HUNDRED
DROWNED
Steamer Wrecked Off
French Coast
Misses Course In Storm
and Strikes Hocks
Indications Are That Only Six of the
Passengers and Crew Are Saved.
Many Bodies Washed
Ashore
By Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 19.— The Southwestern
Railway's cross-channel steamer Hilda
was wrecked this morning off St. Malo
on the north coast of France and It
is believed that. 100 or more of her pas
sengers and crew were drowned. The
Hilda left Southampton Frldny night
for St. Malo with considerably more
than 100 souls on board. Her passage
was greatly delayed by a fog in the
channel and when nearlng St. Malo
she ran Into a severe snowstorm, ap
parently missed her course and foun
dered on the rocks off Jardln llg.it
house, three mllps from St. Malo.
The company's steamer Ada, outward
bound lrom St. Malo, rescued three of
the passengers and one of the crew.
These are now on the way to South
ampton. There Is an unconfirmed
report that seventy had been saveJ.
The crew numbered twenty-six and
there were about 100 passengers, nil
Frenchmen, the majority being onion
dealers from St. Brleuc and neighbor
hood.
A telegram from St. Severan, ad
joining the town of St. Malo, gives
the few particulars yet available. The
Hilda was near St. Malo Saturday
morning. She struck the rooks ar 4
o'clock Sunday morning In the road
stead off the Island of Cezembre, having
missed the tide owing to bad weather
and fog.
The majority of the crew and passen
gers were asleep at the time. Two
boats were lowered, one of which, con
taining five men, arrived at St. Sev
eran. The second boat was picked up
empty at St. Cast, where thirteen bodies
were washed ashore. Tho top of the
Hilda's funnel and her mast are visi
ble at low tide, according to the tele
gram from St. Severan. ;«-•■- *
The Hilda was built at Glasgow In
1882 and registered 848 tons. She was
a. screw, steamer of iron . construction
and was 255 feet In length. \. .'.-."■■■':.■
The Southwestern Railway company
is as yet unable to give a list of the
Hilda's passengers, but they nay that
a score booked passage at stations be
tween London and Southampton and
that to the best of their knowledge
ninety-nine were drowned and only
six saved.
The company is still without reliablu
details as to how the disaster hap
pened. Its agents at St. Malo only
briefly reported: "The Ada has put
back and reports the Hilda is a total
wreck at Lesportes reef outside Jardin
lighthouse. The Ada's boats saved five
onion men and a seaman named Grln
ler out of the rigging. They appear to
be only survivors."
ENGLISH PEOPLE ON BOARD
It Is Feared That a Sister of Lord
Lanesborough Is Lost
By Associated Press.
ST. MALO, France, Nov. 19. — The ex
act number of lives lost on the Hilda
is unknown here. It is understood
there were about twenty first-class
passengers, including several English
people. Among the latter were Hon.
Mrs. Butler, sister-in-law of Lord
Lanesborough, and Col. Elllet. Though
it Is not certain that those wore actual
ly on board, they were expected to
travel by the Hilda and It is known that
all the flrst-class passengers were
drowned. . These passengers were Eng
lish officers and others who were com
ing to rejoin their families or to spend
(he season at St. Malo and Dlnard (op
posite St. Malo).
It appears to bo certain that only
six were saved, these being five onion
sellers and an English seaman named
Grlnler, and that the total on board,
including: the crew, numbered 100.
The delay in the arrival of the Hilda
at first- caused little anxiety, as there
was dreadful weather In the channel
and as every one had full confidence in
her captain, Gregory, an experienced
man, who was likely to exercise cau
tion in approaching the dangerous
coast of Brittany, which he had known
for thirty years The disaster was
first suspected through the washing
ashore of a body, and the port author
ities immediately sent out. a tug. It
was then learned that the Hilda was
wrecked on a treacherous reef close to
the Island of Cezambre (called Les
portes). She had apparently struck,
broken her back and Immediately sunk,
leaving no time to launch the boats.
The Jardln light is qultu close to the
spot.
Many bodies have been washed
ashore at different points, some wear-
Ing life belts. Six of the survivors, ac
cording to a report In circulation here
were rescued by the Ada from the rig
ging.

