Special Dispatch to Tbe Star. NORFOLK. Va.t August 17.?At least two victims are reported dead as the result of one of the most serious yachting' accidents that has occurred on the North Carolina coast in years, in which the yacht Edna May, while cruising between Manteo and Nag's Head, was completely destroyed by lire. The survivors of her passengers and crew wer? saved only by the chance arrival of a passing sailboat. The Edna May was a large gasoline motor boat She was used for cruising about the waters of the sound. At the time of the accident there was a pleasure party of several persons aboard. The weather was lair, ttnu n was nncnucu w ? run from Manteo to Nile's Head, where the party expected to spend a part of the evening. Leaking Gasoline Vapor Explodes. The accident was due, as nearly as can be ascertained, to leaking gasoline generating vapor, which exploded and set lire to the hull of the boat. At 9 o'clock last night the boat was running smoothly, when Edward Smith, the deckhand, was noticed by several of the passengers to be trying to do something to the motor mechanism. When asked what he was about he called bock to those in the stern that there seemed to be a leak in the gasoline feed pipe. Only a rew irinuies iu.u;r lucre viaa n . flash of blinding' brightness and all those I in the bout were showered with flaming I particles of gasoline. Smith alone escaped the flames, as he was crouching In front of the motor at the moment and was protected by it from the explosion. Girl Plunges Overboard. Miss Cora Mldgett was the member of the party seated nearest the exploding1 gasj& ollne. The gasoline set her clothing on fire. While the other members of the f party were throwing water on themselves f and otherwise trying to keep from getting1 ? burtjed, Miss Midgett, not noticed to be in ? worse plight than her companions, received 110 assistance. She ra.n, crying for help, f to the stern and plunged overboard, ap? parently to relieve her suffering. i Almost at the same time, and before those on board could do anything to rescue Miss Mtdgett, the flames sprang up over the whole length of the hull. Members of the party were compelled to give up attempts to save her In order to keep the fire away from themselves. As they worked with a couple of buckets and straw hats, and whatever was at hand, trying to check the blaze, they saw her sink before their eyes. The deckhand, who was forward, attempted to stifle the flames with his shirt, after dipping it overboard. He was so badly burned about the arms and face that, although he was rescued, he is not expected to live. Negro Rescues Party. The party had taken refuge in the exk treme stern by the time help arrived. A small salllioat was rtin out by a neCTO. to the wreck and the party aboard was taken off barely In time. It was scarcely five minutes from the time that the explosion rwrurred until the rescue, hut the hoat > only burned a 9liort time longer before the ' flames got down to the water's edge, and o the wreck sank. r There was some delay In getting medical aid tor tho rescued, all of whom were more or less seriously burned. FOREIGNERS OPPOSE REFORMS. This Time the Chinese Are Not a Bit Backward. An unexpected result of the anti-opium crusade In China has been the friction engendered between the Chinese authorities and the humanitarians who have been working with them to stamp out the practice of opium smoking on the one hand, and the residents and business Interests In the wealthy foreign concessions in the open port cities of the coast and rivers of China on the other. It appears that a considerable amount of money Is realised from the tax on the opium traffic and applied to the maintenance of the settlements. In the case of Shanghai, by far the most Important of the open ports, by treaty the receipts from the opium tax are set apart for the use of the Shanghai' conservancy, by which in meant the board that Is charged with the maintenance of the channel in the River Huangpu, through which passes the vast commerce of the city. Naturally the foreign element is ln. disposed to surrender this source of revenue , until another Is provided, Rnd it is held k that this can be accomplished only by i another treaty. Meanwhile the anti-opium * crusaders are loua in their demands that * the opium shops In the foreign quarter * shall l>e_ closed, as were those in the Chi' nese part of the city. ? "" * LAYSAN ISLAND GONEP ? j? ????? > Perhaps the Clever Skipper Got His , Reckonings Mixed. ' Government officials are Interested In a , story that comes from Honolulu to the ef? feet that Laysan Island has disappeared ' from the surface of the ocean, according to , a report brought to that place by the cap> tain of the schooner Luke C. Olsen. No ? official confirmation of the report, however, jicio icacucu >> asniUQiuii, tuiu in iiic auj sence of such advices the inclination la not to accept as correct the story of the Island's disappearance. "It frequently happens," said an official of the government today, "that skippers are entirely wrong in their reckoning, and as a matter of fact are distances from longitude and latitude which they report." l^aysan Island Is about 700 mi'les west by northwest of the Hawaiian Islands. The survey charts Indicate that It Is more or less Krass grown, an<l that In various places the land reaches an altitude of fifty-five feet above the sea level. As stated in the press dispatches. It Is inhabited, and the survey cnans snow mere is a miiu.ii luiiumg uock there and a tramway which extends over a portion of the Island. ! THIS LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS. More Shovels Purchased to Hurry ? Canal Digging. ? Steps for expeditinf? the excavating work J on the Panama canal, by the award of cont tracts for furnishing fourteen new steam ? shovels, have been taken by the isthmian canal commission. There are almost sixty fe shovels there now. so that the added num, ber will Increase the working excavatlnc t capacity about Sf? per cent. Deliveries of t these machines are to begin In sixty days ^ and be completed In 140 days. t The commission divided the contract, glvS Ir.g the award for furnishing seven of the E shovels to the Bucyrus Company of South jfc Milwaukee, Wis, at their bid of $0,080 fe each, and the award for furnishing the reft malning seven to the Marlon Steam Shovel P Company of Marion. Ohio, at their bid of f ?10.0:!7.o0 each. The object in dividing the ? award was to give an opportunity to test ? the merits of the Marion shovels, all those ? now irt use having been furnished by the ? Bucyrus Company. A contract for six unloader plows at $1,070 each has been awarded to the Marlon Shovel Companv. b . Cutter Manning Damaged. Capt.'

A fake check for $29,240,000 reached the Treasury yesterday In payment of the fine imposed by Judge Landls against the Standard Oil Company.

The check was No. (J742103 and was signed "Standard Oil Company, per J. D. Rockenfeller," the writer being careful to put in an "n" in the name. It was drawn upon the Second National Bank of Toledo.
