WREUK OF THE SUDTSMAN 859 People on Board Safe-Sir. Monitor! Brought Passengers to llhnouskl. A despatch from Montreal says :â€" The long overdue Dominion line steam- ship Scotsman, for the afety of which there has been so much anxiety for the past week, was reported on Thursâ€" day morning as being ashore on Belle Isle, five miles east of the lighthouse. Her-passengers and crew, numbering In all 2:59 souls, are reported all safe, 250 of them being on. the Elder-Demp- ster & Co.’s steamship Montfort, which passed Heath Point Thursday morn- Lng at 8 o'clock, and signalled the news, which was conveyed to Messrs. Torrance, the local agents of the Do- minion line. Later in the day Messrs. Torrance received an unsigned de- lpetch from Change Island, Newfound- land, a point in Notre Dame bay, about 140 miles south of the point where the boat is supposed to be lying, as fol- lows:â€"- - THE LINER WRECKED IN THE STRAITS OF BELLE ISLE. Scotsman ashore on ledge close in shore five miles east of Belle Isle light. Passengers all landed, but no provis- ions on the island depot. ‘All holds full. Ship lying even. Immediate as- sistance imperative. Reply. The following reply was sent at once to Change Island:â€" Assistance will be sent. Have ask- ed Government protection. It is not known what day the ship went ashore, but in all probability it was about Fri-day, as the ship would be in that vicinity, having been re- Ported 300 miles east of Belle Isle on El‘hvurs‘day. PASSENGERS REACH RIMOUSKI. The distance from Heath Point to Father Point is 302 miles. The Mont- fort passed [Heath Point at 8 a. m. Thursday, so that, barring fogs or oth- er obstacles, she will reach Father Point: early: Friday morning. Rimouski is but a few miles distant, and here it is intended to land the Scotsman‘s passengers. Arrangements have been perfected with the InLercolonial railâ€" way by which they will be brought with all possible speed to Montreal. The first breakfast of the passen- gers on shore after their exciting ex- periences of the past week, will, if pre- sent arrangements are carried out be enjoyed at Rimouski. VERY VALUABLE CARGO. The Scotsma-n’s cargo is a very valu- able one. But it would be absurd to even guess at its value. The cargo was the largest which had been loaded for this port during the present season. There is quite a considerable portion of it of a more or less perishable na- ture when exposed to water. At. pre- sent the possible loss is a mere matter 01 speculation, but as far as the Scots- man herself is concerned, if she goes to ai’eces, it will mean not less than $750,- 0. She was built originally at acost of $500,000, but since she was floated $250,000 extra has been spent in fitting her for the place she held on the Do- minion line. The Montford arrived at 11.30 with 9 survivors of the Dominion Liner cotsman, which was wrecked off 110 Isle at 2.30 a.m., on Friday last. leven lives were lost. They were: Mrs. Robinson, wife of the manager of the Canadian branch of the Sunlight Soap 00., Toronto; Miss Robinson, her daughter; Mrs. Childs, wits» of the stage manager of " The Sign of the Cross oompany;” Miss street, of Montreal; Mrs. Dickenson, of Windsor, Ont; all firstâ€"class passenâ€" gers. The secondb-class and steerage pas- sengers lost were: Miss Weavers, Mrs. Talbot, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Skelton, and the infant of Mrs. Roberts and two others unknown. Nine passengers and 45 of the crew were taken on to Liverpool by the Monterey and 29 passengers are left on the island and will he brought on by the first steamer. The scenes at the wreck were most gistressing. The crew behaved like iends, it is said. This is probably due to the fact that they were a scratch crew, made up at the last moment, the regular crew having struck. CREW GOT DRUNK. The passengers lost everything they possessed. Had the weather been cold- er, many of the women and children would have perished in making their way to the lighthouse. The Montford ls a freight ship, with scarcely any ac- commodation for passengers, and the passengers from the wrecked steamer must have been three or four nights on board the Monttord without sleep- ing accommodation or other comforts. The weather, however, was not severe. The stokers on the Scotsman were a scratch lot, owing to the strike in Liverpool, and other members of the crew got which Were on board, and. the officers Were utterly unable‘EO control_ them. The captain and officers used every effort to calm the passengers and t0 keep order, but were not well second- ed by the crew. Boats were swung out at once, and orders given for the women and children to embark, but this was no easy matter, as the ship had listed so greatly that the deck was at an acute angle. ( The first boat launched was soon filled with) women, but it