The steamer (Jm'ii luis just arrived fiuui the iiorlli, hringing news of one ot Ihc most appalling iiiaiine disaster on the Pacific const. Tin' steamer Islander, which sailed from Skyway, Auu.

I running at full speed, struck a Heating icclierg and iu than 2' mi n lit i-x went to the bot tom o( the deep cliatiiiel, can'.ving men, women atitl children to watery graves. The Islander had IDS passengers and nil were in bed when the vessel struck. The shock was so severe that many were thrown from their berths mid the wildest excitement prevailed. Word was soon passed that the vessel was iIimiiiiciI and a general scramble for the lifeboats en sued, ninny jumping overboard and ut tempting to swim ashore, the distance being short. In the scramble to get into the boats many were hulled headlong into the chilly water which, according to pas sengers arriving from the scene, seemed nlive wilh human beings. Before all the passengers had It ft the vessel she gave a lurch uml went down, bow lirst. It ia known that IJT lives were lost. It will lc some time before the names enn be definitely learned n the purser lost his passenger list. Passengers and nirinhcrs of the crew of the steamer Islander who hnvo ar rived here agree that the loss of life by the dis.isier will amount to (si, but they iiihnit that I here were probably five or more stowinvys on the steamer and that the live children known to have been en board were either drowni-d or died of exposure. n it is possible the loss of life will reach over 70. I'llol'a story. Pilot I.cblanc, who had charge of the tcamcr at the time she struck, says: "The night was tine, and as we always expect to meet lee a sharp lookout was kept. About 2:-lS n. m.. the crash runic. Tin boat was under full spoiil and no Ice was iu sight and there was no fog, but the wind was Mowing nml H was dark mid cloudy.

Then I called the mate n ml ordered the bouts out. This was done nnd they were loaded with pas sengers. Many passengers jumped over board wilh life preservers on. I jumped overboard and was In the water two hours nnd n ouarter before sixuring a piece of wreckage." The pilot also said that tunny of the men acted hnilly, attempting to jump into the boats before they had been hiiim-licd. rind it not I u for this crowding aim rushing he believe 1 nil would have liecu saved, with the pos rible exception of those who did not get out of their staterooms. The crew, on the other hand, he havi'd splendidly and looked to the safety of the imssisigers. After the liouts nail been launched the crew turned their at tention to the rafts hut these were also rushed and after they had been launched some of the crew had to swim for wreck' age as thife were too many on tin rafts. lie believe the vessel sank in CS fathoms and that the lsiilcr did not explode, thnt the woodwork was carried awny by a rush of water ami air. A number of passengers tell thrilling stories of tluir experiences during tin disaster to the Islander. Left (lolil llelilml lo Suva Ills l ife. A. ltrumbatier of Portland, who was bringing out a satchel which contained $14.mk in Klondike gold, rushed up to the upper deck when the bout was set tling by the head il Captain Foote told him thnt there was little danger. Soon there was a rush for the boats and when he was hoarding the life boat he was af rti il to throw his satchel of gold from the disk into the boat before slid ing down into a place for fear that the gold would rtove n hole through the bottom of the lifeboat and thus cause the loss of the lives of those who were In the boat as well as losing his own chance of safety. lie concluded to abandon his gold, and dropping the sat ehel on the deck he slid down into the water and was hauled to the boat, thank' fill to have his life saved though he lost his utiltl. Sos Slarten, from Wiunepeg, nlso dropped n satchel with .?l,ixi gold in it anil escaped lo tell the story, while one man who had just conic out from the Klondike, whose name could not lie learned, is reported to have taken his portmanteau from the care of Purser Itishop uiel with his gup containing I Me dust, amounting in value to flli.i""', grasped lirmly in his hands jumped from the sinking steamer to the iMiat close by and fuiling to reach the bout, he went down with his treasure.

Aug. l'J.-The opinion prevails among rruit growers in this region that the big city linns are endeavoring to secure a corner on the apple market, and they are struggling between the tempting otters being inane for the product of their oicharils and a desire to hold off a 111 lie longer before selling. They are mindful of the apple corner of two years ago. anil think that by wait ing until later they can get more money for their fruit. liepreseiitativcs ot city lirms arc swarming over the country and this entire fruit hell, buying whole oich arils of apple and peaches. 1 hey say that apples especially will be high this winter. The crop is not so large cl where as through this section, ami for this reason the linns are desirous of pre paring for the winter trade. From $1.7."i to t- a barrel is being paid for apples in the orchard, the firms agreeing to pick and pack the fruit for shipment. Thousands of barrels have been bought at these prices through this region within the last two weeks. MOLTEN METAL FLEW. Thro Men Meet Awful lirntlia In Ohio Meet rianl. Yor.NUSTnWX. O.. Aug. IU.

TRUST OPENS MORE MILLS Steel I'lunt at Muneaaeu Kesiunea With Non-t'iilon Men Other (iallia Made, PlT'ISHt'Itt, Aug. 20. The Vuitod Sates Steel corporation made a series of gains yesterday in the restoration of properties crippled by the strike of the Amalgamated association nnd it syiu pathizers. The steel mills at .Monesscu. after u low period of inactivity, were partly put iu motion by strike breakers gathered iu some of the Southern stall's. two more mills iu the Painter plant were started up and another large mill at the Clark property was also operated fur tin first time. There was some disorder in the streets of Mniicsscii during the day hut the hs'nl police never lost control of the demon- strative crowds and there was no seri ous trouble. The reopening of the Monessen mill is believed to be the first of a series of aggressive movements on the part of the steel corporation. Preparation are known to be in progress for reopening the Star tin mills in this city and for Increasing, the force at the Lindsay and McCutehoon mills and it is thought to he only a matter of time before the strongholds of the strikers, like New- Cast e. MeKeesport, Wheeling. Ibdhiiri hnd Mingo Junction, will Is- invaded. The strikers deny that any real pro gress has been minle at cither Monessen or Painters and say that they arc not to be frightemsl by the burning of a lot of coal and the mere operation or inn diinerv. Thcv say that skilled men can not be secured outside of their ranks anil that none of their men at e desert ing. de spite claims to the contrary. Ihc man ngcrs of the Painter mills, which now have four mills on. claim that putt of lu.lp two new crews is made up of old einnlovc who have come back to work At the Chirk mill, where tne unncn mill was started for the first time yes- terdav and where everthmg except small S-inch mill is now being operated It is asserted that re skilled in ire offering their services than can Is- ac commodated.

The Amalgamated organizers assert they have secured a strong position iu the nronertv and that when the word is given it will lie shut down. The manager nf the mills admit that the strikers have some friend in the mills but express absolute confidence in their nbilitv t keep the entire plant in operation. Coal and Iron police carefully guard the prop erty, admitting none except employe and they in turn arc watched by sci re pickets of the strikers. Assistant Secretary M. r.
