t BIG WAVE ENGULFS LINER Five Steerage Passengers Are Swept Overboard AND MANY OTHERS ARE INJURED. Tho Disaster Cams Unexpectedly, When the Decka Wtr Filled With Merrymaker A Big Wava Suddenly Swept Over the Sblp, Completely Corerlof the Lower Deck end Rlilog Wnlstblgh on Upper Deck. New York, (Special). Five lives art known to have been lost and more than 31 persons injured, one of them fatally, on the Cunard Line steamer Campania when a gigantic wave rolled over the steamer and swept across a deck thick with steerage passengers. So sudden was the coming of the dis aster and so great the confusion which attended and followed it that even the officers of the steamer themselves were unable upon the vessel's arrival here to estimate the full extent of the tragedy. John Graham, of Milwaukee, was one of the passengers washed overboard and lost. He was traveling in the steerage. The others who are known to have lost their lives are Margaret Geary, Mary Cosgrove, Niels Ekberg and Elizabeth Grunadotter. When the Campania reached quaran tine 10 of the injured passengers were still in the ship's hospital, some of them seriously hurt, and a score of others were nursing minor injuries. The Campania was plowing along under full headway last Wednesday aft ernoon. A heavy quartering sea was running, but the weather conditions were far from unpleasant, and the big boat's decks were crowded with passengers. The steerage deck was covered with merrymakers, and there was nothing to indicate the approaching disaster, when suddenly the big steamer lurched to port and scooped up an enormous sea. f he wave boarded the steamer about mid ships on the port side, and swept clear across the steerage deck, completely fill ing the space between that deck and the deck above, and carrying everything with it. The steamer's side was buried so deep that the passengers on the deck above the steerage were submerged to their waists as the immense volume of water rolled aft and then surged for ward. All the cabin passengers on the upper deck succeeded in clinging to supports, while the waters surged around them, and were saved, but the unfortunates on the steerage deck found themselves utterly helpless. The irresistible rush of waters, sweeping toward the forward part of the ship, carried everything be fore it. Nottings, heavy railings and other obstructions which had been ar ranged near the railings to prevent pas sengers being washed overboard, served their purpose only in part. MIKADO AND CZAR SIGN. Peace Treaty Effective and Wir Formally Eodef.' Washington, D. C, (Special). The Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of Japan Saturday morning signed their respective copies of the peace treaty, thus officially ending the war. Baron Kosen, the Russian ambassa dor, called at the State Department and saw Secretary Root. While he had no official advices on the subject, informa tion had reached him to the effect that the Emperor of Russia had early in the day affixed his signature to the copy of the treaty drawn at Portsmouth and engrossed on vellum at St. Petersburg. It was not necessary for the Ambas sador to convey this information official ly to the State Department, for, accord ing to the plan arranged the Russian Foreign Office was to advise the French government of the act of signature, and that government in turn was to advise the Japanese government. Mr. Takahira appeared at the State Department with a message stating that the Emperor of Japan had signed the treaty at Tokio. A cablegram was im mediately dispatched to Spencer Eddy, charge of the American embassy at St. Petersburg, who was instructed to in form the Russian Foreign Office that the Emperor of Japan had performed his part, and both copies of the treaty having been duly signed, and each of the great nations lately engaged in hos tilities, having been officially informed of the fact, the Russo-Japanese war which began February 8, 1904, with the attack of Togo's fleet upon the Rus sian ships at Port Arthur terminated officially October 14. Little remains to be done to meet the official requirements. At a later date probably in the course of a month or liurt rifjipc f thf r.fitijc -mill t,a tually exchanged, probably in Washing ton by the Russian ambassador and the T . . Japanese minister or cnarge, lor it is possible that Minister Takahira will be fore that occurrence have gone to Japan on a leave of absence. .There is nothing for this government to do in the way of proclamation. The Aurora, Jcmtchug and the Oleg, constituting Admiral Enquist's squadron at Manila, and the Lena, at Mare Is land, which have been interned for months, may probably now be released whenever the Russian government sees fit to make the request, though, as it is understood, the ships have been under going extensive repairs to make them seaworthy, it may be sometime yet be fore they are ready to sail.

