The Atlnnllo Transport Company's steamer Mohegan, formerly the Cleo pntia, of the Wilson and Furncss-Ley- land lino, which loft London for New York Inst Friday with fiO passengers and a crow nf lBrt, run ashore off the Llstird. between the Manacles. Of the passengers eleven have loon saved, ton bodies hnve boon recovered and thlrty-tliroo nre missing. Of the crow mid cattlemen, thirty nine have boon snved, fourteen bodies have boon recoverl and llfty-one nre missing. Since this statement wns Issued nine othor bodies hnve boon plekcd up, In cluding two that hnve boon Idontinod er those nf imMpnecn, The cause of IhoMllsiistcr rcmnlns the piofonndest mystery. Nobody attempts to explain how the Mohcgnn Rot no fur north of hor true course from fix to seven nil lea. There was no fug nt the time, while the wind on hor port qunrter was not sutllclcnt to prevent hor answering the holm. It hns boon suggested thnt her compass was faul- , ty; but dnyllght lasted long after Ed dystone IlKht was passed. The sailors nay the fact that the Llxard llRht was not visible should have served to give the alarm. The masts of the Mohegan, which are above water, show that her atern Is landward, causing a theory that the navigating otltcor, on discovering thnt he was In the bay. suddenly turned seaward. Two engineers who were aaved declare, however, that they never slackened speed. Robert Hnrrow, a senman, performed the foat of swimming unnldod through the roughest water to Coveraek Point, a distance of two and one-hnlf miles. He climbed up the ragged cliff, where a searching party found him early the next morning, completely exhausted, A. C. L. Smith of Oregon, a passenger, surrendered to a woman In the water wreckage that was supporting him and swam ashore unaided. The woman a saved. Her name Is reported as Miss Webb, but no auch name appears In the company a list. The crew. In a chivalrous effort to save the women, made the mistake of undermannlnR the boats. There were only four sailors In one boat, which capslsed as soon as It was launched From the best evidence obtainable at 8t. Keverlne, It appears that the Mohegan foundered five minutes after sne struck the rocks. She was going at full speed, struck twice, stopped and then rapidly settled Into the water. Dinner was ready and Capt. Griffiths was about to proceed to the saloon when a sudden crash made' it apparent that the steamer had gone ashore. The captain Immediately went on deck, and the survivors say they saw him on the bridge doing all that lay in the power of a brave man to lesson the disaster. It appears that when the Mohegan struck, a gale was blowing and the sea . was running hlRh. Lifeboats put off from the Lizard and from Falmouth, one returning filled with passengers. Several were drowned, however, It Is reported on the passage of the life boat to the shore. Another life boat saved six persons. The coast at that point Is extremely dangerous and has been the scene of numerous wrecks. Some years ago there was a movement set on foot to get a lightship placed there, but It failed. The commander of the Mohegan was Captain OrifTilhs, commodore of the Atlantic transport fleet. IN0L1HD THMI TO STAT. Vratw But Dm Faraa KtBtra tht British Tnm faWi The situation arising out of the ques tion between Great Britain and France as to the right of occupying Fashoda Is extremely grave. Everything hinges on the nature of the report of Major Marchand, the French commander at Fashoda, which Is now on Its way from Khartoum to Paris, thanks to the courtesy of the British government in permitting one of Marchand's officers to use the British lines of communica tion. The evacuation of Fashoda by the French must, however, take place It war between Great Britain and France Is to be averted, as the Marquis of Salisbury haa nailed his colors to the mast and cannot recede from the position he has taken up, in which he has received the unanimous support of the country. Om Banana Oattf. Castor Arntk One hundred African chiefs have been arrested and are awaiting trial at Free Town for the murder of American and other missionaries at Kwell, in May last.

