Mfumrr (hiil Kent Thrill Ip MiddrnlT ■llkii|i|iriirril-niil Mlie Sink I San Francisco, (March 13.—Great mystery attaches to the disappear ance and identity of a steamer which in reported to have sent up signals of distress off Point Reyes Wednes day night, and which suddenly disap peared. as if swallowed lip by the sea. .Ttist "jefore her disappearance, the observers say, the steam siren of the distressed vessel sounded three long blasts and lanterns were swung on the port side in a frantic manner, indicating that great excitement must have prevailed. To the watch ers at the Point Reyes lighthouse, it looked as though those on .board were preparing to disembark. Capt. Jorgensen, of the lighthouse, with his men launched a life boat and spent several hours in the vicinity of the spot where the steamer is sup posed to have gone down, but noth ing to indicate a wreck was found. The steamer Corona, from Eureka, Cal., signalled that she had passed through immense quantities of wreck age early Thursday morning at a point about 30 miles southeast of Point Arena. Investigation indicates that this wreckage was a portion of the deekload of the steam schooner Alcatraz, from Greenwood Landing, Cal., wthieh was lost during a storm on March 8. The Alcatraz arrived in port safely several days ago. The opinion about the merchants' ex change is that while the Point Reyes people may have seen signals of some •sort, these were intended to indicate that the vessl was in grave danger. STORM BEATEN. Terrible Experience of the Crew of a Wrecked Schooner. Seattle, Wash., March 13. The fishing and sealing schooner George W. Prescott, of Victoria, was cap sized and completely wrecked Monday morning 30 miles off the Columbia river. One member of the crew, an Tmlian. was lost. The entire crew had a narrow escape from death. The steamer Montara. which picked up the crew, brought them to Seattle yesterday. For more than 4-S hours the Prescott and her crow floundered in the waves. Finally the crew were compelled to tie themselves to the wreck and await assistance. For 50 hours they were drenched to the skin, without food and every minute ex pecting to he dashed to pieces. The Montara was sighted early Wednesday morning. The crew was taken aboard. It consisted of four white men and 18 Indians. Capt. Barring, of the Montara, sunk the schooner after the crew was taken off. The mast was caught in a heavy cross sea and was completely over turned. The entire crew was washed overboard, but all save one succeeded in swimming back and clinging to the wreck. The loss is estimated at SG,OOO. WANT MORE PAY. Trainmen Prepare to nemiiiid a Bis Increase in W a<:cM. Chicago, March 13.—The Record- Herald says: Early in May a concerted demand will be made by the trainmen of all railroads centering in Chicago for a Taise in wages amounting to between 12 and 15 per cent. Preceding their visit to Chicago the trainmen's com mitters are to make a similar demand upon the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railroads. They will ask that the pay of con ductors and brakemen of through lo cal and way freight, mixed and work trains be raised 15 per cent., with a pro rata for overtime and that pas senger conductors, brakemen, flag men and train porters be given a 12 per cent, raise. Recent settlements upon this basis hav been made with the Union Pacific and part of the Banta Fe roads, and it is expected that no difficulty will be experienced in inducing the Hill lines to meet the advanced schedules. The movement will affect many thousand men and the railroad managements are com paring notes with a view of standing together in the replies made to the demands.

SUITRESS DISEASE. New Code Announced Relative to Cattle in United States. All Peranna Oivnlne, TlniiHgliis or 'l'ransportlut: Animal* yiust Mce to It that Cattle Are Not Alfeeted with Contu sions IMsi-use. Washington, March 13. —The de partment of agriculture yesterday announced a new code of regulations for the suppression of contagious dis eases among domestic animals in the United States. The regulations re voke those of April 15, 1887. The n«w regulations require all per sons owning, managing or transport ing animals to exercise reasonable diligence to ascertain that the ani mals are not affected with any con tagious or infectious disease, nor ex posed by contact with other animals so affected, or by being in pens or ve hicles contaminated by diseased ani mals before such persons offer them for transportation or introduce them into public stock yards, or on pub lic highways or lines of inter-state traffic. All persons having charge of affect ed or exposed animals are required to keep them confined and away from other animals, and no person con-' trolling premises or vehicles where diseased or exposed animals have been shall allow them to be occupied by healthy animals until the danger of infection is removed. Any state or territory or the District of Columbia where there exists a contagious or infec tious disease among animals is to be considered an infected locality. The movement of suspected animals in or through any infected locality will be governed by these regulations and any subsequent orders of the secre tary of agriculture, and vehicles used for their transportation must be dis infected according to the secretary's orders. The shipment or removal of hay, straw, forage or other similar ma terial, or of any meats, hides or other animal products from an infected lo cality may be prohibited when deemed necessary and shall be dis posed of to guard against the spread of contagion. Shipments of live stock and products may be stopped in tran sit for inspection, and disposed of if found liable to disseminate the con tagion. No animals susceptible to a contagious or infectious disease, or the products of such animals, or hay and similar material originating in or passing through a foreign country where such a disease exists, will be admitted into the United States when their importation "would endanger the live stock industry of the United States." The regulations provide for the quarantining of limited portions of any state or territory and for com pensation to owners of animals slaughtered. Violation of these reg ulations or other similar orders of the secretary of agriculture is made punishable by a fine of SIOO to SI,OOO, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by both fine and impris onment. A TERRIBLE CRIME. A Missouri Farmer Kills Ills Wile and Six Children. St. Louis, March 13. —Adolph Krauss, a German