The disaster occurred shortly after mid night, In latltute 0M south, longitude 2N20 west. The Prince Oscar, which was bound from Hhlelds, which port she loft May 27 for Iquique, laden with coal, was going at a clip ping gale on the port-taek before brisk wind, nnd with all canvnsa set.

The strnuger went over almost on ner beam ends as the Prince Oscar backed away from the rebound. As the crew of the Prince Oscnr stood peering through the darkness they saw the stranger partially right herself, nnd then she rnpldly began to sink. They listened In vain for soma signs of life, but not a cry for help nor a word of command came from the stricken vessel. In less tban four minute from the time she was struck the stranger keeled ever and plunged stern flrst Into the depths below. Captain Henderson, of the Price Oscar, wbo was below in his bertb, rushed on deck Just In time to discover tbat bla ship was also Inking.

I. lie boats wero ordered cut adrift, and tbe men were told to Jump and swim for their lives. They all went overboard, and with the ex ception of two unfortunates, reached the mall boats. Captain Henderson, wbo was the last man to leave the ship, went over In bit nlgbt garment, and swam fully two milet before he was picked up. Doth boats hover ed about tbe scene of the wreck until day light came In an effort to resnua the two mis ting members of the Prince Oscar't crew and any member of the orew ot tbe stranger who might have been fortunate enough to have kept afloat. They found no one, however, and nothing to Indicate the name, borne or destination of their companions In misfor tune. Finally they left the scene and beaded they knew not exactly where. Twenty-four hours Inter a heavy tea struck the boat commanded by Mate Lynch and capslred It. Tbe occu pants, eight In number, were thrown into the tea, and the already overcrowded eraft, which Captain Henderson commanded put quickly to the resone.

Following Is a letter from W. M. Upcraft, tinted nt Chung King, June, IN: "The present occupation of the mission aries in Chung King may be described as a permanent council ot war. As tho reports come It: from different pnrta n( the province we begin to understand how widespread and serious are the riots. So lar asenn be learn ed, not only Chengtu, but the entire western part of the province has been milled. "The annual festival of the fifth moon (May W) found a wltlly-seatlerod lorce of French, Americans and English in serene po-les-lon of the Held: yet before the feast had closed the central stronghold had fallen, and the mission premises nl Chengtu were devas tated, the resldenls prisoners In the yamen. Extravagant stories ot .chlld-eatlng, treasure-hunting, mutilation and other prac tices, absurd as false, are abroad, and sparks set the whole muss aflame. Beginning with the Canadian Methodists, and spread ing with diabolical Impartiality to Cath olic, China Inland and American Motbn dlst missions, the hntelul foreigner wat routed out, homes torn down, trees destroyed and tbe wholo town led in a wreck and ruin, the full tale of which will never he told. Having made such a aucoesa of their flrst raid, Klating, Chung Chow, Ynohow, Sullau, and many other placet were either looted or attempted, and a reign of terror was Inau gurated," A second letter from Dr. t'peraft, dated June 20, describes the sltuntlon further as follows: "Slowly the details of tbe riot In the west ern part ot Secbuen come tillering down to us here. Three separnte parlies ot refugee! have left for tbe coast, and Irout each of them we gather more knowledge ot the ex perience of these dnya. "When the mob Unit struck the Canadian Methodist p'ace In the northwest corner of Cbengtu, It was towards evening, ol the fifth month feast day. Stones weie,tised flrst, then the doors burst In nnd the rioters had possmion ot the outer yard. Two plucky Anglo Sniens stood off that yelling host and made them rtm, with the only show of resis tance possible, while messengers were sent to the yamen to urge the dilatory officials to Instant action, but In vain. The forcea of tear nnd custom both operate to prevent promptness, nnd to they waited until the mob gathered In nimbers and strength and Impetus, and the inadequate but heroic gar rison, snw their hopes ol tafety carried off by tbe flying hour.

Dun A Co., in tbelr weekly review lay: Business continues unusunuy active rot midsummer, and, although there It percop tible relaxation, tbere are no signs ot reac tion. The one ebtnge of great Importance which the past week bat brought It eminently helpful- the amicable settlement between coal miners nnd employers In Western Penn sylvania. Ohio and Indiana. It is said that about 100.000 men will bave their wages in creased after October 1, by this adjustment, and, while Ibe enlargement ol purchasing power It of consequence, It teems even more Important that a chronic cause of contro veey has been removed by tbe new agreement as to company stores. There Is no Important change In crop pres. peets, tnd at tbii tlmt no newt It eminently good Lews. Speculation bit been more successful In cotton tban in auy other product during the past week and baa II Ilea tne price an eigntb. Wheat has declined a fraction, vltb very acanly transactlona. The concerted with holding ol waeat oy western farmers, II con tinued, would, doubtless, affeot the prloe in tbe end, but It bat already stopped Atlantlo exports entirely. Corn tends to lower prices, wltb more encouraging prospects, and the expectation of a .heavy corn crop affects prices ol provisions, at might be expected. The Industries continue to make progress, and higher prices lor iron and ileal products prove that the supply has not yet outrun the demand. Bessemer iron it a shade weaker, but gray forge bat advanoed about 60 esnts, aid finished products are remarkably firm. Lake copper net advanced to 12 cents. Tin bis declined about l-4c, and il quoted at 14 20. Lead It a trifle ttrongar at t3 66. Tbe antbrtolte coal market It completely de moralised, and prices bave again yielded a little to about tbe lowest ever known. The sales of wool are not at much inflated by speculation as they were during the first ball of July, but they still considerably ex oeed the actual consumption In the maeufact nre.