CROZIER'S REPORT ON
ARMS VERY VALUABLE
COPY WILL BE BENT TO EACH
OFFICER OF ARMY
Document Contains Interesting Infor
mation on Development of Modern
Guns and Suggestions Toward Im
proving Their Power and Durability
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.— The report
of Gen. William Crozler, chief of ord
nance, Is so replete with technical In
formation concerning the • arms and
armament of the United States army
that Lieut. Gen. ChafCee, chief of staff,
has recommended that a copy of It be
sent to each officer in the army. Gen.
Crozler presents some Interesting in
formation showing the growth of gun
construction; how it has advanced from
old style guns to meet the Improved
conditions In the manufacture of guns;
the growing increase in the thickness
of armor and the' improved ' powder
which is used for firing these guns. A
problem now confronts ordnance offi
cers on account of the wearing of. the
bore of the gun through the great ve
locity of the projectiles, with the re
sult that "after some fifty or sixty
rounds from large guns the rifling is so
worn away that the projectiles are no
longer given the motion of rotation
necessary to steadiness of flight and
inevitable loss of accuracy results. The
question whether the guns should not
be used at a power less than their
strength enables the realization of, In
order to diminish the erosion and in
crease the life, is being considered."
The report says:
"It must be remembered that in thus
using the guns at less power the energy
of the projectile is reduced by a sac
rifice of that quality which it loses
soonest in flight in any event, namely,
the velocity; and it must also be re
membered that it is quite possible to re
tain the superiority of the gun over
anything which it Is called upon to at
tack by using larger calibers for given
work and by building guns of larger
size than is now customary, experi
mental constructions, as well as theory
and natural foresight, having shown
that the present conventional maximum
need by no means be accepted as a
limit."
Gen. Crozler says that at the sug
gestion of the president further con
sideration by the general staff resulted
In the substitution of a knife for a
rod bayonet for the army rifles.. He
adds:
"In view of the instructions of the
president of the United States that the
utility of the design of the saber used
In our service be considered, the man
ufacture of the 20,000 sabers and the
23,000 scabbards referred to In my last
report was suspended from February
24 to July 17, 1905."

39 KILLED, MANY
INJURED IN FIRE
GLASGOW VISITED BY WORST
BLAZE IN YEARS
Cheap Lodging House Partly Burned.
Panlc-Strlcken Men Escaping
and Bodies of Dead Choke
Passageways
By Associated Press.
GLASGOW. Nov. 19.-The most ter
rible fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years broke out here
today in a cheap lodging house In Wat
con street and resulted in the loss of
thirty-nine lives and the' severe Injury
of many others.
The flames were first noticed at 6
o'clock this morning on the fourth floor
of the building, which was occupied by
330 men. An alarm was raised and the
firemen responded quickly, but the
flames and smoke were then issuing
from most of the windows on the
fourth floor. An extraordinary scene
was created by a procession of almost
naked men rushing out of the entrance
to the building and against their frantic
efforts to escape the firemen had actu
ally to fight for admission.
Reaching the upper floors, the fire
men found that the narrow passages
were becoming congested with men who
had dropped to the floors overcome by
smoke. The flre, however, was con
fined to the fourth floor, and as soon
as the firemen were able to get to
work It. was speedily extinguished. The
flames had been fed by the wooden
partitions which, threw oft volumes of
smoke, resulting In the suffocation of
the Inmates, but others had to be taken
to hospitals.
The dead were mostly workmen in
the. prime of life. They presented a
horrible sight.
Many were sleeping In the attic floor
above the burning fourth floor and had
harrow escapes. The flames burst
through the floor and It was impossible
for the men to descend. The windows
were securely fastened and the men
had to break them so that they could
climb through to neighboring roofs.
By 10 o'clock a search of the building
was made and a complete list of the
victims obtained which showed that
thirty-nine .were dead and thirty-two
were injured. • • '
It appears to be the custom of these
lodgers to sleep in a nude condition and
the march .of the j survivors ■to ■ the
police station .was. a fantastic one.
Some ,had snatched . the covers , of the
beds arid others their' trousers, - while
many wore nothing. The local authori
ties had to be called upon to supply
the men with clothing and warm meals.

UP LEGAL. CONTROVERSY
JURISDICTION OF PORTLAND IS
QUESTIONED
Descent of City's Police on Resort in
Incorporated Town In . Another
County Causes Complications, and
Keeper of the Place Will Fight./ ..
By Associated .Press.
. PORTLAND. Or'., -Nov. 19.— A pecu
liar legal ■ entanglement •• Is . like
ly, it Is said, to result from a raid made
last night by -Portland police on tha. Mil
waukee Country club, a gambling resort
operated in the city of Milwaukee,
Clackamas . county, • a town lying on
the Willamette river a couple of miles
south of the .city 'limits of Portland.
According to the charter of . the ; city
of Portland, which Is In Multnomah
county, granted by the state legisla
ture, the police power of Portland to
suppress gambling extends a distance
of four miles outside the boundaries
of the city.
At the time the charter -was passed
there was no incorporated town within
four miles of Portland's limits. Sub
sequently, however, the legislature
passed an act incorporating the city
of Milwaukee, conferring upon It . the
usual pollen powers enjoyed by Incor
porated cities.
Shortly after Sheriff Word of this
county concluded a successful campaign
against gambling In Portland, Isaac
"Frenchy" Grattan established . the
Milwaukee Country club. This Institu
tion has been a thorn In the side of
Mayor Harry Lane's administration
and after months of threats, the local
detectives finally raided the place.
Grattan. who Is a man. of large
means, claimed to have expended $20,
000 in his resort, and, it Is said, will
contest In the courts the question as to
whether the act incorporating Milwau
kee did not repeal the police power of
Portland as the territory within Mil
waukee is concerned and also as to
whetherthe state can vest in a munici
pal corporation the power to invade
the confines of another county of the
state for any purposes whatever.
Legal authorities in this city disagree
on the legality of the act.

