CAPTURE OF ANARCHISTS IN HOME OF PRESIDENT SALLES OF BRAZIL Lawson says he could not give his friends any advance Information concern ing this break for the simple reason that he did not possess the Information; that certain directors and insiders of the Amal gamated Company sold their holdings pre vious to the announcement of the cut in the dividend. In his opinion the cut in the dividend was not compelled by any business neces sity. Rumors to the contrary notwith standing, says Lawson, he is not going to fail, but is in a financial condition to meet any exigencies which may arise.

This seemed in danger at one time and all the books '.we're taken out, but a change of the wind at an opportune moment saved the structure. Cause Is a Mystery. As yet : no satisfactory conclusion has been arrived at as to the origin of the conflagration. The theory of incendiar ism is advanced by some, as there was no fire kept in the building at that time of night, but so far nothing definite has been proved. - - Great credit is due the firemen for their successful efforts in: saving the bridge./ Had this been, burned it would have been a severe loss to the town, as it affords the only connection over which teams can pass between the east and west side of town. This was the second conflagration In the town's history. The first occurred in July, 1891, when nearly all of the business houses on the east side of the bridge were destroyed. Since that time the "greater part of the business of the town had been transacted on the west side. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0/.

' 4 • • RACES ON THE ROCKS IN A SHIPWRECKING FOG Canadian' Pacific's Steamfr Hating Goes Ashore at Jervis Island* but the . Passengers Are Landed. The steamer was going at half speed, probably about nine knots, when she struck. Her nose bunted up on shore and she was too fast fixed to be pulled off by her own steam. Captain Gosse kept the passengers in perfect control and they were immediately landed. It was at low tide, and the stern of the steamer sank in seven feet of water. When the tide came in it was expected that she would be entirely covered. Within an hour after she struck a boat's crew, in charge of Pilot Guns, was dispatched to Vancouver. After rowing «li night they arrived here late this af- terday afternoon at 2 o'clock. She now lies hard and fast on the end of Jervis Island, forty-nine miles north from Vancouver. She had 175 passengers from the Klondike aboard and all of them are now safely landed on Lasquetti Island. The weather was extremely foggy at the time of the accident. Captain* Gosse was on the bridge and Chief Officer Neu- Totros. late of the Islander, which sank two months ago. was with him. The channel is very narrow at this point and It was impossible to see a dozen feet through the fog. VANCOUVER. B. C.