was upset, and about 12 or 14 of the occupants drowned. ) The fiber boats were soon filled with passengers, mostly women, and stood of! from the ship, the position of the steamer being unknown to the of- SOME TAKEN T0 LIVERPOOL. ACCESS TO THE LIQUORS ELEVEN PERISHED. CREW ARRESTED WITH PLUNDER. ficers. Until the fog cleared there were several. from drowning while passengers were passed from the ship to the :boats, but fortunately no other casualties re- sulted. A deep‘atch from Montreal says :â€" The outrageous conduct of a, portion of the crew of the Dominion liner Scotsman in looking the vessel after it went on the rocks at Belle Isle has aroused the most intense indignation, and prompt steps have been taken to punish the offenders and recover the valuables. Warrants were issued by the Dominion line for the arrest of the Scotsman’s firemen who were brought up by the Montfort, and the warrants were given to the Montreal detectives to execute. Warrants were also issued at Quebec for the firemen who were brought up on the Grecian, but the proceedings were bungled at that city. The Quebec officers went down to the wharf in uniform, and when the Scots- man’s crew who were on board the Grecian, noticed them, they dropped the articles into the river, and the firebec police could find nothing on em. The Montreal police managed the business much more skilfully. A squad of 25 detectives in plain clothes, under command of Sergt. Campauy were detailed to await the arrival of the Montfort, and arrest the suspected firemen. The Montfort reached part about 7.30 on Sunday morning, and as‘ soon as she was in Detecitve Camlpau and his men went on board. The men Were quickly located, and surrounded by the officers. They were complete- ly taken by surprise, and seeing that it was useless to offer any resistance, they gave themselves up quietly. Twenty-four in all were arrested. WANTED TO LYNCH THEM. Each man marched off the ship separately with his luggage. under charge of an officer. The news of the contemplated arrests had spread, and a crowd of several hundred people had gathered on the wharf. When the prisoners appeared, they were greeted with an outburst of yells and heats. The crowd made arush! at the prisonâ€" ers. and there were Cries of “Hang them!” "Throw them into the river!" etc. The officers were obliged to draw their batons to protect the prisoners and had the crowd only hadaleader, it is likely that short work would have been made of some of the dastardly crew. The prisoners, followed by the jeerâ€" ing crowd, were marched from the wharf to the central police station, where they were taken to the detecâ€" tive headquarters. Each man was then taken into a private room and his clothes and luggage searched, Nearly all the prisoners carried sacks and bundles, which were crammed with goods. The search resulted in a collection of a large quantlty of valuables and ar- ticles of all descriptions which had been taken from the cabins on the Scotsman, by the men. The collection wa a remarkable one, including cloth- ing, ladies' dresses and belts, silk stockings and underwear, watches, Jewellery, photo cameras, silver shav- ing casas, pipes, fancy robes, silk dresses, valuable diamond and other rings and pins, brushes, boots ,and shoes, shawls, and pocketbooks, in many instances containing money. All had been crammed together into the bags. Thrilling Story of Ille Destruction oi’ u Gil-15' School in India. (A despatch from Calcutta, says:â€" The story of the destruction of the Ida. Villa branch of the Caluu'tta girls school, supported by the American Methodists, is related by Miss Stahl, who saved many of the children. ‘A landslip compelled the occupants to leave the buildings. and Miss Stahl, guiding the children, commenced a perilous climb, finally gaining the Mall road. All the time rain was pouring down in torrents. the earth was shak- ing, and the children were terrified. The blackness of the night, falling boulders. the crashing of trees, and fears of the earthquake, finally com- pelled the party to return to. the Ida Villa. Even then Miss Stahl had a struggle with the children, who, fear- ing the collapse of the house, sought toitly into the night. ' Misses Reid and Soundry finally made another attempt and escaped with the children. They were, how- ever. overwhelmed by a landslip. .The teachers escaped. Fbut many of the children perished. In the meantime the Ida Villa had been also destroyed. Will Burlee, the sole survivor, says that when it was seen that escape was impossible a sister made them all kneel in prayer, and while {kneeling the hoglse wasAswept away. 7 It’ is estimafed tha't the loss to the tea garden proprietors alone is about $5,900,000; " Qwe'em Victoria on hearing of the dis- aster telegraphed her profownd sym- pathy to the bereaved families.

