Shipping News and Gossip of the Water Front Steamer Persia and Japanese Coaster! Sink Junk and Drown Forty=Three Th« Occidental end Oriental steam ehip conpmy'g u ncr Asia, which ar rived from the orient on Saturday, brought word of a tragedy in Asiatic waters in which the Asia's eister ship the Persia played a part. The Persia is due here on Friday and Captain Dlxon's version of the disaster is await ed with interest. The disaster involved the sicking of a large Chinese junk and the locs of about two score lives. The accident occurred In the vicinity cf Shanghai. The Persia, inward bound, changed its course to clear an outward bouad Japanese coaster. As the Persia "Tin* around, a Chinese junk, an affair of about 1.000- toss register, crowded \u25a0with Asiatics, sailed across the liner's bow. Every effort was ms.<se to clear the eluißsy windjammer, but the Per sia had too much headway and struck 'he junk a glancing blow on t£e stern. The force of the collision shot the junk forward across the bow of the Japanese Bt«tner; which cut the junk down to tae water** «dge and sent the lumber ins <rraft to tne bottom. The Persia and the Japanese pro ceeded on their respective ways and a tnird vessel picked up those of the Mor.yoliars who had not gone down with the junk. It is said that 43 Chi nese were drowned, rhe officers of the Asia are reticent about the affair and. while afimittin? the truth of the re port, asked to b* excused from discuss ing It, as the Persia will be here on Friday, when Captain Dixon will turn In bis oCcial account of' the tragedy.

The ladies' waitias roon oa th« second floor, now nearly completed. Is only one of a number of lsaprot'ements contemplated and under way. Commuters in the habit of using the second floor of the big depot blessed the well directed energy of President Stafford yesterday, when they saw a gang of workmen installing heavy brass handrails down the wide ston* stairways. Three of these rails are b«ing installed on each stairway, and when tie work Is finished the climb up exd down will have lost its terror for the aged and infirm, for the mother wito a baby In her arms and a herd cf children clinging to her skirts, and fcr the citizea from across the bay wfco overballaats himself from the hos pitable sideboard of his city hO6t- The big archway at the depot front that was blocked up by the Spear board to provide a bulkhead for a bootblack tttnfl. tas been torn down. The col ored gentleman who now operates the cioeblack stand at the foot of the mar. ble etairway has been ordered to va cate, and in the epate they now occupy a f.rst class casdy stand will be in stalled.

In - the meanwhile- it , would.; be \ neces sary! for the city to take • stips to pro vide < a more adequate system of fire protection. Brandensteln .suggested the installation of fresh water cisterns throughout' the city. The : \u25a0 idea ap pealed to Shaugnessy and h«;has un dertaken to draw up a comprehensive scheme for the protection of the city. The , old cisterns in the lower section of the city will be put'ln working or der as soon as possible. It;isi proposed to meet the cost,en tailed, in the construction of these cis terns : by; monthly^ appropriations. It is believed that the difference in. insur ance ratss will more than pay for the work. ! \u25a0 While -it has been the" policy always to, maintain cisterns full of water lor fire fighting - purposes In the various sections of the city, at the time of the April fire they were 'to a large extent unfit . for use. ? Some fca4 been covered overhand no record had been kept of others which could have been used to good advantage. ; . \u25a0Under, the. new system It Is proposed to make the cisterns a regular part of the fire fighting machinery; and to keep them in such condition that they t can be used at any; moment In case of emergency. It is the ; belief that : the construction- of these cisterns through out: the city will bring about a rapid decline in * the/ insurance rates, which have mounted to unusual proportions.
