurance. The insurance of $50,000 ’car-
ried on the hotel was ridiculously small.
The reason for this lay in the high rate
charged and the fact that the underwriters
did not care to carry a large line on such
a building of wood and brick, with no
brick dividing the walls .and but one out-
side wall of brick. The insurance on the
stocks of goods in the burned structure
and the store fittings amounts, to $72,250.
George A. Moss carried $22,800, Hyman
& Myers $30,500, Isaac Grant’s drug store
$5000, J. J. Groom $3000, M. A. Gunst &
Co. $10,000, J. Eiling $3500, and smaller
■sums were carried by other tenants. The
smoke and water damaged adjoining build-
ings $20,000, so that $150,000 will cover the
insurance loss. In the list of missing per-
sons the two chambermaids and Tate
Pricer have been accounted for. Mrs. An-
drews and two children, guests at the
hotel, have not been seen since the fire,
and their names have been added to the
list of missing. Capt. J. S. White of this
city and Lewis Meyer of Skaguay, Alaska,
are the only known victims.
Capt. White, who occupied a room on
the fourth floor, was killed while trying to
escape by means of a .rope which dangled
from the fifth floor almost to the street
below. The rope had previously done good
service, being the means by which five
persons escaped from the burning build-
ing.
The story of the rope is a thrilling one.
For eight years Kate Richardson has
been an employe of the hotel, occupying a
room on the fifth floor. Five years ago
Miss Richardson, as a precautionary
measure for just such an emergency, pri-
cured a lengthy rope, long enough to
reach from her room to the street. When
the alarm was given Miss Richardson,
with the assistance of Gussie Johnson, a
companion, secured the rope to a piece of
heavy furniture and threw the free encl
out of the window. The two girls were
about to make the descent to the pave-
guests rushed into
to be saved. The

WILL SPAIN REFUSE'.
New York, N. Y., Nov. 24.—A dispatch to
the World from Paris says: “It is rumored
in Spanish circles that Spain will refuse
to assent to America’s proposals. Despite
Montero Rios’ boast on Monday that the
Spanish commission would be quite ready
to reply to the American ultimatum they
have asked for a further adjournment.”
The Temps says: “If Spain should with-
draw from the peace negotiations the war
would not be resumed, but the protocol
would come into force again. The Span-
ish army would evacuate Cuba and Porto
Rico, while the Philippines would remain
in Dewey’s occupation, but not America’s.
The only result would be that diplomatic
relations would not be renewed. Such a
course is preferable to a renewal of hostil-
ities, but one would rather wish to see a
movement of reason and conscience in the
United States and not an abuse of the
rights of a conqueror, or at least an
avoiding of a recourse to force, which the
civilized world would neither understand
nor approve.”