DIED SHORTLY AFTER A PERFORMANCE Only n Hoar Before H Wit Strlckeo lbs Fioous Aclor Wat Playing af a Tbester la Bradford, Eng. His Rlst sod Success as One ol Ibt World's Ortatesl Actors Mis Hamlet tod Other Roles. London, (By Cable). The English speaking world has suffered an irrepar able loss by the sudden death of Sir Henry Irving, who was universally re garded as the most representative Eng lish actor of contemporary times. Sir Henry died literally in harness. He was giving a series of farewell per formances in the English provinces, and was playing an engagement at Bradford, appearing in several favorite roles. Friday night, before an enthusiastic audience, he portrayed one of his most characteristically intellectual parts the title role in his own stage adaptation of Lord Tennyson's "Becket" with marked success. After the performance Sir Henry re turned to his hotel, reaching his rooms at 11.30 o'clock, when it was observed that he was in great pain. Physicians were immediately sum moned, but before they could arrive Sir Henry was seized with an attack of syncope and expired within a few min utes, without having uttered a word, in the presence of Bram Stoker, who had been his immediate manager for many years, and a few other intimate friends. The event caused the greatest pain and consternation among the members of the company. To the last moment of his life Sir Henry Irving's heart was in the work to which he had devoted his career: the raising of the standard of his art. On Wednesday he was entertained at lunch eon in the Bradford town hall, at which the mayor presented him an address from his admirers. In replying to the address Sir Henry spoke of himself as one, the sands of whose life were fast running out, but no one then present had the slightest idea that the end would come so soon. He proceeded in his reply to eloquently ad vocate the establishment of theaters by municipalities, "because," he said, "I lieve that by this means the standard of the true drama, as distinguished from miscellaneous entertainments, would be successfully upheld." "Money is spent like water for all kinds of philanthropic and educational objects," he continued, "but who among you ever dreams of endowing the thea ter? I am sure the time will come when you will regard the theater as necessary to a liberal education and be prepared to consider any reasonable suggestions for the extension of its legitimate influence. It may be that in years to come our countrymen will scarcely undersiand how in our times so potent an inslru ment of good or.ill as the stage was left entirely outside the sphere of public ad ministration." 1 Sir Henry's last appearances in Lon don were made last summer, following his serious illness, when the enthusiasm at the nightly receptions accorded him in the historic Drury Lane Theater will long be remembered. Since then he has been engaged in touring the provinces and contemplated another visit to the tinted states. COW CAUSES FIVE DEATHS. Lies Down on Rillroid aod Throws Engine Off Trick. Oskaloosa, la., (Special).

The animal w.fs crushed under the wheels of the pilot truck and rolled along the ties for loo feet. The ani mal's blood made the rails slippery, and pieces of Ixme threw the front locomo tive from the track. The derailed loco motive pitched down an embankment, drawing the second engine into the ditch, where the two machines piled up, crushing the engineers and the firemen. The wreckage caught fire from the live coals of the engines. The conductor and rear brakemen, wilh persons who lived near the wreck, hastily took the mangled bodies of the trainmen from the burning debris and saved the rest of the train from the flames.

Ttll the Police of Hearing Soiiuds ol Cracking Bones aod the Falling ol Pieces ol Ibe Carcass, as Human Butcber Proceeds la His Work Whit Tbey Siw Through the Glass la tbt Partition Door. New York, (Special). One of the most shocking crimes that it has ever de volved upon the police of this city to investigate was committed early in the morning, when a man was shot and killed in a little room on the top floor of 149 Third avenue, and his body cut up by his murderer, who evidently had the idea that he could in this way hide his crime. The murdered man was Tom Corco ran, who was up to a few weeks ago a ticket-chopper on the Third Avenue Railroad. Jacob Frederick Bauer, an elevator man at the Union Square Hotel, is the man believed by the police to be the murderer. He is said to be a de generate, and it was in his room that the murder and dismemberment of the body were perpetrated. Despite the fact that the evidence against Bauer is most convincing, the latter, caught almost red-handed, per sisted in denying his guilt all day to the authorities. He told a silly story of three other men being in his room, and of his being entirely unaware that it had been the scene of such a crime until he got up in the morning and slipped on the blood on the floor. Bauer was committed to the Tombs by Coroner Scholer, charged with murder, after he had again refused to confess that it was he who had murdered Corcoran and cut up his body. Bauer is a native of Wurtembnrg, Ger many. He has a low, retreating fore head and is marked as a degenerate. He is about 40 years old. stooo-shouldcred and repufsive in appearance. He