The Atlnnllo Transport Company's
steamer Mohegan, formerly the Cleo

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

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.

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.

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. A number of the chiefs Im
plicated have already been convicted.
The massacre of the missionaries grew
out of the rebellion of the natives
against the imposition of the hut tax.
The Insurgents burned the mission
houses and murdered a number of the
American missionaries, including Mr,
and Mrs. Cain and the Misses Archer,
Hatfield and Schenck of the United

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 American and Ppinhh peace
commissions closed their first two
weeks of labor at Paris last Saturday,
and the progress made has been chief
ly by negative action and the attitude
of the Americans.
The first article of the protocol pro
vided that "Spain will relinquish all
claim of sovereignty over and title to
Cuba." Naturally the Joint sessions
were devoted to the Cuban artlele of
the protocol. Naturally, too, the Amer
icans openeil their case by the assump
tion that little or no action was nec
essary regarding Cuba, on the ground
that Its disposition was definitely fixed
ny i no terms or ino protocol.
Whether the Americana decllnrrl an
Spanish obligation on account of Cuba,
nr ne In Paris save those who were
present, know. Whatever may have
iranspiren, wnetner the Spaniards
were or were not advised that the
United States declines to uiuma tha
Cuban debt, It may be distinctly said
that with such llarht as It nnw haa tha
United States commission will consist
ently and to the end refuse to assume
all or any part of the Cuban debt.