farmer living 21 miles west of St. Louis, near Belle fontaine, last night killed his wife and six children with a sledgehammer He then knocked himself unconscious with the hammer and at midnight was dying. Krauss suddenly became insane, it is believed. He had the reputation among his neighbors of being a quiet, inoffensive, industrious farmer and no cause but insanity has been assigned. About 7 o'clock last night John Krauss, a brother, went to Adolph's house to make a call. The lights were out, but the door was unlocked and he entered the house and upon striking a light was horrified to dis cover the terrible tragedy. From all that can be learned Adolph Krauss entered the house some time in the afternoon armed with a sledgeham mer. Without warning he struck his wife in the head, killing her instant ly. Then seizing his first child, aged 12. he dealt a murderous blow. The other five children were killed simi larly, the last being a six-months-old baby. Krauss then placed the seven bodies side by side on the floor in one room. He then seized the hammer and dealt himself a blow on the skull which fractured it and knocked him uncon scious, his body falling almost in line with those of his victims. Wrecked by a Split Hall. New Castle, Pa., March 13.—The Buffalo and Cleveland express, a fast passenger on the Pittsburg A Lake Erie railroad, was wrecked near Ma honingtown yesterday by the split ting of a rail which derailed the train while running at high speed.

SITUATION IS AL» RMING. yilsalssl pill's Flood ,TI«: .nit* Higher Armed .Tlmi <>uardlu;£ Levees. 'Memphis, Tenn., March 14. —The river gauge last nigh* was 36.5 feet anil rising. This i , an advance of seven-tenths of a foot since G o'clock Thursday night, and Mu- weather bu reau predicts that thrise will con tinue at an increased rate to-dav, when a stage of more than 37 feet is expeested. The bureau continues to anticipate a stage of more than 38 feqt and ipossibly more than 39. A telegram was received yesterday from Caruthersville saying that the sit uation there is unchanged and that there is nothing alarming in the sit uation. Capt. Lucas has returned from a trip of inspection and re ports the levees on both sides of the Mississippi in good shape except near Modoc, Ark., where a serious break occurred in 1897, and which has never been completely repaired. The engi neers are hopeful that the embank mr ts will hold. t lief Engineer Pharr, of the St. Frincis levee, has issued a notice to all engineers in charge of districts asking them to post notices prohib iting persons from appearing on or approaching the levees at any point during the night, under pain of being fired upon by the levee patrols. All steamers arriving Friday brought in large numbers of refugees and much live stock. Cairo, 111., March 14. —The river gauge last night marked 50.4 feet. There is little change in the situa tion. A number of refugees have ar rived and more territory is reported under water. Jackson, Miss., March 14. —Gov. Longino left yesterday for Greenville, where he will direct the work of the convicts in repairing the levees. Re ports from Clarksdale state that the situation is more grave than ever, on account of the continued rain. Vicksburg, Miss., March 14. —The flood situation in this section is steadily growing worse. It is inten sified by continued heavy rains. While 'he engineers are keeping up a brave ifront, it is plain that they fear the worst. A new short levee north of Lake Providence is causing the most con cern. On the lower Yazoo several of the finest plantations in Warren coun ty are submerged. Specials from Donaldson and Baton Rouge tell of great excitement at those points, as ithe Arlington levee near the Louisi ana capital is thought to be in grave danger. Every able-bodied man, white or black, is being pressed into service and rushed to the dangtr point. In Vicksburg the tracks of the Yazoo & Mississippi and the Ala bama Vicksburg railroads are im perilled by the rising waters. Boston, March 14.—The flood situa tion in the parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire traversed by the Merrimac river again lias become dan gerous. At Haverhill and Lowell, Mass., and Concord, N. 11., the river is running at flood height and still rising. At Nashua, N. 11., the Nashua river is threatening damage to prop erty along its banks. THE SIGNS ARE GOOD. Everyllilns Points to a Very Brisk Spring and Summer Trade. New York, March 14. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Reports from all sections of the country promise a brisk spring and summer trade. Grdeirs are coming forward on a large scale, and fre quent requests for prompt shipment indicate that stocks are low and reA quirements urgent. The statement has been made repeatedly of late that traffic blockades were ended, but as a matter of fact, the relief was in every case of a local nature, and almost im mediately followed by so much new business that congestion returned. At present the western shipments are fairly prompt, but freight is not com ing east in a satisfactory manner. Activity in building lines is so great as to 'occasion frequent comment. Bad weather retarded retail business at some points and floods added to the disturbed condition oif .the cotton market. Railway earnings continue to exceed previous years' figures, roads reporting for the first week of March showing a gain of 14.1 per cent, over last year. It is almost certain that railway construction will far exceed even last year's enormous figures, and similar conditions exist as to building and bridge operations. An erratic market for the raw ma terial, together 'With unfavorable weather, brings a decrease in sales of cotton goods. Only a fair de mand is reported for men's wear woolens and worsteds. Failures this week numbered 239 ift the United States, against 232 last year, and 22 in Canada, against 34 a year ago. Attempted Siilrldc. Manila, March 14.—Ilartlett Sin clair, treasurer of Rizal province, at tempted to commit suicide yesterday by taking poison in the office of the attorney general, when informed that the government intended to prosecute him for neglecting his office and per mitting 'the peculation of funds. Sin clair's books were found to be in a muddled state. The authorities had been investigating for months a shortage of several thousand, but it is not believed that Sinclair embez zled any money. Four of his subor dinates have been arretted on the churge of embe/./lement, t raxed by Trouble. Warsaw, Ind., March 14 Frank J.