STEEL INGOT CONTAINING
WORKMEN'S BODIES BURIED
TWO LABORERS WERE ENGULFED
IN MOLTEN METAL
Big Mass Is Laid Away at Mldvale, Pa.,
With the Solemn; Rites, of the
i - Roman Catholic Church, to Which
' Its-Victims Belonged
By Associated Press.'
i PHILADELPHIA.. Nov. 19.— At Mid
vale, today a forty- tejn steel ingot per
meated with ' the . blood and bones of
two * workmen S were - buried - with 1 the
solemn' rites of 'the -Roman Catholic
church. The workmen who were so
strangely laid away 1 were John Forkln
and Joseph Gaseda, two foreign-speak
ing laborers, who met a horrible death,
a week ago. They were in a pit near
a -cupola containing- 80,000 pounds of
molten steel. ' A plug gave way and
the fiery fluid poured from the cupola
and overwhelmed them. The men were
completely incinerated, and not a trace
of them or their clothing was left.
The Mldvale Steel company -was
averse to selling the steel. or using it
and it was decided to bury It with the
rites of the church to which the unforr
tunate men had : belonged. Accordingly
the forty-ton Ingot, oval in . shape,
twenty-eight feet long, six feet wide
and five feet thick was moved last
week by a traveling crane to the rear
of the machine shop, where a grave ten
feet ■ deep had been made. The great
mass of metal was laid in the hole and
a platform built over it so that the
burial services could be better per
formed.
A great crowd sought ■ admission to
the works today but only the two sis
ters of Gaseda who . depended upon
him for support and about 100 work
men who were on Sunday duty were
permitted to attend the services along
with the officials of . the company.
Among the officials: ' was President
Charles Harrah. . All heads were bared
and flags were lowered to half staff
while two priests conducted the serv
ices. After the Bisters of Gaseda had
been led away the great ingot was
covered with i earth and the funeral
party dispersed. The grave of the men
will be appropriately marked by the
company.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20, 3:10 a,
m.— The conservative • leaders - ln the
Council of Workmen are again victor-"
lous. At 2:65 o'clock this morning they:
carried a. resolution against any attempt'
to Introduce a movement for an eight
hour day.
When the council convened last night
a Socialist representative introduced art
amendment to the resolution calling oft
the strike, providing that the men, in
returning to work hereafter labor only
eight hours, laying down their tools at
4 o'clock in the afternoon Instead of 6,
while insisting on the same rate of pay:
Encouraged by their earlier victory, the
conservative leaders at once opened 'a
vigorous opposition.- to the resolution,
pointing out the determination of the
employers to regard any attempt to ob
tain shorter hours by," revolutionary
means as the signal for a lockout of the
great mass of the workmen of . St.
Petersburg and that they were in posi
tion to enter on a prolonged combat of
endurance at the very outset of a long
cold ■winter. •'.-_ ■>'•;• .V-. 1
Decisive Fight In January
A number of orators even questioned
the wisdom of an eight-hour day. itself,'
declaring that Russia at present I was
not ripe for it,' while others who are In
sympathy ■' with the movement' for 'a
shorter day declared that It would not
be wise to fritter away their, strength'
at this time when a great and decisive
combat in January was Imminent. '.'■"> : :;

At headquarters, however,? It
was 'said that there had . been no dis
orders and at strike headquarters the
Associated Preps was : informed -, ths t
there had been no collision, though per
haps a few shots might have been fired
in the air by overexuberant demon
strators. Nevertheless the patrols \ln
tll» streets were doubled • yesterday. 1
These were generally commanded I by.
non-commissioned officers, showing that
in spite of the rumors of dissatisfaction
among) the troops the government was
not afraid to trust the soldiers of the
guard at large without commanding of

Council's Proclamation ■
The high-sounding proclamation with ,-.
which the Council of Workmen?an
nounced the end of the strike, I declar- •
ing that the "demonstration" had served
its purpose by saving the lives of the : "
mutineers at Cronstdt. of course Is 1';,
practically a blind to cover the defeat.,
as the trials of the mutineers are stilly
In progress. It Is at the same time i
shrewd tactics for use in the propa- ■• ■*
ganda which the council is . actively <*
pushing among the army and navy. ?,
Such a claim, however, cannot disguise
the fact that the strike was inaug
urated to compel the government not \
only to abolish martial law in Poland
and to compel the calling of a con- >
stituent assembly, none of which : ob- y.
Jects has been achieved.