has been in this country 13 years, and for six years has been employed at the Union Square Hotel. He performed his duties there well, and the proprietor of the hotel was the most astonished man on earth to hear that he had been charged with such a crime. The police, however, were not surprised. They have run across Bauer before, as one of the type that hang about Third avenue. Two months ago he complained that he" had been held up and robbed. One of the things he was robbed of was a gold bracelet, which he wore as an or nament on his wrist. Bauer has roomed for two vears in the little three-story building at 140 Third avenue. The rooms are let to men by a Mrs. fcchreiber. Just where Bauer met Corcoran is not known. Corcoran, who was 27 years old, was a well-built man. SIX MINERS IN A BLAZING PIT. An Engineer and Another Killed By An Explosion. Brownsville, Pa., (Special). At 1.30 o'clock in the afternoon there occurred at the Clyde Coal Company's mines, seven miles from this point, a mine fire, Followed by several explosions. There were in the mine at the time about 100 men, and all but eight escaped alive. Two were killed outright, and the re maining six can hardly be reached alive, as tney are surrounded by ttames. The trouble was caused by a broken electric light wire. The woodwork in one of the five connecting mines caught fire, and Engineer Woods, with Robert Virgin, started into the mine to investi gate. A series of sharp explosions then followed, which killed the two explorers. Their bodies were burned to a crisp when recovered. Most of the miners escaped by the different exits, but the six named were working in rooms about 1,500 feet from the entrance and were so located thai they could not reach a place of safety. The families of the imprisoned men stood around the mine entrance, but it was announced that there was little hope of getting to the men. Two rescue parties were formed dur ing the evening, each party numbering six men, but they could not get far into the mine on account of the fire and foul air. Assistance has been asked from surrounding mines, and it is thought the entombed men will be reached by day- oreaK, mougn mere is little hope of finding them alive. Judge Asked to Resign.

Without showing the slighest effect of the severe ordeal through which he had gone, Herman Frank, a druggist, 1272 Broadway, appeared at his place of busi ness, despite the fact that the night be fore a cyst that had eaten into his brain and was endangering his life had been removed by' the most delicate of opera tions. Frank has a slight scar over his right eye, and in a glass tube is the un broken cyst that had so long threatened his life. The sack was removed without being punctured by Dr. E. A. Robinson of 52 West Thirty-eighth street, and the patient submitted to the entire operation, lasting more than an hour, without tak ing an anaesthetic. He even sat before a mirror so placed that he could see what was going on, hoping the interest he would take might help to ally the agony, .o ,? J0 Because his wooden leg made such a noise that it disturbed the other tenants, Andrew Gerison, a Union veteran, was before the Second Criminal Court in Jer sey City on complaint of his landlord, Edward Sell, who said he had appealed in vain to Gerison, who comes home late, to do less thumping with the wooden leg. Gerison began to recount to Judge Man ning in minute detail his part in the Civil War and could not be repressed. He was finally led to the clerk's desk and signed a bond to keep the peace. j j& Hiaso Sota, a little 95-pound Japanese woman, who caused the arrest of J. F. McCullum, an athlete and sparring part ner of "Terry" McGovern, after she by jiu jitsu had thrown him flat twice on the sidewalk on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, proved that the Jap anese art of self-defense was no idle fad by demonstrating in the Harlem Court just how she had floored McCullum. Miss Sota appeared in court accompa nied by Koyta Yoshmure, an interpreter. To satisfy the court, she threw her in terpreter twice. & & Uncertainty surrounds the identity of a young woman who died at the Post- Graduate Hospital, on Second avenue. According to the brief announcement made by the hospial authorities, the dead woman is "Mrs. Francis, of Long Branch, N. J" But a telegraphic mes sage received from Long Branch tells of the sudden death at this hospital of Miss Edith Van Nate, the promised wife of Seymour Francis, son of Senator Asa rrancis, Mayor of Long Branch. Miss Edith Van Nate, or Mrs. Francis, as the case may be, was the daughter of Calvin G. Van Nate, a wealthy coal dealer of Long Branch. She was 20 years old and a graduate of the Crattle High School in the class of 1903. j0 r Gastano Costa, a butcher, 40 years old. was murdered in his shop, on Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. Costa was alone in his shop when the murderers entered, and no witnesses to the killing have been found. Two men standing near the en trance to the shop heard shots and saw four men escape into the street. An examination of the body showed four bullet wounds. The murder is believed by officers to be the work of the "Black Hand." No arrests have been made. je j& j& The will of Miss Mary Irene Hoyt shows that she carried to the grave a family