Detroit, March 14.—'A special to the Free Press from Iron Mountain, Mich., says; Four men are known to have lost their lives and tour others are missing- as the result of one of the worst fatalities of recent years in the mining region. The men were drowned by a rush of water which flooded the level in which they were working. The acci dent occurred in the fourth level of the crosscut in the Millie mine and was caused by the men working through ,the wall of their level into another level, an old working which, had been flooded, the water sweep ing through the break and drowning the men like rat.sin a trap. Twelve miners were at work in the fourth level, but four managed to escape. The known dead: Henry Jaeger. Capt. .Tames Williams. John Davey. John Ilichards. The names of the other four miss ing have not been ascertained. One body, that of Henry Jaeger, has been recovered. Pontiac, 111., March 14.—Three men were killed and 14 were severely in jured Thursday night by an explosion of firedamp in the mines of the Car diff Coal Co. The dead are John Mc- Closky, Joseph Iluett and Zrei Azofi no. Miners at the mouth of the shaft were awakened by ithe explosion and rescued the injured and removed the dead bodies from the mine. Some of the injured may die. A CENSUS BULLETIN. It Treat* of the ideographical Itlstrl tMitlon of Our Population. Washington, March 14. —The census bureau has issued a bulletin on the geographical distribution of popula tion in the United States. It shows that almost 9G per cent, of.the total population lives in the country drained by the Atlantic ocean; over 53 per cent, in that drained by the Gulf <*f Mexico; 44 per cent, in the drainage area of the Mississippi river; almost 10 per cent, in the area drained by the great lakes, 4 per cent, on the Pacific coasit, and half of one per cent, in the great basin. The proportion living within ,the re gion drained by the Atlantic ocean is steadily diminishing, while the part drained by the Gulf of Mexico is be coming relatively more populous, as is the case, in a still more marked degree, in the great basin and the Pacific ocean region. Of the foreign bo#n 93 per cent, live in the region drained by the Gulf of Mexico and 15 per cent, in that drained by the great lakes. Out of every 1,000 negroes, 908 are found in the regions drained by the Atlantic ocean and 61.4 per cent, are in the lands drained by the Gulf of Mexico, ANOTHER INJUNCTION. Judue Phillips Again lioea Alter the Kaunas City Teamsters. Kansas City, March 14.—Judge John F. Phillips, in the United States dis trict court Friday afternoon issued a sweeping injunction restraining all members of the local Team Drivers* International union from interfering with the business of 11 of the trans fer companies of the city, whose men are on a strike. The 11 companies petitioned the court to restrain the strikers and their sympathizers on the ground that interference with wagons on the way to ithe depots and shipping yards is in violation of the inter-state commerce laws. Ten strikers were arrested for ston ing a driver and blockading the thor oughfare and it became necessary for the police to disperse the crowd, •but no one was hurt. Later as many more men were arwested for obstruct ing the sidewalks and a charge of dis turbing the peace was placed against them. The leaders of the strike as sert that they are gaining strength and that other trades will go out in their support if the transfer men shall not surrender soon. COGHLANS SQUADRON, It Will <.«> to Honduras to I'roteet American Interests. Washington, .March 14. —The Carib bean squadron under command of Ad miral Coghlan has been ordered to Honduras, where the revolution is as suming serious firoportions, to pro tect American interests. Late Friday afternoon Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling sent the following cable instructions 'to Admiral Coghlan at San Juan: , "Proceed with squadron, Olynipla, Panther, Marietta, Vixen (and Brutus collier) protection American interests Puerto Cortez and Ceiba, Honduras. Communicate with minister. Author ized to leave Vixen (tender) under commandant at San Juan."