NARROW ESCAPES A Spectacle of Transcendth Impressive- neuâ€" Popular Enthusiasm for the Allmlral Finds Vent In Continuous l‘heerlnx. A despetch‘ from New York, says:â€" The blue-jackets on Admiral Dewey’s flagship were herd at work long be- fore sunrise on Friday morning wash- ing down decks and preparing the flagship tor the most magnificent naval demonstration that has ever taken place in an American port. Like activity was in progress on the other warships riding at anchor below the Olympia. The scene was a glorious one as the sun’s rays glistened on the white side of the big vessels and the black hulls of the small ones. The weather could not have been more de- lightful. There was scarcely a cloud in the sky, it was pleasantly cool, and there was a light breeze from the south just strong enough to straighten out the flags. i THE GREAT NAVAIJ PARADE. DEWEY DAY IN NEW YORK. THE CITY’S MAGNIFICENT WEL- COME TO THE HERO 0F MANILA. At lo’clock sharp the squadron got under way. It was an inspiring mo- ment when the column started up the harbor. and the great naval parade began to be areality. First came the police boat patrol, which was the apex of a wedge spreading out to the fire- boats, New Yorker and Van Wyck, which followed abreast. vThe steamer Sandy Hook, having on board the Mayor and the representatives of the City of New York, with the standards of the city flying from the fore and aft staffs, steamed alongside the Olym- pia, the flagship of Admiral Dewey, on the port side. Along followed the armored cruiser Chicago, the flagship of Rear-Admiral Howison; the armored ‘cruiser New York, the flagship of Rear- lAdmiral Sampson, with its big turrets and guns, appearing like a moving fortâ€" ress as it followed, in the wake of the Chicago; the two firstâ€"class battleships Indiana and Massachusetts, grim and menacing, in the order named, steam- ed along, followed by the battleship Texas. with the Brooklyn astern. In the rear of these modern engines of war came the Lancaster, then followed this guinboat Marietta. with the auxiâ€" liary cruliser Scorpion behind. Abreast steamed: the torpedo boats Porter, Dwâ€" pont, Ericssen, Winslow and Cashing and following th‘em came the natty revenue cutters Manning, Algonquin, Gresham, Winslow and Onondaga. Next in) line were the tran’spbrts Sedgwickt McPherson and. McClellan, and after them came the hospital ship Mrussouri. Then began the civic and maritime aspect of the big naval parade. 'Flyâ€" ing the flag ot the State of New York and having on board the representa- tives of the naval militia, came the steamer Monmouth, followed by other boats with members of the naval mili- tia. In single file came the General Slocum and Glen Island, with the mem- bers of the general committee of citizens, the Mount Hope with the legislative branch of the city governâ€" ment, the Warwick with the heads of the city departments. and the Mat.- tewan with members of the press. Then followed. two abreast, 98 graceâ€" ful, magnificentlywappointed yachts, led by the Corsair. the flagship of Comâ€" modore J. Pierpont Morgan, and Sir Thomas Liptons yacht Erin. After the yachts came 100 steamships of the merchant marine, with three flagships in single file, than :five steamers abreast and the remainder in files of Lwos. The third and last division of the parade consisted of more than 100 handsomely decorated tugs, yachts,‘ pleasure crafts, etc., coughing, snort~1 ing and churning the water and mak- 1 ing ten times the fuss of a big warship. ‘ There were side wheelers, propellers, electric boats and every kind of craft: except a sailing vessel. l GREETING TO THE OLYMPIA. As the Olympia came abreast from‘ the battery a mighty shout from the‘ people began. As the flagship movedl up the river waves of cheering, rose} and blasts from all the steam craft at I the whurves and in the river. ’Men and women both became hys‘lerlcal as they shouted and screamed thelr triâ€" butes to the Admiral. After the war- ships, Sir Thomas Lipton’s steam yacht, the Erin, was much applauded. bir Thomas Lipton had taken up a pusi- tion on the bridge at the Erin, the mo- ment she got under way, to guide the starboard column, and, except for a few minutes spent on the quarterdeck, just after passing the battery. he re- mained at the side of the skipper, Capt. Mathews, waving his yachting cap in response to the babel of human and team tongues until after the Erin had rounded the turning-point off Grant’s tomb. There were many dlsting‘uished guests on the Erin, including the Hon. Charles Russell, who arrived from England yesterday; Sir R, Burdett, Halford Burdett. Hugh C. McGildoway, James Craig, Col. Sharmanâ€"Crawford and Dr. F. Mackay. In the line of yachts were two other visitors, the Erl King and the White Ladye. From some points on shore Admiral Dewey could be seen standing on the bridge of the Olympia, and wherever this was the case the neisemaking and waving of handkerchiefs by the crowds sur- passed that at other points. The crowd waiting at Grant’s tomb was the larg- est ever gathered there. The officer in charge of the great mausoleum said that seventeen thousand persons, as near as he could estimate, had visited the tomb during the morning, and all of these and many more remained in that vicinity to see the warships. The parade was one hour and fifteen minutes passing Fulton street. The vessels moved