feud that began nearly a quarter of a century ago. Of her personal es tate, estimated at more than $1,000,000. her relatives will get not a penny un less they break her will. Miss Hovt died about three weeks ago at her home, 305 West Seventy-second street, leaving practically all of her large fortune to Maria Garnick, her companion for nearly 20 years. Miss Hoyt had the income from $1,250,000 left in trust for her by her father, Jesse Hoyt, the bank er, in 1882. The family feud arose over the distribution of the banker's estate of $7,000,000. After all the state courts had decided against Miss Hoyt, and she had to accept the terms of her father's will, she announced that she would never again have any communication with her relatives. Sadie Mirsky was unwillingly the chief witness in the Manhattan Avenue Police Court, Brooklyn, against Samuel Strauss, a young man, whose bride she had hoped ere this to be. Through her testimony Strauss was held for exam ination on a charge of having forged a check in the' name of Sadie's father, Mycr Mirsky, for $250, with which the young people were to have fled to Phil adelphia to get married. LUKE WRIGHT RESIQNS. Administration Sold fo Bo Dissatisfied With His Governor Generalship. Washington, D. C, (Special). By reason of what appears to be dissatis faction with the situation in the Philip pines, Luke E. Wright, governor general of-the Philippine Commission, will retire about the first of December. General Wright is expected to arrive in the United States during that month, and is entitled to six months' leave of absence prior to the formal relinquish ment of his labors as Governor General. It is understood that he expects to re turn to Nashville, Tennv, to resume the practice of law. President Roosevelt and . Secretary Taft, it is believed, practically have de cided upon the successox to General Wright, but no intimation has been per mitted to become public as to his ident ity.

FIVE KILLED IN MUTINY" Captain Was Among the Victims of the Plot COLORED MEN WERE IN CONTROL Four-msittd Schooner Hnrry A. Berwln, Bonnd From Mobile, Ala., fo Philadelphia, Seen of Mutiny Thret Negroes All Thnl Re mnlned of Crew Cnptured and Tskei lo Somhporf, N. C. Southport, N. C, (Special). Captain Rumilt and four of his crew of the four-' masted schooner Harry A, Bcrwind were murdered in a mutiny while the vessel Was hntltld frnm Mnliil tn Phi1flli-1nhin The schooner Blanche M. King, Capt.' . W. laylor, bound from Brunswick, Ga., to Philadelphia, put in Southport, bringing in irons three negroes, all that remained of the crew of the Harry A. Berwind. The captain, mate, cook and an engineer, who did hoisting work about the latter vessel, apparently had been killed in the mutiny and their bodies thrown overboard. The body of a fourth sailor, a negro, was found lying on the deck, where he too had been killed. The Harry A. Berwind was bound to Philadelphia from Mobile, which port the vessel left September 23 early Wednes day morning. She was sighted 30 miles off the Cape Fear bar by Captain Taylor, whose attention was attracted by the reckless manner in which the ill-fated vessel was being steered, her course threatening to run down his own vessel. Captain Taylor and crew boarded the vessel and placed the negroes in irons, bringing the two vessels off the bar, when one of them was towed in by Wil mington tugs. The Berwind being from a territory against which this city is quarantined for yellow fever, the three negroes taken from her are held at quarantine until ar rangements can be made for their de tention by the federal authorities. It develops from the stories of the negroes brought in irons by the King that the mutiny arose as the result of a quarrel aboard ship early Tuesday morn ing about the coffee made for breakfast. The King was signaled by the Berwind, 30 miles east of Frying Pan Lightship, and in response to a signal Captain Tay lor sent his mate, engineer and others on board the Berwind. The decks of the schooner were crim son with the blood, giving evidence of a fierce encounter. The berth of the mate was spotted with blood, indicating that he was butchered in bed. After the boarding party from the King handcuffing the mutineers on the ship, one of the negroes complained the irons were too tight and hurt him. The bracelet on the negro's arm was loosened, when the captive whipped out a pistol and shot one of his own crew. The total list of killed is four whites and one negro, the names of none of whom can be learned. The King left a prize crew aboard the Berwind. MARKEL LOSES BIG CONTRACT. Panama Canal Commission Annuls Agree ment Panama, (By Cable). The last action of the Panama Canal Commission before sailing from Colon for New York was the annulment of the contract awarded to J. E. Markel, of Omaha, Neb., for feed ing and caring for the employes of the canal. The reason for this action is that Chief Engineer Stevens, through the de partment of materials and supplies, under Messrs. Jackson and Smith, is handling the commissaries successfully, rendering unnecessary the arrangement with Mr. Markel. Protests made by the employes against the arrangement, it is believed, also in fluenced the decision. , The contract with Mr. Markel was to run five years, and it was estimated it would involve $50,000,000.