The great ponce demonstration nt Chicago wns Innugurnted Inst Sunday tilRlit. President McKlnley fresh from his visit to the Nebraska Imposition and whose Journey hud been mnrked by one contlniinl round of ovations Which never failed to elicit a speech, arrived In the city Inst Hnturdny even ing. i no demonstration opened with a jounce of ThnnkHgivliig at the Audi torium. President McKlnley attended and listened to addresses by a Jewish rab bi, a Human Catholic priest, a Presby terian clergyman and a noted colored orator. The npplnuse for tho president wns terrllie, and at one tlmo he was compelled to rise In his box nnd res pond to tho frnntlc cheering of the aildlenee. Tho services, hoewvor, were of a religious chnrneter, nnd nt times the solemn silence of the vnst assemb lage wns much morn eloquent thnn the wildest nppmuso could bo. Enslly 12.000 people were In the great Auditorium, ami probably as many more weiy on the uutsldo unablo to obtain nilmlttnnee. , The first address wan bv ltabbl Kmll G. Illrwli, who brought out a great burst of enthuslnnm by a reference to President McKlnley. Dr. Hlrrch said: "We are proud that when war was Im minent the affairs nf the nation were In the hands of a man" -here Iir. Hlrsch's voice wns drowned by a great wave or nppiause; when he could be heard tho speaker finished his sen tence "a true American, one that loved peace, a worshiper of the Prince of l'onee." Loud cheers followed lir. Hlrsoh's statement of his sentiment" In reference to territorial ncuulKltlon. when ho said: "CnnstltiitlonnllHtn. not colonial dependency, must be the watchword of the war In relation to the countries delivered from Himnlsh rule." Rev. Dr. Thomns P. Ilndnett. a Cath olic clergyman, caught the fancy and applause of tho audience bv repeated references to Dewey. Samimon. Schley ana me rtougn Klders, and when he mentioned President McKlnley by name the people became ao demon strative that tho President was com pelled to rise In his box and bow hla acknowledgements. At the conclusion of his address Dr. Hodnett aroused much enthusiasm by a philippic against tne "growing Inlluence of mo nopoly and the cohesive power of un just corporations." One of the most stirring speeches of me evening was made bv Kov. Dr. John Henry Harrows, who took a firm stand In favor of the retention of the Philippines, which sentiment appeared to meet entirely the approbation of tho audience. Hooker T. Washington, tho colored orator, was tho last speaker. He said in part: "1 his country has been most fortun ate In her victories. She hns twice measured arms with Knglnnd nnd has won. rihe has met Ihe spirit of rebel lion within her own borders, anil wa victorious. She has mot tho nrnnd Spaniard, and he lies prostrate nt her reei. ah this is well, It is magnificent. nut tnere remains one other victory for America to win a victory as fnr rcaehlng and Important as any that haa occupied our army and navy. We have succeeded In every conflict except In the effort to connuer our selves in tne DIOttlnir out of racial nn judtces. In this presence and on this aus. plclous occasion I want to nresent the aeep gratitude of nearly ten millions of my people to our wise, patient and brave chief executive for the generous manner In which my race has been recognised during this conflict a rec ognition that has done more to blot out sectional and racial lines than any event alnce the dawn of our freedom." When Mr. Washington gave ttntvn. slon to these words the most Interest ing feature of the evening occurred. The audience rose and cheered to th.i echo, while President McKlnley, stand ing in nis dox, acknowledged by re peated bows the comnllment of the ml. ored orator. , President McKlnley nrobablv never received a more enthusiastic greeting than that which awaited him at the Omaha exposition grounds last Wed nesday. By far the greatest crowd In the big western show's history throng ed about the huge platform from which the president made hla address. Hardly one sentence wns spoken by him which did not evoke from the peo ple cheer upon cheer. After President Wattlea had Introduced the distin guished guest of the exposition. It was tuny nve minutes before the subsid ence of the applause permitted the president to begin speaking. The President loft Omaha laat Thursday and arrived In St. Louis Fri day.

The train continued to the stockade, the miners llrlng Into It nl Biting the route, and the negro nas.ien gers returning the lire.