at about elght knots an hour; llontllltles Expected to Commence Early This Week. ‘A despatch from Lendon says:â€" From all points in the Transvaal, Na- tal, and Capt Colony come reports of continued military activity on the frontiers, and while the movements of individual commands as yet do not show concerted plans, it is evi- dent that the narrow, wedge-like strip of Natal whose apex is crowned with the ominous name of Majuba Bill, will be the centre of the canning storm. Late on Saturday the Boers established a camp at Scheeper’s Nek, near Vry- held, and they will mobilize a great force on the Buffalo river on Sun- day, which the authorities at Dundee expect will move across the border to that spot, probably at once. It is be- lieved that a conflict at this point will certainly occur early in the week. At the same time the Boers are collecting a force of 2,000 under Commander Orange near Mafeking, where 001. Baden-Powell is stationed. Despatch- es from Tull, Rhodesia, announce that another force of burghers is massed at Pietersburg, fifty miles south, and ‘that outlying parties are posted at all ‘the drifts along the Limlpopo river. In the meantime Col. Plummer‘s column is moving 50 miles nearer the Transvaal fronther, and has establish- ed telephone connections to Within six miles of Rorke’s drift on the Limpopo. Enthusiastic scenes at all the railway: stations have marked the advance of the Natal volunteers. Desp‘atches from Mafeking announce that Commandent Cronge, commander of the border police, crossed the borâ€" der and visited Chief Baralonga, ap- pcarentlyi with the object of inciting him to flight. The British Civil Comâ€" missioner ordered the chief to stay and protect the women and children, tellâ€" ing him that he would not be allowed to fight. The Boers openly threaten to raid Vryburg, in British Bechuanaland, as soon as hostilities open, and the Kim- berley Advertiser complains of the apathy of the Cape Ministry in not- taking steps to prevent this. It is evident that Buffalo river, the north-eastern boundary" of Natal, is to be the Potomac of the war. In view of its strategic value, Joshua Joubert. has taken absolute command, of the forces there. He is placing a strong line of pickets along the river, and has ordered the natives to drive in all the stocks. All the available burghera in the neighbourhood have been requisiâ€" tioned, with the result that some. 2,000 have mobilized at Wakkerstroom, the chief point of mobilization there. The Transvaal field comets are tak- ing the names of colonial Boers who are Willing to cross the border in the event of war. Welshman, if They Come to Canada, In- sire to Preserve Social Institutions. A despatoh from Winnipeg says:â€" The Welsh farm delegates, headed by Lloyd George, M.P., for the east on Wednesday after a thorough inspec- tion of Western Canada. They are much impressed with what they have seen, and believe the country emin- ently suited for Welsh farmers, though they will recommend that, if any con- siderable numbers come out, they 10- cate in colonies so they can preserve the social institutions which are dear to them. The Weapon Was Discharged and Minnie! “'ns Killed. A despa tell from Gravenhurst, Ont., says zâ€"Fred Sh-unter, at Glen Orchard, while out hunting, shot a fox. ,lmh mediately after shooting he reloaded his rifle, but neglected to put down the hammer. He found the fox was not quite dead, and struck it a blow with the butt end of his gun, which dis- charged, The ball pierced his right hand and entered his right side, pass~ ing clean through his body just below the heart. Although in great agony, he managed to crawl to his house, a distance of about a quarter of a mile, but expired shortly afterwards.

Superintendent Pedley and Commis- sioner McCreary, of the Immigration Service, who have just returned from the Doukhobor colony at Yorkton, state that the stories of p‘rivation among these people are untrue. They have plenty of supplies, and will be able to tide over the winter nicely with money that the men are now earning. WANT TO LOCATE IN COLONIES.

Samuel Wood Had a Lot of Trouble, and Ills Mind is Supposed lo llave Become l'nllhsged. \ ‘ A despatch from Brantford,- Ont. says:-â€"Word reached this city on Thursday morning of a melancholy tragedy which occurred on Wednesday near the village of Kelvin, in Burford township. A man named: Samuel Wood. tired of life, first shot his taithâ€" ful dog dead and then blew out his own brains. Wood was 50! years of age, and unmarried. He had had a lot of trouble, and his mind is supposed to have been unhinged. Wednesday he took his shotgun, and. calling his dog, walked towards a woods not far from his home in search of. small game. The men must have been brooding over his troubles, for just before he reached the woods he turned on the dog at his heels and shot him dead. He then walked into the bush, where he came upon some men at work. The men ‘asked him what he had shot at, and ‘he replied that he‘ had killed his dog, {but would give no reason except that it was better dead. Wood then strol- led back to where the (log lay, and be- fore anyone noticed what he was do. ing placed the muzzle of the gun to his head and pulled the trigger by means of a stick. The whole top of the man’s head was blown off, and he fell dead instantly close beside the body of his fourâ€"footed companion.
