POUT TOWNSKNIl, Wash., Aug. 20.
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. II, when ucnriiig
the simtliwest cml nf iiiikIiiss island at
11. in., Anc l.'i, it ii. 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. The fatal berg was,
no doubt, even with Ihc water. Aft
File struck 1 stopped the engines, when
Captain 1'iiotc appeared with the night
watchman who reported the ship leal;
Ing forward,
"I told Captain Finite that we hud bet
ter head for the bench, but he demurred
and when he decided to i'ii so the ship
was taking water fast and would not
answer her helm. 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

dust, amounting in value to flli.i""',
grasped lirmly in his hands jumped from
the sinking steamer to the iMiat close by

CORNERING APPLE MARKET
lliiyera Hurrying tu Maryland to Secure
the Orclinnl rroilliets.
IIACF.KSTOWN, .Mil.. 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.

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. Fifty more were taken on
there vestcrdav. bringing the total force
up to IV Mt. It was claimed that there
were 21 si men nt work in the rainier
mills and that oO of thciii were skilled.
The greatest light in this district I
for ninsterv at the Iuiti -sue mills of tl.e
Carnegie company. Both sides are work
Ing secrctlv. the Amalgamated associa
tion to xtciid its organization nml it
strength among the workers nnd the
steel company to block any plan to get
the men out.
Contorting Clulm. Made.
Neither side has shown its strength yet
and it is impossible to get any hue on
the ultimate result. 1 he chums maili
privately on cither side are conllietlng.
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. I igne re
turned from the West yesterday and wns
closeted for several hours with President
Shaffer. lie was given n very enthus
iastic reception bv his associates and re
turns a sronger figure in the nrgnnlzu
tlon than when he departed. 1 lisciissing
hi report Mr. Shaffer said:
All t hut Mr. Ttghe told me wn in
the miners last week and there is noth
ing aside from this. The Chicago mill
men who remained nt work are now
no loiwrer member of the organization
Thcv are not entitled to n trial and will
have i '. They are at hl,-tiy to tie
as thcv see lit now. but if they go out
they will do so on their own respoiisiint
Itv We will do nothing about the mat
h-p from this time.
"On the wlndo. the strike is going on
verv well. We are getting out inon
every dav and will continue to do so.
The light is not hardly s-gun yet. 1 her"
will be plenty nf trouble for the trust ne-
fore long if they keep on iu their present
course. There has been no effort on any
one's part toward pence and there will
be tuiiie on our part ugnin. .as in ine
situnTioii In Pimuesno. nil I can say
that there has hi-cn no strike ordered In
that mill ns yet. 1 said last week that
when we were ready that mill would he
